What's up guys, Coach Madden, official trainer at YouGoProBaseball and today I've got 5 unique
exercises for you that you can do with the bands when you're training for baseball.
Now, everyone has seen guys training with the resistance bands for baseball.
You know, you see guys on the fence all the time getting their exercises in with the bands
but in this video I'm going to show you 5 unique exercises that you may have not ever
seen but are very useful and work very well.
So, check them out.
Alright, so the first one is going to be Squat Pulls.
We're going to put the bands down nice and low and we're going to obviously put these
on our wrists.
I like to use the Jaeger Bands, J-Bands, because they have the wrist straps and you're not
holding on to the handles.
It just takes some of the tension off of the forearm and the elbows so you really get the
work in the shoulder.
That's why I like these.
I sell these on my website.
They're on sale right now if you're interested in these.
Of course, you can use other bands as well to do these exercises but you may have to
do them a little bit differently.
The first one, the first exercise, unique, is going to be Squat Pulls.
So you're going to get into a squat like you're a catcher.
You want good squat posture, butt down nice and low, chest up.
And then we're just going to pull one arm at a time coming back to our ear.
Just like this.
I really like this exercise because it engages your legs, it engages your core, and it's
working on the shoulder at the same time.
You've really got to be balanced.
You've got to be able to control your body when you're doing this and you're getting
a great shoulder workout.
The next exercise is Half Kneeling Ys.
We know the traditional Ys where we are just making our body look like a Y when we are
pulling back but this one we're going to be in the half kneeling position with our throwing
leg forward.
We're going to clip this down low and then we're going to go Ys this way.
We can also do this one arm at a time.
We can work blocking off with this arm and then pulling up so we've really got to stabilize
the rotation of the core as well.
Obviously if we did it that way we would also want to switch and get the other side.
The third unique exercise that we're going to do with the resistance bands is going to
be Wall Slides.
All you're going to do is put this behind your back and make sure it's centered and
then you're going to grab on to the bands where you feel some good tension.
You're going to get up against the wall, have really good posture, you're going to have
your forearms against the wall, and then you just want to slide them up and slide them
down.
Slide them up, slide them down.
The fourth unique band exercise, and this one is a tough one let me tell you this is
really tough, is going to be Side Plank Ts.
We know the traditional Ts where we are just making our body look like a T but this one
we're going to be in a side plank position and this is tough because it works on the
abs and the shoulder at the same time.
You can use both on one arm or just one.
I suggest starting with just one just to see how it feels.
You're going to put it on the wrist, then you're going to get into that side plank position
facing the bands holding it up and then you're going to get into that T. Keep those hips
up, good posture, really squeezing in the back.
The last exercise is going to be Rocker Rows, or what I call Rocker Rows and for this one
I'm going to use two on one arm because this one you're a little bit stronger in the exercise.
All you're going to do is get into your Rocker position.
Everyone knows the Rocker Drill, right?
Nice and wide, heal to heal with the feet, front foot open, back foot like you're on
the rubber, you're going to sit into it.
Now for this one we want to get some extension out in front so kind of let the bands pull
us out in front and then we're going to pull back like we're doing a row.
I want you to be blocked of with your other side.
Pull back like we're doing a row and get some rotation as well and pinch back in the back
here.
So just like this.
Rock forward, rock back and row.
Rock forward, rock back and row.

ADAM: NEW HAMPSHIRE IS INCHING
CLOSER TO BRINGING NEW
TECHNOLOGY INTO ITS ELECTIONS.
WHEN THE GRANITE STATE VOTES,
THE WORLD IS WATCHING.
AND THAT'S PART OF WHY THE
SECRETARY OF STATE IS TAKING A
MEASURED APPROACH TO ELECTRONIC
POLL BOOKS.
ON FIRST-IN-THE-NATION PRIMARY
DAY IN 2016, THE LONE POLLING
LOCATION IN MERRIMACK WAS
SWAMPED.
CITIZENS WAITED FOR HOURS TO
CAST BALLOTS SOME GIVING UP
BEFORE GETTING A CHANCE TO VOTE.
>> IT WAS JUST TOO HARD TO GET
THERE.
THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS GOING TO
SIT IN TRAFFIC FOR THAT LONG.
ADAM: WHILE THE GRIDLOCK WAS
LARGELY THE PRODUCT OF HIGH
TURNOUT AND A REDESIGNED TRAFFIC
PATTERN SOME OF THE WAIT MAY
, HAVE BEEN ALLEVIATED BY THESE,
E-POLL BOOKS, THE ELECTRONIC
VERSION OF THE PAPER CHECKLISTS
MAINTAINED BY LOCAL ELECTIONS
OFFICIALS.
>> WE CAN ELIMINATE THE LINES
AND PROCESS PEOPLE VERY QUICKLY.
ADAM: A BIG PUSH IS UNDERWAY FOR
ELECTRONIC BOOKS IN THE GRANITE
STATE.
A NEW LAW UNDER CONSIDERATION AT
THE STATEHOUSE WOULD ALLOW FOR A
TRIAL PROGRAM TO LET CITIES AND
TOWNS TEST OUT THIS HARDWARE.
>> I'D CHALLENGE ANYONE TO COME
OUT AND SEE THE POLL WORKERS USE
THIS.
WE FIND THEM REALLY TAKING TO IT
VERY EASILY, AND THEY REALLY
LIKE IT A LOT BETTER THAN THE
PAPER.
INSTEAD OF KIND OF FUMBLING
THROUGH A BIG BOOK TRYING TO
FIND A NAME.
ADAM: WHILE THIS IS NOT
ELECTRONIC VOTING, THE E-POLL
BOOKS STILL COME WITH THEIR OWN
SET OF SECURITY CONCERNS.
SECRETARY OF STATE BILL GARDNER
HAS EXPRESSED SKEPTICISM ABOUT
THE TECHNOLOGY IN THE PAST.
>> I'M VERY CAUTIOUS AND CAREFUL
AND I WANT TO TRY TO HAVE ALL
THE QUESTIONS ANSWERED BEFORE WE
START DOWN THIS ROAD.
ADAM: GARDNER IS PARTICULARLY
INTERESTED IN BACKUP SYSTEMS AND
HOW THE BOOKS GUARD AGAINST
HACKERS.
HE SAYS THE INTEGRITY OF THE
VOTE IS PARAMOUNT.
>> IT'S ABOUT ELECTIONS AND
ELECTIONS ARE A SACRED PROCESS.
ADAM: BUT THOSE ON THE GROUND
ADMINISTERING THAT SACRED
PROCESS SAY THIS IS THE FUTURE.
>> I BELIEVE IT IS.
I THINK AS WE CAN SEE IN MOST
ASPECTS OF OUR LIVES AND
WORKPLACES THAT TECHNOLOGY IS AT
THE FOREFRONT.
ADAM: SUPPORTERS OF E-POLL BOOKS
SAY ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF THE
TECHNOLOGY IS A MORE SECURE AND
THOROUGH CHECK-IN PROCESS THAT
WOULD MAKE IT HARDER TO COMMIT
VOTER FRAUD.

How To Prepare Your Soil For Spring Season (Tips And Tricks) - Duration: 1:57.
you know the nice weather that we're
having is a good opportunity for you to
get out and evaluate your garden if it's
ready for planting if you haven't had
the opportunity to incorporate the
organic matter that you left on at the
fall before it's a really good time to
get out there and either rototill it or
turn it with a hand spade you might not
necessarily need to rototill every fall
and every spring because we want to try
and keep the soil structure optimal for
plant growth if you continue to rototill
you're breaking down the soil clods
which isn't best for plant growth
because you're taking out a lot of those
intercellular spaces and reducing the
available oxygen in the soil structure
really the only time that you want to
rototill or hand spade is when you have
some organic matter that you're trying
to incorporate or even if you want to
incorporate some compost that you've
made over the winter once you turn it
with the hand spade then you can go over
it with a rake and smooth it out and
it'll be ready for planting these nice
sunny days that we're having can be a
really nice motivator for you to get out
and work in your garden and get your
soil prep for planting and if you need a
little physical activity from your rest
over the winter time it's a good way to
get it this is jeff edwards for the
University of Wyoming extension from the

How BATGIRL is a Strong AND Weak Feminist Comic Book Character! | Auram's Comics - Duration: 11:52.
JOHN: Hey, Jim, I we should make, like, a female Bat character to add to the Batman
mythos.
I think that would be really cool.
JIM: Oh, yeah, that's a great idea, I like that!
Cause, y'know, we could make her the love interest for Batman.
Y'know, Bruce Wayne's going around with Robin and people are startin' to talk; they're
startin' to say that maybe he, uh, bats for the other team and that's not okay,
we can't have that.
She'll come in and dispel those rumours.
JOHN: Yeah, but, maybe we should just not-- JIM: Ooh, and another thing we could do--this
is a great idea, I came up with this one myself--we could have her fight all the enemies that
are related to Batman's enemies.
And then, this is the greatest idea of all, this is how we end her saga.
Maybe it gets picked up again later, who fuckin' cares?
This is what we do, we cripple the bitch-- JOHN: NO!
Jim!
We should make her a strong, independent character in comics.
She doesn't have to rely on any man or anything, she's her own character, whoever this bat
girl might be.
She should be a symbol for feminism and the Women's Liberation Movement that's happening
right now, and all this stuff!
JIM: What're you, fuckin' gay?!
JOHN: Bye bye.
Bye bye.
AURAM: Hello and welcome to
the Show With Issues, I'm Auram, and it's that time again, we may have another touchy
subject, because apparently all I can talk about on this show anymore is controversy!
Regardless, today I'm going to be bringing you a character analysis of Barbara Gordon's
Batgirl, with a heavy emphasis on her status as a feminist symbol, which is to say that
she provided a fantastic portrayal of a woman being equally as powerful and important as
a man in comics.
Feminism is about equality, not women being better than men, just to clear up any confusion.
So let's jump right into it, starting with what I just mentioned, Batgirl as a feminist
symbol.
To truly explain this, we need to go all the way back to the 50's, 1954 to be more exact.
1954 was the year that Fredric Wertham published his infamous book Seduction of the Innocent,
an analysis of comic books at the time and how they were poisoning our youth, which led
to many changes in comics and the establishment of the Comics Code Authority.
One major claim Wertham made in the book was that Batman and Robin were in a relationship
with each other, writing, "Sometimes Batman ends up in bed injured and young Robin is
shown sitting next to him.
At home they lead an idyllic life.
They are Bruce Wayne and 'Dick' Grayson.
Bruce Wayne described as a 'socialite' and the official relationship is that Dick is
Bruce's ward.
They live in sumptuous quarters, with beautiful flowers in large vases...Batman is sometimes
shown in a dressing gown...It is like a wish dream of two homosexuals living together."
He continues later, touching more on Robin saying, "He is buoyant with energy, and
devoted to nothing more than Bruce Wayne.
He often stands with legs spread, the genital region discreetly evident."
Regardless of whether or not this subtext was intended by the writers or even there
to begin with, DC decided that they had to act on this claim.
Enter Kathy Kane, the Batwoman of the Silver Age.
Making her debut in 1956's Detective Comics #233, Batwoman was primarily created as a
knee-jerk reaction to be a love interest for Batman because of the "outlandish" claims
that Wertham made.
Mike Madrid wrote this about the character in his fantastic book The Supergirls, "Let
Wonder Woman keep her Herculean strength, her bulletproof armbands, and her unbreakable
lasso.
Batwoman has all she needs to clean up crime in Gotham city right in her little red handbag.
With her lipstick, powder, perfume, and hair net, Batwoman would show the Dynamic Duo a
thing or two about how a lady fights crime."
To further refute any claims of Batman and Robin being "more than friends," Batwoman's
niece, Betty Kane, joined the fray as Bat-Girl, but with a hyphen for whatever reason.
Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson had Batman and Robin while Kathy and Betty Kane had Batwoman
and Bat-Girl.
Together, with a few extras, they formed the Bat-Family and people slowly started to lose
interest in the Batman comics with these characters involved.
Sales were dropping because of the zany science-fiction tonal shift in these comics, so in 1964, with
Detective Comics #327, new editor Julius Schwartz made a change.
The Bat-Family was all gone, except Robin, and Alfred was killed off, being replaced
by Dick Grayson's Aunt Harriet.
It's also worth mentioning that this last change was probably done to dispel any lasting
rumours of Bruce and Dick having too much fun in that big mansion all by themselves,
now they had a woman to keep them in check.
Anyway, let's skip forward a bit to 1966 where Batman's TV show is about to enter
its third season.
Editor Schwartz was asked by the producers of the show to create a new female character
to boost ratings and attract a new female audience to the show, so he did.
Nearly simultaneously, in 1966, Barbara Gordon was introduced to the comics and the silver
screen with Detective Comics #359 and Batman's third season!
In that fateful first comic appearance, Barbara Gordon, daughter of the Gotham police commissioner,
was planning to crash the Policeman's Masquerade ball, dressed in a Bat costume, "The whole
world thinks I'm just a Plain Jane -- a colorless female 'brain'!
I'll show them a far more imposing girl tonight!"
On the way, however, Babs stumbled upon some action and acquired a genuine thirst for crime
fighting, leaving behind her childish impulse to intrude on her father's event.
This new Batgirl wasn't seen as a companion piece to Batman of any kind, although she
did initially come to blows with him for being a female crimefighter.
In her debut issue, Batman said, "This is a case for Batman and Robin!
I'm sorry--but you must understand that we can't worry ourselves about a girl…"
Barbara ignored this and continued operating as Batgirl, breaking the status quo.
Female superheroes at the time were written very differently than male superheroes.
For example, Bruce Wayne devoted his entire life to crime fighting and being the Batman,
while Kathy Kane quit her vigilante days as Batwoman almost immediately at Batman's
request without any argument.
This difference quickly made Batgirl become a symbol for feminism, especially since her
inception was at the height of the women's liberation movement which came to a head in
the 60's and 70's.
Another huge proponent of this was that Batgirl was her own character, not stuck in the shadow
of her male counterpart.
Mike Madrid explained this more eloquently than I could ever dream of describing it,
so take it away me reading from his book!
"Batgirl goes on a personal campaign to rid her home, Gotham City, of crime.
Plain and simple, and as pure a motive as any man might have.
She doesn't don a costume and throw herself into danger to prove her love for Batman.
Yes, she wears his symbol on her chest, but she is not his girlfriend or her faithful
handmaiden.
Certainly Batgirl wants Batman to respect her as a detective and an agent of justice,
but she doesn't require his validation or protection.
She is a creature of more enlightened times, and there was no way that Batman could have
belittled or controlled Batgirl the way he had Batwoman a few years earlier.
...Batgirl is a female who Batman can actually regard as a brilliant peer and a partner in
the war on crime, the same way he would a male."
And, hey, if you don't entirely agree with Madrid's or my analysis, take DC's word
for it.
When readers complained about the lack of Kathy Kane's Batwoman, a weak character,
DC themselves wrote this in the letters page of 1971's Detective Comics #417, "[We'd]
like to say a few words about the reaction some readers have to Batgirl.
These are readers who remember Batwoman and the other Bat-girls from year's back.
These characters were invented when the time was right for Bats.
They were there because romance seemed to be needed in Batman's life."
This sentiment, of course referring to them needing to save face from Wertham's claims
by introducing two female characters.
Continuing, DC said, "...thanks to the big change and a foresighted editor, these hapless
females are gone for good.
In their place stands a girl who is a capable crime-fighter, a far cry from Batwoman who
constantly had to be rescued from Batman."
That is a very feminist idea.
DC themselves stated that Batgirl was created as a counter to, "hapless females [...] who
constantly needed to be rescued [by] Batman."
Barbara Gordon continued with this trend as a strong independent bat who needs no man
for decades up until 1988 with Batgirl Special #1 written by Barbara Kesel.
In this issue, Babs finally hung up the cape and cowl and retired for good, returning to
her life as a bookish librarian.
She was stuck as a background character for a brief period until one fateful night depicted
in Alan Moore's The Killing Joke.
In the story, Barbara is essentially used as nothing more than a plot device, being
shot and paralyzed from the waist down by Joker to make her father go crazy so that
Joker could prove a point to Batman.
This was given next-to-no thought by Moore who said this on the subject, "I asked DC
if they had any problem with me crippling Barbara Gordon—who was Batgirl at the time—and
if I remember, I spoke to Len Wein, who…[got] back onto the phone and said, 'Yeah, okay,
cripple the bitch.'"
To be fair to Moore, he did later express regret on treating Babs so poorly in his story,
saying it was, "shallow and ill-conceived," but this did raise some rather concerning
contradictions with Batgirl's status as a feminist symbol and the path that this story
led her down.
She became Oracle after The Killing Joke, a superhero in her own right, sure, but was
mostly confined to working for Batman and his friends, in their shadows.
And here's another issue with Batgirl's status as a feminist symbol.
She totes herself as being her own vigilante, fighting her own battles against crime in
Gotham, Burnside, or wherever she may be, but at the same time a lot of her rogues gallery
and stories are borrowed from the Batman mythos.
Just look back at The Killing Joke and her paralysis; this is a monumental moment in
Batgirl's history, a moment where she was used as nothing more than a small part of
Batman's greatest enemy's plan.
Barbara was definitely a strong female character in comics, but the lack of a breakout Batgirl
solo title and very few Batgirl-lead stories in other books is definitely concerning.
In fact, it wasn't until 2000 that the first Batgirl solo title was launched and it wasn't
even Barbara Gordon, it was Cassandra Cain!
The following decade, Batgirl, now Oracle's romps were mostly confined to assisting Batman
and being the tech girl for the Birds of Prey.
She was in this weird fugue state of being a character that just kind of existed.
In 2011, however, DC's New 52 initiative was launched, breathing new life into their
lineup and putting Barbara Gordon back into the Batgirl uniform!
Gail Simone brought Barbara into a whole new era.
DC's continuity had been stripped down and condensed, with Babs being around five years
into her career at the time of Batgirl #1.
She was working under Batman as Batgirl for a full year before retiring, Killing Joke
happening, and her becoming Oracle.
Three years and an experimental surgery later and she's back as Batgirl, but with a whole
host of non-superhero-traditional issues.
"One thing the book is truly about, is that the after-effects of something like PTSD (post-traumatic
stress disorder) or other trauma-related syndromes, can strike even very smart, very intellectually
tough people, even soldiers and cops.
We have seen very little about this in superhero comics, really.
People return from the dead, people are tortured, the world is threatened, and the next day,
it's as if it was all forgotten."
This was Simone's mission statement with her take on Batgirl.
She's not just the "girl Batman," she's her own crimefighter with her own villains
and mental issues to combat.
But, at the same time, all of her mental issues -- the Survivor's guilt, PTSD -- stem from,
once again, the Joker, Batman's greatest enemy.
And this isn't to say this is a bad thing.
Simone took Alan Moore's careless use of Babs in The Killing Joke and turned it into
a catalyst for some really amazing stories with the character.
But, it's when some writers pit her against some of Batman's villains (or villains related
to Batman's villains) that this becomes a problem.
It weakens Batgirl's independence from her inspiration.
Even from a basic storytelling perspective, it's just not great writing.
Take these couple issues from her current Rebirth run.
Babs is on her way back from China on a plane where she runs into Poison Ivy, trying to
transport a rare plant.
This is just highly convenient timing.
Not only did Babs happen to run into a villain on her plane back to America, but it also
ended up being Poison Ivy, one of Batman's villains, not one of her own.
To play devil's advocate even further, we should talk about her namesake.
She is BATgirl, part of the Bat-family, so shouldn't she be fighting Bat-villains and
being part of Bat-events all the time?
Well, yes and no.
In Simone's run on the character, Babs is in Gotham, she's in the thick of it.
Here it makes sense that she would run into Batman's rogues gallery or be tied into
Bat-events, but when she's literally anywhere else, it gets awfully convenient.
And besides, at the end of the day, Batgirl herself has expressed the aspirations to be
her own hero.
She's not the hapless women that the Kanes were, she wants to show people that she's
not just another "colorless female brain."
In Barbara's own words, written by Gail Simone in Batgirl #6, "Similar name and
wardrobe, sure.
But, [she] stood apart.
[She] was Batgirl."
I hope something I said here today resonated.
I tried with this video to get a couple ideas in your head; Batgirl is a strong feminist
character and that, at the same time, she's not perfect in this regard, much like the
state of women in comics as a whole.
Huge shout out to Mike Madrid's The Supergirls and Gail Simone's Batgirl for serving as
inspiration for this video.
Both are incredible works that you guys should all check out.
If you want some more Bat-goodness without all this feminism analysis stuff, my buddy
Jay over at FT Productions has a whole playlist filled with just that!
You'll also see a familiar face over there seeing as I did a review of Tom King's Batman
that will not go up on this channel!
You can only see it there!
So go watch it!
Anyway, thanks so much for watching!
Next time I use my hidden laser spatula to defeat my enemies!
Because that makes sense...

The Music Director - In the Wings - Stagecraft 101 - WE LOVE THEATRE - Duration: 7:32.
you're always exploring a different
style of music and helping that
particular style of music come to
fruition in front of a big audience hi
my name is Carmel Dean and I am a
musical director
a musical director Wiz a million
different hats there are many different
facets of the music department that have
to be taken care of as a musical
director um it's my passion to ensure
that the style of music is is going to
be true to whatever the composer wants
and true to the theatrical experience I
have been playing the piano since I was
three years old so it's always been a
part of my life I don't even remember
asking to take piano lessons I didn't
actually get involved in theatre until
11th or 12th grade um I did two musicals
in high school one was the boyfriend
with Heath Ledger coming from the
neighboring boy school and then I got
involved in the amateur theatre scene in
Paris and it just opened up this whole
wide world that I didn't know about and
I fell in love with it in two thousand I
was lucky enough to be awarded a
fulbright scholarship and so I came to
New York University one of the faculty
members down there is william finn and i
went up to him or one of the first days
that i met him and I told him how much I
was a fan and then I would love to work
with him and I can't believe it was as
easy as that but that's basically how I
met bill and started working for him and
he asked me to assist him on elegies his
song cycle at Lincoln Center and pretty
soon after that he started writing
spelling bee and he asked me to do the
vocal arrangements and I was pretty
involved in that entire writing process
and i ended up also being the associate
conductor of the show once it moved to
broadway a good musical director needs
patients needs to have a good ear
obviously there's a lot going on
starting and rehearsals the musical
director works with the singers to teach
them the vocal parts and often they're
you know many different vocal lines
going on
depending on the arrangement I've always
loved working with singers to encourage
and to teach and to help them shine the
way that they have the ability to
there's also the collaboration with the
director the musical supervisor in the
case of American Idiot is Tom KITT who
also did the orchestrations and the
vocal arrangements so we work hand in
hand in in making sure that the music
not only sounds as good as it as it can
but also serves the dramatic requests of
the piece and i'm working with michael
mayer and steven hoggett the
choreographer you know it's one giant
collaboration to make sure that the
stories being told the way they want it
to be told before before we go into
performance so in the rehearsal room
it's it's all about being a vehicle for
Tom KITT his musical intentions so
making sure that the singers know
exactly what they're doing and the band
is playing the correct correct patches
on guitar the different sounds the
keyboard is programmed the way that Tom
wants it to sound and then once the show
opens a big part of my job is
maintaining all of those aspects and
that's what's interesting to the musical
director is one of the only members of
that original creative and production
team from the rehearsal room who then
continue with the show so currently I'll
have a vocal rehearsal every one or two
weeks the beauty of the vocal rehearsal
is they can just stand there and sing
and focus in on what everyone else is
singing and not have to worry about the
choreography and quick costume changes
you know making sure they're ready for
the next cue it's just a chance to get
back to the very basic musical elements
of the show and it's it's actually
tricky to to remember that when they've
got all these other elements that
they're doing at a nightly basis I don't
remember the last show that we've done
where there's been a full cast in we've
had
understudies on we've had cast changes
so every night there's there's a quick
put in rehearsal or just a run through
with these with whoever's going on in
whatever different track they're doing
they may not have done it before so
making sure those people know what
they're doing in you know a 15 minute
window before the show starts and then I
run up to my little dressing room and
throw my costume on and put my makeup on
and put my hair and the little twists
and eight o'clock come down and start
conducting show the band is on-stage in
American Idiot it's so wonderful to have
the band be appreciated and to be
visible there's so many shows the
orchestra is under the state it's so
different to anything I've ever done
because it's you know it's punk rock
genre but it is also theater as a music
director you need to be so well-versed
in and switching gears die elastically
you know a lot of people ask me oh you
know that punk rock conductor and I'm
like well I am right now and i love it
and i love this music to death but i
love a Stephen Sondheim musical you know
more than anything and I you know love
william finn and basically if it's good
music I'm attracted to it the best part
of musical direction is the
collaborative process and working with
so many different artists everybody
brings something different to whatever
piece it is that you constantly you know
being blown away by these amazing people
that you're working with and not only
that you then get to be a part of making
amazing music every night

>>TRANSMISSION INCOMING
Greetings.
I've transmitted this signal to the channel in your language because all of you keep asking over and over,
is this lore? Is this lore? This isn't fucking lore. It's reality.
My two minos have executed a command on the server that runs the SiIvchemistGunrea channel, a command that has not yet been tested...
They have also broken the monitor on the server computer, so it will be impossible to fix from the source of the problem.
If this problem is to be fixed, it is up to the mere eight people subscribed to this shitpile of a channel to fix it. I won't tell you how to do that yet, but I will tell you what you are supposed to know.
The SiIvchemistGunrea channel now runs in an alternate dimension.
THE alternate dimension, to be exact.
You don't know what's in store. Everything, and I mean everything, on the channel is different now. If you all care enough, you will have until a future rip is uploaded to fix the problem.
What future rip, you may ask? What else?
You have until the fourteenth rip after this one to get the server back into your dimension. I will tell you how to do that in the next rip.
For now,
Welcome to alt dot bat. Have fun.

Davao Band Scene - Lost Tribe - Duration: 5:00.
Good day.
My last vlog about Davao's local band scene didn't do justice to the band Lost Tribe.
So I made a separate video
where you can watch them exclusively.
For some reason, when I was editing the last one
I think I missed uploading this clip
to my editing software.
I'm releasing this because
this band was given the least exposure
on my Davao Band Scene vlog.
This is why I'm releasing this.
