	Doldrums and Suffrage Movement Discussion (March 1997)
		The "doldrums" is an old term (at least going back to the colonial period in the U.S.) that refers to an area in the Atlantic where the winds were inconsistent and often caught sailing ships which then drifted for weeks before escaping the area.
		Graham Hunter argues that the period from 1896-1910 may not be seen as the "doldrums," but rather as a period of "careful and successful rebuilding, in which the leaders of the NAWSA deliberately reshaped the image of their movement.
		Instead of viewing this period as "the doldrums," Graham Hunter seems to be making an argument common to many social movements--that suffragists needed to turn inward in order to redefine their mission, and only after they did so could they return to a more active public engagement.

		The doldrums is the low-pressure area around the equator where the prevailing winds are calm.
		The low pressure is caused by the heat at the equator, which makes the air rise and travel north and south high in the atmosphere, until it subsides again in the horse latitudes.
		Some of that air returns to the doldrums through the trade winds.

	doldrums -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		The rising air produces high cloudiness, frequent thunderstorms, and heavy rainfall; the doldrums, oceanic regions of calm surface air, occur within the zone.
		Into the doldrums that many believe the music industry suffered in the 1970s, the punk movement injected new life.
		When Europe at last began to emerge from the doldrums, it was in great measure due to the efforts of Muslims, who had collected and translated into Arabic many of the ancient Greek philosophical and scientific works.

	The Mavens' Word of the Day
		The word doldrums, which is almost always found in the plural, has several closely related senses.
		The next sense is from 1824 or 1855, depending on your viewpoint: 'a becalmed state at sea; (spefic., often cap.) an area of the ocean just north of the equator characterized by calms and light shifting winds'.
		The origin of doldrum is not exactly clear, but the first element is related to dull 'stupid'.

		The doldrums are not stationary; they vary all over the map in these general locales primarily between three and 10 degrees north latitude, and they are not the same from one year to the next.
		In the doldrums, the humidity and temperatures are usually high and stay uniform throughout the year.
		Within the doldrums, where strong constant winds are absent, the higher western sea levels flow downward to the east.

		Doldrums takes the forward motion of space jam bands like Magnog and favors more monolithic textures to the lead-guitar like colorations of the former.
		Such proficiency is mocked by Kellum himself on the VHF Records website (Which he runs, he's possibly the funniest man in 90's indie rock), but I'd say if he wasn't proud of it, he could just as easily not put it on the record.
		Solo spots aside, the Doldrums get a good drone on as well, a couple of pieces reminding me of some of the darker material on Stars of the Lid's Ballasted Orchestra album.

	Doldrums: Feng Shui: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Like most bands that dabble in such explicitly uncommercial mind fuckery, the Doldrums owe a heavy debt to old school space cadets like Popul Vuh and Syd Barrett, but manage to sneak in refined elements for the more discriminate modern music listener.
		My best guess is that the Doldrums' look represents an amalgam of relaxed, flowery textures along with more severe, form fitting attire.
		When the Doldrums choose to behave like psychadelic rockers, they pull out all the tricks of the trade-- long, drawn out soloing, repetitive tribal- sounding percussive elements, and the occasionally incomprehensible tone- heavy singing means tie- dye on the head, sandals on the feet and the most flowery cufflinks money can buy.

		Doldrums' music is psychedelic and is sound enough to withstand all the cheap cracks about beads and flowers in the barrels of police rifles.
		And the Doldrum's expert use of computer editing is one of the ways in which the band seems to elude the retro tag; we don't need the illusion of an improv jam session and drum circle to hear the exploratory fascination the players seem to have with their own music.
		The last song is revved up guitar rock at its most unabashed and, like great acid- rock album closers of the past, "Godspeed" rings with triumph, as if sloppy whirring guitar rock had just been discovered by the Doldrums themselves on accident.

	Southern Baptists in ‘doldrums,’ leader says - U.S. News - MSNBC.com
		The Southern Baptist Convention, the nation’s biggest Protestant denomination and the largest gathering of evangelical Christians in the world, is in the “doldrums” and faces a challenge to determine whether it is on the right path, its leader said Thursday.
		The convention’s president, the Rev. Bobby Welch of First Baptist Church in Daytona Beach, Fla., also said that a resolution decrying immorality in American public schools was likely to be debated at next week’s annual gathering in Nashville, Tenn., but that it would be wrong for Southern Baptists to withdraw their children from public classrooms.
		He was elected last year partly on a pledge to seek 1 million new baptisms, even though the convention has never baptized even half that many people in a year.

		After the brief tune-up "Office Scene," things get nicely, thoroughly frazzled with "Sparkling Deadheadz." Doldrums' is a politer kind of chaos, with the drums quick but not, say, Boredoms-level, the addition of what sounds like everything from bagpipes to out of nowhere electronic blips accentuating the steady drone underpinning it all instead of overwhelming it.
		The quicker flow of the album, with its slightly more fragmented feel, still has all the evocative atmosphere of the group's other work, with varying explorations of the drone principle and ambient sonics-via-guitars the key to everything.
		It feels very much like Doldrums decided to create a gentle song to sear a steak by on a late, lazy summer afternoon, with a soft, swinging rhythm and amiable guitar noodling here and there, along with some relaxed (and as always for the band rare) singing.

		Hadley realized that the rotation of the earth would cause the surface wind blowing toward the equator to veer towards the west, thus producing the system of trades familiar to the mariners of his day.
		This picture is quite realistic as concerns the trades and the doldrums.
		It had to be modified considerably, however, to account for the other global wind belts, notably the westerlies.

		Originally a handmade CD-R release a couple years back, "The Doldrums" by Ariel Pink’s Haunted Grafitti was discovered by the Animal Collective during one of their west coast tours and became an immediate favorite.
		Recording at home with only a guitar, keyboard, and 8-track (the drum sounds are all unbelievably created with his vocals), Ariel Pink blends Lite FM and warped lo-fi pop into something beautiful and confusing, yet highly addictive.
		The best moments on The Doldrums are however those songs wich sound like four radio stations being switched back and forth.

		There are some listeners who just plain don't comprehend what he is doing, but the small cult following Pink acquired in the late '90s and early 2000s tends to be highly enthusiastic; Pink's admirers really swear by him and insist that there is a method to his madness.
		Pink recorded his first Haunted Graffiti project, The Doldrums, in 1999 and 2000; that disc was followed by Vital Pink a few years later.
		In October 2004, The Doldrums was reissued by Paw Tracks and enjoyed much better distribution; Paw Tracks' version of The Doldrums spans 1999-2003 and also contains the material from Vital Pink.
