Greatest Hits

L'altro giorno ho scritto un post dove chiedevo chi conoscesse il film di Chantal Akerman Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. L'ho chiesto perchè ho scoperto che il periodicamente decennale numero speciale di Sight And Sound, prestigiosissima rivista cinematografica inglese, sui film più belli di sempre nel 2022 lo ha definito il più miglior film di tutti i tempi. Qui c'è la classifica e qui la scheda del primo posto che ne spiega i motivi.

Ho scoperto anche che, introvabile, verrà messo in onda per i festeggiamenti del 35.mo anniversario di Fuori Orario. Cose (Mai) Viste, leggendaria trasmissione di RaiTre, che per decenni (dal 1988) ha regalato ai suoi notturni spettatori perle clamorose di cinema, documentari, musica e altro (date un occhio a RaiPlay per recuperare qualcosa).

Ringrazio @jacobyouarelost che nel suo intervento al primo mio post ha spiegato che, pur nella grandezza artistica del lavoro, il film di Akerman è lì per lo stesso motivo, questo lo aggiungo io, che nella classifica dei 500 Migliori brani del Secolo di Rolling Stone (aggiornata più volte negli ultimi anni, e questo già è un segnale) ha posizionato Respect di Aretha Franklin al Primo Posto, scalzando Like A Rolling Stone di Bob Dylan che ha capeggiato la classifica di tutte le passate liste.

@nanavitsaviee invece, dopo che le avevo chiesto del film in quanto brillante studentessa del settore cinematografico, mi ha fatto un'osservazione interessante, che è centrale: quanto conta, nel fare o non fare queste classifiche, il fatto che il cinema, forse più di musica e editoria, è un'industria potente? Mi ha fatto un esempio illuminante: al Festival ormai ci vanno i TikToker e non i critici, perchè serve altro che la critica, serve parlare e fare tendenza.

A tal proposito, cito un articolo che Mattia Carzaniga scrisse proprio dopo la notizia in questione sul film di Akerman: "la questione sollevata dalla classifica di Sight and Sound mi pare un’altra: il cinema, oggi, ha smesso di essere un’arte popolare. O meglio: si tende a premiare sempre e solo il merito artistico di un mezzo che certamente come arte non era nato" e cita un documentario, Sr. , che racconta la storia di Robert Downey Senior, padre del Junior attore tra i più famosi del mondo. È il ritratto di un autore, il padre, che non si è mai piegato al volere degli Studios e l’attore\figlio ex ribelle diventato il divo più pagato al mondo grazie ai colossi Marvel. Scrive Carzaniga: È un film umanamente magnifico, ma anche la definitiva ammissione di sconfitta del cinema come arte (scusate ancora) davvero popolare. Forse non lo è stata mai. Forse il cinema è sempre stato una vasta prateria con dentro tutto, troppo, fatta per feticisti che non saranno mai d’accordo gli uni con gli altri.

L'esigenza di classificare è il tentativo di dare ordine alla vastità delle cose. E soprattutto per trovare un modo di nominarle. L'uomo ha tentato, per i più vari motivi, di classificare e definire ogni cosa, per gestirla ed organizzarla. Esiste probabilmente una classificazione per ogni cosa materiale dell'umanità, e spesso anche per cose immateriali. Penso alla qualità della vita, alla povertà, alla soddisfazione. Ma come per la qualità del cinema o delle canzoni, o dei libri (ultimo caso, tutte le discussioni sulla scelta del New York Times di nominare L'amica geniale di Elena Ferrante il più bel romanzo degli ultimi 20 anni), più l'argomento è immateriale, e soggetto al gusto, più diviene discutibile.

E vogliamo parlare del rapporto emozionale privato che abbiamo con queste cose, che siano film, dischi o libri? Di tutte i sentimenti, i luoghi, le esperienze private che un titolo, famoso o meno, ci regala perchè visto con, o in un posto speciale, o in un giorno indimenticabile?

Questo discorso porta in posti davvero profondi, e fondamentali in un certo senso. Chiunque ha voglia di esprimersi a riguardo è il benvenuto!

Speaking of LSA, you know what’s very telling, his threads use to hit the 500 page limit within months, but definitely by end of year and now they are barely active, it’s like two to three of them, but the main relationship theories thread would fill up with the updates of this shitshow and people dragging his and her asses and now….crickets.

But with the latest development, I think the 500 page will happen by summer time if this current plot twist goes anywhere.

My question is if she’s not involved with this Carloto guy in anyway outside of filming and taking pics with him…. Why delete and also did she forget she trolled this fandom so much in the beginning that she’s the reason there are screenshots of her past, she really doesn’t seem that bright, not even trying to be rude.

The internet is FOREVER!

Who knew all those screenshots from the pre debut of the NYC pap walk where those who are now “team real” claimed she had another guy she was seeing and they were sure she wasnt dating Chris, would pop back up and come in handy as “receipts.

Then the lovely Anni has a archive of basically EVERYTHING here on tumblr ie @anneslibrary

Man oh man where is my popping corn 🍿, I’m now back to see where this goes.

Hello 2025!!!! ☀️

Nah. Folks are tired and bored. I suspect he is as well. At this point there's nothing else significant for them to do other than children and I think that would only happen by immaculate conception.

HAPPY 3RD ANNI, TORANEKOOO!

hi hi, everypony! in honor of hitting 500+ followers and celebrating this blog's 3rd anniversary, i'll be holding a simple and quick event! consider this a big thank you for all the support and kindness you've given me so far that i've actually managed to stay in this blog for over three years lol ^_^ old pinned here!

you've returned, reader-chan. the rules for this game are simple:

it's a gacha game! every requester is provided a set ten (10) nekocoins, which they can use as currency to roll for edits. there will be no increase from this number, sorry! anons will need a sign off to participate. now, while the rules may be familiar, there's an added twist!

TWIST: rather than being able to spend the coins and budget them on your desired edit types, as this is a gacha game, you'll only be allowed to specify a character and aesthetic! the edit type will then be randomized based on how much nekocoins you used to roll~

the edit types will cost as follows:

icons - 3 coins for 6 icons | 5 coins for 9 icons

layouts - 6 coins for standard layouts | 10 coins for full blog setups

moodboards - 4 coins for regular moodboards | 7 coins for gif/moving moodboards

stimboards - 8 coins

gifs - 10 coins

example event request:

"hello! may i please roll for akito shinonome with 6 coins?" <- rolls like these can either land on layouts or two sets of 6 icons!

"good day! could i use 9 coins to roll for ako udagawa? thank you!" <- this could land supposedly on a set of 9 icons and a regular moodboard OR it could land on stimboards with one nekocoin being returned to the requester!

if there are any questions, feel free to direct them in my ask box! this event will go on indefinitely, so feel free to have fun ^_^

with that out of the way, i've been ia for so long i may not know many people so could i ask for a promo? feel free to ignore and lmk if i should remove your @!

@5seraphim @prismdol @enananhearts @garikei @thornybenevolence @warmteabake @angelldose + anyone else who wants to!! thank you so much~

Unit Teambuilding - Battle Tower (Alt) Leon

I hate that it’s alt, but I guess “Battle Tower Leon” is a lot more to write out, so they went with Alt Leon.  Sure.  Thankfully, he got the cool outfit, and the cool Ghost Pokemon, so he’s-Dragon type?  Really?  Come on.

General Overview Leon is a Dragon Tech, who really should’ve been a Striker.  Leon’s main selling point is Dragon Darts, an effectively 200BP move.  This is excellent, and is actually stronger than SS Serena’s Core Enforcer.  With just this and a trainer move that performs the standard +4/+3 self buff, and an excellent speed tier of over 500 with +1 speed on TM, Leon really didn’t need for much more.  But he got it, in Piercing Blows.  Not only is his damage excellent, his gauge control is strong, and his damage cannot be stopped.  Adding a Max Move for burst damage makes this even more threatening.  Impervious, while generally inconsequential, does permit Leon some tools that will likely do well in Gauntlet.

So why do I not feel as impressed with him?  I think it comes down to expectation vs reality.  Leon’s a Tech, and his conditions are...painful.  Burn requirement but no Go Viral until 4/5, and needing as many debuffs as possible but only getting maybe 4 at a time is incredibly damning.  His opening sync is very slow acting and kind of a pain, and legitimately I think it’s less worth it to run his Buddy move if he’s the star of the show.  Just throw out Dragon Darts, it’ll do more.  His sync damage is around the standard for Tech, which means a bit better than Lucas and Drasna but not as good as Anni Raihan or C!Iris.

Leon is still really good.  I love debuffs, so I’m kinda partial to the kit, but he’s also really...odd.  He reminds me a bit of SS Cyrus, in the sense of “pick one thing and only do that.”  If he’s supporting another striker, just spam Buddy move.  If he’s dealing damage, just spam Dragon Darts.  There’s basically no reason to ever burn someone yourself.

EX and Move Level? Because he’s a Tech, EX is generally recommended.  That said, I do stand by the belief that his strength is DPS and having a Max Move.  1/5 is likely serviceable.  His sync multipliers are a rough time anyway, and he’s not getting great boosts to DPS since it’s only Burn Synergy 3, which is hard to set up.  I don’t agree with it.  But, there is a strong case to be made for 4/5, sadly.  Go Viral is legitimately fantastic when you’re running Burn multipliers and...*sigh*...Breaking Swipe: Hit Burned Opp Stat Down 9.  Guys, I know these skills are meant to be descriptive so people know what they do, but can be please just go back to using keywords?  You sound ridiculous.

Team 1: Alt Leon, H!Caitlin, Lucas Did someone say caps crit but needs a bit of attack?!  Hello naughty children, it’s Caitlin time!  Truth be told, she’s likely overkill, you can use something lower tier than that, but favoritism.  Lucas is chosen for the Zone, but admittedly, this is an issue with Leon.  He’s physical, and the Dragon Zone is special.  CS demands reallocation of points as a result.  Which isn’t great, but it’s manageable if desired.

Team 2: Alt Leon, V!Agatha/Bugscyther, H!Morty/V!Kiawe If only Bugscyther were real.  Anyway, the focus of this is on Leon’s sync.  H!Morty is a decent partner here, thanks to Spread Burn.  V!Kiawe can at least set up Power Play, and with Defense Crush lucky skill, actually contributes meaningfully to anything.  Bugscyther tops off attack and gets Leer debuffs, but in absence of him, any defense debuffing support like V!Agatha can work out.

Team 3: Alt Leon, Skyla One of the nice things about Leon is that he has Piercing Blows, and the ability to debuff, making him a pretty solid Gauntlet Duo choice.  Skyla in particular is great.  Defense buffs complement his attack debuffs, and the speed keeps gauge rolling.  Potion for survival, and you’re set to go.

Team 4: Alt Leon, C!Iris, Sonia Alt Leon’s debuffs are basically a buffed Leer that deals respectable damage in addition.  It’s a worthwhile consideration!  It’s especially worthwhile when you’re dealing with a partner who can hit for roughly eleventy billion damage on a single target, provided some debuffs are present.  C!Iris is a great partner to Leon.  Leon’s DPS is super strong, but C!Iris is the sync nuking monster that capitalizes on it all.  I actually ran this exact team this morning, with Leon 1/5, and we actually cleared before Iris could sync.  Leon’s spread damage is very respectable, and Iris’ Dragon Rush is more than enough to kill on-type.

Final Thoughts Here’s a question for you.  It’s the month before anniversary.  All of this is bait, and you might be looking at your gem stash, cautiously considering whether it’s really worth it to get any of these new pairs.  What does Leon offer you that doesn’t already exist?  That you don’t already have?  AoE Atk/Def/Spd debuffing?  SC Steven does that while pumping your damage up to infinity.  Burn?  Not until 4/5 he doesn’t, and SS Lysandre is far more significant for off-type clears given the absurdity of his damage and Buddy move.  Dragon damage?  It’s top of the chart, but I don’t think it’s necessary to pick up.

I think Leon is good; very good, even.  If you’re a paying player looking to pick something up this month, he’s not a bad choice.  But if you’re not?  If you’re saving for anniversary?  Why break for him?  What’s he offering that doesn’t exist elsewhere?  Is this necessary?  And if it is...do you need anything beyond 1/5?

[true-trauma]

Il concerto di Bonez Mc e Raf Camora all’Olympiahalle di Innsbruck è stato una celebrazione in grande stile del loro sodalizio artistico iniziato nel 2016, quandi i due decisero di incidere l’album di coppia Palmen aus plastik. Dopo di esso, son seguiti Palmen aus plastik 2 nel 2018 e Palmen aus plastik 3 nel 2022. Ovviamente, tutti e tre han segnato dei goal potenti per il deutschrap. Numerose sono state le hit che sono state estratte da questi tre dischi. E hanno tutte convissuto in questo show, che segna una sorta di prosieguo del loro tour avvenuto tra fine 2022 e inizio 2023, seguito alla pubblicazione del loro terzo volume della saga.

Ad aprire il concerto ci ha pensato Maxwell, unico ospite d’eccezione, e membro, insieme a Bonez e ad altri, della 187 Strassenbande. Maxwell ha anche duettato qua e là durante lo il concerto. Non solo: ha anche dato spettacolo di sé fornendo un ottimo contributo alla realizzazione del progetto. Intrattenimento allo stato puro. Musica, ma anche altro.

Le hit.

Il concerto vero e proprio, dopo tre o quattro canzoni cantate da Maxwell (tra cui Safari, originariamente interpretata anche con lo stesso Camora), è iniziato con Letztes mal, che è stato anche il primo singolo estratto da Palmen aus plastik 3. Subito dopo Letztes mal, 500 ps, tratto dal secondo capitolo della saga. E ancora, e ancora, e ancora.

Si può dire che di hit non ne sono certamente mancate. Anzi, è stato uno spettacolo caratterizzato quasi solo ed esclusivamente da hit. Via, pertanto, pezzi sì importanti ed introspettivi come Ruhe nach dem sturm e Risiko, tra i migliori della trilogia, e spazio alle varie Kontrollieren, Sommer (sulla quale Maxwell ha fatto il suo ingresso surfando la folla a bordo di un canotto, cadendo peraltro tra il pubblico, tra le risate generali) e Beste leben.

Sold-out.

Non è la prima volta che Raf Camora e Bonez Mc si ritrovano a comunicare una data “ausverkauft”, o come diremmo noi “sold-out”, preferendo la forma anglosassone per eccellenza al posto del termine tedesco. Tutto esaurito, e a dispetto di quanto si possa pensare, non c’era un limite di età. Il pubblico nel parterre è stato certo un pubblico giovane, ma sugli spalti non erano poche le persone “più in là con gli anni”. Si prenda l’espressione con le pinze, in quanto certamente non si sta parlando di ultra-cinquantenni, ma neanche poi così tanto giovincelli. Questo a riprova del fatto che il rap non è solo “un genere per ragazzini”. Non in tutte le nazioni, almeno.

Gli ospiti (assenti, ma presenti).

Oltre a Maxwell, Bonez Mc e Raf Camora hanno deciso di giocare un po’ con l’aspetto legato ai visual sui maxischermi posizionati ai due lati del “bühne” (“palco”). Infatti, sui due maxischermi sono apparsi a più riprese due nomi che han collaborato con i due artisti: Luciano e Gzuz.

Luciano ha condiviso da poco un pezzo già diventato hit con Raf Camora, tale All night, tratto dal suo disco XV (il titolo deriva dal fatto che quest’anno il rapper viennese festeggia i suoi 15 anni di attività, XV a numeri romani corrisponde proprio al numero 15). Per impegni già precedentemente presi, Luciano non ha potuto prendere parte fisicamente allo spettacolo.

Stessa cosa vale per Gzuz, assente invece per problemi giudiziari, con cui ha a che fare da svariati mesi a questa parte, e a più riprese i due colleghi hanno citato il motto “free Gzuz”, mentre le sue strofe scorrevano sottoforma si pupazzo sul maxischermo.

L’orario del concerto.

Contrariamente a quanto si fa generalmente in Italia, il concerto di Raf Camora e Bonez Mc è iniziato alle 19:30, quando Maxwell ha fatto improvvisamente irruzione sul palco, iniziando a rappare alcune sue strofe per iniziare a scaldare il pubblico. Una breve pausa, gli ultimi accorgimenti, e il concerto è iniziato definitivamente poco prima delle 20. Dalle 20 alle 21:30, un continuo no-stop di spettacolo e di musica. E una volta giunti agli sgoccioli, il pubblico in sala ha iniziato ad inneggiare ad un “bis”, come generalmente si fa ad i concerti: i vecchi “fuori”, ovvero i nuovi “se non metti l’ultimo, noi non ce ne andiamo”.

È interessante notare come la scelta dell’orario di un concerto possa influenzare la serata. Porre un concerto che inizia alle ore 9 di sera, come generalmente accade in Italia, per poi farlo terminare alle ore 11, quando ormai molte attività commerciali sono sul punto di chiusura, equivarrebbe quasi costringere i ragazzi a tornarsene alle proprie abitazioni. Al contrario, un concerto che inizia e termina in una fascia oraria antecedente, permette agli spettatori di essere quasi “semplicemente” intrattenuti dagli artisti che si esibiscono prima di proseguire con la serata fuori dal luogo del concerto, decidendo eventualmente cosa fare e dove andare, senza ansie e senza stress.

Storia Di Musica #314 - Susan Tedeschi, Live From Austin TX, 2004

Le storie di chitarre femminili di febbraio volevano sviluppare, lo ricordo per questo ultimo appuntamento, una questione che avevo sentito per radio (ho recuperato pure i particolare): durante la trasmissione Morning Glory di Virgin Radio, condotta da Alteria, alla domanda "quale sarebbe il tuo mestiere dei sogni" una giovane ascoltatrice scrisse "diventare una famosissima chitarrista, perchè non c'è ne sono". Alteria, che è anche musicista, ha subito cercato di smentire, ricordando Sister Rosetta Tharpe, la grandissima blueswoman e cantante gospel degli anni '30-'60 del 1900. Tuttavia, e alla fine di questo percorso che è sempre anche un'occasione per imparare qualcosa di nuovo, sono arrivato alla conclusione che, dal punto di visto della fama e della riconoscibilità, aveva ragione l'ascoltatrice, non c'è mai stata per gli indicatori appena descritti una chitarrista riconoscibile come Hendrix, Blackmore o Jack White, per citare tre chitarristi di epoche differenti. Allo stesso tempo, non vuol dire che non ci siano state chitarriste tecnicamente e musicalmente eccezionali, e le scelte di Febbraio 2024 sono solo un antipasto di un viaggio che lascerà deliziati chi vorrà continuarlo. Per concludere la carrellata, oggi vi porto a Norwell, Massachusetts, dove all'interno di una famiglia di origini italiani, i Tedeschi (che sono facoltosi, proprietari di una famosa catena di supermercato in tutto lo stato) nasce nel 1970 Susan. Sin da piccola è un prodigio nelle recite e a sei anni ha una piccola parte in un Musical itinerante che una compagnia locale porta in giro nella contea. Cresce in mezzo ai dischi, e per quelle strane ascendenze del gusto, si appassiona ai ritmi e alle atmosfere del blues. Susan Tedeschi frequenta il Berklee College, come Emily Remler (la prima protagonista delle storie di Febbraio) e si specializza in canto gospel e a 20 anni si laurea. Ne ha pochi di più quando fonda la prima Susan Tedeschi Band, con Adrienne Hayes, Jim Lamond e Mike Aiello che, dopo una fondamentale gavetta nel locali di Boston e dintorni, vengono notati da un musicista e produttore, Tom Hambridge (che vincerà nella sua carriera 7 Grammy Awards), che li mette sotto contratto per la piccola etichetta Tone Cool e produce il primo disco, che per scelta sua vedrà a luce solo a nome Susan Tedeschi: Just Won't Burn del 1998 è un grandissimo debutto, con la seconda chitarra di Sean Costello (uno dei più grandi talenti chitarristici di quegli anni, stroncato a 28 anni da complicanze della sua dipendenza dalla droga) che ha due hit da classifica in Rock Me Right e It Hurt So Bad, scritte con Hambridge. Il disco venderà tantissimo per un disco blues di una piccola etichetta, 500 mila copie, e porterà Susan Tedeschi a suonare per gente come John Mellencamp, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, The Allman Brothers Band, Taj Mahal e Bob Dylan. Nel 2003 apre quasi tutti i concerti americani del Licks Tour di un certo gruppo inglese, appena arrivato ai 40 anni di attività, i Rolling Stones, acquisendo una fama crescente, anche per le sue meravigliose qualità artistiche, che penso si esprimano al meglio nel disco di oggi.

È chiamata, per la terza volta, ad esibirsi per l'Austin City Limits, uno dei programmi musicali più famosi degli Stati Uniti, che trasmette un concerto dal vivo di 60 minuti sui canali della PBS, che è la televisione pubblica negli USA. Insieme a lei, William Green all'organo Hammond, Jason Crosby alle tastiere, violino e ai cori, Ron Perry al basso e Jeff Sipe alla batteria. Live In Austin TX esce nel 2004 ed è un delizioso esempio di classe e maestria musicale: la chitarra e la voce di Susan giganteggiano, senza mai strafare, ma lasciando evidenti tocchi di bellezza (tra l'altro vi invito a fare caso alla differenza che ha la sua voce quando canta e quando, quasi timida, ringrazia con un Thank You gli applausi). E la sua chitarra è una espressione di questa dolcezza: mai ossessiva, ma affilata e precisa, con assoli eleganti e morbidi, accompagnati da inserimenti degli altri strumenti. In scaletta pezzi del suo repertorio solista (It Hurt So Bad, la sofferta I Fell In Love, Wrapped In The Arms Of Another), altri scritti per lei (The Feeling Music Brings dal futuro marito Derek Tucks) ma soprattutto una meravigliosa collezione di cover, dove viene fuori il suo canto di impostazione gospel e tutto il suo talento: You Can Make It If You Try di Sly And The Family Stone, Gonna Move di Paul Pena, Alone di Tommy Sims (che produsse Streets Of Philadelphia di Bruce Springsteen), Love's in Need Of Love Today di Stevie Wonder e un suo cavallo di battaglia, sia su disco che dal vivo, Angel From Montgomery di John Prine, che è così strettamente identificata con Bonnie Riatt, altra grandiosa cantante e chitarrista, il cui testimone è preso da Tedeschi in questo senso. C'è il soul di Voodoo Woman di Koki Taylor, uno strumentale meraviglioso come Hampmotized e c'è la cover più bella e sentita di Don't Think It Twice, It's All Right di Bob Dylan: la versione originale del grande di Duluth era basata su un folk tradizionale, Who's Gonna Buy You Ribbons When I'm Gone?, e riprendeva un verso da una rielaborazione dello stesso brano fatta da Paul Clayton, che rititolò il brano Who's Gonna Buy Your Chickens When I'm Gone. Il brano ha una leggenda in sé: si dice che fu scritto da un giovane Dylan (il brano fa parte del leggendario The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan del 1963) preoccupato e "geloso" del fatto che la vacanza della sua allora fidanzata, Suzie Rotolo (che è la ragazza che appre nella copertina dello stesso disco a braccetto con lui), in Italia si stesse allungando troppo, immaginando quindi come sarebbe stato raccontare un litigio. In realtà come scrisse Nat Hentoff nel libretto originale (Hentoff è stato critico musicale del Village Voice per 51 anni) è probabilmente il primo degli innumerevoli "discorsi con sè" di Dylan, "un'affermazione che magari puoi dire per sentirti meglio… come se stessi parlando da solo". l'arrangiamento slow blues di Tedeschi è fantastico, con il violino e l'organo Hammond, e diventerà per anni uno dei momenti più attesi dei suoi concerti.

Concerti che saranno sempre il fulcro principale della sua attività, soprattutto dopo l'incontro, prima sentimentale e poi artistico, con Derek Trucks, altro chitarrista formidabile, erede della dinastia Allman Brothers, con cui formerà dal 2010 una Tedeschi Trucks Band, vincendo nel 2012 un Grammy con il disco Revelator. Una grande artista e un'altra grande chitarra da scoprire.

something that i genuinely can not comprehend is the a) amount of kudos on my works b) the hit:kudos ratio on the importance of being polite

i actually never thought i would get to this point but relatively recently i hit 500 kudos and ive never been prouder. the ru ao3 bubble is not as big as the ficbook (which i do not miss) community but i still got to this number. no i don't care that half of these have come from my family. i am proud

and then in comparison theres tiobp with 2022:21 ratio which is insane. what do you MEAN 2022. ive got 3 fics that got past a 1k mark in hits and tiobp is the WORSTTTT ratiowise. in makes me sad! like i understand it's a very long morally hard text in russian but like. did noone read the tags? or did noone like it? im confused and sad and disappointed

anyway tiobp fans im cooking something for the second anni. prepare yourselves

Carole King

Carole King, la cantautrice e compositrice di maggior successo della seconda metà del Ventesimo secolo, è stata un modello per diverse generazioni di musiciste e musicisti.

Le sue canzoni sono state riprese e interpretate da artisti come Quincy Jones, Rod Stewart, Bee Gees e Manhattan Transfer.

Cento diciotto sue canzoni sono entrate nella Billboard Hot 100 e sessantuno nella classifica inglese.

Con la sua fortunatissima You’ve Got a Friend è stata la prima donna della storia a vincere il Grammy nel 1972.

Nata col nome di Carol Klein, a New York il 9 febbraio del 1942, ha mostrato un precoce talento come pianista e autrice. Era alle scuole superiori quando ha formato il quartetto vocale Co-Sines. Poi è passata ai Tokens, la band del suo fidanzato di allora, Neil Sedaka che aveva scritto una canzone che porta il suo nome.

Arrivata al Queens College aveva conosciuto una serie di promettenti artisti, tra cui Paul Simon e Gerry Goffin, che sarebbe diventato suo marito e co-autore con cui ha sfornato pezzi che hanno fatto la storia della musica,

Il loro primo successo Will You Love Me Tomorrow, composto per le Shirelles, raggiunse la vetta della Billboard Hot 100 il 1˚ gennaio del 1961 quando Carole King doveva ancora compiere 19 anni.

Insieme hanno prodotto hit per i nomi più grandi dell’epoca, dagli Animals ai Byrds e i Monkees, fino al capolavoro ‘You Make Me Feel (Like A Natural Woman)’, realizzata per Aretha Franklin.

La costruzione musicale dei loro successi si discostava dagli stereotipi dell’epoca per il loro stile nelle armonizzazioni, che hanno ispirato anche i primi Beatles.

Dopo il divorzio da Goffin, nel 1968, si è trasferita a Los Angeles con le due figlie per vivere in una comune creativa dove ha conosciuto Joni Mitchell, James Taylor e la sua compagna Toni Stern con cui ha scritto It’s Too Late, una tappa fondamentale nel percorso per divenire una songwriter in autonomia. È stato un periodo difficile della sua vita, ma che le è servito per acquisire consapevolezza delle sue capacità e potenziale.

È stato in quella fase che ha composto molti dei brani finiti nell’album Tapestry, inclusa You’ve Got a Friend, ispirata a un verso della canzone di James Taylor Fire and Rain. Il disco, posizionato dalla rivista Rolling Stone al 36º posto nella classifica dei 500 migliori album di tutti i tempi, ha venduto ventidue milioni di copie in tutto il mondo e le ha portato ben quattro Grammy per miglior album dell’anno, migliore canzone, migliore composizione dell’anno e migliore interprete femminile, facendole detenere per 20 anni il record femminile di permanenza in classifica.

Questo disco dal successo strepitoso ha contribuito a rendere un genere popolare il cantautorato confessionale e le donne del rock hanno trovato un modello da seguire.

Superando gradualmente la sua timidezza e insicurezza a mostrarsi in pubblico, ha suonato capolavori come It’s Too Late e I Feel the Earth Move davanti a platee sempre più grandi, fino al mega concerto gratuito a Central Park del 26 maggio 1973, quando si è esibita davanti a una folla di 70000 persone.

Oltre alla musica, passione di una vita, Carole King ha sempre avvertito una forte attrazione per la natura incontaminata e la libertà.

Dopo l’esperienza della comune californiana, si è trasferita in una piccola città di montagna, nell’Idaho, e da questa dimensione è cominciato così il suo attivismo ambientale, più volte si è recata a Washington con l’Alliance for the Wild Rockies.

Nel 1990, è stata inserita, insieme a Goffin, nella Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nella categoria non-esecutori per il suo successo come autrice musicale.

Nel 1996 è stato realizzato un film ispirato alla sua vita, Grace of my heart.

Ha riscritto la canzone Where You Lead (I Will Follow) per adattarla al telefilm Una mamma per amica, cantandola con la figlia Louise Goffin. È anche apparsa in qualche episodio, nel ruolo della proprietaria del negozio di musica.

Ha prodotto diversi altri dischi, mai uguagliando il successo di Tapestry, ma ha continuato a suonare, adorata dal pubblico e dalla critica.

Tanti i premi che le sono stati riconosciuti nella sua carriera, tra i quali spiccano la stella col suo nome nella Hollywood Walk of Fame, il Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song conferitole da Barack Obama e il Kennedy Center Honors.

Nel 2014 ha debuttato a Broadway il musical sulla sua vita, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.

La timida figlia dei fiori newyorkese che si è imposta sulla scena internazionale, con la sua voce limpida e la delicata sensibilità, pregna delle utopie degli anni Settanta, non si è fatta mai travolgere dallo star system, conservando integra la sua grazia iniziale intrisa di grandi ideali.

Negli ultimi anni si esibisce poco, mentre è rimasto immutato il suo impegno per l’ambiente.

League of Legends Patch Notes – 13.7 Update Nerfs Meta Junglers, Phew

As we approach MSI there’s a new round of League of Legends patch notes to sink our teeth into – literally, as the MOBA‘s beloved Cats vs Dogs skinline has made a comeback post-April 1. If you pick up the Nidalee skin you’ll probably get the chance to make good use of it, as meta junglers Lee Sin, Sejuani, and Vi are taking the nerf hammer to the face in 13.7. Lee Sin, Sejuani, and Vi all get nerfed I’d be a liar if I said writing that didn’t give me an awful sense of satisfaction. All three junglers have dominated the meta – especially in pro play – and as a result are getting taken down a few pegs ahead of MSI. Lee Sin’s base attack damage and armour have been knocked down by a couple of points each, and Vi has been shifted towards AD to negate her building tank items but dealing out huge amounts of damage. Sejuani’s Arctic Assault (Q) and Glacial Prison (R) now also have longer cooldowns, and her passive’s damage cap has been decreased to stop her easily beating up epic monsters like drakes and the Baron. League of Legends patch notes – 13.7 update Below are the champion changes from League of Legends patch 13.7, as well as a list of any upcoming skins and chromas.

“Mister Moneybags” Annie Besson

Emojis: 🚹 💰

Name: “Mister Moneybags” Annie Besson

Pronouns: She/Her (He/Him when the mood strikes)

Nicknames (insulting): That bitch, that bastard

Nicknames (affectionate): That bitch, that bastard , Genderfuckery Icon, Queen, King

Character Profile: Daughter of the original Mister Moneybags, Annie Besson opted to keep her father’s nom-de-guerre wholesale rather than alter it into a variant like “Miss Moneybags” or “Madame Moneybags”. Proud inheritor of her father’s legacy, Annie Besson brings the same swaggering confidence to her work. Able to rouse the anger of any crowd with a well placed flex or cutting insult (garnished with a soupçon of a French accent), the modern Mister Moneybags makes a fine antagonist in any storyline. Unlike her father, Annie favours a hard-hitting Strong Style enriched with a variety of infuriating holds. Mister Moneybags’ preferred tactic is to target one spot of her opponent’s repertoire (be that the limb they need for their finisher or a weakspot) and to work it until she can end the match with one smug and devastating hold. Prospective opponents should be warned against challenging her confidence, however, as an enraged Mister Moneybags has been known to lose matches on a DQ by breaking her opponent’s limb. While laying her opponents out for months on end while they recover always incurs a heavy fine, they don’t call her Mister Moneybags for nothing. Indeed on several occasions she has simply tossed a wad of cash to the ref with a smug grin on her face while her injured opponent is being carted out on a hospital gurney.

Finisher: The Torture Rack (called the Torture 500), the Backbreaker (inhereted from her father, called the Bankbreaker). Bankbreaker into Torture 500 is a combination reserved only for her most hated foes.

Design: Just as I had decided to make a concerted effort to add more women to the roster… I rolled up the Mensroom and a Moneybag. Thus while the title “Mister Moneybags” immediately sprung to mind I decided to take it in a more Charlotte Flair inspired direction and have her be an inheritor to the mantle. Other than that my aim with Annie Besson was simply to create a BEEG BUFF WOMAN whom you would thank for breaking your arm, and I think I succeeded. The Mister Moneybags logo was fun to design as well, consisting of a dollar symbol and a mars symbol merged into one.

Fire High Score event information is up, and that means teambuilding. Unlike Electric, Fire is a type I respect and invest in, so I feel like this one I can do better at.

MU Torchic, Anni N, Serena vs. Kiawe (needs Sp Def drops) Condition is "Strike pairs lose 80% of their stats." So Tech it is.

This is by far the shakiest of the fights, because I personally think MU Torchic sucks ass as a support, but it's literally all we have to work with. I am hoping, foolishly, that Anni N can manage its HP needs with Noble Roar. If the Eevee Day stuff runs into the end of this, I may try with a 3/5 Eevee Lucas. The spread debuffs will really accelerate N's offensive presence, which might be better than relying on survival. The goal is fairly simple. Serena can hit all foes with Sleep, stalling out a few extra turns while N debuffs and Torchic caps its needed offenses. Once we get to Blue Flare spam, N has Pep Rally and Sp Def debuffs to offset the stage's gimmicks. Because of resilience, I expect Serena to contribute little beyond some target DPS on Overheat. If we can hit 350 strength on this one, I'll feel good about it. Torchic will want to use Flamethrower for some burns, since we get an extra 1k from a burn landing.

Kiawe, Leon, Silver vs. Blaine (Evasion and Ground weak) No conditions. Just a straight brawl.

Blaine's team is 100% weak to Leon, so this feels like the obvious call. Kiawe is the best Leon partner among the supports, being able to top off crit rate and hopefully offenses without another use of TM. Leon's Max Move on Ground will give the team added Sp Def bulk, which hopefully assists with survival. The one thing about Leon is that his sync sucks. I am supplementing that with Silver, who has a pretty solid sync nuke, and supplies Sun. Admittedly, I am not in love with this solution, but it's the solution I have on hand right now. And who knows, maybe Sun-boosted Inferno is just better than the on-type damage. At least until he rolls SEUN. If we can get 400 strength, I'll be happy with it. I'm probably not going to be happy with it. In fact. If Serena works out up there. I'm putting Eevee Lucas over Silver. It'll likely achieve comparable results, but it gets the Main Character condition in.

Evelyn, Hilda, NC Leaf Vs. Flint (needs Burn and pre-sync) No healing. *sigh*. Okay, so there goes the Potion support for Evelyn.

The condition fucks Evelyn up like crazy, but she's the strongest raw defensive booster in the type. NC Leaf's debuffs also feel ideal here, minimizing the damage we're likely to take. Hilda may not have Potion, but she's self-sufficient on boosting and has a decent spread nuke for after Leaf's first setting the rebuff. I am hopeful we can achieve 500 Strength here, but lack of healing may hinder us.

Marley, SS May, Lodge Irida Vs. Chili (needs Def drops) -2 move gauge. Alright, deal.

Now this one I am substantially less confident in. Marley is EX, but even with that, she's frail as sin. Which seriously limits our potential for higher strength clears, because she's just gonna die. SS May is not know for her speed of debuffs. However...that's why Irida's here. Irida has flinch, which is a wonderful tool to stall out those extra turns for May to kick things apart. Irida can also supply some really nice secondary DPS in Flare Blitz when we get down to the wire, and has a solid 50% burn rate for that extra 1k points. Marley will want to grid Flag Bearer to maximizing Atk for the team. Much like MC Torchic, I feel like this is not a team built for true success, so if we can hit 350 I'll be satisfied.

SS Morty, SS Hilda, Ethan Vs. Flannery (Need Sun) 80% reduction in ally sync nuke. Motherfucker.

SS Hilda's the only sensible solution. Given her raw DPS on V-Create, this is the highest base damage we can toss around. I am choosing, very hesitantly, to go with Ethan and his Eruption. But I am, at a moment's notice, ready to swap him for SS Red. While I hate to say it, Red has better move damage, and Ethan is Rock-weak so he might just die against Flannery. But god I am hoping I don't have to use Red. Please game, you can't make me do this. Red would be a good call though. He doesn't really need his sync beyond transforming, so Supports are good here. NC Leaf with Role Cake is probably great on this too. Given Morty's defensive profile, I am very much hoping for a 500 strength clear here. The main problem I have with this team is the Burn. While I don't think he's great due to the lack of sync damage, Silver could supply more Sun and has a 50% burn rate, so maybe I'll shuffle him here over Ethan? Though Ethan's Flamethrower isn't a terrible burn rate.
