Ellie Goulding Launches Orchestra-Backed Tour with Sold-Out Show at Kings Theatre

Ellie Goulding – Kings Theatre – November 16, 2023

Siren (noun): a woman who sings with enchanting sweetness. That’s the perfect definition for Ellie Goulding, a unique soprano with a vibrato that can hit peaks and a lower breathy register that caresses souls. The English singer has long collaborated with producers in the electronic-dance space, like Calvin Harris and Diplo, but it’s her undeniable vocals that have anchored Goulding’s career for more than a decade. With the release of her fifth studio album, Higher Than Heaven, this past spring, she’s back on tour with a twist: Goulding’s passion for classical music began with her playing the clarinet at age nine and has now inspired three U.S. performances with an orchestra. On Thursday at a sold-out Kings Theatre, she kicked off a minitour with Wordless Music Orchestra to reimagine many of her hits and newer material. 

Stripping away the synthesized dance beats for strings, Goulding opened with “Burn” in a white-hot floor-length gown. The set was a mix of newer, older and somewhere-in-the-middle material, delighting assembled fans. Her soprano belts carried throughout the venue, and there were times when she pulled away from the microphone and the pureness of her instrument was clearly heard. This was a dream for Goulding, as she basked in the orchestral outro on “New Heights.” While admitting to playing many a rave, Goulding’s always wanted to tour with an orchestra. On Thursday, she opted for ballads and sad songs, like oldie “I Know You Care” and the mature, self-reflective “Woman.” 

After a brief interval, the full orchestra and soprano returned to really get at some reinterpretations of those dance hits, like the Calvin Harris–produced “I Need Your Love” and the crowd-favorite “Anything Could Happen,” with string arrangements building the tempo. Despite the ornate surroundings, it felt like a club as everyone joined in to sing the chorus on both tracks while bouncing in and out of their seats. Wordless Music made the night, from the harp accompaniment on “Your Song” to the exquisite piano outro on “Dead in the Water.” And Goulding finally capped off the performance with a pair of hits, “Lights” and “Love Me Like You Do” as the encore. —Sharlene Chiu | @Shar0ck

I love the Agatha Christie question!

Who are your HP/Twilight faves in the Christie universe? (Who’s the opportunist who knows too much and dies for it? Who’s the conman killer who courts the girl to avoid suspicion? Who’s just trying to take a holiday and gets caught-up in a murder? Who are the dynamic mystery-solving duo who realize they are in love by the end of the novel? etc.).

I mean, that is kind of what The Man Who Would Be King (and secret fic) (both cowritten with @theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin) have already become. We have our murder victim, Alphard, a very rich man with a colorful family, and possibly his sister, we have our unlikely detectives in Voldemort, Lily Potter, and Alphard himself. It may not be the center of the story but it's a large part of it.

In other words my answer for Harry Potter would somehow spoil all my present and future fics so I won't.

As for the Twilight version...

I vote we do it wealthy dysfunctional family style, it's most natural.

A patriarch is poisoned

Carlisle Cullen, a very wealthy man with powerful enemies, nonetheless dear to those around him and blessed with more friends than most, is found dead in his office one morning. Cause of death? Murder.

The police, caught on the detail that Dr. Cullen was a vampire and vampires are real, what the fuck is this on the doctor's autopsy table and is he going to wake up again and drink all our blood?, are little use in the investigation. Scotland Yard is soon brought in, and using Chief Swan's connections with the family they get a better picture of Dr. Cullen's life.

His family wasn't looking to inherit him anytime soon, as he was immortal. None of them were having money troubles however, all were independently wealthy.

He had made enemies of a thousand-year-old clan of powerful vampires, who on hearing that his murder is being investigated like this get very upset. Supposedly the victim lived with them in his youth (and inspector Craddock cries when he learns the timeline for this murder goes back to the 1600s. Are they going to have to bring historians in on this murder??), he might have known something

Oh what's that? The victim had a whole network of friends across the globe, who are all killers, and he knew everyone's secrets? ... do we have the budget to investigate this?

The victim was also living next to a tribe of magical shapeshifting wolves evolved specifically to kill his kind. They liked him best and had a line in their treaty that "he dies last". Not sure what to do with this information

Rosalie Hale missing person case from 1933 solved: Carlisle Cullen adopted her. Was she recognised, did someone piece it together, and was Carlisle killed in retribution?

The victim lived a fake life of fake papers. Could be important, except it's the most normal thing about this case.

The police wonder how this man didn't get murdered sooner, and are stretched so thin the investigation is going slowly.

So, Renesmee gets to be our plucky detective du jour, as she decides to see if she can help. Surely there is no harm in her poking around, and she's well liked around the vampire world so there might be answers she can get that human police can't, partly because policemen keep getting eaten.

She slowly narrows it down to the horrible realization that it was someone in the family, and she learns terrible things.

Jasper Hale wasn't Jasper Hale at all! He was a friend of Jasper's in the newborn army who wanted a new life, and who in the wake of Jasper's suden and unexpected death assumed his identity. He had Peter bite his entire face so he'd be scarred like Jasper had been, and vouch for this blond vampire most definitely being Jasper Hale. Peter later had to die because he Knew Too Much, and so did Charlotte, regrettably. Fake Jasper did however not kill Carlisle.

Edward seems a prime suspect, he is an angry and resentful young man who acts out. Everyone thinks he did it, and that Bella should certainly marry Jacob, the safer option. Much upheaval is had, however, once Renesmee is able to clear Edward's name and he meaningfully links arms with Bella. They sail off into the sunset with their inheritance.

Rosalie is a beautiful, cold, intimidating woman, the femme fatale sort who's surely conniving. It's a bit of a mystery why she married that poor fool Emmett, but it's clear to all she doesn't love him. No clear motive from her, other than the money she would inherit, but she's just so suspicious. Her alibi is ambiguous, she claims she was with Esme and Emmett but what if Esme and Emmett are lying to protect their daughter and wife? Superintendent Battle wonders about that.

Renesmee is at a loss.

And then she realizes that it's not Rosalie who acts like she doesn't love Emmett, it's Emmett who acts like he doesn't love her! And Esme's grieving widow act is just that, it's an act!

Renesmee realizes that Emmett and Esme are lovers, and killed Carlisle together. Esme committed it while Emmett tricked Rosalie into giving her an alibi. Renesmee realizes this once she has a "But Rosalie couldn't have seen Esme from that angle!" moment.

The plan was too pin Rosalie for the murder, see her hanged, and then in due time the mourning widowers would marry, happily entitled to all the money they couldn't have touched if they'd divorced. Also Rosalie was Catholic so she wouldn't have agreed to a divorce.

The two lovers are confronted, and Esme pulls out a tiny pearl-studded gun from her shoe, says "We tried, my love. I regret nothing" before shooting first Emmett, then herself.

Hi Frank, I hope you're doing well! Have you been practicing mixology lately? Do you have any fun drink ideas that you've been dying to try?

Have a nice night 💖

I haven't been practicing mixology per se, but I did have a really enjoyable time trying to make my dad's gin and tonic. So that helped.

My favorite drink idea I've wanted to try is probably the "soda water" recipe in Harry Craddock's Mixed Drinks Book (pdf). I'm really tempted to give it a try someday. I've seen a lot of "cocktail recipes" for this idea on the internet that seem more complicated than I'm confident I could actually follow. (To make it in the style of a famous drink, like the Martini or the Bloody Mary, you'd probably want to make them with spirits too and not just water, and some of the ingredients have to be weighed rather than measured.)

"JAILED WHEN COAL 1,500 POUNDS SHORT," Toronto Star. October 19, 1943. Page 2. --- Father of Three Children Must Serve 30 Days ---- COURT SORRY, BUT - ---- A Police Court, City Hall, Magistrate Browne "I feel sorry for you, but I must consider the citizens who order coal and do not get the amount ordered," said Magistrate Browne to Edward Cole, father of three children, up for sentence for stealing a quantity of coal from his employer. He was sentenced to 30 days.

Evidence of A. W. McCraney, coal dealer, was that accused delivered a load of coal about 1,500 pounds short.

Frank Oldstein, who admitted registering bets in his apartment on Homewood Ave., was sentenced to 10 days and fined $200 or two months.

Three hours after he stole a radio and club bag from a department store, Harry Daly was in court. He pleaded guilty and was remanded to Oct. 20 for sentence. Detective David Foster said Daly entered the store with the employees.

Angus Tannahill, 17, pleaded guilty of stealing a purse and $35 from Mrs. A. Forbes, G. A. Lowery. C.P.R. investigator, said accused and complainant were employed by the C.P.R.

"When arrested he had $31 of the money," he said.

Magistrate Browne remanded him until Oct. 27 for sentence.

For stealing a bicycle, Frank Papania, who has a record, was given three months.

Ronald McMenemy was fined $20 or 30 days for assaulting B. Woolfish, and $10 or 10 days for assaulting H. Dixon, and paid the fines. "Apparently you have a bad temper," said Magistrate Browne.

Woolfish said accused pulled him from his wagon and struck him in the face. Dixon said accused struck him in the eye.

RENEW $3,000 BAIL ---- "B" Police Court, City Hall, Magistrate Gullen Charles Platten, charged with breaking and entering a groceteria on Yonge St. and theft and having burglar's tools, elected trial by higher court.

Benjamin Atkin, manager of the store, said the store safe weighing 1.000 pounds, had been moved, but $1.800 had not been touched. Entrance had been effected via a rear door.

P.C. William Hogg testified he heard a noise which caused him to run around to the rear of the building. "I saw two men run from the rear door," he said. "They crossed the T.T.C. loop on to Doncliffe drive where they separated, one running north. I followed this man, who ran into the side drive of No. 5. jumped a fence into No. 7. where I fired a shot in the air calling on him to stop. He ran on to the lawn of No. 8 into a back yard where 1 fired a second shot into the air and the man stopped, raised his hands. But when I got about two feet away from him after telling him to keep his hands up, he made a flying tackle at me and grabbed my gun arm, causing the revolver to discharge, the bullet entering about his waistline. Accused called out, I am shot. Detective Craddock came along at this time and accused was taken to hospital. From the time I left the rear of the store this man was never out of my sight at any time."

"I have heard sufficient evidence for accused to stand his trial," said the court.

Bail of $3.000 was renewed.

'A REAL BAD BOY' --- County Police Court, County Building. Magistrate Keith. "You're missing much a free man enjoys," said Magistrate Keith, remanding Tim Syluk, 18, for sentence to Friday on eight charges of breaking and entering and one charge of receiving. "You're in for a very hard time, I'm afraid."

"You're right, your honor," said accused.

Syluk pleaded guilty to all charges. Det.-Sergt. W. McClellan testified that most of the offences occurred at Highland Creek. "Accused co-operated freely in identifying the stolen goods," the officer said.

Crown Counsel G. Gardhouse said accused's record dates from 1940. a continuous list of convictions for housebreaking and petty thieving.

"Gosh! The way you read it makes me sound like a very bad boy," said accused.

Also from August 1983, and with a similar but not identical pose, this by Alan Craddock:

It popped up (or possibly out - that "armour" looks drafty) in a couple of other places.

Craddock also provided the cover art for (@dduane just rolled her eyes and groaned) the first UK publication of "The Door Into Fire":

We've heard a suggestion that this "Fire" cover was originally intended for a far more conventional sword-and-sorcery novel by Andrew J. Offutt, and those covers got swapped.

It's just as likely that, if this was actually commissioned for "Fire", Craddock would have been working from no more than a couple of lines of text and awareness of "it's a fantasy" as his inspiration.

Certainly the triple re-use of "Stripper Vs Bat-Thing" for magazine, book and LP shows that incorrect covers have nothing to do with artists, more than happy to be paid numerous times for the same piece of art, and quite right too.

The real culprit behind an Incorrect Cover is some harried (or disinterested) person in the Art Department who, when a fantasy novel or indeed heavy metal band needs cover art, goes to the picture library and picks whatever looks appropriate without checking if it's really appropriate or not.

Since they too may only have title, genre and back-cover blurb to help them choose, I always cut them some slack as well.

I had one like that: here's the cover for the first edition of "Demon Lord"...

I'm well placed - none better - to point out that There Is No Dragon In That Book, and the demon of the title is clearly enough described (insectoid, crustacean, slimy) to Definitely Not Look Like That.

Even funnier, for given values of funny, is that there IS a dragon - a firedrake, in local vernacular - in every single other book of the series, but the only one from that publisher with a dragon on the cover is The One With No Dragon In It...

In the case of "Azeroth" and "Fire", the cover art couldn't be more off-target if it was deliberately chosen that way, so much that we wonder sometimes if a more text-accurate cover was commissioned for "Fire". Since this was the mid-1980s Thatcherite UK, I doubt it - see Section 28 for why - but one can daydream.

If so, and the Andrew Offutt story is true, DD and I sometimes wonder - looking at his other covers - how he reacted when the "Fire"-proper one appeared on his book...
