Music Monday: Eurovision, Retro, & They Might Be Giants

This week's music roundup brings you a diverse mix of artists making waves in the industry. From Eurovision contenders to artists reviving past decades, here's a look at what's hot in the music scene. Olly Alexander - the Years and Years hopeful takes to the stage in Sweden to represent the UK with Dizzy As a Years and Years fan myself I am looking forward (as well as crossing all fingers) for Dizzy. For one it's got that potential for the Eurovision standard, the song choice itself is something of an improvement. Most importantly we have someone we actually know. Good luck Olly  Watch https://youtu.be/lLNUj7kvn2w?si=9rOYpmLvns1Rsz7G Natalie Gray takes us back into the late 80s with a touch of Pink & Kelly Clarkson on new single 'Last Orders'! As someone who grew up listening to some 80's music (in private) I quite enjoy this song as it's energetic and has that real upbeat quality to it. From first appearances, or sound, It sounds like something from a movie soundtrack.  Listen  https://open.spotify.com/track/6KBs8PHrHh8RUM5TpE8ZEU?si=780c9ee3ae0c4497 Watch https://youtu.be/NNqNHMx8i_0?si=VGYqPUMrNRkZBV1d Palmistry serves up stellar remix of Past Life Romeo's acclaimed single "Sometimes, Most Nights" Now we all know that writing a song about a relationship with issues isn't easy but definitely full marks for effort. I like Sometimes, Most Nights because it has that emotional bitterness to it which takes it on a slightly darker path  Listen  https://open.spotify.com/track/3HDJAwY0YfYgPqQQjvFCXL?si=5492250951474b19 HIFI SEAN & DAVID McALMONT NEW ALBUM "DAYLIGHT" OUT 20.06.2024 WATCH VIDEO FOR LEAD TRACK Video for new track "Sad Banger" Watch https://youtu.be/TYJPpYD_tsQ?si=bRYXS-DTsFOK0XLm Quote a good track, not what I was expecting whilst listening to the song but I'm open to being surprised. Nonetheless a really good video for the song. A nice preview ahead of the album release  https://twitter.com/hifi_mc X (Twitter) Facebook THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS release new rendition of "Lazy" by Irving Berlin!

There are explosions and gunfire, it's all very macho with homophobic words being unfortunately spouted and the music is not great to listen to, although the action is okay at best and good for a straight- to- DVD film. Point Blank, despite one or two scenes, feels more of a slapdash effort, although I'd still take this over Breakaway. I thought Danny Trejo was a tall, huge guy so it was to my surprise to see him as tall as Rourke at 5.6''. & although many will be happy to see the female victim character not getting together with Rourke in a romantic sense, I felt her role was so minimal she did little in this movie, but to utter a few lines of dialogue. Rourke himself makes for an all right hero, as ripped, sweaty and looking very orange and he does show his badassery on a few occasions, although there aren't as many hits and kills in an action film that I've come to expect. Yet the film itself is generic and the plot is straightforward to follow. The scenes with the villains talking were mind-numbingly bland, the main bad guy is a gay stereotype, who is very flamboyant, Mickey Rourke doing backflips - or is that his stunt double? in one scene, there is what appears to be stunt guy double doing a roundhouse kick. Rourke plays ex-cop & mercenary, Rudy Ray, whose brother is the gang member of villains who take over a shopping mall and they are made up of escaped convicts. The film takes place in Fort Worth, Dallas where a bunch of innocent people are held hostage by a group of terrorists led by a madman of sorts and the lone hero comes and saves the day. I saw this film after I stumbled upon it as a recommendation by a guy named Justin LaLiberty on Rupert Pupkin Speaks Underrated 1998 post of his blog, and suffice to say, it's okay but rather middling also. A late '90s Die Hard action clone movie, Point Blank follows similarly to another festive-based flick, Christmas Rush starring Dean Cain and Eric Roberts.

Help (I Need Somebody) Help

AN:Hey everyone! Hope you’re doing well, here’s chapter two of my wrong number daminette AU. I had a lot of fun with this, enjoy!

Chapter 2

Damian held back an unimpressed sigh when two goons rushed him. Their stances were off balance, and he could smell the stench of alcohol wafting off of them.  A low sweep to their legs had both tumbling to the ground. If he had a dime for every lowbrow thug who thought they had a chance at beating him, he’d be richer than his father twice over.

It wasn’t his fault the brain lacking buffoons hadn’t figured out they had a snowball’s chance in hell to beat him in the seven years he lived here. Damian certainly wasn’t going to be the one to tell them different now. He needed some sort of stress relief after Alfred banned swearing in the house.

He flipped another grunt over his shoulders, an audible crack of a broken bone soon followed.

His mask hid a glint of amusement that was surely gleaming in his eyes, but he kept his face an annoyed scowl. The last thing he needed was word getting back to his father for finding pleasure in the suffering of others. Even if the whole reason they were out tonight, punching up a contingent of near brain-dead loons, was to stop a sex trafficking ring. It was times like this where he seriously considered the validity of his father’s no-killing rule; surely some scum wouldn’t be missed.

He whipped around to punch another man, nearly a foot taller than him and thrice as wide, across the face. Blood spurted from the thug’s nose as the behemoth fell to the ground. Good. Damian jumped back and flipped himself over to roundhouse kick another goon. Another satisfying crack, and the last of them had finally fallen to his superior skills.

Easy.

He waited for the warm glow of satisfaction after a fight well fought, but all he received was the familiar rush of adrenaline and the delicious burn of his muscles tensing for another go.

Unfortunately, all too easy.

Damian didn’t sigh, he was too disciplined for that, but the low-level grumbling in his mind, and the displeased sneer were all too indicative of his problem.

He was utterly unchallenged.

It wasn’t that he enjoyed getting beat to hell and back. He wasn’t a masochist (although, the same could not be said for the rest of his family, if anyone asked him (which, of course, they didn’t)). It was just… after three years with the Titans, constantly stretching to prove himself, pushing his abilities to keep up with those endowed with advantages he simply didn’t have, Gotham felt… lacking in comparison.

And with the Titans all but formally disbanded, Gotham was all he had.

Well… that wasn’t entirely true. He could follow Cyborg and Blue Beetle and join the Justice League. He had enough blackmail material on all the core members needed to vote him in if his father protested. It would be a welcome change; higher level threats and off world missions, if only there wasn’t the pesky problem of dealing with other heroes.

He would be the first to admit that in his younger teenage years his anti-socialness was a bit… problematic, but he’d grown past that. Socializing with the Titans had been difficult at first, but by the end he could say he was more than an acquaintance with them – even if he wouldn’t go so far as to call all of them friends. But even if he had gotten used to them, it still took three years. At least in Gotham his potential partners were all known quantities. Even if he disliked half of them on his good days.

“Robin, do you read?” called his father on the comms. He shook away his distracting maudlin thoughts.

He raised a hand to his comm. “All clear southside Batman, making my way to the roof.”

“Negative, Hood is already there. Red Robin needs help releasing the captives – cops will be here in fifteen.”

Damian bit back an irritated sigh. “I’ll be of more use-”

“Robin, that’s an order.”

The words wrapped around him, restricting in their resoluteness. He glared down at the unconscious thug and gave a swift kick to the side resulting in an incoherent groan. Gritting his teeth, he muttered, “Yes, Batman.”

His comm feed dropped off.

The resulting string of swear words he uttered in Arabic would have cost him two hundred dollars in the swear jar. Damian just didn’t give enough of a fuck to bring himself to care.

-0o0-

Damian didn’t slam his bedroom door shut, but it was a close thing.

Between avoiding his father, deflecting the inane chatter of his siblings, and dealing with the GCPD, all of whom were either corrupt, uncaring, or ridiculously overworked, he had been ready stab someone, repeatedly, consequences be damned.

And that discounted dealing with the inconsolable sobbing women they rescued from the shipping containers. The sight of dozens of girls packed together like cargo, most of them his age, if not younger, would be enough to throw even the most experienced off their game.

Damian lived through some truly horrid things growing up in the League. He killed a grown man before he lost his first baby tooth. Suffered through endless hours of training with painful consequences upon any sign of failure. He had been beaten, starved, tortured, and pushed to the extremes of what a child could endure, but the utter horror and disgust he was faced with tonight, well…

At least the suffering he’d endured had a point.

Rubbing a towel through his still damp hair, he collapsed on top of his bed with an exhausted groan. The shower did little in relaxing his tensed muscles, his bed a welcome retreat after being on his feet for hours. Reaching out blindly he grabbed his phone off his bedside table. Going to bed would be the better choice, but it was Saturday, so he didn’t really give a damn.

His phone flicked on and he was taken aback by the notification awaiting him.

40 unread messages

He raised an eyebrow. That was odd. Not completely impossible, but odd. He did have acquaintances who would text him, Jon and Garfield came to mind, but it would be one or two messages at the most. Maybe a missed call if it was something extremely important.

He unlocked his phone.

Tapping on his messaging app, he saw that the messages all came from an unknown number.

That raised even more concerns, considering anyone who had this number were people he should already have programed into his contacts.

This put Damian’s suspicions on high alert.

Cautiously tapping on the text stream, he began reading.

        - As long as you’re not an evil villain running around in a purple suit or a bitchy Italian transfer student I figure you won’t care about what I have to say

         - I haven’t slept in two days. My brain is buzzing. And between my insomnia and four years of repressed anger generated by existing in the same city as an emotional terrorist who uses magical butterflies to turn distressed people into monsters, I might come off a bit incoherent

Before Damian could stop it, a small laugh of amusement passed his lips. This person was either really high, or entirely serious.

His finger hovered over the delete button. This had nothing to do with him. The person admitted they were texting a random number to blow off steam. He should just let it go and get some sleep.

But despite the long drive home, the debriefing, and a shower, the adrenaline hadn’t left his system yet. And the sight of those women in the container wasn’t going to leave his brain for a while. Sleep wouldn’t be coming for a long time yet. Whoever this was, sounded, if not entirely sane, at least somewhat amusing.

Looking back on it, Damian didn’t know what the influencing factor that made him read further. It could have been amusement, or curiosity. It could have been sleep deprivation. It could have been the promise of distraction. It could all of those or none of those, or any combination thereof.

Or it could have been luck.

Pulling up the knitted blanket from the end of his bed, he settled in against his covers, and began to read.

hi i see you’re doing matchups!! i’m an infp 5’1 female that has curly/wavy hair with the color looking like pudding (think kenma from hq) and brown eyes. i am on the chubby side and i like retro stuff (70s/80s) i specifically like moomin and outfits. i am very leaderlike and prefer being in charge, but i am also pretty timid at times. i have autism so stuff like touch and loud noises can bother me and i tend to shut people out. i love theatre, film and the arts in general. i hope this helps!!

I match you up with:

Hashibira Inosuke!!

*Okay pig boy thinks he's the leader of the trio, he isn't though. But he's always going at the head.

*He hates loud noises as well, ironic of him because he's the loudest of the three!

*Touches, he reacts in a violent way all the time, but given it's you, he won't roundhouse kick you everytime you decide to touch him.

*Overall, despite he's crazy wild animal attitude, he's enjoyable to be with. Gets overprotective of you if you're intimidated by someone.

do u got any tidbits of Lyra's character/story development that you hasn't got a chance to reveal and would like to show in this ask? 👀👀

oh hella yea i do anon

i suppose this is less of a titbit and more of a psa i guess but lyra is pretty drastically different than the one you all know and love. i’ve gone retro baby, new lyra is much closer to my pre-tumblr rp interpretation than my previous swing at her. she’s less cutesy in and optimistic way, more cutesy but also an absolute brat and unashamed of both of those things. 

to elaborate; cutesy, cheerful, lyra who believes in goodness and fairness is still there, to an extent. she’s just been buried by the weight of her home life falling apart and several life threatening encounters with rocket. one of which was actually orchestrated by a double agent, a rocket who earned lyra’s trust and manipulated her into stealing several times before finally luring her into a trap she nearly didn’t escape from.

and that betrayal hit hard. so hard that lyra stopped feeling as though she could trust other people. so hard that lyra convinced herself it was being friendly and optimistic, that believing the best in people had made her an easy target, that even people she considered friends would take advantage of her if she gave them any of the love and kindness she was capable of giving them.

so she couldn’t let other people see how much of a bleeding heart she really was anymore. she had to send the message, loud and clear, that she was tough, hard, could take on anyone no matter how cute she might look. 

she got bolshy. once upon a time she would mind her own business, only strike up a conversation with people who seem interested. now she criticises other people on the street, tells them off for what they’re feeding their pokemon or the way they’re dressing. now if you give her an inch she’ll take a mile. you thought she’d only take one potato chip when you offered the bag to her? nah, she’s taking a whole fistful sucker. you don’t think she looks that tough? she’ll roundhouse your bag, or worse your own ass, into next week.she started smiling all the time. not a sunny, happy smile like she used to have. this was a nonchalant, self-assured smile that covered up her real feelings. she could be staring down an enemy, so scared she could hardly breathe and she’d still be smiling at them to try and unnerve them. drooping the facade means admitting she’s really afraid, so if she gets caught of guard, if someone makes her gasp or tear up, she’ll start to panic. so if the walls start to tremble, if she can feel her emotions start to get the better of her, she’ll explode in anger at a last ditch attempt to push them away before they see her breakdown in panic, see how weak and easy to hurt she really is. 

she’ll never be able to get rid of her sensitivity, her sweetness, it’s a part of who she is. it’s now just harder for herself and others to see it, it’s more heavily guarded. but if the right person comes into her life, one who can be patient with her but still challenge her, force her to take a good hard look at how she’s handling her emotions, well they’ll be getting a full look at the sunshine that’s still inside her.

Elder Island has been mesmeric with their neo-soul and downtempo electronica infused experimental pop for a number of years now, so the fact that the UK trio has just released their debut album The Omnitone Collection is joyous news indeed. Not only is the record a stunning sonic expedition, but its artwork matches its brilliance, crafted out of fictitious pieces of technology that the band designed, created, and photographed themselves, with each piece corresponding to its own track. You can get a taste of their retro-futuristic inventions via the new video they recently released for album single You & I, a resplendent flux of the band’s beat shuffling, taut skittering, yet sleek luxuriant atmospherics. Alongside the new album, Elder Island has also announced an autumn tour which includes a massive show at The Roundhouse in Camden. Their debut album The Ominitone Collection is available now, here.

“ A Youtube screenshot of a music video by the band Wares for their song Violence. In this scene, a young blackbelt in Taekwon-Do attempts to break a board with a roundhouse kick. To the right, a group of young blackbelts watch, waiting their turn. In the background is a judge's table. The original footage used in this music video, a video from guitarist and front-woman Cassia Hardy’s childhood, was shot on VHS giving the music video a distorted, retro feel.” -Jaye Kovach
