Let's Put Addicted to Love in Context
When Kiss covered Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love for their 1988 Best Of compilation Smashes, Thrashes & Hits the fans w… . I'm just kidding.
As we all know for sure, it's almost a matter of course for Let's Put the X in Sex to be occasionally lambasted as an obvious Addicted to Love rip-off. A social formula, so to speak, among Kiss fans. Anyway, the similarities between these two songs should not be the focus today, as they only make up 240° of the circle that I intend to close. And to answer the obvious question of where the remaining 120° went, I can only say to Love Gun, of course. And this raises the following question for me:
Did Robert Palmer actually listen to Kiss back in the day? Does anyone happen to know? I'm not saying that he necessarily did, but I think it's not unlikely that he might have known Christine Sixteen at the very least. And could have been inspired a little by it. I just dare to say that very casually and frankly, and especially when I listen to the main riff from Christine Sixteen. I'm talking once again about those guitars whistling sexy after a woman, which harmonize so wonderfully with the piano. And it may well be that Gene didn't invent this kind of visualization in rock music, but made it certainly culturally memorable and to the point. Chiseled in rock, so to speak (1).
And just as Gene did before, I think Robert Palmer did as well, and raised it to another level and an over-stylized, pompously glamorous and synthetic pose, dry-cleaned and full of 80's self-prestige. Not entirely without a wink, of course. Impossible not to conjure up the immortal music video in your mind's eye. But let's be honest, aren't the ladies in it a little as made up as the ones on Kiss' Love Gun cover? All Kiss had to do after that was to bring back the usual Kiss ass-wiggling. And that all the more so. Just take a look at Paul in the video.
Side Note:
(1) And the Van Halen brothers certainly helped him.

I had a dream that I was showing Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera to friends for the first time... and I wanted them to see the 2004 movie first, because I feel like it does kind of do a better job explaining things for new phans than the 25th does (because of scenes of dialogue it added in). But then it got to the point where Emmy Rossum was about to sing "Think of Me," and I was like, "I can't do it" (because of Emmy's singing and acting in the movie, tbh). So I stopped the DVD and put the 25th instead, and fast-forwarded it to where Sierra Boggess was about to sing "Think of Me," and played the rest of the recording of the show from there. LOL

Skaters, coaches, and family killed in the Washington Plane Crash over the Potomac River:
These skaters were returning from the post-Nationals Development Camp for young skaters in Wichita, KS. This is an event for up and coming athletes that gives them the opportunity to be seen by USFS officials and train with top coaches. All of these skaters were extremely young. Please correct me if I made an error, but I don't believe any of them were older than sixteen.
Unfathomable tragedy. Skating is such a small community. Everyone is going to feel the resonance of this. It's reminiscent of the 1961 Team USA figure skating plane crash. My heart goes out to everyone affected.

Edwin Payne and Charles Rowland (Daemon AU)
Then Edwin’s gaze drops down to Christine, to her scaled body barely poking out from under the blanket. “I have told you my daemon’s name,” Edwin says, “May I have the privilege of knowing yours?”
It isn’t a privilege, mate, Charles nearly says, because knowing a daemon’s name is about as normal as knowing a person’s, but more especially because Christine was named by his father. A violation, of sorts, that Charles just had to get used to over the years. That Charles just had to accept, because that’s what he did with his father’s orders.
But then Charles looks down at Christine and he realizes that she’s been one shape for longer than she’s ever been before.
For a moment, in his shivering state, in his fevered mind, he thinks that she’s just grown as cold and sluggish as him, but he knows as he manages to pry a couple of stiff fingers out from under his blanket to touch her that that’s not it. Of course that’s not it.
Charles, colder than the coldest blizzard he’s ever felt, slowly beginning to thaw thanks to the lantern of this ghost in front of him, this first night of kindness he’s ever been given, has finally had his daemon settle between one cold breath and the next.
People so rarely rename their daemons. His father would consider it a smack in the face. He’d easily belt Charles for the insult.
But Charles is sixteen and dying and he sees the divine for the first time as his daemon, his girl, huddles up on his lap, as cold and wet and alone as he is. He has a chance to make something new of her. Something new of himself.
And Charles doesn’t want to carry around his father’s family names anymore.

Family Ties.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(y/n) tomlinson was the second oldest tomlinson sibling, with her older brother louis, being the oldest, she was currently as of 2024 at the gorgeous age of twenty-nine.
being a member of a family that was known around the world because she had a famous brother who was in one of biggest boy bands in the world, her sisters being influencers, her life was most of the time always in the news.
back in 2010, she first met the future love of her life, the one and only mr harry edward styles, she was fifteen, he was sixteen, at first the two of them were friends, but then as they grew older sparks flew, there first proper date occurred in 2012, when they went to an italian restaurant and that’s when the whole world found out the truth.
her brother wasn’t really mad, louis knew that harry was a good guy, and that he would treat her accordingly, and so there relationship only seemed to bloom from then on.

My Spotify Wrapped
My Top Song
Tumblr media
Didn't know I was listening to it so frequently. Can you blame me though?
Tumblr media
What do you mean you can tell I spent all of 2024 fantasizing about that old man?!
Well, you know how it is about Gene Simmons. Everytime I find the words to end it, something in his eyes won't let it! I just can't tell him No, No, No! I've got to have him, can't live without him!
But maybe I've got to take a little time. A little time to think things over. 'Cuz I know I've been a gambler, but I'm nobody’s fool!

Pookie may have come in second place on my Spotify but in my heart he'll always be number one!😤💕
Also also Gene and Paul personally gave ME a call and told ME they loved ME. And I'm sure no other KISS fan on Spotify got this exact same message as ME.

What? I am so surprised!

And that's a wrap on my Spotify Wrapped

Waiting for Castings
One could say about Ladies in Waiting that it more than lives up to its title, because it seems in no small measure to have something obstructive about it that slows itself down most of the time, and virtually prevents itself to fully detach itself from it in order to be able to take a final, liberating step forward. And if this succeeds once in the chorus, then only to fall back into the aforementioned obstacle immediately afterwards. And so it goes back and forth in a somewhat schizophrenic way, but hey, the song isn't that long.
Which brings us more or less to the re-write section (1) with Plaster Caster, which is primarily based on the chorus of Ladies in Waiting, right from the verses. With Plaster Caster I've never really been able to tell where the verses end and the chorus begins, but for that it succeeds in picking up the short-lived flow of Ladies in Waiting with apparent ease and much better, maintaining it for the entire length of the song.
Who cares if both melodies and song structures are not only similar in their culminations and happily tootle off into the sunset on the same wavelength for all eternity?
They certainly have my blessing.
Side Note:
(1) Please say hello to Christine Sixteen and Radioactive.
Ladies in Waiting begins with the last verse, while Plaster Caster starts right at the beginning. Press the links and don't let anyone stop you from being carried away by the warm bass lines:

New Research Article: Creating Inclusive Linguistics Communication: Crash Course Linguistics
This handbook chapter is a behind-the-scenes of how the Crash Course Linguistics video series came together. I’m really proud that this article includes contributions from the linguistics writing team, including my co-writer Gretchen McCulloch, and our fact checker Jessi Grieser, but also from members of the Complexly team, who produced the show, including Nicole Sweeney, Rachel Alatalo, Hannah Bodenhausen and Ceri Riley. As with the actual videos themselves, this was a dream team. Lingcomm that is inclusive doesn’t just happen as an accident - in this article we discuss some of the ways we set things up to make the best series we could.
This chapter is also a dream project, because it’s part of the excellent double feature: Inclusion in Linguistics and Decolonizing Linguistics, both edited by Anne Charity Hudley, Christine Mallinson, & Mary Bucholz for Oxford University Press. These books are both be available through digital open access. They include some of your new favouite classics about the state of linguistics in research, education and outreach, even if you don’t know that just yet.
Abstract
This case study vignette provides an insight into the choices made in the writing of Crash Course Linguistics (Complexly/PBS 2020). This series of sixteen 10-minute videos cover core introductory level topics for English speakers who consume online content. We discuss how the topics were selected and arranged into a series order. We also discuss the ways we actively built inclusion into the series workflow and content, including in the team that worked on the content, the language examples selected and topics covered. Throughout we discuss the challenges and benefits of working in a collaborative team that includes a media production company and linguists with a commitment to public engagement and communication linguistics to new audiences. Sharing these observations about putting Crash Course Linguistics together is part of our commitment to using public communication to advance the standard of public engagement with the field, and the field’s approach to inclusive practice.
