The Judybats

The Judybats (sometimes stylized as merely Judybats or JudyBats) were an American alternative rock band from Knoxville, Tennessee, United States, active primarily in the late 1980s and early to mid 1990s. The band released three successful singles that charted on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart: "Native Son", "Saturday" and "Being Simple", the latter of which peaked at No. 7.

Background
The band was formed in 1988 in Knoxville, Tennessee. Frontman Jeff Heiskell and guitarist Ed Winters were neighbors and had been composing folk songs together. The duo later met bassist Tim Stutz at a local bar called Hawkeye's Corner. Stutz, guitarist Johnny Sughrue and drummer Terry Casper had known each other since high school and had been playing music together as a trio. Peggy Hambright, who was Stutz's and Sughrue's roommate at the time, joined the band, contributing keyboards, violin and vocals. The Judybats played locally to large audiences before signing to Sire Records in 1990. The band took their name from a song written by a friend of theirs, which contained the line, "punch me with a judybat", a punning allusion to Punch and Judy shows. The official form of the band's name was never entirely clear; although the band was credited as "The Judybats" on the cover of their 1991 debut album, Native Son, all of their subsequent albums listed the band's name as just "Judybats" or sometimes "JudyBats", although several CD singles from the later albums retained the word "The".

Sire Records era
The Judybats' first major release was a cover of the 13th Floor Elevators' "She Lives (In a Time of Her Own)", which appeared on Sire's Roky Erickson tribute album, Where the Pyramid Meets the Eye, in 1990. The song also appeared on the band's debut album, Native Son, released the following year. The album's titular track was issued as a single and peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. On May 9, 1991, the band opened for alternative rock act John Wesley Harding—who were joined by R.E.M.'s Peter Buck on guitar—at the Georgia Theatre in Athens, Georgia.

Casper subsequently left the band and was temporarily replaced by session drummer Kevin Jarvis on their second album, Down in the Shacks Where the Satellite Dishes Grow, in 1992. This album spawned the hit "Saturday", which reached No. 21 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Following that album, Hambright and Stutz both left the band and were replaced by Paul Noe on bass and David Jenkins on drums. The revised lineup released the band's most commercially successful album, Pain Makes You Beautiful, in 1993, and had successful singles on college radio and adult album alternative stations, including "Being Simple", "All Day Afternoon" and "Incredible Bittersweet". "Being Simple" was the band's most successful single, rising to No. 7 on Modern Rock Tracks.

The lineup remained stable for the band's fourth album, 1994's Full-Empty. Heiskell had intended for the album to be produced by Mitchell Froom and even sent him a demo tape of new songs, but was told by the Judybats' manager that attempts to reach Froom had been fruitless. Instead, the band opted to work with producer Paul Mahern, both because "he was cheap" and "was also supposed to have some kind of indie cachet at that time." While recording Full-Empty, Heiskell eventually received a phone call from Froom, who said he liked the songs and expressed interest in working with the band, only to be told they were already working with Mahern.

The band promoted the album by appearing on Late Night With Conan O'Brien on October 4, 1994, performing "Sorry Counts". In an interview with The Advocate the following month, Heiskell acknowledged that he was gay, but otherwise rarely discussed his sexuality with the press, choosing to write about it only indirectly in his songs until his solo career. Looking back in 2023, Heiskell said, "It wasn't talked about in the open all that much back then, but more nuanced. Even so, some people expected me to come out and shout 'I'm A Gay Man!' to sell records. ... I wasn't willing to do that." Full-Empty fared poorly on the charts and the band broke up soon afterward.

In a 2008 interview with Popdose, Heiskell claimed that his dissolution of the band was attributable to several factors, with the last tour being "a nightmare of panic attacks and depression." Heiskell had been writing a screenplay about his experiences as a teenager that rendered him "an emotional wreck for nearly two years." Moreover, Heiskell alleged that band members Paul Noe and David Jenkins had attempted to convince him to break up the Judybats and form a new band with them. Heiskell explained, "By the time the tour ended I weighed 157 pounds – I'm nearly six feet tall – and could scarcely go out during the day for fear of having a bout of serious anxiety." Additionally, Warner Bros. decided to cull their roster of artists, which saw the Judybats losing their contract. "The idea of running about playing shows for schmucks in an attempt to get signed again made me break out in a sweat just thinking about it. And I was convinced that my life had become nothing more than trying to write the next college radio jingle of the week."

Post-Sire era
Heiskell, Noe and Jenkins, along with guitarist Reed Pendleton, pursued a new musical direction under the name Doubters Club, an informal reconfiguration of the Judybats. They released the album Fleur de Lisa independently in 1996, after being dropped from a development deal with Sire. Heiskell later claimed that, following the release of the album, "Dave and Paul moved off to Nashville, hiding from me the fact that they had started another band on the side, taking all of the equipment with them."

After the Doubters Club dissolved, Heiskell seriously considered quitting the music industry, while Pendleton encouraged him to stay the course, with the pair eventually creating a string of new songs, including "Break My Heart", "Shine", "You're Too Much", "Full Forward Angel", "Always", "Love Will Out" and "California". Moving forward, Heiskell and Pendleton formed the band Shoho, Jeff's nickname for local "scenesters" that often attended the band's shows. The lineup consisted of Heiskell on vocals and Pendleton on guitar, joined by local bassist Rob Bell and a set of twin brothers: guitarist/fiddle player Doug Hairrell and drummer Mike Hairrell. Early band sessions were held in a remote log cabin south of Knoxville, where the new lineup developed a guitar-heavy sound with Britpop influences. Upon the insistence of new manager SuperFrank, the band settled on resurrecting the name Judybats for the project. This incarnation of the band issued one album, Judybats '00, in 2000, and released a cover of Paul McCartney's "Love in Song" for the 2001 McCartney tribute album Listen to What the Man Said. "Break My Heart" was also included in Oxford American's annual Southern Music issue.

In 2005, another configuration of Judybats performed at the Northalsted Market Days festival in Chicago.

In 2011, the Judybats '00 track "California" appeared on the compilation album Kat Vox: Celebrating 20 Years of Timmi-Kat Records.

Post-Judybats
In 1992, former keyboardist Peggy Hambright founded Magpies Bakery in Knoxville, Tennessee, and was the owner until 2018, when she passed the business on to her niece, Elizabeth.

Jeff Heiskell has since released five solo albums, under the name Heiskell: Soundtrack for an Aneurism (2007), Clip-On Nose Ring (2008), Arriving (2015), Emotional Terrorism (2017) and Songs in the Key of H (2019). Emotional Terrorism was accompanied by two videos, for the songs "Still Life With Broken Heart" and "I Want More Life". Conceived by Heiskell himself, both were guided by videographer Douglas Stuart McDaniel, with intern Tyler Juárez Dippel shooting the footage for "Still Life With Broken Heart". "I did not feel comfortable carrying on the Judybats name with my being the only member", Heiskell explained in 2008. "I didn't really feel that comfortable with it when the '00 record was released, either. A millionaire control freak backed that project financially, so I felt that I had to follow his lead. I follow no one's lead now."

In the fall of 2015, former bassist Tim Stutz released music via Bandcamp, under the name Because of Robots (stylized as "because of robots").

In 2016, Heiskell performed several Judybats songs at Waynestock, a benefit concert for Girls Rock Camp Knoxville.

In 2019, Heiskell became a full-time real estate agent for Coldwell Banker Wallace & Wallace Realtors in Knoxville, Tennessee, while continuing to release original music under the name Heiskell.

In 2023, former guitarist Reed Pendleton's new band the Velvet Air released the single "Save Us", via Bandcamp.

TV/FM DX
I think this is quite a good article. I created it, but I didn't write too much of it. [[User:Andrevan|

 Andre ]] ( talk ) 20:52, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Object. 1) No references. Please, please read the criteria before nominating. 2) There is a near complete lack of wikification outside of a couple sections. 3) The second paragraph in the lead section is conjecture. That would need to be factually restated. 4) The prose is choppy in places, making it not flow well. Try elmininating one or two sentence paragraphs. - Taxman 21:08, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * There are references, they're just in-line references. Last I checked, that was ok. Sorry. Andre ( talk ) 22:20, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * For those who are counting, I saw 24 in-line references. I don't think that's horrible by any means, and don't bite people, Taxman. Mike H 23:42, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Well I apologize my comment was overly curt, in hindsight, and given my error, it was. Hmmm and I even checked for references in the wikisource. I guess I am spoiled by people that use Footnote3 and Template_Talk:Inote, and I searched for those. Ideally the external links would use one of those methods or similar to collect all the inline links in a standard section at the bottom so they are easy to see. - Taxman 14:04, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * Apology accepted, no offense taken. At any rate, I've consolidated all the references on the bottom in a References section now, and I've attempted to address parts 2 and 3 of your objection. Could you be a bit more specific for #4? Andre ( talk ) 22:08, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * For 2, that is better, but there still seems to be many that can be done. I will do what I can. For 3, I tried to make it more direct. You could go even farther by simply saying that there is a hobby interest in the subject, and hobbyests find it interesting because... Ideally cite something from hobbyests that says or supports why. Which leads to the question, is this similar/related/or almost the same thing as ham radio as a hobby? Is it an oganized hobby thing, sporadic, etc. For 4, basically one or two sentence paragraphs are rarely complete ideas. If they are, they break up the flow of the text so much that the flow is very choppy, stopping and starting repeatedly. There's a lot of those in there. Try to build more narrative arc by merging or eliminating them. - Taxman 20:04, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. What is a featured article says that an article must have a "References" section, with inline citations as an enhancement. There is now a References section, but it has only one of the 25 references used, so I do not think it meets that critera. 119 18:47, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Addressed this. Andre ( talk ) 22:11, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)

 * Well I didn't start the article, but I wrote about 80% of the material, especially the technical details. Because I have written around 30 web articles on TV FM DX, based on 30 years of practical experience, I guess I am somewhat qualified. Bivariate-correlator May 1, 2005

Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, also known as Super Empire Strikes Back, is a 1993 action video game developed by LucasArts and Sculptured Software and published by JVC Musical Industries for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It is based on the 1980 film The Empire Strikes Back and is the sequel to Super Star Wars. The game was followed by a sequel, Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi in 1994. Unlike its predecessor, Nintendo wasn’t involved in its publishing. The game was re-released on the Wii's Virtual Console in North America on August 24, 2009 and in the PAL regions on October 2, 2009, alongside the other games in the Super Star Wars series.

Gameplay
Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back follows closely the standard set by its predecessor, with multiple playable characters and Mode 7 quasi-3D vehicle sequences. The controls are very similar to the first game, but feature a double-jump. Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Chewbacca return as playable characters although the character-select option was removed.

Unlike the original game, this installment allows each character the use of a primary and secondary weapon. Following one of the swamp planet Dagobah missions, Luke Skywalker can also collect Force Powers for use in later levels. Luke can now block incoming attacks using his lightsaber, allowing him to deflect blaster fire. Han Solo can now throw grenades and Chewbacca has a new power up: a spinning attack. Sith Lord Darth Vader appears as the final boss in the video game.

Development
An "asteroid chase" stage using Mode 7 effects was cut from the game due to lack of cartridge space. In late 1992 a contest was launched exclusively in Electronic Gaming Monthly, which required the contestants to answer six multi-choice questions, and for which the "Grand Prize" was to have the person's likeness appear in this forthcoming game. The winner was Jeff Crosno, for whom the developers placed his appearance on a Rebel soldier in an Ice Fields of Hoth cut-scene, replacing the already existing facial graphics.

Cast

 * Clint Bajakian as Darth Vader (voice)
 * Peter McConnell as Yoda (voice)

Release
In 1996 THQ announced that they would re-release Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi in February 1997 in order to coincide with the "Special Edition" of those films appearing in theaters. The re-release is identical to the original version.

Reception
In the United Kingdom, it was the top-selling SNES game in February 1994.

The game was met with positive reviews. IGN gave the game a 7.5/10 rating, praising the games enhanced Mode 7 graphics. Electronic Gaming Monthly gave The Empire Strikes Back positive reviews, noting the game's graphics and sound; the reviewers praised the gameplay following the theme of the source material and having excellent cinematic displays, although there was criticism on the controls, hard difficulty and the large number of enemies that appear on screen. AllGame gave a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars, praising the game's soundtrack, voice effects, graphics and action scenarios for being faithful to the film and giving praise to the password feature making the game less frustrating, and giving criticism to the game's blind jumps and cheap hits from enemies off screen concluding "but this doesn't spoil the overall greatness of the game." Super Gamer magazine gave the game a review score of 85% stating "Super Star Wars is reworked with new graphics. A bigger, harder and marginally, better game. The Mode 7 AT-AT attack is absolutely stunning." Power Unlimited gave a review score of 92% and noted the game is identical to its predecessor and citing the challenging difficulty and fun gameplay.

Nintendo Power staff rated the game as the fourth best SNES game of 1993. GamePro named it the best SNES game of 1993. IGN placed the game 91st in their Top 100 SNES Games of All Time. In 2018, Complex ranked the game #20 on their "The Best Super Nintendo Games of All Time." They praised the game as the best Star Wars game on the Super NES although they felt the game was the most difficult of the three games.

Talk:Panic of 1819

Austrian school first?
Why should the Austrian school's view be the first view? They're far from being mainstream economics. 69.138.26.136 03:43, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Considering that the main work on this subject, as acknowledged by all economic historians, is by Rothbard, a member of the austrian school, it makes quite a bit of sense to give their views prominence. When (If) you find another monography on the subject written by a Keynesian....maybe then you can complain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.199.122.25 (talk) 14:15, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

 * "Austrian" economists explanations are not covered in economics textbooks, ergo they are not notable for every article in Wikipedia on economics. 69.138.26.136 03:46, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not "economics textbooks", ergo Austrian economists' explanations are very notable indeed for every article in Wikipedia on economics. Economics is not a religion, ergo we can't rely on the Holy Bible or the Qur'an. We can find the Truth, not by revelation but only by using our reason to analyze and compare different views. If the logic of the mainstream economics really is solid, its proponents shouldn't be worried about the fact that their view is introduced after the illogical nonsense. Actually, the "critics" section always succeeds in making the earlier opinions even a bit doubtable. By the way, Austrian theory is, far from being nonsense, logical and capable of explaining and predicting economic phenomena. Mainstream is not a synonym for unequivocal, nor for correct. (80.186.34.230 14:32, 2 September 2007 (UTC))
 * While that is true to an extent, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia; we represent the general consensus, rather than trying to challenge it. In an encyclopedia, marginal viewpoints cannot be given equal footing with those that are more established in the field. There are indeed appropriate places to challenge the economic consensus, but Wikipedia is not one of them. --Aquillion 07:39, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Although you're not satisfied with the equal footing, please, don't liquidate the other candidates. The problem isn't the "marginal viewpoint" having too firm a footing but the mainstream viewpoint having one that is too fragile. It seems like a history lesson is most necessary. The Austrian Theory of the Business Cycle originated in the work of Ludwig von Mises and was developed by Friedrich von Hayek. The latter happened to share the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1974 with Gunnar Myrdal "for their pioneering work in the theory of money and economic fluctuations and for their penetrating analysis of the interdependence of economic, social and institutional phenomena", i.e. among other things for the very theory you're calling "marginal viewpoint". What kind of encyclopaedia is not an appropriate place to represent the theories being awarded the Nobel Prize? 80.186.34.230 11:40, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Again, you are making the wrong arguments. Your opinions on the relative fragility of the viewpoints in question means exactly bunk.  Likewise, the fact that Ludwig von Mises won a Nobel Prize in Economics is an excellent reason to have an article on Mises, or specific articles devoted to his theories, but it is an exceptionally poor one to try and argue that his views should be given any prominence on articles outside of those.  There is only one thing that matters to even the slightest degree in terms of which economic theories should be covered where in Wikipedia, and that is the broad consensus of the economic community; in that regard, the Austrian school is generally considered marginal today, and its theories and speculations cannot be given equal footing with more commonly-accepted mainstream explanations. --Aquillion 07:55, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

 * I was immediately struck by the fact that the Austrian explanation was propounded first and true to my expectations here in the talk page the issue is being discussed. Conforming to their typical modus operandi it appears the Austrians are coming out on top by shouting the loudest.  But it just ain’t right.Tcolgan001 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 19:19, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

This kind of scuffles disgust me. There is no consensus in economy. It's not a kind of science where any kind of consensus like in physics, chemistry, biology or mathematics, could arise. But of course some people can't get over their own "Jihad". Present the facts or go kill yourself. E7th04sh (talk) 10:57, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Page cleanup

 * Removed apparent vandalism 'comment' from talk page; also removed an external link from the main page that would not function and was probably vandalism. -- RayBirks 16:26, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't know much about the history of US economics, but it seems that this page needs much more description of what actually happened, so that theories about why it happened and what should have been done will make sense. AlexTiefling 12:00, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Closure of Second Bank of the United States
The article says: "Clyde Haulman, Professor of Economics at the College of William and Mary,[5] argue that the Panic was partly caused by a decision to close the Second Bank of the US."

The bank was not closed in 1819. The charter expired in 1836, after which the bank continued as a private bank, and it went bankrupt in 1841. So the "closure" (non-renewal of charter) could not have been a cause of the Panic of 1819. Cromulant (talk) 13:46, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Dont' "Panic" - just a rewrite
Improved lede to provide overview on economic and social impacts; eliminates superfluous discussion of 18th C. downturns. 36hourblock (talk) 18:41, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

History as simple as "1-2-3" - a primer
The “factors” described in the “Causes” section are said to have occurred during the War of 1812 (1812 – 1815). Is this what the editors meant to say?

“ 1.” - That US manufacturing increased during the Napoleonic Wars, including the War of 1812, is supported by Dangerfield (see sources in main article) – but why did this, of itself, lead to the “onset” of a financial crisis?

“2.” - Dangerfield agrees that government borrowing occurred during the War of 1812. But no mention is made in this edit that the government effort to “secure loans” was due to the fact that the Bank of the United States (BUS) no longer existed – it lost its charter in 1811, just before the war began. This also helps to explain the breathtaking proliferation of private (state-chartered) banking, as noted. The key conclusion that Dangerfield provides is not mentioned here, namely, that the drop in species led to a massive issue of unregulated bank note issue and an inflationary bubble – and the call for the revival of the BUS to control inflation. This development played a role in the onset of the Panic of 1819. (See Dangerfield)

“3.” – According to the editors, the US is said to have experienced inflation of commodity prices during the period 1812 – 1815, and “contributed to the onset” of the financial crisis. How did inflation during the war, in itself, lead to the Panic? What impact did the doubling in value of raw cotton during the war of 1812 have on the downturn in 1818 and 1819?

At the end of war, the editors write “the United States was free to start international trade again, especially with Great Britain, the nation’s biggest trading partner.”  What manufacturing markets existed in Great Britain when its warehouse were overflowing with their own manufactured goods? The Continental European market for manufactured goods had utterly collapsed – it could not afford these goods after the war. Even the trade with the West Indies was totally dominated by British shippers in the aftermath of the war (See Dangerfield).

The only significant European markets were agricultural ones – no mention is made of them in the rewrite. This would qualify as an “factor” because it provoked a land boom in West and South United States, and a vast increase in the issue of easy credit to purchase the cheap public lands. Here we have a central theme to begin to explain the “factors” that led to the Panic of 1819, according to Dangerfield.

History as simple as “1-2-3”? Not likely.

36hourblock (talk) 20:58, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

 * I removed the following material from the article, source provided an an author named Wright:

 * "Under the mismanagement and failed leadership of the Bank’s first President, William Jones, the Second Bank “proceeded to run the economy into the ground by first extending far too much credit, then quickly restricting it. A financial panic ensued, followed by a steep recession that saw interest rates spike, farm produce prices plummet, and unemployment soar."

 * My sources (see article) do not consider William Jones in a position to "run the [United States] economy into the ground." In fact, according to Dangerfield "the Bank [under Jones] may even be considered, charatibly, as the victim of a private banking 'system'". (Source: Dangerfield, 1965, p. 87, see references in article).
 * I deleted this material, and provided a broader view based on my sources. 36hourblock (talk) 21:22, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

The effect of the Tambora eruption on the global economy prior to the Panic
In the section entitled "Post-war European readjustments and the American economy: 1815 - 1818", please consider the following two statements:

"...European agriculture production, exhausted by years of warfare, was unable to feed its own population."

...and...

"Continental Europe, its agrarian output crippled by the recent war, offered new markets for American staple crops, particularly cotton, wheat, corn and tobacco."

My question here is: how much of that lowered agricultural production was the result of the war and how much was attributable to the eruption of the Indonesian volcano Tambora, that then resulted in the so-called 'Year Without a Summer'?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_a_Summer

It seems to me that the devastation from war would need to be severe indeed if it devastated enough farmland to affect the prices of agricultural commodities to this extent.
