Blurt

Blurt is an English post-punk band, founded in 1979 in Stroud, Gloucestershire.

Background

Blurt was founded in 1979 in Stroud, Gloucestershire by poet, saxophonist and puppeteer Ted Milton along with Milton's brother Jake, formerly of psychedelic group Quintessence, on drums and Peter Creese on guitar. After three albums Creese left the band to be replaced by Herman Martin on synthesizers who, after a year of constant touring left the band, and was replaced by Steve Eagles, former member of Satan's Rats, The Photos and Bang Bang Machine.

Shortly thereafter Jake Milton left to be replaced by Nic Murcott, who left shortly thereafter and was subsequently replaced by Paul Wigens. Eagles was replaced by Chris Vine as guitarist from 1990 to 1994, and returned to the band following Vine's departure. Wigens was briefly replaced by Charles Hayward between May and October 2001 before returning to the band, before departing the band for good in 2005. His replacement was Bob Leith, who stayed with the band until 2008, at which time he was replaced by the band's current drummer Dave Aylward.

Blurt (magazine)

Blurt is a music print magazine and online outlet originally based in Carrboro, NC. The magazine was originally known as Harp Magazine for over 10 years and was considered one of the best music magazines of the decade in the early 2000s. After Harp folded in 2008, Blurt was founded by Harp owner Scott Crawford and based in Silver Spring, MD. Some of the main writers and editors for Harp are also with Blurt, including chief editor, Fred Mills.

Blurt's tag line is "Real Music, Real Artists, Real Opinions". Blurt is a highly respected outlet within the music industry and has often been sighted by critics and fans as the Mojo magazine of the United States. In early 2010, Blurt sold its assets to Second Motion Entertainment and the company moved to the label's home of Carrboro, NC. Second Motion Entertainment also owns the record label Second Motion Records who works with such artists as Australia's The Church, Bettie Serveert, Swervedriver and Tommy Keene.

Although Blurt is updated daily with new music features, news and information it is also a print magazine that is distributed internationally and as of 2012 had 11 issues. Previous covers have been devoted to artists such as: Sonic Youth, The Avett Brothers, PJ Harvey and Wilco. The magazine also hosts an annual day party in Austin at the SXSW Music Festival at the Gingerman Pub.

Dive (American football)

A "dive" (or "plunge" or "buck", also called a line plunge or line buck) is a type of play in American football in which the ball carrier (usually a fullback or a halfback) attempts to rush through one of the gaps in the offensive line. This hole can be either between center and guard or between guard and tackle. It may be run with or without a lead blocker, though when run with a lead blocker it may be called a "lead dive". It is often, though not always, used in short-yardage situations, specifically at the goal line. Fullbacks, or larger, stronger running backs less prone to fumbling, are favorable because this play values strength over speed. It is distinct from both an end run and an off-tackle run.
