The Courier received a free review copy of Jaicko's single, and other promotional materials, as well.

In the brief biography attached with Jaicko’s debut single “Oh Yeah” that The Courier recently received the musician’s best self-description is that since his youth he has known his “hair would be a big part of [his] image”. This simple line is enough to gain an accurate sense of Jaicko’s entire personality and career. Rather than using his biography as a chance to explain his musical influences, strengths and unique qualities Jaicko focuses on the wrong thing—his hair.

On May 6, a bill was signed into law to allow same-sex marriage in Maine. Maine then became the fifth U.S. state to recognized same-sex marriage, and the second state after Vermont to do so through the legislative process instead of through a judicial ruling. This law would have taken effect on September 11, however it will now be vulnerable to a "people's veto" in the November elections in Maine.

From wikipedia:
Franklin Patrick Herbert, Jr. (October 8, 1920 – February 11, 1986) was a critically acclaimed and commercially successful American science fiction author. Although a short story author, he is best known for his novels, most notably Dune and its five sequels. The Dune saga, set in the distant future and taking place over millennia, deals with themes such as human survival and evolution, ecology, and the intersection of religion, politics and power. Dune itself is the "best-selling science fiction novel of all time," and the series is widely considered to be among the classics in the genre.
