#Richard Whitley

[movie-titlecards]

Rock 'n' Roll High School (1979)

My rating: 4/10

It's a 70s teen comedy, so of course it's rapey as fuck in parts, and if the script crawled any further up the Ramones' collective asses they'd be unable to perform due to all the paper stuck in their teeth, but I guess the soundtrack's pretty good.

Robert Fraser postcard to Joe Tilson

WHITLEY BAY, 1969, by Richard Hamilton

Original postcard published to coincide with Richard Hamilton's show at the Robert Fraser Gallery (London), April-May 1969. Based on an original painting of the same title from 1965, these postcard 'mini-paintings' were given away at the show by Hamilton and Fraser or mailed with invitations.

Original dye-transfer, hand-coloured postcard, printed on photographic paper (combination of screen printing inks and Marshall Oils), each unique - it is understood approximately 150 examples only were produced for the show.

Transcription:

"I'm showing some of Richard's things (he calls them "Swingeing London '67" and "People") in the gallery at 69 Duke Street. We're opening on April 15. Hope you can come. Love Robert"

Joe Tilson is a British artist associated with the Pop Art movement.

Colin St John Wilson was an English architect.

Who is the better written evil bitch!

Propaganda

Henry Stanford

Kills the father of the main character (Richard)'s future wife while disguised as him. Stalks, blackmails, manipulates, and sexually assaults Richard to convince him to become king, therefore securing his own power as his advisor. Worsens Richard's self-loathing "Demon" complex for his own benefit. Tells somebody that Richard killed her husband and gets her to target him for revenge. Gets pissed at Richard for sleeping with his own wife. Or trying to. Gets pissed at Richard for not sleeping with his wife also. (Really for finding out their son is illegitimate, but like. Come on.)

Gets Richard to the throne only to realize he's obsessed with him and wants him all to himself; probably gets him pregnant, and then tries to kidnap and imprison him. Starts an uprising to pull Richard from power when Richard refuses to run away with him and be his housewife. Gives himself up as a war prisoner and gives Richard no choice but to execute him, instead of going into hiding like Richard set up ample opportunity for him to do. Somehow is still charming and complex enough that Richard is genuinely in love with him despite all of this. I have a lot of feelings about him including both "I get why he turned out this way" and "I want- No, NEED to feed him into a woodchipper". He's also just a bitch and loser all around. Fucking guy.

Martin Whitley

Martin Whitly from Prodigal Son! He's the worst but you kind of can't help but like him anyway. He's also played by the same guy who plays Aziraphale in Good Omens and it's amazing how good and natural he is in both roles, whether he's being creepy or nice. Do I believe Martin Whitly is being the best dad he can be? Of course! Do I believe he's a ruthless murderer who would not have stopped killing without being imprisoned? Also yes. He's very scary.

College Sim Dump!!

Will I ever be on time for a follower milestone? Not likely. 😅

Anyway, as a celebration for 150 followers here are eight cc free sims all enrolled in university! Each sim has been enrolled in a degree program, had two skills set to level three, signed up for organizations, as well as gotten scholarships!

Should you use them feel free to do as you want with them but I've provided some information on each one below the cut 😉😉

And finally a huge thank you to everyone who's followed me! I've had such a great time interacting with the simblr community and it means so much any time someone interacts with a post of mine so... Thank you!! 🤩🤩🤩

A little about the sims...

Cassidy Whitmore (she/her) - Music Lover, Outgoing, Mean - Unapologetic, loud, and the mastermind behind The Whitmores, her and her brother's duo. A bit much to handle sometimes but a brilliant songwriter without much of a care for actually doing her homework, after all why write essays and answer multiple choice questions about songwriting when you can actually be writing songs?

Quinn Whitmore (he/him) - Music Lover, Paranoid, Good - Cassidy's younger brother. He looks up to his sister and has followed her lead thus far in life. His passion, though, lies more in the instrumental side of making music, and he's responsible for mixing songs that he and Cassidy work on together under the name The Whitmores. Good natured and friendly but overly anxious and tends to overthink too much. Actually does his homework, unlike his sister.

Whitley Miller (she/her) - Geek, Bro, Slob - The ace of Britechester's ESports team, Whitley's entire life revolves around gaming, modding games, and, well, more games. She's already completed several small video games as well as dozens popular mods for various games. Though some could say she's a little.. Unorganized, but who has the time to clean their room anyway?

Kai Māhoe (he/him) - Adventurous, Active, Squeamish - Britechester's all star soccer player, Kai is an athlete through and through. Outside of soccer he also snowboards and rock climbs, having gained himself several sponsors while still being in college. He's hoping to study abroad for a year and go to Mt Komorebi in order to reach the summit of the famed mountain for which the area is named.

Zoe Cho (she/her) - Art Lover, High Maintenance, Vegetarian - An artist who holds her opinion in the highest regard. Dreams of becoming an art critic but only after having her work featured within every famed San Myshuno gallery's walls. I imagine she wears contacts but unfortunately that's not a thing in the game so... Her natural eye color is brown. Member of the Britechester Art Society.

Blake Nora (he/him) - Perfectionist, Bookworm, Loves the Outdoors - You might recognize Blake if you've seen my last sim dump. His cousin, Jennifer, and him are pretty much identical. Blake was created by accident while I was trying to figure out Jennifer's look and personality. Anyway, Blake's a devoted student but rather than go on daring adventures like his cousin he'd prefer a good book and a small garden. He's a member of The Debate Guild solely to put it on his resumed, as he hates confrontation and arguing... So basically everything about The Debate Guild.

Averie Stewart (she/her) - Dance Machine, Hot Headed, Noncommittal - A dancer and cheerleader pursuing a career in theater, hoping to one day travel the world performing, never settling anywhere. Loves to have fun and hang out with friends but don't get on her bad side. Fun fact: Her look was inspired a lot by K-pop group dance practice videos. Member of the Foxbury Spirit Squad.

Gus Richards (they/them) - Self-Absorbed, Genius, Glutton - A medium with psychic abilities and an ego that's waaay too big. They're going to revolutionize paranormal research (so they claim). Probably watched Ghostbusters one too many times as a kid. On Foxbury's robotics team.

An Error in Judgment, Part 7

***

Deeks stood behind Callen, staring him down while they reviewed the knew information they had thanks to Eric and Nell. He was glad for the excuse to avoid any extra pressure on his back. It was to the point that even the brush of his t-shirt added to the fire hot stabs of pain.

In front of him, Tom Nelson still sat resolutely silent, arms crossed, lips set in an uncompromising line.

“Tom, we know that Richard Bamboat owed someone a lot of money and Sergeant Wiles was trying to help him. We also know that you met with Wiles shortly before he died. So, either we arrest you for Wiles’ murder, or you tell us who did it,” Callen said.

“You don’t have any proof,” Nelson huffed.

“Accept we do. Your cell phone was in the same vicinity as Wiles’ and there’s the fact your fingerprints are all over his car. And, we know you told Richard Bamboat to meet you in the location Wiles was found,” Deeks added.

“So, either you killed Wiles, or your partner did. Give us a reason not to arrest you for first degree murder.” Callen leaned back, tone casual. “Believe me, we can make it stick if you don’t.”

“Especially for a former member of the military,” Deeks said, crossing his legs at the ankle so he was supported by one elbow. “Kind of evokes people’s patriotism and all, you know.”

Nelson swore under his breath, sending Deeks a particularly nasty glare.

“Jefferson Whitley. That’s who you’re looking for. He gave Bamboat a $20,000 loan two months ago after he got drunk at a bar and spilled his guts about a bad business deal. Whitley likes desperate people. He gave Bamboat the money, then a couple weeks later, wanted it back. With interest of course.

“Of course,” Deeks repeated dryly. Nelson just shrugged at his judgment. “He paid me to track down clients, threaten to rough ‘em up if they didn’t pay up.”

“Is that what happened with Richard Bamboat?” Deeks asked. “You threatened him.”

“Bamboat tried to stall, managed to scrape together a couple payments, but he was late on the last one. He was supposed to meet with Jefferson that night, but some other guy showed up. He said if Jefferson didn’t leave his friend alone, he was gonna get the police involved. Said he knew people. Whitley panicked and pulled a gun, next thing I knew, Wiles is dead.”

“And you had absolutely nothing to do with it,” Deeks guessed sarcastically.

“Hey,I’m not a killer,” Nelson said sharply, like he’d been offended.

“Do you know where Whitley is now?” Callen asked.

“I ain’t heard from him since that night, but he keeps a second house in the garment district if he’s not home.”

***

Deeks rubbed a drop of sweat off his nose, leaning his forehead against the window as Kensi drove to the address Tom Nelson had provided. Callen was in the back seat while Rountree and Sam had paired up for a change.

With his vest on, it felt like he was trapped in a sauna, everything too tight and way too hot. If he said something, he was pretty sure no one would have a problem with him sitting this one out, but he didn’t want to give Kilbride further ammunition.

Besides, he’d worked through worse. Running across a hospital, which ripped his very fresh stitches open, for instance. Though of course, he’d been running on pure adrenaline at that point.

“Hey you ok, partner?” Kensi asked, and he straightened up with some effort.

“I’ve been better, but I’ll survive,” he answered, offering a ghost of a smile. Frowning, Kensi swept her knuckles over his forehead, her lips drawing down even farther as she slid down to cup his cheek.

Deeks peeked out of the corner of his eye to the back, but Callen was studiously ignoring them.

“Oh baby, you’ve got a fever.”

“God, I wish I had the energy to make a joke about you finding me hot.”

“I’m a little concerned that you aren’t.”

He shrugged. “I’m ok. But when we’re done here, maybe we can have a little date at the urgent care,” he suggested, and Kensi rolled her eyes affectionately.

“I’ll even spring for the good meds,” she teased.

“Best wife ever.”

They pulled up opposite a nondescript yellow house with a front porch that could have easily belonged to your average middle class family. Two sets of curqtinaed bay windows framed either side of the door.

Pulling on his reserves, Deeks followed Kensi and Callen up to the porch, while Sam and Rountree moved to the back. He waited for Kensi and Callen to move into position on either side of him, their weapons at the ready, then pounded on the door.

“NCIS, open the door!”

His announcement was met with silence and then a burst of gunfire. Deeks threw himself to the side to avoid the shower of bullets and wood shards, his back protesting the sudden movement. Kensi and Callen had both ducked beneath the windows.

Nodding to Kensi, Deeks leaned to the side and fired two shots through their window, before taking cover again when return fire shattered most of the glass panes. Callen took his place, firing through the other window, and then Kensi, wincing against the shards of glass flying everywhere.

There was a loud crash, and two more gunshots inside.

“Suspect apprehended,” Sam called out over comms. “Repeat, suspect apprehended.”

Grimacing, Callen and Kensi stood up, shaking off glass and wood chips. There was a small cut over her eye, but otherwise, she seemed unharmed. Deeks got up more slowly, his head spinning a little with the change in orientation. His back felt warm and damp.

Actually, his entire body was uncomfortably hot.

“Sounds like they got him,” Callen said.

“Great. Cause, I feel like crap,” Deeks croaked, and promptly collapsed.

***

A/N: I’m not sure this is my best, but I’ve been waiting to have Deeks collapse for several chapters. Before anyone should think that I’m making anyone look weak, remember, he has some infected burns brewing.

Firen Lhain: Chapter 1212: You Can Dance If You Want To:  Part I / III

They stood collected in the Great War Memorial, one that had been decked up with cloth drapes strapped to poles, hanging to the central gazebo. Ironwood stood at the lecturn in the back of the gazebo. Penthesilea stood to his immediate right, in a slinky, full-length, crimson dress. Cleavage to the point of nearly being immodest, with long gloves and high heels. To her right was Yang and Blake in similar dresses, of gold and black, respectively. To Ironwood's left stood the sisters-three, in dresses not quite as audacious, their colours a bit more dimmed, Summer in a-seasonal summery yellow, Sophia in a faint mauve, while Shantae had a stronger violet one.

In front of them, down, out of the gazebo was a long carpet, flanked by 36 seats.

"Sapphire Arc, Jaune's mother." Sapphire stated.

"Nora Valkyrie." Nora replied.

"Lie Ren." Ren said from beyond her, with a light bow.

Nora held out her hand, which Sapphire eagerly, firmly shook. Djed, behind Sapphire, seemed disinterested and spoke with Richard Woodcock.

"So, how do you know my son?" Sapphire asked.

"Beacon!" Nora eagerly exclaimed.

"We were of his team." Ren stated, and then after a brief pause, "He was - is - our leader."

"Exactly!" Nora eagerly eclaimed, causing Djed to turn to glare at her before turning back to Richard. Nora looked down with shame.

"He is not the one that decides the comportment of the wedding." Ren stated.

"Who does?" Nora asked, to Sapphire's dismay.

"Our leader, of course." Ren replied, and the colour disappeared from Nora's face. "He is hardly that harsh." Ren replied.

"Good point." Nora replied, and turned to Sapphire. "We were orphans. We didn't have anyone to count on, until Jaune."

"And Pyrrha, rest her..." Ren said, and his words stopped as he turned to look at Penthesilea. She seemed nervous beyond belief. Ren then turned back to Sapphire. "He has provided us with a home." Ren stated.

"A castle!" Nora exclaimed.

"A place we belong." Ren stated.

"Oooh, that!" Nora said, while Sapphire beamed.

Raven gave Whitley are harsh look before looking forward.

"My sentiments, precisely." Whitley stated.

Raven let out a light groan, and momentarily softened. "I'm still lucky to be invited."

A pregnant pause happened before Whitley replied, "Myself as well." Another pause happened, "I find myself in her absence, not - hating - her. Before her departure, I thought herself as... an adversary."

"That's what siblings are like." Taiyang said from beyond Raven.

"But, in her absence, I..." Whitley voiced, and paused, and looked forward.

"It's okay to miss her." Taiyang stated, and another pregnant pause followed. Whitley looked at him, lightly nodded, and then looked forward again.

"I will deny it if it comes up." Whitley stated.

"She must have really twisted your panties." Raven stated. Whitley turned to glare at her. "I like you." she said.

A pregnant pause followed, "Yourself as well."

"You don't have to say it outloud, but you need to say it inside." Raven said, and Whitley gave her a questioning look, "You want to be here." Whitley stared into her eyes for a moment before looking forward again.

Susan held her hand out her, and he strongly shook it. "Susan o'Onagh."

"Gaylord Soleil." he replied, causing Belle to giggle from beyound Susan.

"I have to say, that's a nice handshake." Susan stated, "I kind of figured, with being an... uh... what was it you were again?"

"Actuary." Gaylord stated, "That does not mean I do not know how to work for a living. Being an actuary does provide me with an incredible work-life balance, to the point I can manage other activities."

"Like what?" Susan asked, and Belle looked over from behind her.

"Like the extensive renovations of our hourse." Gaylord stated.

"I kind of figured you would be the type to not waste money on luxuries?" Susan asked.

"Far from it." Gaylord replied. "Balancing your expenditures allows you to engage in even more fivolous purchases without causing fiscal problems. Plus, the renovations significantly improve the value of our land. Should we expire, young Ciel will gain an exceptional bounty."

"If she doesn't want to keep the house." Marie said from beyond him.

"If she doesn't want to keep the house." Gaylord stated.

"But she is very well invested." Marie added.

"But they have frog girl?" Susan asked, and the two just stared at her for a moment.

Ciel leaned out from beside the aisle, "I was aiding both of my parents in their respective fields before my graduation from Atlas."

"Oh, wow." Susan stated, "You had your whole life planned out?"

"Planned for." Ciel stated, and sat back.

"There's a number of things everyone can do to ensure a stable future." Gaylord stated.

"Like what?" Susan asked.

"Investing, obviously." Belle said from behind her. Gog let out a joyful utterance. "What's got you so happy?"

"Oh, just - that - I - am - invested." Gog stated.

"You're what?" both Susan and Belle asked at the same time.

"I've seen you drink an entire keg." Belle stated, "You even drank Susie under the table."

"All - things - in - moderation." he uttered, his deep voice echoing.

"I think we should get in on this." Belle stated.

Marie handed something to Gaylord. Gaylord held a pair of business cards.

"Mother?" Ciel admonished, "Must you always try to solicit new clients?"

Susan quickly grabbed the cards, handing one to Belle as Gaylord turned to Ciel, "Your mother is trying to support your new life."

"Oh?" Ciel asked, and turned to her mother, "I apologize, mother. Thank you for supporting me."

Gaylord turned to Susan and Belle, "She's not the easiest person to support."

"Father." Ciel admonished.

"She already has everything planned out so well."

"Father." Ciel repeated.

"I couldn't be more proud of her." Gaylord stated.

"Oh, well, thank you, Father. If I am doing so well, it's because I have such exceptional parents to thank for it."

Marie reached her arm over Ciel's shoulder and hugged her.

Saphron strapped Adrian into his booster seat as Terra turned towards Sarah Arns. "Terra Cotta-Arc."

"Sarah Arns." she said.

Terra turned towards Saphron, "And this is my wife, Saphron, and this is..."

"Adrian!" Sarah said excitedly.

"So?" Saphron asked, "Jaune told you about us?"

Sarah eagerly nodded. "He wouldn't admit it, but he seemed to miss you."

"Yes, well..." Saphron stated.

"We both had jobs, so we can't just spend months visiting." Terra lightly added.

"And he already had three sisters visiting." Saphron added, "He loves us all, but all seven can be a little too much for him."

Terra reached her hand towards Saphron. Saphron grabbed her hand and their fingers intertwined. Adrian reached his hand out and put it on top theirs.

"You couldn't be apart?" Sarah asked. Saphron and Terra blushed and nodded. "That's so romantic." Sarah said with glee. She then looked over to Adrian, before looking between the women, "Can I?"

"He's strapped in." Saphron said giddly. Sarah stood up and rushed as fast as she could in heels to kneel in front of the seat. Terra turned to Sarah's mother. She reached her hand over.

"Rosalind Arns."

"Terra." Terra said, and the two shook. Sarah squeed as she held Adrian's hands and made funny faces.

* * *

"Selena Chauvin."

"Ulyana Bogdanoff." Ulyana replied, "I take it you are one of his many sisters?"

"The second one, after Stella." Selena replied. A pregnant pause followed.

"I am the contractor in charge of the renovations for the castle." Ulyana replied.

Stella let out and offended utterance, "And, he invited you?" she asked accusingly.

"She's with me." Taj stated, "Taj, Taj Rex. Ladies love it."

"And you are?" Selena accusingly asked.

"Their pilot." Taj stated. "Former military. Best pilot for hot extractions." he said with a self-assured grin.

"And why did you leave the military?" Selena asked.

"Because it's the military." Taj replied.

"If you are so afraid?.." Selena asked.

"Who said anything of the sort?" Taj replied. "My problem with the military is they want to control every - single - thing you do. With Arc Nouveau, I do my job fantastically, and they leave me to it."

Neo made sure Roman's hat was balanced on his cane before turning to Nalai. She let the Hound Knight smell her hands before she started to pet her.

YOU PEOPLE (2023)

Starring Jonah Hill, Lauren London, Eddie Murphy, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, David Duchovny, Nia Long, Molly Gordon, Sam Jay, Travis Bennett, Mike Epps, Deon Cole, Rhea Perlman, Andrew Schulz, Andrea Savage, La La Anthony, Jordan Firstman, Bryan Greenberg, Matt Walsh, Minnie Holtzman, Elliott Gould, Richard Benjamin, Hal Linden and Anthony Anderson.

Screenplay by  Jonah Hill & Kenya Barris.

Directed by Kenya Barris.

Distributed by Netflix. 118 minutes. Rated R.

There is something oddly old-fashioned about You People, even though it probably was meant to seem rather edgy. In 2023 it is not that unusual for people to fall in love with someone of a vastly different background, race and religion. Nor is it really all that necessary in the new millennium for a couple’s parents to be on board in order for a couple to consider marriage. Guys don’t need to ask the dad for permission to propose in the modern world.

This old-fashioned vibe in itself is not necessarily a bad thing – this is at heart a rom-com and doesn’t need to push the envelope completely to tell its story.

The diverse couple are Ezra, a thirty-ish Jewish guy who co-hosts a podcast taking a light-hearted and slightly edgy look at modern life and race, and Amira (Lauren London), an African American designer. The two meet exceedingly cute – he mistakes her for his Uber driver, and she thinks he’s a crazy carjacker – but somehow find a connection. Both have been disappointed by love and fall easily and naturally into a rhythm and then fall in love.

All good, right?  

The complications start when the families enter the picture. Amira’s father Akbar (Eddie Murphy) is a devout Muslim and totally refuses to engage with Ezra, and mother Fatima (Nia Long) is only slightly more welcoming. On the other hand, Ezra’s mother Shelley (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is smothering in her openness to welcome Amira to the fold and prove her liberal bona fides, and Ezra’s dad Arnold (David Duchovny) comes clean about his obsession with Xzibit and Pimp My Ride.

And do you know what? In the first half of the film, You People actually has some of the bite it was seeking to portray, particularly in a hilariously awkward scene where the parents first meet and there is consternation about Minister Farrakhan and whether slavery and the Holocaust were equally horrific. Some of the conversations between Ezra and his best friend/podcast cohost Mo (Sam Jay) also have similar bite.

Then about a half-hour to 45 minutes in, the film downshifts and becomes as safe as milk. This section has little more to say about race relations than the 1967 granddaddy of the form, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?

Which is a shame because there is some fine humor and terrific acting on display. In the first half, Murphy does some of his finest work in years because he was willing to rein things in and play the straight man. (The second half of the film, his performance loses some of its tightness, but is still mostly worthy.) And Louis-Dreyfus is a treasure in just about anything, and her mocking of clueless liberal overreach is both smart and funny.

There is a clash of comic styles as well as cultures, which leads You People to feel a bit disjointed, but that’s probably the point. Co-written by star Jonah Hill and Blackish creator Kenya Barris, the film has some interesting twists and looks at many points of view. Plus, it brings together such great old pros as Elliott Gould, Mike Epps, Richard Benjamin, Deon Cole, Rhea Perlman, Kym Whitley and Hal Linden, which is always a plus, although honestly of that group only Epps really gets anything worthwhile to do onscreen.

But in the second half it all just evaporates. Everything just slams into cliched rom-com mode, and honestly, I didn’t buy the late romantic complication for a second, nor the eventual epiphany.

So, maybe You People is the perfect fare for Netflix. You can check out the first half and decide at your convenience when or if you want to finish it off.

Rwby Catchup V7E10

Writing this after the fact, so non-chronological order: Weiss mom has a drinking problem, in the same episode that reminds us Qrow is trying to kick the same habit. To indicate exactly how terrible a parent Jaques is, she cries happy tears from hearing her daughter isnt coming back home. Whitley hates his sisters for abandoning him to his father. (great scene, great characterisation. Love it entirely). I dont ship it (yet) or anything, but i do hope they’ll join the same AA group at some point. Imagine the thrill of getting to arrest your own dad. Arthur is still sort of generic, but he’s earned a trait besides Smarm and Science: He’s a half-decent salesperson. Also a bit of a showman with a sense of drama. Innocents are about to freeze, and i’ll admit that i like seeing a businessman turned corrupt politician actually face accountability but i dont know if thats the writing or my frustration with the having access to the internet during the Trump Administration. I hope this’ll be the end of his character, he seems like exactly the type of villain whose presence is better felt in absence. (as in the scar on Weiss’ face is enough presence on its own, we dont actually need his presence that much. I might be wording it badly. Basically im worried they’re gonna stage a breakout scene for him and he’ll overstay his unwelcome as a character.) Neopolitan is back, and she still leaves me feeling as cold about her presence in the narrative as the icecream she is named after, but that’s largely because its hard to characterise a character who does not speak. (but then, her being a one-note character is actually a strength. The same as Wile-E-Coyote being one-note is a good thing).  This brings me to a little segment that I call “Richard struggles to figure out what the deal with Emerald & Neo even is”. Today on RSTFOWTDE&NES: I’ll openly but shamefully admit it took me verry long to realise that neo’s semblance was some kind of pseudo-illusion thing? Though at least some have seemed semi-tangible. In my defense her earliest appearances mostly had her use it to vanish into thin air so i thought she was just a teleporter like Ruby. Then when i finally figured out Neo had illusions, i sort of got confused and thought a lot of Emeralds things in the tournament where actually Neo doing that. I guess what im trying to say is its kind of weird for the villains to have 2 different illusion-based characters, and for one of them to have an “only one target at a time” limitation. like thats sort of weird isnt it? I might be misremembering, but did Maid!Neo talk to Weiss? Or was that a different maid who has been stuffed into a closet off-screen so Neo could take her place afterwards? Its sort of unclear to me. Cinder is also here, God i hope she gets a character besides “generic hunger for power” at some point but if there is i havent seen it yet. But its nice to know that Ozpin isnt the only one whose lieutenants can betray them at least, not much to say she’s still spending most of the plot looking ominously. Whitley crying on the stairs, This family needs more hugs and less alcohol. Robyn, you’re nice. I dont know what more to say. You’re the only character in Atlas i would trust to run a popsiclestand, Not a lot of deep going on with her, but Robin Hood parodies live and thrive by virtue of their simplicity. They finally tell James that Salem cant be killed and that they lied about the relic’s number of questions, i’ll admit i only ever understood one of those two lies. (They could’ve just claimed “ozpin told us she cant be killed/do you really believe that if she could be killed Ozpin wouldnt have succeeded a thousand lifetimes ago). Does this mean the tower is cancelled? Is operation “100 Shions at once” finally cancelled? NO because Oscar said to stop keeping Salem a secret, so that plan is still a go apparently.  The Penny and Winter Dont Understand Eachother scene was great, and i adored the moment Winter thought “oh shit, did i just pull a robo-racism?”. Verry “Pyrrha accidentally implies Jaune should jump off the roof” energy there.

Indie Country Music Up & Comer Seth Alexander Set To Release “Till Your Boots Are Dirty”

Nashville-based singer-songwriter and indie country recording artist Seth Alexander (Platform EightyNine Music) announced the scheduled release of his newest single “Till Your Boots Are Dirty.”* Penned by Nashville songwriters Danny Wells, Billy Croft and Richard Donahue, and co-produced by Donahue/Next Level Entertainment (Nashville, TN), the track will be available via all digital retail outlets and streaming platforms Friday, March 17, 2023. (Presale/pre-save event begins March 3, 2023; digital services provided by Ed Gertler/Digital Streaming Services.) Signature guitar licks keep steady time with hard-hitting percussion to drive home matter-of-fact lyrics that reinforce a storyline staking claim to a prideful rural recognition earned. The mid-tempo leads toward a dancefloor favorite. “I come from a small farm town in Idaho; when I initially heard the demo, it just hit home for me,” said New Plymouth, Idaho native, Seth Alexander. “Working a farm or a ranch is not a trend; you have to live the lifestyle to really understand it. Wearing dirty boots comes with the territory, and that dirt carries a lot of prideful weight.” YOU AIN’T COUNTRY  TIL YOU HELP YOUR NEIGHBOR LEND A HAND DO A FAVOR TAKE UP THE SLACK GIVE SOMETHING BACK YOU AIN’T COUNTRY  TIL YOUR FOUR-WHEEL PLOW BEHIND THE TRACTOR BREAKS SOME GROUND  AND STIRS UP SOME DUST  YEAH THAT’S A MUST YOU AIN’T COUNTRY TIL  YOU STUCK YOUR TRUCK, KNEE-DEEP OUT IN THE MUD WAY BACK IN THE STICKS THAT’S HOW IT IS LATE TO BED AND BACK UP EARLY YOU AIN’T COUNTRY NO TIL YOUR BOOTS ARE DIRTY The corresponding “Till Your Boots Are Dirty” lyric video will be available March 23, 2023. Track Info Artist: Seth Alexander Song Title: “Till Your Boots Are Dirty” Label: Platform EightyNine Music Written by: Danny Wells/Billy Croft/Richard Donahue Produced by:  Richard Donahue Distribution by: Ed Gertler/Digital Retail Streaming Services Release Date: March 17, 2023 Presale/Pre-Save Event: March 3, 2023 Run Time: 3:09 ABOUT The Oregon-born dream seeker moved to Music City in 2018. Within 12 months of Seth Alexander’s arrival, his day job landed him a chance to meet with one of Nashville’s respected producers, Richard Donahue. Donahue, who was a former band member of The Accents (signed to RCA Records for 12 years), transitioned to artist development and production. The two quickly developed camaraderie. The working relationship brought Seth into the studio where he recorded alongside the likes of Kerry Marx (Musical Director for the Grand Ole Opry), Catherine Marx and Tommy Harden (Reba’s keyboard player and drummer) and Tony King (harmony vocalist for Brooks and Dunn). Seth’s musical tastes were influenced early on by the tunes that sang from the car stereo of his granddad’s old red Datsun (Haggard, Jones, Keith Whitley, George Strait and Garth), and “cousin Bobby” who played at fairs and festivals, and carried Seth in tow. Seth learned to play guitar as a six-year-old on an instrument that his granddad bought for him at a garage sale. Honing his song craft, Seth took cues from Bobby and two of his favorite songwriters, Craig Wiseman and Jeffrey Steele. An active member of the Music City community, Seth maintains a steady writing appointment schedule with some of Nashville’s finest; he’s performed at notable venues including The Local, Live Oak and Commodore Grille. He released two original tunes in 2022 (“Millionaire” and “Neon Bar”); the corresponding “Millionaire” music video debuted on The Country Network. Read the full article
