The Cruel Cruel Summer of 2010

First it was "the year without a Summer." After the usual June gloom, we shivered through the coldest July in a century. And August brought even more overcast. The tourists turned away. The natives grew restless. Surfers still wore their wetsuits. Flowers failed to bloom. Today, as November approaches, San Diego is even more gray than it was back in May. I hate to be so negative, but it's true: Now is the autumn of our discontent. So if you're feeling a little "under the weather," rest assured, you're not alone. In Seattle they call this Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD. (But let's face it, they're used to it up there.) Here in Southern California, we're not emotionally equipped for a life without sunshine. A quick recap of what we've suffered through this Summer: June: Marine Layer Malaise We knew it was coming, of course. But it wasn't as bleak as it often is in June. Sure, it was mostly cloudy, but we had a few spots of sunshine, and trusted that the fog would lift in time. Some of us planned ahead and went to "the river" for the weekend. Many San Diegans even enjoyed the cool weather while it lasted ... and lasted. July: Mist Opportunities That 4th of July picnic? Opening day at the races? Catching some rays at the beach? Well, maybe you had fun -- if you were huddled under a blanket or umbrella. But for most of us, that family trip to the zoo just wasn't quite the same this year. No one really wants to watch gorillas in the mi ...

From The Horse’s Mouth: Josh Yule (Cruel Summer) on Cruel Summer

Cruel Summer Jangle-monsters Cruel Summer released their EP via West Coast power-indie label Mt. St. Mtn. . The effort, which showcased a sound steeped in noise-pop awesomeness was recorded in March 2012 by Jason Kick of Maus Haus fame at Secret Studios. The only complaint mustered about the record was its brevity and complaints like that are soon forgotten when immersed in breath-taking crescendos, and explosions of dreamy fuzz and feedback. Cruel Summer are reminiscent of the mid to late ‘80s C86 and SARAH sound with a dash of 4AD’s hazy early ‘90s catalogue. Naturally, Ghettoblaster had to catch up with CS’ Josh Yule to discuss the record. This is what he said about it… When did you begin writing the material for your record? Thea and I began writing about half of these songs at the end of 2011 when we, (a three-piece band at the time) were deeply in need of a bass player. Thea had some nearly complete songs from her solo project, Wild Gift, and I rushed to catch up. We kinda helped out one another with songwriting and ideas of which direction we should seek. What was the most difficult song to take from the initial writing stage through recording and mixing? Why was it so troublesome? I don’t recall any one particular song being too much of a challenge when writing and recording. We were so high on coffee, pizza, burgers and fries, and beer it was all a blur. Which of the songs on the record is most different from your origin ...

Laura Stevenson plays the Sunset Tavern tomorrow night with Field Mouse and Seapony! Tickets are still available here . There's something about Laura Stevenson's music that makes it impossible for me to stop listening to her songs. Last year, I played her song " Master of Art " hundreds of times in a matter of months, and this time around, on her latest record, Wheel , my drug is the first single, " Runner ." It sounds like the epitome of Summer—the chorus captures the same bright bitterness of "Vacation" by the Go-Go's, while Stevenson sings over and over, "This Summer hurts." It's the same kind of relationship I have with Summer. I love it, and I hate it. Elsewhere on Wheel , Stevenson continues the evolution from acoustic folk songs to more explosive anthems with injections of horns and piano—new layers reveal themselves with every listen. I chatted with Stevenson while her band made the long trip from Houston to El Paso. You used to be billed as Laura Stevenson and the Cans. I was going to ask you where the Cans went, but then I read your interview with Larry Livermore, where you pointed out one of the reasons you dropped it was because people kept making boob jokes. That was the thing that annoyed me from the get-go, but I was like, "I'm going to try to overcome this." Did you see Grimes's recent blog post about the things that she's no longer going to put up with as a female musician? She doesn't want to be infantilized; sh ...

Dry winter could lead to a cruel summer for Valley growers

Wed, 08 May 2013 18:45:08 GMT

A dry winter forced farmers in the Westlands Water District to run their wells far more last Summer than they usually would. The underground water table dropped a staggering 48 feet. After another dry winter in California, Westlands farmers this Summer will pump even more water, probably enough to fill 80% of Millerton Lake. Even so, many thousands of farmland acres will be left to grow tumbleweeds, and some crops already planted will wither. There won’t be enough water to go around. But Westlands farmers aren’t the only ones suffering from back-to-back dry winters. It will be a Cruel Summer for growers on millions of San Joaquin Valley acres in the nation’s most productive farming belt. Farm leaders say jobs will be lost, and small-town economies and businesses will be harmed. The Valley’s biggest reservoir — the underground — will continue to be drawn down, forcing many through the expense of redrilling wells and more electricity for pumping. “It’s going to be a long Summer all over the Valley,” said Gary Serrato, general manager of the Fresno Irrigation District, a 245,000-acre agency that includes the Fresno-Clovis area. For years, Serrato’s agency, other water districts and cities in the Valley have invested in ponding basins where they can send excess water to soak into the ground during big rainfall years. They’re raising the groundwater table and preparing for inevitable dry spells, but it’s not enough. Valley groundwater ...
