30 Days of the Cornetto Trilogy Challenge || Day 22: A moment from your past that you would love to relive

I didn’t know how to answer the question so I’m drawing girls flirting with each other because I can. I don’t really have one moment, and if I start saying little things it would be a long eternal list with things like “I want to remember how this sweet tasted when I was a kid before they changed the receipt” or “Watch/read my fave things for the first time” and stuff like that

2016 VoicePlay fall roundup — projects galore, frequent travels, and holiday cheer

As summer rolled into autumn, VoicePlay just kept rolling on their various creative fronts.

While the other guys were cruising in the northeast, Tony and Layne were hard at work back home, prepping and filming PattyCake's first Halloween video.

.

California schemin'

Once the sailors were rested up, most of the guys headed for the west coast. They spent two days in Los Angeles filming collaboration videos, first with Kurt Hugo Schneider ajnd then with AJ Rafael.

On the upside, their absence from Florida meant that they didn't have to take shelter from Hurricane Matthew. Unfortunately, Tony wasn't involved in the videos (for reasons that would soon become clear) and was supposed to be on a later flight than the others. He didn't make it out of Orlando before the airport was shut down.

From L.A., the guys hopped up the coast to San Francisco to perform at a benefit concert for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation hosted by the Alpha Epsilon Phi fraternity at Stanford University. With Tony stuck at home, the fellas called in their old buddy Paul Sperrazza from Vox Audio to pinch hit as their baritone for the night.

.

Squeeze me in

After a few days at home, the guys hit the road again. They started with three days of student workshops in eastern Ohio.

During the week, they set their social media followers the challenge of finding them among the crowds of students and faculty at some of the schools. (Can you spot them all? The kids make surprisingly good camouflage.)

New Philadelphia, OH — East Elementary // West Elementary

Zoarville, OH — Tuscarawas Valley Elementary School

On the final day, they worked with the choirs from two local high schools, who then joined them for a show at Kent State Tuscarawas the following night.

.

From there, the guys headed south to West Memphis, AR for another concert and a workshop at the local high school the day after that. One crafty fan brought them homemade VP logo cookies.

Next they flew up to NYC to perform at a fundraiser for the Lupus Foundation of America.

.

Then they scooted upstate to Rochester for a show at Nazareth College before finally heading home.

.

Happy holiday-ween

Once they returned to Orlando, it was time to buckle down on rehearsals for their second year at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, so that they'd all be able to hit the stage running in November. (Layne did take the time in the middle of the week to have dinner with their old friend Jeff Thatcher and introduce him to Doris, though.)

The extra twist this year was that, on top of getting themselves and their backup guys ready to perform their holiday setlists, these performances would also be their next step toward formally acknowledging Tony's departure. He wouldn't be joining the other guys on stage in Tomorrowland this season. Instead, they would alternate between two replacement baritones, Erik Winger and J.None, who would continue performing with them into the new year, until the group could decide on a new permanent member.

.

No trick, all treats

At the end of the month, Geoff & Kathy announced that baby Castellucci was on the way at long last. They shared a short video documenting some of their challenging road to parenthood on Geoff's personal YouTube channel.

and baby makes three… er, five?

WARNING: This video contains footage of Kathy receiving many injections in her belly and buttocks. As a result, she engages in some pain-induced swearing. Understandable, but probably NSFW.

.

One of the pumpkins from the baby reveal was then repurposed to create VoicePlay's social media posts for the day of Halloween.

North to South (Carolina)

After a week and a half at home, the guys moseyed up to South Carolina for a pair of shows in Aiken, this time with Erik Winger as their substitute baritone.

A group of fans, perturbed by some negativity they'd been seeing directed toward the guys in YouTube comments and on social media, had been conspiring amongst themselves to counteract that energy. They'd created a book of positive messages and images. The two friends who had volunteered to collect and deliver everyone's submissions also documented the presentation during the post-show meet and greet on the first night so that all the contributors could see the guys' initial reactions.

The second day also held a few surprises.

It can be nice to have fans in the service industry.

Sing, laugh, and be merry

And then it was off to the races. VoicePlay began their second annual residency in Tomorrowland for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at Disney World in early November. For nearly 100 performances over the course of six weeks, they once again entertained thousands upon thousands of visitors to the Magic Kingdom.

.

Hardcore mode

In between MVMCP shows, the guys continued doing their other jobs. Among other things, that meant Earl was lucky enough to be playing Crush in the Nemo live show when iconic professional wrestler Mick Foley was in the audience.

Having a full cast of replacement singers came in handy during the second week of Disney World shows. VoicePlay had also booked a holiday concert down in Delray Beach for the Friday before Thanksgiving. So, while Winger filled in for Tony on the road, J.None and the rest of Echo took to the Tomorrowland stage in full force.

Eli and Ashley even left a day early and took a detour to attend a Carrie Underwood show in Tampa on the way.

.

VoicePlaying for Gamecocks

At the beginning of December, VoicePlay headed up to South Carolina with Winger once more for their last non-Disney holiday concert of the year at USC.

.

Bubblicious

In early December, some of the guys finally got to meet the British music blogger who had been singing their praises for several years when his vacation itinerary brought him to the Magic Kingdom.

.

Caroling we roll along

Their final video shoot of the year was also the final entry in their first set of PartWork videos, a gentle rendition of "O Little Town of Bethlehem". With the announcement of Tony's departure drawing closer, the other four guys were all featured in this video in their usual roles, and Geoff did double duty to cover the baritone part.

.

VoicePlates

As a fun little end-of-year treat, their pal (and former 4:2:Five tenor) Danny Alan stumbled upon some holiday paper goods that bore a surprisingly familiar looking design.

.

The guys finally took the last few days of the year to relax and rest in preparation for their hectic start to the new year, but those are stories for another time.

[citylawns]

Would you ever consider leaving London? I moved from London to Margate in Kent and I can’t believe how much better my quality of life is. I can afford my rent, and even have a small garden, I spend much more time outside etc. it was really difficult for me to come to terms with the prospect of leaving London, but now I wish I had left earlier. I love this blog and relate so much to so many of your posts! Take care of yourself! ❤️

Yes, but if I had the opportunity of moving I wouldn't want to stay in this country! Also the only things I like about this country (my friends, my history, places I love, the creative communities, job opportunities) are in London so I'm trapped here for now haha. I loved Dory's in Margate! It's such a cute place and I'm glad you realised that about London, it's really not for everyone and I have known quite a few people to leave. I hate when people talk shit about this city though, like when they say there's no community here or that its only rich people etc. I have such a different experience of the city.

Personally, I need a city to live in. I don't really find I need a garden or loads of time in nature to be happy (nature to me is parks and pavements lol), and the issue of rent is something I think needs to be controlled in cities because working class people need a decent quality of life here, and people deserve to not have their communities uprooted. Gentrification has been killing every working class London neighbourhood. I see how moving out of London is a practical, but I would never leave here voluntarily. If I was, like many people are, forced to leave London because of rent prices I would be absolutely devastated. I get why people see moving out of the city as a viable option for happiness, but so many of us have homes and lives and communities here, that the solution to high rent cant be destroying our lives! That's what the Conservative government wants, the neoliberal attitude introduced by Margaret Thatcher has been devastating us for decades and I always feel anger when people (not you, but others) have said to me "just leave London" like the city is the problem - I've never once said I was unhappy in this city or that it was part of my struggles, people have always inferred/projected that - instead of the way the country is being governed or that its the individuals responsibility to change and upheave their lives.

But yeah, no cities are cheap and London has always been my home. I guess that's it, that I can't really comprehend moving because I feel at home? Not everyone feels such an affinity with where they are born, but I do. I think if I had been born elsewhere I'd come here. I wonder if the 10 years I was away not living in London that were the worst years of my life made me long for it more. I'd love to live in New York, Paris, San Francisco, Hanoi, Tokyo, etc but that's not on the cards for me. Never say never and I hope my prospects change radically in the next few years lol, but those are the only places I am drawn to. I have considered Toronto because it's got a music scene, but having spoken to friends in bands from that scene its not anything to move for. I just know my world and life would collapse if I left everything I've worked so hard to build for myself here, all the roots I've got here. If I was just interested in writing and didn't socialise or have any aspirations in fashion, photography or music I actually think I'd still be in a city.

I love being able to leave my flat and walk to 3 or 4 different independent bookshops and the most amazing secondhand bookshops. I love that I can be in the same city but feel in an entirely different place and still get home in the evening. I love feeling loyal to the area of London I've spent so many years in. I love all the different food and cuisines I can get here. I love all the different people and cultures I can meet. I hated being away from multiculturalism when I lived in a British seaside town. Maybe one day London will feel too small to me, it's definitely possible because I've spent almost 20 years here, but hopefully if and when that happens I'll be in a position to move to another country. I think if I left, in some ways it would just be a way of prolonging coming back. So ultimately, if I was able to yes I'd move to a different city but for the experience because I choose to sacrifice financial security for pursuing a creative metropolitan lifestyle (which has got harder because of David Cameron, George Osborne, Theresa May and Rishi Sunak etc), but London is always going to be my home.

Namjoon - Nicholas Angel take no bullshit attitude, holds a grudge and will make it petty. classic witty one-liners that people quote years later. loves plants. always looking for the truth. good-lawful. wouldn't say no to a cornetto. idk about guns but i bet he could ride a horse. certainly no problems with bikes. remembers EVERYTHING. always has a backup plan, small circle of friends but he loves them to the moon and back. looks kinda dangerous sometimes, that stare...yanno?

Park Jimin - Doris Thatcher a FLIRT. a PERSONALITY. small and scrappy. Sandford’s It Girl. everyone loves doris just like everyone loves jimin. great smile, proud of his chest just like doris. will always laugh over an innuendo. looks like a cinnamon roll but will kill you.

Kim Taehyung - Tim Messenger very sweet, makes little mistakes sometimes and that's ok cause he’s just adorable. thinks outside the box. v concerned about honesty. looks at the bigger picture and no one really gets what's happening until it's over. always on the money despite seemingly unaware of the world around him. wanna put him in my pocket

Jungkook - Danny Butterman v endearing. surprisingly capable at everything even though you thought he wasn't listening during the briefing. likes manly men and cool things and superheros. highkey 12 years old in a 25 year old body. really really in love with Nicholas Angel/Namjoon. loyalty to those he loves. good at impressions. loves ice cream, looks cute in a cowboy hat. has that vacant expression sometimes and u know he’s daydreaming about something utterly bizarre

Fil di Ferro: Torino fucina metallica

Contesto

Il 1979 è un anno denso di avvenimenti come lo sono pochi altri. Avvenimenti quasi tutti di pesante impatto globale e gravidi di conseguenze per il periodo a venire. Già il 1° gennaio, il riconoscimento della Cina comunista da parte degli Stati Uniti, lo scambio di ambasciatori tra Whashington e Pechino.

Cambia tutto tra le due sponde del Pacifico. Il 7 gennaio cade in Cambogia il regime di Pol Pot, uno dei più sanguinari della storia recente. Un poco più a Ovest, in Iran, il giorno 17 prende invece il potere un leader religioso rientrato da un lungo esilio a Parigi, Ruhollah Khomeini.

In Italia

In Italia il 1979 avviene l’assassinio del giornalista Mino Pecorelli, che ha voluto mettere il naso nei segreti di certe banche e della massoneria. L’incriminazione del governatore della Banca d’Italia Paolo Baffi e l’arresto del direttore generale Mario Sarcinelli per interesse privato in atti d’ufficio (accusa che poi cadrà).

Il delitto dell’avvocato Giorgio Ambrosoli liquidatore della banca di Michele Sindona. Arresto dei brigatisti Valerio Morucci e Adriana Faranda coinvolti nel caso Moro. Morte in un incidente aereo a Forlì del re dei cereali Serafino Ferruzzi. La fine del sequestro di Fabrizio De André e Dori Ghezzi, rapiti in Sardegna quattro mesi prima.

Per ricordare un fatto che ha tenuto a lungo le prime pagine dei giornali e che avrà echi negli anni successivi si deve tornare al 7 aprile. Un magistrato di Padova, Pietro Calogero, lancia una grande offensiva giudiziaria contro Autonomia operaia.

Tra gli arrestati figurano docenti universitari, intellettuali, giornalisti. Spicca il nome del professor Antonio Negri, Toni Negri. Gli inquisiti sono centinaia.

Nel 13 marzo nasce lo Sme, Sistema monetario europeo, antenato della valuta unica di oggi. Margareth Thatcher si prepara alla elezione del suo primo parlamento.

In questo contesto nascono i Fil di ferro

Storia del gruppo

I Fil di ferro sono un gruppo heavy metal italiano, formatosi a Torino nel 1979 per iniziativa del bassista Bruno Gallo Balma e del batterista Michele De Rosa.

La band è considerata, insieme a Vanadium, Strana Officina, Death SS e Bulldozer, una delle prime ad aver portato la musica metal in Italia, nonché una delle più importanti dello stesso.

Michele De Rosa e Bruno Gallo hanno formato il gruppo con il chitarrista Danilo Ghiglieri e il cantante Leonardo Fiore. Nel 1986 (dopo un demo tape del 1984 e numerosi concerti che danno una certa notorietà al gruppo) esce il primo album, Hurricanes, pubblicato da Il Discotto Records. Questo album viene registrato con il nuovo cantante Sergio Zara e il nuovo chitarrista Claudio De Vecchi.

Il titolo Hurricanes proviene dal nome del gruppo biker di cui facevano parte sia Michele De Rosa sia Bruno Gallo. Il disco è stato registrato da Beppe Crovella (tastierista degli Arti e Mestieri).

Nel 1987 per l’etichetta dischi Noi, con la produzione esecutiva di Mariano Schiavolini (ex membro del gruppo rock progressivo Celeste), i Fil di ferro registrano il loro secondo album, omonimo, che vede l’entrata del nuovo chitarrista Miky Fiorito, autore di tutti i brani del disco, arrangiati con il resto del gruppo.

Le registrazioni vengono effettuate in Cornovaglia con Guy Bidmead, ingegnere del suono di Rod Stewart e Motörhead. I Fil di ferro tengono anche un concerto presso l’Hammersmith Apollo di Londra, trasmesso dalla televisione italiana su Italia 1 nel programma Rock a mezzanotte.

La performance viene registrata e inclusa nella compilation Italian rock invasion.

Nel 1991 Sergio Zara è uscito dai Fil di ferro, lasciando il posto alla voce femminile di Giordy (Elisabetta Di Giorgio), con la quale la band ha registrato la ballata Give me your hand e girato un video clip per il mercato russo.

Nel 1992 per l’etichetta Axis Records è uscito il terzo album, Rock Rock Rock che vede la partecipazione del chitarrista russo Victor Zinchuk e di Roberta Bacciolo delle Funky Lips in veste di ospiti. In esso è stato ripreso Give me your hand registrata precedentemente da Giordy come singolo.

L’album ha presentato caratteristiche più hard rock/blues rispetto ai primi due lavori e vede Miky Fiorito anche nel ruolo di cantante. Nello stesso anno si è verificata la fine della collaborazione, durata quasi un anno, con Giordy.

Nel 1997 è entrato nel gruppo Piero Leporale alla voce, mentre il 1998 è tempo dell’ingresso di Francesco Barbierato al basso.

Nel 2004 esce a distanza di dodici anni dal lavoro precedente il quarto album, It Will Be Passion. Il disco è un rifacimento di vecchi brani e nuovi inediti.

Nel 2008 il gruppo cambia ancora formazione: escono dalla formazione Fiorito, Leporale e Barbierato, sostituiti da Gianni Castellino al basso, Alex Verando alla chitarra e Phil Arancio alla voce. Nel 2009 entrano in formazione Gianluca “Yes” Uccheddu alla chitarra al posto di Alex e Elvis Taberna al posto di Phil Arancio.

Con questa nuova formazione il gruppo ha abbandonato l’hard rock blues del terzo e quarto album ritornando ad un più duro heavy metal di stampo Saxon/Judas Priest che ha caratterizzato la band nei primi due album.

Nel settembre del 2012 è uscito It’s Always time, album contenente il rifacimento di Hurricanes con la nuova formazione, tre inediti e dodici brani tratti dai dischi più significativi.

In occasione del festival Acciaio italiano 2015, tenutosi a Modena il 31 gennaio 2015, si è verificato il ritorno alla voce di Phil in sostituzione di Elvis Taberna, che ha dovuto abbandonare il gruppo per motivi di salute. Elvis è rimasto nel giro Fil di ferro con mansioni amministrative.

Dopo pochi mesi nuovo cambio di formazione riguardante la voce: entra Paola Goitre al posto di Phil, con la quale sono in programma vari lavori live e in studio.

A inizio 2017 ritorna in formazione il chitarrista Miky Fiorito, il quale si mette subito al lavoro per comporre le canzoni che faranno parte del sesto album del gruppo. I riff di chitarra questa volta hanno un piglio epico ed è a seguito di queste nuove sonorità che nasce l’idea del concept album intitolato Wolfblood, che narra della mitologia nordica del RagnaRock, anche per via dei testi a tema ideati da Paola Goitre. Il nuovo lavoro viene pubblicato a ottobre del 2019.

Her name is Doris and she lives in Bradford... Hans Zimmer is one of Hollywood's most sought after composer's - he's worked on over 500 projects in film and tv from blockbuster movies to documentaries like the Frozen Planet. Even if you don't know his name, you will have heard his music. Of course there are many factors to his success, such as his outstanding talent and being good to work with, but one thing really jumped out at me whilst watching Hans Zimmer: Hollywood Rebel. He has a client avatar and for every movie score he composes he asks "what would Doris think?" His avatar comes from when he was playing working men's clubs in northern England in a band he joined after leaving school. In his words: "We were the entertainment nobody listened to. We were so bad. Up north, We would be the support act to the stripper. And it was interesting because it was the 80s and it was Margaret. Thatcher and it was coal miners strike. Woh, it was rough up north. People were so frustrated. You know you left London and you entered another world, entered another country and this country was a country that was desperate and it was poor, and it was everything that you could only imagine of the left behind and of the forgotten. And to this day I have this person I write my music for, and she's fictitious. She's called Doris and she lives in Bradford, and she has a great coat, and you know uncertain age. She's got two terrible boys, I mean they are so Ill behaved and her hair dye job isn't very good, you know and she works really hard throughout the week. And come the weekend she has a choice. She has a choice of going to the pub, having a drink, or she has a choice for coming and seeing one of our movies. And she's a hero to me because she works hard. And so when she comes to see one of our movies, I want to make sure that she gets her money's worth. And I promise you I mean, every movie I sit there and I go what would Doris think?" Who is your hero? Who is your Doris?

30 Days of the Cornetto Trilogy Challenge ||  Day 28: Anything you would change?

Ok so I wouldn’t really change anything about the movies cause I believe* in accepting the things as they are instead of what they could be, cause if not you would never like anything, just their potential, BUT....... gosh I wish the girls were written with as much love and care as the guys and had more screentime >_> Twe and Hot fuzz specially is like there is not even a lot of secondary girl characters. Sam is literally the only human woman in Newton Haven pls. 

Anyway there is a lack of charas that arent white cishet guys in general, and I’m glad in stuff that Pegg and Wright did later there is a bit more of variety. 

Also I know angelbutter is canon but I wish it was canon-canon extra canon do u feel me

*I believe in theory sadly in practice is harder
