#michelle gomez is a treasure

[hamburgerfacedmurderdog]

So I think it’s pretty obvious that I’m a pretty big Sandor clegane fan. That also extends to the actor Rory McCann. So, of course, I’ve scoured the internet for more of his works, of which there are quite a few hidden gems. My favorite however has to be a quaint little show called The Book Group. There are a few other stand outs in the show as well; Anne dudek, Ben Miller and Michelle Gomez (whom I love!) among them.

I am also a true crime junky or as some would say (me) a murderino. I first started listening to true crime podcasts when I was introduced to My Favorite Murder. I learned pretty quickly that one of the hosts, Karen kilgariff, is from my home county and that in fact her hometown murder that first gave her the true crime bug is the same as mine. (Polly claas who was from her hometown was found 30 miles north in my hometown).

But I digress…. Can you imagine how shocked and tickled I was to learn that my fave podcaster who is practically from my own hometown was in a tv show… in Glasgow Scotland (where I dream of one day going)…. With RORY FUCKING MCCANN!! SANDOR THE FUCKING HOUND CLEGANE!!! Where he plays the ever precious Kenny who is clean shaven, shy and awkward and just plain fucking adorable?!!!!

No I don’t think you can! Lol

Anyway excuse me while I go and rewatch the show on Tubi for free.

K bye ✌️

oh ah ok i wouldn't know where to hide my interest as well :/

It’s from the Boeing Boeing opening night after party, February 15th 2007. The woman hanging off Roger who we would all love to be is Michelle Gomez, who is a celestial body in her own right.

Happy birthday Mr. Allam!

[certified-diplodocus]

Apropos of that last post, this July I picked up a CD of Valhalla for £2 at an Oxfam’s (hurray!) and then at home discovered there was a Michelle Gomez in it. Here are some excerpts from her section of the Extras. Featuring

- michelle gomez’s native swedish accent - zygons that are coming - hand cream

Not featuring

- susannah york having far too much fun - david tennant’s eyebrows - sylvester mccoy’s lovely cashmere jumper

I strongly recommend it. It's by Mark Platt, author of Ghostlight and Spare Parts, and it has that same subtle brand of black comedy - the world may be falling in, but people are still people and by god they're going to find a management to complain to about it.

Trailer here.

Michelle Gomez is a treasure.

K-pop: quais foram os hits que marcaram 2020?

<span class="hidden">–</span>CAPRICHO/Sestini/Reprodução

2020 foi um ano e tanto para o BTS. Mesmo longe dos palcos e do seu público fiel, o grupo formado por Jin, Jimin, J-Hope, Suga, RM, V e Jungkook aproveitou o atual momento da pandemia de COVID-19 para criar o emocionante álbum BE, um retrato sincero e inspirador sobre tudo o que estamos vivendo. Entre inúmeros recordes, Dynamite, seu primeiro single em inglês, levou a melhor e conquistou a primeira posição na parada HOT 100 da Billboard.

O feito foi comemorado pelo fandom ARMY, que, logo depois presenciou uma segunda conquista do septeto no HOT 100 com Life Goes On. Ainda em em 2020, BTS lançou Map Of The Soul: 7, um resumo da sua trajetória ao longo de 7 anos, e também uma versão em japonês do mesmo disco. Para 2021, o grupo celebra sua primeira indicação em uma categoria musical no Grammy.

Monsta X abriu o coração no começo do ano com seu primeiro álbum em inglês, All About Luv. Com 7 faixas inéditas, o boy group rendeu até uma parceria com o rapper Pitbull. Depois, lançou o impecável Fatal Love, terceiro disco de carreira do grupo de seis membros. O single principal, Love Killa, foi uma verdadeira homenagem aos personagens mais insanos do cinema: filmes como Coringa, O Silêncio dos Inocentes, Psicopata Americano e Clube da Luta estão entre as referências escolhidas.

Unindo talento e muito estilo, Stray Kids fez sucesso com os singles Back Door e God’s Menu. Rompendo barreiras linguísticas, o grupo chamou atenção até do cantor brasileiro Michel Teló depois que o refrão de Ai se eu te pego foi cantado pelo líder do grupo, Bang Chan, durante uma live com os fãs. Ao tomar conhecimento, Michel Teló agradeceu o carinho do cantor coreano e deixou um convite para um possível feat! Será que vem aí?

O NCT reuniu todos os seus 23 integrantes para lançar dois álbuns em 2020. As unidades WayV, Dream, U e 127 agora estão juntas em RESONANCE, que ganhou um mv impecável combinando as faixas Make A Wish, 90’s Love, Work It e Raise the Roof.

Enquanto alguns dos membros do EXO estão em serviço militar obrigatório, outros estão se aventurando em projetos paralelos, como é o caso de KAI, que fez sua estreia solo através do álbum que leva como título seu próprio nome. O single Mmmh chegou ao topo do ranking de vendas do iTunes em 33 países logo em seu lançamento!

SuperM, que possui membros do SHINee, EXO e NCT, colocou no radar do pop o seu primeiro álbum completo de estúdio, Super One. O lançamento veio acompanhado dos mvs 100, Tiger Inside e ONE (Monster & Infinity).

Ainda entre os artistas da agência SM, a girl group Aespa, nova aposta do empresário Lee Soo-man, deu o que falar na sua estreia. Unindo avatares virtuais ao lado das integrantes reais, o grupo entregou Black Mamba e abriu as portas para o chamado SM Culture Universe, uma espécie de universo compartilhado que inclui grande parte dos artistas da gravadora.

Quem também celebrou em 2020 foi BoA, uma das maiores e mais importantes representantes do ritmo, que completou 20 anos de carreira e recebeu até um documentário especial em sua homenagem. A rainha do K-pop, como é conhecida, lançou o décimo álbum Better para comemorar.

Outro solista que se destacou foi Taemin. O cantor e dançarino do SHINee presenteou seus fãs com o disco Never Gonna Dance Again, dividido em duas partes. 

Hwasa, do MAMAMOO, continua arrancando elogios da crítica e reforçando sua autenticidade feminina. O single MARIA, por exemplo, conquistou a categoria Melhor Performance de Dança Solo no MAMA 2020.

Já a rapper JESSI colocou todo mundo para recriar desafios de dança no Tik Tok graças ao hit NUNU NANA. Ao lado de Hwasa, ela também esteve presente no Refund Sisters, um grupo feminino ambicioso que uniu quatro gerações de mulheres do K-pop. Juntas com Lee Hyori, de 41 anos, e Uhm Junghwa, de 51, o quarteto lançou o single autoexplicativo Don’t Touch Me, que foi uma das músicas mais tocadas da Coreia em 2020 e provou que não existe idade certa para ser uma diva do pop.

O fenômeno BLACKPINK entregou tudo o que os fãs esperaram por 4 anos em The Album, seu tão aguardado primeiro disco completo de estúdio(https://capricho.abril.com.br/entretenimento/blackpink-the-album-entrega-tudo-o-que-os-fas-esperaram-por-4-anos/). Apresentando os hits How You Like That, que explodiu em recordes no YouTube, Ice Cream, fofa parceria com a cantora Selena Gomez, e a contagiante Lovesick Girls,  as integrantes Lisa, Jisoo, Rosé e Jennie estão no topo da fama. A girl group também marcou presença no disco Chromatica, da cantora Lady Gaga, e estreou Light Up the Sky, um documentário intimista pela Netflix.

TWICE completou 2020 com mérito por More & More e Eyes Wide Open. E antes mesmo do ano terminar, a faixa inédita Cry For Me também ficou entre os assuntos mais comentados das redes sociais e ganhou um vídeo belíssimo.

LOONA continua fazendo barulho e conquistando aclamação internacional. O grupo formado por 12 integrantes teve uma boa recepção com os singles So What e Why Not?. Ocupando cada vez mais espaço longe de casa, LOONA liberou a colorida Star, versão em inglês para a faixa Voice.

Em I Trust, terceiro mini álbum do (G)I-DLE, ficou evidente que a girl group sabe explorar simbolismos e emoções. Em entrevista à CAPRICHO, as integrantes compartilharam o processo criativo por trás do single Oh My God e revelaram que a potência do grupo está na confiança, na amizade e no trabalho em equipe.

GFRIEND se jogou na era da discoteca em MAGO, uma das 11 faixas do álbum Walpurgis Night. Com direito a pista de dança completa, looks setentistas e muito brilho, as jovens se divertem em uma coreografia cheia de referências.

O EVERGLOW continua em alta e não deve sair tão cedo dos holofotes. Depois de estrear no ano passado e ter sido indicada como Melhor Novo Artista Feminino no MAMA, a girl group está de volta com o EP -77.82x-78.29. Para acompanhar o comeback, o single LA DI DA ganhou um mv repleto de cenas de ação.

Quem também merece menção honrosa é GOT7 pelo excelente álbum Breath of Love: Last Piece, e SEVENTEEN, com o sétimo mini álbum Heng:garæ. Ambos se apresentaram no palco do MAMA 2020 e levaram prêmios para casa.

Já nas estreias masculinas, o destaque ficou para TREASURE, novo nome da agência YG, que levou o título de Melhor Novo Artista Masculino no MAMA, e ENHYPEN, grupo formado através do reality idol I-LAND, e que teve a melhor estreia de álbum para um grupo novato de K-Pop em 2020.

Irene e Seulgi  brilharam juntas como a primeira subunidade do Red Velvet. A dupla conquistou o público com o videoclipe de Monster, single que apresentou uma sincronia única entre os passos de dança das cantoras. A obra faz parte do EP de mesmo nome.

Além de todos os artistas já citados, TXT, ITZY, STAYC, GHOST9, CRAVITY, WOODZ, Secret Number, Kim Woo Seok e muitos outros também se destacaram.

Entre os retornos mais esperados do ano, Wonho, ex-integrante do Monsta X, emocionou os fãs com seu debut solo. Longe da cena desde outubro de 2019, o cantor lançou o pré-single Losing You em agosto e, logo depois, deu início a sua nova jornada com Open Mind, presente no EP Love Synonym Pt.1: Right for Me.

Há mais de 10 anos na indústria, CL está pronta para lançar seu primeiro álbum solo, Alpha. Para aquecer o público, ela liberou WHA e 5 STAR, duas faixas distintas e superpoderosas.

E aí, qual foi o seu lançamento favorito em 2020?

Michelle Gomez is a treasure

heeeeeelp

[whoisundergroundman]

Underground Man Presents: 2017: A Musical Journey

Here it is. A playlist of 20 songs from 2017 and one deep cut from the late, legendary luminary, Tom Petty. Playlist is at the bottom of the post. 

White Reaper - Judy French

The world’s best American band? Have these dudes never heard of Bob Seger?

A Savage - Eyeballs

Guy from Parquet Courts made a good record. 

ShitKid - Sugar Town

ShitKid is funny and smart and should get bigger but who knows what will happen in this crazy, unpredictable cultural landscape.  

Phoenix - Fior Di Latte

Halle Berry’s character in Monster’s Ball should have listened to this song when she wanted to feeeeeel good. 

Alvvays - Lollipop (Ode To Jim)

I thought the verse was a little monotone at first but then I heard the chorus and was like wow what a great chorus.  

FUR - If You Know That I’m Lonely

Only a real cynical Cindy could dislike this tune. 

Strange Names - Into Me

Of all the albums coming out in 2018 I’m most excited about Strange Names’ sophomore release. This is the first single. 

Terror Watts - Tough Guy

I probably like this song because I too am a real tough guy.

Tim Darcy - Still Waking Up

This guy has some charisma. This song sounds like Roy Orbison. 

Shannon & the Clams - The Boy

I’ve seen so many bands fail miserably at trying to do what Shannon & the Clams does consistently and seemingly with ease. 

The Shins - Half a Million

I have a fever for the flavor of Ric Ocasek and this song is the cure for now. 

Curtis Harding - On And On

Curtis Harding can sing his ass off as evidenced by this catchy as hell pop/soul nugget. 

Japanese Breakfast - Boyish

At least some of this song seems to be about someone calling Michelle Zauner boyish and Michelle Zauner wanting that person to fuck off. 

Chemtrails - Deranged

This song is infectious and I can’t imagine anyone not liking it unless, before listening, someone told you that you should like it. 

Spoon - I Ain’t The One

If Spoon releases an album then they will probably be on my list. This is my favorite tune from Hot Thoughts.

St. Vincent - New York

Why wasn’t this the big crossover hit for St. Vincent? Or was it? Never heard it on a pop station so it seems not but she performed it on Ellen so maybe? Or did she play Los Ageless? New York is a good song.  

Sun Seeker - Sunny Day Girls

I went to see Sun Seeker by myself because no one else gave a shit. These guys would not sound at all out of place in the Elephant 6 Collective. 

Selena Gomez - Bad Liar

This might be the only big top 40 hit I really liked this year. There were others I enjoyed superficially but I actually sought this one out repeatedly af. 

Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings - Rumors

This is a posthumous release my friends. That means after humous. If you ever saw her live you know Sharon Jones was a serious force of nature on a stage. 

Angelic Milk - Rebel Black

I discovered PNKSLM records this year and they are a treasure trove of great young rock bands from all over the place. Angelic Milk might be the first Russian band I’ve ever gotten into. There’s no collusion people. 

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Change Of Heart

Petty had so many iconic tunes and that’s a fact Jack. This one could have been another Petty juggernaut but instead it’s a hidden gem on my favorite of his albums, Long After Dark. R.I.P. you beautiful blond bombshell. 

[dreameater1988]

Season 10 - the verdict

If you’re just reading this to pick a fight because your taste differs from mine, then I suggest you don’t read further. However, if you’re up for a civilized discussion and exchanged of opinions, then go ahead :) I’m certainly not one to critize just for the sake of complaining, but I’d like to express my views on the latest season that has let me down.

Season 10 has sort of disappointed me. I truly loved S7-9 and I think S9 with all the emotion and the complex plots and twists and cliffhangers and character depth was the best of New Who, so I already suspected that S10 wouldn’t be quite as good, but it was still a disappointment.

Let me start with Bill’s character. Even though I hated the short clip they showed us a year before the season aired, I came to like Bill. However, I think the writers didn’t do her justice at all. Compared to all the other (especially Moffat) companions her character seemed very flat and not well thought out. This might be because every episode was basically written by a different writer and it felt as if they hadn’t actually sat down together and discussed the episodes. Bill even seemed a bit out of character on occasions. For example, she is sometimes described by Twelve as having a temper, which, to me, only really shows when she shoots the Doctor in The Lie Of The Land without a warning. However, that seemed to come completely out of nowhere to me. There was no reason, no build-up and I refused to believe that Bill would actually shoot her friend on a whim, only to stand by and gawk two minutes later when it turned out he had fooled her the entire time. Where was her temper when she realized it was nothing but a show? Also, do we ever really get a reason as to why she travels with the Doctor at all? Amy ran away with her imaginary friend on her wedding night because she didn’t want to grow up. Clara wanted to see the world and was offered the chance at something even greater. From all three Moffat companions Bill is the only one that seems like a rough draft, not a finished product. I liked Bill, but this is the reason I never really got attached to her. I know that many people complained about it in previous seasons and maybe that’s the reason Moffat did it, but we got so know so much about Amy’s and especially Clara’s life and I realized that I actually really loved that about the show. I liked it when it was Amy Who and Clara Who. I would have loved to know why Bill is serving chips and is not enrolled in the university when she’s such a clever woman and eager student. To me it really felt as if Bill’s character was unfinished and inconsistent and maybe it was supposed to have that effect on viewers, but if that’s it, then I didn’t like it that much.

Which brings me to the topic of plots. I thought that the majority of episodes had real potential. The ideas, the sci-fi, all of that was a really good idea - and it fell short. I think S10 can most easily compared to a puzzle and each writer was in charge of one piece, but they didn’t all fit together in the end. There was a gap here and some overlapping there and it just didn’t create a harmonious whole. I can’t even really pick a favourite episode because there’s something bothering me about every single one of them, but if I had to, I’d pick Oxygen. Why? Because it was the only episode that surprised me. The plot twist of having the Doctor go blind was amazing! And that’s about it. I’ve made a post about this before, but it still bothers me that the majority of episode was very predictable. For example, in Smile we get told the problem and the solution before the opening credits. We see the robots going crazy, we see that the city is made of them. For me, the fun part of watching an episode is to discover things along with the Doctor and companion and it’s even more fun when I have to think about it after the episode ends or rewatch it to fully understand what was going on. I just always thought Moffat was at his best when he used complicated plot twists that took a while to sink in (UTL/BTF) or left it completely open (Listen) and you can disagree on that because it’s a matter of taste. I also loved the plot arcs that spread over several seasons before finally being truly revealed (the crack, the silence). I don’t watch a lot of TV because I get bored very easily when the plot is too predictable and so far I had always thought that DW was one of those shows that could keep me on my toes, but S10 was too see-through for my taste. Especially Smile, Thin Ice, Knock Knock, Extremis and the finale. A week before The Doctor Falls aired I made a post (I don’t know if it was on here or just Instagram and Twitter) saying that I wanted Missy to kill the Master because she’s siding with the Doctor and when I watched exactly that happen on screen I opened my mouth and was about to say “And now the Master needs to kill Missy to close the circle” when that happened as well.

Another matter is the same issue I’ve had with Bill’s character and that is how most of the plots seemed more like drafts than finished productions and were rushed into completion. The best example for that is the Monk Trilogy. Awesome idea, truly awesome idea, but again it fell short. It could have been a wonderful, emotional three parter with loads of sci-fi, action and drama, but it just came out. . . dull. I had been looking forward to The Lie Of The Land a lot because I love a good dystopia setting, but the entire episode was just rushed through and they didn’t get the feeling and emotion across at all. It was just one weird scene after the other felt like I was fast-forwarding through the story.

One thing that I’ve always loved about DW was the emotions it could trigger in me. I’ve cried my eyes out over so many sad and moving scenes that I’ve lost count and that effect doesn’t vanish no matter how often I re-watch it. But the way S10 was rushed didn’t really give me any chance to actually get emotional over anything. I felt detached not just from Bill, but from the Doctor as well. The more the season went on the less I was actually looking forward to new episodes and I’m afraid that process started during THORS. S9 is my favourite and Steven Moffat’s masterpiece Heaven Sent/Hell Bent is just unbeatable in my opinion. Of course it could only go backwards from there, but I had expected a bit more than what we got. I have many things to say about THORS and none of them are good because to me that plotless episode felt like a slap in the face after the marvellous, rich S9 and I’ve never really recovered from that.

I watched S10 for Peter Capaldi and for Michelle Gomez mainly because those two were just as amazing as before, but there have been moments when I wished I could just switch off and walk away. In my opinion, Steven Moffat should have quit after Hell Bent because it makes me sad to think that Peter’s and Michelle’s talents were wasted on such a mediocre season.

Another thing that bothers me a great deal is Bill’s ending and how most people on the internet reacted to it. I was very surprised to see that people loved it. I didn’t. I really didn’t. It doesn’t matter that she became like Heather and travelled the universe in this form, what matters to me is what happened before. I have always found the Cybermen to be the eeriest of DW monsters simply because of the way they are made and to have a companion, a friend of the Doctor, suffer that fate is terrible. Bill’s body was chopped up and thrown away, her consciousness put in a metal body while she was waiting for the Doctor to come and save her. She suffered in her Cyberman form up to the point that she basically asked the Doctor to end her existence before she keeled over and died. That is a good story, but it is NOT a good ending for a young woman like Bill. 

This post could be a lot longer because I have more to say about the season, but I think I’ll leave it here. This show has been my favourite since S7 and I will always treasure the seasons that we got up until 10. That is also why I’m definitely going to give the new Doctor a chance - whoever they are - but my excitement for the show has already died during THORS. I might love what comes after Peter, I might not, but I just don’t feel the same love for the show anymore than I’ve felt during S7-9.
