Incoming TROS rant

yes, there will be spoilers as I will be breaking down everything I saw tonight. If I manage to type choking on my tears well after the movie finished.

----

FINAL WARNING IF YOU DON’T WANT SPOILERS

Let’s start with a few opening words, this rant will indeed be a long one.

ALL THE LEAKS ARE TRUE. And I mean ALL of them. To a T. As soon as I saw the first half was exactly as I’d read, I was crushed. As I knew what was coming. On that note, i was probably the only person in the theatre who was crying like 15-20 minutes before we were supposed to, I’ll get to that in a bit. I’m saving the WORST for last. Let’s break this shit down.

1. The plot is a mess. An actual mess. I feel like every five minutes I was shaking my head and mumbling ‘what kind of nonsense is this’. The breaking of lore or COMMON SENSE really is substantial. But that is definitely not what I cared about, as I already KNEW this even without the leaks. When you can’t get your two directors to FUCKING WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE A COHESIVE STORYLINE it is bound to grasp for straws and make shit up. IT AIN’T NOTHING NEW.

2. Here’s the kicker. THE DIALOGUE WAS SO BAD, it makes Anakin’s AOTC speech seem like a hymn, or poetry or whatever. They CONSTANTLY say what they’re doing, they’re literally reciting the exposition to each other and it comes off as extremely annoying and makes you feel like a toddler. No hate against toddlers, but I’d rather not be one right now. It feels unnatural, forced and STUPID to the point where I would start WISHING for 3PO to come back on screen because Anthony Daniels somehow managed to snag some actually decent lines for once? I love the man, but the droid usually really annoys the crap outta me. He was literally the highlight of the film. Don’t get me started on the stupidity of all of Lando’s lines, poor Billy. Daisy has to stare angrily most of the time so I don’t really care to recall her lines. Adam, my dear Adam, he tries SO HARD to make do with what he was given but even his lines 90% of the time come off as stupid and out of place. Or the worst type in this movie, EXPOSITIONYY. Don’t get me started on Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford. Boys looked like they didn’t sign up for this shit and were literally force choked to be there. I feel you guys, I feel you. ALSO FOR THE LOVE OF THE FORCE THE TIMES THEY REPEATED WORD FOR WORD LINES FROM OTHER MOVIES I WANTED TO SCREAM. Once is too much, THIS MANY TIMES IT IS A FELONY. And it needs to be punished somehow.

3. Let’s get the positives out of the way because there were FEW. The two scenes I actually REALLY enjoyed watching, for different reasons were:

Ben and Palps meeting. The scene was much longer than the clip and SUPER badass. Sheev’s voice echoes, Ben looks fucking cool and the whole scene is GORGEOUS.

The other is when Ben fights as a Jedi in the end. I’ll get to Ben later BELIEVE ME but without overexplaining, he fights with Anakin’s lightsabre, he’s really speedy and is doing all the Jedi spins and whatnot. I fucking ATE THAT UP. Replay that scene forever please CAUSE I LOVED IT. But I was already crying here so we’ll touch more on that later.

To conclude this segment, the visuals were SUPERB, the sound was AMAZING and (some) of the fights were jaw droppingly cool. But that about concludes the positives!

4. I will comment, as I know a lot of people will care even if I don’t particularily. Finn, Poe, Rose and the merry gang aside from our Jedi are reduced to EH this movie. If you thought you’d never miss Rose boy were you wrong. They introduce new characters and expect you to care about them when they SIDELINED the ones they’d hoped you’d care about BEFORE. And it made me care about NO ONE. Not to mention that, sadly, they are ALWAYS reduced to the boring side plot that really isn’t interested or key to much of ANYTHING. Sure they roused the people and all but would’ve been TOAST if Rey didn’t go all Jesus on the fleet. So at the end of the day, you MAY find some enjoyment with the side characters but their lines were some of the worst, you WILL be force fed new people and you might not really enjoy your previous faves here because even I found myself being completely indifferent this time. (I actually really ENJOYED Finn since TFA. He had a compelling storyline and John Boyega was alright. Couldn’t give two wits about him in this movie. Not a single one. But again, I may not be the perfect person to ask if you really,really like any of these characters.

5. Finally, we have arrived to the main event. THE REYLO.

The backbone of this clusterfuck of a new trilogy. The last Skywalker and Palpatine, coming together instead of apart. The arguably BEST actors (legacies aside) Disney managed to get. Now, I will start this off that I didn’t HATE Rey before this movie. I loved her in TFA, enjoyed her less in TLJ but the novelization fixed that. I was BACK ON BOARD to be her number one stan. In this movie, I couldn’t STAND her. Her lines are basically the director walking you through things, her plotline was obviously made last minute so almost none of it makes sense,  I literally wanted to curl up and DIE from cringing so hard every time someone said ‘you’re a Palpatine’. I thought I was looking at a very expensive rendition of terrible fan fiction. (Not to diss fan fiction in any way, you guys will be my heroes after this catastrophe.) ‘Empress Palpatine’, COME THE FUCK ON AND GET OUT WITH THIS SHIT. Bring back crusty old Snoke for crying out loud! Or even HUX! Who got killed off in a second and had three lines of dialogue, not important I guess? Like a great many things I guess, JJ. But, EVEN Palpatine aside, it was great seeing him again and every scene he was in I got chills, who cares that it makes zero sense at this point. Back to reylo.

Ben. Ben Solo Organa Skywalker. The last hope. The final remnant of something I have loved FOREVER. I grew up with Star Wars, like many others just in a different, post prequel era and they are still my favourites. This might sound ridiculous but Star Wars was part of my heart, my happiness. It brought me joy to watch it, read it, fantasize about it and have it in my life when times were dark or miserable. It MEANT something to me, as I am sure many of you will agree. And Ben was part of that. He was part of something that MEANT something to all of us. He was the last line of the characters we all grew up with and loved. The GRANDSON of Anakin, my favourite character of all time. This was their chance to stop the trend that Loki’s death in IW and Daenerys’ death and turn and many others started and STOP killing people who did wrongs. PEOPLE can change, they can grow and they can learn. Hell, to not stray to far from this franchise REY has killed A LOT of people in this movie alone. She DECIMATES the room full of Palpatine’s followers and never blinks an eye. SHE NEARLY KILLS CHEWIE, DOES KILL BEN (for a minute) and SHE DOESN’T NEED TO DIE. Of course she doesn’t but BEN DOESN’T EITHER. After all that YOU JJ, YES YOU, show me that the LAST SKYWALKER has gone through, suffered, alone and frightened. I would’ve ENDED you if you’d suggested killing him off to me, EVER. He was your chance to do a reverse Vader, AS YOU CLAIMED YOU WOULD. To show a character can come back to the light and be worthy of it WITHOUT DYING. You even set it up as such, which is my next and CRUCIAL POINT.

I’ve been a reylo since 2015. Their dynamic has always been fascinating to me and beautiful. I LOVED all the moments in TLJ, LOVED THEM. In this one, every time they force bond (terrible dialogue aside, again) I was happy. I had a hope that she would bring him back from the darkness and he will keep her balanced. WELL, JJ, guess fuck me huh? And anyone with common sense and human decency. JUST WHEN you shove Ben’s turn in my face, you make him talk to Han, you make him strut in to fight alongside Rey in full Ben Solo Jedi mode, hair blown and casually dressed. It was when he runs onto Exegol that I started weeping. Because knowing that he dies as I did, it broke my heart how it was done. You give me the scene where he fights and you give me hope of what his future could’ve been if only you’d listened to reason and done what was supposed to be done. He is chucked into the pit, WHICH MIGHT I ADD WOULD’VE MADE ME MAD IF THAT WAS HIS END BUT WOULD’VE BEEN SOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT WE GOT, comes back. And now comes the scene that cemented this as the ABSOLUTE WORST insult to me as a fan, possible. Ben is heartbroken that Rey is dead, the moment is sad and he cradles her dead body and hugs her desperately. Which would’ve been a beautiful and GOOD DIFFERENT type of ending. Or rather not having her die at all and being NEAR her death and him saving her and both living happily ever after BUT NO. JJ AFTER THAT has her come back, smile happily when she sees it’s him, her love her hope and the other half of her SOUL literally (the diad or whatever it’s called is so rare that Palpatine was thrilled they’d formed such a bond, basically space soulmates), he has them kiss, then hold each other and smile at each other with genuine feeling of joy and belonging both of them had sought all their life AND THEN YANKS IT FROM UNDER YOU. The scene where Ben falls flat onto his back is quite comical and I couldn’t help but laugh in my misery and sobbing. Rey doesn’t even cry, we don’t even LINGER on his body or mourn him afterwards or even mention it or EVEN SEE her, THE PERSON WHO LITERALLY FOUND HER SOULMATE AND WAS SO HAPPY WHEN SHE KISSED HIM AND WAS LITERALLY SAVED BY HIM, but no guess that doesn’t require a scene, sure, fuck it LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE. The cheery music that plays up until the moment of his fall, YES THE FALL OF SKYWALKER MIND YOU NOT A FUCKING RISE, was an insult to every fan everyhwere, lifelong or recent or otherwise, it was a punch to the gut, a slap in the face and after this happened I no longer paid attention to the movie. I’d been crying for some time leading up to the moment, I knew what was coming and the execution only made it worse and a more desperate cry rather than only sad, I was hoping it wouldn’t happen somehow. I choked back tears until I finally got home and cried. One of the things which MEANT so much to me, was dead. I no longer have any doubts, that this was intentional. Look at Game of thrones, that was this year. It seemed intentional to make series stop, right? Everyone agrees. They wanted to finally bury the Skywalkers so they could make something unrelated? They kill off all the Skywalkers. Well guess what disney? YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO BRING THEM BACK IN THE FIRST PLACE, YOU MONEY HUNGRY PIECE OF SHIT. No one would have minded a new trilogy, with new characters doing NEW things. Why even drag the Skywalkers and the leagies into this if YOU DON’T WANT THEM HERE? All you got was millions of lifelong fans of the old movies who have already felt or are only now beginning to feel BETRAYED. I swear it disney, I don’t want to feel this misery again. You won’t take Star Wars away from me and the joy it brought me. I will without a care in the world dismiss this new trilogy as something completely separate from canon. You’ve killed your own fanbase. You could’ve had us but you LOST us. You dangled something we wanted in front of us for our money and then you ripped it apart.

If you are anything like me, anything like me at all and have loved SW for however long. if it MEANS ANYTHING TO YOU, I beg you not to see this movie or at the very least, pay for it. You WILL feel betrayed, insulted, heartbroken, devastated and miserable, as I am feeling right now. I was supposed to go see this movie another two times but i cannot and will not spend another CENT on a company that chooses to alienate me. Fine, have it your way. I’m done.

This concludes my rant as I am tired and upset. If I missed out on anything and you are interested in anything else, please do DM me or leave a comment :) We’re all in this together now, the reylos the antis the new fans and the old. We’re all in the same heartbreaking boat, I love you all. And I will love Star Wars. The REAL Star Wars forever. I wasn’t even sad the ‘FRANCHISE’ was ending because it wasn’t. It had ended a long, long time ago.

The Fantastically Real World of “A Star is Born”

     When I entered the theater to watch A Star is Born, I had absolutely no idea how wholly unprepared I was for this emotional powerhouse of a film, and as all 200 audience members and I stumbled out of the theater sniffling and desperately trying to dry our eyes, I was left to contemplate exactly why what I had just watched had been so brilliant and impactful. Long story short, Bradley Cooper explodes onto the stage with his directorial debut, crafting a movie that fires on all cylinders and makes use of every tool at its disposal to tell a heartbreaking, timeless, and wonderfully moving story.

     I had the unique opportunity to watch the film at a pre-screening with its Director of Photography, Matthew Libatique, whose breathtaking visuals and nuanced cinematography bring to the screen the flash pan realities of life as a rockstar: the good, the bad, and the ugly.  The film opens with Bradley Cooper’s Jack Maine giving a rocking performance to a sold-out crowd.  Using a stunning combination of multicolored lighting, a distorting wide-angle lens, and introductory shots showing Jack popping pills before his act, Libatique pens poems with his cinematography, effortlessly displaying full-frontal the hectic craziness of Jack’s life and the vices that will plague him throughout the film and ultimately prove his undoing.  

     A few moments later the audience is transported along with Jack into to the fantasy-world of a drag bar: resplendent with over-the-top costumes with vibrant colors and boas aplenty, adorned with myriads of tesselated mirrors and lit with a warm, risqué red hue.  In the bar the audience receives a series of juxtaposed images, with numerous close ups of Ally, played by Lady Gaga, singing on stage, her face lit with a soft, red glow being interspersed with various shots of Jack sitting at the bar, lit in a much more low-key, hard cool light: the long, stark shadows spreading across his face standing in contrast to the smooth, glamorous glow of Ally’s face.  The scene builds as Ally carefully traces a seductive route through the crowd, approaching Jack and the bar, culminating in what could be considered one of the most romantically charged moments in recent cinema, when Ally lays across the bar with a rose between her fingers, belting a french ballad and turns her head effortlessly to make eye contact with Jack, sharing glances into the camera that are simultaneously transfixing and moving.

     There are countless other instances of beautiful camera and lighting work in the film (that go hand in hand with the tense editing techniques), but the one that creates arguably the most stunning impact appears towards the conclusion of the film, as Ally is giving the final performance on her tour.  Ally has been wrapped up in the insane world of being a pop star, and this scene shows her in the throws of giving a bombastic, flashy show to a screaming crowd of adoring fans: flashing lights with after images, dynamic camera movements, dazzling costumes, etc.  As this is happening, the film parallelly constructs Jack’s final moments and the execution of his suicide, using seven primary images interspersed with the pop concert to elevate and concentrate the emotion of his death.  The first image is of Jack opening the glove box and searching for a bottle of pills: establishing to the audience that he is going to relapse, and possibly kill himself.  Next we see a shot of his adorable dog, Charlie, framed in the doorway, pulling on the audience’s heartstrings as we realize the emotional weight of the act Jack is about to commit.  Third, we are shown Jack pulling the truck out of his garage: the headlights are on, and as he pulls out they illuminate whirling clouds of dust.  After a cut to shots of the concert, the next shot we are given is an almost exact graphic match of the previous truck shot, but now the headlights are off: the match serving to draw attention to the difference between the two shots–the extinguished headlights–which are symbolic of Jack’s life being snuffed out.  We then see him stumble out of the truck and amble back into the garage, but the camera frames only his legs and hand, in which he holds his belt, silhouetted against the brighter backdrop of the garage interior.  The belt serves to remind the audience of Jack’s confession to his counselor in rehab of the time when he was 12 and attempted suicide because of his his emotional isolation due to a negligent father, and at this point Jack’s intent becomes clear: he is contemplating and may commit suicide.  Once again the film transitions to a few shots of the wild, fun, and crowded scene of the concert; Ally briefly goes offstage for a costume change and shows her concern for Jack, telling her manager to send someone to the house to check on him.  These final shots of Ally in the changing room are full of many actors moving at a quick pace, Ally herself appears excited and alive, and the camera moves sporadically, with hands and bodies moving to and fro in front of the lens.  Then, in possibly the most emotionally painful cut I have ever witnessed in film, the film jumps from the energetic, bright concert scene to a static, dark long shot of Jack and Ally’s home, facing the garage.  The woods surrounding are shrouded in darkness, the garage door is down, and the only lights in the frame are the interior garage lights and the exterior house lights directly adjacent to the garage door.  Scanning the frame, the audience, to our horror, sees first Jack’s torso, framed in the narrow garage windows swinging back and forth, and then the dog Charlie sitting expectantly at the foot of the garage door, looking around for his master.  There were many sniffles to be heard in the theater at this point.  After a few brief concert clips the suicide scene concludes with one last long shot of the house, except this time centered on the front entrance, the door wide open, and the red neon sign inside lit.  The camera pushes in, focused on the bright red interior, as the exterior–trees, ground, and house–are bathed in flashing blue lights, creating a sense of discomfort and finality to the actions we have just witnessed.

     You would think that that sequence would be the emotional climax of the film, but A Star is Born once again refuses to conform to audience expectations and avoids the cheap ending of an abrupt suicide by letting the final few minutes become a beautiful requiem to Jack and his wonderful, but troubled life.  The first scene features Ally at the piano playing, and then uses a jump cut to place her on the couch, staring at the ceiling with Charlie at the foot of the sofa, the jarring cut serving to reinforce the sense of wrongness and loss that surrounds Ally.  

     A few shots later we see Ally conversing with Jack’s brother, who recounts an event that happened to him in the past few days when he was at a bar and heard a boy singing one of Jack’s songs, and he expresses how his initial reaction was one of anger.  As we are given this reaction to the playing of Jack’s songs, the film then delivers a perfect thematic counterpoint with the triumphant (and sob-inducing) final scene, in which Ally performs in memorial the unfinished love song that Jack penned to her right before rehab.  The scene opens with a crab shot scanning over the members of the orchestra, bathed in a soft, warm glow provided by a sea of old-style bulbs hanging over their heads.  Ally is introduced to us in a shot from behind at a low angle, a spot light shining down on her from above serving to underexpose the shot, presenting her and the crowd in silhouette.  The spot light reflects off the crown of her head, forming a brilliant, white halo on her hair and making her look like an angel: providing closure to the motif of Jack comparing Ally to an angel with his song and profession of love literally giving her the appearance of an angel.  The cinematography then employs a more subtle approach with repeating camera movements and more traditional high-key lighting and angles, taking a backseat to the power of Gaga’s vocal performance and the heartbreaking poetry of the lyrics.  Editing steals the show, however, in the final three shots, by making use of a stunning instance of mental subjectivity.  It starts with Ally singing on stage at the awards ceremony, and then cuts to Ally and Jack at the piano from earlier in the film when she pressures him to play the love song for her.  The cut employs a bold graphic contrast, the effect of which is enhanced by the audio from the performance cutting out and giving way to a much quieter rendition of the song, taken up from the same place by Jack and his piano.  We see him passionately deliver the song to his wife, with their dog in the frame, professing his love for her in a tender moment of vulnerability and happiness.  In that shot, if you look closely, you’ll notice Ally sheds a tear from her left eye as he concludes.  Finally, in a bizarre and time-bending match-on-action, the film snaps back to the present with a close up of Ally’s face at her live performance–this time with the background washed out to a flat black by the lighting, highlighting her harrowed expression and the emotional culmination of her song: a single tear streaming down her face from her left eye.

     I’ve focused primarily on some examples of the film’s technical successes, but I would be amiss if I didn’t mention some of its outstanding narrative achievements as well.  As a whole, the film tells a very real and tragic story, building its world through a frenzied blend of verisimilitude and expressionism in style paired with exceeding complex and human characters.  Jack, Ally, Jack’s brother, and the whole cast have so many layers to their character that they become immediately real, believable and, in some cases, pitiable.  We watch as Jack charmingly and endearingly woos Ally during their first encounter, and we watch as he pisses himself onstage at the Grammy’s for her award presentation.  We watch as Ally overcomes her fears and boldly performs her own song in front of a massive crowd for the first time with Jack, and we watch as she falls victim to her fear of rejection and insecure self-image by building a career around meaningless songs and a public image that hardly resembles the real her.  We watch as Jack coyly writes and embarrassedly performs a love song he wrote for Ally after he returns from rehab, and we watch as his insecurities and guilt come bursting forth as her manager reminds him of how he has repeatedly failed Ally.  In this way the narrative takes us on a wild roller-coaster ride of highs and lows in the lives and psyche of both the main characters, and through their trying to negotiate a relationship in spite of their demons we are given the impression of two fallible, very human people plagued by the same woes that beset so many.  The film also makes several points about the nature of art and songwriting, and uses the artistic process and the realities of life as an artist as the driving engine for much of the narrative development with regards to Ally and Jack’s relationship.  

     All in all, A Star is Born is a film that succeeds in every aspect of the filmmaking process, blending a myriad of techniques and styles to help tell a timeless and tragic story of love, loss, and the power of a good song.

The Most Memorable Anime Dance Sequences of All Time!

Anime is an amazing medium because of the way things flow and look on screen, like when action sequences suck us in with amazing animation and quieter scenes can stun with captivating visuals. Perhaps one of the least appreciated parts of anime, though, are the amazing dance sequences that can pop up in our favorite shows and even in their opening and endings. Dance can really be an amazing medium on its own, and with the right animation and music, anime dances can seem almost magical! But which ones are the best? I’ve gathered what I think are the 10 best overall anime dance sequences, and I’m ranking them based on their style, choreography, and their overall ability to stick in our minds. If you’re looking for a new dance to try out with your friends at a cosplay gathering for this year’s con circuit, or maybe you just appreciate a good dance as much as I do, hit the dance floor and get ready to show off some sick moves!

10) Kill Me Baby Ending Dance Sequence

    Coming in at number 10, I’ve got the dance from the Kill Me Baby ending theme “The True Secret of Our Feelings.” This unique duet encapsulates the odd mood and style of the series, with a unique blend of comedy that is wholly its own. While it is a unique and quirky dance, that’s the reason I found it so memorable! Seeing this dance at the end of every episode was a great way to cap off any episode, as well as a great little bit of music and dancing that captured what Kill Me Baby was all about: weird, cute comedy! One of the things I really appreciated about this dance was the way that the moves keep specific timing with the beat, which really showed a level of though similar to the sometimes subtle punchlines of the show.

9) Sgt. Frog Ending Dance Sequence

    Fittingly at number 9 spot is the 9th ending song of Sgt. Frog, “Spinning, Turning, Once Around!” When this song hit during the anime’s broadcast, it became a huge sensation online, spawning lots of people doing their own group renditions of the dance. At first it might seem like the song is more memorable and catchy than the dance, which is why it’s a bit lower on our list than others, but the dance itself is quite fun and actually very subtle! Much of it is focused on specific, timed movements between a group, and keeping up that manic pace as the song’s tempo increases is part of the fun. The parody videos people have made are almost as entertaining as the original (especially to see how people interpreted Tamama’s entrance into the ending!), so for that reason alone I knew I had to put it on this list.

8) Free - Iwatobi Swim Club-'s Ending Sequence

  Free! -Iwatobi Swim Club- certainly made a huge splash (sorry, not sorry) when it hit the scene a few years ago, and people were instantly sucked into the sports and non-sport drama of the swim club boys. But perhaps one of the most memorable parts of the series was it's absolutely off the wall ending sequence, featuring cast members alternating between dancing in a night club and an Arabian themed hunt for an oasis! While some might argue that certain viewers were more interested in the amount of abs on display in the ending, I’ll say that while that was great, the oddball dance sequence and fun visuals of the ending are what really caught our attention. Free! itself seems to have owned up to the silliness of the first ending, as the recent movie had the guys creating a themed recruitment video in something of a fun callback to the original season’s ending visuals. The night club scene was so popular, it even inspired some neat merchandise for fans to buy! And while fans will probably argue over who the best Free! boy is, I have to say that Haru’s hair flipping to the beat in this ending is pretty show stealing!

7) Carnival Phantasm's Opening Dance Sequence

  The TYPE-MOON series Fate/Stay Night and Tsukihime have spawned countless fans between all of the various versions of anime spin offs from the original games, but none perhaps captured the madcap silliness the fandom had invented better than the Carnival Phantasm series. A selection of comical shorts featuring characters from both the Fate and Tsukihime series, the show kicked off each episode with a high energy and catchy theme song that was accompanied by the main characters of each series dancing along in time. Seeing Saber, Rin, Arcueid and many others dancing cutely was enough to get this on our list, but the huge group dance scenes in between those really helped cement this one in place. Carnival Phantasm was filled with callbacks to events in both series, their anime, and even long-time in jokes, and the opening copied that as well, with odd little easter eggs for careful viewers to spot. Although Carnival Phantasm never got an official release outside of Japan, the opening song was popular enough to inspire some fan reactions. If you take a look at it, let us know if you can spot the Assassin cut-out…!

6) JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable Opening Dance Sequence

  As much as I would like to put this next entry on the list with “Koichi pose” and leave it at that, there’s definitely more to be said about this one. Our number 6 spot goes to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable’s first opening song, “Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town,” featuring cast members dancing along to the song as they introduce themselves. Diamond is Unbreakable really exuded a specific bouncy charm and vibrancy to it that made it different from previous JoJo seasons, and this opening song really helped to sell that mood. Starting off with Josuke, Koichi, Jotaro and Okuyasu on a stage like a boy band, the song kept up that high energy throughout, making it a catchy tune with somewhat even more memorable dance moves. Although it isn’t as thoroughly choreographed as some of our other entries, it would be hard to really forget certain scenes here, and the way it fits the series is a huge plus to us.

5) Blood Blockade Battlefront Ending Dance Sequence

  Blood Blockade Battlefront was a series that dripped style from the way it was animated to the character designs, and the ending theme, “Sugar Song and Bitter Step,” had an amazing segue of dancing scenes that really helped cement that in our minds. Much like Sgt. Frog, the ending of Blood Blockade Battlefront spawned lots of homage videos from fan artists and cosplayers recreating the dance steps with their own unique takes on it. Perhaps one of the most memorable bits of the whole sequence, though, is the way in which it helped sell character interactions and relationships even in the ending song; watching the various ways Zapp interacted with people, for example, or the little cues to season one’s major plot points in various parts was a hidden treat that rewarded keen viewers attention. The song itself matches the jazzy dance steps and costuming as well, making it an overall catchy and fun sequence to watch over and over again!

4) Uta no Prince Sama Ending Dance Sequence

Considering that it’s a series about handsome idols doing amazing song and dance routines, it probably doesn’t surprise you to see Uta no Prince Sama’s “Maji Love 2000%” make it onto our list at number 4. The dance is so fluid and stylish that you could easily see a real idol group easily perform something similar, and the accompanying fan screams during specific moments really made the whole scene amazing. Plus, as the pay off to a tense and dramatic season finale, the whole dance really felt like an amazing reward for viewers to see. I’ll be honest with you all: there are a few scenes in this dance that I enjoy quite a lot, and it probably isn’t hard to figure out why! If you like your idols handsome and with good rhythm, you should consider checking out Uta no Prince Sama!

3) Vegeta's Bingo Dance from Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods

  This next dance caught us so off guard when I first saw it that I think you’ll agree it deserves a high place on our list: Vegeta’s bingo dance! First seen in the Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods movie and then again in the Dragon Ball Super anime adaptation of it, Vegeta’s desperate attempt to distract Beerus from destroying Earth was perhaps never so apparent as it was in this madcap dance sequence. Vegeta’s improvisational song and dance are pretty amazing on their own, but perhaps the most memorable thing about them is what it meant for the Dragon Ball series as a whole: a marked shift in Vegeta’s character and personality. Super really focused heavily on Vegeta’s growth early on, letting us see his change from the cold hearted and distant “Prince of all Saiyans” of Dragon Ball Z into a man who, while still surly, really cares for his family and other people enough to throw away his pride and put on a ridiculous dance to save the day. I love Dragon Ball Super and I love Vegeta, and this dance really just put a big bow on why!

2) Torture Dance from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind

  A relative newcomer compared to the rest of the list, our number 2 spot goes to that torture dance scene from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind! One of the best things an anime adaptation can do is take things that it’s source material did, and give it a unique spin that only an animated series can do, and David Production really knocked it out of the park with this! Changing a single page set of panels into a minute long visual trip was amazing! It also gave us a little fun insight into the relationships of the Bucciarati gang; we see goofball Narancia start off, only to have the slightly more serious Mista join in, followed by the extremely high strung Fugo working together in perfect harmony as their torture target suffers in the background. The original song, “Canonzi Preferite,” created to go along with the dance is another great touch, as are the trippy visuals between dance steps. It’s a real treat to watch this dance scene over and over again, and it’s something that really helped me find my love for Part 5 immediately!

1) The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Ending Dance Sequence

If you’ve read this far and asked “Where is it?” you’ve probably already predicted what's in the #1 spot: the famous “Hare Hare Yukai” dance from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya! It may be hard to imagine that it’s been over 13 years (ohmygod, it’s been THAT LONG?) since this song first hit the anime world like a tidal wave, and it’s dance soon became a convention staple for groups of cosplayers! It’s hard to deny the memories of seeing fan renditions of the dance pop up on the early days of social media, and the enduring popularity of the dance sequence really says all there is to say about why it’s my number one pick. Even if we discounted the history now attached to the dance, it’s hard to argue that there’s a stronger contender on our list; the song is matched perfectly by the movements of the cast, and it gives off an air of natural movement that’s hard to match! Many other dances on our list are broken up by other strings of animation stills or cut aways, Hare Hare Yukai got an entire minute of pure dancing down the line, with impressive choreography considerations for its age.

Turn up for Tiki 🍹🥥🍌🍍. It has been blazing hot here on the Mid-Atlantic coast, and all I want to do is crush tropical cocktails. But, honestly, it’s just one of those genres of drinks that always taste better at the bar – usually because I don’t have a pebble ice machine at home (yes, it does matter). . Lately, I’ve been making some Mai Tais with @denizenrum Merchant’s Reserve, @smallhandfoods orgeat, fresh lime, and dry curaçao. That’s as complex as it gets, but it’s well worth it. . Who has some easy tiki cocktails that they have developed at home worth sharing? I’m looking for some new flavors 👌🏽🍹.

15 Cocktail Influencers You Should Be Following on Instagram

Since most of us are missing our local bartenders as much as our friends and family during the ongoing pandemic, many of us have taken to our kitchens in an attempt to make our favorite drinks ourselves. But while G&Ts and vodka sodas are great every now and again, where do we turn when we’re craving something a little more complex? Enter: the “drinkstagrammer” — or drinks Instagrammer.

These bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts have made names for themselves by sharing photos of whimsical drinks and helpful tips with their followers. So, at a time when we need inspiration more than ever, VinePair has collected a list of our 15 favorite drinkstagrammers, whom you should follow right now.

It’s fri-yay aka time for an 𝐀𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐳! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Instead of dreaming for the day we can get back into some of our favorite restaurants safely (because who knows when that will be)… let’s bring the Friday happy hour cocktails right into our home! After creating recipes for the past 4 months now, there’s a lot to choose from on our website! My personal favorite to celebrate the beginning of the weekend on a hot day is of course the Aperol Spritz. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ But on a serious note, I can’t believe that 4 months ago COVID lockdown hit in the US and that actually made me really start taking Join Jules seriously. It was the only way to turn a sour situation into a good one I guess. But, I do hope these cocktails have helped cure the oh so missed happy hours and that you look forward to so many more to come… (I’m looking at you 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧)!!

Turn up for Tiki 🍹🥥🍌🍍. It has been blazing hot here on the Mid-Atlantic coast, and all I want to do is crush tropical cocktails. But, honestly, it’s just one of those genres of drinks that always taste better at the bar – usually because I don’t have a pebble ice machine at home (yes, it does matter). . Lately, I’ve been making some Mai Tais with @denizenrum Merchant’s Reserve, @smallhandfoods orgeat, fresh lime, and dry curaçao. That’s as complex as it gets, but it’s well worth it. . Who has some easy tiki cocktails that they have developed at home worth sharing? I’m looking for some new flavors 👌🏽🍹.

I really really miss @leyendabk and on days like today with May just around the corner I miss our patio the most. May has always been our biggest month with the weather being perfect combined with our anniversary and Cinco de Mayo. This year we were going to do a huge party for our five ( 5️⃣❗️) year anniversary as well as my book launch. Instead we won’t. Instead, rather than being in Leyenda’s backyard mixing up drinks and hanging out with the whole neighborhood, I will just post them on social media. Like this one— featured in my book with link in BIO!—Cereza Picante: With this drink, I wanted to create an exceptionally fruit-forward fall-like sour that highlighted spice and smoke to compliment its fruity notes.

Navigating Amsterdam Dance Event: Where to get the week’s best house, techno, bass, and electronica

Words by Bella Bagshaw & Josh Stewart

The tick of the clock grows tantalizing as mid-October (16-20) draws nearer, and in turn, unearthing another chapter of Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE).

While ADE’s prodigious masthead may suggest something altogether singular, it is, in fact, massively multi-pronged. Since 1995, the music industry-geared celebration has been boasting conferences, workshops, and high-profile panels in tandem with its sprawling sonic agenda. In short, ADE tackles all things electronic music, from virtually every vantage point.

It’s easy to feel disoriented from the dizzying litany of dance music decadence on deck for ADE 2019, between the manifold menagerie of branded parties across the city—day and night—and the festival’s native events alike. No worries. Dancing Astronaut has it covered. We’re breaking it down nice and neat this year to help attendees find the best parties of the week.

Boris Brejcha x FCKNG SERIOUS [High Tech Minimal] Wednesday at Warehouse Elementenstraat

Things get pretty fcking serious pretty fcking quick at ADE this year, as Boris Brejcha and company plan to smash through Warehouse Elementenstraat with their distinct brands of minimal and techno on Wednesday night. Theydream, Ann Clue, and Deniz Bul bring supporting sets for head honcho Brejcha, whose pristine and textured productions are currently sweeping dance music worldwide.

Tickets are sold out.

For a taste of Boris Brejcha’s nuanced techno sound, checkout “Gravity,” the lead single from his upcoming album.

Metropolis (Fritz Lang, 1927) w/ live electric score [Experimental / Audio-visual] Wednesday at Studio K

If you’re looking to lose the rave gear and check out something on the artsy side, check out Studio K on Wednesday night, where Tomer Baruch and Alex Brajković will be performing a live electronic score to Fritz Lang’s 1927 film Metropolis. Regarded by many as the very first sci-fi film, Metropolis explores the blurred lines between man and machine. Now, almost 100 years later, Baruch and Brajković reexamine those very themes as they employ the machines themselves to conduct the film’s score (or is it the machines who are employing them?).

Richie Hawtin CLOSE & Modeselektor (live) [Techno / Live Electronica] Wednesday at NDSM Warehouse

Richie Hawtin, Modeselektor, and SOPHIE are about as eclectic as a three-act lineup gets, but there’s an admitted artistic synergy amongst the triad. Universally accepted techno overlord Richie Hawtin will bring his idiosyncratic audiovisual CLOSE show to ADE, where he is set to explore the technological meeting point between man and machine all while throwing down one of the festival’s most furiously raging minimal techno sets at the festival. Modeselektor also returns to their roots as live performers in their latest Who Else album tour, with an opening set from SOPHIE, who’s expected to bring her cunning performance art along for the ride.

Listen to Richie Hawtin’s latest release, “CLOSE COMBINED,” an amalgamation of sounds from live shows in London, Tokyo, and Glasgow.

The Rest is Noise X ADE: Tim Hecker + Caterina Barbieri [Ambient / Experimental / Live] Wednesday at Muziekgebouw aan t’ IJ

The Rest is Noise X ADE is an evening that explores live electronic music as an art form, recruiting the eminent talents of Tim Hecker and Caterina Barbieri for a standout sonic experience on Wednesday night. Hecker performs a live rendition of is recent work, Konoyo, which delves into the spiritual nature of traditional Japanese instruments and song structure, making for the perfect ambient adventure to open up ADE with. Barbieri should turn things up just a few notches, though, as her sequencing board and modular instrument prowess are both known to forge sets as hypnotic as they are energizing.

Spinnin’ Sessions [Big Room] Wednesday at Q-Factory

Spinnin’ has been a resounding force in the ADE domain—and electronic continuum at large— for years now. Organizers of the native Netherlands production powerhouse have lined up a multitude of their upper-echelon talent from across the house music spectrum. From big room-ready Bassjackers to Amsterdam’s syrupy club-floor connoisseur, Sam Feldt, Spinnin’ will be boasting a packed rotation on Wednesday at the Q-Factory. 

G-Star RAW RAVE [Electro / Instrumental] Thursday at Rijksmuseum

Beneath the Rijksmuseum’s immaculate bicycle passage on Thursday, G-Star RAW hosts RAW RAVE, the 30th-anniversary celebration of the denim company. With an all-embracing lineup—which includes German house hero and one half of the infamous, Skrillex-assisted Dog Blood duo, Boys Noize, Dutch alt-rock ensemble De Staat, and Amsterdam-housed DJ assassin, TITIA—this one checks all the boxes: a one-of-a-kind backdrop alongside an equally nuanced artist agenda. 

Netsky & Friends [Bass] Thursday at temp.

The multitalented Belgian bass purveyor, Netsky, will be accompanied by fellow heavy-handers, Fox Stevenson, NGHTMRE, Feed Me, and more this year at multifarious event housing, temp. in Amsterdam-Zuid. Bringing some of the very best international drum ‘n’ bass, pop, trap, dubstep, and hard house music, the Thursday evening affront plans for close-knit quarters accompanied by a high-voltage aural atmosphere.

Filth On Acid Pres. Reinier Zonneveld [Techno] Friday at De Marktkantine

If you’re coming from out of town, you owe it to yourself to check out the pulsating and vivacious techno of one of the Netherlands’ very finest, Reinier Zonneveld.  Known for productions that are as tantalizing as his live sets, Zonneveld plans to turn De Marktkantine into his personal studio on Friday night, allowing him to find synergy between his own tracks and improvisations over a marathon 12-hour performance.

Tickets are sold out.

STRAF_WERK X Kölsch Presents IPSO [Techno / House] Friday at De Kromhouthal

Denmark’s Kölsch teams up with STRAF_WERK to bring his lucid and ethereal wave of melodic house to the warehouse styled De Kromhouthal. The IPSO label boss tops off an impressive 2019, one that includes showcase sets at Tomorrowland and Creamfields, with an extended four-hour set at this year’s ADE, supported by label mates Henrik Schwarz [live], Patrice Bäumel, and Nicky Elisabeth.

For a sampling of Kölsch’s charming sound, checkout fabric presents Kölsch from earlier this year.

Defected [House] Friday at World Fashion Centre

London’s Defected imprint will likely prove all but adeptly titled for its 2019 tenure at World Fashion Center. Gearing up for an ultra-potent 12-hour blowout—with the likes of Low Steppa, Gorgon City, Robosonic, and more in tow—Defected is bringing its heaviest hitters and some scintillating special guests to appease ADE-ers from Friday night until the break of Saturday’s dawn. Easily accessible via public transport, with an industrial aesthetic to boot, Defected is primed to set South Amsterdam ablaze at the festival’s midway point.

Tickets are sold out.

Paradise x Loveland [House/Techno] Friday at Warehouse Houthavens

Among a number of Loveland’s scheduled stops en-route to ADE victory, the Paradise party at Warehouse Houthavens rests among the most enticing. Jamie Jones and a number of accomplished cohorts, Alan Fitzpatrick, wAFF, and more, are ready to bring the underground sounds of The White Isle (Ibiza) to Amsterdam on October 18. While landing at a new locale, Paradise plans to make good on its propensity for an intimate, up-close experience with some of the most in-demand names in the subtler house/tech realm.

Tickets are sold out.

Garrix Solo [Big Room] Friday & Saturday at RAI Convention Center

Martin Garrix brings his globally renowned skills home to ADE, the Dutch superstar is set to play an all-nighter to end the week’sFriday showcases at the RAI convention center. Last year’s ADE performance saw the world’s No. 1 DJ debut his ANIMA live show. Expect Garrix to drop the hammer as he hopes to, “Make these shows the best ones yet.”

Friday’s show is 18+, but Garrix runs it back on Saturday for a five-hour all-ages set starting at 5 pm.

Ritter Butzke x Multiversum [Live Electronic] Saturday at The Church of Ruigoord

What better place to worship the sultry sounds of minimal and experimental acts like Christian Löffler, Dominik Eulberg, and Janus Rasmussen (of Kiasmos) than at a literal church? On Saturday night The Church of Ruigoord turns into the holy epicenter of dance music, with six live sets, including a rare performance from the iconic Booka Shade, Ritter Butzke x Multiversum is positioned to be one of ADE’s most intimate and spiritual events.

For a sampling of that evening’s sounds, checkout Christian Löffler’s Cercle set at a castle ruin in the south of France.

Tickets are sold out.

Kompakt Party [Deep House/Left-Field] Saturday at De Marktkantine

Label co-owner Michael Mayer brings his Kompakt crew to ADE for a total showstopper of an event this year. Brazilian mastermind Gui Boratto’s live set alone puts this party near the top of the overwhelming pile of must-see shows at ADE, but back-to-back sets between Mayer and German electronic pioneer Roman Flügel as well as Pachanga Boys and Axel Boman truly make De Marktkantine the place to be on Saturday night.

DGTL x Bonobo present Outlier [Electronica] Saturday at NDSM Warehouse

Bonobo’s Outlier concept relies on finding distinctly different venues so that the performers can craft unique atmospheres that break the mold. This year at ADE the English-born musician has done just that, teaming up with DGTL to take over the shipbuilding warehouse-turned-neighborhood-art-haven in the NDSM Warehouse. Grab the free ferry from Central Station to NDSM on Saturday evening to experience not just Bonobo but an absolute all-star cast behind him, including Jon Hopkins, Catching Flies and The Black Madonna.

Listen to the latest in Bonobo’s ever-evolving nonchalant house sound.

AMF [Trance / Big Room / Future House] Saturday at Johan Cruijff Arena

To put the scope of ADE as a festival into perspective, some of the events held within it are festivals themselves. AMF is a big example; it’s a one-night indoor extravaganza at the Johan Cruijff Arena (capacity of 55,000) with a lineup that, on its own, justifies looking up flights to Amsterdam. The billing features crossover gods Armin van Buuren and Tiësto, as well as Don Diablo, David Guetta, and the icing on the cake, a back-to-back set between Timmy Trumpet and , two of the hardest-hitting acts on the global EDM roster today. Thankfully AMF is on Saturday night, as it’s hard to imagine having any gas left in the tank the morning after.

Dockyard Festival [House/Techno] Saturday at Havenpark

A festival within a festival, Dockyard stands as a longtime fixture in Amsterdam’s all-things-electronic week. With six sprawling stages showcasing both veterans and new names in the house/techno terrain, Dockyard promises a memorable jaunt amid the ADE-goer’s 2019 journey. Havenpark’s waterfront will this year house Dubfire, Nastia, Eats Everything, Ellen Alien, and more on Saturday, October 19. 

Tickets are sold out.

ADE Hangover [Food trucks / Hammocks / Market] Sunday at NDSM WERF

Visit NDSM Werf on Sunday afternoon to soothe your ADE Hangover with a waterside hammock and several servings of vlaamse frites. Cruise the pop-up market, grab a craft beer, or simply sweat out your ADE weekend woes in one of the event’s saunas or hot tubs as you come down from the tumultuous. Entrance is free, so feel free to drag your rave-worn, lifeless self (and friends!) to NDSM whenever you’re feeling capable.  Show up anytime from noon to 11 for a bit of post-ADE revitalization.

Entrance is free.

         Ahmad Jamal

           The Lifetime Achievement Award honors performers who have made contributions  of outstanding artistic significance to the field of recording, while the  Trustees Award recognizes such contributions in areas other than performance.  Both awards are determined by a vote of the Recording Academy's National  Board of Trustees. Technical GRAMMY Award recipients are determined by vote  of the Academy's Producers & Engineers Wing® Advisory Council  and Chapter Committees. The award is presented to individuals and companies  who have made contributions of outstanding technical significance to the  recording field.

         About the Lifetime Achievement Award Honorees:

A deeply spiritual and affecting gospel singer, Shirley Caesar's  emotive vocal talents were discovered in a church choir when she was 10 years  old. She is arguably best known for her eight-year tenure with the  Chicago-based gospel group the Caravans, whom she joined after appealing to Albertina Walker to sing a solo with the group. Electing to pursue a solo career in 1966 alongside her own choir, the Caesar Singers, she subsequently carved out a profile that earned her the title of First Lady of Gospel Music. Caesar's roll call of achievements includes 11 GRAMMY Awards, 14 Stellar  awards, 15 Dove awards, a NAACP Image Award, a Soul Train Music Award, and two recent 59th GRAMMY nominations.

       A prodigy who began playing piano at age 3, Ahmad Jamal started performing professionally at 14 and was signed to Okeh Records by age 21. Trained in both traditional jazz and European classical piano styles, Jamal has been  labeled as a jazz innovator who helped pioneer "cool jazz," which  had a significant influence on Miles Davis, among others. With a catalogue spanning seven decades, he is known for wonderful renditions of pieces such as "Poinciana" and "Dolphin Dance," original compositions such as "Ahmad's Blues," the fantastic compilation Complete Live  At The Spotlight Club 1958, and his most well-known album, 1958's At  The Pershing: But Not For Me.

       Three-time GRAMMY winner Charley Pride taught himself to play guitar  in his early teens, but he dreamed of becoming a professional baseball  player. After playing in the Negro American League, he was signed by RCA  Victor and in 1967 he became the first black singer to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. "Just Between You And Me" launched Pride to stardom, earning him his first GRAMMY nomination for 1966. In 1969 Pride scored his first No. 1 country hit with "All I Have To Offer You (Is  Me)." The recognition led to a long and auspicious career for Pride, who is considered the first African-American superstar in country music.

    Jimmie Rodgers* is widely regarded as the Father of Country Music. In 1961 he became one of the first three people inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. In 1970 he was a part of the inaugural class of songwriters voted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 1986, the first year of Rock and  Roll Hall of Fame inductions, he was inducted under the early influencers category. Rodgers has three recordings in the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame®  — "Blue Yodel (T For Texas)" and "In The Jailhouse Now"  (both from 1928) and "Blue Yodel #9 (Standing On The Corner)" (1930).

    Nina Simone

            Dr. Nina Simone*, known as the High Priestess of Soul, was a child prodigy whose dreams of becoming a classical musician were deferred by the color of her skin. Her fearlessness and deep commitment to the civil  rights movement gave birth to such classics as "Mississippi  Goddam," "Four Women," and "To Be Young, Gifted, And  Black." Her approach to music was so versatile she labeled her  style black classical. From R&B and rock to jazz, gospel, blues, folk, and Broadway, Simone brought her unique style to each genre. Her interpretations of "Feeling Good" and "Sinnerman" are  classics that fans around the world still enjoy. Her version of "I Loves  You, Porgy," which became a Top 20 single in 1959, was inducted into the  GRAMMY Hall Of Fame in 2000.  Sylvester "Sly Stone" Stewart is an iconic American  musician, songwriter and producer most famous for his role as frontman of Sly  & The Family Stone. Classic hits penned by Stone, including "Thank  You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)," "Everyday People,"  "Dance To The Music," and "There's A Riot Going On," played a critical role in the development of soul, funk, rock, and psychedelia in the 1960s and 1970s. Sly & The Family Stone were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. The group has four recordings in  the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame.

        Despite a relatively brief lifespan and limited commercial success, the Velvet Underground are now recognized as one of the most influential rock bands  of all time. Comprising Lou Reed*, John Cale, Sterling  Morrison*, and Maureen "Moe" Tucker, the band was,  perhaps, ahead of their time, both visually and sonically. Often dubbed the  quintessential proto-punk band, they have been continually cited as  the  benchmark for countless modern-rock movements over the past 50 years. The  Velvet Underground's seminal 1967 debut album, The Velvet Underground  & Nico, was inducted into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame in 2008.

          About The Trustees Award Honorees:

     Producer/arranger/songwriter Thom Bell was one of the cornerstones of  the Philadelphia Soul legacy. He was a prime architect in the development of  a '70s soul sound that moved beyond the grit of Southern soul and the effervescence of Motown by building complex and sophisticated arrangements around smooth strings, elegant horns and a driving rhythm that anticipated  the rise of disco. With the Delfonics, the Stylistics, the Spinners and  others, Bell established his trademark sound with sweet strings and muted brass led by the French horn. Hits such as "I’ll Be Around" and  "Betcha By Golly, Wow" cemented his stature as one of the all-time  great songwriter/producers, and his partnership with Kenny Gamble and Leon  Huff helped create the quintessential sound of Philadelphia.

        Mo Ostin is one of the greatest record executives in music history.  While he started out at Verve, it was helming Frank Sinatra's Reprise Records  where Ostin came into his own. With Reprise Records and ultimately Warner  Bros., Ostin discovered and worked with the seminal artists of the generation, such as Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, Prince, and Neil Young, while also developing a staff that was legendary in their own right. With an  artist-friendly disposition, Ostin led with the idea that great art made  great business — most of the bands signed under his watch made both critically  acclaimed and profitable records. Ostin was honored with The Recording  Academy's President's Merit Award at the 2006 GRAMMY Salute To Industry Icons®.

Peer* was a successful recording executive, archetypal A&R man and music publisher whose career spanned from 1919 to  1960. Through his work as a music executive, he continually broadened  the palate of genres that music makers and audiences embraced. He was  the executive producer of the Mamie Smith’s “Crazy  Blues," the first blues record that sparked the genre, James P.  Johnson's "Carolina Shout," considered by historians to be among the first jazz piano solo recordings, and Fiddlin' John Carson's "The Little Old Log Cabin In The Lane," the first country  record released. He was the producer of the 1927 Bristol Sessions, considered  the "Big Bang" of country music, where he discovered Jimmie Rodgers  and the original Carter family. He broadened his focus by publishing  Latin music in the U.S. and around the globe. Fifty-nine recordings produced  or published by Ralph S. Peer have been inducted into the GRAMMY Hall Of  Fame.

    Alan Dower Blumlein* received 128 patents on his way to becoming one  of the most significant audio inventors of his time. His most noteworthy  patent was for the stereo in 1931, a development that was spurred by a visit to the cinema and being frustrated that the sound from a single speaker didn't match with the actors and action on screen.

A First-ever Collaboration With World-renowned Artists For Super Bowl LIV

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

By SPORT EDITOR FOR SUSTAIN HEALTH 

PUBLISHED: 04:22, 29 January 2020 | UPDATED: 05:28, 29 January 2020

To celebrate 100 seasons of the National Football League (NFL), Goldman Global Arts (GGA) – the curators behind the renowned Wynwood Walls – and the NFL have collaborated to make an artistic statement at Super Bowl LIV across Miami.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

A curated group of artists including Tristan Eaton, Dasic Fernández, Joe Iurato, Kelsey Montague, and RISK will be showcasing their work through various platforms all highlighting different pieces of NFL100.

"It was important to the NFL to celebrate the 100th season through décor in a special way. We're thrilled to bring this first of its kind partnership to Miami," said Daphne Wood, NFL Director of Events.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

"Each artist brought a unique perspective to help tell the NFL story in a way we've never told it before. The most exciting part of collaborating on a platform like this, showcasing Miami's enriched art culture, is creating once-in-a-lifetime memories for NFL fans while sharing the story of 100th season on a global platform."

For the first time ever, cultural relevance to the city and stadium will play a leading role in the Super Bowl Game Day Ticket and Commemorative Program. The NFL's Big Hits Program is being transformed with the GGA collaboration in a global way through art with a broader audience reach in celebration of NFL100.

The five artists have been commissioned to create and integrate large scale murals, sculptures, and building wraps into the Super Bowl LIV experience like never before. Varying in style and technique, this year's Super Bowl will bring together 100 seasons of professional football and thought-provoking art.

"I am thrilled about the collaboration between Goldman Global Arts and the NFL as it is one that celebrates creativity, encourages inclusivity and captures the spirit of the sport in unexpected ways," said Jessica Goldman Srebnick, Founder and CEO of Goldman Global Arts. "In our work together, the NFL has embraced the genre of street art and Miami's growing art culture in an authentic and powerful way. Super Bowl LIV is poised to push the boundaries of creativity, ignite conversation and bring immense joy, all while honoring the sport of football in one of the greatest cities in the world!"​

"GGA and the Wynwood artists have been great collaborators. Football means so much to so many and art is similarly transcendent," said Mollie Wilkie, NFL Creative Director in Global Brand and Consumer Marketing. "Our hope is we're opening up both football and street art to a broader audience and everyone takes away something a little different."

Spearheading this group of notable artists is Tristan Eaton who has created the face of the Super Bowl LIV ticket and two renditions of the program which includes a hologram version for ticket holders, both of which embody the excitement of the 100th season as seen through the lens of the Super Bowl in Miami.

Eaton will also take on a painting of the Lombardi Trophy at Super Bowl Opening Night presented by Bolt24 on Monday, January 27 showing his unique style. Eaton's large-scale mural work feature meticulous, visual collages of pop imagery mixed with his unique personal style, all executed with freehand spray paint on a colossal scale. His unique works can be found across the world, from Paris to Shanghai to the Wynwood Walls.

"This epic illustration captures the excitement and celebration of the Super Bowl over the past 100 years with a specific nod to Miami," said artist Tristan Eaton. "It makes me happy to see art being used as the catalyst to celebrate the 100th season at Super Bowl LIV. Football has brought my family together for years as it has for millions of fans across the globe, so it's an honor to contribute to that legacy with my own original art."

Chilean artist Dasic Fernández's mural will combine the Vince Lombardi Trophy with the passion and spirit of our fans—showcasing their role in defining the NFL as universal, on 27 stories of the Citigroup Center building in Downtown Miami. The artist's colorful work is inspired by nineteenth and twentieth century artists like Vincent Van Gogh, Wassily Kandinsky and Roberto Matta. He believes street art contains the "essential" quality of providing space in which to connect with the public directly.

Artwork will not only be woven through the stadium and programming – Joe Iurato's individual pieces will be featured on the ground throughout the NFL's footprint in Miami, creating an organic scavenger hunt of 10 of the biggest moments in NFL history from the last century. Fans will be able to use the ONEPASS app to hunt for moments like the 1920 first owners meeting, the 1972 Dolphins Perfect Season and the 2008 Helmet Catch.

Joe Iurato is a multidisciplinary artist whose works are built on a foundation of stencils and aerosol. While Iurato's murals have adorned neighborhoods along the east coast of the United States for years, he's more recently have become noted for the unique placement and photography of miniature painted wood cutouts in public spaces. Utilizing the outdoor environment to create site-specific installations, Iurato creates windows into a narrative formed by personal experiences.

Kelsey Montague is an American mural artist who will bring her playful artistic approach to the NFL experience at the Miami Beach Convention Center with a family-friendly interactive mural combining the 32 NFL clubs and the AFC and NFC team represented in the Super Bowl into individual works. She is known for her wing-inspired artwork on the walls of major cities like New York and Nashville. The well-travelled muralist, who loves to incorporate her experiences into her work, has emerged as one of the most admired artists on social media. One of the biggest reasons behind her popularity among the younger generation is that she encourages them to express themselves on social media through her art.

Kelly Graval better known by his artist name RISK will embrace the fan engagement style with his 40-foot mural in neon font providing a backdrop for football fans that have come from near and far to celebrate Super Bowl LIV at the Super Bowl LIVE festival at Bayfront Park. Risk was one of the first artists to exhibit graffiti and street art in galleries. In the course of his nearly 30-year career, RISK has become one of the most influential figures for subsequent generations of graffiti artists and is considered one of the first artists to have painted on freight trains, as well as a pioneer of "painting in the heavens" — a graffiti term referring to highly elevated surfaces like billboards, rooftops, and overpasses.

Just starting out with Git and GitHub? It gets easier, honest!

Undoubtedly you have known about Git or GitHub for source control, however what is source control?

This is an essential diagram of source code control and the upsides of utilizing it inside a group domain or utilizing it all alone, on the off chance that you do a Google look for source code control you can read how Wikipedia characterizes Source control, as:

"Modification control (otherwise called form control, source control or (source) code administration (SCM)) is the administration of numerous amendments of a similar unit of data."

Cool story br0! At the end of the day: Source control permits conveyed work in groups of any size, at various areas, while maintaining a strategic distance from clashes in source code changes.

Truly!? A debt of gratitude is in order for clearing that up!

Lets take a gander at it along these lines…

In its least difficult term it resembles a "Spare As". You need the new document without disposing of the progressions on the old one. It's an ordinary circumstance, with the exception of on a product extend there is the potential for a great deal of changes.

Ideas

There are some fundamental ideas about form control I'll rapidly go here, these terms utilized as a part of numerous SCM frameworks some significant to Git and GitHub some to different frameworks.

Archive/repo: The database putting away the records.

Branch: Create a different duplicate of a repo for use on your PC.

Return/rollback: Go back to a formerly spared rendition of the codebase/repo.

Push: Push is a get to level on the repo, on the off chance that you have no push get to you should make a force ask.

Pull: If you have no Push get to you can make a force demand which will advise the repo proprietor you need to combine your progressions into their code.

On the off chance that you are quite recently beginning then your most utilized summons will presumably be :

git include .

git confer - m 'some enlightening message'

git push birthplace ace

Those summons have served me well in my beginning of figuring out how to recover my code up to GitHub.

Git and GitHub

Git and GitHub are two separate things, Git is a free and open source adaptation control framework while GitHub utilizes Git innovation to have your storehouses on the GitHub.com servers.

Git and GitHub were somewhat confounding for me when I initially begun with them, I knew about VCS before yet that was in the state of Microsoft's Visual SourceSafe and Team Foundation Server where you have a pleasant GUI to guide you through the registration and registration handle, for those the procedure was:

Registration: make a duplicate of the storehouse you needed to roll out improvements to on your machine, once you have rolled out your improvement then, Check-in your progressions.

Registration: add your progressions back to the store with a going with message itemizing the change you have made.

With Git it's somewhat less favor, all through the charge line, however practically the same as with VSS and TFS.

Clone the vault: Make a duplicate of the repo on your machine.

Roll out improvements.

Once the progressions are made then include them back with going with confer messages.

Push the progressions back to the repo on Github.

The documentation on GitHub is awesome for anything you need to accomplish and in this post I have referenced some the documentation.

It can get somewhat overpowering however, particularly in the event that you escape synchronize, i.e. neglect to pull a change made on the remote then attempt to check your progressions in before maneuvering the progressions into your neighborhood rendition. I'm in no way, shape or form certain if things go somewhat wrong yet I have built up a "Submit Often Perfect Later" approach so in the event that you do break something you din't lose excessively of you significant time attempting to work out what turned out badly where.

On the off chance that you investigate a repo you have cloned from GitHub you will see there is a document called .git this resembles a little database of the considerable number of changes you have made on your machine and it contains all the data it needs to associate with GitHub and roll out the improvements it needs to make to the ace repo [or whatever branch you're pushing the progressions to].

I made a cheat sheet Gist which I utilized each time I went close Git, it has now transformed into a repo of other cheat sheets despite everything I use once a day.

In it I cover these circumstances:

Make another venture on your machine that you need to add to GitHub? Look here.

Cloning a repo from another person's GitHub and driving it to a repo on my GitHub, or "I didn't make a fork, what do I do now!"

You have a fork which you have to refresh before rolling out any improvements.

Work process will be distinctive for varying circumstances, for me as a noob engineer I have attempted to archive anything I have gone over with Git so I can reference back to it for that one time I require it however can't recall what I did at 21:45 on a Wednesday just to get the code registered with GitHub.

There are numerous GUIs that incorporate with Git for use with GitHub the authority GitHub one is really pleasant however I rapidly got into circumstances that the GUI couldn't get me out of so I have stayed with the terminal since, well there is VSCode however which has a wonderful Git UI that I utilize day by day, yet there are a few things that regardless I utilize the terminal for:

git status

git checkout <branch-name>

git [push] labels

All entirely convenient, there is likely augmentations out there to help with these however for the present I'm quite open to doing it by means of the order line.

Any tips or deceives you use in Git you'd jump at the chance to share? If it's not too much trouble don't hesitate to leave a remark or better still add to the repo through a force ask.

On the off chance that any of this has helped you in any capacity don't hesitate to like the article and offer it via web-based networking media.

We took the element for a turn taking after Mountain Lion's dispatch last Wednesday, and found that it worked precisely as publicized—the length of you have a bolstered Mac. That "upheld Mac" impediment is imperative, in any case: just 2011 or more current MacBook Pros, MacBook Airs, Mac minis, and iMacs can utilize Mountain Lion's implicit AirPlay bolster. Have a 2010 MacBook Air? A Mac Pro? A more established iMac? Indeed, there's no Airplay Mirroring for you.

The reason, we found, is that the component depends on Intel's QuickSync equipment quickened video pressure innovation. QuickSync is an element of the coordinated illustrations incorporated with Intel's Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge arrangement processors.

In any case, in the event that you have a more seasoned machine or haven't refreshed to Mountain Lion, it doesn't really mean you can't stream your Mac's show to an Apple TV. An outsider shareware application that works with Snow Leopard or later on an assortment of Mac equipment is accessible, and we discovered it works great. It likewise offers some interesting components that Apple's execution does not.

There are upsides and downsides to every strategy for reflecting your Mac's show to an Apple TV; we'll detail both underneath.

Local Mountain Lion strategy

Apple has incorporated AirPlay Mirroring into Mountain Lion in an extremely Apple-like way. Once your settings are turned on in System Preferences > Displays, tap the AirPlay symbol in the menu bar, click Apple TV, and that is it (expecting your PC and Apple TV are on a similar system). On my test Retina MacBook Pro, the show naturally changed to a 1920x1080 pixel determination and began gushing video and sound to the 55" level board in my family room.

Of course, the screen determination changes to a "Best for AirPlay" setting. You can open the Displays inclination sheet (specifically from the AirPlay menulet, in the event that you like) and pick another determination—Mountain Lion will scale it to fit your HDTV. One intriguing piece we saw is that on the off chance that you switch on AirPlay Mirroring and let it naturally switch determination, it will switch back when you kill AirPlay Mirroring. On the off chance that you change settings while it's in reflecting mode, regardless of the possibility that you change back to the 1920x1080 setting, it won't consequently switch back.

(The way it works bodes well. In any case, on the off chance that it doesn't switch when you expect, now you know why.)In our testing, video spilled to the Apple TV was sharp, point by point, and refreshed with a smooth casing rate—notwithstanding when utilizing a non-1080p determination. With the MacBook Pro's desktop shown on the TV, it felt like a characteristic expansion of the inherent display.Everything we attempted worked easily, including playing iTunes, perusing sites, composing content, seeing Keynote slides, and playing QuickTime trailers. We attempted both 720p gushing and 1080p downloads for the trailers, and both looked awesome spilled to the Apple TV. Standard UI content was likewise effectively coherent from the lounge chair, regardless of whether utilizing the upgraded 1920x1080 determination or scaling the standard "Retina" resolution.Only QuickSync-perfect Macs require apply

Mountain Lion's coordinated AirPlay reflecting bolster just works with the accompanying Mac models:

iMac—Mid 2011 or more up to date

Macintosh small scale—Mid 2011 or more current

MacBook Air—Mid 2011 or more up to date

MacBook Pro—Early 2011 or more up to date

On the off chance that your Mac isn't on that rundown, your won't ever observe an AirPlay choice in Mountain Lion's menubar.

What isolates these Macs from other Mountain Lion-good machines is that these are the main models that have bolster for Intel's QuickSync innovation. What affirmed this necessity for me was the way that my Retina MacBook Pro changed to incorporated Intel HD4000 design notwithstanding when generally running on the discrete NVIDIA GT 650M GPU. Regardless of what you are doing or what determination you are running, AirPlay Mirroring in Mountain Lion requires a coordinated Intel HD3000 or HD4000 design processor and its QuickSync innovation to work, full stop.

The upside is that on the off chance that you have an upheld Mac and are running Mountain Lion, AirPlay Mirroring acts as publicized. The drawback is that more seasoned machines, and all Mac Pros, are let alone for the "official" AirPlay party.

The AirParrot technique

On the off chance that you don't have a bolstered Mac, be that as it may, you can at present stream media to an Apple TV. What you need is AirParrot, a $10 shareware application from non mainstream designer Squirrels. Dispatch the application, click its menubar symbol, and select your Apple TV. Like Mountain Lion's local AirPlay Mirroring highlight, your desktop is shown ideal on your boob tube.AirParrot keeps running on the most recent variant of Snow Leopard (10.6.8), and additionally Lion (10.7.x) and Mountain Lion (10.8). What's more, it keeps running on any Intel-based Mac (however the more seasoned the equipment, the more it will battle to stream at an adequate edge rate). On my 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Air, video was simply somewhat choppy.As a special reward, there's additionally a rendition of AirParrot that keeps running on Windows. Have an Apple TV however no Macs at home? You can at present stream non-iTunes substance to your parlor. Or, on the other hand, you can flaunt a PowerPoint introduction from your Windows tablet to the Apple TV in the gathering room at the workplace.

Beside more extensive similarity, AirParrot offers a couple favorable circumstances over AirPlay Mirroring, as well. Rather than reflecting your Mac's show, you can expand the desktop, utilizing a HDTV as a moment screen. You can likewise demonstrate a solitary window from a particular application, which is fixated on the screen—extraordinary for concealing all the additional things you may have going ahead in different applications while giving an introduction or demo, for example.

AirParrot's inclinations incorporate the capacity to change the video quality and edge rate to improve execution for your specific Mac. Different inclinations let you conceal the mouse cursor, restrain gushing to 720p yield, or extend application windows to fill 16:9 proportions.Audio yield can likewise be empowered or debilitated independently from video spilling, not at all like AirPlay Mirroring. Be that as it may, it requires downloading and introducing an additional sound driver to work. It's not a gigantic arrangement, truly, but rather the driver establishment required a restart.

Six of one, about six of the other

AirParrot offers fundamentally more adaptability and more extensive similarity than AirPlay Mirroring. Be that as it may, the distinctions highlight a philosophical refinement between the "Apple route" of getting things done and what clients may somehow need.

As we noted before, AirPlay Mirroring is dead easy to utilize. Beside alternatively changing the determination, there's essentially no setup or control included. You turn it on, it works, and you turn it off when you're set. The equipment based QuickSync pressure makes gushing smooth at high edge rates, and has next to no slack. Particular equipment is required to give the end-client this streamlined involvement, however, so Apple constrains the component to those machines.

AirParrot, then again, empowers a significantly more extensive assortment of equipment to stream to an Apple TV. In any case, the experience on lesser equipment isn't as clear or as smooth. There's more discernible inactivity, the casing rate might be uneven or conflicting, or you may need to make due with all the more very packed yield.

AirParrot's continuous scaling depends on huge CPU control which can make your machine's fans make a ton of clamor or different applications to back off. Mountain Lion's AirPlay Mirroring, then again, scarcely blipped the CPU when I tried it, as the QuickSync equipment does the greater part of the hard work. AirParrot's engineers take note of that setting your Mac to the local determination of your Apple TV (either 1280x720 or 1920x1080) can essentially diminish CPU utilization, as can constraining the edge rate or decreasing video quality. Yet, doing as such still requires client intercession.

Viably, Apple exchanges higher or later equipment necessities for a more straightforward, smoother client encounter. AirParrot exchanges many-sided quality and CPU use for more components and more extensive similarity. In the event that you have a perfect machine and are now running Mountain Lion, AirPlay Mirroring will most likely fulfill your necessities. Be that as it may, in the event that you don't have perfect equipment, AirParrot is unquestionably worth considering. Simply be set up to change your settings to suit your Mac's capacities.
