valentine's day gifts based on their venus sign
Venus, the planet of love and relationships, waltzing through the zodiac, bringing its unique flair to each sign.
First up, Aries Venus is all about passion and excitement. They might see Valentine's Day as an opportunity to spice things up, perhaps with a surprise adventure or an adrenaline-pumping activity. Traditional gifts are nice, but these fiery individuals may prefer something with a touch of spontaneity.
Taurus Venus, on the other hand, has a deep appreciation for the finer things in life. Picture a cozy, candlelit dinner or a lavish spa day. Valentine's Day gifts for them might include luxurious items – think silky scarves or a box of gourmet chocolates. Practical and sensual, they enjoy something they can savor.
Now, Gemini Venus is the social butterfly of the zodiac. They might view Valentine's Day as a chance to connect on an intellectual level. Engaging in witty banter over a delicious meal or attending a thought-provoking event could be their ideal celebration. As for gifts, a good book or a clever board game might tickle their fancy.
Cancer Venus is all about emotional connection. A heartfelt, home-cooked meal or a nostalgic date is right up their alley. When it comes to Valentine's Day gifts, something that taps into their sentimental side – perhaps a personalized photo album or a piece of jewelry with special meaning – would be perfect.
Leaving the water sign and diving into Leo Venus territory! These folks adore grand gestures. Think a night out at a fancy restaurant or a surprise party in their honor. When it comes to gifts, something that makes them feel like royalty – perhaps a statement piece of clothing or a glamorous accessory – is likely to make their heart roar.
Virgo Venus, ever the perfectionist, might appreciate a thoughtful and well-planned Valentine's Day. A meticulously crafted date or a practical yet stylish gift like a planner or high-quality skincare products could be their cup of tea.
Libra Venus seeks harmony and romance. They might enjoy a beautiful, well-balanced evening, perhaps with a sophisticated dinner and a touch of elegance. When it comes to gifts, something aesthetically pleasing and meaningful, like a piece of art or a piece of jewelry, would be cherished.
Scorpio Venus craves intensity and depth. A private, intimate celebration with their partner could be their ideal Valentine's Day. Gifts that tap into their mysterious and passionate side, such as a scented candle or a piece of sultry lingerie, might make their heart race.
Sagittarius Venus values freedom and adventure. They might see Valentine's Day as an opportunity to explore new horizons together. Planning a spontaneous trip or trying out an exciting activity could be their perfect celebration. As for gifts, something that aligns with their love for exploration – like a travel-themed accessory or a book by their favorite author – would be appreciated.
Capricorn Venus appreciates tradition and reliability. A classic, well-executed date or a timeless gift like a quality watch or a leather accessory might resonate with their sensibilities.
Aquarius Venus seeks uniqueness and individuality. They might enjoy a quirky, out-of-the-box Valentine's Day celebration, perhaps attending a unique event or trying something unconventional together. For gifts, something avant-garde or tech-savvy, like a cool gadget or an artistic piece, could capture their interest.
Finally, Pisces Venus is a true romantic dreamer. They might appreciate a magical, whimsical Valentine's Day – perhaps a moonlit stroll or a cozy night in watching their favorite romantic movies. Gifts that tap into their artistic and sentimental side, such as a handmade craft or a beautifully written love letter, could make their heart flutter.
And there you have it! Twelve unique perspectives on Valentine's Day, each with its own flair and charm. When it comes to Valentine's Day gifts, the key is to consider the individual preferences and tastes of your loved one, aligning the gesture with the essence of their Venus sign. Happy celebrating!

Random Astro Observations #6
@helslastangel
Tumblr media
Disclaimer: These are based on personal observations and experiences and may not resonate for everyone with these placements. If it doesn’t apply, let it fly 🪽
🔥 Leo sun men as fathers often make excellent financial providers but poor emotional support for their children
💧Scorpio moon women are often overprotective of their sons and very harsh or demanding of their children's love interests
🌬 Aquarius mars placements don't get mad, they get even. the definition of neither forgive nor forget
🌿 Capricorn moons pay attention to what you like and will send you relevant memes or funny videos if they like you. They love making others laugh and sharing humor is a love language to them
🔥 Sagittarius sun women with Aries placements can be self-centered in their day-to-day actions without realizing it and sometimes end up with strained friendships and issues with their siblings
💧Cancer venus men can be some of the most caring and kind if they like you, but they are also vengeful and will ruin your day on purpose if they feel like it will make their point
🌬 Libra suns are typically cheerful unless they have Virgo or Capricorn moon - those can be quite serious or melancholy. if they have Sagittarius moon they may have more anger management issues and are more confrontational in general.
🌿 Taurus sun men prefer to be chased than do the chasing. if a Taurus man is chasing you, he seriously likes you something different because they're not getting off the couch for just anybody
🔥 Aries moon and Sagittarius mercury can make anyone 2x more fiery than they would be based on their sun sign, or give an otherwise chilled-out chart a massive energy boost. I had a Scorpio sun, Aries moon, Sag mercury, Libra venus, Scorpio mars friend and she was the sweetest but most aggressive Scorpio I ever met. Nobody believed she was a Scorpio tbh her Aries + Sag energies overwhelmed the rest of her placements. I knew someone else with Scorpio sun, moon, venus, mars, and Libra mercury and they were like a huge teddy bear and kind of a pushover most of the time.
💧Scorpio risings deal with a lot of unexplained hatred from acquaintances and random strangers. Most people react to them with either love/obsession or intense anger. It can cause them a lot of anxiety and people like to pick physical fights with them.
🌬 Gemini women are extremely loyal friends besides the tendency to talk a little bit too much to one person about someone else's business. The thing is, Geminis value community and communal traits a lot. I think they subconsciously forget that their friends aren't automatically your friends too, so they do need to ask before sharing things you only wanted them to know.
🌿 Virgo suns/moon LOVE to dance, or if they can't/won't, they might either enjoy watching other people do so, or just enjoy some form of physical movement that requires some coordination and focus in some way (martial arts, boxing, yoga, Tai chi, etc). But yeah if they become comfortable around you, just like with Capricorns, you'll discover a whole other side to them
🔥 Leo venuses are known for liking gifts but tbh it's not just any gift - they want things that are high quality at the very least. Even better if it's something they can show off to others. My ex has this placement and I remember for Valentine's Day, I got him a bunch of things ranging in price, some for glamour and others because I just noticed he could use them. Yeah well, he loved the $250 gold earrings and immediately put them in and went to show his friends, and he loved the black woven bracelets because they "looked exclusive" but I found the tracksuit, graphic tees and the card with the lipstick print I got him shoved in the back of his closet. Asked about it and after lying about putting them there "just for a second to sweep the floor" he eventually admitted that because they weren't designer he really didn't want them. Lesson learned 0_0
My dad also has Leo venus and although he doesn't particularly care about things being designer or not like that, he WILL pick at the quality of anything you get him and only be happy if he can do the boomer thing where they say how "solid" something feels and how it will "last." If it's something like a book, it has to be a super popular bestselling "everyone is talking about this" title or else... yeah your gift is ending up in a sock drawer :/ lol
💧 Water moons experience a lot of guilt whenever they set boundaries with others and it's something they have to overcome as early as possible or they will suffer from a lot of headaches or stomachaches from anxiety
🌬 Aquarius sun men can be extremely toxic when it comes to wanting and chasing someone only after that person loses interest or displays nonchalance towards them. It is almost like they like a challenge to the point of manufacturing it over investing the same energy into a personal connection. The thing is, this is fun for a while but if they do it too often to too many people within a closed environment (school, activity group, work, etc), word gets around and they can often suddenly find themselves losing friends and romantic prospects. They can become lonely at that point and try to double back with their top interests, but won't admit they f*cked up. They just show up either acting as if nothing happened or being kinda arrogant about the whole thing and insisting that you're the one playing games with them.
🌿 Earth signs in the big 3 can make someone develop very peculiar ways of organizing. It can be physical objects, locations, or even just their thoughts, but they will have a whole elaborate process that can be kinda cute to watch unfold.
🔥 Fire signs in the big 3 can make someone highly expressive and have huge energy, even if they're a shy or quiet person. You'll know they've arrived at a function long before you see them and can find them in a room by just following the vibes ✨️
💧Pisces placements, especially suns, are extremely perceptive and people do not give them nearly enough credit for this. They're noticing everything and taking notes for future reference - looking like they're in the own world is just how they seem on the outside. Just because they didn't say anything doesn't mean they didn't clock your tea.

14th February, St Valentines day, the day for lovers, young and old, chocolate and roses and cheesy cards. Reputed to have begun in ancient Rome around 496AD with the festival of Lupercalia held in mid February. Girls and boys drew names from a box and would become girlfriend and boyfriend for the duration of the festival. Of course the church hijacked it later on, and used it to celebrate St Valentine. A Roman Priest executed for refusing to deny Christ and associated with courtly love. Being UK based we usually think of a dozen red roses and chocolates or champagne. Along with a card extolling our feelings of love. But how do other countries celebrate it? Japan Being Japanese, they tend to complicate it as usual. On the 14th girls give chocolates. However they do this in two ways. The first is called giri-choco and are pre made chocolates. These will be given to friends, family, perhaps work colleagues. Men they don't love romantically. The second type are Honmei-choco, being either more expensive, or traditionally hand made by the girl. Given to their partners, boyfriends, lovers etc. Traditionally men would only accept these from girl they were interested in. On 14th March the menfolk would return the gesture three fold on what is called white day. South Korea The south Koreans, follow pretty much the same pattern as the Japanese. However, on the month after white day, they have an additional celebration called Black day. This is for all those unfortunate enough not to have received gifts on the other days. They get together and eat black noodles. Philippines The Filipino's celebrate in much the same ways as in the West. However, there is also an added incentive for lovers on the 14th. Many municipalities provide free weddings on the day. The cakes, flowers, venue, banquet and even the rings are all provided free of charge. This leads to mass weddings around the country on St Valentines day. Norway Or Valentinsdag in Norwegian. Much like the UK, with meals, roses, lingerie and so on. They do have one old belief that birds mated on this day to bear their offspring. And it's now believed that seeing birds mate is a sign of true love. TBH I don't think I have ever seen birds mating. In fact I am not sure I would recognise what they were doing if I did, assuming the tradition refers to the feathered kind. Sweden Alla hjärtans dag, or All Hearts Day as our Swedish cousins refer to it. They prefer jellied candies and pastries to our traditional chocolates. It has only been an occasion in Sweden since the 60's, so it isn't as widely celebrated as in other countries. Denmark Our Danish friends have a tradition called Gækkebreve , or Snowdrop letter. They send the object of the affection a letter, but sign it with a series of dots for their name. The receiver must try and work out who it is from, and if they get it correct are rewarded with an Easter egg on Easter Sunday. France Hmm, an unusual custom and not exactly the height of chivalry. French singletons would call out to each other across the street to be paired up. But if the mane didn't quite fancy the woman he was allowed to reject her and try again. The sadly outed woman would gather together to burn photos and other reminders of the suitors who had given them the thumbs down, as a sort of group 'therapy'. Eventually the government banned the practise. No doubt some woman felt better burning the real item rather than the photo. This early form of speed dating was christened "une loterie d’amour", the lottery of love. Wales The Welsh evidentially, don't traditionally go in for St Valentine. Their nearest version is Saint Dwynwen's day on 25th January. Here the men present a gift of a wooden spoon to their love interest. Various symbols and patterns with special meanings were carved into the spoon. A strange custom when presenting a wooden spoon elsewhere usually has negative connotations. Argentina Those randy Latinos can't manage with just the one day. They drag it out a whole week, starting on 13th and running to the 20th, sweetness week encourages the swapping of kisses for candy. The week ends with friendship day so no one is left out. South Africa The Springboks mirror the UK with a lot of the Valentine celebrations. However they do also follow in the footsteps of the original Roman celebration by pinning the names of their lovers on to their sleeves. Luckily they don't follow the original rules to closely, as the Romans would sacrifice goats, then run through the streets naked, whipping the women folk to increase their fertility. Most of the countries around the world have adopted the Western celebration of St Valentines day, with flower giving, chocolate and other gifts. Some Islamic countries are rather hostile to the holiday, and some outright ban it. If you want a Valentine treat for your staff, a party or even as a private service for your loved one, many of our treats such as Churros, Valentine crepes, doughnuts can be made with a pink dough to suit the occasion, or we can supply melted pink chocolate as a topping.

Mercury, Venus, and Mars signs 👁️‍🗨️💗 Communication, Love, and Passions🔥 Vanity's Mercury Sign: Leo ♌ Vanity's Venus Sign: Leo ♌ Vanity's Mars Sign: Libra ♎ Azalea's Mercury Sign: Sagittarius ♐ Azalea's Venus Sign: Sagittarius ♐ Azalea's Mars Sign: Libra ♎
Every planet sign next to my name(Azalea) is based on my actual natal chart. For Vanity Smurf, his signs are based on his personality and relationships in the comics and 1980s cartoon series because he doesn't have a known birthdate.
First, I'll start with his Mercury sign. Vanity's communication style in the '80s cartoon series and comic books is all about self-expression and honesty. He speaks confidently and happily when sharing his opinions about fashion and beauty. He is never shy. Honesty is his language just like a mirror! So this makes his Mercury sign Leo.
Second, I'll explain what his Venus sign will be. Based on the comics and 1980s cartoon series, Vanity's love style is fixed primarily on his personal beauty and secondly on others. This is why he is very self-loving. Leo represents self and Venus represents love. Therefore, you get self-love. But this love is not just for himself. He naturally shows occasional romantic interest in Smurfette during courting. His gifts and gestures are quite regal and tops the other smurf's gift ideas. He struts in a tuxedo and sings to impress Smurfette in the Mr. Smurf Contest, making the rest look amateur. Also, he offered her to ride with him in his mushroom carriage to the ball just like they do in fairytales! The other smurf's gifts could not beat Vanity's grand ideas. Another example of Vanity being a generous artist is when he creates an exquisitely colorful not-so-dull scarecrow for Farmer Smurf as a favor to keep the crows away. But Vanity's "glamcrow" attracted so many admiring birds like bees to golden honey and Farmer didn't like that. It wasn't on purpose as Vanity only meant well! Vanity is capable of appreciating his friends and himself at the same time in a healthy way.
Third, I'll discuss his Mars sign. Mars tells us about our passions, actions, and sexual desires. Since Vanity is the opposite of an aggressive beast, Libra would be his Mars sign because of his cool-mannered surface. Mars in Libra natives are passionate beauty lovers drawn to aesthetically pleasing settings. They often avoid dirty work and bad manners. Instead, they rather collaborate in groups. Teamwork. Vanity often helps his team but complains about the unattractive environments they need to go through. Deep in his heart, he wants to make things right even when life turns ugly. Peace, polite manners, and flirtatious behavior are visible on his surface. He never bullies anyone or explodes quickly because he doesn't like uncouth behavior. This makes Vanity a Mars in Libra native(just like me!)😄💗 Libra's love of love and beauty definitely makes Vanity swoon. His favorite holiday is Valentine's Day. Mars in Libra natives balance their daily life with partnerships, beauty, wellness, peacemaking, and self-love. Vanity has a keen sense of aesthetics and fashion-savvy background. He adores Valentine's Day and dancing with Smurfette at parties as seen in comics and episodes. The two of them spend time together because they share a love of beauty. His relationship with Smurfette is platonic and sometimes romantic. Mars in Libra natives pursue friendship as well as romance with their chosen one.
Charming intellect to get themselves out of a mess is a Mars in Libra native's secret weapon. As a beautician loaded with charm, Vanity saved his own skin and the other captured smurfs from Hogatha by telling her to use a mudbath instead of smurf oil. She intended to rub Vanity's beautiful skin on her own before Vanity changed her mind. Luckily, Vanity was prepared and rational. Hogatha followed Vanity's advice and freed him and the other smurfs. I'm referring to the episode, The Golden Smurf Award. Believe me, I never fail to praise his good deeds!
This concludes my analysis of Vanity here. Fun fact: His name in Brussels is Schtroumpf Coquet. The meaning of "coquet" is a man who flirts. 💗Sounds like Vanity's Mars in Libra personality!

it’s valentine’s day and love is in the air at seongnam! 
although the campus is on break mode for most ( and winter session mode for those unfortunate souls who sign up for the 4 week semester ), it’s quite obvious to see that a popular choice for students is to remain upon campus until the new school year starts up again in march. seeing this, the student government starts promoting the sale of lovestagram ( an upgrade on candygrams ) on the week of valentines, starting from february 10th and ending the night of february 14th. a booth is set up specifically within the student government office located within the student center, showing what they have to offer:
there are several different lovestagrams to send -- either one with a simple box of assorted chocolates or candies, another with a bouquet of fresh roses, one with a teddy bear holding a heart, and one with heart shaped balloons attached to it. each comes with a note so that the sender can write a special message for their special someone. feel free to mix and match! the lovestagrams will be delivered throughout the day on february 14th, valentine’s day, and will be delivered to the person’s doorstep of their housing. and while this day is usually reserved for women giving gifts to men, the office is promoting that these gifts are free to give for all on today.
and while the lovestagrams are a sweet treat indeed, many keeping their eyes wide open to see who receives what from who, the main event that’s the talk of the campus -- or even the talk of the town, in all honesty -- isn’t taking place on campus.
club insomnia’s holiday bashes are well known to the point that some would even say that they’re iconic -- it’s certain that you’ll always make memories to last a lifetime ( and some mistakes that you would want to forget ) at least at one of their parties; even with the line outside almost wrapping around the building, some say it’s worth the wait. they’ve decided to host a party this year on valentine’s night with the theme of sins and virtues -- in order to get into the venue, you must dress up ( yes, it’s a costume party ) based on one of the 7 deadly sins or 7 heavenly virtues. every wall and room within the club will be decorated with heaven and hell to match the theme, and along with hosting a costume contest, photo wall and photobooth for the instagram generation, a room filled with foam bubbles ( please dress appropriately ) and having the hottest djs to set the mood, it’s certainly setting the stage for a night to remember. doors will open at 9pm and the doors will close around 4am.
a little sugar to start the day off while ending it with a little spice, what more could you ask for?
ooc wise, this event will last 3 weeks as well -- starting on today, february 14th and ending on march 6th, just in time for the new semester! 
if you would like to send a lovestagram to a muse:
please send us a submission with the title ‘lovestagram’ that has the muse’s name that you are sending it to as well as their url, the items you are gifting them, and the ic note that your muse would write to them. also if you wish for yours to be anonymous, please either state that or submit it on anon as well! don’t worry about formatting, we’ll handle that and will be sending them out as they come in throughout the event.
as for the sins and virtues party, it is encouraged ( but not mandatory, obviously! ) to make edits / moodboards / whatever you like related to the costume that your muse will be dressing up as! especially if your muse is going to be participating in the costume contest. we haven’t made up our minds if we’ll have an actual ooc poll to vote for that as well, but we’ll see! also please note that your character has to be 19 years or older in order to get into the club!
tag all related threads to the event as sgn:valentines and as always, feel free to continue your threads after the march 6th date! new ones can not be made once that date has passed. if you have any questions, please shoot us an ask or an im and we’ll help out as best as we can! have fun everyone, and a happy valentine’s day to you all ~ ♡

Standing at the bar with...     Leo Saunders
We LOVE hanging out in Cotswolds pubs and recently bumped into Leo Saunders, musician, songwriter and founder of Tuneriver, a personalised song service.
Tumblr media
Photo credit: Christopher Cornwell 
So Leo, what’s the drink you're getting at the bar?
Vodka and ginger ale (ale, not beer) - it’s my go-to - refreshing and a little spicy. My favourite vodka
Tito's Handmade Vodka
it’s an original craft Vodka (whatever that is?!) produced in Austin, Texas from corn instead of potatoes. My other favourite is
Crystal Head
created by Dan Aykroyd, it’s very smooth and comes in a glass skull-shaped bottle. Very rock’n’roll! Haha! The ginger ale? Gotta be Fever Tree - it could be a branding thing... but it does seem to taste better!
Tumblr media
What’s your favourite kind of pub? Which ones do you go to in the Cotswolds?
The Cotswolds is fantastic for the variety of pubs you can find. I often have people stay from out of town and they always love the options we have available in Cheltenham. I tend to go to a lot of the places I perform music at, as ‘LEO LIVE’
https://www.leosaunders.com/ 
The Retreat, Harry Cook’s, The Bayshill, Smokey Joe’s, Gin & Juice/131, The Tavern. I also like the bar at Cowley Manor with the fun art on the walls, and other places outside Cheltenham - The Prince Albert in Rodborough is also an amazing place, I need to get back there sometime...
Tumblr media
Photo: Cowley Manor
If a track came on - what would make you dance? What would make you make a swift exit?
Currently, it would be ‘Good As Hell’ by Lizzo. I love old-school stuff like Funkadelic and Sly Stone.If there’s music on, I’m unlikely to make a swift exit… unless it’s Nickelback, that is!
You started out on the Camden indie circuit - what lead you to that life? What was the best memory?
At the time I used the live in South-East London, but used to spend as much free-time as possible in Camden. I loved the shops, the market, music venues and general vibe of the place. It was the 90’s, and we would often bump into well-known band members in pubs like The Falcon, The Monarch, The Dublin Castle and The Underworld.
We supported FEEDER at gigs around this time. Hard to pick a ‘best’ memory, but probably playing to a packed house at the infamous Water Rats in Kings Cross. The band from that time are doing a reunion gig at The Water Rats this July, so I’m looking forward to that one!
Tumblr media
Photo: The Water Rats
Tell us a little more about the War Songs project. How long did it take you to put it together and would you like to do something like that again?
It took around six months to pull-together. I worked on the compositions with George Moorey who is a great producer and music creator based in Gloucester. Our concept was to create 2 pieces of music from WWI poetry to commemorate the centenary of the First World War, one that was 19mins 14secs long and one 19mins 18seconds long - 19:14, 19:18 - to represent the years of the war. We attracted Heritage Lottery funding for the project and they recommended we focus on the local Gloucestershire composer and poet, Ivor Gurney.
I absolutely loved visiting the Gloucestershire Archives and having the opportunity to read Ivor Gurney’s actual note books and letters, and then interpret his poetry into music with George. His story resonated with me having lived with my own mental health issues and challenges. So it became incredibly important to deliver a good piece of work.
We co-ordinated with local musicians and schools and community groups to perform the pieces at The Guildhall. On the night there were 99 musicians on-stage - it was wonderful to see the younger musicians enjoying and benefitting from working alongside the professional and semi-professional musicians.

We love your new venture Tuneriver - how does it work?
Thank you! In a nutshell, Tuneriver help customers to send personalised songs as gifts for various occasions - Birthday, Valentine’s, Anniversary, Mother’s Day, Congratulations, Motivation… the list goes on!
Through years of working in the creative-arts fields, I’ve found that music artists are paid very poorly for their work that appears on regular music-streaming services. For example, an artist can dedicate weeks and months-worth of time and pour their heart and soul into working on an EP or album. Yet, to receive just the equivalent of minimum wage for their work, they will need to achieve over a million ‘plays/streams’ per month. With tuneriver.com singer-songwriters are able to get paid well for their personalised tracks with each order.
There is also a possibility for the artists to have their work promoted to an international audience and also build up a community where the artists support each other. So, each purchase made on tuneriver.com goes toward supporting the artist by paying them for their musical art and songcraft and investing in their creativity.
Tumblr media
On the tuneriver.com site, you can review and choose a song to be personalised and have it ordered within a few minutes. After ordering, the song goes into the studio for the song personalisation to be added and within 72hrs it’s delivered as a personalised webpage with the downloadable personalised song, personalised lyric sheet and message. With some songs you can even personalise up to 40% of the song!
We’ve been receiving an amazing response from our customers, people are genuinely ‘wowed’ and it is so heartwarming to hear their incredible feedback.
And yes… we’ve heard that our personalised songs have made people cry happy-tears!!
Tumblr media
Tell us more about some of the artists that you can find on Tuneriver.
We’re so happy to announce four new artists for 2020.
The first is Oli Gosh. Oli began her career as an actress, training at RADA and then performing roles ranging from Juliet in Romeo and Juliet to Dirty Dancing in the West End. Coming from the underground up, Oli found her true home on the dance floor of Amnesia in Ibiza where she discovered Techno, teaming up with fellow south east London producer, Naive Machine to create the track ‘Silva’ which combines ethereal vocals with the raw power of flamenco stamping samples. She also worked with Danglo and their 1st release, ‘Never let you go’, was picked up by Pete Tong. She now has tens of thousands of followers on Spotify and is working on songs to be featured on Tuneriver.com
Tumblr media
Next up is blues-rocker Marc James. Marc is a gifted vocalist, guitarist, and lap steel player, worship leader and songwriter. If you like Eddie Vedder’s voice you’ll love Marc’s! He is the author of many well-known songs such as ‘Surrender’. Marc is also famous for fronting the band Verra Cruz, an English blues-rock band originally from St Albans.
Tumblr media
The next signing is our first international artist, Janet Renders (pronounced: ‘Shanet') from The Netherlands.
She is a solo artist and singer in her band ‘The First Resort’ and has performed during the international Four Days Marches in Nijmegen – an event that promotes sport and exercise. Janet is currently studying Music Therapy at the HAN University of Applied Sciences in Nijmegen and would love to give a special person in your life an unforgettable gift: your unique song.
Tumblr media
Our latest signing is Gina Larner, who I spotted singing at The Cheltenham Songwriter’s Guild at Smokey Joe’s. Gina is an up and coming folk/country artist, originally from Brighton. 
She has been playing guitar and singing since she can remember and is just about to finish her degree in Popular Music. Gina has performed up and down the country, being a grand finalist in Open Mic UK and other major competitions, along with playing with her band consisting of double bassist, electric guitar and violin. She has released 2 singles, and continues to write new songs to perform/sell. I can’t wait to have her songs featured on tuneriver.com.
Tumblr media
What’s your next venture?
I’m looking for a piano player that I can team up with to create a duo. I had a band before called The Holy Sinners. We used to put on events titled ’Songs of Intimacy, Romance and Doom’ (!) and I’d like to put on some evenings at places like Chapel Arts. Songs by Nina Simone, Nick Cave, Tom Waits, with some jazz and swing.
What are you going to be eating after your pub drink?
I’m a sucker for sticky chicken wings and sweet potato fries, it makes me feel like I’m back in New Orleans.
Tumblr media
Where do you go in the Cotswolds to unwind?
There are some wonderful walks. I like Cleeve Common, Leckhampton Hill, Robinswood Hill and Painswick Beacon. There are also wonderful parks in Cheltenham: Sandford and Pitville and my faves. Lunch or brunch at Baker & Graze in the Suffolks is also one of my favourite places. I also love the steam railway that runs from the racecourse to Broadway.
I studied Ancient History/Classical Civilisation at school and university, so I love visiting historic Roman sites and the Corinium Museum. To fully unwind I usually go to a local jam-night, like the one at The Bayshill, though... and I’ve starting singing some blues in The Berkeley Arms in Tewkesbury on a Monday night with Bryn Thomas, Roger Petley, Nathan Thomas and Stef Stevens, that really helps me unwind!

Ed. Note: Wesley is back with another round up of amazing live music in Memphis this month, from global superstars to club shows and everything in between. February starts strong with the International Blues Challenge finals on the 1st, and things just get better from there.  This columns tends to focus on one-time shows and special concerts, Memphis is full of regular gigs at unique venues across town. Check out the Lounge, Hernando’s Hideaway, B-Side, and Eight & Sand in the Central Station hotel, in addition to all the usual haunts. Top photo: Allison Kasper performs at Bar DKDC on Feb. 27. FEBRUARY 1 Rock the Vote at Shangri-La Records 2 p.m., all ages, free show Just in time for the February 3 registration deadline for the TN Democratic primary election, Memphis musicians Kelley Anderson (Crystal Shrine), and Alex Greene are throwing a voter registration drive/show at Shangri-La Records in Midtown. It’ll feature free live music from a bunch of really good local musicians and feature electronic voter registration. The music will be great and free, Shangri-La’s selection keeps getting richer all the time, and Kwik Chek is down the street. Go have a blast! (Voting is important. I can understand why some people feel that it isn’t. But even if you don’t feel like your vote matters, get out and vote for the people you know are directly affected by bad legislation. Anyway, back to the music.) FEBRUARY 1 Qemist, Strooly + DJ DanceAlone at the Hi-Tone Doors at 8 p.m., $5, 18 and up When selecting artists to feature on this column, finding the best value for your precious cover money is almost as important to me as the quality of the artist and show. This is one of those rare “why not both?” moments. The Hi-Tone will have a sick showcase of Memphis DJs and producers that are part of Future-Everything, a worldwide multimedia label based in Memphis. Prepare for real heady mixes that will be extremely easy to vibe to. FEBRUARY 5 Riff Raff with 6roke 6oy SiX, HANNYA CHAOS, and Odd Rodd w/ Nodus Defect at Growlers Doors at 7 p.m., all ages, $20 advance, $25 day of show No one who took themselves seriously would rap “non-stop through desert / salisbury steak sweater / they figured I was kin to Chester / the way I chase cheddar”, and that self-awareness is why we liked RiFF RAFF ten years ago. But it’s 2020, and the joke’s over. The real reasons you should pay attention to this show are the supporting acts: Memphis rappers 6roke 6boy SiX, HANNYA CHAOS, and Odd Rodd. This lineup will hit you like a freight train pushing cars full of blood and guts. Twenty bucks for three good shows and one potentially hilarious one is a great deal. FEBRUARY 8 Mo3 with El Zappo Foreign at Minglewood Hall Doors at 7 p.m., all ages*, $35+ *Minglewood’s site says “all ages”, but use parental discretion. Twenty-seven year-old Dallas rapper Mo3 allegedly took a bullet to the head in December, then went on Instagram live immediately afterwards to let folks know he was good. Only rap gossip sites are reporting this, but hey. Mo3 doesn’t necessarily bring anything new to the craft with his rags-to-riches gangsta rap, but he is signed to Boosie Badazz’s label Bad Azz, so he’s definitely got some juice. And if he really got headshotted and decided to flex, then Bad Azz is where he belongs. FEBRUARY 9 Frankie valet with Blvck Hippie & Late Night Cardigan at the Hi-Tone Doors at 10 p.m., $5 *ages TBD, but it’s most likely 18+ Once again, we have out-of-town talent supported by great local talent. Frankie valet, from St. Louis, hides very cheery and soft melodies under blankets of fuzz. They’ll fit right in with Blvck Hippie and Late Night Cardigan, both established indie rock bands in the Memphis music community with devoted followings. The fact that they’re only charging five bucks for this is crazy. Highly recommended. Use the extra cash to buy some drinks or one of Josh McLane’s good-as-hell sandwiches.  FEBRUARY 9 Celine Dion at FedExForum 7:30 p.m., $46+ Celine needs no introduction. We know she is the Queen of Canada, and probably the world. What I didn’t know is that Celine Dion is prolific, putting out at least one record every 3-5 years since 2003. She also put out an album, Courage, in November of last year. Celine Dion slaps. Drake thinks so. A lot. And y’all love Drake. So take his word for it.  FEBRUARY 11 The Beach Boys at The Orpheum Theatre 7 p.m., $49.50+ Are you going steady and wanna get your sweetie an early Valentine’s Day gift? Got in-laws with birthdays this month? Are you a youth getting “really into music” and discovering Pet Sounds? An older millennial experiencing second-hand nostalgia? Look no further: a version of the The Beach Boys are making waves in Memphis. While none of the founding Wilson brothers tour with this group, Mike Love is an original Beach Boy, and Bruce Johnston basically is. FEBRUARY 12 Umphrey’s McGee at Graceland Soundstage Doors at 7 p.m., $30+ I saw Jim James (My Morning Jacket), John Oates (Hall & Oates), Brittany Howard (Alabama Shakes), and R. Kelly (Problematic Would Be An Understatement), do a famous Bonnaroo Superjam in 2013. It was incredible, and while I never really liked jam bands, I understand them better now. It’s all about the vibe. Being the “moment”. If you’re into that, you’ll be into Umphrey’s McGee at the Graceland Soundstage this month. Check out the Jungle Room bar, or head across the street to the Guest House for a bar with a sweet happy hour. FEBRUARY 14 PJ Morton at Minglewood Hall Doors at 8 p.m., all ages, $25+ We all need some good R&B in our lives. It reminds you to stop and appreciate sensuality and emotion. It’s good for the soul! PJ Morton knows this. He’s a frequent Maroon 5 collaborator, and his live album Gumbo Unplugged snagged three Grammy nominations last year. His R&B is more traditional, think Kem and not the hyper-inward experimentalism of Frank Ocean. Both are necessary, but Frank Ocean songs are, for me at least, too sad to play during you-know-what*. *building with my friends on my private Christian Minecraft server, no cussing allowed. FEBRUARY 27 Allison Kasper w/ Daykisser at BAR DKDC Doors at 9 p.m., 21 and up $7 Seeing Red, Feeling Blue by Allison Kasper I’ve written about Allison Kasper before in this column, but while I try not to list the same bands, this will be Kasper’s first show in nearly eight months. She rocks, her band rocks, and she’s one more artist on the list of excellent new musical talent in Memphis. Don’t miss it.  About The Author Wesley Morgan Paraham is a Memphis native, a University of Memphis graduate, freelance writer and PR professional who spends most of his free time in his Midtown apartment playing video games with his partner.

14th February, St Valentines day, the day for lovers, young and old, chocolate and roses and cheesy cards. Reputed to have begun in ancient Rome around 496AD with the festival of Lupercalia held in mid February. Girls and boys drew names from a box and would become girlfriend and boyfriend for the duration of the festival. Of course the church hijacked it later on, and used it to celebrate St Valentine. A Roman Priest executed for refusing to deny Christ and associated with courtly love. Being UK based we usually think of a dozen red roses and chocolates or champagne. Along with a card extolling our feelings of love. But how do other countries celebrate it? Japan Being Japanese, they tend to complicate it as usual. On the 14th girls give chocolates. However they do this in two ways. The first is called giri-choco and are pre made chocolates. These will be given to friends, family, perhaps work colleagues. Men they don't love romantically. The second type are Honmei-choco, being either more expensive, or traditionally hand made by the girl. Given to their partners, boyfriends, lovers etc. Traditionally men would only accept these from girl they were interested in. On 14th March the menfolk would return the gesture three fold on what is called white day. South Korea The south Koreans, follow pretty much the same pattern as the Japanese. However, on the month after white day, they have an additional celebration called Black day. This is for all those unfortunate enough not to have received gifts on the other days. They get together and eat black noodles. Philippines The Filipino's celebrate in much the same ways as in the West. However, there is also an added incentive for lovers on the 14th. Many municipalities provide free weddings on the day. The cakes, flowers, venue, banquet and even the rings are all provided free of charge. This leads to mass weddings around the country on St Valentines day. Norway Or Valentinsdag in Norwegian. Much like the UK, with meals, roses, lingerie and so on. They do have one old belief that birds mated on this day to bear their offspring. And it's now believed that seeing birds mate is a sign of true love. TBH I don't think I have ever seen birds mating. In fact I am not sure I would recognise what they were doing if I did, assuming the tradition refers to the feathered kind. Sweden Alla hjärtans dag, or All Hearts Day as our Swedish cousins refer to it. They prefer jellied candies and pastries to our traditional chocolates. It has only been an occasion in Sweden since the 60's, so it isn't as widely celebrated as in other countries. Denmark Our Danish friends have a tradition called Gækkebreve , or Snowdrop letter. They send the object of the affection a letter, but sign it with a series of dots for their name. The receiver must try and work out who it is from, and if they get it correct are rewarded with an Easter egg on Easter Sunday. France Hmm, an unusual custom and not exactly the height of chivalry. French singletons would call out to each other across the street to be paired up. But if the mane didn't quite fancy the woman he was allowed to reject her and try again. The sadly outed woman would gather together to burn photos and other reminders of the suitors who had given them the thumbs down, as a sort of group 'therapy'. Eventually the government banned the practise. No doubt some woman felt better burning the real item rather than the photo. This early form of speed dating was christened "une loterie d’amour", the lottery of love. Wales The Welsh evidentially, don't traditionally go in for St Valentine. Their nearest version is Saint Dwynwen's day on 25th January. Here the men present a gift of a wooden spoon to their love interest. Various symbols and patterns with special meanings were carved into the spoon. A strange custom when presenting a wooden spoon elsewhere usually has negative connotations. Argentina Those randy Latinos can't manage with just the one day. They drag it out a whole week, starting on 13th and running to the 20th, sweetness week encourages the swapping of kisses for candy. The week ends with friendship day so no one is left out. South Africa The Springboks mirror the UK with a lot of the Valentine celebrations. However they do also follow in the footsteps of the original Roman celebration by pinning the names of their lovers on to their sleeves. Luckily they don't follow the original rules to closely, as the Romans would sacrifice goats, then run through the streets naked, whipping the women folk to increase their fertility. Most of the countries around the world have adopted the Western celebration of St Valentines day, with flower giving, chocolate and other gifts. Some Islamic countries are rather hostile to the holiday, and some outright ban it. If you want a Valentine treat for your staff, a party or even as a private service for your loved one, many of our treats such as Churros, Valentine crepes, doughnuts can be made with a pink dough to suit the occasion, or we can supply melted pink chocolate as a topping.
