Lightburn's advanced positions were two,--a brigade under Colonel Siber of the Thirty-seventh Ohio being at Raleigh C. and another under Colonel Gilbert of the Forty-fourth Ohio, near the Hawk's Nest, and at Alderson's on the Lewisburg road.
Lightburn's position had been made more embarrassing by the fact that a cavalry raid under Brigadier-General Jenkins was passing around his left flank while Loring came upon him in front.
Lightburn's mishap, therefore, was only the northern extremity of a line of defeats extending through the whole length of the Ohio valley from Parkersburg to Louisville.

 NOW : Music : Dears in the Spotlight : Jun 21 - 27, 2001
With a high-drama orch-pop sound unlike anything else in the country and a steamroller of a live show that leaves crowds dazed, it was natural that word on the Dears would spread.
Lightburn admits that the fellow Montrealers share their stylish pop vision -- "Their singer Torq and I are both tough ponces," Lightburn snorts -- but that could all change in the wake of this new EP.
What isn't on the EP is Today, Tonight, Tomorrow, Forever, the Dears' volatile set-closer, which ends with Lightburn shrieking on the floor after 10 minutes of hair-pulling drama.

Of course, The Dears are no strangers to the dark stuff themselves; you could even say they thrive on it, their entire canon connected by a metaphorical thread equating personal nervous breakdown with societal collapse.
It was a last-minute desperate measure that -- despite driving Lightburn to the point where he was "stripping it down again, talking to myself and pulling my hair out" -- eventually led to that elusive escape route to the next level.
Lightburn can at least rest assured that his own music is in good hands thanks to The Dears' new deal with MapleMusic, an exception among other high-profile Canadian labels in that it believes long-term artist development and commercial gain aren't mutually exclusive.

So says Murray Lightburn, leader and songwriter of the up-and-coming, description-defying Canadian band The Dears from the backseat of a tour van, as he takes a practice "Knowing Your Vehicle" test in the hopes of getting a learner's permit.
Lightburn sang most of the song through a megaphone, but the band slowly wound down from a grinding chorus to a stark ending, with the singers whispering the phrase "Revolution of fools" into their microphones as a lone siren blared and Yanchak repeated two quiet notes on her keyboard over and over.
One of Lightburn¹s most insightful comments about The Dears music comes when asked about his use of the Melodica, an increasingly trendy instrument in indie rock which is a sort of harmonica with keys.

Robert C. Lightburn ("husband") appeals the trial court's awards of equitable distribution, spousal support, and attorney fees in his divorce from Sheila Jones Lightburn ("wife").
We disagree with husband that the trial court's consideration of the duration of the marriage was inappropriate or that it considered at all the "emotional difficulties" encountered by wife as a result of her successive relocations.
In light of this directive and the evidence in the record regarding the financial ramifications of wife's departure from and then return to the Blacksburg area, we cannot say that the trial court's consideration of the duration of the marriage was erroneous.

 The Dears + Benzos - PopMatters Concert Review
Lightburn's theatrical, sweeping vocals recall Morrissey (who the band opened for in the past), but so-so solo Morrissey rather than the Moz who fronted the heavenly Smiths.
Lightburn's carefully chosen band turns even the most lukewarm tracks on No Cities into crowd pleasing rock anthems, much in the same way that fellow Quebecers The Arcade Fire make up for a subdued album with a hyperactive live performance.
Lightburn also lets himself go, straying from the laconic tone he affects in the studio instead championing a unique voice with surprising range.

Whether Lightburn is still too close to the album’s maddening, yearlong genesis or simply inclined to deflect compliments, he won’t accept praise easily.
Lightburn isn’t implying intervention of a divine nature, however.
Although the album’s acute timeliness is somewhat accidental ("It’s hardly The Rising," Lightburn quips about Springsteen’s latest), the singer believes that its intended, much more ambiguous messages are well worth hearing–so much so that it would be a betrayal to limit them to the insular cult of indie kids that dominates the band’s audience.

 Exclaim! Canada's Music Authority
After the lengthy major label courtship that Lightburn claims “ate away at the Dears like a cancer,” the band happily went home with Maple Music, a company willing to take on a less than radio-ready act, with all their quirks and experimental leanings.
Although both Lightburn and Yanchak have essentially lived off the fat of the band for the past couple of years, they understand that freelance life doesn’t suit everyone.
Still in self-deprecation mode, Lightburn dismisses the aspirations to fame he held when he founded the Dears in 1995, aspirations dulled by years of swimming with sharks — be they music execs, promoters, press or egomaniacs in other bands.

So Lightburn would rather talk about a nasty dis the Dears just received from a New Zealand critic, who said they sounded exactly like the Smiths, an '80s band Lightburn admittedly loves but is hardly out to clone.
The result is a sonic canvas that is different for each song and has led to the band's being labeled everything from ''space rock" to ''romantic goth-pop." Guest violinists and horn players further contribute to the dreamy, but never labored, sound.
Lightburn has been in different versions of the Dears for the past 10 years, but the group is now starting to break through, propelled by new attention on the Montreal scene, which includes such acts as the Arcade Fire, the Stills, and the Stars.
