Its been 1 week since the 2024 Olympics are done.

Then oh, there are male Olympians -especially - who went for the best.

There are some of them who are single, then are taken & married (sorry ladies); however, they catch the eyes of some sports fans even due to their great attractiveness (especially, in a platonic way - like the f1tfballesc_etc admin). 😉💖

With that, we present to you the 1st batch of the MOST ATTRACTIVE 2024 MALE OLYMPIC ATHLETES (rated based on physical appearance, skills & personality)!

Whom did we miss? Comment down below the name so that we'll include that male Olympian in the 2nd batch.

The second round of 2023 FC Bayern March Madness is now closed!

In the Round of 16, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting secured the largest victory with 93.8% of the vote in his matchup against newcomer Daley Blind, while Manuel Neuer v Matthijs de Ligt was the closest with Manuel winning by a margin of 9.8%. At least 97 voters participated in this round.

Looking forward to the next round, things are really starting to heat up, and we’re down to our top 8 players. Here's a brief preview of the next round of polls:

MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP! Two of Bayern's most outgoing (and chaotic) players compete in the first match up of the Quarterfinals as Thomas Müller meets Alphonso Davies.

The two goalscorers from Bayern's last champions league win face off as Eric Maxim-Choupo Moting meets Serge Gnabry in the bracket.

Youth meets experience as starboy Jamal Musiala takes on veteran goalkeeping icon Manuel Neuer.

Bayern's midfield duo Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka go from playing side-by-side to going head-to-head in the final matchup of the Quarterfinals.

All four quarterfinal matches will all be posted on Tuesday, March 14 at 9:00am ET.

Night at The Museum (Sundove88’s Version) Casting

This is a Birthday present for @thehyperrequiem! Happy B Day!

Dreamer Joe Puddy thinks he's destined for something big but his imaginative ideas never pay off and in desperate need of a job, he accepts to be a security guard at the Natural History Museum. During his watch, Joe makes a startling discovery. Thanks to the unleashing of an Egyptian curse, the museum's characters spring to life after the building closes. Joe must find a way to save the chaotic situation.

Once the night guard at the Museum of Natural History, Joe Puddy is now a successful purveyor of infomercial products. Soon after learning that his museum friends have been shipped to the Smithsonian Institution, Joe receives a distress call from Arthur Morgan, who warns him that four of history's greatest villains have come to life and are planning to take over the Smithsonian first, then the world. Joe joins forces with friends old and new to stop the quartet's nefarious plans.

When the exhibits at New York's Natural History Museum start behaving strangely, Joe Puddy -- now the director of nighttime operations -- must find out the cause. He learns that the Tablet, which magically brings Speedwagon, Arthur Morgan, and the other exhibits to life at night, has started to decay. Joe, along with his son and museum friends, must travel to London's British Museum to learn how to prevent the Tablet's magic from disappearing.

Peter Tatchell Foundation leads protest at Westminster Abbey

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/peter-tatchell-foundation-leads-protest-at-westminster-abbey/

Peter Tatchell Foundation leads protest at Westminster Abbey

The Peter Tatchell Foundation will coordinate protests at Westminster Abbey on Monday against leaders of 30 Commonwealth countries that criminalise LGBT+ people.

The Church of England and UK Government will welcome the homophobes to the Commonwealth’s 75th-anniversary service at Westminster Abbey.

The Peter Tatchell Foundation is coordinating a protest from 12 noon as homophobic leaders arrive. It will include LGBT+ people who have fled victimisation and violence in Commonwealth countries.

Peter Tatchell said the anti-LGBT+ laws in the 30 countries violate the Commonwealth Charter.

As the Commonwealth celebrates, we mourn!

“As the Commonwealth celebrates, we mourn!

“We are calling out the 30 Commonwealth leaders who violate the equality principles of their own constitutions and the Commonwealth Charter. They preside over the state-sanctioned persecution of their LGBT+ citizens.

“Thirty out of 56 Commonwealth countries criminalise homosexuality, mostly under laws imposed by Britain during the nineteenth century when it was the colonial power. Six Commonwealth countries have life imprisonment. Millions of LGBT+ Commonwealth citizens are at risk of arrest, jail time, mob violence and discrimination in employment, housing, education and health care.

“These anti-LGBT+ laws violate the Commonwealth Charter which pledges that all member states are ‘committed to equality’ and are ‘opposed to all forms of discrimination.’

“Most Commonwealth leaders refuse to recognise that LGBT+ rights are human rights. For 75 years, they’ve vetoed any discussion of the issue at their heads of government meetings.

“Countries that criminalise LGBT+ people should be suspended from the Commonwealth.”

The protest will urge all Commonwealth governments to:

Decriminalise same-sex relations.

Prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Enforce laws against threats and violence, to protect LGBT+ people from hate crimes.

Consult and dialogue with their LGBT+ organisations.

NOTE: The six Commonwealth countries that have a maximum penalty of life imprisonment for same-sex acts are: Bangladesh, Guyana, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Tanzania and Uganda.

The Commonwealth:

Petition Urging Commonwealth Countries To Scrap Anti-Gay Laws Gets 100,000 Signatures.

UK PM Theresa May Urges Repeal Of Anti-Gay Laws Across Commonwealth.

Albums Of 2022: 25-1

Part one of this list (numbers 50-26) is here:                       

The countdown continues:

25.

HVOB "TOO"

Austrian duo HVOB (Her Voice Over Boys)'s 5th album is another melding pounding techno, with lush vocals, elements of trance and house, chilled soundscapey moments and more downtempo fare. Mesmerising.

24.

Leftfield "This Is What We Do"

Second Leftfield album as a Neil Barnes solo project, and 4th overall, this album is unsurprisingly closer in sound to its 2015 predecessor 'Alternative Light Source' than either of the albums made as a duo with Paul Daley, and while they may not be as legendary and classic as 'Leftism' or (as some may argue) 'Rhythm & Stealth' they are still very good records. As ever a genre melting pot, with elements of dub, techno, breakbeat, punk, chillout etc.

23.

Röyksopp "Profound Mysteries"

The first part of the Norwegian duo's 2022 album trilogy contains the typical combination of danceable floorfillers and beautiful chilled moments. Quality stuff. Honestly if they'd done a best of the 3 parts as one album, it could be the best they'd done.

22.

Synthsonic "Iconiq"

Hard trance producer Carl Nicholson wanted to create a multi-genre (within dance music) band type project. So along with fellow producer Dave Parkinson, pianist Paul Skelton, and vocalists Renny Carroll & Niki Mak, he has done just that. A dance music journey, they claim 8 genres appear over the 12 tracks, with trance, house, breaks and drum & bass among them. A nice nostalgic reminder of the more inventive dance albums of the past.

21.

Billy Daniel Bunter & Sanxion "1993"

The second collaborative album from these two, this time concentrating on recreating the style of breakbeat hardcore from 1993. Job done, nailed it. Big breaks, pianos, vocal hooks all present. Love it.

20.

Lupa J "A New Kind Of Magic"

I've liked Lupa J's brand of glacial electro-pop since 2016's My Right Name EP, but this, her 3rd full length, is her best work yet. As she's brought the breakbeats. Adding old school breaks to her modern glitchy style works a charm, and this is a mesmerising, hypnotic listen.

19.

Working Mens Club "Fear Fear"

They may be from Yorkshire, but I hear a lot of influence from 70s & 80s Manchester here. From Joy Division to the dance beats of the Haçienda via some synth-pop, this album is full of upbeat (in a rhythmical sense) melancholy and a bleak view of the world, but not afraid to use a catchy hook.

18.

William Orbit "The Painter"

Chilled beauty, elements of dub, gorgeous guest vocals, all wrapped up in music that is distinctly Orbit.

17.

PVA "Blush"

Mixing pounding dance music, with live percussion, spoken vocals and post-punk vibe, makes this band rather unique and their debut album one to treasure.

16.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Cool It Down"

Though at only 8 tracks and 32 minutes, it only just qualifies as an album - controversial statement incoming - this is probably YYY's best album yet. Bathed in electronics, to set mood and produce energy, with some huge instrumentation, synths and beats, with some big hooks, there are multiple tracks here that are up there with the band's classics like "Date With The Night" or "Zero" but really don't sound like them.

15.

Holy Wars "Eat It Up, Spit It Out"

Debut album from this LA duo, and it packs a punch. Flitting genres from rock and punk with some hip hop influences and a large pinch of electronics, these songs pack attitude and hooks aplenty. Singer Kat Leon is a bona fide rock star, just not enough people have heard of her yet. Give it time.

14.

Annie Hamilton "The Future Is Here But It Feels Kinda Like The Past"

Sydney folk and indie pop band Little May's debut album was dreamy, atmospheric, warm and beautiful. Their follow up wasn't. I wondered what happened, and now I feel it may well have been because Annie Hamilton left the band between albums. For this, her debut solo album is dreamy, atmospheric, warm and beautiful. As Rough Trade put it "Dream pop can sometimes feel detached and low-stakes, but not in the hands of Annie Hamilton. The Sydney solo artist applies an urgent kick of immediacy to shoegaze-style layering, stacking heady textures so impactfully that everything she sings about begins to feel like sensory immersion." And that is the thing, there's not an abundance of big choruses or catchy hooks here, but it draws you in and surrounds you and just feels lovely.

13.

Celsius "1992"

A tribute to the breakbeat hardcore, and the music of the raves in 1992, and a very good one. It sounds just like it was made in 1992. If you like that sort of stuff you will find much to enjoy here. Top one, nice one, get sorted.

12.

Mojave Phone Booth "Hollow The Numbers"

Former Snake River Conspiracy members Tobey Torres-Doran and Mitchell Doran, with drummer Lynn Farmer of Meat Beat Manifesto, release their 2nd album as Mojave Phone Booth, and what a genre hopping journey it is. Across the course of the album there are elements of industrial, trip-hop, punk and even a 10 minute breakbeat-esque club stomper with "Analog Religion". Excellent stuff.

11.

Ben Gold "Rest Of Our Lives"

Stunning euphoric trance on this debut album from Ben Gold, featuring two of the biggest vocal tunes on the scene this year with the title track and the magnificent "Same Sky Same Stars" featuring Plumb.

10.

Feeder "Torpedo"

The quality of Feeder albums have been up and down over their career. The last couple (2016's "All Bright Electric" & 2019's "Tallulah") represented somewhat of a return to form and were very good records. "Torpedo", however, is pretty much a Feeder classic. Mixing elements from their first 4 albums (and mini album "Swim"), from chunky riffs to soaring choruses and beautiful slower songs, this album is their first since "Comfort In Sound" to give me that feeling which made Feeder one of my favourite bands back in the late 90s and early 00s.

9.

Grum "Unreality"

Fusing an 80s influenced, almost synthwave sound, with deep house, trance & techno, Grum's latest is an intriguing and addictive beast, helped in no small part to some stunning vocal contributions from the likes of Natalie Shay and Sarah Appel amongst others.

8.

Conjure One "Innovation Zero"

Rhys Fulber, the mastermind behind Conjure One (and also one half of Delerium), unleashes his 4th album under this alias. It is a dark, yet beautiful, exquisitely produced album of downtempo electronic music. Staggering melodies in the vocal led songs, mesmerising soundscapes in the instrumentals, this contains 3 of my favourite songs of the year, in "Animals", "Hide" & "Wheels Come Off".

7.

Craig Connelly "Believe In Magic"

My absolute favourite of the new trance producers to emerge in the last decade or so, Craig Connelly unleashes his 3rd artist album of uplifting trance, mixing vocal anthems and instrumental stormers.

6.

Placebo "Never Let Me Go"

In my opinion, Placebo haven't made a bad album, and this, their first in 9 years, is fortunately no exception. Typical fuzzy guitars, drums both real and programmed, a soaking of synths and electronics, Placebo often look to do something different with each album, and they do, but only slightly. So it's always undeniably Placebo, but it just keeps it a bit fresh. They themselves here sound somewhat renewed and recharged and ready for action.

5.

Vukovi "NULA"

A concept album then, for Vukovi's 3rd opus, but none of your moustache twiddling, pretentious, triple album nonsense that can so often come from the concept album. Nope, this is a Vukovi album good and proper and the songs within will stir up many a mosh pit. It's heavy, it's bouncy, it's melodic. It simply rocks. One of the most reliably brilliant bands in the world right now.

4.

Blood Red Shoes "Ghosts On Tape"

This was a little unexpected. Every Blood Red Shoes album has been enjoyable. Every one has made my top 50 of its release year (I believe), but none have broken the top ten. This, then, is their masterwork (at least so far). Combining elements of the older rocky era, with the later more electronic output, "Ghosts On Tape" is a spectacular melting pot of sound, with some brilliantly good tunes.

3.

Brigade "Dissonance"

Wow, where did this come from? I saw Brigade live in support slots a couple of times in the mid to late 00s, liked them, bought their first 2 albums (and completely missed that they had an album out in 2011). You know, they were good, but didn’t blow me away. But when I heard this was out I thought it deserved a listen. My, how they have grown. “Dissonance” is fantastic! Yes there are elements of the band they were, but it’s gone super widescreen. Taking the epicness of post-rock, a dash of prog (in the way of having many ideas in one song, rather than the meandering length), with some brilliant vocal hooks and melodies. It’s huge, spine tingling, and manages some to get some huge riffs in there in places too. Superb.

2.

The Glitch Mob "Ctrl Alt Reality"

I wasn't that aware of The Glitch Mob until a month or so ago. I think I'd heard the name, and checking out their previous albums of heavily American festival main stage EDM slanted bass music, if I had heard any previously, I'd've thought 'nah, not for me'. But I saw someone praising this album online, so I checked it out, and it blew my mind. Out goes their modern EDM style production and in comes the old school. More specifically, the amen breakbeat. And lots of it. This is a lazer sharp, immaculately produced, love letter to early 90s rave culture, specifically hardcore and jungle music, and the beautiful power of the breakbeat. And while it is stuffed to the gills with old school style samples and sounds, it doesn't sound like it was made then. It's not a carbon copy. It sounds like it was made today, but it ticks all the boxes for someone who was in love with that music in the 90s.

1.

Pure Reason Revolution "Above Cirrus"

Pure Reason Revolution released 3 astonishing albums (2 of which were Offbeat albums of the year) of modern prog, mixed with almost metal riffs, Beach Boys-esque 3 way vocal harmonies, and massive amounts of electronics before they called it a day in 2011. Core duo Jon Courtney and Chloë Alper reformed the band in 2019, and in 2020 unleashed 4th album “Eupnea”. While “Eupnea” was a very good album, and it was great to have them back, something wasn’t quite the same as it was. That magic spark wasn’t quite all there. But wow is it back with “Above Cirrus”. Right from opener “Our Prism” the huge vocal harmonies are there to tingle your spine, to announce PRR are back on form, and prepare you for the ride. Stunning stuff.

---------------------------------------------------

The top 3 albums were all considered for the number 1 spot, and it was very, very close in the end, but PRR took it.

The first round of 2023 FC Bayern March Madness is complete!

Thomas Müller secured the biggest victory of the tournament, winning his matchup against young goalkeeper Johannes Schenk with 97.5% of votes, while Dayot Upamecano defeated Sadio Mané with 56.3% of votes in the Round of 32's closest matchup. Winter signee Daley Blind pulled off the biggest "upset" of the tourney and defeated the club's fourth most capped player, Kingsley Coman.

The contest between Leon Goretzka and Alexander Nübel had the most votes of the first round of voting, with 112 people participating in the poll!

We now prepare to move on to the Round of 16, which will take place on Saturday, March 11-Sunday, March 12, with four polls being posted each day. As with the Round of 32, each poll will be posted at 9:00am ET (which will be an hour earlier locally for individuals in countries that don't adjust their clocks for Daylight Saving this Sunday!).

Thank you to everyone who has participated so far! You can refer to the original page for the tourney here.
