pile 1 🪷 —

“lotus flower bomb, firefly. when i'm low, she take me high. i can teach you all the sounds of love.”

heyyy pile 1, let me just start by saying the energy is strongggg af my goodness. your person is definitely a go-getter! they say what they mean, and mean what they say. this is a person who has gone through a lot of hardships in life and has experienced a lot of setbacks, causing them to feel hopeless and discouraged. but on the flip side, they possess the strength to rise like a phoenix from the ashes and overcome adversity. your person may have a deep and/or commanding voice…it's one of the things you definitely are going to love about them. your person has a lot of structure, power and authority. they call the shots and you'll love it lol. they weren't always like this either pile 1, they had to grow into the person that they are now. this provider/protector role. also, i keep hearing that they are veryyy attractive. there's a detached vibe to them that intrigues people, it's like they can't fully figure out your person & your person likes that honestly. i heard "let's keep it that way." lol they do not like people all up in their business. your person may have prominent air sign placements in their chart. this is someone who is intellectually sharp, has a clear vision, and knows how to take on challenges with a levelheaded approach. they can be headstrong from time to time but they typically make decisions based on careful thought and precision. it used to be hard for them to see the brighter side of things, but you are a beacon of light for them. you bring out the energetic and adventurous side of them, they're gonna be all over you pile 1. they can't even control it…they're usually laid back and chill but you get them so excited and aroused i'm hearing LOLOLOL. with you by their side, they know that they can do anything. i'm now hearing i won by future ft. kanye west wowww they're definitely gonna feel so lucky to have you pile 1.

their overall aesthetic:

i'm getting certified lover boy vibesssss. your person might have a calm and composed demeanor, but deep down you really stir something primal in them. they want to impress you so badly, even when you two get into the relationship they still want you to feel like you're in the honeymoon phase (i'm hearing years) down the line. whatever you want, they'll get it. they're gonna treat you with so much care, devotion and respect. i feel like this person has money mhm they're gonna splurge on you. i'm getting spontaneous trips, fine dining, luxury gifts and lots of pampering. you may not always expect that from them, but it's something they want to do for you because they love you. i feel like their love language is quality time, gift giving and words of affirmation. i see 11:11 on the clock now that i'm wrapping up your reading, WOW. this is amazing pile 1.

other channeled messages:

the party & the after party by the weeknd, aquarius, unbothered, gemini, change, cancer, authority, hey daddy (daddy's home) by usher, fancy by drake ft. t.i. & swizz beatz, 11:11, get on your knees by nicki minaj ft. ariana grande

pile 2 ☀️ —

“that's the way everyday goes. every time we've no control. if the sky is pink and white. if the ground is black and yellow. it's the same way you showed me.”

your person is an absolute gem, pile 2. i mean wow…i don't even know where to begin. i can feel their attraction and adoration for you 🥹 you inspire them so much. your person has a lot of complex emotions that they have to work through at times and they'll love how you'll always be willing to listen and give them the advice they need to carry on. i can see you two sitting really close together, faces nearly inches apart and your hand over their heart saying "i'm always here, you know that." you don't ever want them to hold back. i don't know why carmy and sydney from ‘the bear’ keep popping up in my head. (do y'all watch that show?) i'm seeing stolen glances, small smiles and hearing lots of giggling/laughter. you take their breath away pile 2. this person is not confrontational, they try to avoid conflict and discomfort as much as possible. if your upset though, they'll put their shit aside and make sure you're okay. again, idk if y'all watch ‘the bear’ but whenever sydney is upset/angry with carmy he'll immediately try to get to the root of the problem and ask her what's going on. your person does not want to fuck up the foundation they are working to build with you. they sometimes struggle with getting things started and leaving them unfinished, but with this relationship they want to see it all the way through. you have the natural ability to care for others and appreciate the beauty and value of life (i hear you romanticize life), and you inspire your person to do the same. they feel so blessed to have someone like you in their life. your person wants the whole 9 with you, they are willing to give you the world. you bring them so much joy pile 2 it nearly brings tears to my eyes.

their overall aesthetic:

i'm hearing that your person has the midas touch; everything they touch turns to gold. this is random but i feel like you're their first bad b*tch lol they've never had someone like you. i feel like their last relationship didn't end on the greatest of terms and they felt really down about it, doubting if love is even real. but you came along and shook things up! i feel like you both match each other's fly. they have a very clean-cut, simple yet effective style that you'll really like. possibly even tattoos. also, they're gonna be BIG on physical touch.

other channeled messages:

pile 3 🌅 —

“i'm tellin' everybody you're mine and i like it. and i really hope you don't mind, i can't fight it. no, you know i cannot hide it 'cause i am so excited that i finally decided on you.”

heyyy pile 3, i'm getting major best friends to lovers vibes holy shit. thinkin bout you by frank ocean just came to mind. literally anything you say or do will have your person in such awe of you. i'm getting serena van der woodsen and nate archibald vibes (without the betrayal and cheating behind a friend's back lol) but there's an undeniable chemistry between the two of you. i'm hearing "the golden boy and the it girl" 🌟 you both shine so bright together. your person is very career-oriented and self disciplined, they've worked hard for everything they have. your person has a lot to offer you! i can see you two traveling to tropical places, trying out new hobbies together, and unlocking parts of yourself that you didn't even know were hidden. you're gonna take a leap of faith with this person because they're always so encouraging and reassuring that everything will work out just fine. you might be a person that likes to plan things out and have things in order first but your person? they're just like fuck it let's do it lol they're very spontaneous and that might catch you off guard at first, but you'll actually grow to appreciate their optimism as the relationship goes on. i can hear that quote from scarface, "the eyes chico, they never lie." they'll be so enamored by you. they have a very old-fashioned way about them, in terms of how they'll court you and show you off. (they might like those classic 90s/2000s mob movies idk) but your person is very generous, romantic and sweet. you're all they can think about and vice versa. you'll both be sprung hehe.

their overall aesthetic:

they love nice things. nice cars, nice watches, nice tux, you name it. i feel like because of how they carry themselves and how well-kept they are, they attract envious people/haters. they're not oblivious to it but they definitely try to pay it no mind. i'm hearing "fuck the haters!" lol they don't care. again, i feel like they're really going to love showing you off and claiming you loud and proud for the world to see. they're very confident and some of you may be a little shy but their energy is so infectious that you'll start owning your power even more. i love love love love it pile 3!

pile 4 🎇 —

"drop the roof and let the smoke clear. i got diamonds doin' toosie slides in both ears. dice rollin' on the las vegas strip tonight. slip that on and we might miss the fight.”

hiii pile 4! i know this is straightforward but right off the bat i'm hearing that you're gonna give your person hell LMFAOOO? paint the town red by doja cat keeps playing in my head 😮‍💨 especially the part that goes "she a bad lil' bitch, she a rebel. she put her foot to the pedal, it'll take a whole lot for me to settle." you have high standards (as you should!) and they will be met. i feel like some of you that chose this pile have really bold and assertive personalities and people may find it intimidating, especially masculine energies. it's funny cause i feel like your person does have a bit of an ego and it's gonna take a minute to really figure out how to navigate the relationship. your person is a BOSS, (a big boss i'm hearing) and they have a similar mindset to you in terms of not settling for less. they are assertive by nature and it's gonna catch them off guard when you're not submissive initially. they like to take control, but you also like to take control so that's where the friction comes in. i'm not getting that it's bad or toxic though. if anything, it turns them on. i will say, out of all the other piles this one has the strongest sexual energy 😅 very very spicy! this person likes to put the work in but if something/someone is boring them they won't hesitate to move on. they hate wasting time. but you? you keep them on their toes, it's neverrr gonna be boring! i feel like you're gonna make them love drunk. i'm hearing church by mariah the scientist which is a very sensual song. they feel so pulled to you, it's out of their control and it scares them. i feel a bit dizzy rn (your person is lowkey dramatic it's hilarious) you're gonna drive them halfcrazy because they love you so much. definitely hearing halfcrazy by musiq soulchild. “my minds gone halfcrazy cause i can't leave you alone.” YEAH, they're gonna be deep in their bag about you. they may need to step back for a minute to get their mind right but one thing they know for sure is that they want you. they want it all. i'm getting heavy scorpio vibes (maybe even 8h placements) but this relationship is going to be very transformative, passionate, hypnotic and exhilarating. you're gonna love how much they yearn for you even though they try to fight it. y'all know how much power you possess hehe just be careful of playing too many mind games with this person. they really do love you pile 4, it's just gonna take a minute to find a nice balance between you both. they may need a little reassurance from you.

their overall aesthetic:

i feel like your person is a bit cold and reserved, but that's going to draw you to them even more. you want to know what's behind the mask. i just thought of the scene in ‘the batman’ when cat woman and batman are on the rooftop and she strokes his face and asks “who are you under there? what are you hiding?” AH, that's exactly what this is! you have that enticing push and pull that neither of you can walk away from because it's just too good. you're not gonna find that with anyone else, this person is your soulmate. you or this person may have had previous relationships that just didn't satisfy you or awaken you like this relationship will. i just heard f&mu by kehlani LOL y'all will love to get them riled up just to kiss and make up. i feel like you both will say it to each other too, it's a consensual game you both like to play. you both will be very upfront and honest with each other as you get comfortable, which will bring you two even closer. your person does have a bruce wayne vibe going for them lol definitely not boring but very intelligent, neat, practical, a bit brooding and always prepared for any and everything. i just heard “the bat and the cat…it's got a nice ring.” AHHH.

SLW&SH Characters ( 126 - 145 )

Fact about my characters:

IIuvia is the character who broke rain's wing like arm. She has an friend named toki.

Leza is a plant cat furry. Also her wool like fur changes depending on what season it is. She doesn't talk at all, she prefers not to talk about it. Leza also has a brother named Mistletoe.

Della is rain's girlfriend. She spends time with leza even through leza doesn't say anything. She gets annoyed by Mistletoe, IIuvia, and mostly sunflower.

Mistletoe is Leza's brother. He has roommates named toki, sunflower, and the bug twins. He painted his claws. He also got his eye ripped out by the war. Della and Snowclaw is very annoyed of Mistletoe for some reason.

Toki is just an grumpy boi in his roommates apartment room. He spends most of his time on his phone.

Jota's bunny girlfriend named Ruta. When jota is walking on the ground, she grabs her out of nowhere.

Sunflower roommates are Mistletoe, Toki, and the bug twins. He sometimes paints, just like how Jean Pierre draws. He got his half of his legs ripped off by a non-star person in the war, when he was a kid.

Raven had a girlfriend named olive. He is very dramatic about hot things touching him, except his girlfriend.

Olive's boyfriend is raven. She likes to tease him with fire or other hot burning things to scare him for fun. Whatever you touch her hands or "hair," they burn you. But they won't burn if you wear clothes, then you're fine, but you'll feel warm. When olive and raven see jota, they treat her like their child. Even though jota has a human family.

Roja is Verde's sister, they like sweets very much, using their ladybug defense on random people for no reason, and lastly if they feel like it. Roja and Verde fuse together into a yellow ladybug.

Verde is Roja's sister. I was inspired by Asavt's Scisstape, so I added a purple tape band on Roja and a green band on Verde. Roja and Verde are known as the bug twins. They are roommates of sunflower, toki, and Mistletoe.

Titan is best friends with Willow and Colin. And they are way bigger than willow and colin.

Time was created by silhouette, so he can forgive the light star for attacking the sunlight warriors. He made time to be friends with the light star. But he disappeared because Nikki took him to star town ( which is located in star dreams ). Time is surprisingly ok with this. Even though he might never see the light star again. Tempo and him might be distant cousins ( Time is a clone of Tempo technically ). He is based of a bird and has a dripping halo just like amber.

Jota's last girlfriend is here! Out of the 6 girlfriends that jota hangs out with the most is lily, they hang out like as friends and love partners. What she likes to do shop for clothes ( both stores and mall ). And if jota bumps into lily, then she'll get all flirty with her until lily manages to trick jota to go to her place. Also she's taller than jota, so jota has tall girlfriends ( except mothy ).

Sunrise and Darla are lovers, ( they might get married, also that's the same for Sky and Arctic ). Sunrise is a abandoned robot that got possessed by the light star spirit, now she hates humans and is waiting for the robots to take over humanity.

Zeo likes to float and dash very fast, but when she spins around an electric pole for anything electric related that run around. Her body covers up in electricity and if you touch her, you will be hit with 999 bolts of electricity. That's enough bolts to give a star soul an small crack. Also she's based of a otamatone.

Darla is a drone girl who also got abandoned by humans, they didn't like her breaking up, so she doesn't really mind a light star spirit helping her function. She likes being with sunrise.

Nova, Mia, and Hearty hang out beatz most of the time. Nova is a zombie cat. She only wears the goggle for her one eye is because it keeps falling out, she can kinda see through it. This is the first time I ever drew organs.

Cherrybomb has a Mexican accent. She hangs out with beatz, Nova, and jota whatever they have karaokes nights. When Cherrybomb and jota are alone together they do Mexican dances, and then she starts kissing jota on the lips until her face is red. Cherrybomb knows what dirty desires jota wants her to do.

Venus hates talking about her past, so she's spends most of her time protecting Silvermoon.

Boycotting Adidas and Gap in the Name of Kanye West Is Misguided

Kanye West has a new pronouncement: He is done with corporate America.

“It’s time for me to go it alone,” Ye explained in an interview with Bloomberg that was published Monday. “It’s fine. I made the companies money. The companies made me money. We created ideas that will change apparel forever. Like the round jacket, the foam runner, the slides that have changed the shoe industry. Now it’s time for Ye to make the new industry. No more companies standing in between me and the audience.”

Off

English

West is referring to Adidas—with whom he has an arrangement to produce his sneakers that expires in 2026—and Gap Inc., which is under contract to produce his apparel until 2030.

"They my new baby mamas,” the rapper now legally known as Ye added. “I guess we’re just going to have to co-parent those 350s.”

In recent months, West has called Adidas out for allegedly “blatantly copying” his designs—notably with the AdiFOM Q and the Adilette 22. As for the Gap, the rap game’s David Koresh claims the clothing company was copying looks from his Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga line.

“No one should be held in that position where people can steal from them and say we’re just paying you to shut up,” West explained to the outlet. “That destroys innovation. That destroys creativity. That’s what destroyed Nikola Tesla.” I don’t think that’s quite what led to Tesla’s demise, but Yeezus also complained about being left out of business meetings. He posted screengrabs of text exchanges with various executives on Instagram.

G/O Media may get a commission

Rich people fight all of the time about money. Why are some of us pretending this is some kind of civil rights issue worthy of a boycott?

Last week, Sean Combs, who I still prefer to call Puffy, wrote on Instagram: “Since the era of Run-DMC, @Adidas has always used Hip Hop to build its brand and make billions off of our culture. BUT WE ARE MORE THAN JUST CONSUMERS NOW, WE’RE THE OWNERS. @KanyeWest and YEEZY are the reason Adidas is relevant to culture. WE KNOW OUR VALUE!”

The post was accompanied by a screenshot of an apparent text exchange with our distressed fashion king/doll. “I’m done wearing Adidas products until they make this right!! We have to support each other!! Everybody repost this please!!” Puff added.

Separately, Swizz Beatz wrote: “I usually mind my business but this is DEAD WRONG! If we let them do this to @kanyewest it will happen to us also! This man created this groundbreaking innovation and it should be respected as a creative !”

“YE is only asking for his work to be respected and not stolen that’s not crazy to me !! We not buying these !!!!!!!!!!!!” he continued. “@adidas you’re supposed to be original do the correct thing please !!!”

Of all the issues to bring attention to, this ain’t it.

Once again, Ye is painting a picture of persecution when the reality is that he has been lobbying these corporate giants to give him billions of dollars and carte blanche to “create.”

Details of West’s contract are unknown, but Bloomberg reported that Yeezy made $191 million in royalties from the Adidas partnership in 2020.

Kanye made a choice to sign a contract with those enormous brands. It presumably allowed them to do whatever they want—including taking some of his creative direction and applying it elsewhere within the product line. They want to make money and since his affiliation alone arguably saved the brand, they’re going to target the customer as much as possible.

As I recall, after complaining about the major fashion houses ignoring him, he was happy to sign with them.

In an interview with Angie Martinez in 2014, he announced his deal with Adidas and said, “I’m going to be the 2Pac of product.” I still don’t know what that means, but he tried to do it on his own then without as much success. Then he retooled, used other people’s money and infrastructure, and now has an estimated worth of more than $1 billion.

And he seems to know that. Regardless of what he said this week, last week he suggested an interest in partnering with Authentic Brands Group, whose roster of brands includes Forever 21, Barneys New York, JCPenney, and Reebok. Ye also told Bloomberg he’s working with former Adidas executive Eric Liedtke, who now operates the plant-based clothing label Unless Collective, to help establish his empire.

Good for him, but I’m not sure starting a corporation is the best way to cut ties with corporate America.

By now, Kanye has an established pattern where in the event of a perceived transgression, he uses his Instagram page to malign people with insults and accusations—and then deletes everything. If anyone knows this, it’s his estranged wife and her now-ex-boyfriend. If he can go at the mother of his kids like that, close business partners are certainly not safe. I’m less inclined to treat major corporations as individuals, but there is something very Trumpian about his approach. He has a built in audience/cult that will fall for it, but this comes across as the frustrations of a manipulative micromanager who probably slowed down production (see his perpetually delayed and disjointed album releases).

Sidebar: I love how he ignores all of the times he’s been accused of copying.

Once again, Ye is painting a picture of persecution when the reality is that he has been lobbying these corporate giants to give him billions of dollars and carte blanche to “create.” He got what he wanted and they got what they paid for.

I don’t back Trump supporters with their boycotts—he shouldn’t have signed that contract if he wasn’t cool with the terms. If anything, all of these complaints have made me want to buy Adidas even more, just to spite him. Unless Beyoncé tells me something bad about the company, I’ll pass on the boycott.

I understand Puffy and Swizz want to support their fellow rich friend, but this feels like civil rights-themed hustle with beats. Sorry, not sorry, and thanks but no thanks.

Update: Kanye has since severed his relationship with Gap, announcing on Thursday (9/15) that he’s terminating his partnership with the Gap because of “substantial noncompliance.”

In a statement, his lawyer Nicholas Gravante said West was left with “no choice but to terminate their collaboration” because the retailer allegedly breached their partnership by not opening branded Yeezy stores and distributing his apparel as originally planned.

“Gap’s substantial noncompliance with its contractual obligations has been costly,” Gravante wrote. “Ye will now promptly move forward to make up for lost time by opening Yeezy retail stores.”

Let that be a lesson to all: Rich people will always be fine so long as they complain to their lawyers rather than IG.

"Luci e suoni di Napoli" quattro giorni di eventi per il Capodanno

"Luci e suoni di Napoli" quattro giorni di eventi per il Capodanno Dopo il successo dello scorso anno, torna il Capodanno a Napoli con l'evento "Luci e suoni di Napoli...", una grande festa e tante iniziative dedicate ai napoletani e ai numerosi turisti presenti in città per un fine anno 2023 ed inizio anno 2024 all'insegna della musica, dell'arte e dello spettacolo. Sarà una quattro giorni ricca di eventi, dal 29 dicembre al 1° gennaio che, nel solco del progetto 'Napoli Città della Musica', strizza l'occhio alle nuove e meno giovani generazioni, con una programmazione tesa a valorizzare differenti generi di intrattenimento, in particolare musicale. Le iniziative che accompagneranno l'arrivo del nuovo anno confermano quella visione inclusiva e policentrica di città che l'Amministrazione comunale si è impegnata a realizzare, valorizzando in primo luogo i giovani ed esaltando le diverse espressioni d'arte. Gli Eventi Ad aprire il calendario degli appuntamenti, venerdì 29 dicembre, saranno due momenti di solidarietà: il primo con il maestro Carlo Morelli che porterà La musica in carcere con la band in concerto per i detenuti di Poggioreale, il secondo dedicato ai piccoli pazienti del Santobono che nel pomeriggio (ore 15,00) riceveranno la visita del sindaco Gaetano Manfredi accompagnato dagli artisti Lele Blade, Lda, Francesco Cicchella e Peppe Iodice. Sabato 30 dicembre Capodanno dei Bambini al Maschio Angioino: dalle 10 alle 20 il castello si trasformerà in un luogo fatato per i più piccoli con giochi, spettacoli ed intrattenimento. In Piazza Plebiscito, a partire dalle 20, protagonista sarà la musica urban e rap con diversi artisti della scena napoletana e non solo. La serata sarà aperta dai vincitori del contest "Giovani promesse di città della Musica" selezionati da una giuria d'eccezione composta da Geolier, Luchè e Chiummariello. Si esibiranno, poi, Plug, Lele Blade, MV Killa, Yung Snapp, Niko Beatz, Enzo Dong, NTO, Coco, LDA, Vale Lambo, Andrea Settembre e, in chiusura del concerto, la signora del rap italiano Rose Villain, tra i protagonisti del prossimo Sanremo. Domenica 31 dicembre, Grande spettacolo in Piazza Plebiscito in attesa del brindisi di mezzanotte con la partecipazione di tanti artisti, comici e cantanti. A partire dalle 21, sul palco, saliranno Enzo Avitabile e i Bottari, The Kolors, Francesco Cicchella, Arisa e Jimmy Sax, in una serata condotta da Peppe Iodice, Francesco Mastandrea, Francesco Procopio e Daniele Decibel Bellini. Insieme a loro scalderanno il pubblico anche altri grandi protagonisti del mondo dello spettacolo come Gabriele Esposito, Erminio Sinni e Ciro Giustiniani. Si esibiranno sul palco anche i vincitori di un contest per giovani comici emergenti. 31 dicembre 2023, dalle 23.30 alle 06:00 'Napoli cambia traccia': Alla Colonna Spezzata in Piazza Vittoria il nuovo anno sarà celebrato con HISTORY 90+, irresistibile format lanciato da Drop e dedicato ai favolosi 90's con l'inconfondibile radio style di DJ Cerchietto e con i dj set di Danilo De Santo e Irene Ferrara, seguiti in battuta dal vocalist Goldie Voice. Sul palco alla Rotonda Diaz il dancefloor sarà invece animato dalla new generation della club culture partenopea in collaborazione con i collettivi musicali Drop, Soul Express e Bang! e con i protagonisti della Nu Disco e del Nu Funk made in Naples tra i quali Marvin&Guy, Pellegrino, Fantasie Safari, Mario Bianco& Gabriele Del Prete, Vincenzo Curcio B2B Mugman e Valerio Viglione, tutti dj e produttori musicali del territorio metro-napoletano che si stanno facendo attori di una rivoluzione musicale che "suona" anche in molti club mondiali. Lunedì 1 gennaio Alla Colonna Spezzata dalle ore 16:00 alle 20,00 NAPOLI JAM SESSION Concerto/evento a cura di Max Jovine, bassista dei 99 Posse, che unisce circa trenta autori, artisti e musicisti della nuova scena musicale napoletana: a partire dalle 16.00 del 1° gennaio 2024, una originale e trasversale miscela musicale fonderà i ritmi, i sound e diversi linguaggi prodotti negli ultimi anni all'ombra del Vesuvio. Dalla band del collettivo N'Arte a quella del maestro Giuseppe Spinelli che accompagnerà le esibizioni live dei quindici special guest: 1. Andrea Tartaglia; 2. Balbusea; 3. Veronica Simioli; 4. Antonio Marino; 5. Collettivo N'Arte; 6. Dario Sansone; 7. Francesco Di Bella; 8. Greg Rega; 9. Helen Tesfazghi; 10. Jovine; 11. Peppoh; 12. Simona Boo; 13. Zulù; 14. Fabiana Martone; 15. Vesuviano. Basilica di San Domenico Maggiore, alle ore 18,00, il nuovo anno si aprirà con il tradizionale concerto di musica classica omaggio al Maestro Roberto De Simone 'Natale a Napoli alla Corte di Carlo di Borbone'. L'orchestra La Nuova Polifonia, diretta da Alessandro De Simone, ed il coro Ensemble Vocale di Napoli eseguiranno il Mottetto natalizio Quem vidistis pastores? riportato alla luce dal Maestro Roberto De Simone. Un momento musicale natalizio al quale Napoli, nella splendida cornice di San Domenico Maggiore, non ha mai rinunciato sin dal 1737 ed un evento importante non solo per la promozione delle tradizioni locali, ma soprattutto per la storia della musica e della cultura Europea. "La programmazione di eventi che accompagnerà cittadini e turisti all'arrivo del nuovo anno si annuncia vasta e variegata con concerti e spettacoli adatti al pubblico di ogni età - ha dichiarato il sindaco Gaetano Manfredi - L'esperimento dello scorso anno ha avuto successo e lo abbiamo confermato come format, Capodanno a Napoli sarà tanta buona musica, ma anche occasione per esprimere solidarietà e per valorizzare l'arte ed i talenti giovani del territorio. Come Amministrazione stiamo rilanciando una visione di città inclusiva e che sia all'altezza dello straordinario afflusso turistico che stiamo vivendo, in questa direzione continueremo con il progetto avviato da 'Napoli Città della Musica' affinchè l'arte attraverso la musica contribuisca allo sviluppo di una comunità consapevole che sappia custodire la tradizione guardando al futuro". "Dopo lo straordinario successo del 2022/23, una seconda edizione sempre nel segno della musica e del progetto "Napoli Città della Musica" – ha spiegato il delegato del Sindaco per l'industria musicale e l'audiovisivo Ferdinando Tozzi - Quest'anno abbiamo puntato, in tempi non sospetti, su Rose Villain e The Kolors... due big di Sanremo 2024 che si esibiranno a Napoli nella notte di Capodanno dedicata ai cittadini e ai tanti turisti, così come su Geolier, altro big di Sanremo inserito nella giuria del contest dei giovani musicisti. Ma il programma vuole rivolgere la massima attenzione a tutti, in modo trasversale, dai bimbi ai giovani ai meno giovani, ai meno fortunati, perché Capodanno è la festa di tutti. Poi c'è l'intenzione di valorizzare i nostri talenti, con ben 3 contest come "Napoli e' mille colori" e tante diverse espressioni di intrattenimento, di generi musicali (dalla urban al Maestro De Simone) e di comicità. Insomma una grande festa popolare e di tradizione, ma che guarda alle future generazioni e si apre alla contaminazione culturale".... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

02/09 Marika Rossa, ANKKH @ Bolgia Summer Garden - Bergamo

Sabato 2 settembre 2023, Bolgia Summer Garden, top club elettronico a Bergamo, inaugura la stagione 2023 / 2024 all'insegna dell'eccellenza. Sul palco del top club sull'A4, per l'occasione arriva la top dj producer ucraina Marika Rossa. Con lei, c'è il duo italiano ANKKH. E' l'ennesimo party imperdibile, dopo una breve pausa, perfetta per ricaricarsi e ripartire alla grande.

Ucraina, classe '86, quasi 370mila follower su Instagram, Marika Rossa della console è un'artista completa. Mette insieme stile (è pure una fashion designer), fascino e conoscenza musicale. Propone una techno potente e senza fronzoli. Fino al 2010 si è esibita solo in Ucraina e Russia, dopo è diventata un'artista internazionale. Nella geografia di locali che ballano con la sua musica ci sono nazioni come Germania, Italia, Austria, Francia, Spagna, Georgia. Ha fatto scatenare festival come Kazantip, Parookaville, Airbeat 1, Open Beatz e pure top club come il Bootshaus di Colonia. "Duh", pubblicata a fine 2022, resta un cavallo di battaglia durante le sue serate. Ad inizio 2023 remixa invece, col suo stile potente e scuro, "Oklof" di Scutum Man. Dopo un top club come il Bolgia, fa ballare, tra gli altri l'Egg di Londra, il 30 settembre. 

Si allinea con il suono techno innovativo e potente di Marika Rossa la performance del duo milanese ANKKH, sul palco della Garden Room del Bolgia di Bergamo il 2 settembre 2023. Kristofer ed Ektor, ovvero gli ANKKH portano sul palco un vero spettacolo che combina un suono techno e sottoculture come cyberpunk e hyper pop. Come? Conta anche la loro formazione, che hann vissuto all'Accademia di belle arti. Chiudono il cerchio, sempre inGarden Room, WM e Rea K. 

Il suono nella Indoor Room è quello all'avanguardia del party We Know. Il Bolgia apre alle ore 23.30 e si balla fino alle 6 del mattino. 

Il party che vede protagonisti Marika Rossa e il duo ANKKH al Bolgia di Bergamo sabato 2 settembre 2023 è solo l'ennesimo appuntamento all'insegna dell'eccellenza nel top club sull'A4. Tra gli altri, sul palco del Bolgia, si sono esibiti di recente top dj come Tita Lau, Luca Agnelli, Chris Liebing, Len Fake  e molti altri artisti attivi in tutto il mondo, tra cui Sam Paganini, Indira Paganotto, I HATE MODELS, 999999999 e KLANGKUENSTLER, Alignment, RBX e Franchino.

Tazumo Skill Issue ref sheet:

Details:

Name: Tazumo (Taz)

Age: 23

Height: 5ft 6 Inch

Identifiers: Ace Lesbian, Autistic

Pronouns: She/Her (fine with He/Him)

Fav band: Inkin Park

Fav song: Papercut

Likes: Squid Beatz, Herbie, piercings

Dislikes: Loud noises, people, smoking, Selene

Personality: Blunt (she's just rolled that way), emotionally constipated 90% of the time, quiet and reflective for the other 10%.

She doesn't feel comfortable expressing herself around people, so she keeps it to herself until she's alone. Uses sarcasm and being cold to keep people from getting close. Is actually very emotionally deep and sensitive to other people's needs, just acts like an asshole to throw people off.

(She's been badly hurt by people in the past and doesn't want to open herself up to more disappointment and heartache.)

Other fun facts:

Colourful language. (She will call you something derogatory/condescending or flip you the bird. Depends how much she's willing to tolerate you.)

Usually just ignores people if they're not worth her time.

Three facial expressions: Pissed off, slightly less pissed off/bemused, being around Herbie face

Got those abandonment issues in her. Pushes away first because she believes they'll always leave her in the end.

Managed to get to the Squid Beatz championship finals once before, but her ex dance partner dropped her last minute for a replacement and snubbed her of her chance of competing and winning.

Thanks to her ex dance partner spreading the rumour that she quit last second at the championship finals, folks in the Squid Beatz community gave her the nickname "Deadbeatz", because they all believed she was a deadbeat dance partner. She liked it so much that she now uses it full time.

Self destructive. Sneaks out of Herbie's place late at night to get into fights because she misses how her ex dance partner made her feel. (She has a large scar below her collarbone from this.)

Works as a bartender at a lesbian bar. On Friday nights, she works the ring in the basement as a fighter for extra income.
