#flyers photo compilations

[eyeodyssey]

November 15th, 2024 marks the 40th anniversary of the inaugural performance of the Tokyo Grand Guignol’s Mercuro at the Art Theater Shinjuku. While it isn’t fully complete yet, now feels as good a time as ever to share here the current progress of my new translation of Mercuro, an updated “text adaption” as I put it that crosses the full script from June Novel with details that were given through photos, video footage and recollections from audience members. The reason for this is to account for the fact that Mercuro wasn’t a literary play, but an Artaudian experience Ameya conceived in efforts to override what he saw as being a wordy pretention in contemporary theater, his direction even being described before as a sot of "destruction" of Tagane’s writing. Judging Mercuro by just K. Tagane’s text would arguably be missing half the picture, so I’ve done my best to account what I imagine from the evidence that exists what Ameya’s half would've been like to maintain a decent balance. The first act of the play is fully available in two parts for free on my Substack, the second act is still in progress and will be steadily serialized as I finish enough progress on it: - MERCURO (Text Adaption) : ACT 1 : SCENE 1 - MERCURO (Text Adaption) : ACT 1 : SCENES 2 & 3 The process has been a difficult and laborious one in consideration of not just the scarcity of original materials, but the lack of publicly available media as well. Much of Ameya’s direction is not just in the actors, but the handling of visuals and sound design as well, calling back to his influences from Artaud’s more viscerally ritualistic view of theater as a practice. While a handful of songs are known to have been featured, there are still many gaps in between of not just how the songs were sequenced, but how Ameya would’ve edited them as well. A full video recording of Mercuro’s original run (not to be confused with the abridged 1985 Mercuroid TV performance) exists, but it is only in the hands of private collectors. Despite the hurdles throughout my research, through a combination of artistic dedication with what could best be described as obsessive stubbornness against the odds I was able to track down all the materials I could. Special thanks goes to Yu Hirayama of @suikazuraofficial (known for their music compilations, the subculture magazine FEECO and the Steven Stapleton biography Nurse With Wound評伝) for personally providing a copy of the Mercuro volume of June magazine and the Roadsiders article The Time That The Flyers Came To Town. I recommend anyone with an interest in subculture to look into his publications.

Those Google photos memory compilations never stopped being crazy. Here's you with a bunch of people you never talk to anymore. Here's you in San Francisco, a month before the pandemic. Here's the scrape you got when you fell down roller skating and sent the damage to your friend. Here's a funny flyer you saw in 2018. Look how blonde you were. Look how skinny. Your dog was so young then. Remember this sunset that happened 1,000 sunsets ago? Remember when you got a flat tire on your way to work and took a pic for your boss? Here's a weird bug you saw. Here's the fender bender you got into on September 5th, 2020. Here's you and your ex the week you started dating, when you thought they were amazing. Here's some cookies you made. On April 4th, 2019, you saw a stray cat. Remember that? Remember it?

sooo my friend Toast and i decided to start a massive project of compiling together tons of MCR media and information all into one spreadsheet and i just wanted to share a little info about it ~

this is a giant work in progress right now. The first tab is a list of every performance date (that we know of) from pre-pencey pre to the future ls dunes dates and it's location which is all thanks to Toast. We've also added partial-to-full performance videos and flyers!

the second tab is photos which is at literally maybe 10% done, because of all the photos i have saved. all of these are linked separated folders with credits to their photographers. If you have photos to add/want your photos removed please message me!!

We also have the interviews and reviews tabs which are currently empty but are gonna be our next focuses. Interviews will be video & written and will be organized in order. Reviews are a lot of scans from old publications and will eventually have new ones linked

We have plans to add a lot more in the future including physical release information, release dates, song data, and individual song performances. This is gonna be a large project and will take a while so we thank you for your patience :)

We will post updates on our personal twitters and we've been discussing a tumblr/twitter account dedicated as well once we have more done with it so that we can post updates and little "on this day" posts as well!

How Do I Find Cash Home Buyers?

Finding buyers for homes can be a strategic way to expedite the sale of your property and avoid the complications associated with mortgage financing. Here are several effective methods to locate cash home buyers:

Real Estate Agents

Engaging a knowledgeable real estate agent can be highly beneficial. Agents often have extensive networks and can identify potential cash buyers. They can market your property to investors and other clients who prefer to pay cash. Ensure you choose an agent with experience in handling cash transactions.

Real Estate Investment Groups

Real estate investment groups or clubs are excellent resources for finding cash buyers. These groups consist of investors who actively seek properties to buy, often paying in cash to avoid the delays associated with financing. Attend local meetings, join online forums, and network within these groups to find interested buyers.

Online Real Estate Platforms

There are several online platforms dedicated to connecting sellers with cash buyers. Websites allow you to list your property and specify that you are looking for cash offers. Additionally, platforms can be useful for advertising to a broader audience.

Real Estate Auctions

Real estate auctions attract investors who are prepared to buy properties with cash. You can list your property in an auction to attract competitive bids from cash buyers. Auctions can be held online or in person, offering a quick and efficient way to sell your property.

Networking

Personal and professional networks can be valuable sources of cash buyers. Inform friends, family, colleagues, and acquaintances that you are selling your property for cash. Someone within your network might be interested or know someone who is.

Direct Marketing

Direct marketing strategies, such as sending postcards, letters, or flyers to potential buyers, can be effective. Target areas where investors are known to purchase properties. Include key details about your property and emphasize that you are seeking cash buyers.

Real Estate Wholesalers

Real estate wholesalers specialize in finding properties for investors who pay cash. These wholesalers can connect you with buyers looking for investment opportunities. While you might sell for slightly below market value, the process is often quick and straightforward.

Cash Buyer Lists

Some real estate professionals maintain lists of cash buyers who are actively seeking properties. These lists can be acquired through networking or by subscribing to services that compile such data. Having access to these lists can help you directly reach out to potential buyers.

Social Media

Utilize social media platforms to advertise your property to cash buyers. Join real estate groups on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other networks where investors are active. Posting about your property with appealing photos and details can attract attention from cash buyers.

For Sale By Owner (FSBO) Websites

Listing your property on FSBO websites can attract cash buyers looking to deal directly with sellers. These platforms allow you to control the listing process and highlight the benefits of a cash transaction.

Innovative Approaches to Boost Local Charity Fundraising

Supporting local charities is a noble cause that strengthens communities and helps those in need. However, finding creative ways to raise funds can be a challenge. To assist you in your charitable endeavors, here are seven innovative fundraising ideas that can effectively support local charities.

1. Host a Virtual Talent Show

In the digital age, virtual events have become increasingly popular and accessible. Hosting a virtual talent show is an excellent way to engage the community and raise funds. Invite local artists, musicians, dancers, and performers to showcase their talents in a live-streamed event. Viewers can purchase tickets to watch the show, and additional donations can be encouraged during the performance. This not only provides entertainment but also highlights the talents within the community while supporting a good cause.

Steps to Organize:

Select a date and time for the event.

Reach out to local performers and secure their participation.

Choose a streaming platform and set up a ticketing system.

Promote the event through social media, local news outlets, and community organizations.

Encourage viewers to donate during the event by highlighting the charity's mission and impact.

2. Launch a Community Cookbook

Food brings people together, and a community cookbook can be a unique and effective fundraising tool. Collect recipes from local residents, restaurants, and chefs, and compile them into a beautifully designed cookbook. Sell the cookbook online and at local events, with all proceeds going to the charity. This initiative not only raises funds but also celebrates the culinary diversity and heritage of the community.

Steps to Create:

Announce the cookbook project and invite recipe submissions.

Organize and edit the submitted recipes.

Design and format the cookbook, considering both digital and print versions.

Partner with local businesses to print and distribute the cookbook.

Market the cookbook through social media, local media, and community events.

3. Organize a Charity Run or Walk

Charity runs and walks are time-tested fundraising methods that promote health and community spirit. Organize a 5K run or a family-friendly walkathon in your local area. Participants can register for a fee, and additional sponsorships can be secured from local businesses. To add a creative twist, consider themed runs or costume walks to make the event more engaging and memorable.

Steps to Plan:

Choose a date and secure necessary permits for the event location.

Set up a registration system and determine the participation fee.

Reach out to local businesses for sponsorship and support.

Promote the event through social media, flyers, and local media.

Provide participants with fundraising tips and encourage them to seek donations from family and friends.

4. Host an Online Auction

Online auctions offer a convenient way to raise funds while engaging a wide audience. Collect donated items, services, and experiences from local businesses and community members, and auction them off through an online platform. Unique items and experiences, such as artwork, handmade crafts, or exclusive tours, can attract higher bids and generate more excitement.

Steps to Execute:

Solicit donations of items and services from local businesses and individuals.

Choose an online auction platform and set up the auction.

Take high-quality photos and write detailed descriptions of the auction items.

Promote the auction through social media, email newsletters, and community groups.

Keep bidders engaged by providing updates and highlighting popular items.

5. Organize a Charity Game Night

Game nights are a fun way to bring people together while raising funds for a good cause. Host a charity game night featuring board games, card games, trivia, and other group activities. Charge an entry fee, and offer prizes for winners to encourage participation. To increase engagement, consider incorporating a silent auction or raffle during the event.

Steps to Implement:

Select a date, time, and venue for the game night.

Choose a variety of games to appeal to different interests and age groups.

Set an entry fee and promote ticket sales.

Arrange for snacks, drinks, and prizes.

Promote the event through social media, flyers, and community networks.

6. Create a Crowdfunding Campaign

Crowdfunding platforms provide a straightforward way to raise funds for specific causes. Create a compelling campaign that outlines the charity’s mission, the impact of donations, and the fundraising goal. Share the campaign through social media, email, and community networks to reach a wide audience. Offer incentives for different donation levels, such as personalized thank-you notes, shout-outs on social media, or small tokens of appreciation.

Steps to Launch:

Choose a crowdfunding platform and set up the campaign page.

Write a compelling story that explains the charity's mission and how the funds will be used.

Set a realistic fundraising goal and timeline.

Create engaging visuals, such as photos and videos, to enhance the campaign.

Promote the campaign through social media, email, and community networks.

7. Host a DIY Craft Fair

Craft fairs are a wonderful way to showcase local talent and support a charity. Organize a DIY craft fair where local artisans and hobbyists can sell their handmade goods, with a portion of the proceeds going to the charity. Charge an entry fee for vendors and attendees, and offer workshops or demonstrations to attract more visitors.

Steps to Organize:

Choose a date, time, and venue for the craft fair.

Recruit local crafters and artisans to participate as vendors.

Set an entry fee for vendors and attendees.

Promote the event through social media, local media, and community networks.

Arrange for workshops or demonstrations to add value to the event.

Supporting local charities through creative fundraising ideas not only provides essential funds but also strengthens community bonds and raises awareness about important causes. By hosting engaging events and initiatives, you can make a significant impact and inspire others to contribute to the betterment of the community. These seven fundraising ideas offer a variety of ways to get involved, ensuring that there is something for everyone to participate in and support.

Chicago trio C-Clamp's discography has been re-pressed for the first time ever in a new 3LP set compiling the '95 and '99 studio albums plus non-album singles & compilation tracks. Many on vinyl for the very first time ever! Available as a 3LP box set (on black or colour vinyl) with extensive 16p booklet and heavyweight tip-on sleeves.

The Complete Budokan 1978 Bob Dylan (Columbia/ Legacy) released 17 November 2023

The Complete Budokan contains the only two complete shows of Dylan's performance on his first trip to Japan. The original 1978 At Budokan contains highlights from both shows, so this box is the first to present them in their entirety. The shows in question are 28 February 1978 and 1 March 1978. This means that some of the tracks have been previously released (on the aforementioned At Budokan). For those tracks that haven't been released, Columbia reissued those as well as the double album Another Budokan 1978 which can be looked at here.

Above are the cover and the back of this four disc box set. Below you can see each those without the wraparound obi. It must be noted that all the print, from the album title to the song titles are embossed. This is quite a classy package.

Below you can see the spines. The first shows you what it looks like with the obi in place.

This second photo shows you what is hidden by that obi.

I completely forgot to take a photo of the spine which has the English album title and artist on it!

The booklet is an album sized booklet that looks like the gatefold of the double album Another Budokan 1978. You can see the front, then a random page and then the back.

Then there is the album sized CD holder. You can see the front of it below, followed by gatefold and then the back of the holder. Like the box and like Another Budokan 1978, it is exceptionally glossy.

The next four photos show you the CDs, each one being unique.

The next thing we see is the Memorabilia book which holds a considerable amount of ephemera inside. You will see photos of the front, the gatefold and the back of the book.

First up is the Budokan concert flyer. You will see the front and the back. This is when Masterpieces, the three disc compilation was developed.

Then you will see the front and the back of the Advertisement Flyer (the front and the back):

The next piece of ephemera as the reproduction of the tickets you received at Budokan. Below are shots of two tickets, representing both nights, the front and the back.

Chances are good if you can't find your tickets in this package, you will want to flip through your Program as that is where they are hidden. You can see if below, both front and the back. (Remember in Japan you go from right to left in a book which means you start at what we Westerns consider the back first and work towards what we call the front.

The next two things inside that Memorabilia booklet are two posters. you will find them below.

This poster was found in the original Japanese version of At Budokan in 1978.

Last here is a close up fo the hype sticker found on the top photo in the lower right hand corner.

Cirith Ungol - King Of The Dead

https://www.discogs.com/release/10276929-Cirith-Ungol-King-Of-The-Dead

Man, I couldn't have asked for a better pick to start things off. If you have any interest at all in classic heavy metal, stop what you're doing and listen to Cirith Ungol. If you don't have any interest in classic heavy metal, stop what you're doing and listen to Cirith Ungol anyways. King of the Dead has it all: heavy riffs, tight leather pants, Michael Whelan art ripped straight off a Moorcock novel, Lord of the Rings references... what more could you want?

Cirith Ungol is one of those strange bands like The Scorpions that hustled all through the 70s but didn't really make a name for themselves until the 80s. Despite forming in '71 their first album didn't release until a decade later, followed up by King of the Dead in 1984. King of the Dead moves away from the proto-power-metal sounds of their debut and focuses in on slower Sabbathian riffs. There's a common argument floating around that King of the Dead is the first doom metal album, and while I'm not much of one to get mired in online debates about metal subgenres I will say that the title track makes a damn good argument for that classification. As a bassist myself, I'll also note that this album has some of the tastiest bass playing in heavy metal. Their bassist, simply known as Flint, takes the front stage of many tracks with punchy Rickenbacker tones and busy, melodic bass parts.

The copy I have here is the 2017 deluxe CD reissue on Metal Blade. They've done a nice job with this edition. I'm a known hater of the digipack but they picked one that's a bit heavier duty than most and has held up well, still looking fairly new 6 years later. The booklet includes track-by-track interviews with band members, a few collages of scanned-in ephemera, classic photos of the band, lyrics, and a good page of credits and recording info (often undervalued but infinitely useful for collectors/dorks like myself). This reissue features newly remastered audio, attempting to bring it back closer to the sound of the original 1984 Enigma release per the aforementioned helpful liner notes. I don't have an original LP or the '99 Metal Blade CD to compare to, but this one sounds pretty good for its age and fairly low budget (with the original recording being self-produced by the band). The ever-helpful dr.loudness-war.info provides an average dynamic range score of 10 for our version (pretty solid for the age and genre) with the '99 reissue clocking in at an 8 (for the socially well-adjusted people who don't obsess over this stuff: a higher DR number means loud parts are louder and quiet parts are quieter, evidence of less use of wideband compression during the mastering process and typically resulting in a more "musical" sound overall; google "loudness war" for more info on what this is and why it matters). The CD follows the main album up with a live cut from '84, a rare compilation track, and a few live tracks from the band's 2016 reunion. Nothing essential, but a nice selection of bonus material.

This edition comes with a live DVD of the band at The Roxy shortly before the album's release (recorded on 1/19/83 for those keeping score at home), preserved in authentic 1980s blur-o-vision. The DVD audio sounds like it was taken from the VHS tape rather than the soundboard, with the bass and kick drum often blowing out the rest of the mix. Overall it's a pretty rough watch, cool to see but I doubt I'll revisit it. I did enjoy watching their roadie cheesin next to the guitar amp the whole time, dude's just happy to be here. Same buddy, same.

I'm sure it's obvious at this point, but I absolutely adore this album. Cirith Ungol has soundtracked a hell of a lot of sessions of my old AD&D game and a hell of a lot of hours on the road back when I used to drive around putting up show flyers for a living. I don't plan to do numerical ratings on this blog, but I do give this a wholehearted endorsement for anyone looking to bring some classic 80s cheese into their life. Until next time, may your hair stay long and may your heavy metal Bach interpolations stay as tight as your pants.

Social Media Management as a student manager in the LEAP Student Engagement Department

Though the general job description for the Lourdes Events & Activities Planning committee prioritized coordination campus events, my supervisor quickly noticed my artistic talents from the many event posters I created to advertise our events and delegated social media management to me before I became the committee's student manager.

For these posts - flyers, videos, and student-perspective engagement - I primarily used the programs Canva, Picsart, and iMovie.

This TikTok I made on our student engagement TikTok account - and then reposted to Instagram - was meant to advertise new Lourdes University bandanas we were distributing with our campus spirit merch across campus. For the video, I used a then-trending sound ("woah") and used a combination of iMovie, TikTok, and CapCut to edit and compile the video.

These are some more Instagram posts I made for our page; I wanted our page to be colorful and eye-catching, so I made sure have a variety of colors and vivid photos. I also implemented QR codes in our posts because the main campus social media page was sharing our posts across campus - including on the television prompters! - and realized that event participation was likely to increase if interested students could register for these events the moment they see an advertisement that interests them.

The Best Tools for Content Creation

If you’re reading this, then you’re probably looking for some guidance on what the best tools are for content creation. Look no further! In this blog post, we’ll go over some of the best tools for content creation, so that you can make informed decisions about what to use for your next project.

First and foremost, it’s important to understand that there is no single “best” tool for content creation. The reality is that the best tool for the job will vary depending on the specific needs of your project. However, there are a few general categories of tools that are useful for most content creators.

In the realm of text editing, Microsoft Word is still king. It’s been around forever and has all the features you could possibly need for creating written content. If you need something a little more powerful (or if you just don’t like Microsoft Word), consider using Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress. These programs are designed specifically for laying out pages with text and graphics, and they can be a lifesaver when it comes time to create print materials like flyers or newsletters.

For visual content creation, Photoshop is still the program to beat. It has literally everything you need to create stunning graphics, from basic photo editing capabilities to complex drawing and painting tools. If Photoshop is outside your budget (or if you prefer open source software), GIMP is a great free alternative with many of the same features as Photoshop

Content Creation Tools

There are a number of tools available to help with content creation. These include word processors, text editors, and mind mapping tools.

Word processors such as Microsoft Word and Google Docs offer an easy way to create and format text.

Mind mapping tools such as FreeMind and MindMeister can be useful for brainstorming or organizing ideas.

The Best Tools for Content Creation

If you’re reading this, then you’re probably looking for some guidance on what the best tools are for content creation. Look no further! In this blog post, we’ll go over some of the best tools for content creation, so that you can make informed decisions about what to use for your next project.

First and foremost, it’s important to understand that there is no single “best” tool for content creation. The reality is that the best tool for the job will vary depending on the specific needs of your project. However, there are a few general categories of tools that are useful for most content creators.

In the realm of text editing, Microsoft Word is still king. It’s been around forever and has all the features you could possibly need for creating written content. If you need something a little more powerful (or if you just don’t like Microsoft Word), consider using Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress. These programs are designed specifically for laying out pages with text and graphics, and they can be a lifesaver when it comes time to create print materials like flyers or newsletters.

For visual content creation, Photoshop is still the program to beat. It has literally everything you need to create stunning graphics, from basic photo editing capabilities to complex drawing and painting tools. If Photoshop is outside your budget (or if you prefer open source software), GIMP is a great free alternative with many of the same features as Photoshop

Content Creation Tools

There are a number of tools available to help with content creation. These include word processors, text editors, and mind mapping tools.

Word processors such as Microsoft Word and Google Docs offer an easy way to create and format text. Text editors such as Sublime Text and Atom offer more control over formatting and can be helpful for working with code or creating richly formatted documents. Mind mapping tools such as FreeMind and MindMeister can be useful for brainstorming or organizing ideas.

Which tool you use will depend on your needs and preferences. experiment with different options to find the ones that work best for you.

The Best Content Creation Tools

The internet is a vast and ever-changing landscape, which can make it difficult to keep up with the latest content creation tools. This is why we’ve compiled a list of our favorite tools for content creation, so you can stay ahead of the curve.

For starters, consider using Google Docs for your writing needs. Not only is it free to use, but it also has a host of features that make writing easier, such as built-in spell check and automatic word count.

If you’re looking for something more robust, consider Scrivener or Ulysses. These paid programs offer additional features like project management and version control, making them ideal for larger projects.

Finally, no matter what tool you use, be sure to take advantage of social media platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn to promote your work – after all, what good is great content if no one sees it?

Free Content Creation Tools

Setting up a blog can be an overwhelming task if you don’t know where to start. If you’re looking for free content creation tools, there are many options available to help get your blog started.

One popular tool for creating blogs is WordPress. WordPress is a content management system that helps you easily create and manage your site’s content. There are thousands of themes and plugins available to help customize your site, and the platform is constantly being updated with new features.

An underground brutal death metal demo grail finally unearthed after 25 years rotting, we present ‘Prelude To Obscurity’! Hailing from Wisconsin in the shadow of the Milwaukee Metal Fest, Embalm formed in 1995 while in high school in the era of Ablated Records, Frozen Dawn CD compilations and IllNoiz Death Fest to name a few. Embalm created truly memorable grooves of mid-paced, catchy, and brutal as hell Midwest Death Metal, also including the customary influence of Swedish Death Metal and even touches of Dissection style harmony, setting this demo apart from any forced retro nostalgia. Despite staying local, Embalm was a part of a larger network and held their own supporting bands like Rotted, Internal Bleeding and Incantation. While this collection focuses on the masterwork and tragic final demo aptly titled ‘Prelude to Obscurity’, sicko freaks will be treated to the literally impossible to obtain first ‘Demo ’95’ as well, showing the most evil and grim basement necro recordings that, while primitive and cruel, still hold minimalistic memory of true underground demo cassette culture. Also included in a rare find are the two final live tracks that sadly never made it to the studio, written after ‘Prelude…’ and shows the band’s insane dual vocal/multi-lingual genius for darkness, slam and tortured leads. Painstakingly remastered from original DAT and cassette tapes by Arthur Rizk the collection includes a massive time capsule booklet of flyers, ephemera, zine reviews, and live photos from the bygone glory days of TRUE brutal death metal! A guidepost for any new band looking for a glimpse of time tested ‘brutal stuff’. A first time co-release between two modern underground titans, 20 buck Spin and Hospital Productions. #embalm #preludetoobscurity #20buckspin #metal #death #deathmetal #metalhead #metalmusic #metalvinyl #vinyl #vinyllover #vinylmusic #vinylcollector #vinylwrap #vinylcollection #vinylnation #vinylstore #grindpromotionrecords (presso Grindpromotion Records Hq) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoFjJD7IrKQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

thank you @kureally​!💛

pretty surprised that this isn’t one i’ve done already, but the day has come and i would invite you all to join me in delving into some photos of the canadian hockey spectacle known as travis konecny!

see here for other posts like this one! i am also taking requests for ‘em :)

this photo is a good one to start with, as it provides the essential information you need to understand travis konecny as a person. apparently his brother calls him a “city slicker,” but this is him in his true form - in camo, with fishing equipment and associated fish, looking objectively pretty fucking bad. the comment is from his teammate and certified best bud nolan patrick, who we will discuss more later. additionally, his instagram account no longer exists because he is diametrically opposed to having a social media presence, and throws his phone in an ontario lake for 4 months every offseason. presumably.

in addition to all of that, he is pretty fucking good at hockey. and yes, this is the same person as above, this time looking rather nice and representing the philadelphia flyers at this year’s all star game

(via @jakeoettinger​) from when he broke his tooth and we all were collectively screaming about it in our own unique ways until he got it fixed. this was right before the asg, and i remember the visceral fear that he might not do anything about it and we’d have to watch him do all the media stuff looking like a battle-scarred little rat. his fucking face, man

here he is, doing his very best impression of a cardboard cutout of himself. if you have any brain cells to spare, please send them philly-ward. this man is in dire need.

this is teeks with aforementioned Best Bud Nolan Patrick. this is a real photo of them at a real wedding (claude giroux’s, not their own), posted on nolan patrick’s real instagram, with the real caption “what a wedding date”. there is nothing else to be said.

although he is a great hockey player, tk has a reputation on the ice mainly for never shutting up. this is one of many instances of teeks running his little rodent mouth at the opposing team, and usually what he says makes little to no sense but we love to hear it anyway. the video of this is so delightful, i’d recommend giving it a watch

hockey talent must be inherent to the genome, as teeks is the second cousin of bo horvat (captain of the vancouver canucks). they are generally pretty different people but they look like two separate pieces of trash from the same dumpster here so… who’s to know?

(via @manybumblebees​) travis’ draft report listed him at 5′10, and he has continued to be recorded as such throughout his career. however, as just about  anyone with working eyesight will tell you, this is absolute fucking horseshit. oskar lindblom, with whom he is cellying here, is 6′1 for comparison. if that looks like a 3 inch height difference to you, i don’t know what to say 

5′10 or not, he is - by his own admission - a pretty small guy, so you think he’d generally try to avoid physical altercations, or mess with people his own size. on the contrary! here he is, having the time of his life messing with 6′3, 215lb mikhail sergachev (tk listed at 175lb). fuck it, ragdoll mode engaged.

i wasn’t kidding about the brain cells - how do you lose your shoes on a plane!!!

(via @gabelandeskog​) travis is the flyers’ “hockey is for everyone” ambassador this year, and this is him with pride tape on his stick for YCP warmies, which is like, real nice

can rats swim???

(via @chirpedtooth​) another thing of note is that he is like…. too small for nhl equipment apparently?? and so he tapes his sleeves with stupid fucking orange tape to make sure they don’t get in the way of his little raccoon appendages. whatever works, man

look at this fancy little child in his pea coat facing some adverse weather conditions!!! pre-2016 travis konecny is never not funny

(via @callejarnkrok​) despite his general shenanigans and tomfoolery, travis is perhaps a nice canadian boy at heart. here he is checking on nolan, who has been sidelined with a migraine disorder this season, at the team’s picture day. the more i think about it, the more this is unbearably fucking tender, actually. going to go lie down in a dark room about it. see y’all in a bit

this is his (nice? horrid? it’s up to you) little duck tattoo on his bicep. just thought this was important to include

this footage plagues my entire fucking existence. i measure my time in Before I First Witnessed This and After I First Witnessed This. it’s the last thing i think about at night and the first thing i think about every morning. and in between times, it frequently appears in my dreams. i cannot accurately verbalise how much i hate this

(via @for-that-cotton-candy​) just gently skating up to your pal,, hip-checking your bud to let him know that you’re there because he can only see you when he’s looking down,,,, just letting him know that you’re there and you love him a whole lot,,,,,,,, that’s hockey, baby

some would describe his face as “highly expressive” or “easy to read,” but i personally think “malleable” might be more appropriate. here he is 😛✌🏻ing with teammates travis sanheim and shane gostisbehere

(via @phillymyers​) is now a good time to mention that this little untoasted piece of bread didn’t know how to blow a kiss?

mandatory puppy photo!

(via @chirpedtooth​) literally no idea what the fuck is going on here, all i know is that he is wearing a pink scrunchie on his wrist, and that it is an awful lot to deal with

and that, my friends, is a brief introduction to travis konecny! i hope you enjoyed this in one way or another, and if you are currently thinking “i don’t get why everyone likes him” - just give it 3 weeks of mild to moderate exposure to tk content. you’ll see.

Nick Grimshaw looks back: ‘Rihanna, Kate, Naomi – Mum was never fazed by them. But she did lose it over Alan Titchmarsh’

The broadcaster and his mother recreate an old photo and recall their wild nights out together

Born in Oldham in 1984, Nick Grimshaw is a presenter best known for his time on BBC Radio 1, as well as his mischievous charm and A-list social circle. Starting his career as a runner for MTV, he went on to present T4, became a judge on the X Factor, hosted the Radio 1 Breakfast show and now has a culinary podcast, Dish. He lives with his fiance, the dancer Meshach Henry, in London with his two dogs. His memoir, Soft Lad, is out now.

Eileen

Nick always wanted to be the centre of attention, and was a very comical child. In that picture, he was probably eight, and it would have been Children In Need night. When that happened, my God, he made everyone sit down. He’d get you nuts, crisps and sweets, and you’d have to watch the whole lot. He’d get obsessed like that with everything – television, radio, music. There was a dog book fad, too. He knew off by heart every breed and he’d take it to church when we went to mass, hiding it inside the hymn book so nobody could see.

Nick’s talkative. It was like switching the light on in the morning, then it was all day, nonstop. He was known for it, and would get in trouble at school because of it. He knew from a young age that he wanted to get a job at Radio 1. He said: “That’s where I’m going to work” and his dad replied: “Mmm, you and a million other kids.” But Nick stuck by it.

As well as chatting, he was in a band, playing the cornet. It was terrible. When I’d get my friends round – there’s a group of nine of us, we call it Girls’ Night – Nick would worm his way in. The cornet would come out. Once or twice he’d say: “I don’t want you to look at me while I do it,” so he’d have his back to us. He was way out of tune and we’d be bursting not to laugh but his dad would say: “Brilliant! Fantastic!” He got thrown out of the band in the end and I had to try to talk them into letting him back in.

When he left home for university we thought we’d gone deaf because it was so quiet. His house was a dump. You’d wipe your feet when you came out – it was atrocious. Then he was off to London. He wouldn’t really tell me what was happening down there – he’d just say he was handing out flyers.

I didn’t see a lot of him back then, but sometimes he’d bring his friends up for Christmas. Nick asked if Amy Winehouse could come one year. I said: “Why?” He said: “Well, she’s got nowhere to go.” She didn’t come in the end, but I did speak to her when she rang the house phone.

Nick’s very thoughtful. Even more so as he’s got older. He’s grown up, and I now see him settled with Meshach, and they’re so lovely together. My friends all say I’m so lucky he wants to include me in everything he does. I’ve had some brilliant holidays with him, but when I visit him in London it’s always a bit full-on. I get there and he says: “Don’t worry, we’ll have a nice quiet weekend” but it never is. He’s bumping into people, or there’s a party and we’re not home until quarter to six the next morning. It’s exhausting, but I do think, you know what? While I’m fit and able to, I’m going to enjoy it.

Nick

That was the prime spot in our lounge. I was getting ready to watch the telly and cuddle with Eileen. The green mark on my hand was from painting – possibly a frog. My milk teeth hadn’t fallen out but my adult teeth started growing – so you can see a single fang in the picture. My family were like: “Oh that’s horrible! That’s so gross.” They used to call me Wolf Boy. How mean.

I was enjoying my life at this point. I loved primary school. It was in a bungalow, and it didn’t feel as if I was doing actual work, just running around seeing gerbils or a stray dog. We’d do skipping or play rounders or welly chucking. It was about this time that I got into Hardcore Ecstasy – a rave compilation that I loved. At secondary school I had friends but I was never in a clique or a gang, and I wonder if it’s because my reference points were off because of my older brother and sister’s influence. I was less excited about the Spice Girls because I was like: “Yeah, but have you heard the Slits?” Pretty annoying. I obviously also loved Girls’ Night.

I don’t know what it was about cities, but I always wanted to be somewhere bigger. I grew up in suburban Oldham and enjoyed the chaos of going to central Manchester. Once I realised I wanted to do radio, I knew I had to go to London. It seemed there was so much life for young people there versus being on my mum and dad’s watch, listening to wood pigeons and having a potato hash for tea. I wanted a racket.

I ended up meeting Mairead [Nash] and Tabitha [Denholm] from Queens of Noize when I was doing student radio. That night we went out together and didn’t come back for 24 hours. My friend Jenny dropped me off the next day at my parents’ and my dad was in the front garden. As the car pulled up he said: “Where the bloody hell have you been? Look at the bleeding state of you!” I looked straight ahead and said: “Drive on.” He chased me down the road with clippers and I hid at Jenny’s. London was such a big fast city, so the friends I made I bonded with quickly. When I was unemployed, me and Amy [Winehouse] would get drunk in the day in Camden, and Mairead and Tabitha really looked after me. Sadie [Frost], too.

When my dad died [in 2016], a family friend, Sarah, said to think of it as the start of a new sort of relationship with my mum. We could be adults together rather than mother and son. I was worried about her feeling alone after such a monumental change, but we ended up becoming good friends and she’d come out with me to parties, or we’d go away with Sadie’s family.

Mum was never fazed by any of my friends. Once I took her to a Stella McCartney fashion week dinner and everyone famous was there – Rihanna, Kate, Naomi. None of it bothered her, although it was good gossip for her when she got back home and could tell Girls’ Night how gorgeous they all were. That being said, she did lose it when she met Alan Titchmarsh. The night before, I’d taken her to DJ with me at one of [stylist and journalist] Katie Grand’s fashion parties and we ended up having a big night. I was so hungover the next day when we were supposed to go to the Chelsea flower show together, that we ended up getting drunk there to get over it. Then she saw Alan. She was like: Alan! Alan! Weak at the knees for Alan.

My mum has also been a victim of many pranks on the radio. Once Alan Carr called her and said he was a casting agent who wanted to know if she’d like to be Pauline Quirk’s mother in Broadchurch. Another time, I called and said I had all these demands for when I visited next: that I wanted a kilo of wheatgrass and an ostrich egg. It was so funny that we made a song on Radio 1 of my mum going “Wheatgrass?” over banging techno.

When I was younger, I’d call her when I needed something – and also because contractually you should ring your mum. Then I called her for pranks. Now I phone every day because I want to gossip or to hear her news. Even though I’ll keep taking her along to parties, my favourite thing is still staying at home watching telly with Eileen.
