Neon Trees

Any conversation with Neon Trees' Tyler Glenn is likely to be heavy on the word "fascinated." He's fascinated by pop culture, the talent of his band mates, authenticity in an inauthentic world and the power of imagination. The fact that Tyler writes killer songs isn't any kind of news. "Animal," from Neon Trees 2010 debut, Habits, was a double-platinum single. A wide ranging group of artists from Taylor Swift to Train to upcoming pop boys The Wanted have all covered the song, it was named the Top Alternative Song of 2011 by Billboard, and it even showed up on a Glee episode. As #1 hit, "Animal" was practically everywhere. The two other singles from Habits, "1983" and "Surrender," were nearly as huge. So "Habits" was indeed a success, but it wasn't the kind of success Neon Trees originally had had in mind. "When we made the last record, we tried to endear ourselves to the blogosphere," Tyler says. "We took these fantastic songs and we produced them in a way that we thought would attract the critics and the hip kids, and that's not what happened. Instead, we ended up being embraced by a completely different crowd of people – people who like us because we're entertaining. We played a show not long after the record came out, and afterwards a fan thanked me for making music fun again. That's much cooler than a five-star review in Pitchfork." The music may be full-on fun, but the lyrics? In addition to other less-than-trifling topics, Tyler writes about longing, masochism, vanity, the reality of reality, and the politics of gender. "I love juxtaposition," Tyler explains. "I love to wrap heavy themes in effervescence. When we started working on Picture Show I discovered I'd become fearless," Tyler continues ... "I love who our audience is; we don't need to be anything other than who we are. That was an incredible realization. It freed us up. We're unconstrained. We're bolder." "Picture Show", which will be released in April, was produced by Justin Meldal-Johnson, who's worked with Nine Inch Nails, Beck, and M83, amongst others. "It was a great experience. We really connected," Tyler says. "Justin's from the same world, musically. I'd be talking about the feeling of a Teenage Fanclub song that came out in 1992 or a moment in a Pulp song and he'd know exactly what I meant." Neon Trees have SoCal roots, but the band came together eight years ago when Tyler and his neighbor, guitarist Chris Allen, relocated to Provo, Utah, and hooked up with Elaine Bradley (drums) and bassist Branden Campbell. They still live in Provo, although Tyler describes Neon Trees as "citizens of the world." They've been traveling so much that home has become a foreign concept. In addition to doing time in New York and Los Angeles, Neon Trees have done more than 220 shows in the United States, Europe, Canada, and the UK. They've supported shows and tours with the Killers, My Chemical Romance, 30 Seconds to Mars, and, most recently, Neon Trees did an arena tour with Duran Duran. They've also performed on Jimmy Kimmel, Conan, Letterman and Leno. Tyler sums up Neon Trees best by saying, "There's an idea that rock and roll is about debauchery and drugs but that's not the spirit of rock and roll. That's acting rock and roll. That's lifestyle. The spirit of rock and roll is in the music, the emotional weight of the melodies and lyrics, the show and the performance, and with all of that, Neon Trees is rock and roll."

Casablanca Resort Packs A Punch

Mesquite, NV August 12, 2012

Mark your calendars! Amateur mixed martial arts returns to Mesquite, Nev., on Sat., Aug. 18, when Tuff-N-Uff?s Mayhem in Mesquite event takes place inside the CasaBlanca Resort at 6 p.m.

The first Tuff-N-Uff event held at the CasaBlanca Resort since the Xtreme Combat Weekend in October 2009, Mayhem in Mesquite promises fans a chance to see some of the future stars of mixed martial arts up close and in action, with 13 fights on the card including a Super Heavyweight Title defense. Las Vegas? Charles Williams (5-0) will go up against Jeremy Umland (2-0), who is traveling all the way from Verndale, Minn., to put on a show. Together, both undefeated super heavyweights weigh more than 600 pounds!

Also on the card are two women?s matches to help further the popularity and recognition that female MMA fighters deserve. Las Cruces, N.M.?s Tandra ?Tundra? Lopez (1-0) will go up against Lake Forest, Calif.?s Rachael Cummins (1-2) for the 125-Pound Tournament Title after Cummins? original opponent, Las Vegas? Christine Ferea (2-0), got a concussion during training and couldn?t compete. Also in the 125-pound division, Las Vegas? Jillian ?Justice? Lybarger (4-4) will square off against Mesa, Ariz.?s Cortney Casey (3-1).

The results of Mayhem in Mesquite will have a direct effect on Tuff-N-Uff?s upcoming Festi-Brawl being held Sun., Sept. 2, at the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa in Las Vegas, as the winner between Lopez and Cummins will defend her 125-Pound Tournament Title against the winner of the Lybarger/Casey fight.

Additionally, Mayhem in Mesquite will feature the winners of Mesquite Gaming?s Mayhem in Mesquite Ring Girl Competition. Three lucky winners were chosen by an expert panel of judges and crowd participation during the CasaPoolooza pool party on Aug. 11, based on their enthusiasm, personality and originality. Ten finalists were selected to compete for the honor of being one of the Mayhem in Mesquite ring girls based on photographs they submitted to Mesquite Gaming for the competition. The three Mayhem in Mesquite ring girlspicked were awarded a two-night stay at the CasaBlanca Resort on Aug. 17 and 18, a $ 75 luxury spa service and a $ 50 food credit. They will also be given a $ 500 cash prize following the event.

?We're excited to bring MMA to other parts of the state to give other parts of Nevada an exciting, excellent night of fights to remember, and look forward to returning to Mesquite more regularly,? said Barry Meyer, president of Tuff-N-Uff Productions, Inc.

This species will be included in the not yet published update to Flora of the Central Wasatch Front due to the somewhat expanded geographical coverage of that update (not because it has been found in Salt Lake County, although this location is in northern Utah County). Like C. fragilis, grows in rock crevices and outcrops, often in sheer cliffs, in places that are both very dry (as above) as well as moist.

Utah???????
by turquoiseturtle

How come people are acting like Utah is a whole other country???? I have answered some pretty weird questions about Utah lately, and I am just wondering if other people feel the same way. And if you say then it is a state full of Mormons, then I guess you could say the same thing about Alabama, because they have the most Christians than any other state in the US.
