Hi, I was wondering if you knew when Vessel started 'dancing' on stage? I'm pretty sure he started doing in in the late Sundowning-ish era/ TPWBYT era but I thought you'd probably be the best person to ask about finding videos from when he started dancing.

Oooh this is an interesting rabbit hole, thanks for asking Anon 🖤

So... I guess it depends on what you mean by dancing, because Vessel has always sort of moved on stage, you know? But what he did back then and what he's doing now is completely different. Like... maybe a better word for what he used to do is "writhing." The earliest video of a ritual I've seen of Sleep Token's was their third ritual in (what I'm assuming is) late 2017, and "writhing" is probably the best word for what Vessel was doing on stage (and I say that affectionately/respectfully).

TLDR; Conclusively I would say Vessel started dancing, as we see him dance on stage today, in the summer of 2022. He's always moved on stage, and even acted unhinged during Sleep Token's earlier rituals. Below the cut, I go through rituals on YouTube from 2018-2023 to try and pinpoint exactly when Vessel started dancing like we see currently in 2023. (I went through quite a few videos, most not even mentioned in this monster of a post, so I made a YouTube playlist here).

A great example of Vessel's early "writhing" dancing is this YouTube video of Nazareth from the 2018 Leeds Festival (he's also an absolute menace here!! He steps on III, he didn't paint his waist or his back, and he strangles and spits on the original OG IV. Like... the man had demons and I am here for them). The dancing that's most similar to current times starts around 2:37 and 3:40.

2019 is impossible to find good videos for lol, since they did most of their rituals for the Beautiful Oblivion tour as an opener and, apparently, nobody films openers. But there are some with decent audio quality from ArcTanGent (my favorite being The Offering). Interestingly, he's less animated, still writhing, but not a menace to the rest of the band while doing so. If anyone is even slightly photosensitive please don't watch these ArcTanGent videos, the lighting effects really didn't agree with the camera's shutter speed.

This is a video of Higher from December 2019. The sound is not as crisp, and the videographer is quite a bit further from the stage, but Vessel is still moving, especially towards the end. The breakdown starts around 2:15, and while III and OG IV are definitely more animated than Vessel, he's still dancing with them. He even jumps down to scream the end of the song at the barrier (and has a mini-wardrobe malfunction) at 2:39. That crowd was really feeling it and so was Vessel.

Because of the plague in 2020, all of Sleep Token's shows were in January. Vessel's behaviour was very similar to the video posted above (just with less crowd interaction). The first show they played in 2021 was the Download Pilot. This is the best audio quality of that show, and Vessel also moves/dances the most in this video, though it's toward the end around 2:31, where the videographer forgot they were filming and just started vibing, so it's really hard to see, lol. I don't blame them, but it's also shakycam to the max. (Also, a quick fun fact, this is the first show the band played with our current IV as far as I can tell.)

This is another video from 2021, but from Sleep Token's TPWBYT rituals tour. It's Hypnosis, and in the very beginning, we see some Floor Vessel, which is neat and reminiscent of the most recent NA rituals, before he does some of his usual writing, though quite a bit more animated. Around 4:06 you can see the writing again, but after 4:19 it morphs into what we've seen from more recent rituals. (Also, if anyone wants a full 70-minute video of this show, filmed from the center of the balcony looking down on the stage, you can watch it here. Some parts have major flashing, so just be careful).

Here's another video of Hypnosis, this time from September 2022. Here, finally, we see Vessel's current version of dancing, hops and arm flails included. It starts right when the song kicks in at 0:13, and he does it again at the end, around 4:29. Technically they did a UK tour with the Architects in May (see this video of The Offering at 3:50) and an Australian tour in June 2022 with Northlane (again, see this video of The Offering at 0:20, 1:37), with similar behaviour from Vessel, but that BRRF Hypnosis video is the first video I ever watched of Sleep Token live so it's very dear to me and it's also better sound quality than anything I could find from earlier in the year.

I went way overboard with answering this question, Anon, but it was super fun, so thank you again for asking 🖤🙏 Again, I made a playlist of all the videos + several others. If anyone has any recommendations for me to add to the playlist, send the links my way (especially if they aren't The Offering or Hypnosis lol) and I'll add them in chronological order.

Choi Min-ho, Son Na-eun and romantic chemistry… Confirmed to appear in ‘Family X Melo’

Minho Choi (SHINee Minho) will be returning to the small screen with a romance drama.

Minho Choi will be appearing in JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Family X Melo', which will be aired for the first time on August 10th. He will be playing the role of Nam Tae-pyeong, who lives his life according to his own convictions

. Nam Tae-hyung (played by Minho Choi) is a character with a my-way personality who hides his identity as the son of the president of the large corporation J Plus Mart and works two jobs as a mart security guard and a Taekwondo instructor. He will show off his various charms with his warm visuals that catch the eye as well as his easygoing and cheerful side. He will

also create a strange atmosphere when Byun Mi-rae (played by Naeun Son) finds out about his complicated family history. The two will share each other's worries and create a 'stormy romance' that goes back and forth between growth and excitement.

Moreover, Choi Min-ho challenged the suspense genre for the first time with his previous film 'New Normal', and was invited to many famous overseas film festivals including the 66th BFI London Film Festival, the 38th Warsaw Film Festival, and the 36th Leeds International Film Festival, receiving attention from all over the world for his unique side. Expectations are high for the new look he will show in this work.

'Family X Melo' is a bloody family melodrama about a father who abandoned his wife 11 years ago returning as the owner of the building. It will air on August 10th at 10:30 PM.

“The Couple Next Door” at MIPCOM 2023 in Cannes 🇫🇷

Beta Film distributed “The Couple Next Door” series, the Beta Film drama series was sold before the MIPCOM’s event to Movistar Plus+ in Spain and Nordic countries, public television stations NRK in Norway, YLE in Finland, SVT in Sweden, DR. in Denmark and RÚV in Iceland took the title.

The official thriller of the dark psychological drama ‘The Couple Next Door’ (6x1h, Eagle Eye Drama/Beta/Channel4/STARZ/LIONSGATE+) delves into the repercussions of pursuing one's darkest desires. Sam Heughan and Eleanor Tomlinson partner with Alfred Enoch (Harry Potter, How to Get Away With Murder) and Jessica De Gouw (The Secret She Keeps) was presented on Tuesday 17th October at The World Greatest Gathering of TV & Entertainment Executives 16-19 October 2023 at Palais des Festivals, Cannes.

#thecouplenextdoor show will launch this autumn 2023, there's no date, on Channel 4 in the UK, Starz in North America and Lionsgate+ in Latin America. Filming took place earlier this year in Leeds and Belgium, and Beta Film is the distributing.

BETA Unveils MIPCOM 2023 line-up with over 20 new dramas and seasons from 15 countries - Thrillers, about tragedies, and love stories of fresh and compelling series from all over Europe, which will celebrate its world premiere at the prestigious Grand Auditorium of the Palais de Festivals in Cannes.

MIPCOM CANNES 2023- (Marché International des Programmes de Communication, English: International Market of Communications Programmes) is an entertainment content market', and happens every October, MIPCOM is the most anticipated week for global decision-makers to compete for new series, source international production partners, and set the development agenda for the coming year and beyond.

The 39th edition of MIPCOM CANNES brought together more than 12,000 delegates from over 110 countries, including 3,000 buyers, to the vibrant city of Cannes.

Because of the BAFTA’s event, I believe the TV Preview and official thriller to the public will not be available until Wednesday 1st November in London (it makes sense to show everything in one day) with cast Sam Heughan, Eleanor Tomlinson, Alfred Enoch, David Allison, writer, Dries Vos, director as announced, at the Princess Anne Theatre.

Is That It?

New York

New York was energised, and it all coincided with a new ‘sound’. The Strokes had just released their debut album in Australia and the UK, September saw it come out in the US and the spotlight was on New York because of The Strokes too. The most hyped band in the world helped build a new movement in music that would last the decade.  

The Modern Age EP was 3 songs, the band had done 1 tour in the UK, they were the biggest band in the world, the pressure was on. Is This It came out, 11 songs, 36 minutes and 28 seconds but it could have easily been forgotten with 9/11. 

9/11 was unlike anything before, it happened live on TV, the first major moment in the age of 24/7 news. New York was mourning, everyone was empathic for New York and Is This It felt so New York (the USA release was pushed back and they replaced one song, New York City Cops with When It Started). The album could have been buried under the rumble of 9/11 but it was a tribute to New York, it made New York cool again. That band looked effortlessly cool, the messy hair, leather jackets, ripped jeans and Converse hi-tops, it was punk in the 21st Century and the album sounded just as cool, so different, so fresh and flawless.

Jay McAllister (Beans On Toast) “The Strokes felt like they emerged out of thin air and became everybody’s favourite band overnight. I was at Reading the year they were supposed to be the small band tent and they moved up to the main stage as everyone wanted to see them, the music matched up to that.” 

They were young, good-looking poster boys, girls wanted to sleep with them, boys wanted to be them (as Alex Turner sings on Star Treatment). The Strokes brought skinny jeans back from the seventies paired with vintage tees, and a don’t give a fuck attitude. It was punk, it was cool. Our parents might have seen this before but we hadn’t.  

Tom Atkin (The Paddingtons) “Everyone was waiting for The Strokes to come out, everyone needed this movement. They gave birth to that whole era, such an amazing time.”

That debut lived up to the hype that the NME had generated. In 2001 that hyped saw the band be upgraded to the mainstage at the Reading and Leeds Festival,  a year later, they headlined it, playing after icons Pulp. 

MTV played a key part in distributing music in the early 2000’s, videos gave an insight into “who” the band was, in an era before they would share everything on social media. The Strokes made some iconic videos (Somedayshowed the band hanging about at a bar, taking on Guided by Voices at a TV game show and just being cool dudes with Slash).

It was their MTV $2 Dollar Bill Concert that “sold” the band as it captured everything special and exciting about them. Julian stumbled on the stage in the iconic military jacket, Nick stands out in a white blazer while Fab doesn’t miss a beat. It was filmed to look vintage at the time, over 20 years later, it looks like a classic. 

The question everyone was asking was, can they do it again?

Yes.

Initially, they returned to New York to work with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich for Room On Fire however those sessions were scrapped, both him and Julian clashed as they are control freaks. They went back to the tried and trusted Gordon Raphael.

London

Gordon “There was more time and a big studio (my small studio was gone by then.. as I was living in UK) when it came to recording Room On Fire. The band had been touring for two years and were SO SO tight and powerful. Nothing could have prepared me for that happy surprise.”  

It still had that same feel that everyone loved from the debut but it was polished, cleaner, and modern. Julian’s vocals had gone from muffled to slightly digitalised and, it wasn’t recorded “live”, it wasn’t raw, instead it was slicker. It was the same, but different. The songs weren’t as instant, they didn’t hit as hard but that was ok, they didn’t need to have attention-grabbing singles this time. They had already proved that they could do it and, which album is better is always a great argument.

Unfortunately, after releasing the album, the band admitted they weren’t exactly happy with it, It was finished with sleepless nights, arguments and stress to reach the deadline RCA had given. Is This It might have been important, but it wasn’t a big seller, RCA put heat on the band to deliver on Room On Fire which came out just over 2 years after the debut. 

Between those 2 releases, the band toured the world a few times, playing over 200 gigs while living under constant pressure to live up to the hype. The Strokes tried to avoid being labelled as “rockstars”, but they lived like them, never shy around drink and drugs, they were in their early 20’s, it was inevitable.  Julian had been a drinker from an early age, the band might have been a 5-piece but Julian was more than a frontman, the songs were his. Every day was full with duties, interviews, promoting, soundchecks and gigs, the afterparty was the relief. There wasn’t time, or energy to write new songs, so, when the tours were finished and it was time to go in the studio, the only thing they had were hangovers. Still, a decent effort!

[niamflopped]

Louis: I'm proud of meself for what I've been through and the world needs to know about it. I deserve a film biopic.

Film Companies: No thanks, there isn't enough interest. You're not even prepared to talk about your sister's death or your break up with Eleanor Calder.

Louis: Fuck you - I'll produce and finance my OWN film.

***

Louis: I deserve to headline an indie music festival.

Reading/Leeds: Not a chance. Not even tenth on the bill.

Louis: Fuck you - I'll hire an outdoor venue, put on a concert with three support acts and I will headline it myself!

***

Louis: I look cool every day and 28 is my favourite number so I deserve to have a fashion brand. Zayn collabed with Versace, Harry with Gucci - who wants to collab with me?

Every fashion designer on the planet: No thanks.

Louis: Fuck you - I'll finance my own brand and call it designer!

[c-e-s-a-r-i-o]

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone’s well, and if not, I wish you better. Anyone doing anything interesting for the remainder of Summer Break?

Today, I’m going to be doing something different. I’m going to post two (2) times today, this post here and another later today, possibly later tonight.

Currently, I want to bring focus on a musician. Jasmine Wembankoy is a musician on TikTok and is currently trying to raise the funds to go to Abbey Road Institute. She was offered a place at this highly exclusive Advanced Diploma for Music Production and Sound Engineering.

Unfortunately, while she wasn’t accepted for a scholarship to the school, the panelists have offered her a place at the school if she could pay her own tuition.

Coming from Islington, London, she initially got into music because of her love of a certain video game. Starting from obsessively researching on how the Assassins Creed II’s soundtrack, produced by Jesper Key, was created, she has now grown to post her own music, of which can be found under the name Safii Koii.

She has grown through the years, and she is most famous for her cover of Kate Bush’s Army Dreamers, by far her most popular cover. Though that’s not her only experience in being in the spotlight in her corner of the internet; after attending East London Art and Music in 2017 and then moving to Leeds Conservatoire in 2019 to chase after a degree in music production, of which she was the only black girl in her class, she has had many wonderful opportunities. She has composed her own music for a film at just eighteen, has had her voice play out of the radio, and has played in her first festival. Her GoFundMe goes into much greater detail for you all, so if you have the time please go read her story!

She is currently sitting at £9,895/€15,920, which is thankfully enough enroll at Abbey Road Institution as it is enough to cover five (5) installments for tuition fees! But she still needs continued support for the rest of her time in the Institution. Even €5 helps, so please help Jasmine reach her goal and be able to go to Abbey Road Institution without having to worry about if she’s going to have enough to continue attending the university. If you don’t have the funds for even €5, you can simply spread her story and GoFundMe!

Her TikTok is @safii_koii and her GoFundMe is https://gofund.me/1767b391

-Lyfrassir(🪷) and Lucy-Grey(🎤)

(P.S. She has another GoFundMe in the linktree in her bio, leading you to a campaign of a family trying to raise the funds to get out of Gaza when the border reopens. If you can, also donate to them!)

[sugdenlovesdingle]

another pointless celebrity cameo. (x)

Legendary ice dancers, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, have been cast in the soap, playing themselves in a special festive episode at the end of year.

Filming has taken place at a location in Leeds and the Olympic gold medal winners have reunited on ice to help a well-loved character make a marriage proposal.

The identity of the potentially betrothed couple is being held under wraps for now, but it’s one of a few pinnacle plotlines that will grace the Christmas season in the Dales.

The skating icons have joined actors Dominic Brunt (Paddy), Eden Taylor-Draper (Belle), James Chase (Tom King), Mark Charnock (Marlon), Roxy Shahidi (Leyla) and Joe-Warren Plant (Jacob) for a smiley picture as they filmed the scenes. ---

Jacob proposing to Vic this Christmas then.

I am not the anon who followed for cobra and now will accept my fate as a tai fan, but please, please, please explain the connection between The Academy Is and Cobra Starship.

Unabridged is preferred tbh.

i got 2 anons about this and this is literally the thing i'm the most insane about omg ok warning this is gonna be long cause i'm just gonna include everything ive got on my google doc about this

TLDR; same record labels, snakes on a plane, lots of tours together, music videos, webshows and general friendship is the conncection

It starts pre-cobra with midtown. iirc, tai were just fans of midtown pre-tai and in the early days, they're from chicago and came up in the same scene as fob, mike carden (tais guitarists) old band had fob open for them and he was even asked to join fob in an early version of it, so fob, tai and midtown all eventually become friends which is when they met gabe and eventually they toured with midtown twice in 04-05.

2006- midtown dies in 05 and from the ashes rises COBRA STARSHIP. Cobras gets signed to fueled by ramen and decaydance records, which is the same 2 labels as TAI. while gabe's working on the music, tai's bassist, sisky finds out about snakes on a plane and suggested submitting their song to be on the soundtrack. Then william beckett the singer of TAI suggested to gabe that this would be perfect for cobras and he should put a song forward, which he does. Gabe makes some changes to the lyrics, adds william, travie and maja and Bring it (snakes on a plane) was born. (source) Sometime around 2006-2005 gabe briefly featured in the music video for 'the phrase that pays'

2007- things ramp up and they start touring together. Both bands are supporting acts on the honda civic 2007 tour and are featured at 3 separate Decaydance fest shows in Paris, Kohn and London. They also do a series of international festivals together like reading and leeds, pukkelpop, summer sonic, ect AND they do an australia tour just the 2 of them, this was all through summer. At the end of the year cobras jump on TAI's headliner tour, they weren't supposed to butviva la cobra came out earlier than planned so they had no tour to promote it so tai let them open for the last month or so. Both were also apart of the MTVu campus takeover this year. TAI had a webshow and cobra are featured multiple times from 2007-2008, this is actually where they got the idea for cobra cam and even stole TAI's camera man to film it. also somewhere someone released official merch that included cobra, TAI and fob that said 'gabe is not a ynonym for sisky' and they promoted it together.

2008- Both bands are part of the lineup for warped tour this year, snakes was played a lot and when suarez had to leave the tour for a couple days, sisky and the butcher (TAI's drummer) covered for him. TAI's album was released in august and featured backing vocals from Ryland, Alex and Gabe, and every member of cobra is mentioned in the thank yous. Right after warped both bands go to australia and opened for panic at the disco (bonus info: victoria, sisky and ryan went bar hopping for ryans 22nd), then right after they go and do a japan tour with the hush sound and the cab. For welcome to the new administration, suarez remixed TAI's song 'automatic eyes'

2009 onwards- Things slowed down after this. The butcher is briefly featured in the good girls go bad music video. in 2011 both band play at the 15th anniversary of fueled by ramen, this ended up being TAI's last show before they split. After they split, butcher was the drum tech for cobra from 2011-2012. When TAI had a reunion in 2015, suarez played bass for sisky with carly rae jepsen so he could play on their reunion tour. Also around 2015 Gabe and Mike started TAG music together, i think mike has left since then though.

Extras: at every TAI show since their 2022 reunion they have played snakes on a plane, with gabe or without. Gabe also always does backing vocals for the song 'classifieds' if he's there. Sisky used to do travies rap during snakes if he wasn't there, he did it a bunch on warped 2008.

Sisky commented this during cobrakkah in 2021 and i think about it a lot tbh. I think they were just best friends who got to tour the world together in their youth and are still friends and still hold a lot of love for eachother :,)

hope that wasn't too much, i'm pretty sure i covered everything that i know about. Decaydance is my favourite thing so i have a google doc of all their connections so i remember them all :D

something to add would be that TAI are opening for fob on the 3rd in LA and a few cobras live there, so i wouldn't be suprised if they show up for snakes on a plane!

EDIT: if you want photos of any of these things I mentioned I probably have some so please ask! and if you don't want to, search my tag #thepolycule and there's a bunch of photos of decaydance bands hanging out together, including TAI and cobra

Around the World in 14 Films, Berlin 🇩🇪

🎟️Tickets available Nov 14

The Berlin premiere of “All of Us Strangers” by British director Andrew Haigh (“45 Years”) marks the celebratory conclusion of the 18th edition of AROUND THE WORLD IN 14 FILMS on Saturday, December 9th, 2023. Only at the end of August 2023 Andrew Haigh's “All of Us Strangers” celebrated its world premiere at the American Telluride Film Festival. The 18th World Cinema Festival presents the “surreal romance” (Vogue) in its “Closing Night”. The on-screen appearances of Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal, two of Ireland's hottest actors, are likely to provide star power. Lead actor Andrew Scott shone in his role as Moriarty in the BBC cult series “Sherlock” and other appearances in “James Bond 007: Specter” and “Fleabag”. Paul Mescal, star of the British series "Normal People", attracted worldwide attention with his moving performance in the independent hit "Aftersun". Director Andrew Haigh will also have fond memories for Berliners: his masterpiece “45 Years” won the Silver Bear at the Berlinale in 2015, which the leading actors Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay received.

🎟️Tickets

Save HIFF Love & Anarchy 🇫🇮

The future of HIFF – Love & Anarchy, one of Finland’s most significant film festivals, is under threat. HIFF is now calling on its audience to help. There are three types of tickets available for the support screenings, and you can support with either 25 €, 40 € or 100 €. The tickets will go on sale on 29.11.2023 at 11.00.

One of the most popular guests in the history of HIFF has been the Irish actor Andrew Scott, who visited Helsinki in 2014. It is only appropriate that we are the first in Finland to screen a film that will be one of the highlights of his career.

All of Us Strangers, directed and written by Andrew Haigh, is one of the highlights of the autumn. The film, which received top reviews at Telluride and the New York Film Festival, is a drama about loneliness, grief and a longing for love that gets under your skin.
