Aca Top 10: Summer Hits 2015 — VoicePlay music video

VoicePlay had kicked off their "Aca Top 10" series with the hits of summer 2014, and the next year gave them just as much good fodder to draw from. Their continued busy schedule provided the same impetus for another medley they could record in a way that didn't require much editing, but that doesn't mean they cut corners on their musicality or the party vibes.

Details:

title: Aca Top 10 — Summer Hits 2015

original songs / performers: "Time of Our Lives" by Pitbull & Ne-Yo; [0:23] "Want To Want Me" by Jason Derulo; [0:40] "Honey, I'm Good" by Andy Grammer; [0:56] "Sugar" by Maroon 5; [1:09] "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten; [1:20] "Bad Blood" by Taylor Swift, featuring Kendrick Lamar; [1:30] "See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth; [1:40] "Watch Me" by Silentó; [1:52] "Can't Feel My Face" by The Weeknd; [2:07] "Shut Up and Dance" by Walk the Moon

written by: "Time of Our Lives" by Armando "Pitbull" Pérez, Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, Henry "Cirkut" Walter, Shaffer "Ne-Yo" Smith, Vinay Rao, Stephan Taft, & Michael "Freakin" Everett; "Want To Want Me" by Jason Derulo, Ian Kirkpatrick, Samuel Denison Martin, Lindy Robbins, & Mitch Allan; "Honey, I'm Good" by Andy Grammer & Nolan Sipe; "Sugar" by Mike Posner, Adam Levine, Joshua "Ammo" Coleman, Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, Jacob Kasher Hindlin, & Henry "Cirkut" Walter; "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten & Dave Bassett; "Bad Blood" by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Karl "Shellback" Schuster, & Kendrick Lamar; "See You Again" by Cameron "Wiz Khalifa" Thomaz, Charlie Puth, Justin "DJ Frank E" Franks, Andrew Cedar, Dann Hume, Josh Hardy, & Phoebe Cockburn; "Watch Me" by Ricky "Silentó" Hawk & Timothy Mingo; "Can't Feel My Face" by Ali Payami, Savan Kotecha, Max Martin, Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye, & Peter Svensson; "Shut Up and Dance" by Ben Berger, Eli Maiman, Ryan McMahon, Nicholas Petricca, Kevin Ray, & Sean Waugaman

arranged by: Geoff Castellucci

release date: 3 September 2015

My favorite bits:

the cool percussion riff Layne puts in as a radio edit during "Time of Our Lives"

the breakdown moment in "Honey, I'm Good"

Tony's fantastic side-eye as he sips his coffee during Earl's solo on the first two lines of "Bad Blood"

Eli leaning on Earl's shoulder, and Geoff and Layne gazing fondly at each other during "See You Again"

once again giving the most attention-seeking lyrics to Tony, who's actually quite shy (but performs it well, nevertheless)

Geoff's concerned expression as he makes sure that he can, in fact, feel his face

everyone else cutting out the first time Tony sings ♫ "shut up and dance with me" ♫

Layne gleefully tossing the final sign at the end of a successful take

Trivia:

A full arrangement of "Shut Up and Dance" was part of the Disney Sessions collaborations VoicePlay did with the cast of Newsies as part of the 20th anniversary celebration for Disney On Broadway earlier in the year.

They also included a snippet of "Bad Blood" in their Patreon launch video.

It seems as though the arrangement process happened about a month before they released the video, possibly during their downtime on a cruise ship.

Has anyone else had a big hooker bug die off? Everytime @nasa shoots a rocket I lose about half a cup of bio-material. Yesterday gold dust was spouting out of me like a mica beach. I look like a California river gold rush after those rocket launches. Is there anyway we can cure sex Addictions with hookers? I just say no. My understanding is @donaldtrump will be arrested for spreading Syphalis in Fairfield, Iowa with Vivek hookers and China will be charged as well as all the secret Service men. Theyre scared. My brother, x and Elon will likely be complicit as his tech PR #RewindAI slaves. Dr. Sunil Rawal was kidnapped for creation of dumb memes. No one liked the @davidlynch terrorism of our artists. Maharishi made a mistake leaving tm.org to a man that's essentially bought out by hookers 30+ years younger than him. They're trying to force this old man model on the rest of us! There's a reason why Dr. Jill Biden is hooking for a new husband. That nanny model- like Alexandria Martinex Devasier Taft - that seduces Billionaires for step daddy judges and attys is out! We found the #Epstein of our family. My uncle atty Jim Mahoney likely raped my brother and his eldest son James. James joined the army and when my mother referred him to tm.org Deborah Ponneman of dress for Success in Chicago- did a bait abd switch- and taught him Art Of Living. That's the hookers plagiarized technique that doesn't work! There's no blessings of the Gurus or lineage. @joshradnor sintered up with a pseudo Guru and has had worst luck! I told him I wouldn't marry him unless he fixed his meditation practice abd educated Jews about violence of circumcision. Josh failed to do this and was too squeamish to assist us in court other than a song. I really think he was trying to hook me for his boss Joe Sachs of ER. Gross Jewish attys felt their @himym-life-lessons story line was more important than my kids? Please remove me from @himymthings-blog hit list! We would never marry any man that was greenwashing baby factories and pedophilia through poisoning moms! Sad that Josh is in a cinservatirship from a Spin Dr. It's not his fault. Likely his father raped him and colleagues as they're terrorising @elonmuskfans and celebrity friends with prostitution scam. Please don't let your kids or wives on porn x while they're pimping globe. @cobie-smulders-sanctuary Hopefully @elonmuskfans will fix it today. In meantime could you raise $500t for our mommy charity for the murders in political wars since? Thankyou Mamma Goddesses! We need to rise since our pilots are raped blind. Someone's gotta fly. Moms need own spaceships and 99% of @nasa budget for our success. Astronauts dicks fell off and Stirling Men's group lost their dicks. War is over! Hallelujah! Can we get our kids now?

THE NHL DRAFT AND THE NEW YORK RANGERS

By: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings HARTFORD, CT - On paper, anyway, The New York Rangers had a successful 2023 NHL Draft. For now, "hope springs eternal." How it all shakes out in the end, only time will tell. The Rangers added four additional picks after selecting Gabe Perreault with their first-round pick at number 23, and with those picks, the Rangers went for size. President and General Manager (and Trumbull, CT native) Chris Drury decided on and took Drew Fortescu in the third round (90th overall). The one-time Mid-Fairfield player will join Perreault at Boston College (Hockey East) after their time as teammates on the USNDTP (USHL) and the US WJC. With the 152nd pick in the fifth round, the Rangers selected defenseman Rasmus Larsson, who played with Västervik IK (J-20 Sweden). Larsson will head to Northern Michigan (CCHA) to begin the next step in his development. In the sixth round, with the 178th pick, Druy and the Rangers selected 6'7" centerman Dylan Roobrueck from the Oshawa Generals (OHL). Roobrueck is one of just two players who were 6'7" that were drafted. Ty Hendricks was the Rangers' choice with their second sixth-round pick at 183rd overall. Hendricks is a 6'5", 205-pound Left-Winger who played for the Fargo (ND) Force (USHL) and the Muskegon Lumberjacks (USHL). He will be attending the Western Michigan Broncos (NCHC). CONNECTICUT RELATED DRAFT PICKS Regarding Connecticut-related players, the second day of the NHL draft was a bit quieter than usual. Only three college players were taken with Connecticut connections; one current and two future were chosen. Quinnipiac University (ECACHL) sophomore Charles-Alexis Legault, a right-handed, 6'3, 210 pounder, was taken from the reigning national champion Bobcats by the Carolina Hurricanes in the fifth round (139th overall). Legault was just one of nine US college draftees taken. Joining Legault in Hamden next season will be Chris Pelosi, who was taken 92nd overall in the third round by the Boston Bruins out of the Selects Academy program at Mount. St. Charles (RI). He played split last year between Janesville (WI) Jets (NAHL) and the Sioux Falls (SD) Stampede (USHL). A future Yale goalie in 2025-26 from the Taft Rhinos (Watertown), Rudy Giumond, who was the ONLY Connecticut High School player selected, and who won the New England Prep small school championship, was taken by the Detroit Red Wings 169th overall in the sixth round. While he is eligible to return to Taft, he will play next year with the Cedar Rapids (IA) Roughriders (USHL) to prepare for Division I college play. He was just one of four prep School players taken. The last major Taft player to play for Cedar Rapids was Max Pacioretty that transformed his play, NOTES: Howlings has learned that next year's 72-game Wolf Pack schedule will NOT include Midwestern teams Rockford, Milwaukee, and Grand Rapids. They have been dropped. Likely to return will be Laval,  Belleville, and possibly a new first-time team like the Cleveland Monsters (Columbus Blue Jackets). However, nothing is set in concrete. Ex-Sound Tigerr Josh Bailey was placed on unconditional waivers and picked up by the Chicago Blackhawks. Some final notes on the draft, some names of note. At 143rd in the fifth round by the draft's host, the Nashville Predators, was Sutter Muzzatti. He is the son of former Hartford Whaler/Wolf Pack Jason Muzzatti, the goalie coach for the Carolina Hurricanes. Lastly, at 149th overall in the fifth round, was Aaron Pionk. He is the youngest brother of ex-Pack Neal Pionk (Winnipeg Jets). Aaron is heading to the University of Minnesota-Duluth (NCHC) from the Waterloo Black Hawks (USHL).

I thought I’d mix it up a little bit. I told my friend Manda @scott.weiland.layne.staley that I’d send her images of a 1993 STP Press Release that I’ve had in my possession for eons. However, I thought I’d not only share it with her, but with all of you also. The PR came out February 16, 1993 to announce the 2nd single “Plush”. My personal thoughts on this album goes something like this; much like Alice in Chains’ “Facelift” album, Core is a brilliant sing-a-long happy dance! Every song is a must-listen. • And speaking of Alice In Chains, Josh Taft who directed Would?, also directed “Plush”. • Let me take a minute to tell you all how much I love sharing things with you. Everyone (for the most part) engages, asks questions and do provide positive feedback. It lets me know that I’m sharing things you all want to see. And providing information, articles, memorabilia & videos that you DO want to see. Like this item I’m sharing, I really do have so much accumulated from over 30 years of being part of a music scene that has appreciated their musicians, venue and fans. I’ve loved every single minute of it. -Cindy (from my personal collection🤘🏼) —————————————————— #nehistripesseattle #stonetemplepilots #aliceinchains #plush #corealbum #1990s #scottweiland #debutalbum #joshtaft #deandeleo #robertdeleo #press #erickretz #grungeera (at Nehi Stripes Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnK-IUIPRJo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ashley Williams, Ryan Paevey to Star in Hallmark’s Summer Nights Film ‘Two Tickets to Paradise’ 

This year’s “Summer Nights” programming event is officially underway at Hallmark Channel, as production has kicked off on a new movie, “Two Tickets to Paradise.” The film, being shot on location at the iconic Royal Hawaiian Resort in Oahu, Hawaii, stars Ashley Williams, Ryan Paevey and Mary-Margaret Humes.

“Two Tickets to Paradise,” an Island Film Group Production, is executive produced by Jason Sallee. Ric Galindez and Roy Tjio are producers on the movie, with Dustin Rikert directing the script by Tracy Andreen and Kevin Taft.

The official synopsis for “Two Tickets to Paradise” reads: “Hannah Holt (Williams) and Josh Wyatt (Paevey) have both just been stood up at the altar, and as chance would have it, sit down next to each other in the park. Meeting each other turns out to be the morale boost they need to commit to taking their honeymoon vacations as they try to turn lemons into lemonade. Soon after they embark, they realize they have landed at the same honeymoon resort and keep crossing paths in tropical paradise. Josh introduces Hannah to his friend from the past, Alice (Humes), who lives on the island and shares her wisdom with the heartbroken duo. Seeing the futility of fighting fate, Hannah and Josh eventually join forces and help learn from one other to enjoy their vacations.”

17 de enero de 1992. Pearl Jam graba el vídeo de "Even Flow", siguiendo la línea en conciertos, pero no fue la primera idea para la grabación, había otra un tanto descabellada. El director Rocky Schenck lo contrataron para el vídeo, y a Stone Gossard se le había ocurrido la loca idea de que se grabaría al grupo en un zoológico, en una bodega decorada con jaulas y toda una escenografía "salvaje". La grabación se realizó, pero se dieron varios inconvenientes como las lesiones en las muñecas de Dave, que tuvo que tocar en la gira europea entablillado, y que al final al grupo no les gustó para nada el vídeo y lo desecharon considerandos una pérdida de dinero y tiempo. Reemplazaron ese vídeo por el que conocemos hasta ahora, una recopilación de escenas del concierto efectuado en el Teatro Moore de Seattle el 17 de enero de 1992, me parece una interpretación mucho más enigmática y enérgica que sus otros vídeos en concierto. El director en esta ocasión fue el amigo de Stone Josh Taft, y fue quien Eddie Vedder grita al principio de la canción, el tal "Josh" que estaba invadiendo el espacio del concierto a tal grado que Eddie de verdad que se molestó, al final quedó en el video, la frase lo dice todo: "This is not a TV studio, Josh. Turn those lights out, it's a fucking rock concert!". https://www.instagram.com/p/CY1_gf4PnM_/?utm_medium=tumblr
