an album you can’t stop listening to lately

My quintessential (and epic!) Ghostbur playlist? :0 Haven’t been super into any albums lately, but I’ve been thinking about the playlist a lot. It isn’t quite ready to be shared but here is my general Ghostbur playlist :)

And one song from the quintessential playlist:

a song you really like by an artist you otherwise don’t listen to very much (whether that’s because you usually don’t like their music, or just because you haven’t listened to the rest yet)

Oh, so many!! I shall give three examples :)

When My Parents Cry by Ricky Jamaraz

Really really deep & emotional song, big fan! I’ve only listened to one or two other songs by this artist, but from what I can tell, he’s a good one.

Float by KT Tunstall

WHO WAS GOING TO TELL ME THAT THE MUSIC IN TINKERBELL LEGEND OF THE NEVERBEAST WAS SO FREAKING GOOD?? HEY???

Immortals by Fall Out Boy

I know this band is Wildly successful and super popular but this is legitimately the only song I know & listen to by them <3

name an artist/band that isn’t touring at the moment who you’d really like to see in concert

AJR!!! AGAIN!!! I saw them last year but they’re really the kind of band where like. simply once isn’t enough. One billion shows and I might be satisfied.

name a musician who is no longer living who you wish you could see in concert

This is a good question, but to be perfectly honest nearly all of my favorite songs & artists were made fairly recently, which means not many of them are quite dead. But I might say… The Beatles? But technically not every member is dead… BUT they haven’t been a band in decades so. sorta counts. Hey Jude and You Really Got a Hold On Me are extremely good and hearing them live would’ve been so neat!

if you could hear any album performed live in its entirety, which would it be?

MMMMM. OKAY.

Neatheater would be so freaking. Everything. Y’know? The opening song Sounds like an opening song and the closing song Sounds like a finale and hearing everything that comes in between and just !!!! Also Living Room, OK Orchestra, The Click, The Maybe Man… every album that AJR has ever made has been super special to me, and I would be very very happified if I could see the album In Person—yes, even Living Room! Such an underrated album, but so dang good.

Also Headspace by Emma Hamel! She has such a pretty voice, such emotional lyrics, and this album in particular was incredibly meaningful to me around the time it released, because of certain things I was going through and experiencing. It would be absolutely special to hear it in person <3

if you could go back in time and attend any artist/band’s concert that you were unable to attend, who would it be and when?

OK Orchestra tour!!! I wasn’t into AJR enough at that time to have wanted to go, but oh. Gosh I wish I could go Now.

what is a song that you like, but that you don’t listen to very often?

Very difficult question, because if I like a song I make a point to listen to it very often! There’s extremely few songs that I enjoy and haven’t heard many times. But let me search my spotify for a minute.

OH I FOUND ONE!

Privately Owned Spiral Galaxy is a song I continuously. forget. that Lovejoy did which is BAFFLING to me because I really do like that band! I listen to all the rest of their music very much! And I do like this song! But for some reason I don’t remember it very often.

name a song that you wish was longer

HMMMMMM.

I looked through my Ghostbur playlist because TBH!! I will probably wish that anything having to do with Ghostbur is longer. And this track is incredibly Ghostbur New L’manburg vibes. And also this track is just Genuinely good!!

name a song (or a few songs) that would need to be included in a movie about your life

AJR’s entire discography. I am not really joking.

But also definitely some Emma Hamel songs!

The time I discovered this album was such an important and really really painful part of my life; these songs are very meaningful to me. I related to them Hard when I discovered them, especially the first two, and I relate to them Hard today.

name an album you really love that you haven’t listened to in awhile

How about Badlands by Halsey? Going with something a bit different than AJR (although I would like to relisten to Neotheater). I listened to this one for the first and only time about a year or two ago and had mixed opinions, but the more I’ve thought about it, the more it’s grown on me! I like Halsey’s voice a lot, and I think the topics she writes about are fascinating.

Suzanne Somers, of ‘Three’s Company,’ dies at 76

LOS ANGELES

Suzanne Somers, the effervescent blonde actor known for playing Chrissy Snow on the television show “Three’s Company�� as well as her business endeavors, has died. She was 76.

Somers had breast cancer for over 23 years and died Sunday morning, her family said in a statement provided by her longtime publicist, R. Couri Hay. Her husband Alan Hamel, her son Bruce and other immediate family were with her in Palm Springs, California.

“Her family was gathered to celebrate her 77th birthday on October 16th,” the statement read. “Instead, they will celebrate her extraordinary life, and want to thank her millions of fans and followers who loved her dearly.”

In July, Somers shared on Instagram that her breast cancer had returned.

“Like any cancer patient, when you get that dreaded, ‘It’s back’ you get a pit in your stomach. Then I put on my battle gear and go to war," she told Entertainment Tonight at the time. "This is familiar battleground for me and I’m very tough.”

She was first diagnosed in 2000, and also had skin cancer. She faced some backlash for her reliance on what she's described as a chemical-free and organic lifestyle to combat the cancers. She argued against the use of chemotherapy, in books and on platforms like “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” which drew criticism from the American Cancer Society.

Somers was born in 1946 in San Bruno, California, to a gardener father and a medical secretary mother. She began acting in the late 1960s, playing the blonde driving the white Thunderbird in George Lucas’s 1973 film “American Graffiti.” Her only line was mouthing the words “I love you” to Richard Dreyfuss’s character.

At her audition, Lucas just asked her if she could drive. She later said that moment “changed her life forever.”

Somers would later stage a one-woman Broadway show entitled “The Blonde in the Thunderbird,” which drew largely scathing reviews.

She appeared in many television shows in the 1970s, including “The Rockford Files,” “Magnum Force” and “The Six Million Dollar Man,” but her most famous part came with “Three’s Company,” which aired on ABC from 1977 to 1984 — though her participation ended in 1981.

On “Three’s Company,” she was the ditzy blonde opposite John Ritter and Joyce DeWitt in the roommate comedy. In 1980, after four seasons, she asked for a raise from $30,000 an episode to $150,000 an episode, which would have been comparable to what Ritter was getting paid. Hamel, a former television producer, had encouraged the ask.

“The show’s response was, ‘Who do you think you are?’” Somers told People in 2020. “They said, ‘John Ritter is the star.’”

She was soon fired and her character was replaced by two different roommates for the remaining years the show aired. It also led to a rift with her co-stars; They didn’t speak for many years. Somers did reconcile with Ritter before his death, and then with DeWitt on her online talk show.

But Somers took the break as an opportunity to pursue new avenues, including a Las Vegas act, writing books, hosting a talk show and becoming an entrepreneur. In the 1990s, she also became the spokesperson for the “Thighmaster.”

Somers returned to network television in the 1990s, most famously on “Step by Step,” which aired on ABC’s youth-targeted TGIF lineup. The network also aired a biopic of her life, starring her, called “Keeping Secrets.”

Would you look at two of my four blond angels working together like this? The Trails-Sagas continuity is such a blessing ♥ Without it, we would have never been able to see my dear Tita grow up into such a beautiful young woman an work together with my dear Alisa, who also has become such a beauty over time. Not to mention that we will be able to see or hear if/how their relationships with certain people may or may mot have grown in future games. Fingers crossed.

CS4 made sure you see Schmidts good side, even if it is a bit uh... less obvious to see then with other characters. But this line is just him telling Crow to come back, even tho that should technically speaking not be possible.

Even when I am on a schedule I usually do this mission. Because it just feels wrong to leave this situation be after everything we have been through with those two. The game also makes sure time and time again that you see Alan and his situation and it gives you an even bigger sense of urgency and importance.

I DO absolutely understand Rennes position, but I still wish she will at some point just be honest with her family. I mean, I am pretty sure they got it by now and just accept that Renne doesn’t want to talk about it, but it still would be nice for her to at least be: “Hey. I am your missing daughter. Lets leave the past in the past tho and live in there here and now instead”, because I totally understand that talking about her past would be... causing a lot more problems then one wanted to when finally reunited with their family. But I guess we do still have time for this to happen eventually.

The game makes sure that whenever you return to hamel, you suffer. This is a hidden sidequest, however, the ending of this quest is worth all the pain, that is why I am doing it despite the time-limit.

I wonder if Falcoms people thought: “Hm... this might be the last time we can visit Hamel... how do we make it as cruel and painful as possible and yet very rewarding in the end?” XD

It was truly a great reward for getting through the painfulness that is Hamel one last time.

I’ve done them all last time and I can tell you that there is no benefit whatsoever aside from some nice moments/scenes if you finish them all. You will see the bad ending even if you have the earthen cage already and it takes a lot less time to get the earthen cage after the bad ending, then actually finishing all sidequest and getting the earthen cage before the bad ending. So... no more sidequests for me.

Did you know that while a certain part of the church is taking part in Mille Mirage, Ein is actually supporting operation shining Steel? Add her to those “3 more monsters” and I don’t know why we are even worried about possible losing that battle? XD

Uh... was that here in my last NG+ Game too? ^^’ I guess that means we could... you know... skip a step or two and maybe do avoid the bad ending for once? (And here I was, looking forward to crying to Ai no Uta XD)

Edit: I just noticed that it could not have been there in my last NG+ game, because there I did all the side- and hidden missions and thus had defeated the dragon already and came into the position of the earthen cage before I even go to the fortress. So there was literally no need for that thing to be there then - and yet I had to watch the bad ending.

Edit 2: Ups. Its the earthen prison. I don’t know why I remember it as the earthen cage...

The voice speaking is said to be the grandmasters. Makes you wonder why it makes Rean feel nostalgic. As far as we know, he never heard her voice before...

You can say what you want about Claire and Lechter but I always liked them (tho I do prever NOT seeing Lechter in a Hawaiian-Shirt... XD) because in a sense, that they stayed true to their path, even when it hurt them, was also a kind of strength. But despite that, they also caved in, when necessary and showed us that they do have a good heart deep down. Obviously, they are traitors too in a sense, but with them, I do feel they deserved their second chance more than certain other characters. One could argue about that, but isn’t it the same with all our traitors? With Crow, a lot of people say that he had the right to do what he did as C because of his oh-so-tragic past. But people often overlook that he didn’t just try to kill Osborne who may or may not arguably had deserved it, he risked the lived of MANY innocent people in the process of his revenge and while he was doing it, he wasn’t showing much remorse or regret. Even more so, he didn’t even fully stop being an enemy even tho Osborne was dead and his revenge should have been over. With George many people (including my dear Olivert) believe that him showing weakness and thus enabling the possibility of Olivert and his Crew surviving was enough to redeem him, even tho he only paid justice to feeling guilty and the time he offered the Courageous would have been for naught if not for Victors sacrifice and Bs magical intervention and even then people got badly injured in the process. If Victor hasn’t sacrificed his arm and if B didn’t intervene they would all have died despite Georges little stunt. Arios, even tho not being the murderer himself, has backed up the man who murdered his best friend in cold blood with a shot in the head from behind. Yes, he felt guilty enough about it to feel like he murdered him himself, but he didn’t feel guilty enough about it to actually reveal his true murderer, not even when he saw that guys beloved little brother was suffering. Cedric has been called a terrorist himself who deserved a dead sentence for supporting Osborne in starting the war and being part of this mess. But why is he different from Crow who everyone loves? Or George who everyone has forgiven so easily? Or Arios who people still find so damn cool? Is the fact that he was a sickly and weak prince always in the shadows of his stronger and more charismatic siblings not sad enough of a background story? Was the fact that the curse would have killed this young character who is basically still more a child then a man if he hadn’t given in to it not enough reason to give in to it? In all of the storys above there is A LOT of egoism involved. Revenge. The want and need for power and strength. The desperation of struggling to finding ones own path. Curses, manipulations, brainwashing and trauma. And they all had their good and weak moments at some point. They all felt guilty about what they did and said so out lout at one point. They all have been understanding of their mistakes and that they deserve punishment or don’t deserve their position/social standing. So this is the reason, why at the end of the day, when it comes down to it, who is a traitor you will forgive and who is one you won’t forgive, comes down to how much you like a character. It makes us all a bit of hypocrites I guess, especially seeing how we love and support former Jaegers who killed countless of people. But as it comes down to our personal opinions, I guess at the end of the day we are all entitled to have them to some degree. What I do not like tho, is when their sins are whitewashed. Crow shot a man in the heart, point. It was murder. He risked many innocent lives while doing it. He could have missed and shot someone else, for example. There was a huge Crowd there back then. He let comrade G run into his certain death, even tho he was his comrade. He risked the safety of plenty innocent people when he allowed that stunt in Garrelia Fortress. Even if he had always planned for Class7 to stop it, if anything would have gone wrong, Crossbell and with it Zemurias biggest Leaders (including my Olivert!) and people like his beloved Towa would have been dead. That is not something to play down. Not something to fully excuse. They did some real bad shit and thats not okay, no matter what. And yes, the same goes for Cedric. He allowed that his very own father was almost shot to death, he allowed his brother to be blown up, his sister and mother treated as hostages, he almost killed the big leaders of Zemuria and their only hope of salvation too. He was supporting a plan that could have meant the end of the world and the reason behind it was ultimately his own weakness. You can make excuses for that, but that doesn’t make it right or undone. When the times comes, he as to come face to face with what he had done and apologize to his family and prove himself to Erebonia and thank Shirley for not just putting up with him the whole time, but also getting him were he wanted to be in a way that is uncharacteristically selfless of her. But I do hope we get there eventually.

So... but before we deal with our treacherous prince and our bloody Shirley, I have to take a break. Its hot and the pool is crying my name XD

See Suzanne Somers' Rare Photo of Her Granddaughter Looking Like Her Twin

Whether she was making people laugh on Three's Company in the 1970s, selling ThighMasters in the 1980s, or winning over a new generation on Step by Step in the 1990s, Suzanne Somers has been a staple of televisions nationwide for more than four decades. These days, she's selling a wide range of organic products for everything from your hair to your stomach that promote anti-aging and wellness. Just this week, Somers showed off her fit physique in a photo with her 25-year-old granddaughter and fellow actor Camelia Somers.

These famous ladies over 70 sizzle in swimwear

Suzanne Somers and her granddaughter looked like twins in her Instagram post.

This week, Suzanne posted a photo on Instagram of herself standing side by side with her granddaughter Camelia. In the picture, both women are wearing denim shorts, black belts, and fuzzy shoes, and the resemblance is uncanny.

The 74-year-old actor captioned the picture: "Who wears short shorts? Twinning with my granddaughter @cameliasomers! I have always told the kids, 'I'm a different kind of grandmother!'"

Camelia, who currently stars on the soap opear The Bold and the Beautiful, shared the photo to her Instagram account a few days earlier, too. "Didn't expect to twin with my grandma when I threw on these shorts this morning," the younger Somers captioned the post. "SHE'S HOT!!!!"

Suzanne has two other granddaughters.

Suzanne is also the grandmother to Violet Somers, 18, and Daisy Hamel-Buffa, 26. Camelia and Violet are the daughters of Suzanne's only son, Bruce Somers. And Daisy is Suzanne's husband, Alan Hamel's, granddaughter via his first marriage to Marilyn Hamel. A couple of years ago, Camelia posted this rare photo on Instagram with both Violet and Daisy and their grandma hanging out by the pool.

Both Camelia and Violet have appeared on Suzanne's Instagram video series, promoting the actor's organic products. Meanwhile, Daisy makes her own clothes under the brand Daisy World, which the proud grandmother has also promoted on her Instagram.

Suzanne has said she loves getting older and feels sexier than ever.

In June 2020, Suzanne told People, "We don't have to fall apart as we age. One thing I love about aging—and I do love aging—I've got a wisdom that no young person can buy. You earn it."

Suzanne also spoke with ABC News' Abbie Boudreau for a Good Morning America interview in Jan. 2020, and said she's feeling sexier than ever. "I feel sexy. And maybe—maybe I feel sexier because I'm in my stuff. I know who I am."

And for another famous face who's frank about sex and aging, Paulina Porizkova Says This Is the "Recipe for Great Sex" in Your 50s.

She's even stripped down on Instagram a couple of times before.

Recently, on Earth Day, which fell on Apr. 22 this year, Suzanne took to social media to celebrate. She posted a naked photograph of herself kneeling in a field of grass and covering up her body, while smiling at the camera. "I love the earth," she wrote alongside the photo. "I choose organic and toxic-free whenever possible because I know it's better for me… and better for her! Happy Earth Day."  

Suzanne previously shared the photo to Instagram when she turned 73. "That picture went viral. You don't usually take that picture at 73, but I could. And it looked good," Suzanne said on Good Morning America in 2020. "I want women to know it's not over. And when you think it's over—I just want them to know there are more chapters."

LOCKWOOD, ANNEATiger Balm / Amazonia Dreaming / Immersion  LP  $31.99Black Truffle presents a new issue of Annea Lockwood's classic 1970 tape piece "Tiger Balm", unavailable on vinyl for over thirty years, accompanied by two exquisite unreleased works for percussion and voice. "Created while Lockwood was living in the UK, the side-long 'Tiger Balm' is a singular work within the cannon of tape music. Inspired by research into the ritual function of music, the piece explores the possibility of evoking ancient communal memories through sound. Breaking entirely with the dynamic language of the musique concrète tradition, Lockwood uses a select palette of mainly unprocessed sonic elements chosen for their mysterious and erotic characteristics (a purring cat, a heartbeat, gongs, slowed down jaw harp, a tiger, a woman's breath, a plane passing overhead), presenting at most two sounds at once. As one sound flows organically into the next, their shared characteristics are highlighted, opening a space of dream logic and mysterious associations between nature and culture, the ancient and the modern. The B side presents two pieces for percussion recorded here for the first time. 'Amazonia Dreaming' (1987), performed by Dominic Donato, uses unaccompanied snare drum and voice to evoke the nocturnal soundscape of the Amazon rainforest. Unorthodox techniques and materials (marbles, chopsticks, a plastic jar lid) transform the snare into a resonant field of sensual textures. 'Immersion' (1998), performed by Donato and Frank Cassara, is a slow-moving exploration of gentle beating tones, performed on marimba, tam tams, and gong. Like the other two works presented on this LP, it provides captivating proof of Lockwood's belief in the complexity that deep listening can reveal within seemingly simple sounds" --Francis Plagne. Comes in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with archival pictures and liner notes by Annea Lockwood; Includes the score to "Amazonia Dreaming"; LP design by Stephen O'Malley; Mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering. MCPHEE & ANDRE JAUME, JOENuclear Family  CD  $16.992016 release. Multi-instrumental master Joe McPhee and his longtime colleague, French saxophonist and clarinetist André Jaume, joined forces for this studio recording in 1979 that was prepared but never released. It is primarily structured around pairs of tunes by Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, and Duke Ellington (or Billy Strayhorn), adding Ornette Coleman's "Lonely Woman" for good measure. The results are stunningly intimate and show the twosome's capacity for creative interplay at a fairly early stage in its unfolding. Mingus's "Pithecanthropus Erectus", which was performed by a larger group on Topology (1981), gets pared down to its essential walking-bass-ness, while Monk's "Evidence" is taken apart, and solo spots by both men are as riveting as one would expect. Part of Corbett vs. Dempsey's ongoing historical effort to unearth and reissue McPhee's important discography, this previously unknown recording will delight existing fans and make new ones. NURSE WITH WOUNDDark Fat  3LP BOX  $59.99Triple LP box set of Nurse With Wound's 2016 release Dark Fat. Dark Fat is a celebration and documentation of ten years of NWW shows, but to call Dark Fat a live album is far too simplistic. It is an entirely new recording constructed by combining the most interesting moments of the past decade into unique tracks. M.S. Waldron is to thank as he is archival commandant of the NWW oeuvre, and since 2006 he has recorded every single thing. He has recorded all the live shows, sound-checks, rehearsals, off-stage events, and even covertly recorded the private conversations of the band. These recordings have been studiously and lovingly crafted into a unique sonic tapestry by Waldron and Steven Stapleton with delicate embroidery and filigree added by Andrew Liles and Colin Potter. This is now spread over six sides of luxurious vinyl and encased in a box with a gatefold insert, all featuring the art of Steven Stapleton aka Babs Santini. Listen in the Dark and soak up the Fat. SUN RA & HIS ARKESTRAMy Way Is The Spaceways  LP  $18.992017 repress. "Fourth volume of spoken word wisdom -- direct from Saturn!

Another album from the Pyramid label shrouded in mystery and produced by Toby Robinson in Cologne, circa 1974. Kosmische and head sounds with plenty of Minimoog, analog synths/keyboards, effects, loops, tape manipulation, treated percussions, etc., courtesy of Galactic Explorers, an electronic, minimal, ambient krautrock trio featuring Reinhard Karwatky (Dzyan). Take a trip to the inner regions of your mind, see ancient solar systems forming, and listen to cosmic winds and vibrations while sine waves of pure bliss will give you total peace of mind. RIYL: Terry Riley, Popol Vuh, Sand, Peter Michael Hamel, Tangerine Dream, Baba Yaga, Cluster, Cozmic Corridors, Brainticket. 24-bit domain remaster from the original tapes; Insert with liner notes by Alan Freeman, head boss at Ultima Thule and author of The Crack In The Cosmic Egg (1996). AREL, BULENTElectronic Music 1960-1973   LP  $24.992017 repress; LP version. Bülent Arel's (1919-1990) work occupies a special place in the history of electronic music, with one thing being certain: Arel's work is still fresh, groundbreaking, and it always look outs for the next adventure in sound. Sub Rosa present a collection of his works here as part of their Early Electronic series. Bülent Arel was a Turkish-born American composer of electronic and contemporary classical music. He was also a devoted teacher, a sculptor, and a painter. From 1940 to 1947, Arel studied composition, piano, and 20th century classical music at the Ankara Conservatory. In 1959, Arel came to the US on a grant by the Rockefeller Foundation to work at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center. By that time the center had just started out under its director Vladimir Ussachevsky. During Arel's work in Princeton he also met Edgard Varèse, with whom in 1962 he worked on the electronic sections of Varèse's Déserts. Frank Zappa lists Arel as a key influence. Today's electronic music - whether it is Autechre's Confield (2001), Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Vol. II (1999), or Squarepusher's Do You Know Squarepusher (2001) - builds upon a solid foundation which Bülent Arel helped to pave. Wire #403: Sept. 2017 MAG   $10.50"Lichens, 21st century polymath Robert Aubrey Lowe talks patching up modular synths, vocalising doom metal, and acting the part. Meanwhile, inside the issue... Peter King, New Zealand lathe cutter to the likes of The Dead C, Lee Ranaldo, Acid Mothers Temple, and No-Neck Blues Band.

Plus: Invisible Jukebox: Sparks; Epiphanies: Maggi Payne; Inner Sleeve: Ryoko Akama; Global Ear: Algarve; Unofficial Channels: Pop Not Slop." HIRO KONELove Is The Capital  LP  $18.99"Love Is The Capital the debut LP by Hiro Kone, the recording alias of Nicky Mao. The album is a follow-up to the incredibly well received Fallen Angels cassette, bringing with it some of Mao's most emotionally and politically driven work yet. It is Hiro Kone's long coming opus, examining a number of all-too-relevant themes: capital, the state, egoism, anxiety, and steadfast optimism. The eight songs on Love Is The Capital highlight Mao's austere, politicized techno battling for the greater good. Songs are visceral meditations of rhythm, noise, and melody in the vein of Pan Sonic, Chris & Cosey, Muslimgauze, and Kangding Ray. The sounds were often recorded in scenes of isolation, whether physically or emotionally. 'Infinite Regress' was during a trek with RLoveoxy Farman (Wetware) up to the sleepy, upstate NY town of Palenville. There, frozen in a cabin with the most DIY of recording booths, Mao recorded Roxy's vocals and what would be the track that would put into motion the entire album. 'Less Than Two Seconds' was written in a single afternoon in late December 2015 when it was revealed that the grand jury had declined to indict the police officer who shot to death 12-year old Tamir Rice. The taut techno, industrial minimalism, and aural upheaval is embedded in tracks 'Rukhsana' (featuring Drew McDowall, formerly of Coil & Psychic TV, on modular synthesizer), 'The Place Where Spirits Get Eaten,' and 'Less Than Two Seconds,' an emotionally wrought blitz of serrated Monomachine tones flanked by timeless recordings of essayist, poet, and social writer James Baldwin. Mao ventures deep into heady, prismatic runs of hypnotic techno, on 'Don't Drink the Water' and 'The Declared Enemy.' On opener 'Being Earnest' and 'Love is the Capital,' foreboding motifs brood their way back into the narrative. Still, the album maintains a sense transformation, burdened with an alien tension- the awareness of an impending and necessary collapse. And what may come next." MOON DIAGRAMSLifetime Of Love  2LP  $29.99"Lifetime Of Love is the debut album by Moon Diagrams, the solo recording project of Deerhunter co-founder and drummer Moses John Archuleta. Recorded in Georgia (Atlanta and Athens) and Manhattan (East Village) over a 10-year period, Lifetime Of Love finds Archuleta processing various stages of love, loss, and regeneration via forlorn pop, minimal techno, and weightless experimentation. Throughout each of the 8 songs, Archuleta follows fits of inspiration or moments of chance. By lifting samples from thrift store-sourced LPs, removed from their sleeves and chosen at random to find loops and textures, Archuleta lets the unknown happen naturally, but still confined to a specific set of boundaries. 'Bodymaker' and 'Nightmoves' feature Archuleta's earliest solo recordings, captured between the release of Deerhunter's 2007 breakout LP Cryptograms and 2008 LP Microcastle. The two songs also show Archuleta's willingness to venture outside of the taut, mesmerizing drone rock of his main band. The chilling, ambient techno of 'Nightmoves' perfectly foils and compliments the broodingly sullen but sincerely beautiful shuffle into the dark. In 2012, Archuleta decided to pick up his recording activity, challenging himself to make a solo album. Locking himself in his practice space and using only the spare instruments laying around, Archuleta would enter fugue states in recordings. This period yielded a disparate mix of sonic sketches, from eerily bucolic choir recordings ('Playground'), dusty art-pop ('Moon Diagrams'), and infectiously jubilant dance pop ('End of Heartache'). For the final period, Archuleta found inspiration after an extended stint in Berlin, estranged from his friends and family. But Archuleta used the relative isolation to take in the city's dark energy, eventually returning home to finish the album with a newfound sense of resolve. Subtly grandiose and quietly epic, the album explores a nascent beginning, a morose middle, and a bittersweet, optimistic end." ADI GELBARTPreemptive Musical Offerings To Satisfy Our Future Masters  LP  $30.99For his next release on Felix Kubin's Gagarin Records, multi-instrumentalist Adi Gelbart delivers twelve Preemptive Musical Offerings To Satisfy Our Future Masters. With a spiraling musical complexity reminiscent of film scores, BBC Radiophonic Workshop, library music, criminal swing, Russian vitamins, tinnitus' twist, abstract jazz and musique concrète, Gelbart surpasses himself this time by augmenting his palette of instruments to the extent where he becomes a small orchestra. "The Source" of his musical identity plays "The Message" of synths, broken organs, harpsichord (!), double bass, horns, cymbals and crispy drum machines. It's a "Spacetime Reverie," where "Tsuburaya" blows "Leaves For Gamera" while "He Who Speaks Through Pyramids" walks through "Echoville" with "Dust" on his shoes, contemplating the "Birth Of Alpha" after "The Big Sleep." While humming to songs of the second moon, the "Harpsichord Automata" leads "The March Of The Thinking Machines" to a blissful silver big bang. The LP comes in a beautifully designed sleeve with cover artwork by Berlin-based German illustration star Benedikt Rugar, who has contributed to newspapers such as The New York Times and Spiegel, as well as numerous animation film festivals. A download card is included with the purchase of the record. KING BUCKNOR JR. & AFRODISK BEAT 79African Woman LP  $26.99Hot Casa present a reissue of King Bucknor Jr. & Afrodisk Beat 79's African Woman, originally released in 1979. African Woman is a fantastic Afro-beat album from the Fela Anikulapo Kuti disciple and Kalakuta Republic member. A sublime spiritual and political session recorded in 1979 at the EMI studio in Lagos, Nigeria. Arranged and self-produced, Kingsley Bucknor's second album, hopelessly obscure and impossible to find, ranks alongside the best Afro-beat albums in history. At the age of 19, King Bucknor Jr., also known as the Black Isaiah of Africa, released his second album backed by a 16-piece band called The Afrodisk, and ten background singers. Two long and hypnotic grooves with all the Afro-beat ingredients: fluid and complex drums patterns, strong horns, female voices on chorus, strong lyrics, beautiful keys, and horns solos. Essential for all Afro collectors and music lovers. Vinyl replica; Remastered by Carvery (UK); Includes inner sleeve with an interview. RAINFOREST SPIRITUAL ENSLAVEMENTFallen Leaves Camouflaged Behind Tropical Flowers  LP  $24.99Marking six years of Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement's cultish, elemental output, Dominick Fernow (Prurient) gives the project's first ever release a vinyl pressing for the first time, coiling up two extended tracts of impure, unnatural gloom ranking amongst his most cherished works. Fallen Leaves Camouflaged Behind Tropical Flowers was originally released on tape in 2011 in an edition of 59. When RSE was first conceived with Fallen Leaves Camouflaged Behind Tropical Flowers in 2011, the project was shrouded in a veil of mystery which left many fiends guessing to its provenance -- it seemed too far reduced to be identified as Fernow's work, but also didn't easily resonate with anyone of Hospital Productions' usual suspects, instead holding a unique line of stygian slow techno that sounded like some our bleakest, febrile fantasies come to life. Soon enough RSE's creator and navigator was indeed revealed to be Fernow, and the project became regarded among his most prized golems by those in the know, not least because it was starkly defined in contrast to his myriad other pseudonyms -- Vatican Shadow, Prurient, Christian Cosmos, Force Publique Congo, and so on -- by dint of its perceived restraint and glowering minimalism. Perhaps because of that stringent, meditative asceticism, the hypnotic grip of RSE has remained undiminished and perhaps as strong as ever on this new vinyl edition, where the predator heartbeat and keening tonal groans of "Life Would Transform" sound more pensive and narcotically effective than ever, and the borderland industrial chug and clag of "Skull Covered In Moss" seems to be seated deeper into its dank gloom, emulating a location recording of a burial-by-mud in some godforsaken no-man's-land, with lurking parakeets and mechanical birds awaiting their turn on your soon-to-be carrion. RIYL: Coil, Demdike Stare, Prurient, Brian Eno / Jon Hassell's Fourth World (1980). Remastered by Paul Corley; Cut at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin. Edition of 500. OMAR KHORSHID AND HIS GROUPLive in Australia 1981  LP  $25.99This is the first live concert recording ever issued of legendary Egyptian guitarist Omar Khorshid and his group. It features tracks recorded during his 1981 tour of Australia, including live versions of songs that grace his various LPs recorded for Lebanese and Egyptian labels during the 1970s with one phenomenal tune, "Al Rabieh," being exclusive here as never before issued in any form. The sound is surprisingly great for a live cassette recording and the band is as sharp and monumental as ever, with stunning instrumental performances throughout, including an extended improvisational rhythmic exchange between percussionist Ibrahim Tawfiek and Omar's electric guitar on the epic track "Sidi Mansour." This record is loaded with Khorshid's signature microtonal Arabesque surf guitar elegance darting atop the backing band's brilliant accompaniment, and the tones of organist Fouad Rohaiem sound raw and abrasive, as though it were still 1973. The album has even more nostalgic (and tragic) significance as these shows would be his last; a car accident claiming Omar's life within 72 hours of flying back to Cairo from Australia. Mohamed Amine, Khorshid's lifelong friend and member of his group from 1975-1981, recorded these tracks and provided the photographs that embellish the beautiful gatefold jacket that accompanies this LP. Collected and researched by Khorshid historian Hany Zaki in Cairo, this unbelievable treasure is now available for the world to behold. Limited edition LP release in a full-color gatefold jacket with exquisite photos from Mohamed Amine's personal archive and informative liner notes by Hany Zaki.

Suzanne Somers Gets Flirty in a Pink Salt Room

“I’d love to say it was because I had too much sex,” Suzanne Somers said.

But the truth behind her crutch would hardly make Chrissy Snow blush: a stress fracture, made worse by a tumble from the private tram to her 93-acre compound in Palm Springs, Calif, while partying with friends. Surgery ensued, followed by weeks of bed rest.

“I just got out of bed three days ago, and here I am in heels,” she said, peeling off a black Norma Kamali sleeping bag coat to reveal a slinky tiger-print Dolce & Gabbana dress and matching Manolo Blahnik heels.

She was at Modrn Sanctuary, a moodily black-walled spa on West 27th Street in Manhattan on a frigid Wednesday afternoon, looking to decompress after “The Dr. Oz Show,” where she was promoting her 27th book, “A New Way to Age” (that’s 26 more than Emily Bronte).

Pleasantries dispatched, Ms. Somers managed a vampy strut — as vampy as you can strut with a crutch, anyway — down a hallway that features “wellnes” offerings so “modrn” that extraneous letters are scarcely needed. Ms. Somers opted for the halotherapy, or salt therapy, in which she would sit in a chamber made of 10,000 pounds of pink Himalayan salt.

“Himalayan salt is all about the minerals,” she said, extolling the putative health benefits of magnesium replenishment, although the room’s luxe decor and pink light felt more like a bottle-service lounge at a Hollywood nightclub. “I’ve got Himalayan salt lamps throughout my house.”

Leaning her crutch against the wall, she reclined on a large white chair, dangling her exposed legs off one end and thrusting out her chest, as if posing for a 1950s pin-up shot.

Ms. Somers still invites the male gaze, or really, any gaze. To mark her 73rd birthday last October, she posted a nude photo of herself on Instagram, crouched in a field of wildflowers. “A sexual person is a healthy person,” she said.

Her sex-positive image is the cornerstone of a business empire built on health and diet books, cosmetics, supplements, branded salt rubs, protein shakes and, of course, Thighmasters, those overgrown binder clips immortalized in 1990s infomercials.

It also grounds her current role as an anti-aging guru. Her new book is a series of interviews with wellness-minded doctors on topics such as bloating, constipation, low libido and pain management, with a heavy emphasis on bioidentical hormone-replacement therapy (a controversial anti-aging practice that replenishes hormones such as progesterone and testosterone with plant-based duplicates).

She has been leaning on hormone creams and supplements made from yam extracts for 25 years. “Aging is about worn out parts,” she said, adding that the results are evident in her youthful hair, relatively wrinkle-free skin and her bedroom prowess.

Running her stockinged toes through the pebble-sized salt crystals, Ms. Somers said that she enjoys daily sex with her husband, Alan Hamel, another hormone-replacement devotee who is ten years her senior and was once, she said, “the Johnny Carson of Canada.”

“He makes incredible organic coffee in the morning, brings it to me in bed, and waits for me to give him a thumbs up,” Ms. Somers said.

It’s not just coffee that keeps them buzzing. Although her father had been a “terrible alcoholic,” she said, Ms. Somers got into tequila recently and considers her nightly cocktails with her husband a form of sacrament. “It’s an upper, a little hallucinogenic,” she said, as if channeling Carlos Castaneda extolling peyote.

A wellness regimen that goes heavy on sex and alcohol might seem at odds with the celery-cleanse spirit of contemporary Goop culture. But Ms. Somers has never been afraid to flout convention.

Back in the 1970s, when networks were leaning into socially-aware sitcoms like “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and “One Day at a Time” that were centered around independent women, Ms. Somers got famous as a peroxide-blonde confection in micro-shorts whose emotional development seemed frozen at nine years old.

But, she said, sitting up straight in her chair, she has no regrets about playing Chrissy Snow in “Three’s Company,” even as seen through the prism of 2020 gender politics. “I would have played a monkey,” she said with a shrug. “I needed the part.”

Besides, Ms. Somers added, she considered it an intellectual challenge to give a “dumb blonde depth.” “I gave her a moral code,” she said. “She would never tell a lie. And she had a sense of outrage, like Edith Bunker.”

She said she got fired when she asked for a salary more in line with the network’s male stars. “Six years into it, it’s the No. 1 show, and the men were making 10 to 15 times more,” she said.

It was a bold feminist move, she admits. “I believe that we should be paid commensurate with our ability to bring in revenue,” she said, leaning forward in her chair.

Ms. Somers is notably lacking in #MeToo-era outrage. “I’m not wearing pink pussyhats, and I never will.” She said she never experienced advances that she considered threatening.

It was a different era, she said. “Men used to come on to women, and either you liked it or you didn’t,” she said. “You go to a bar, you might get picked up, and it’s up to you. It’s not like, ‘You want me to sleep with you, you pig?’”

“Even innocent flirtation is fun,” she added, smiling coyly.
