name masterlist: love island uk edition ! some folks like to stick to names that are more 'realistic' & my favourite place to look for those names is reality tv, because... well, that's their names ! so here's a list of every name that's ever popped up on the uk version of love island ( seasons 1-8 ) so all these names are perfect for characters aged 18-40 if we're going off ( uk-based ! ) actual likelihood.
Remastered version of the original 1994 album with second CD of outtakes/rarities and DVD of Grace vids and footage of Buckley in Bearsville, New York.
AS GRUNGE lay flailing in the rain of Seattle, the last thing anyone expected was a bona fide prodigy appearing, messiah-like, to save the day for passionate melodic intensity.
But that’s precisely what Jeff Buckley did ten years ago. The fact that his legacy has been a regrettable line of mewling Brit impostors (Coldplay, Keane and their kind) should not count against him.
On first hearing Grace’s title track, time stopped as one drank in the miracle of its beauty – a kind of unbearable ecstasy that recurred throughout his modest body of work, not least on the sorely under-appreciated Sketches for My Sweetheart, the Drunk.
Posturing and affected as Jeff could be, music oozed from his every pore. The sweet pain of ‘Grace’ and ‘Last Goodbye’ remains, in these soulless times, an aural elixir for all true rock romantics.
Ten years on and remastered, Grace sounds more swoopingly lyrical and breathlessly eclectic than ever. ‘Lilac Wine’ is soppy and the take on Britten’s ‘Corpus Christi Carol’ mannered, but the soaring assurance of the rest – Zep echoes, Asiatic strings, Leonard Cohen cover and all – belies the album’s short gestation.
Eclectic isn’t the half of the Legacy Edition’s second CD. Here we have Buckley the chameleon, having a stab at Hank Williams, Nina Simone, Alex Chilton – even the MC5’s ‘Kick Out the Jams’. It all sort of works too, complementing two versions of ‘Dream Brother’ and one of ‘Eternal Life’ – as well as ‘Forget Her’, a sorrowful near-classic and this set’s ‘You Know You’re Right’.
Finally we have a DVD featuring the four Grace videos, a new clip for ‘Forget Her’, and a doc on the making of the album – complete with footage of Buckley and band working on it at Bearsville’s Studio A.
"I’m an easily distracted person," Jeff admits as he wanders Bearsville’s back roads in Ernie Fritz’s footage. "So this is great."
It was great. And it produced some of the most thrilling music of our time.*
Buckley’s mum, Mary Guibert, on Grace ten years on
UNCUT: How long has this Legacy edition been in the works?
MG: The hardest part was locating all the material. Because besides the famous Bearsville sessions, there were additional sessions held in New York. There were many, many takes of some songs, and there were some songs where there was only one take. Most of it I listened to as early as 1998, so it’s really been six years in the making, in terms of knowing it was there and choosing not to release it. The idea of including ‘Forget Her’ and using ‘Alligator Wine’ and some of the other things that Jeff wouldn’t necessarily have chosen for an album.
Why was ‘Forget Her’ replaced on Grace?
Well, that song came to him at a time when he was breaking up from a very important relationship [with Rebecca Moore]. He ended up not wanting to sing it every night of his life. I think he thought it would be a song that he would grow to hate.
Because it was too painful?
Yeah... and because it was no longer true. In fact he and Rebecca reunited later. It took a while to kind of figure out that maybe the two of them had some more growing up to do. Plus the fact that Jeff was about to embark on a life that would tear apart any relationship. He felt that they were too young to embark on a life commitment at that time, and he didn’t want to hold her back. But then we had a meeting with [Sony chief] Don Ienner in January and I said, I think this is really the time to release the track. I mean, it was all over the internet anyway.
With the remastering of Grace, do you hear the album differently?
Oh, absolutely. When we took the two-inch master and played it in the studio with George Marino, we heard a very different album. They used a lot more compression back in the early ‘90s, and it homogenised the sound. There are strings on the album that you couldn’t really hear on the original mastered version.
Is it fair to say that Jeff had a good relationship with Andy Wallace? It seemed like Andy was an almost paternal figure for Jeff.
Quite, quite. He was the perfect person for that moment, because Jeff was all over the place. It was significant that Andy came back in to the picture after the Sweetheart sessions with Tom Verlaine didn’t quite work out. I can remember Jeff’s manager saying, ‘Are you sure you want Andy back in? Don’t you want the album to be free of the artificial patina of production?’ And Jeff said, ‘Don’t worry, I got a pair of Size 12 Doc Martens and I’ll stamp on his wrists if I don’t like what he’s doing!’
Marina teamed up with world-renowned photographer Zoey Grossman for the visuals of her fourth studio album titled "Love + Fear" back in October 2018. Serving a clean aesthetic, this album is all about Marina's mentality and feelings. The good and the bad sides. The light and the dark. And this shoot represents it well.
Styling by Mercedes Natalia. Hair by Marissa Marino, glam by Katelin Gan.
For her hauntingly beautiful album cover, Marina wears nothing but a pair of the statement-making Gemma crystal cascade earrings by accessoriy designer Rebecca Minkoff.
For the second look of the photoshoot's black & white section, Marina sported the Amelie polka-dot ruffle trim bardot top by California-based swimwear label Vitamin A! She wore it with a pair of skinny jeans with raw hem by Levi’s.
Many of these photos made it into various magazines. This one made it into Vogue Greece! She’s looking fine in a Ganni ivory knitted sweater featuring 3/4 sleeves and a ribbed mock neck. Her Dusk belted bikini bottoms are by Australian label Peony, which you’ll see more of later.
She decorated her sweater with a Chanel pearl-embellished double C logo brooch!
In this shot Marina is serving us face while wearing yet another piece from Peony. This is their frill-trimmed crop top made from recycled and sustainable Italian fabric. It features thick shoulder straps and a shirred back.
Her “You Are Beautiful” pink felt beret is fruit of the collaboration between UK designer Mary Benson and television and radio presenter Gemma Cairney.
The amount of swimwear we’ll see in this shoot is amazing. For these visuals, which were used for the “Superstar” single cover, M sits in the pool rocking a black swimsuit with asymmetrically draped shoulder from “loose luxury” label Baja East’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection.
We’re getting into some color now. Here, the Welsh beauty poses in a white cropped tie-waist shirt which she wore on top of a Solid & Striped neon-green one-piece swimsuit with open back.
Her Cupido vintage-inspired gold-tone brass heart earrings are signed by Reliquia. Make sure to shop their stunning jewelry right here.
My favorite look from the entire shoot has to be this one! The lavender ribbed one-piece scoop neck swimsuit, our girl looks so good in, is by Topshop! But it’s the accessories that made it for me.
Firstly, Marina rocked a DiorClub1 visor from Dior’s Spring/Summer 2018 collection. The white & black structure is embellished by the "J'Adior" signature, while the transparent yellow visor recalls the colorful universe of the collection. The "Christian Dior" woven elastic is adjustable to offer maximum comfort.
Her shoulder-gracing teardrop earrings in gold & silver are by emerging jewelry brand TUZA.
The last accessory is this vintage Celine gold chain-link belt with Triomphe logo charm.
In this close-up shot, M wears a pair of vintage-inspired twisted gold hoops from Free People.
For the penultimate look (an outtake, actually!) Marina can be seen repping this Tory Burch Gemini black one-piece swimsuit with gold link shoulder detail.
So luxe lookin’!
Our very last maillot comes from Marysia! This is their Santa Barbara one-piece swimsuit in black ($325.00). It features a one-shoulder silhouette and a super fun scalloping detail all over. Grab it below while you can!

Finally, her hammered gold-tone drop earrings are from New Look. Unfortunately, they’re not available anymore.
Katie Boulter makes back-to-back titles as defending champion reaches Nottingham Open quarter-finals | Tennis news
Katie Boulter’s dream of a second successive title at her home event is firmly alive with a 6-4 6-3 win over British No 1 Rebecca Marino in the quarter-finals of the Nottingham Open.
Victory at the Wimbledon practice tournament last year kicked off an impressive year for the 27-year-old, which has seen him rise into the world’s top 30.
Boulter, from nearby Leicester, said after his win: “Being…
Panam 2023 🎾 WS F: Laura Pigossi [1] def. Maria Lourdes Carle [3] 6-2, 6-3 Match Stats
📸 Time Brasil’s official YouTube
It was a statement gold for L. Pigossi, as she overcame a possible slow start to be in control of most of the flow. Her aggressive, clean ballstriking allowed her to dictate the play from the baseline, constructing even more winners in a defense-to-offense mechanism, which often caught Lourdes off-guard in construction. Her depth also allowed her to win 11 more points on return than Lourdes, who had 6 unforced errors throughout the whole match. Even if Lourdes tried to absorb the pace and respond in her own way, it was insufficient to counter L. Pigossi’s already established level from the setup.
On the other hand, L. Pigossi appeared more solid on serve. Despite Lourdes serving one ace to L. Pigossi’s 0, L. Pigossi was still able to win 80% points from her first serve compared to Lourdes’ 58%, standing out right from her first serves. On the other hand, L. Pigossi might have double-faulted twice (one more than Lourdes), but she was 14% ahead than Lourdes, who had a 50% second serve winning percentage, which resulted in the Brazilian first seed winning 8 more points on serve as the match went by.
This gold medal marked L. Pigossi’s second gold medal for this year (apart from yesterday’s Women’s Doubles with Luisa Stefani), making it the fourth tennis medal for Brazil (gold in Men’s, Women’s, and Mixed Doubles included). The bronze medal was won by Julia Riera, who defeated Rebecca Marino 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 two timeslots before the gold final), which resulted in Argentina adding another bronze (other than Martina Capurro/Facundo Diaz Acosta’s Mixed Doubles) and a silver to their tennis medal tallies. Definitely a deep talent pool, where everyone is looking forward to seeing them shine on Tour and Paris 2024 as well in particular for the qualified ones!
Sabato 7 ottobre alla Galleria Rossini di Pesaro si inaugura 'Storia e geografie'.
Sabato 7 ottobre alla Galleria Rossini di Pesaro si inaugura 'Storia e geografie'.
Una nuova mostra alla Galleria Rossini di via Rossini 38, spazio della cultura inaugurato lo scorso agosto per ampliare l'offerta cittadina e offrire spunti di partenza per eventi, scambi e progetti di creatività nel cammino di Pesaro Capitale Italiana della cultura 2024. Come quello che inaugura sabato 7 ottobre alle 17: 'Storie e geografie. Sette progetti di Exhibit Design per Pesaro Capitale Italiana della cultura 2024', promosso da: Comune di Pesaro/Assessorato alla Bellezza, Pesaro Musei, Università degli Studi della Repubblica di San Marino.
Visitabile fino al 19 ottobre, l'esposizione presenta gli esiti del laboratorio universitario di Exhibit Design del corso magistrale in Interaction & Experience Design AA 2022-2023 dell'Università degli Studi della Repubblica di San Marino. Guidati dai professori Roberto Paci Dalò e Giorgio Dall'Osso, gli studenti/progettisti hanno individuato temi di interesse culturale, attivato reti di stakeholder, raccolto testimonianze e messo a punto 7 progetti di exhibit: si tratta di storie che intrecciano peculiarità culturali specifiche e sono proposte alla cittadinanza come riflessione cartografica sul proprio territorio.
Per Daniele Vimini, vicesindaco e assessore alla Bellezza del Comune: 'è significativo che uno degli appuntamenti di avvicinamento alla Capitale 2024 sia questo momento di restituzione di un lavoro lungo e partecipato fatto dai ragazzi dell'Università di San Marino del corso Interaction&Experience Design che hanno lavorato per mesi a gruppi visitando la città e le sue istituzioni culturali e museali immaginandosi diversi tipi di utilizzo di comunicazione per i nostri diversi spazi: la Pescheria, la sinagoga e Palazzo Mosca solo per citarne alcuni. E' tutta una rielaborazione che ha a che fare con il contemporaneo e ha a che fare con il compito che Pesaro 2024 si pone, di mettere insieme esperienze culturali e di studio, formative e universitarie per farle diventare parte di un ripensamento degli spazi della realtà che abbiamo attorno e della cultura in senso più ampio e della sua fruizione.'
Spiegano i professori Roberto Paci Dalò e Giorgio Dall'Osso: il titolo "Storie e geografie" rimanda chiaramente ai sussidiari di infantile scolastica memoria. A onor del vero potremmo aggiungere anche "educazione civica", un capitolo qualche tempo fa abbastanza importante ma del quale oggi non rimane memoria alcuna. Questi progetti sono stati realizzati in stretta collaborazione con persone che vivono sul territorio della provincia di Pesaro-Urbino. Di fatto sono loro le vere protagoniste e le loro voci, i loro sguardi, emergono in varia misura nella passione che traspare dai progetti. I nostri designer hanno agito dal basso, informandosi e progettando sistemi che valorizzano alcune delle sfaccettature culturali di una geografia territoriale che merita di essere esplorata.'
Questi i 21 designer coinvolti: Giacomo Albani, Luca Chiavaroli, Anna di Franco, Giulia Digiorgio, Mario Falasca, Giulio Mazzanti Dolci, Laura Facchini, Lucrezia Marcellitti, Giorgia Martini, Roberta Palermo, Sirio Procacci, Maurizio Raniolo, Rebecca Rizzo, Sara Seu, Alessia Tiberi, Alessia Tormen, Luca Trentalange, Valentina Ugolini, Alessandra Valentini, Luca Zanetti, Margherita Zotti.
