Kolinga - Legacy - a musical melting pot from Rebecca M’Boungou and Arnaud Estor 

“I wanted to talk about what I know best, which life from my perspective"

Rébecca M’Boungou is not unaware of the universal part of her mixed-race life - so many upheavals, splendors, melancholies, pleasures or pains present in this century.Kolinga tells much more than the musical adventure of a dark-skinned country girl from southwestern France who expresses herself in French, English and Lingala on a music which draws from pop, Congolese rumba, jazz, soul, song, hip hop...

Sum'one - Crazy [Official Video]

Sum'One marque le grand retour du producteur JustMike. Le beatmaker danois choisit ce pseudo après ceux de Dafuniks et Otis Stacks, pour lancer son projet plus électronique. On adore ce Crazy, et son gimmick qui a de quoi rendre fou.

Avec Sum'One, le producteur danois Just Mike ressort ses boites à rythmes et ses synthés vintage pour un virage électronique particulièrement inspiré. Il nous embarque dans un voyage dans son monde, planant et doux.Un virage musical qui s'explique par le confinement et un changement de vie de la ville à la campagne. Voilà donc “Crazy” sur une mélodie entêtante et un synthé bien gras, accompagné d’un clip animé réalisé par Antonin Herveet. Le titre annonce son EP Hello Vera prévu pour 2023.

Voici Sum'one et en premier extrait Crazy [Official Video] :

Best Underdog Regional Bird Pokemon Emergency Round 🗺️🪶

Round 5 - Final Match

Our Contestants:

This poll is part of an event that allows the early eliminees from the main tournament have more time in the spotlight!

I have no idea how this happened, but I found this discrepancy and don't want to just ignore it? The original final match should've been the second to last.

is it wrong of me to be super pissed that he’s charging for this streaming thing?? like i so appreciate he doesn’t charge much for his concert tickets and has done lots of free things for fans in the past, but like why make fans pay for this?? especially since a lot of us paid to see the movie in theaters already. i mean some fans bought fucking billboards to help advertise the film (not saying that was necessary or something they should’ve done or should be compensated for but like…) idk i feel like we’ve done enough to allow him to do this for free or like $5 per stream max. but maybe i’ve just gotten spoiled lol. he needs to just put it on Netflix or Hulu and call it a day. i’m tired of him saying it’s “me and the fans” and “all about the fans” and “i’m a man of the people” and “i want all of us to watch it together” blah blah blah and then charge $18 for a one time streaming of a movie.

oh honey you are allowed to feel any way you want about the actions of louis and/or harry. we are not a monolith and can have different opinions and if the fact how much he is pricing for this livestream is making you mad then it's perfectly valid. i very much agree. like i said, in my currency it's really a lot, it could get me clothes or food or tickets to visit my parents and back. and while i understand they want to earn money at the same time i'm like... please, lthq, do some research and maybe read the room. unfortunately, i think people will pay anyway cause that's the fanbase they cultivated - one that subconsciously thinks louis must be struggling financially so every type of support will help.

On the topics of Rafa being so…shaped, it’s hilarious how buff he is compared to like, all the other tennis players except for the new Spanish Tennis Star Carlos Alcaraz, who is also a unit. Most tennis stars are lean and muscled but those 2’s legs are like tree trunks my good

Serena Williams likes to tweet about how she and Rafa are “booty siblings” because they are stacked compared to everyone else. If you google that phrase and Serena she’s been tweeting that for like 10 years lol

João Selva - Passarinho - Brazillian music with European production (by Patchworks)

Brazilian singer and songwriter releases a new album of exuberant and vintage tropical pop music. Somewhere, we get back to the carioca João Selva where we left him: sailing on the mythical Black Atlantic to create exhilarating music whose vibrations invite us to Rio, the Brazilian Northeast, the Caribbean, Cape Verde or even Angola. His latest album, “Navegar” (2021), acclaimed by critics, is an invigorating dance and dream machine that updates the tropicalist revolution of the 70s by offering a turbulent mix of samba, soul, jazz and funk. Continuing to spread wings with “Passarinho” (2023), this time it is flying like a bird that the singer from Ipanema takes us into his musical universe, always as sunny as it is abundant. The 10 tracks of this new album span a generous palette of musical influences: from Angolan semba to Cape Verdean funaná, via Caribbean zouk or Congolese rumba – João Selva's music channels the musical pulse of the Black Atlantic. In the most (im)pure Brazilian tradition, he also digests the contribution of North American music and freely incorporates elements from elsewhere into the irresistible rhythms of Brazil. Prolonging a fruitful collaboration with french producer Bruno Patchworks, this new LP is full of sound nuggets and offers a wide range of emotions and sensations. 

All Tracks Written And Composed By Jonathan Da Silva & Bruno Hovart João Selva: lead vocals, viola, guitar and percussion Bruno Patchworks: guitar, bass, percussion, keyboards and accordion FEATURING: Carina Salvado: backing vocals Boris Pokora: saxophone, trombone, flute and bugle Paul Charnay: Fender Rhodes

#GiveCredit #WeAreMusic #BehindtheRecord well this year the date OCT15 came and went. I thought something was missing and I asked my vice-president what happened to the Grammy initiative to let everyone read the credits of the creators? "Shrugged Shoulders" was the response 🤷🏾 SO we at #EHRecordsLLC set out to created one of the most important aspects of the business! GIVING CREDIT to so many of the hidden talents needed to create a musical recording 💙 Many of my songs start out often two or three years before you hear them on a recording, often played live first with multiple changes along the way. The final has been #analogrecorded on #vintageequipment and microphones often twice some times ten times (rare) put thru a ultra rare #analogmix then yep you guessed it #analogmaster before it becomes a digital file 📀 Yes, I don't know how to do all those things but I'm a songwriter on a piano with 88 keys a whole orchestra in my head as I write each part that you hear... eventually 🎹 Thank You to you the musicians that have sacrificed so much to be great. I know your great that's why we hang so thanks for your hours of un-thanked work it shines through on the recordings⚡️ Thank you to the engineers that plug this cord here to that compressor there to the cool old thing here that shows up on screen that creates this thing that takes that down to do WTF? Thanks you guys are without a doubt interpreters of people with dreams. The best of you capture the magic of tortured musicians and it's a blessing to know how hard you have worked ‼️ That's just the #recording there's more but you get the idea, creative directors, photographers, DJs, PR, videographers, makeup, wardrobe and of course a vision for the music created in a limited time span that captures a spirit ⭐️ Thank You Again and see you #inmydreams 💋 #wantsomethingdonedoityourself #gratitude #imworking #notforgotten #thinkingofyou #yournamehere #mypeople #creatives #underdogs #risingup #underestimated #onenote #onedream #notstopping #musicmonday #womenwhorock #womeninblues #Bluesrock ⭐️ #ElizaNeals https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl0FA-tuHWJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We recently dropped our new single I Don’t Belong Anymore! A lot of love and craze went into our upcoming album, and this single is the look into that experience and the growth that we’ve gained through it! We slept on the floor and did not shower for a week in Malcolm Springer’s Nashville music studio! What a trip haha

TVOD - Underdog (from Victory Garden) Heard this band on Marc Riley’s show when Liz Berg checked in. Love the vibe. Going to have to check out more of their stuff!

[pucksandpower]

… and so it continues.

The way that Williams Racing has nearly completely lost the lovable underdog reputation they have carefully cultivated over the last few seasons in record time needs to be studied.

> MC ASPECTS < How you renowned around town “You make your own reality. And once you’ve done it, apparently, everyone’s of the opinion it was all so fucking obvious.” - Logan - Fucking - ROy

!!parental advisory explicit!!

MC Aspecting Sun - “rome, I think you're a super talented superstar and I love you” - Shiv Roy : Its hard not to notice you, you got a poise of regality, and you work the public sphere with ease; you put yourself out there and you get a lot of attention from onlookers - and it makes you one of a kind. you are someone with dignity and maybe too much self respect for some, to give you the credit that you do deserve > because no one does it quite like you - high key a dominant force in any room you enter - wolf of wall street vibes and lets be honest you are not above having a party at the office... and paying hookers to make it more cool...... you do the most and its a vibe vibe MC Aspecting Moon - "They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had, and add some extra just for you" - Therapist in succession You know how to put people at ease, and your basically a professional therapist at this point. You can lighten up anyones mood or piss everyone off depending on how you feel. And this understanding of psychology really benefits you; because people want to treat you right, so you can give them some insight as to why they have a mental breakdown every 5 minutes (this generations daily cycle) your like a dog that lives in a hair-salon and everyone wanna get a cuddle from it/he/she/thing/you

MC Aspecting Mercury - “Information, Greg, it’s like a bottle of fine wine. You store it, you hoard it, you save it for a special occasion and then you smash someone’s face with it.” - Tom Wambsgams When you stfu people are wondering what your thinking. because somehow. someway. you've taken control of the conversation, and whatever you say is taken with heavier consideration then the average person. However that does not mean you get your way, it just means we listen to you the most - easily the most valuable insight comes from you guys, and your perceived as. a hustler. no wonder your careful with ur words because you dont really care about getting the right answer in the known, if that ultimately inteferes with your master plan you'll just stay quiet - because you know how to navigate the world with words, and your aware that ultimately the final word - the best word - is the deciding factor of what we do MC Aspecting Venus - "Here’s the thing about being rich, okay? It’s fucking great. It’s like being a superhero, only better. You get to do what you want — the authorities can’t really touch you. You get to wear a costume, but it’s designed by Armani and it doesn’t make you look like a prick." - Tom Wambsgams Beauty pageants. Everyone is interested in you, because your beautiful and your graceful, and you'd make a fine edition to the list of exes that everyone has. So besides the fact that your fuckable, you know how to charm people so easily and thats why you get so much attention, and its positive unless your insecure about how attractive you are.... which is a real thing... and id say just get that plastic surgery or stfu and find some real solutions. i mean has anyone ever tried to tell a beautiful person, that they beautiful.... its exhausting... and then they just look for someone else (more beautiful) to get that validation. its a death trap!!! dont fall for that bs... but damn yo fine ass better get used to being a fine ass or someone gonna commit a crime on yo ass MC Aspecting Mars - "I got a track record from founding one of the most exciting new media brands in the world. And what do you got? Track marks from shooting junk? Thanks for coming down. It was great to meet you." - Lawyrence Yee Unfuckwitable - you embody the underdog - and i mean an under dog thorugh and through; youll bark at anything that pisses yall offf, and thats why people watch they step around yall, no one wanna get bitten by da big dog with a small dog complex. but your fierce and people try their best to match your aggressive energy just to save face for themselves - meanwhile your just more pissed off that you always gotta show yo teeth to anyone you talk to lol. Your competitive and act like crackhead that knows karate. everyone is low key intimidated by ya, and you know it

MC Aspecting Jupiter - "Most things don't exist. the ford motor company hardly exists. It's just a time saving expression for a collection of financial interests." - Logan RoyEveryone likes you, and sometimes you don't even understand why, and thats just another reason to like you. You show a geniune uninterest in any boring mundane activities > and this lack of care for bullshit makes it so that when you do show an interest for something > you've somehow convinced everyone in the room that your enthusiasm defines whats enjoyable. and this discernment makes others believe that your the new budha for socio-economic observations . I respect it. and you did it without even realizing, like thats a feat initself, and you guys are 100 feet tall in everyone elses eyes because you got a name fo yo self MC aspecting Saturn - "the actual fact is we're persuading more and more shareholders everyday that we offer them just a slightly better chance for them to make a little bit more money on the dollar…and that's all that this is…." - Stewy Hosseini The boss is here and now everyone gotta actually do something productive. you guys have respect, and people know that if they don't come at you correctly, then you'll correct it for them, and no one wanna be daddied by the king kong daddy. Your life is defined by hardships and this is the most noticeable trait about yall, and it has molded you into a gus fring. A stone cold killer. You don't have to say much but the weight of your presence in itself, is so much pressure, that everyone wanna ask for more time, but no one wanna be scolded by yall so we just stfu and deal with it MC Aspecting Uranus - "Nothing is a line. Everything, everywhere is always moving. Forever. Get used to it." - Logan Roy Who is they? who are we? why can they get away with acting like a complete fucking retard? Well they don't 'get away with it' they just fucking do it. I mean the balls on ya'll is undeniable, but the audacity and the concept of why. well no one knows and I don't think you do either. But you literally change the game wherever you go, because you do ridiculous shit just to make fun of reality, and it really does expose how much of a cult we all live in; since we all about our own rituals of bullshit. I applaud the audacity but everyone gets nervous around your unpredictable nervous explosions - your like a charged creeper; youve been shocked by something and now you just have to explode and ruin everyones buildings

MC Aspecting Neptune - "Climate said I was going down. Climate said I should just step aside. I guess I'm a climate denier" - Logan Roy You're imagination personified. You somehow write your favourite stories into reality > and you do this so uncosnciosuly thst you've somehow convinced everyone its real. You don't care much for whats actually real, you'd rather manifest what you want to be real > no matter whats being thrown at you (and theres a lot) you have a uncanny ability to be a energy conduit > and transform that energy into what pleases you the most. And because of this you appear to be a mystic. and theres a tendency to be very calm, and if life throws too much shit at you > and you've ran outta favours, its adios to the world. and the long road of finding your purpose again awaits! MC Aspecting Pluto - "Would you like to hear my favourite passage from Shakespear? Take the fucking money." - Logan Roy You are daunting aren't you. people don't talk to you very much, at least not any normal self abiding citizen. you look like TMNT - you look neglected > look like you ate some radioactive poison > became this mutant thing > and was raised by a rat that could beat your ass... how'd that go? you look great! I would shake your hand but Im honestly afraid your gonna bite me. Look your life is intense and borderline traumatic, I get it. but this makes you so mesmerising > you can have the whole room in a trance with your dark aura, and people just hand you power like its nothing. You don't even care tho, and thats what makes you even more powerful lol > if anyone can handle the dark. its you > and a powerful 'rep' requires someone who doesn't fuck around. and you do not

highly highly recommend succession > all the quotes used are from dat show - and its a fkn masta piece

Interesting that pop culture portrays Van Helsing as an experienced, seasoned vampire hunter, when it's pretty clear in the novel that this is his first go around with the whole thing, his first confirmation they actually exist, and in other words he's basically winging it and hasn't necessarily thrown a punch in his entire life (Which means he can’t just throw hands with Dracula, he needs research and backup to organize the perfect trap where they won’t be instantly killed). VH doesn’t always know what’s going on, he’s figuring things as he goes along; Like yeah he's HEARD of vampires, but it's never been anything prominent to him.

If anything, his past with vampires is probably similar to a lot of readers; Familiar with the concept, knows some of the details but not all of them, and definitely presumes them fake. He sees something going on with his patient and is like Haha damn that's just like a vampire, wouldn't it be crazy if... And then he slowly starts settling into conspiracy theory mode when more and more dots show up to conveniently connect, as he does the obligatory Protagonist Searching Stuff Up bit and realizes Mein Gott!!! It might be a vampire!!!

But then at the last second VH reminds himself, Now hold on, have I actually SEEN this vampire??? But it won't do anyone harm if I added some garlic flowers, right...? And then it just gradually escalates from there into full-on paranoia and dread that vampires exist and VH needs to desecrate the dead, and then he finally gets confirmation when he sees an Undead Lucy. What the fuck.

I think there's an argument to be made that Van Helsing was doubting himself just as much as Seward and the others initially did, if not more so, and he can’t even talk to anyone about it; So there’s an elation where you finally talk to others and realize it’s really happening, you’re not crazy.

This just ties into the theme of recording that which you did see, which is indisputable, because it’s evidence and proof. So you can be certain you aren't totally insane, and can distinguish facts from assumptions and theories if necessary; Especially when one needs to consider other explanations for the same symptoms. There’s a relief confirming what is and isn’t real to dispel self-doubt, like there was for Jonathan, who also suffered from Dracula’s gaslighting distorting his perception of reality.

I think all of this makes Van Helsing's actions and secrecy a lot more understandable when handling Lucy; If you hired a doctor and he suddenly started bringing up vampires, you might be inclined to think he's insane, doesn't know what he's talking about, and has read too many vampire stories and probably believes in 'alternative' medicine. Van Helsing still has an image and reputation to uphold here, and if it's gone, he can't actually be there to help Lucy if he turns out to be right.

That isn't to say he isn't without critique, especially in later portions of the novel, but you can kinda see where this underdog stance of "I'm right and the others around me are wrong" gets vindicated and thus develops into a bit of arrogance later down the line; Particularly, in presuming his disagreements with Mina to be no different than his secrecy with Seward and Mrs. Westenra.

In the end, VH could be described as a character who wonders if he's in the novel Dracula (compared to Jonathan who knows he's in a horror story of some kind but can't name the genre), but then has to remind himself this is reality... If this is a story, it’s probably just some medical drama. And when VH does accept he's in the novel Dracula, he assumes his character development and the lessons he learns are straightforward.
