Top 5 favorite photographers is Mark Seliger. He became a friend in my mid-twenties. I worked with him in Houston, TX before he moved to NYC. He was a photo assistant at the time. Mark shot 188 Rolling Stone covers and many Vanity Fair assignments. He is one the best in the world.

Karácsonyi filmmustra - a 223. epizód

Karácsonyi filmmustra – a 223. epizód

Tagadhatatlan, hogy az idén a mozikban nem találunk egy igazán nagyszerű és kihagyhatatlan karácsonyi filmet sem, de azért nem is kell hiányt szenvedni ebben a témában: hála a Hallmarknak, a Netflixnek, és még megannyi más streaming-szolgáltatónak, a karácsonyi filmeknek se szeri, se száma. Meg is néztünk ezekből jó párat, hangolódva az ünnepre (vagy csak úgy), és legfrissebb adásukban nektek is…

1990s German Techno Playlist (YouTube)

Started putting together a small playlist of some of my personal 90s German techno favorites for you all to enjoy for this week 😎. It's not definitive by any means, but with this first iteration, I think this thing still presents a pretty nice range of different types of techno, from the deep and rumbling, hypnotic basement kind to the main-room-of-the-club floor-stomping kind 😤. And despite the fact that most of these selections come from a small handful of Germany's most well-established dance and techno labels—Harthouse, Tresor, and the qualitative-over-quantitative Chain Reaction—I'd say that, given the YouTube play counts for a lot of these tracks, that most of them are a tad bit obscure too 👍.

Ich und meine buddies vibing to ze German 90s tekno

But while almost all of these tunes are by German acts that were released by German labels, the track that we happen to kick off with here, an eleven-plus minute piece of acid-drenched sci-fi psychosis from 1993 called "Blanche," by a short-lived duo from Mainz who called themselves Purple Plejade, is not from a German label at all, but is instead from a Dutch label called Djax-Up-Beats. Purple Plejade was made up of a couple notable German techno names in Holger Wick and Thomas P. Heckmann, but the two of them together only put out a couple of 12-inches, and "Blanche" was their first. Now, there's a scratchy ten-minute version of this song that's already on YouTube, that I think was uploaded back when the maximum length of your video could only be ten minutes, and that thing has over 41,000 plays on it. But this *full,* extra-minute-plus affair, as Gott originally intended it to be heard, only has under 11,000 plays across a bunch of different YouTube uploads, by comparison.

Now let's talk about a couple other favorites on here: one floor-stomper and one that's headily sublime. The floor-stomper comes courtesy of Bad Nauheim's Patrick Lindsey, who in 1996 released a 12-inch called The Phat Jive on Harthouse. And the title track on that release is what you get when you pair some melody that's reminiscent of a theme song from one of those syndicated reality court shows that airs on TV in the afternoons with some snaky, beeping synths and smacking four-on-the-floor percussion to then overwhelm it. A unique fucking banger that's sitting at over 1,300 plays.

And for that headily sublime one, which closes us out, we have a tune from Berlin's DisX3, aka Alexander Kowalski, who in 1999 put out a 12-inch on Tresor called Sequenzed_Function E.P., which kicked off its b-side with "Bored Meat." This stunner's loaded up with a fuck-ton of Richter scale-registering drums to form its rhythmic foundation, but where it really kills is with its weakly plonking, contrastingly high-pitched synth melody that gets placed atop of it all, while including a bunch of jingling hi-hats too. Basically, if you really love yourself some techno music, this is a track that should simply pierce your mechanically-made soul 🤤. And it's only been listened to less than ten thousand times on YouTube!

This playlist is ordered as chronologically as possible:

Purple Plejade - "Blanche" Patrick Lindsey - "Prepare to Jam" Patrick Lindsey - "The Phat Jive" Porter Ricks - "Port of Transition" Alter Ego vs. David Holmes - "The Evil Needle" Pacou - "T.4" Continuous Mode - "Direct Drive Mode 1" DisX3 - "The Wide Theatre" DisX3 - "Bored Meat"

And this playlist is also on YouTube Music.

So with the introduction of this playlist, we start out with a total of ten songs that run for 68 minutes. Altogether, a good and eclectic clip of stuff here to get us started that's not very well known.

And next week we'll be staying put in Germany, but we'll be getting into some much chillier stuff! 🥶

Enjoy!

More to come, eventually. Stay tuned!

Halloween/Fall Season TBR 2023

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to write down my TBR for the fall/Halloween season and mention some of the new books that are coming out this year. These titles are the ones I read every year and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a scary book to read (or really any murder mysteries, it feels like this is the prefect season to read Murder Mysteries).

~Books that are on my TBR~ : (Pretty much I recommend everything on this list)

Coraline by Neil Gailman

Halloween Tree by Ray Bardbury

Pumpkin Heads

Nancy Drew (This and the next few are perfect for the cozy weather)

Judy Bolton

Dana Sisters

Connie Blair

Hardy Boys

Scary Godmother

Edgar Allen Poe

The Invisible man

Nightmare Before Christmas Long Live the Pumpkin Queen

Bunnicula

Dracula by Bram Stoker

Frankenstein by Mary Shelly

Garlic and the Vampire

Garlic and the Witch

Halloween Party by Agatha Christie (first time I am going to read this)

Sherlock Holmes

Then there was none by Agatha Christie

Addams family

Goosebumps books

Mirror Lake By Juneau Black

The House of Lost Horizon Sarah Jewell mystery

Sleepy Hallow by Washington Irving

Harry Potter (I also read these around Xmas time too)

~OP Books I recommend~

The Shady Hallow mysteries. I love this series and it feels like you can read this series no matter what time of year but the big ones that I recommend from this series are Cold Clay & Mirror Lake.

I love Mirror Lake the most out of the series and the description of food and the autumn ambience is wonderful.

~Soon to release books (I hope)~ :

DeepHaven by Ethan M. Aldridge- I saw the artwork that this author has been posting and I thought it was gorgeous. I did some digging but did not really want to spoil it too much for myself. I am getting very Eldritch horror vibes from the artwork.

Unfamiliar vol 2 by Haley Newsome- I am in love with this series, it has magic it has witches it has food. What more could I ask for.

Twilight Falls by Juneau Black- This is one of my highly anticipated books that are coming out this year. I love the Shady Hollow Mysteries series, this come out after November, but I am still super hype for it.

 Tim Burton’s Nightmare before Christmas the Battle for Pumpkin King by Dan Conner- I have been collecting anything really Nightmare for a few a years now and when I saw this I freaked, I can’t wait for it.

Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree- I loved Legends & Lattes and when I found it there was going to be a 2nd book, I was thrilled I can’t wait for it.

Catch me If you Candy by Ellie Alexander- Recently I have been wanting to get more cozy mysteries and this series is like one of the biggest series I have seen. I am hoping to start collecting the series soon.

~New Books~ :

Most of these books are going to be Cozy Mysteries. I love Mysteries and Cozy Mysteries are right in my alley. First of all, I will not spoil mysteries for anyone if I can help it, so I will keep description vague. Most of these books are new to me and I am keeping myself blind incept for like the over storyline. (These are not new releases they are just new to me)

Fatal Fudge Swirl by Meri Allen- this is the third book in the Ice Cream Shop Mysteries books, I am trying to collect the others and read them in order. So, this mystery takes place around Halloween and there is a wedding, and tragedy strikes at the wedding.

Murder at the Pumpkin Pageant by Darci Hannah- this is another cozy that takes place around time Halloween time. Halloween time is here, and our MC Lindsey is not really jazzed about it, because she lives in the town spooky haunted lighthouse, so teenagers make it a test of courage to come up and scare each other silly.  However, this year her best friend asked to do a spooky episode for her social media what was supposed to be a night of ghost hunting and fun scares turns sinister.

One Poison Pie by Lynn Cahoon- Now this one doesn’t take place on around Halloween (as far from what I know I haven’t not read this book yet, so I fix this later if I am wrong) but it’s having to do with witches and what’s better she is an amateur detective kitchen witch. Mia is our main character and right now she has hit a rough patch in her life when boyfriend has left her greener pastures and she is now jobless. So, she heads back home to her grandma’s house. It’s the first book in this series so I don’t know too much about it.

A Batter of Life and Death by Ellie Alexander- the only thing I know is that this book takes place in fall and I just starting to get into the Bakeshop Mystery series. So, I am keeping my self-blind and I can’t wait to read it.

No Parm No Foul by Linda Reilly- this is the second book in the grilled cheese shop mystery, and it takes place around Halloween. I read the first book and I like it, so I want to try to get the second to see how it is.

Reblogged with the actual winners.

The only big surprise was Jamie Lee Curtis, but I guess they just had to give it to a white chick instead of Angela Bassett who has been shut out of a win for like, 30 years.

And Jimmy Kimmel can keep his day job. The Will Smith jokes were tasteless and too much tonight underlined all the racist/anti-Black sentiment out there (wasn't helped by that Entertainment Weekly set of anonymous interviews this past week).

But EEAAO making a clean sweep? Outstanding.

Twist Of Fate (8/8)

I FINISHED IT JUST UNDER THE WIRE! GO ME!

Twist Of Fate - What if Jessica had a very good reason for not escorting Connor Dunbrook's kid to trial? What might have been?  

READ PART 1 | READ PART 8

EPILOGUE  

Eight Months Later      

It had been eight months of surprises and settling, but that had led to today, with Flack holding their son in his arms while Angell fed their daughter in bed. Twins had only been one of the surprises they’d lived through while waiting for their children to be born.

Lindsey found out she was pregnant again not long after Angell found out, so the two women bonded over being pregnant at the same time. Danny was giving Flack advice on how to deal with pregnant women and fatherhood, and Flack was taking it all in along with advice from Sam, his dad, and Angell’s dad. He now felt as prepared to be a father as he could have been.

Mac and Stella had gotten engaged when Angell was three and a half months pregnant, much to everyone’s surprise. Hawkes left the labs to go back into the medical field but they still saw him often enough. Adam became a CSI and proved to be a very diligent one. Flack had left for the private sector around the time they found out they were having twins, with Angell staying in for the medical insurance until that was settled on Flack’s end.

That required them to get married, but Angell had asked and Flack had said yes. Flack’s mother had gotten a decent celebration ready on such short notice, even though they were married in Central Park by Mac, who had done the coursework to perform weddings. Angell’s dad had walked her down the aisle, and they’d had a celebration at their new home in the Bronx.

Then Angell’s ankles and wrists began to swell, so she was put on bed rest until now. The labor had been short, thankfully, and Donald Flack III was born first, followed by Clarissa Justine Flack a half hour later.

And now they were enjoying a few moments of peace before their found family came to visit. Mac and Stella came in first, followed by Danny and Lindsay. Then they were followed into the room by Hammerback, Hawkes, and Adam.

Adam brought two bottles of sparkling apple cider and Hawkes had brought a small cake, and once the babies were settled into their bassinets, Flack lifted up his flute of cider. “To the woman of the hour. To Jess, who gave us the most beautiful additions to our family with very little muss and fuss.”

“To Jessica!” everyone chorused before they began drinking cider and eating cake.

“So, you’re really leaving the force?” Adam asked. “I’m going to miss you.”

“Well, I’m not quite leaving,” she said. “I’m going into the consulting business. You know, like Sherlock Holmes? So you’ll probably see me around still.”

“Well, that’s good!” Adam said with a smile.

“But you’re going to take some time off to be with the little ones, right?” Hawkes asked.

Flack nodded. “Maternity and paternity leave for three months. My paycheck covers Jess staying out longer if she wants to.”

“Three months? That’s amazing,” Stella said. “But I bet you’ll get plenty of help taking care of these two beauties.” She set down her plate. “May I hold one of them?”

“Hold the boy, he looks fussy,” Angell said. Stella picked up Don Flack III and held him gently, cooing at him.

“Picture time!” Hammerback said. “Everyone gather round. I’ll set up the shot.”

Everyone gathered around Flack and Angell, who were both on the bed. “We’re pretty lucky, aren’t we?” Angell asked, looking up at Flack.

“Yeah, we really are,” he said, leaning in to kiss her as the flash went off.

Ale You Need is Love

Below is the transcript from my guest post on the crime fiction blog, Sleuthsayers. <You can read the original post here>

Confession time.

I’m not a beer drinker. Never have been. In my early days of enjoying spiked beverages, I reached for wine coolers (shoutout to my two college friends, Bartles and James). Then Scotch whiskey, both single malt and blends, took over as my libation of choice. These days, I favor crisp Italian white wines.

Which is a long way of saying, I was in store for some fun new-to-me research to help craft my short story of suspense, “Not Yo’ Mama’s IPA” in Murder, Neat, a SleuthSayers Anthology. I took Happy Hour fieldtrips to a few of Richmond, Virginia’s finest brew pubs. Tasted flights of beers. Studied the origins of IPAs, as well as the proper way to pour and serve. Did you know India Pale Ales (a.k.a. IPAs) have their own dedicated glassware? I didn’t when I started plotting my story idea.

Well, then if not beer, what inspired my story, you might wonder?  An insurance statement delivered by snail mail not so long ago. Sexy? Maybe not, but I found it pretty compelling.Kristin Kisska © Lindsey Pantele Photgraphy

As the beneficiary of my husband’s life insurance, I received what would be the final premium invoice for his term policy. That auspicious morning, I’d ripped open the envelope, looked up from the paystub to him, and joked that for one final year, he’d be worth more dead than alive—crime authors can be sensitive and thoughtful that way. It’s a good thing my husband shares my humor!

But my muse took my dark quip, noodled it for a while, and ultimately ran with it. What would it take for someone to cash in on a loved one’s expiring policy? How deep and dark would an injustice need be to give them motive?

Let me introduce you to Lynn and Jack, the unlucky-in-love, beer-drinking couple at the heart of my short story of suspense, “Not Yo’ Mama’s IPA”. Lynn finds out that ignorance can indeed be bliss…until the truth hits you like a sledgehammer.

Happy reading!

For the true crime enthusiast with an interest in insurance as motive for murder, I recommend reading the creative nonfiction, The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson, which dramatizes the chilling story of serial killer on the loose in Chicago at the turn of the twentieth century. The murderer, H.H. Holmes, mastered the art of convincing his many victims to take out insurance policies with him as the beneficiary. Spoiler alert ~ his prey had a very short life expectancy after signing on the dotted line.

Insurance fraud can be deadly.

At the end of the day, you may or may not find me savoring a fine IPA at happy hour. But one thing I’ll forever be preaching from my soapbox is, don’t let your life insurance policy be used as a weapon against you.

Note ~ No real-life husbands were harmed in the plotting of this short story. On the contrary, mine enjoyed being my plus one as I conducted my IPA and brewery research. I’m happy to report that we both survived the expiration of his insurance policy.

Cheers, y’all!

1990s Techno Playlist

Jeez, I really haven't updated this thing in almost a year?!? That's kinda crazy. Anyway, I have a couple songs to add this week to this 90s techno playlist of mine, with one from the Netherlands' Djax-Up-Beats label and the other from Germany's Harthouse label, the latter of which was famously co-founded by dance music legend and pioneer Sven Väth.

So, the first addition here comes courtesy of a Chicago native named DJ Skull, who in 1995 put out Hard Drive, a double 12-inch that closes out with a pretty terrific tune called "Graveyard Orchestra." This is a song that really feels like one of those cruising-through-the-city-on-a-weekend-night kinda deals. Placid strings undergird both a bevy of percussive bits as well as a fun and fuzzy keyboard melody, and it also has a lovely beginning too, which sees more and more elements progressively added, until the four-on-the-floor drum eventually satisfyingly hits, and then the whole thing just proceeds to coast 😎. Currently sitting at over 18,000 plays.

And the other tune I added this week is by Belgium's Frank de Wulf, whose dope as hell, techno-funky banger, "Drums in a Grip," first appeared on a Harthouse compilation in 1995 called Dark Hearts 2. This is one that feels kinda simple in its composition, but it was clearly made for partying to and is just so irresistibly groovy and infectious. I mean, there's really no such thing as mainstream techno—at least in North America—but this is one for the main room of the club, where all the relatively normal people congregate, rather than the dark and dank basement dwellings where a lot of other techno tunes on this playlist happen to sound like the perfect fit for. But be that as it may, "Drums in a Grip" still only has a hair over 18,000 plays on Spotify 😕.

DJ Skull - "Graveyard Orchestra" Frank de Wulf - "Drums in a Grip"

And now for the YouTube version of this playlist, which comes with both of those DJ Skull and Frank de Wulf tunes, but also a bunch of other bonus tracks that can't be found on Spotify at all! I'm not gonna write about every single one of the songs that I added to it this week, but I'd be totally remiss if I didn't at least mention the hypnotic power of German trio Traveller's highly percussive 1997 track, "Motion," which originally appeared on the group's second and final release, a 12-inch on Harthouse called Two. This is a tune that really sounds like a combination of a bunch of different things, including:

a series of very tightly packed and wound stabs which form the track's overall foundation and sound like a washing machine that's running off-kilter;

another piece of percussion that's laid over that foundation and sounds like a bouncing tennis ball;

a constant rhythmic ringing that sounds like you need to pull your car over to the side of the road so you can take a look under the hood and figure out what's wrong with it.

A uniquely excellent tune, to say the least, that's currently at under 5,900 plays on YouTube across a few different uploads.

Patrick Lindsey - "That Phat Jive" Earth Nation - "Educated (Untouched Mix)" Alter Ego vs. David Holmes - "The Evil Needle" Mould Impression - "Bits & Strings" Traveller - "Motion"

And this playlist is also on YouTube Music.

So, with this update, the Spotify version of this playlist now has 33 songs that clock in at 3 hours and 50 minutes, but the YouTube one now has 72 songs that clock in at 7 hours and 55 minutes! So if you want something lengthy that's packed with much more overlooked and underappreciated techno goodies, then the YouTube one is definitely for you! 😊

And if 3h50m and 7h55m sounds like way too much techno for you, consider listening to some of these other 90s techno playlists that I've made and are broken down by year:

1996 Techno: YouTube / YouTube Music 1997 Techno: Spotify / YouTube / YouTube Music

Enjoy!

More to come, eventually. Stay tuned!

James Norton (Happy Valley) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones) are set to star in the new CBS Studios period drama series King and Conqueror from creator Michael Robert Johnson (Sherlock Holmes). The series is based on the 11th-century figures Harold of Wessex (Norton) and William of Normandy (Coster-Waldau) and is set to begin production in 2024.

King and Conqueror is the story of a clash that defined the future of a country – and a continent – for a thousand years, the roots of which stretch back decades and extend out through a pair of interconnected family dynasties, struggling for power across two countries and a raging sea. Harold of Wessex and William of Normandy were two men destined to meet at the Battle of Hastings in 1066; two allies with no design on the British throne, who found themselves forced by circumstance and personal obsession into a war for possession of its crown.

“We are thrilled to partner with James, Nikolaj, Baltasar and the entire creative team on King and Conqueror, a truly groundbreaking series with world-class talent and global reach,” Lindsey Martin, senior vice president of international co-productions and development at CBS Studios said in a statement. “Michael’s scripts offer a bold and fresh take on a story that has endured for nearly 1,000 years, and yet, the themes are as contemporary and relevant as ever. We are incredibly proud of what the team has achieved so far and can’t wait to see it all come to fruition on screen with our star-studded cast.”

The series is created and executive produced by Michael Robert Johnson. Also serving as executive producers are James Norton and Kitty Kaletsky for Rabbit Track Pictures, Baltasar Kormákur for RVK Studios, Robert Taylor for The Development Partnership, Dave Clarke and Richard Halliwell for Shepherd Content, Ed Clarke, Robert Jones, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and CBS Studios’ Lindsey Martin.

Kormákur will direct the premiere episode and, as executive producer, will steer the creative across the series. The BBC has acquired broadcasting rights for the series on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the United Kingdom. The series will be distributed outside of this market by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

Norton is represented by The Artists Partnership, WME and Johnson Shapiro Slewett & Kole; Coster-Waldau is represented by UTA abd Sloane Offer Weber
