cool DL’s new album, Dennison Point, is a directly up autobiography about his experience being transferred to east London as a kid, after having gotten into a bit of difficulty in his former home, sharing a bedroom with his sibling in an apartment or condo with his daddy as well as his father’s new wife. There’s a genuine danger when you get this certain in your stories that people won’t identify, however like Fresh prince who had to step in with his Uncle as well as Aunty in a new hood, cool DL does a great task at bringing us into his life as well as making us care.
So, I’m doing something I nearly never do here: Recommending a rap album by a UK artist. Smooth as well as jazzy production, it recalls the early ’90s days of native Tongue, when rap had a message without being heavy handed as well as didn’t have to verify exactly how difficult it was all the time.
Good stuff.

The much more I think about Ant-Man, the much more I like it. It’s been treated as a poor cousin of the marvel film universe, not tying into the big Avengers franchise, but that gives it the ability to operate on its own as a much more stand-alone “man finds his destiny through acquiring powers and learning to help others” film. and the cast was talented — Paul Rudd as the lovable loser, former thief Scott Lang; Michael Douglas as the jaded scientist Hank Pym seeking revenge for the sake of the world; and Evangeline Lilly as the overlooked daughter, protected “for her own good” by the men in her life (who need to instead let her find her own abilities).
The premise is as expected: Lang learns to shrink and work with ants over the course of the film, eventually leading up to a number of action set pieces as he works to stop Corey Stoll, the generic businessman bad man who’s stolen Pym’s invention. I’m curious to view the film again, to see what details emerge.
Marvel has now announced that the film will be available on Blu-ray (list price $33), DVD ($30), and Blu-ray combo pack ($40 for 3D Blu-ray, conventional Blu-ray, and digital copy) on December 8. The HD digital version will be available a month early, on November 17, through Disney films Anywhere. special features on the Blu-ray and DMA include:
Making of an Ant-Sized Heist: A How-To guide — set your view and count down the action in this fast-paced behind-the-scenes look at how to pull off a heist movie, including Scott Lang’s funny heist “family,” Ant-Man’s costume, plus amazing stunts and effects.
Let’s go to the Macroverse — Shrink down to size in this fascinating look at creating the world from Ant-Man’s perspective, from macro photography through the subatomic.
WHIH NewsFront — A hard-hitting collection of content, including a peek at the future of Pym Technologies with Darren Cross, anchor Christine Everhart’s interview with soon-to-be-released prisoner Scott Lang on his notorious VistaCorp heist, and more.
Plus deleted scenes, a gag reel, and commentary by director Peyton Reed and Paul Rudd
One of the best parts of the film was Michael Peña as Lang’s heist buddy Luis, who has a great, humorous way of narrating his plans. That method figures in the new home video trailer, as shown here:

This album makes me desire I liked Lou Reed’s music more. people who sing Lou Reed tunes noise so hip. as well as that goes double for people who dig into the velvet Underground catalog. I don’t dislike Lou’s stuff, it’s just a bit inaccessible for me. It never makes me feel anything. except his “New York” album. liked that one.
But this isn’t about that. This is about hipster covers of Lou.
Amanda Fucking Palmer, formerly of the Dreseden Dolls, has the punk cred to pull this off.
The album is mainly live, as well as she doesn’t try to pull out strange tunes or prevent the expected: She covers walk on the Wild Side, waiting on My guy (best cut on the record), Satellite of Love, I’ll Be Your Mirror, as well as ideal Day. She doesn’t do Heroin, however I’m fine with that. That tune makes me want to die.
The album was recorded live, as well as it’s got a wonderful, warm feel–and fantastic noise quality.
I liked it, as well as I’m not a Lou Reed fan. So you’ll most likely dig it, too.
If Lou Reed was making indie rock it would sound like this.

THE biggest OF ALL TUNES (G.O.A.T.) is a series of posts, creating my 100 preferred tunes of all time. The master listing is here, as well as I update it about every two weeks or when I have one more 10 tunes or so.
Today we’re celebrating Steve Winwood, born may 12, 1946!
Back in the High Life. It was a monster hit in the ’80s, and, damn it, it’s a excellent tune. Not to mention that, other than LL great J’s mom stated Knock You Out, it’s most likely the very best career-reviving tune in history.
By 1986, Steve Winwood had been in a number of blockbuster supergoups: The Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, as well as Blind Faith—all of which had major traditional rock hits. He had likewise had a few hit records—as late as 1982’s speaking Back To The Night—but the truth was that he wasn’t as famous as many of the people he had come up with. Eric Clapton had a number of significant albums in the 1980s as well as was working with Phil Collins, who was the biggest solo act around. Stevie Nicks’ solo career was likewise on fire. Roger Waters was selling out Madison Square Garden. So when Windwood recorded his multiple-Grammy winning album, he may have had something to prove—that “all the doors that closed one time, will open as well as let me in.” as well as they did. Oh, as well as by the way, that’s James Taylor singing with him in harmony.
But Steve Windwood has actually decades of material to weed out. stuff with Spencer David Group, Blind Faith, Traffic…So, if I’m trying to narrow my listing to no more than two tunes by any type of one artist, what’s my #2?
It’s obvious.
Gimme Some Lovin, which bit Stevie Windwood recorded with Spencer Davis group (and Eric Clapton) at the age of 16. Twenty Years before he was Back in the High Life again.
Back in the High Life Covers: I like the Warren Zevon version, as well as I likewise like Nell “Gimme a Break” Carter’s version. however for extremely different reasons.
Gimme Some Lovin’ Covers: Olivia! Olivia! My guiltiest pleasure! as well as Hanson!
