SIX MONTHS AND SIXTY TRACKS EQUALS ONE DOUBLE ALBUM
 III/IV |
Ryan Adams & The
Cardinals have confirmed the December 14 release of the double length opus III/IV on
Adams’ own Pax Am label.
III/IV compiles a wealth of material from a planned two-week session at New York City’s Electric Lady that
ended up running some six months and yielding over 60 tracks. Some of these eventually found a home on 2007′s
classic Easy Tiger, while the vast majority either languished in the vaults, turned up on the internet or were
aired once or twice in a live setting.
The December 14 release of III/IV marks the first time that this double-album concept rock opera about the
’80s, ninjas, cigarettes, sex, and pizza will be officially released in its entirety, as originally conceived and featuring
the definitive versions of these nearly lost classic tunes.
III/IV will be available in extremely limited red and blue vinyl (including download code), limited CD, and
infinite digital versions. The complete track listing is as follows:
III:
Breakdown Into The Resolve
Dear Candy
Wasteland
Ultraviolet Light
Stop Playing With My Heart
Lovely And Blue
Happy Birthday
Kisses Start Wars
The Crystal Skull
Users
IV:
No
Numbers
Gracie
Icebreaker
Sewers at the Bottom of the Wishing Well

Bihar’s pro-business reforms: Paper tiger
November 4th, 2010 |

There is more talk about reform than action in India’s poorest state
IT IS surely no coincidence that Bihar, besides being India’s poorest state, has also been its least inviting for entrepreneurs. That is supposed to be changing. Nitish Kumar, Bihar’s chief minister, has spent his five years in office fixing the roads and other infrastructure. Crime has fallen, so the bright and wealthy are no longer frightened off by the threat of kidnapping, extortion and murder. Stability has allowed local trade to flourish. A state official reels off an impressive-sounding list of 398 approved investment proposals—from sugar mills to power plants—worth $4.8 billion. That all sounds rosy, until you look for success on the ground. India’s tycoons have visited, and left. There is not one example of a big industrial investment to show for it.
Perhaps local officials are failing to spot the brightest entrepreneurs—those deft enough to avoid the bureaucrats. Take the case of Husk Power Systems, formed in 2007 by three young Biharis and an American friend. It runs 50 micro power plants in rural areas fired by burning otherwise useless rice husks. Now employing more than 250 people, the firm sells cheap electricity to 200,000 rural folk, who previously relied on kerosene lamps or candles. …
