[nvm-illustration]

So here's a commissioned piece for Jimmy Broadbent's birthday from his partner Annie.. (Though he did get it early!)

If you don't know Jimmy or if you're not part of the sim racing community, Jimmy's story is somewhat incredible and I would highly suggest checking him out.

I've been a massive fan of Jimmer for a long while and the fact I got to make this for him is honestly incredible. In the same way that he's gone from racing virtually to competing in the 24 hours of the Nordschleife is incredible. I can't help but draw the comparison to myself, spending years drawing things that didn't bring me joy, that I found boring to then only within the last few years be able to take the plunge and express my love for motorsport in all of it's aspects (and showing results)

Absolute dream come true.

the magical thing about f1 is that the drivers on track take themselves seriously but anywhere else and they're all just chilling 😭 was watching a Jimmy Broadbent sim racing video with Max in it, and max sounds like any other shit talking gamer, you'd never guess he drove in f1

literally it’s so fucking funny. max verstappen can and will kick everyone’s ass on track, curse you out over the radio and maybe beat you up in the garage after if your name is esteban ocon. but he uses his championship trophies to prop up christmas cards and lives in fear of his cats destroying his apartment. duality of man.

Thomas Andrew Felton (born 22 September 1987) is an English actor, who is best known for his portrayal of Draco Malfoy in every film in the Harry Potter film series.

Born in Epsom, Surrey, he grew up in Epsom with his mother, Sharon, his father, Peter, and his three older siblings, Jonathan, Ashley and Chris. Felton.

In 2022 he directed the premiere of the film Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.

On 13 October 2022, his memoir Beyond the Wand - The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard was released.

Felton attended Howard of Effingham School until May of 2004.

Felton's favourite car brand is BMW.

Felton listens to rap and hip-hop music.

Felton visits St Lawrence in New York almost annually to compete in the Carping Competition.[citation needed]

Felton currently has music videos on YouTube, under the account "feltbeats", featuring him singing and playing guitar. His songs can also be bought on the iTunes Store and Amazon.com.

Felton also appeared on Eight Out of Ten Cats, a comedy panel show about public opinion, news and statistics. It was during this appearance that host, Jimmy Carr, treated him in a comedically patronising manner, (due to his being noticeably younger than the other panellists), particularly at his excitement about the at-the-time new Transformers film.

Felton was the first of several actors from The Borrowers to appear in the Harry Potter films; others include Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley) and Jim Broadbent (Horace Slughorn).

Felton's real-life ex-girlfriend Jade Olivia plays his on-screen wife Astoria Greengrass in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.

Felton's real hair colour is a dark blond and he has, to date (December 2010), dyed his hair 18 times for the films.

Felton is one of the thirteen actors to appear in all eight Harry Potter films.

Felton's co-star and on-screen enemy Emma Watson had a crush on Tom in the earlier films.

Felton was sorted into Gryffindor on Pottermore rather than Slytherin, the house of Draco Malfoy and the one he had personally identified with. Series author J. K. Rowling agreed with this sorting, however, noting that she "could've told [Tom] that years ago".

Felton has acted alongside both Fiennes brothers - Ralph Fiennes in the Harry Potter films, and Joseph Fiennes in the 2016 film Risen.

Felton's role as Julian Albert/Dr Alchemy on "The Flash" also referenced his role as Draco due to the Philosopher's Stone, which the main villain Savitar relied on, as that was also his first movie.

Emma Watson penned the foreword to Felton's memoir, Beyond the Wand - The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard .

"get to know people better" tag game! (thanks @neonsnailcity for the tag!! :D )

3 ships: see i could do a joke here and list three boats, but unfortunately i don't know any well enough for that. HMS Beagle. that's all i got. okay, anyway:

Mohwee / Oeca (Outsiders SMP -- i've been thinking about them constantly for the past like seventy-hours. is it the height of romance to decide that you can and should be the only one who gets to witness your friend-rival's death. to come staggering out a death trap covered in blood and missing an eye and immediately start screaming at everyone for mistreating your rival-friend who left you to die. to go running off into the woods on a stormy night to have a conversation that is so completely just for the two of you that even the medium in which your story is told keeps that secret for you. the correct answer is yes.)

fWhip / Pix (Empires SMP season 1 -- what if they were both in love with Jimmy Solidarity and never breathed a fucking word about it to anyone but each other. that thing where you both know the other person isn't actually who you want but they're the only one who gets it and it's better than nothing and the weight of this terrible secret is just the slightest bit lighter when you're together.)

Martyn / Scott (Life Series -- based on what i've posted on ao3, i am kind of obligated to put these guys on the list. every time i think i'm done thinking about them i get suckerpunched by another thought about them.)

1st ever ship: hm. earliest one i have record of is Lucy Carlyle / Anthony Lockwood from the Lockwood & Co. book series!

last song: according to spotify, "Slide it in" by Jack Broadbent. according to me, "Through the Leaves" by Alan Gogoll.

last film: oh no. uhhhhhh it might still be Bones and All, which i watched back in august and have definitely mentioned in a different tag game before.

currently reading: um. Synaptic by Alison Calder, which is a poetry collection i'm very slowly working my way through. also kind of the 2023 Griffin Poetry Prize anthology? sometimes i just go, "i want a poem," and open that to a random page.

currently watching: owengejuice's twenty-one hour video of the entirety of outsiders smp! i'm on hour three and a half :]

currently consuming: ...water? i just had some cantaloupe like an hour ago?

currently craving: a fucking nap.

tagging: @cohnal @qu-ilinn @ciaran and of course if you see this and want to do it but weren't tagged, feel free to pretend i tagged you o7

ALMOST LIVESTREAM: MIKI YAMANAKA with Adam O’Farill, Caroline Davis, Pablo Menares, and Kush Abadey, SMALL’S JAZZ CLUB, 31 AUGUST 2024, 6 pm set

MIKI YAMANAKA usually plays trio and late and with husband Jimmy Macbride on drums. Here she was with horns (she was fangirling over playing with Adam O’Farrill but I was intrigued to see alto saxophonist Caroline Davis) and Melissa Aldana’s rhythm section. So this was an intriguing gig for the ways the differences would illuminate what I know and like of her playing.

She is above all a leader with an approach—smart, modern but with a firm grounding in the hard bop and beyond world. She plays Jaki Byard’s Mrs Parker of KC regularly and here gave room for the horns to explore while digging in herself for a robust and vigorous solo. She’s right that O’Farrill is a worthy player drawing on the likes of Roy Hargrove and Woody Shaw (though I know them poorly and indeed trumpeters in general), I bet. That is, melodic with a comfortable tone but adventurous. Still it was Davis’ sinuous linear playing that grabbed me with its invention and drive.

Having a bigger band showcased Yamanaka’s big ears as an accompanist. She didn’t have to be as big in the ensembles while still turning it up in her solos. Jimmy Macbride is a wonderful trio drummer though he has played band gigs without her and acquits himself well. Kush Abadey is so tasteful and sympathetic with Aldana, so it’s not like he is overpowering. He and Pablo Menares were both in a bigger context than they usually are, not just the second horn but her big piano instead of a guitar. But everybody is a pro here and all took advantage of the musical opportunities.

She once again covered Patrice Rushen whom she charmingly doesn’t know. Perhaps this band and this earlier time prompted her to play more of her own tunes which have enough for everyone to chew on and probably do benefit from having horns. Still she plays at least one a set and I recognized more than one title.

Miki Yamanaka is getting up there with Ari Hoenig and Alan Broadbent whose regular gigs are can’t miss. So I would have caught even “just a usual” set. But I’m glad to have seen these other sides of her.

Improvement Later in Life

Highly recommend just letting this roll in the background during the day. It's fucking tremendous. Just fucking tremendous.

Specifically, the guitarist Anthony Wilson and the bassist Bob Hurst. I've had the pleasure of meeting Bob Hurst back in the day, and he's just awesome. I'm not sure if he's still the head of the jazz department at Michigan, but I'm pretty sure he at least still teaches bass there.

Wilson...trust me, there's gonna be more on him coming. I just need to listen more. He's fucking unbelievable.

But this post is about Diana Krall.

Krall has somewhat of a mixed reputation in the jazz world...that actually should've said "had" because she's done an increidble amount of work to successfully shut people up over the years. Will she ever be confused for Keith Jarrett? No. Will she ever be confused for Ella Fitzgerald? No*.

*There's a woman I've been listening to named Marina Pacowski, who is a classically trained pianist and unbelievable singer tho that can kinda live up to that. She's great too.

But I've been listening to Krall's stuff the past two weeks and her improvement over the years is shocking. She's been a "jazz star" for decades now...and it actually feels silly putting that in quotes, considering she's one of the few jazz musicians that can pack theaters and large halls year after year after year.

If there were any complaints about the quality of her musicianship, there have never been any of those levied towards her work as a bandleader...which has been exceptional since day 1. Her band is one of the jazz guitar's coveted positions...steady, high profile and well paying. It's no coincidence that she's had Wilson (at top) and Russell Malone (below) as her second in command since the turn of the century.

But this post isn't about guitarists...it's about Krall's steady, consistent improvement in her own skillset.

Below I'm going to queue these two videos up to one her her solos...one from 1996 and the other from 2022. Just listen to how much she's improved over these years, and how much more advanced her melodic playing is now than it was back then.

We're talking an already established music star back in 1996. She's already packing theaters at this point...she didn't really have to put in the work. But once you compare the two, you'll see she absolutely did, and continues to do so.

The 2022 example, I actually started a bit earlier. Pay attention to her comping. She has been putting in the hours and sounds like goddamned McCoy Tyner backing up Coltrane. Fuck yes.

In the 2022 example, Wilson lays down just a goddamned great solo...something great enough that it'd take something extra to follow that shit up. If you listened to her critics, you'd think her take might be a let down...

Instead they kick it into double time, and she just RIPS. No qualifiers, no "she's a better bandleader than musician" backhanded compliments...just a ripping solo in the pocket the entire time. 4:00-5:16 is straight up owning it.

She's been working for years with teachers Alan Broadbent and Jimmy Rowles, and...I mean, shit...it's pretty obvious the improvement's been significant. It's not like she was bad before...it's just now she's a pianist that's really got a whole lot working, adding another dimension to a musical recipe that's been packing houses for decades now.

It's really incredible shit to see someone hit the ground running at the beginning of their career, refuse to rest on their laurels, and despite already being at the top of their profession, they continue to grind and work and get better.

You do see this typically with psychos that are hardwired to keep pushing themselves. People who started early on and don't understand anything more than putting the pedal to the metal. But for someone later in life, who already had an established working career, to put that work in and watch it pay off is fucking great. It's inspiring as hell.

You want to know why she always has the best bands? It's not because she's a premier virtuoso...it's because she's leading the band, doing arrangements, singing, and still putting in the practice to become more dynamic, a more able musician. Like I said, it's inspiring as hell.

MCU Shang-Chi movie fancast

Been wanting to make this, especially considering my username. So...here we go.

1) Tiger Chen as Shang-Chi (going with a lesser-known actor, give him the MCU boost)

2) Yuen Wah as Zheng Zu, Shang-Chi’s father and the main antagonist of the movie. In this version, he is a powerful mobster that rules over the criminal undergrounds all over East Asia and Southeast Asia (so...Kingpin, but way more powerful). 

Also, he’s not referred to as “Fu Manchu” for obvious reasons.

3) Jiang Wen as Zheng Zu’s wise brother and Shang-Chi’s father figure. He gets the “tragic death at the hands of the villain, inspiring the main protagonist to rise up and take revenge”.

4) Jim Broadbent as Sir Denis Nayland Smith, Zheng Zu’s nemesis and the leader of the MI6 team investigating his activities. He ends up recruiting Shang-Chi when they realize their goals match.

5) Awkwafina as Fah Lo Suee, a spoiled, wealthy businesswoman and Zheng Zu’s daughter / Shang-Chi’s half-sister. She’s the secondary antagonist of the movie.

(with this description, I like to think she’s playing an evil version of her character from Crazy Rich Asians here) 

6) Henry Cavill as “Black” Jack Tarr, a MI6 agent who becomes Shang-Chi’s best friend / sidekick

7) Katie Leung as Leiko Wu, a former SHIELD agent who reluctantly works with MI6. She is Shang-Chi’s main love interest. 

8) Jimmy Akingbola as M’Nai / Midnight, a Wakandan exile who was adopted and raised by Zheng Zu as Shang-Chi and Fah Lo Suee’s brother.

9) Iko Uwais as Shen Kuei / The Cat, a mercenary and Shang-Chi’s main rival / occasional ally. He’s not a villain but does have a rivalry with Shang-Chi over who is the better martial artist between them.

10) Yayan Ruhian, Brandon Vera, Julie Estelle, and Tsuyoshi Ihara as Zheng Zu’s lieutenants. They all have a badass fight scene with Shang-Chi and friends (think of them as “boss fights”). 

11) Ali Wong appears as one of Shang-Chi’s friends who tags along with him once he goes after Zheng Zu. Basically, the movie’s comic relief character.

12) Donnie Yen appears in the minor role of Tiger Claw, Zheng Zu’s closest lieutenant and the leader of the Si-Fan, an ancient secret society that controls all of Asia. He takes over Zheng Zu’s criminal empire after Zheng Zu’s defeat. 

His role is minor here because he’ll be the main villain of Shang-Chi 2. 

13) Brie Larson cameos as Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel in the post-credits scene, where she approaches Shang-Chi for a position in the New Avengers.
