I love the possibility of all the Just Dance coaches asking Sara about Earth. How much do they know about it or to them is it just the place all the music comes from.
Agent D: So I hear you're the human that keeps coming through to our world. Am I correct?
Sara: Look ma'am don't want any trouble. Am I doing something wrong?
Agent D: Will you tell Britney I owe her my life
Hadley: I'm loving Harry Styles' new work
Sara: Yeah. It's a shame about One Direction. But I think it was for the best they went their separate ways.
Hadley: Wait, what do you mean One Direction went their separate ways? And what does that have to do with Harry Styles?
Sara: Oh, I hate to be the one to tell you this, Harry Styles was a part of One Direction, but he went solo once the band split. Like Justin Timberlake or Beyoncé.
Hadley: JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, HARRY STYLES, AND BEYONCE WERE ALL IN ONE DIRECTION TOGETHER!!!
Wanderlust: So I've been meaning to ask Sara, how hard is it to make music and be famous in your world? I don't think I've ever seen your work in the game before.
Sara: Not everyone is a musician where I'm from. I'm actually a maths teacher in my day to day life so, I guess pretty hard to be famous.
Wanderlust: What's maths?
Sara: Don't worry about it.
Sara: So I'm guessing you're somewhat based on the artist of the song you dance to, like Talia Sway or Pheonix

Kevin ends up on dad and babysitting duty to help his creators block. Short lil blurb the wifeys helped inspire!
🏷: @bayisdying @mrsjaderogers @ladylanera @semperhuggs
Kevin was still scratching his head on how he ended up with nine kids at once. Grace had called two weeks ago saying that there was a Navy event they had to attend at Pensacola, but none of them knew what they were going to do with the kids. Despite Pensacola being a little over five hours from him, they worked out a plan for Kevin to babysit for everybody since he'd have his girls at the same time to help out.
He'd met them at the airport, leaving his girls at his house. Grace rented a van just to help get the kids to his house; Kev took three of them and Grace took the three others. Bradley, Jake, Alana, Baylie and Mickey were just going to wait at the airport for their next flight. Luckily Kev didn't live far and they were able to get everybody inside with his girls before Grace had to head right back. It was utter chaos for the fifteen minutes Grace helped him get everything in and left, but thankfully there weren't any tears.
He'd asked them when they planned this, if it would be fine if the kids ended up on some of his videos because he still needed to do some work while keeping them; plus he'd been having creators block lately, and he was almost positive the kids would help. The three couples had all agreed, but also thought he was hilarious that he thought he'd get anything done with all the kids around. Of course Mitchell and Sam were all for helping Kev in the shop. Hadley loved taking in the huge space and all the new things she could discover, the twins following along with her when Marcus wasn't trying to help Kevin too. Caroline was content to sit back and watch for the moment, Ava bringing a book over to read to her. Olivia had curled up in Caroline's lap just watching the chaos unfold around her. Cara, bless her, was trying to help Kev wrangle all the kids to keep them from getting hurt.
The video was going to be highly entertaining; Kev trying to explain things he was doing, with his two little helpers, while in the background it was pure chaos and every few minutes, Kev was taking tools and directing the four year olds in other directions. Sam was helping Mitchell twist a bolt on the car, giggling when she noticed he had some grease on his forehead. "Me do it Sam!"
"You did buddy," she smiles. She helps him down to go try and clean his face off while Kev is off, collecting tools from Hadley and the twins.
"But Uncle Kev! I could use that," Hadley pouted as he took the wrench she almost took Nathaniel out with.
"I'm sure you could Hads. But not for hitting the twins," he laughed as he scooped her up. He blew a raspberry on her cheek to make her giggle as Cara steered the twins away from the motorcycle in the corner.
They'd been at it an hour, when Kev decided to throw in the white flag. His video ended up more of the kids and all their shenanigans instead of actually working on his car. "Who wants to go to the park?!"
The four year olds are excited for it, but Mitchell pouts and tears up because he'd been having fun in the shop. "We'll take some cars to the park I promise."
"Dad can we have a snack?!"
Kevin can't help but chuckle as they get all the kids back in the house. "Yes Ava get enough to share."
"Are you sure about this dad?" Cara asks.
"Not one bit kiddo," he laughs. He heads to the kitchen and helps Ava get snacks out for everybody. While the kids are eating, he packs several bags with towels, sunscreen, and toys. He packs a cooler as well with plenty of drinks and snacks. Luckily the park is within walking distance of his house. Once he has all the bags and backpacks packed, he puts Mitchell and Olivia in a double stroller. Hadley is content with a piggy back ride, and each of his girls takes one of the other three's hands.
The kids run wild and have a blast at the park. Kevin sets up under a tree to keep watch and orders pizza for lunch. The kids devour the pizza when he finally wrangles them onto the towels and settles down. Liv curls up in his lap after eating and promptly falls asleep. Mitchell is wearing down as well trying to keep up with the older kids, but he won't give it up. Kevin manages to get him to lay down beside him and he turns on a video on his phone for him. Mitchell ends up passing out as well. He lets the older four run around some more with his girls before he calls them back over to go back to the house.
He knows the four year olds will protest a nap, but they have played hard all morning and with the time differences, he thinks some rest will do them some good. They get back to the house, Cara helping him get the sleeping two year olds down on the bed. Back in the living room, they build a fort with pillows and blankets from all over the house. He turns on a movie and the twins end up following him to the kitchen. He lets them help him decide on what to feed them for supper.
Dinner goes smoothly, Marcus and Nathaniel having decided on grilled cheeses. Cara cuts up some fruit for them to go with it, and he promises cookies for dessert if they eat some of the fruit. Grace texts as they're just finishing their cookies that the event has finished and they'll be flying out within the hour. He promises her that they are fine, as he gets all the kids back into the living room. He turns on Disney and everybody collapses inside the fort.
He snaps some pictures and sends them to Grace to share. Hadley is laying on Caroline's left, Mitchell and Liv curled up on either side of Ava. The twins are separated by Sam and all of them are laying with their heads on Cara who is laying at the top of the pile. While they are watching Disney, falling asleep, he works on editing the video from earlier. It's one of his most chaotic videos ever, but he can't help but love it.
He heads to the back porch to film an intro for it, and he'll show it to everybody once they get there before he posts it. "Hello everybody! Welcome back to the channel. Today's video is not the usual content. It was going to be, but I helped my sister and her friends out today and ended up with a whole bunch of kids, including my own," he chuckles. "I'll admit, I've had a lot of creator's block on some of the projects at the shop and it's made it hard to make quality videos for you to enjoy. And while keeping up with nine kids ranging from thirteen to two is exhausting, today has been fun. The video is adorable and chaotic. I'm calling it Uncle Kev's Daycare!" He laughs as he ends the little clip.
When he gets back inside, he's not surprised at all to find all the kids asleep. He turns the tv down, and throws some blankets over them in their forts. He pulls footage from the day all together and gets it ready to show his sister and the gang. He greets them at the door two hours later. Everybody is exhausted so he quickly shows them to the guest room and the girls room they were going to use for the night. They all decided to just leave the kids as they are. The next morning over breakfast, he shows them all the video. It is one of the funniest videos ever and they're all more than happy to have him post it.
It ends up one of his most liked videos and gains him almost a thousand more subscribers. It's safe to say the next time he has creator's block he'll just offer to babysit again.
Cate le Bon has always had a keen sense of rhythm, tethering her languid reveries to rattletrap beats, so that you always seem to be moving in herky-jerk robot steps through liquid dream-landscapes. So it makes sense, perhaps, that her sometime drummer Dylan Hadley should make a choppy, stuttering, irregularly pulsed run at the art pop form, here in conjunction with guitarist Cole Berliner, a regular player in the Le Bon/Tim Presley ecosphere, who has backed up White Fence, Ty Segall, Ava Mendoza and others.
This is Kamikaze Palm Tree’s second album. The first, Good Boy, out in the summer of 2019, is similarly fey and off kilter, though cuts like “Sharpie Smile” sport denser, louder rock guitar arrangements and feel, on balance, less odd and arresting than the new material. Much of which is very odd, indeed. The schoolchild chorus to “Flamingo” floats over a crazy dance of sticks on rims, with a guitar making sideways comments that slice in unpredictably. The whole thing, which doesn’t last long, ends in a single, pristine chime of triangle ringing through the chaos.
Kamikaze Palm Tree’s songs beckon and repel simultaneously, hitching sing-song-y ditties to lashing discord. “Chariot on Top” prances like a horse performing dressage. A martial snare executes marching cadences. A guitar pings and plonks manically. A xylophone twinkles in the background. But as the pieces fly off every which way, the chorus wraps difficult words into nursery-rhyme certainty. Mica Levi used to perform a similar alchemy with her zinging, zooming, junk shop arrangements of melodic gems. Kamikaze Palm Tree shares a good deal of Micachu’s antsy, complicated sweetness.
Hadley and Berliner have, possibly, a goofy sense of humor. Their song “Club Banger” is the album’s least banging track, sidling along on swooshes of string and narcotized choruses. “West Side Syncopation” is only lightly syncopating, slipping and gliding over synthetic chill, with a little bit of Young Marble Giants in its DNA. But it’s the tipsy, rhythmic cuts that turn pop on its back like a turtle: “In the Sand,” “Predicament” and “Flamingo.” It’s an eccentric mechanical universe that Kamikaze Palm Tree has constructed and well worth visiting.

I'm so late posting this but I'm determined to get it done. These are some of the books I read/enjoyed in 2023. I still have a massive to-read pile so not all these books actually came out in 2023 (tho' most of them did)
I don’t tend to read that many novels/fiction – I think the only one I read this year was Queen K. by Sarah Thomas about a tutor to a rich oligarch’s family. Also got the books of the scripts for Succession Seasons 3 & 4.
I tend to read a lot of memoirs. This year I read ones by Paris Hilton (which was surprisingly good), Hadley Freeman (which also talks about anorexia in general), Michelle Tea (which talked about her experiences of pregnancy in the context of being a queer woman), Ava Cherry and the latest one by Boy George.
Also Anita Bhagwandas’ book Ugly which looks at various beauty standards and how they affect us all + I really liked it. Plus Grace Dent did a book based on her podcast called Comfort Eating which looks at the favourite comfort foods of various celebrities (including recipes) combined with a bit of her own memoir.
I got a new book on Marilyn Monroe by Richard Barrios which examines her acting roles and re-evaluates her as an actor.
Read Claire Dederer’s book, Monsters, which looks at how we respond to problematic artists/creators. It raised some really interesting questions and personally I don’t think there are any easy answers. Another interesting book I came across was Creative Not Famous: The Small Potato Manifesto by Ayun Halliday which I thought offered some really good advice.
I’m keen on history especially books that look at cultural/social history. I found this fascinating book called Queer Blues which looks at the early blues musicians who explored sexuality/gender. Also another book I really recommend is I Thought I Heard You Speak: Women at Factory Records by Audrey Golden – one thing I really liked about it was the range of women they spoke to, so not just musicians but the security staff and DJs from the Hacienda. Read We Peaked At Paper which was about the UK fanzine scene.
In terms of more general history I got David Mitchell’s book, Unruly, which is his personal take on the history of the British monarchy up to Elizabeth I with plenty of sarcasm and general observations of the concept of monarchy.
I love the format of oral histories in books. This year I read Reach For the Stars (about the pop stars of the late 90s/early 00s), Faster Than a Cannonball (looking at various aspects of the nineties), and Don’t F&&K It Up (about the first ten years of RuPaul’s Drag Race).
I also read a lot of books on music. This year I read two of the new releases on goth music/culture – The Art of Darkness by John Robb and Season of the Witch by Cathi Unsworth (which I preferred especially the book/film recommendations and the gothmothers/gothfathers sections).
Read Parachute Women by Elizabeth Winder which re-evaluates the legacy of some of the women linked with the Rolling Stones – (Anita Pallenberg, Marianne Faithfull, Bianca Jagger and Marsha Hunt). I felt like it concentrated more on Anita & Marianne and it would have been nice to expand the book to cover the likes of Jo Wood, Jerry Hall and Mandy Smith but overall I loved the book.
It also ties in with one of my other areas of interest, feminism. I read Toxic by Sarah Ditum which looks at how various female celebrities were treated by the popular media in the late 90s/early 00s such as Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse.
Perfect Circle (The Physical Collection) by A.R. Hadley
“I’ve liked you for a long time, you know?” Ava confessed.
Meg shook her head, cheeks flushing with more heat.
“Come on. You had to have known?”
“I thought you always flirted with girls. I didn’t think I was special.”
“Oh, honey,” Ava whispered, stepping closer, sealing up any remaining space between them, “you’re so very special.”
Perfect…
