There's nothing at this point that could make them stop. With each bruise, each victory and defeat their disdain grows. You know the laws of physics: "for every reaction there is an equal and opposite reaction."

The Bitter End / Ᵹ / Placebo Every step we take that's synchronized Every broken bone Reminds me of the second time That I followed you home

Chase You Down / Ᵹ / RUNAGROUND Can you see me right now I'm coming closer Think I figured you out Not like the others You don't blend with the crowd I've blown your cover Now I'm taking you down Taking you down

Felt This Good / Ᵹ / Kap Slap When we went down, we went down swinging Chewing on glass, with a bittersweet smile And when we got up, well we started singing I haven't felt this good in a while

Beat It / Ᵹ / Fall Out Boy You better run, you better do what you can Don't wanna see no blood, don't be no macho man You wanna be tough, better do what you can So beat it, but you wanna be bad

In The Air Tonight / Ᵹ / Nonpoint I can feel it Coming in the air tonight Oh Lord I’ve been waiting for this moment For all my life

Rootless Tree / Ᵹ / Damien Rice So fuck you, fuck you, fuck you And all we've been through I said leave it, leave it, leave it It's nothing to you And if you hate me, hate me, hate me Then hate me so good that you can let me out, let me out, let me out Of this hell when you're around

I Want to Kill You / Ᵹ / Powerman 5000 Wrap your hands around my neck It's what I need and should expect Don't hate the player, hate the game At least we know we feel the same

Better Than Get Even / Ᵹ / CKY If you're looking for a war I'm here to fight No, I ain't looking to get even And if you're really keeping score I'd start tonight 'Cause I'll do better than get even

Retaliate / Ᵹ / VNV Nation When the dust is settled Only one of us will see Which of us was worthy Which of us was weak And when this fight is over Only one of us will say Which of us the victor And which of us the prey

Happy Together / Ᵹ / Filter Me and you, and you and me No matter how they toss the dice It has to be The only one for me is you And you for me So happy together

Chainsaw / Ᵹ / Losers Two complain, two comply Two can use You poison me and I poison you Built to rust, but never break Can't escape Killing me Destroying you Synchronize

Points of Authority / Ᵹ / Linkin Park You love the things, I say I'll do The way I hurt myself again, just to get back at you You take away, when I give in My life, my pride, is broken

I Hope You Die / Ᵹ / The Bloodhound Gang I hope this helps to emphasize I hope this helps to clarify I hope you die

Evaluation of Host Associated Genetic Markers for Rapid PCR Based Identification of Fecal Contamination Sources in Water by Jia Xu in OAJESS- Lupine publishers

The water quality of many waterways in the state of Alabama, and in the nation as a whole, is deteriorating due to point and nonpoint source pollution from human and animal waste. Accurate identification of contamination sources is essential if we are to develop cost-effective pollution control strategies. The direct detection of host specific genetic markers by Polymerase Chain Reactions (PCR) has been widely used in identifying sources of fecal contamination in environmental waters. In this study, we conducted experiments to validate genetic markers associated with deer/elk, Canada goose, dog, and cattle for Microbial Source Tracking (MST) in Alabama. End point PCR was performed on 10 raw sewage samples and 133 fecal samples from nine animal species. Our results showed that CowM3, GFD (goose), and deer/elk associated markers have acceptable specificity and sensitivity, making them suitable for MST studies. However, the dog marker and one of the cattle markers (CowM2) exhibited cross reactions with other fecal samples.

What is pollution?

Pollution is the presence in or introduction into the environment of a substance or thing that has harmful or poisonous effects. Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light. Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants. Pollution is often classed as point source or nonpoint source pollution.

Air pollution is when a variety of chemicals into the atmosphere when we burn the fossil fuels we use every day. We breathe air to live and what we breathe has a direct impact on our health. Humans impact the environment in several ways. Common effects include decreased water quality, increased pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, depletion of natural resources and contribution to global climate change. Some of these are the direct result of human activities, whereas others are secondary effects that are part of a series of actions and reactions. For example, increased fossil fuel combustion from motor vehicles, industrial factories and power plants all pump large quantities of air pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, ozone and nitrous oxides, into the atmosphere. Other air pollutants, such as lead-based compounds, can lead to serious health effects like cancer, or other types of reproductive effects and birth defects.

Water pollution is a big one for example, one of the biggest impacts humans have on aquatic systems is excess nutrient inputs. Nutrients, like nitrogen and phosphorus, are essential to the health and survival of aquatic plants and animals. However, humans introduce large quantities of nutrients, primarily through overuse of fertilizers. Too many nutrients can rapidly reduce water quality by causing overgrowth of certain bacteria and algae that use the oxygen necessary for other species to survive. Even more problematic is that these nutrients can be transported downstream to other streams, rivers and bays. Therefore, nutrients can reduce water quality in places far removed from where they were first introduced.

5 things to think about for your next cover song

Stop me if you’ve heard this one…

“How does AC/DC (or insert some other legacy band) clear out the first 5 rows at their concert?”

Punchline: “When the band announces, ‘Here’s a new song off our latest record!’”

It’s a lousy joke, but it reminds one of a very important rule in the music business: Your average music fan wants to hear songs they already know and love. People like familiarity. They want to hear music they know will move them. It’s an old concept, of course, but it applies to even the most successful artists in the world.

And it’s one reason that many bands, whether you’ve released one album or twenty, choose to add a cover song to their repertoire.

When you do a cover song, your fans will automatically by default compare your version to the original. Not to get too dramatic, but you’re forever tying your legacy to someone else’s artistic work. You’ll want to get it right. Before jumping into your next cover song, consider these 5 things.

1. Don’t Go Too Obscure

For the unsigned artist, one big reason for performing a cover song is to pump up your audience with a song they know. While you’re doing that, you’re also displaying your artistic talents by giving the song your own unique bent. But if the original is a song few people have heard before, you’ve lost the opportunity. Of course, there are plenty of examples where covering an obscure song results in a big hit, but this strategy doesn’t work in a small club setting. Covering obscure songs usually works best for artists whose best talents lie in their vocal performances. They can take a previously unknown song and bring it to life with their voice alone.

more examples:

Natalie Inbrulio Torn (Ednaswap)

Sinead O’Connor Nothing Compares To You (Prince)

2. Don’t get Too Cute

I’m referring to reaching far outside your musical style for a cover song. This route is reserved for already-established artists that have blazed their own original trail. For example, Johnny Cash pulled it off beautifully when he covered Depeche Mode’s Personal Jesus and Nine Inch Nail’s Hurt. But that’s Johnny Cash. If you’re a new band, don’t try this strategy. Wait til you get a little bigger.

more examples:

Marilyn Manson Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) Eurythmics

Limp Bizkit Faith George Michael

3. Go with a Classic, or an Influencer

The main goal of performing a cover at your show is to convert new fans. Your cover song is one song of many, and you’ll probably perform it sometime in the middle of your show. Keep the vibe going with a cover song that everyone knows and has a similar feel to your originals. Your best bet is to cover an old classic, or a song by a band that’s influenced your music.The song will surely be recognized by the fans and you’ll heat up the room as more people get into your music.

more examples:

Jimi Hendrix All Along The Watchtower (Bob Dylan)

Nonpoint In The Air Tonight (Phil Collins)

Guns N’ Roses Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door (Bob Dylan)

4. Don’t Go to the Well Too Often

It’s always possible your cover song turns into a surprise hit with your fans. Be thankful and consider yourself lucky. Just don’t go back to the well too soon or too often. Your fans might decide you’re milking it, or worse, that you’re too lazy to write your own music. Guns N’ Roses had big success with cover songs, but then the magic wore off. Before they broke up, the last songs the band recorded were cover songs that bombed.

more examples:

Limp Bizkit Behind Blue Eyes (The Who)

Guns N’ Roses The Spaghetti Incident? (Various)

5. Nail It

Make no mistake, attempting to perform and record someone else’s work is a big risk. On the one hand, getting a cover song right can do some pretty crazy things for an artist’s career. There are countless examples of artists recording cover songs more famous than than the original. On the other, getting it wrong can be downright embarrassing. Before you record your next cover, perform it live to gauge your fans reaction. Again, the goal with doing a cover song should be to attract new fans with some familiarity and fun at your live performances. And if you really nail it, you’ll show your old fans an artistic range they never knew you had.

more examples:

Alicia Keys feat. Adam Levine Wild Horses (Rolling Stones)

Destiny’s Child Emotions (BeeGees/Samantha Sang)

The Weeknd Dirty Diana (Michael Jackson)

Manfred Mann Blinded By The Light (Bruce Springsteen)

Hey, what about Licensing and Royalties?

There’s plenty of straight-forward articles already written on this topic, so I won’t re-invent the wheel here. Suffice to say, if you’re planning to record and distribute the song, you should secure the proper mechanical license — and CD Baby makes it super easy. We’ll help you license and distribute your cover song single, all from the same account.

Hey, what about Licensing and Royalties?

There’s plenty of straight-forward articles already written on this topic, so I won’t re-invent the wheel here. Suffice to say, if you’re only performing the cover song at venues, you don’t need any license. If you record a cover and submit to radio stations, again, you’ve got nothing to worry about. It’s when you record and try selling your cover song that you’ll have some paperwork to fill out.

If you’re not big on paperwork, don’t worry too much. I’ll probably catch some flak for saying this, but you can probably get away with asking for forgiveness in lieu of permission. In the event your cover song becomes a hit, the original songwriter will come after, and get, any and all royalties due. As long as you know this going in, you won’t be disappointed. Nor will you make plans to spend money that was never yours to begin with. The songwriter will be happy - trust me - that’s why many songwriters write songs. When other artists turn those songs into hits, they get paid. No real harm or foul.

But, since I know you’re the type of artist who likes to have all music rights in order, save yourself the headache and use a digital distributor. They’ll take of all your paperwork, permissions and licenses and you’ll never worry about a thing with a cover song.

Here are More Covers to check out....good luck!
