Unveiling the Raw Energy of WTO Sco: "Shhh Ain't Normal"
In the heart of Richmond, VA, the rising star WTO Sco is making waves in the rap and hip-hop scene. Known for his unapologetic style and powerful lyricism, WTO Sco’s latest track, “Shhh Ain’t Normal,” is nothing short of a sonic bombshell. Produced by the talented Toonz and released under We The Ones Entertainment, this track is poised to leave an indelible mark. In this blog post, we’ll dive…
A goode dose of side glances and priestly hotness 🫠
It does not happen often but here are four rarely seen promo photographs of Matthew as Bernd Koch, the "spectacularly handsome and well-built papal secretary" in The Vatican (to quote the script). They were kindly shared by 2muchimmersion on Twitter (thank you so much 🙏🩷). I have edited them, in particular changing the original beige background to a steely blue. To me, this accentuates the mystery of Matthew's character.
I cannot get over how beautiful these pictures are. And I am feeling again utterly bereft that we can't see this pilot 😭.

Her Majesty first visited Vatican in 1980. Angela Kelly was still in school. The Queen was dressed in black, black veil and a tiara. (The vladimir, no added stones).
Her second visit came in 2000, no tiara, dressed in black. One can suppose that BP would have remembered what the dress code was from the precious visit.
I come to dislike Kelly. I follow her on instagram.
Awfully bold of you to assume that everyone who was involved in the 1980 Vatican trip was still there 20 years later for the 2000 trip to remember all the details.
Most likely if there was someone there in 2000 who had been there for the 1980 trip, they were probably in a very different position of authority. Someone senior enough in 2000 to advise on The Queen's wardrobe would have been a pretty junior employee in 1980. Junior employees aren't in those kind of meetings. They wouldn't have known what was being discussed or decided in 1980, so there wasn't actually a whole lot for them to remember.
Yes, there's a photographic record of the visit and yes, there's probably documentation somewhere, but those records aren't as complete or easily accessible as they would be if they were prepared today. And nor would that kind of documentation describe any discussions or decisions made behind the scenes, such as perhaps someone advising the Queen wear her usual outfit.
Here is Angela Kelly's story of the event recapped by the press for the promo circuit. Y'all can decide for yourself if it's a legit story by Angela Kelly or if it's a tall tale, as anon seems to be hinting.
And anon, if you dislike Angela that much, why are you following her on Instagram? Just unfollow her! No one's going to know.

Scott Weiland’s Solo Debut Expanded For 25th Anniversary
’12 Bar Blues’ will re-appear in two different versions this spring
Written By Jonathan Cohen | March 31, 2023 - 10:29 am
Late Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland‘s 1998 solo debut, 12 Bar Blues, will be reissued in expanded form this spring by Rhino in celebration of its 25th anniversary.
First up on April 22 (Record Store Day) is a double-vinyl, newly remastered set marking the first edition of 12 Bar Blues in this format. The limited run of 7,500 copies includes three previously unreleased tracks: an acoustic take on the album’s “Barbarella” and two session outtakes, “Lazy Divey” and “Chateau Mars.” The latter two were considered for inclusion on 12 Bar Blues until very late in the process, and even appeared on promo versions sent to the press by Atlantic Records, but were ultimately cut.
A digital edition of the album follows on May 12, with five additional unreleased tracks. One of them, a demo of “Barbarella,” is out today (March 31) in tandem with a new 4K version of the song’s original music video. The others comprise three unheard Daniel Lanois remixes and a demo of “Desperation #5.”
12 Bar Blues originally appeared while Stone Temple Pilots was on a hiatus following its 1996 album Tiny Music … Songs From the Vatican Gift Shop. It was co-produced by Weiland with Blair Lamb and features guest appearances by Sheryl Crow, pianist Brad Mehldau, and a trio of musicians dubbed the Magnificent Bastards: Victor Indrizzo, Zander Schloss, and Jeff Nolan.

Do you wish you could have seen The Vatican pilot?
Did you love The Thornbirds?
Do you fancy the idea of a "spectacularly handsome and well-built" priest (words from original screen play)?
This fanfic by @no-one-but-me, full of political intrigue and spice, could be for you:
[CW: very mature content, taboo themes]
Summary: A Catholic bishop becomes embroiled in a Vatican scandal, and is targeted by noble families and high-ranking Church officials who are determined to hold onto power--including a sultry Italian countess who won't take no for an answer.

Notes:
Ridley Scott directed the pilot (2013) for The Vatican, a contemporary thriller about spirituality, power and politics, set against the modern-day political machinations within the Catholic Church.
However, the show was not commissioned snd the pilot cannot be seen.
If only I could rewatch this one! This pilot was produced by Ridley Scott but it was never picked up by a channel. It has shown up on ‘Showcase’ in the US a few times but very few of us have seen it. SO - all I have seen are a few precious clips (that I can’t share because ... obvs) and some friends’ lovely gifs. Such a pity coz it looked GOODE. It’s about the ‘political’ relationships and rivalries inside The Vatican. It was a bit controversial, as you can imagine, and so was never commissioned as a series.
Matthew Goode plays Bernd Koch - a devastatingly handsome Papal Secretary. Because of course he does. OMG Matthew in his priest’s costume is a sight to behold that would probably send us all to hell for the impure thoughts. [Sorry - I don’t mean to offend you if you are religious - I’m a total heathen. But look at him! Friggin’ gorgeous.]
So sadly I have to pass this one over but if this ever shows up on Showcase again will someone PLEASE hit the screen record and share some bits under ‘Fair Use’. I will share some of the BTS shots that I have on file coz they are pretty gorgeous. Apparently I have 80 of them 🤦
A goode thing to come out of this job was that Matthew made an impression on Ridley Scott and that has resulted in a few more collaborations with his ‘Scott Free’ production company.
