Released to little fanfare on a label previously known for experimental electronica, “Beautiful Seizure” is a serendipitous indie debut, even if few songs lend themselves to OC soundtracks and sobby mixtapes...
...orchestrates an instrumental climax before slowly fading out. The few missteps on “Kicking Television” stem mostly from poor song selection. “Wishful Thinking,” while inoffensively boring on “A Ghost is Born,” fails to lend itself to the kind of dynamic re-invention that makes the other tracks so exciting.

Yet long-standing criminal and civil charges place Badian at the center of a scheme to lend Arizona software developer Sedona much needed operating capital, then trigger the collapse of its stock and profit from the company's demise. This pattern is also alleged in the civil suit handed to Badian on Aug. 8 in his apartment in Austria--only this time the mark was pet-supplies company Pet Quarters, based in Lonoke...
