Faster than a speeding mobile phase!

I got some marketing material from Upchurch:

Faster than a speeding mobile phase!

More powerful than backpressure!

Able to leap tall columns in a single bound...

Look! Up in the sky! It’s tubing. It’s a fitting. It’s a valve.

It’s the Upchurch Scientific/Rheodyne 2006 catalog!

...fights a never ending battle against leaks, dead volume and tailing peaks.

Scientific advertising is weird.

Not your grandmother's klezmer

From a review in today’s Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:

David Krakauer Bubbemeises: Lies my Gramma Told Me

This is not your grandmother’s klezmer, unless Grandma likes remixed Hasidic chants, a klezmer tribute to James Brown and a raving battle for a reinvented Jewish identity.

Famed clarinet player and former Klezmatics member David Krakauer has been improvising freestyle klezmer for almost two decades.

On his latest disc, Krakauer pushes the boundaries by teaming with Jewish hip-hop architect DJ Socalled.

This union is innovative and genre bending. Check out “B Flat a la Socalled” and “Turntable Pounding.”

I’m thinking I want to hear this.
