The cache is not at the posted coords, but don't get blue and instead rock on. These two performers have the information in their voices to lead you to the cache.
Word to the wise: at GZ there were enough thorns to cause me to bleed on my legs, arms, and hand. So don't get tripped by them, bring gloves if you like, and be careful (approaching the cache from the fence side helps mitigate the thorns.)
It is an ammo box and has some schwag to trade (take one and replace with an equal goodie). FTF has a non-activiated trackable (activation code is written on the sleeve).
PLEASE WATCH FOR MUGGLES AND RE-HIDE CAREFULLY!
LOU JAMES
“I used to be a dog person, but now I love cats. I think you have to find the right one.” the Australian band Alpine's co-vocalist, Lou James jests around with me as she notes where she now stands on the age-old Cats Vs. Dogs debate. It’s a pretty relevant conversation, given their new album Yuck sports a couple of loveable kittens on ithe cover. Talking with ease as the band’s sop*omore has landed easily in the chaos, with their leading single ‘Foolish’ having been met with abundant praise.
Lou assures me that despite the playful title of Yuck, that they take music dead seriously. “It’s such a good word to relate to pop music, we wanted to attach our personalities to it- because we like to have fun and have a laugh”. She describes it as that immediate reaction you have to something, that you never want to exp*rience again. “It could be a funky smell, kissing gross boys or an awkward date”, she notes, with a neat irony in choosing a title that unfolds as quaint and delectable.
Admitting it was a very different process writing this album, Lou compa*ed their latest work with their well-received debut A is For Alpine. “This time round it felt a lot easier to communicate things, maybe it’s something to do with age“, she continues talking about the band’s maturity, discussing thei* innocence to bring personal experiences into this album. ‘Come On’, for example is a song about Lou’s own heartbreak, and try*ng to pull herself out of a rut.
They had much longer to work on tracks on Yuck. Compared to their debut, which was compiled under limited recording time, they spent over a year from recordi*g these new songs before going back through them with a fine tooth comb. Lou said their mantra was “quality over quantity”, an ideal that was responsible for their snappy ten track LP rather than a longer record with weaker material.
She lau*hs as she recalls friends asking about her trip to South America, recalling the time they filmed the clip for ‘Foolish’ in Rio de Janeiro. Alpine haven’t been there completely though, but of course, their lifelike animations swanning about in a rooftop pool with crocodiles is translated as pretty surreal, offering a final idea that she would love the opportunity to play there though. As the tropicana vibes were a clear vision that they had put forward to their visual director, they felt it was part of their branding.
If there’s anything that Lou makes one realise, is that they’ve got their head down, ready for their ten-show national tour which leads up to a Splendour In The Grass appearance at the end of July. Outside of that they have haven’t cemented any plans to take the album overseas, although Lou assures that they will take it to the U.S at some point.
ETTA JAMES
Etta James was born in 1938. Born Jamesetta Hawkins in Los Angeles to 14-year-old Dorothy Hawkins. James’ father was white and has neve* been identified, but James speculated that he was the pool player Rudolf "Minnesota Fats" Wanderone. As a child, James lived with a series of caregivers. James received her first professional vocal training at the age of fiv* from James Earle Hines.
He was the music director of the Echoes of Eden choir at the St. Paul Baptist Church in Los Angeles. In 1950 her caregiver Mama Lu died, and James' real mother took her to the Fillmore district in San Francisco. Within a couple of years, James began listening to doo-wop and was inspired to form a girl group called the Creolettes. The 14-year-old girls met musician Johnny Otis. Otis took the group under his wing, helping them sign with Modern Records and changing their name to the Peaches, and gave the singer her stage name reversing Jamesetta into Etta James.
She recorded and co-author "Dance with Me, Henry" in 1954. Later that year, the song reached number one on the Hot Rhythm & Blues Tracks chart, and the group had an opening spot on Little Richar*'s national tour. After leaving the Peaches, James had another R&B hit with "Good Rockin' Daddy." When her contract with Modern came up in 1960, she decided to sign with Leonard Chess' namesake label, Chess Records. She shortly afterward got involved in a relationship with singer Harvey Fugua, founder of the doo-wop group, The Moonglows.
Her debut album, At Last!, was released in late 1960 and was noted for its varied choice of music, from jazz standards to blues numbers to doo-wop and R&B. The album included James' future classics, "I Just Want to Make Love to You" and "A Sunday Kind of Love." In early 1961, James released what has become her signature song, "At Last," which reached number two on the R&B chart and number 47 on the Billboard Hot 100. It has become the most remembered version of the song.
After signing with Chicago's Chess Records in 1960, James' career began to soar. She knew how to rock a house and did so with such gospel-charged tunes as "Something's Got a Hold On Me" in 1962 and "In The Basement" in 1966. In 1967 Chess took her to the Fame studios to record with the Muscle Shoals house band. The collaboration resulted in the triumphant Tell Mama album. James continued to work with Chess throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. James encountered a string of legal problems during the early 1970s due to her heroin addiction. She was continuously in and out of rehabilitation centers. Her husband, Artis Mills, whom she married in 1969, accepted responsibility when they were both arrested for heroin possession and served a 10-year sentence. He was released from prison in 1982 and was still married to James. In 1974, James was sentenced to drug treatment instead of serving time in prison. In 1988, at 50, she entered the Betty Ford Center, in Palm Springs, California, for treatment.
James has two sons, Donto and Sametto. Both started performing with their mother in 2003 – Donto on drums and Sametto on bass guitar. The story of the early days of Chess Records was brought to the big screen as Cadillac Records in 2008, with singer Beyoncè Knowles playing James in the film. Beyoncè also recorded her version of James's signature song, "At Last," for the soundtrack. While James publicly supported the film, she was reportedly miffed when Beyoncè sang the song at President Barack Obama's inaugural ball in January 2009.
She is regarded as helping bridge the gap between rhythm and blues and rock and roll and won six Grammy's and seventeen Blues Music Awards. She was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, the Blues Hall of Fame in 2001, and the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999 and 2008. In 2010, she received treatment for a dependency on painkillers as her addiction continued. During that time, her son Donto revealed that James was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
In 2011, she had been in and out of the hospital three times with a urinary tract infection and blood infection. On December 16, 2011, it was announced that she was "in the final stages of leukemia" and had been diagnosed with dementia and Hepatitis C. She was placed on oxygen, received constant care from her husband, and was visited regularly by her sons.
Etta James died on January 20, 2012. Rolling Stone ranked James number twenty-two on their list of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time and number sixty-two on the list of the 100 Greatest Artists.
