Fender Celebrates 70 Years of Strat with Multi-guitarist “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)”

In commemoration of 70 years of Strat-is-faction, Fender put together a multi-artist, instrumental version of “Voodoo Child (Slight Return).”

It’s all about that axe, after all.

Featuring Tom Morello, Nile Rodgers, Ari O’Neal, Mateus Asato, Rei, Tash Sultana, Jimmie Vaughan, Rebecca Lovell, Tyler Bryant and Simon Neil playing Stratocaster guitars over Craig Young’s bass and Aaron Sterling’s drums, this busy, 60-string celebration works better in theory than practice.

The newest “Voodoo Child” is bombastic in the extreme and just as heavy-handed. But with the accompanying video featuring the guitarists spliced on and off an outdoor bandstand stacked with amps, it makes for a fine Fender advert and reminds listeners of the subtle qualities that made Hendrix so special.

Basil from Great Mouse Detective

Name: Basil Baker Age: 42 Profession: Private Investigator Pronouns: He/Him FC Suggestions: Sterling K. Brown, Aaron Tveit, James McAvoy Face Claim: Aaron Tveit Availability: Taken

Basil Baker's family moved from London to Godscobh when he was around 10, and though it was hard to leave Britain, he was excited for the new experience. When Basil first landed in Godscobh as a boy, he would scurry up and down every street with bright eyes and curiosity for every corner. In such a big town, surely there were endless places to get a good education, work an honest job, and make great friends!

No such luck. Basil found out very quickly that a mousy kid like him would do well to stay off the streets of Godscobh, especially in the dark evenings when Zika's goons came out to play. He was a good, honest kid, always picking up new skills and staying true to his moral compass in the town that was constantly trying to steer him off course. He might've even been called a scholar and a prodigy at this point; in the fields of violin, logic, debate, and more extracurriculars that led him to intellectual excellence.

Although he longed to return to London after high school, Basil knew the police force couldn't be trusted to keep Godscobh out of sinister hands. Ever since he was old enough to build his own business, Basil has been working to uncover the secrets of the town's underbelly. He's known for being eccentric and wild about solving mysteries, and even more shady once he knows something you don't want him knowing... Though he'd never blackmail and lie to get what he wants, Basil knows knowledge is power in this town, and he hopes solving enough mysteries will one day take down the powerhouses who've built the seedy darkness that lurks within Godscobh's streets.

For the past 30 years, Basil has been known as a shady character about town in his own right - more moral than the police, but more reclusive than Oberron or Barbossa even. Maybe he's been studying, lying in wait for something big to come out. Maybe he's just lonely. He's been working on one goal for so long, there's little that he lets distract him from what he wants. Like friends, and neighbors, and, well... being generally nice.

Bad movie I have Weedjies!: Halloweed Night 2019

[twstrhythm]

During the Endless Halloween Night/Spectral Soirée, which of your OCs were on the rescue teams and which ones were possessed?

Of course this is just NRC kids (and Sterling since he had still been there at the time)

Rescue Teams: 15 people.

Aaron, Caius, Elise, Haoyu, Hubert, KunMing, Nalani, Peri, Rayan, Shi Yin, Sterling, Theodore, Varian, YunLong, and Zixuan.

Unfortunate victims of possession: 14 people

Aster, Emil, Ester, Jian-Yu, Jiao-Long, Li Feng, Longwei, Matthew, Sebastien, Shen, Xavi, Xiaoshi, Xinyi, and Xue Long

Let's just say they were all a pain in the ass to rescue

[hoe4hotchner]

Hiii!! Could you do another non bau rich fem!reader where she gave Aaron lots of designer stuff and he starts wearing them to work? Like maybe ties, cuff links, and like an LV duffel bag and the team is just like “??? Woah dude where’d you get that??”

Subtle flex | [A.H]

Pairing: Aaron Hotchner x rich fem!reader| WC: 0.9k | CW: nothing

Aaron Hotchner was usually not one for excess. His wardrobe was practical and professional, his tastes minimalistic, and his life, outside of Jack, revolved around efficiency and exuding authority on the job. Sure he had splurged occasionally on a stray high-quality tie here and there as well as his Rolex watch. At least that was until you entered his life.  

The first gift was a tie — a deep navy one in silk with subtle pinstripes. It came in a sleek wrapped box with some designer brand he had never even heard of before. You’d handed it to him with a casual smile, brushing off his initial protests with a light, “Aaron, I saw it and thought of you. Let me spoil you for once.”  

He wore it the next day, paired with his standard black suit, and noticed how it caught the light in the mirror. “Looks good,” he muttered to himself, brushing his hand over it. As hesitant as he had been to accept it, he was thankful for the present and happy that you'd chosen one that wasn't smothered in logos or brand names.

Then came the cuff links. They were sterling silver and engraved with his initials. He opened the box late one evening after you handed it to him over dinner. “You didn’t have to,” he said softly, though his smile betrayed how much he loved them.  

“Of course, I didn’t have to,” you replied, leaning in to press a kiss to his temple. “But you deserve nice things, Aaron. You do so much good without even expecting a thanks.”  

And so it continued. A Louis Vuitton duffel bag for his work trips, a black leather wallet that somehow managed to look even more professional than the one he’d carried for years, and a collection of even more ties that were understated yet undeniably luxurious and seemed to multiply in his closet every so often.  

At first, he rotated the items slowly into his everyday wardrobe, unsure if they would draw attention. But one particularly chaotic morning, he grabbed the LV duffel, clipped on the cuff links, and shrugged into a jacket before heading into the office having gotten an urgent notification for a case.  

It didn’t take long for the team to notice.  

“Uh… Hotch?” Morgan’s voice cut through the usual buzz in the conference room as Hotch entered. “Is that a Louis Vuitton bag you’re carrying?”  

Hotch glanced at him briefly, setting the duffel down by the door before striding towards the front of the room to grab the file Garcia was holding outstretched for him. “Yes. Why?”  

Morgan blinked. “Why? Man, you’ve been holding out on us. Since when do you roll up looking like you just stepped out of GQ Magazine?”  

Emily leaned back in her chair, eyebrows raised. “Is that a new tie, too? That’s at least Tom Ford.”  

Hotch adjusted his tie instinctively. “It’s not. It’s Brioni.”  

“Oh, excuse us,” JJ chimed in throwing her hands up and exchanging an amused glance with Emily.  

“I’m sorry,” Spencer Reid piped up, pushing his glasses up his nose. “Are those cuff links monogrammed?”  

“Okay, seriously,” Morgan said, crossing his arms. “What’s going on, Hotch? You win the lottery or something? Cause if your salary is high enough for those purchases Imma have to talk to Strauss about a raise.”  

Hotch, shrugged lightly as he opened his case file. “No. My girlfriend has… a habit of giving gifts.”  

The room fell silent for a beat before Emily’s jaw dropped. “Wait, girlfriend? You’ve been holding out on us in more ways than one!”

"Who is she I need details," Garcia cut into the conversation, her excitement starting to bubble over.

JJ smirked. “Are you telling me she just gives you designer gifts casually? I agree with Garcia, who is this woman?”  

Hotch allowed himself the smallest of smiles as he glanced up from his paperwork. “Someone who insists I deserve the finer things.”  

“Damn,” Morgan muttered, shaking his head. “Where can I find one of those?”  

“Maybe start with charm school,” Emily teased.  

As the team bantered, Hotch’s phone buzzed on his desk. A message from you:  

Miss you already. Hope you’re putting the cuff links to good use. Dinner at my place when you get back?

He smiled quickly at his phone before typing back a quick reply.  

Always. I’ll bring the wine.  

When he looked up, the team was staring at him, curious. “What?” he asked, his tone amused, knowing fully well that they wouldn't stop bothering him about you until he eventually agreed to let them meet you.  

“Nothing,” Emily said, though her grin suggested otherwise. “Just trying to imagine Aaron Hotchner in love with a rich fashionista.”  

“Not just a fashionista,” Morgan added, gesturing toward the duffel. “An angel sent from the heavens, apparently.”  

Hotch shook his head, lifting his file up in the air in a quick and smooth motion as if to remind them why they were there. “Focus, everyone. We have a case.”  

A few days later, when you saw Aaron again, he mentioned the team’s reaction with a mix of exasperation and amusement.  

“I think they’re more interested in my wardrobe than the case,” he said, loosening his tie as he sat beside you on the couch.  

You laughed softly, running a hand through his hair. “Let them wonder. They’ll get used to it eventually.”  

“I’m not sure they ever will,” he muttered, leaning into your touch.  

“Good,” you teased, leaning in to kiss him. “I like keeping them on their toes.”

NEON LIGHTS Co-Written by @briedabmbshll Novella - Chapters

In the glitzy world of Hollywood, it can be easy to crash and burn under the California sun. Few are more self-sabotaging than R&B singer/songwriter, Jameson Lucas. The only thing the charming playboy is known for more than his long list of lovers is his Grammy wins. Imani St. Cirie, an emotive singer/songwriter herself, is the latest in a long line of women he's wronged but she's determined to different. Imani refuses to let Jameson make or break her. The two A-listers are consistently drawn together by an electric chemistry that neither can deny or easily manage. As common sense pulls them in opposite directions -- friendships are tested, old flames resurface, and new opportunities threaten to tear them apart for good. They must decide if their love is strong enough to withstand the weight of the mistakes in their past. In this industry, dreams can make or break you -- but what happens when love becomes the gamble of a lifetime?

WHO'D YOU RATHER?: 100 MALE ACTORS EDITION

A game I often spring on friends who are as obsessed with pop culture as I am is Who'd You Rather?. The terms are loose and we usually do it as a progression (so your last choice is often pitted against a new one). It's light fun but my diabolical goal is usually to torture someone with a choice of nearly equal weight (like I did to myself with the first two selections).
