AIR - 10 000 Hz Legend (2001)

10 000 Hz Legend é um osso duro de roer, mas saboroso até ao tutano, sobretudo se conseguirmos abrir o nosso paladar auditivo aos seus sabores sonoros menos expectáveis, tendo em conta o marco que foi Moon Safari.

10 000 Hz Legend é um osso duro de roer, mas saboroso até ao tutano, sobretudo se conseguirmos abrir o nosso paladar auditivo aos seus sabores sonoros menos expectáveis, tendo em conta o marco que foi Moon Safari. O que fazer, depois de um estrondoso sucesso? Ou seja, como sair artisticamente de forma digna, depois do perfeito álbum que foi Moon Safari? Talvez tenha sido esta a pergunta que…

What happened at world's??? I'm not up to date 😭

LMAOOO WHAT DIDN'T????

Ok brief summary of every disciplinne which will end up long so

MEN:

Boyang messed up so much in the SP he didn't even get to the free. To quote his coach Brian "I don't even know what that was." My boy obviously thinks that the men need to flop in every city starting with M... Milano 2018, Montreal 2024.... let's hope he keeps that mindset for worlds and olympics because they are also in Milano

Junhwan also flopped in the SP, but not as much thank skating gods! He did better in the fs but I really didn't get anything from his programs this season anyways so I wasn't as devastated as I would be let's say with any prev season's fuck up

Kao also flopped SP missing the combo because of the 4T attempt. Absolutely magnificent opening 4S, best of the SP event! He attacked some titans in the FS but got eaten immediately by 4Lo and 4S

Shoma finally listened to me telepathically and flopped the free

Jason was overscored as fuck, he should not have been above Deniss in any segment but he has the american money. However, he did serve.

Have to mention Nikolaj Memola having a very solid senior worlds debut!!!

Ilia uuuh got the world record in the FS, 227 something and now he's going viral and how I feel about it is 😐 The 4A was magnificent, and yeah yeah he can jump and yeah it's a Succession program but PLEASE WATCH SOMEONE WHO'S ACTUALLY DOING FIGURE SKATING! One can only wonder what's next? A quint? A quad-quad combo? Because he did everything else and I doubt he'll decide to get some skating skills

Donovan was absolutely stellar! And the audience loved him!

The epic highs (Romsky SP) and epic lows (Romsky FS) - as usual

Deniss went clean (if we don't count popping the opening quad in the FS) in both SP and FS. His SP is a religious experience, and he's skating to Hallelujah exactly how Leonard Cohen would have wanted. 100% worth watching (costume deduction for showing tits is soooo funny). He also did a mad thing and debuted a new free st worlds. I was sad to see Blues Deluxe go and very sceptic about Lion King, that's junior music to me but IT WAS STUNNING and I hope he keeps it for the next season so I can see it live in Zagreb

Yuma... GOD!!!!!! He is right now THE best skater we have in this disciplinne. Carolina Costner is doing wonders for his skating skills. And somehow this was meant to be a recovery season. Meanwhile he blew everyone else out of the water. Yuma is definitely worth getting into figure skating. Two stunning programs, some textbook jumps, mind-blowing performance ability and just lovely skating skills

Adam was probably the definition of men singles skating event. 19th in the sp, everyone despaired about him... because you know, there's no hope for Boyang but there is some for Adam? And boy was there hope!!! He goes clean in the FS, does a fucking banned backflip which I am not a fan of, probably thinking "fuck it I did an amazing program but from 19th I have no chance to medal anyways so I'll just do this instead" so he takes 2 deductions. And medals. Biggest jump placement wise in history of the sport. Sooo then fucking Benoit who is already delusional about his choreo skills goes and says how he wants to create choreo so revolutionary that could potentially get him banned. My dude, you should have been banned a long time ago for Kaori's I love being a woman free at least...

WOMEN:

Tbh they were in the middle of the night for me and since men singles is my fave disciplinne it's also the only one I'd stay awake for so... not much to say here. Sorry. But there wasn't any insane drama I think, the results did take me out in the SP, but it ended up pretty nice in the end

I did see Kaori and while her programs are far from my favourites this season I am 100% convinced that girl could sell me anything. The highlight of both her performances, apart from how insanely well she did to come back from 4th to win overall in the FS, was her reaction to a botched Lutz landing in the SP. Her SP is also dedicated to her niece and nephew and it's so soft. Also imagine in a few years a teacher asks kids to say a fun fact about themselves in the first class and this kid gets up and says uuuh my aunt won her 3rd consecutive world title with one of the programs being about me being born. THE FLEX!

I only got to see Hana's FS in real time and I have made an entire post about Shakuhachi so please go watch that if you haven't, it's a masterpiece. Koo Koo Fun is also a masterpiece in some other aspects! Also go watch that! I think she did an amazing job for a kid at her first worlds in her first senior season.

Mone WHAT A COME BACK IN THE FREE!!! Which rip... I like her SP more, but definitely also chek out the Sendai baby Mone if you haven't

I've seen Amber's FS, the only clean 3A of the evening. I really hope she can one day pull off a completely clean free one day

Young had an epic performance in the SP, that StSq is just cheff's kiss. I didn't catch her FS but uhhh I also don't really want to hurt myself so I won't even try to look for it

Chaeyeon sadly has a Benoit abomination for her FS, her SP is also by Benoit but she sells it so well. I say this about her FS because quite frankly it's the FS that got her the medal.

PAIRS:

Deanna and Maxime. That's it that's what you need to know about pairs. She is a superstar, they did an Interview With the Vampire free with stunning costumes. Their SP was a firecracker! Deanna is the oldest woman ever to win the gold in figure skating, and she should be THE inspiration to all little girls trying out the sport thinking that it's just a few years of fame. You can be 40 and winning gold in your home city!

Riku and Ryuichi did so well considering they are coming back from an injury and they brought back Woman (2020-21 and 2021-22 FS). Silver was very much very well deserved

I think the only other team I remember leaving an insane impression on me were Hocke/Kunkel in the SP, absolutely fucking robbed.

Pairs was overall the best disciplinne and you should watch it, I didn't have time to see any free skates except for SD/D and M/K so that's about what I can say about the event

ICE DANCE:

Head in hands, this used to be a disciplinne where you go to therapy (skating skills) after the horrors (jump fests)

Chock/Bates won which is a fucking joke because the only thing they have going for them is the fact that Madison is hot and that can be a distraction once or twice, but not at every fucking competition and not at worlds. When will they retire?

Piper and Paul were stunning, their programs are always either a hit or a miss no inbetween and this season they are a HIT! Especially the Wuthering Heights FD you should see it! They won the free, but Skate Canada forgot to homecook in the RD so they got silver overall

Charlene and Marco have the campiest RD this season but it works!!! The only superheros I am willing to watch on my screen, marvel wishes it's characters had what these two do. Their FD is also really nice. LOVED Barb's interview where she said Madison and Evan are slow af lol, but rip she was so confident about G/F placing above G/P and then bam bronze

LALA THE TRUE WORLD CHAMPIONS! Absolutely stunning and fun RD to Thriller with Zachary actually being the main character. It's also my mom's favourite ice dance program of the season overall! And then you have a complete change of emotion and tone in their Roses FD which is just soft and elegant and she is literally dressed in flower petals. They showed so much variety and growth this season. It's a program made to be adored, and their skating offers so much quality. RD is passionate and mindblowing, FD is enchanting seamless. If ice dance was a real sport they would be the world champions!

Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko in strong contention for my fave RD this season. I am probably a bit biased becasue it's Stevie Nicks. They had an amazing glo up this season imo. Their FD offers a lot of intense character projections: obsession, possessiveness. Choreo is intricate, it's a very tasteful program. Someone on here said we should have more programs about murder after their performance and I couldn't agree more. ALSO Scott and Madison in the K&C!!!!!!

You can barely guess that Lim/Quan are a first season senior couple. They managed to make me watch Let's Go Crazy without sighing about how much I miss Yuzuru. Insanely hot in that program. Their Umbrellas are also in my top 3 free dances this season. Amazing performances at their first senior worlds

Ok I'm only gonna mention absolute delight and theatrics that Pirihara bring on the ice. Such a unique Chicago presentation! I can't wait to see what they plan to do next season.

28/10/24 Fact or Fiction

Statement #1: Jon Moxley’s heel turn has been better than Roman Reigns’ face turn. FACT - The biggest advantage of Mox's heel turn and BCC's pivot is it's realigned the direction of AEW's uppercard which has been needed for a large chunk of the year due to the Undisputed Era flatlining on arrival due to both Cole and MJF being out injured for a significant amount of time while the current configuration of The Elite just doesn't have the right amount of punch to it to make it a viable headline act (and, let's be real, Elite Melodrama storylines were getting repetitive before we were in Lockdown) - in comparison, Reigns' face turn has led to the crushing tedium that is Zombie Bloodline where we have Tonga Loa on our screens because of reasons, when realistically a line should have been drawn under The Bloodline in the months immediately after Reigns dropping the belt as I just cannot feign enthusiasm for the inevitable Bloodline vs Zombie Bloodline match which will likely headline Survivor Series

Statement #2: You believe WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “HHH” Levesque when he says that he doesn’t see color/race when it comes to wrestlers who work for him. FICTION - Because he was describing how he books PPVs when he says he doesn't see colour, as opposed to his booking where all Latino wrestlers are bundled into Legado del Fantasma or the Latino World Order, Damage CTRL are basically an all-joshi stable these days, Zombie Bloodline is bundling Samoans and Tongans into the same group and assuming that nobody will ask any questions

Statement #3:  The Ospreay-Ricochet-Takeshita match from AEW WrestleDream is one of the great triple threats of all time. FICTION - Was it great? Well...yeah, but there's a gap between "great" and "greatest" and I can't see Ospreay/Takeshita/Ricochet being spoken of in let's say five years in the same way that some other highlight triple threats have such as Low Ki/Daniels/Danielson from ROH, Joe/Styles/Daniels from TNA, Benoit/HBK/HHH or Angle/Jericho/Benoit from various WrestleManias, and so on

Statement #4: MJF will be AEW Champion again before either Swerve Strickland or Hangman Adam Page. FICTION - Working on the basis that Darby might be the guy to knock off Mox for the AEW title, at this moment in time Hangman is the most logical guy to take the belt off Darby which also allows them to run back Hangman vs Swerve for the title

Statement #5: If Zack Sabre Jr. had remained in WWE the whole time following the Cruiserweight Classic, he would have become World/Universal champion by now. FICTION - Based on who's booking the company these days, he'd be in a stable with Drew McIntyre and Finn Balor because Englishmen, Irishmen and Scotsmen are tall the same thing and definitely not the basis for a lot of jokes that punch down harder than Sasha Baron Cohen

Statement #6: WWE TV should no longer be considered a pro-wrestling show since the content now is mostly promos, vignettes, entrances and matches interrupted by commercial breaks. FICTION - That would be like saying that Match of the Day isn't a football programme because, while it's sold on Premier League highlights (unless you're a fan of a team the BBC decide only exist when they're getting merked by Liverpool or Man City) there was a long stretch between the late 90s to mid 2000s where somebody might argue in a university essay (alright, I argued...) that the term "sports entertainment" could be applied just as easily to the show as at that time it was becoming less about the highlights and more about the pundits' yakking with the most forced "banter" outside a B-tier Britpop band announcing their third or fourth reunion that it was making the highlights often feel secondary - but the fact remains it still remained a football show, even when they were joshing with whichever pundit was on Celebrity Come Dancing that year being to the rumba what Timo Werner is to finishing one-on-one chances

Out this week: Yellow Cab (IDW, $19.99)

French cartoonist Christophe Chabouté adapts French film director Benoît Cohen’s memoir Yellow Cab: A French Filmmaker’s American Dream into a graphic novel. It’s about the career change the director had in 2015, when he gave up the camera to become a New York taxi driver.

Review: Yellow Cab

By Dustin Cabeal

Yellow Cab is an interesting read to say the least. I spent the entire story waiting for the other shoe to drop and it never did. Instead, it’s just a look at the complicated nature of driving a cab in New York and how basically it’s a money pit trap for immigrants looking at getting their start in the country.

What’s even more disappointing is that it’s not even a true story, but instead the author of the novel has written themselves into the story to give a fake sense of realism. At least if the concept was based on fact, it would have perhaps been a story to bring up for this one interesting aspect.

But atlas, I went into my rant too soon. Yellow Cab follows Benoit Cohen, a French filmmaker living in gentrified Brooklyn trying to find his next story and we are obviously reading it. He decides to become a taxi driver to find a story and begins crafting a story that’s duller than the one we’re reading. It shows all the struggles and annoyances of becoming a taxi driver. It’s a big business after all so adding extra steps produces more money for the city and businesses attached to the industry. Benoit goes through it all and about halfway through the story he’s finally driving a taxi. And there’s not much else. Eventually, he stops driving a taxi and the story ends.

On one hand, this is a love note to the complicated nature of New York city. Logistically, New York shouldn’t be able to function and yet it does… constantly and that’s something that a lot of people find fascinating. This is a love note to the city and to taxis which are synonymous with New York. That part is enjoyable. Having only visited New York I too find aspects of it fascinating, but there were so many wasted pages of just artwork of buildings. Buildings that aren’t recognizable or really striking in thick black and white linework. The latter half of the book is just average looking people sitting in the back of a cab and it goes on and on until Benoit is done driving a cab.

The artwork is enjoyable and realistic. It’s all black and white as I said, but it’s meant to be that way. It’s not something that could be easily colored without losing a lot of the detail and contrast in the artwork. At the same time, I never cared for the artwork on the faces. Everything else was fine, but the faces were all pretty damn ugly. As a whole, people are average and borderline ugly, but this comic didn’t have one passable beautiful person. In a city of millions, they are apparently all ugmos. I’m sure a sense of realism was trying to be achieved here, but for my tastes I never liked the faces or the facial expressions. Everyone had the same shocked look and its used over and over throughout the course of the 162-page story. There was almost a sense of timing to when it would hit, but I couldn’t bring myself to count how many times I saw it used.

It’s not a bad story. It’s well-paced and an easy read. It’s the fact that it’s too easy to read. There’s no conflict, just minor inconveniences and because there’s nothing at risk for our character there’s no reason to worry about him. His biggest worry is that he’ll keep driving a cab. Like no shit, I think that’s what most taxi drivers worry about. The story does try to instill this panic and fear of Benoit driving a taxi at night, but then it only seems to happen in his nightmares. Really it seems like Benoit had a fun little break from movies and slummed it as a taxi driver.

It's really difficult to recommend this book. As I said, I was waiting for the other shoe to drop the entire time. I was stuck waiting for something, anything to happen, but it didn’t. You could call it a slice of life story, but it lacks anything deep to make it interesting. Benoit as a character isn’t exactly loveable or interesting and while the artwork is detailed and lovely at times, overall, it’s not memorable nor does it add a deeper layer to the story. Who is this story for? I have no idea, maybe it’s for you though. Maybe something here will ping with you and strike an interest. Maybe this will be someone’s first slice of life comic and they’ll see a world outside of superheroes that can be told with comics and that’s fine. I hope that happens, but for me personally I would be hard pressed to recommend it.

sure I understand that fandom wants to make Benoit Blanc’s husband as sweet and bland as the love interest in a romcom but honestly he should be a mean gay (with a secret good heart, natch) and their shared favorite activity is recounting and occasionally starting brunch drama

RENT characters meeting their La Boheme counterparts,, go

OH FUCK YEAH

So how they meet, idk. But they somehow get transported to the others’ universe.

• Mark and Marcello get along pretty much instantly. Although Mark is kinda offended by the way Marcello talks about women. Like “wtf dude have you met a woman” (though workshop Mark would outmatch this)

• Roger and Rodolfo…are the opposite. Roger is immediately ready to fight him “what the fuck you pretentious fucker wHAT DO HALF THE THINGS YOU’RE SAYING MEAN” and Rodolfo is like “….? please calm down I’m a poet I have to pretty much always be creating my art” “fUCKIN FIGHT ME”

• Collins and Colline also hit it off and Colline is grateful to be introduced to weed

• Angel and Schaunard are like Sass Extraordinaire and try to outsass each other

• Maureen and Musetta try to /outsing/ each other, and that’s nearly worse than the Sass Battle

• Alcindoro and Joanne…do not get along. At all.

• Benny couldn’t feel more meh about Benoit

• Oddly enough, Mark and Rodolfo immediately get along as if they were best friends, as do Marcello and Roger.

Bonus:

• Parpignol and The Man end up creeping the fuck out of everyone.

Romans : nos nouveautés de septembre.

Journal intime d’un chat acariâtre, de Susie Jouffa :

Une année dans la peau d'un chat drôle et cynique ! Dans ce livre à mourir de rire, découvrez le quotidien d'un chat hors du commun... et pourtant si réaliste ! Vous allez adorer le détester ! (fiction)

L’étoffe des héros, de Tom Wolfe :

En toile de fond : la guerre froide que se livrent les Américains et les Russes. L'enjeu : rien moins que les étoiles. Le projet : Mercury. Les héros : sept astronautes. L'Étoffe des héros se penche sur la vie des pilotes engagés dans la recherche aéronautique américaine après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, ainsi que sur les histoires des premiers astronautes du programme Mercury sélectionnés par la NASA et leurs fusées expérimentales. Le livre est basé sur une recherche approfondie de Wolfe, qui a interviewé des pilotes d'essai, des astronautes et leurs épouses, entre autres. (reportage)

Cette histoire-là, d’Alessandro Baricco :

Ultimo Parri est un jeune homme qui vieillit en s'efforçant de remettre de l'ordre dans le monde. Il a cinq ans lorsqu'il voit sa première automobile, l'année de la course mythique Versailles-Madrid de 1903, dix-neuf ans le jour de la grande défaite de Caporetto en 1917, vingt-cinq ans lorsqu'il rencontre la femme de sa vie, et beaucoup plus le soir où il meurt, loin de sa campagne piémontaise natale. Cette histoire-là est son histoire, qui nous emporte dans une course effrénée à travers le vingtième siècle. L'histoire d'une vie qui s'apparente à un destin. Car si la Terre - avec ses guerres sanglantes - tourne sans but autour du Soleil, un homme peut, s'il le désire, donner un sens à son existence. (fiction)

Vivre vite, de Philippe Besson :

Si célèbre soit-il, James Dean, symbole de la jeunesse éternelle, demeure toujours aussi insaisissable. Vivre vite, roman choral tout en nuances, dresse, à travers la voix de ses proches, le portrait intime d'un garçon de l'Indiana, inconsolable et myope, turbulent mais d'une beauté irrésistible, qui s'est donné à tous, sans jamais appartenir à personne: un acteur incandescent devenu, en trois films et un accident de voiture, une icône intemporelle. (biopic littéraire)

L’homme qui plantait des arbres, de Jean Giono :

En Provence, dans une région aride et sauvage, un berger solitaire plante des milliers d'arbres. Au fil des ans, les collines autrefois nues reverdissent et les villages désertés reprennent vie. Voici l'histoire d'Elzéard Bouffier, le silencieux, l'obstiné, celui qui réconcilie l'homme et la nature. (fiction)

La presqu’île, de Julien Gracq :

Durant les quelques heures qui le séparent de l’arrivée du train et d’une rencontre autant redoutée qu’espérée, Simon sillonne en voiture la presqu’île de Guérande… (fiction)

L’hiver aux trousses : voyage en Russie d’Extrême-Orient, de Cédric Gras :

Cédric Gras a parcouru l'Extrême-Orient russe en accompagnant l'automne à pied, à bord de camions, de canots de chasseurs ou d'un remorqueur. Des contrées polaires à la mer du Japon, la "chasse aux feuilles rouges" d'un long été indien a guidé ses pas, à travers cette Russie méconnue du Pacifique. (récit de voyage)

Les Forçats de la route, d’Albert Londres :

C'est dans ce texte mythique, souvent évoqué, qui raconte la " grande boucle " de 1924, qu'Albert Londres rend hommage aux " géants " du Tour de France. (reportage)

Avec mon meilleur souvenir, de Françoise Sagan :

Françoise Sagan n'a voulu se souvenir que des moments heureux et que des gens qu'elle a aimés. C'est ce qui rend ce livre si sympathique et ce qui a fait son succès auprès du public et de la critique. Billie Holiday, Orson Welles, Jean-Paul Sartre, Carson McCullers, Marie Bell, Rudolf Noureev, Tennessee Williams... Autant de portraits et d'histoires inoubliables. (autobiographie, portraits)

Pétrole ! d’Upton Sinclair :

Adapté au cinéma sous le titre There Will Be Blood, ce récit se veut le roman du pétrole. On ne manquera pas d’être frappé par la toute-puissance de J. Arnold Ross, ce magnat de la génération fondatrice de l’industrie pétrolière américaine, et par la soumission parfaite de son fils Bunny. Ce livre, écrit en 127, est à la fois un roman d’éducation et une fresque ambitieuse sur la naissance de l’Amérique industrielle. (fiction)

Mohammad, ma mère et moi, de Benoit Cohen :

Au moment où Donald Trump accède au pouvoir, Benoit Cohen, cinéaste français installé aux États-Unis, apprend que sa mère s’apprête à héberger, dans l’hôtel particulier du 7e arrondissement où elle vit seule, Mohammad, un migrant afghan. Alors que Benoit Cohen s’insurge contre ce président raciste qui menace de fermer les frontières, il ne peut s’empêcher de s’inquiéter pour sa mère qui, sans lui en avoir jamais soufflé mot, ouvre sa porte à un étranger. Il revient alors à Paris et rencontre Mohammad. Ce garçon qui, de déracinement en déracinement, a grandi, à l’instar des chats, sept fois plus vite qu’un jeune occidental, va lui confier son histoire. Entre Benoit, exilé volontaire, et Mohammad, réfugié malgré lui, une relation intense se noue, sous le regard de Marie-France, qui vient compléter cet improbable trio. Dans ce récit singulier, Benoit Cohen décrit, non sans humour, ce chemin exaltant et complexe qu’est la rencontre de l’autre. (témoignage)

Le tatoueur d’Auschwitz, de Heather Morris :

Sous un ciel de plomb, des prisonniers défilent à l’entrée du camp d’Auschwitz. Bientôt, ils ne seront plus que des numéros tatoués sur le bras. C'est Lale, un déporté, qui est chargé de cette sinistre tâche. Il travaille le regard rivé au sol pour éviter de voir la douleur dans les yeux de ceux qu’il marque à jamais. Un jour, pourtant, il lève les yeux sur Gita et la jeune femme devient sa lumière dans ce monde d’une noirceur infinie. Ils savent d’emblée qu’ils sont faits l’un pour l’autre. Mais dans cette prison où l’on se bat pour un morceau de pain et pour sauver sa vie, il n'y a pas de place pour l'amour. Ils doivent se contenter de minuscules moments de joie, qui leur font oublier le cauchemar du quotidien. Mais Lale a fait une promesse : un jour, ils seront libres, deux jeunes gens heureux de vivre ensemble. Deux personnes plus fortes que l’horreur du monde. (fiction)

Les Annales du Disque-monde, tome 23 : Le Dernier Héros, de Terry Pratchett :

C'est une légende vivante, le plus grand héros du Disque-monde. Il se souvient encore du temps de la grande aventure. Il se souvient du temps où les héros n'avaient pas à se soucier de clôtures ni de procès ni des contraintes de la civilisation. Il se souvient du temps où l'on ne se faisait pas enguirlander pour avoir abattu des dragons. Mais il ne se souvient pas toujours où il a rangé son dentier. Et c'est agaçant. Alors, à la tête de ses vieux (très vieux) compagnons de la Horde d'Argent, Cohen le Barbare s'est mis en marche pour sa dernière quête… (fiction)

The Selection, de Kiera Cass :

For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape a rigid caste system, live in a palace, and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon. But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her, and competing for a crown she doesn’t want. Then America meets Prince Maxon—and realizes that the life she’s always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined… (roman, livre en anglais)
