Welcome to the Swamp: Give Us This Day Our Daily Briefing - #JPLMagazine

Friends, colleagues, and other countrymen, the second volume of 'Welcome to The Swamp', entitled "Give Us This Day Our Daily Briefing" is now available for your viewing pleasure at .

***
"In addition to his big news, the Leader’s spokesperson hit the Press Briefing Bingo that day, employing at least five of the eight rhetorical devices for which the Administration had become famous:

denial, misdirection, obfuscation, questioning reality, hypocrisy, outright lies, talking out of both sides of your mouth, and tautology.

The Huffington Post ran a series where the briefings were scored like poker hands or Yahtzee – misdirection, obfuscation, and an outright lie would be considered a small straight, for example, while three denials, and two tautologies was a full house (and a strong one, at that). HuffPo was quite ahead of their time when it came to conversational sabermetrics."

ALL TOGETHER NOW #4 FEATURED PERFORMER - SATURDAY APRIL 29, 2017 at the Lilypad Inman at 9pm.

http://www.jplimeproductions.com/all-together-now/

First Frost is a Boston-based indie rock four-piece that draws on elements of shoegaze and experimental rock. The band peppers noise and oddity into songs while maintaining an accessible sound. First Frost was conceived when the compositional team of Morgan Browne and Lauren Koppelman sought out like-minded musicians following an intense, week-long writing session. The band became a reality after Morgan and Lauren met drummer Chris Mendoza and bass player Michael Kish. The duo brought energy, texture and melody to the rhythm section, arguably the defining element of their sound.
