Friday, April 28: Dio, “Living the Lie”

R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio (1942-2010)

Master of the Moon was initially derided as too mid-paced and more than a little rote, and was largely forgotten in the ensuing years as Ronnie James Dio continued touring behind his back catalogue before reuniting with his former Sabbath mates under the Heaven and Hell for a glorious final run.  But although the record was by no means one of his best, the last album under the Dio moniker ultimately had its share of simple pleasures, with tunes like “Living the Lie” cruising at a pace that suited Ronnie’s diminished but still compelling (and committed) vocals.  Craig Goldy and Simon Wright, as co-writers, both understood exactly what they needed to do, and the riffing and drumming recalled vintage Dio without trying to recreate The Last in Line, so everything from the composition to the performance felt natural for all involved.  With the benefit of hindsight, it was much easier to appreciate and even enjoy “Living the Lie” for what it was, which was a driving heavy metal tune played with finesse by a band of lifers and one resolutely focused icon.

After The Fights: UFC London

After The Fights: UFC London

Here is what happened on the main card at UFC London. Curtis Blaydes vs Tom Aspinall For the second week in a row, the main event ended with an injury. After throwing a leg kick, Tom Aspinall fell back in pain when he put his foot down. It’s a shame that it ended this way. The packed O2 Arena was in for what would have been an exciting fight. What happens now? Well. Aspinall will have to rest and…

Tuesday, October 17: Craig Goldy's Ritual, "Right for the Wrong Reason"

“Right for the Wrong Reason” inadvertently soundtracked the very final moments of the Sunset Strip party, capturing the bleary-eyed hangover the few remaining holdouts were trying to fight through.  It was technically early ‘90s metal, but remained largely trapped in the ‘80s with a cool but still dated shredding intro, swaggering along at a sleazy mid pace and with almost parodic “metal” vocals from Mike Stone.  Really, it was all right there in the name of the group: Craig Goldy’s Ritual was formed by a former Dio guitarist who mostly slogged it out in the trenches throughout the ‘80s, and the music had the facelessness and slight loser quality that would imply.  It was hard not to feel bad for Goldy: he was a good player and hard worker, and fought to stay in the mix during a rough stretch for the genre.  But if “Right for the Wrong Reason” proved anything, it’s that the guitarist needed a strong guiding hand and leader.

Can you believe I'm sending you a Degrassi ask? I mean, I only send you like 12 a day, so try to contain your shock ;) 1. Choose 3-5 ships that weren't endgame but which you'd make endgame if you could (does Sellie make the cut?!) 2. Choose 3-5 ships that WERE endgame or at least implied endgame that you like the least 3. Pick three characters who you genuinely multiship, ie love two or more of their ships more or less equally (so, for example, I'd probably choose Maya as one of mine because the more I rewatch scenes the more I love zaya and camaya almost equally, just in different ways!) 4. Rank these female protags from your favorite to least favorite: Caitlin, Emma, Clare, Maya and Frankie (poor Frankie--I always forget about her!) 5. Pick just one favorite and LEAST favorite ship for each of these characters: Ashley, Paige, Emma (what is wrong with me that I ended up not liking any of her canon romances much?!), Jimmy, Spinner, Craig and Manny. Enjoy!

LMAO I love you

5 ships that I wanted to be endgame:

1.) Joey/Caitlin (I'm in the minority of fans who actually enjoyed the adult story lines during the early years. Even before I watched the original series. But it's so irritating that the two of them were needlessly broken up for Kevin Smith)

2.) Sean/Ellie (We've talked about this. Their relationship was so sweet and healthy and good for both of them. They deserved a happy ending)

3.) JT/Liberty (Again, they deserved a happy ending. The pregnancy ruined everything. Both JT and Liberty mishandled things and weren't getting proper guidance at the time. But they never fell out of love, and I 100% believe they would have ended up together had JT not died)

4.) Zoe/Grace (This just makes me angry. I'll always be bitter than the writers wouldn't just let them date. I never felt their eventual endgames were ever as genuine as what they shared with each other. I also struggle to buy that Grace liked men, but it is what it is)

5.) Craig/Ashley (Call it wishful thinking because Craig was such a mess, but I think he was always at his best with Ashley and that she was the only love interest he truly loved. I like to imagine that once Ashley finds her own independence and individual success and Craig gets copious amounts of therapy, they'll find each other again. If they haven't already TBH)

5 endgame couples (implied or otherwise) that I don't like:

1.) Eli/Clare (I won't subject you to another rant about them, so I'll just say I disagreed completely with giving those two a happy ending)

2.) Jake/Katie (I'm going to be completely honest. I didn't care about Katie's happiness, and I really liked Jake. It was that simple)

3.) Jonah/Grace (It felt forced to me, and I didn't like how Frankie was painted as being irrational and insecure for no reason only for Jonah to eventually admit he DID emotionally cheat on Frankie with Grace)

4.) Winston/Goldi (They were just kind of there. I don't have any feelings about them one way or another. It just felt tacked on. I feel like Winston needed the relationship more than Goldi did because the Next Class writers gave him so little to do)

5.) Jimmy/Trina (Again, they were just kind of there. We barely got to know her character, and it's odd that they randomly got engaged so quickly)

Three characters that I multiship almost equally:

1.) Drew Torres - Drew/Bianca & Drew/Clare (I wouldn't say exactly equally because I think Bianca complemented Drew better than anyone, but I also loved what Clare brought out in him. I'll always be sad they weren't given the chance to have something more)

2.) Spinner Mason - Spinner/Paige & Spinner/Darcy (I prefer Spinner with Paige, but I'm always torn every time I watch High Fidelity. Both dynamics are good for different reasons. Even though I ultimately think Spinner loved Paige more considering he was on the verge of picking her over Darcy, Darcy also accepted and loved him when he needed it most. She inspired better in him than Paige did. So basically, I'm torn over these two ships that were nowhere close to endgame)

3.) Sean Cameron - Sean/Ellie & Sean/Emma (Again, I have a preference. Sellie or bust. But if we're talking about seasons 1-4, it's closer. Had that triangle had the chance to play out with Sean never moving away, Semma could have been written better and it would have been a closer match for me)

Rank female protagonists in order:

1.) Maya Matlin (Obviously)

2.) Emma Nelson (It's actually super close and based on how I'm feeling today. It could be Clare tomorrow. Or even Caitlin. I just feel like even though I didn't love a lot of Emma's questionable writing in the middle years, she had so much variety in story lines. It's also the early TNG bias. I can't help it)

3.) Clare Edwards (Clare may have been a divisive character, but it's hard to deny she carried seasons 10-14. She was literally around for the entire era of 40+ episodes. She wasn't my personal favorite, but I still really liked her and what she brought to the show. She'd probably be higher if her love life didn't hold her back from experiencing more growth)

4.) Caitlin Ryan (Again, still close. She was great, and had a decent variety of story lines. But some of the TNG years stuff could be hit or miss. Kevin Smith? Jesse? The writers had it out for her for some reason)

5.) Frankie Hollingsworth (Her character was all over the place and mostly overshadowed by more interesting characters. To be honest, I think Frankie was pushed as the main girl because she was white. Not because she suited the role best or was the most interesting. The Hollingsworths got old towards the end)

Fave/least fave romances:

Ashley:

Favorite: Craig/Ashley

Least favorite: Can I choose Ashley/Alistair? If not, Jimmy/Ashley. They were never compatible, and their season 5 reunion wasn't believable or needed.

Paige:

Favorite: Spinner/Paige

Least favorite: Matt/Paige, because fuck her grooming, predatory teacher

Emma:

Favorite: Sean/Emma

Least favorite: Peter/Emma

Jimmy:

Favorite: Jimmy/Hazel, but I also liked his potential with Ellie

Least favorite: Jimmy/Ashley

Spinner:

Favorite: Spinner/Paige

Least favorite: Spinner/Manny

Craig:

Favorite: Craig/Ashley

Least favorite: Craig/Ellie. I don't care if they weren't technically canon. They were the worst.

Manny:

Favorite: Jay/Manny

Least favorite: Mick/Manny, honestly. But other than the two guys no one actually remembers, Spinner/Manny.
