(He devoted his 2020 book This Isn’t Happening, excerpted here, to the same premise). Steven Hyden, for example, has long advanced the idea-via outlets like Billboard, Grantland, etc.-that Kid A changed the paradigm, not only at the level of music consumption, but also with respect to how the entire music-opinion ecosystem operates. Of course, culture pundits haven’t exactly held back from making bigger-picture connections. Which is not to say that we shouldn’t read between the lines to spot the unease that attended our transition into a new millennium, but only that we should be cautious in doing so. Kid A, on the other hand, remains strangely untethered from time. Listening to both albums in hindsight, OK Computer dates itself with elements that telegraph the ’90s sensibility it was born out of. In a sense, you could say that the digitized froth at the beginning of album opener “Everything In Its Right Place” was the sound of the future arriving at our doorstep. As much as OK Computer had been heralded as a turn into the uncharted-a signpost pointing the way to the future-the sound the band introduced in October 2000 with Kid A was something else entirely. Still, no one (perhaps not even the band themselves) had any idea how radical Radiohead’s next move would be. Radiohead circa 1997 hadn’t become a quote-unquote progressive rock band, but their music was progressive in a broader sense. Never mind that that’s an oddly definitive declaration to make while you’re living through a moment-the fact is, OK Computer spoke to something deep and pervasive running through the nervous system of modern culture at the time, and the framing of the album as a ’90s answer to Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon made sense on a number of levels. In OK Computer, critics saw an era-defining work that we would forever look back on as a crucial turning point in the evolution of music. No surprise, then, that both “Man of War” and “Nude” slotted right in with the style and mood of OK Computer, an album that generated rapturous, near-universal praise from a music press that was eager to anoint Radiohead as the future of rock. But setting aside the fact that “Nude” did resurface years later, it wasn’t actually a new song, either. Likewise, the live footage that closes out the film, a Radio City Music Hall performance of the “new” song “Nude,” is supposed to leave the audience with a tingle of suspense, a device set up to have viewers thinking “I wonder what they’ll do next” as the credits roll. The inclusion of this work-in-progress turns out to be something of a fake-out, though, as the song in question, titled “Man of War,” had already been recorded multiple times dating back to 1994. Towards the end of the Radiohead documentary Meeting People Is Easy, which captures the English quintet growing increasingly confined within the comet trail of hype following their third album, 1997’s OK Computer, the audience gets a glimpse of the band in the studio in what appears to be a foreshadowing of things to come.

It wouldn’t be a secret ghost town if I told you exactly where it was, would it?īecause those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind. Here’s one of them… but I won’t tell you where it is, you’ll have to ask in the comments, mwahaha. These beautiful people have shown me mysterious places.

At least in Olympia, it seems that almost anything goes, and I’m pretty grateful I can be my true self without worrying about others. Though I have not revealed my full self to everyone I have met, I have been authentic and true to who I am.

South Dakota has no shortage of historic tourist attraction ghost towns, complete with gift shops and tour guides. I’m having fun, dancing through life, and this is who I am. I line dance in uncanny places, snort when I laugh (sometimes), make super weird nosies (I can sound like a dolphin/alien from “Signs”), and am not really the most coordinated or directionally astute human being.īut, I don’t care. Sometimes, I am just plain ol’ making a fool of myself. Sometimes, I can’t quite find the right words to say. So, I bought a lot of cooling mats, tested their cooling effects and how they work, and finally made this list. The higher the battery temperature, the faster the power is lost and the rest of the machine will degrade.Įspecially in the fierce game play, if the internal temperature of the laptop is too high, it will seriously affect its performance. When you want to improve the high-end performance of your notebook, the most important thing is to dissipate heat. It is thinner, better and less expensive.Recently, I have researched a large number of laptop cooling pads, because I found that laptop cooling has seriously affected my computer performance. Well, it looks as though they addressed the minor issues I had. The price, though reasonable, may be higher than some competitors In my previous review I said the following:Įven though this is a very effective solution, it could be even better They now cost five dollars less, $24.95 at the Xpad4Laptop site. And you can buy them for less than the original. They don’t use any electricity such as USB powered laptop pads with fans, they have no moving parts and are light, strong and unobtrusive. I have no doubt both it and the new Slim will last a long time. As for durability, after thrashing the original for a year and a half, and letting my kids beat on it (and my poor laptop), the Xpad has held up extremely well. It is thinner, lighter, and dissipates heat just as well, if not better, than the original. I found the Xpad Slim to be excellent, and slightly better than the original, which I have loved. Yet they are made with non-slip rubber and hold the laptop well. The original model’s corners were solid, but these are vented, which allows air to diffuse through them, thus providing enhanced cooling. The four legs of the “X” are now designed differently as well. Top: original is less wide than the new Xpad slimīoth universal designs accommodate laptops up to 17″, but the new, wider design allows the user to spread their legs and be more comfortable. Top left: Xpad slim – Top right: original Top left: Xpad Slim – Top right: original Top left: new, slim design – Top right: original design Both fit well under my 15″ laptop (see pictures below): The new, slimmer model, weighs less than a pound and has dimensions 14.5″ x 10.5″ x. The original weighed 1 lb, and had dimensions 13″ x 10.5″ x. The first difference I noticed about the Xpad Slim is the size. So does the new, slimmer version, improve upon the old design? It’s light and strong, and provides a great base for computing. Just take it out of the box, put it on your lap or a desk, put your laptop over it and you are ready to roll. The design itself provides the cooling using passive technology. Inside is a strong platform with insulative air pockets, and EVA insulation material at the bottom provides a third layer of insulation and acts as the non-skid surface.” The Xpad for Laptop, as I said in my previous review, works like this: “The legs of the “X” shape are raised slightly above the base of the unit, allowing airflow and cooling. As you know, laptops get mighty hot – up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit – and uncomfortable sitting on your lap. In January of 2008 I had the pleasure to review the Xpad for Laptop, a nonslip laptop cooler and heatshield, and I have used it ever since. When Oprah mentioned “Invictus” in her talk, she was talking about how she has spent her life becoming herself. Because of that, this poem, whatever its quality, will always be special to me. Reading those words as he sat next to his father’s hospital bed gave my husband hope and resolve during that time. I first heard this poem when my husband found it as the last thing his father had read before rushing to the ER with a weird pain and severe illness, and ended up spending a month in the ICU nearly dying then recovering from necrotizing faciiatis and septic shock. I also think that our relationship to poetry also has a lot to do with where we hear it and when it comes to us. Henley doesn’t end this poem saying, “I know everything will turn out okay.” He says, no matter what happens, “I am the master of my fate. “I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul.”Īlso, I think it’s not falsely optimistic. Henley was writing in the mid-1800s, so it’s not surprising that this is written with an ABAB rhyme scheme in iambic pentameter, but I think this poem is accessible still because despite this formal structure, it’s still so raw: I am the captain of my soul” is very popular among positive thinkers, motivational speakers, and inspirational meme makers the world over. The final couplet, “I am the master of my fate. Like William Henley said, be the master of your fate and the captain of your soul.I was reminded of this poem after listening to Oprah being amazing on her podcast today. Find out what it is you want and go after it. Fight against adversity and surpass any walls that try to stop you. So Fight against wind, currents and storms. At times it will be hard but like the saying goes, a smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. You can go through life floating, you can let the seas of life carry you every which way with the power of its currents, or you can take hold of your boat and consciously direct your life in the direction you want it to go. We also have some say in the direction, we are all co-creators of our own lives giving it shape and form.Įven if we don’t know it, we are all going somewhere. Fate and destiny play a role but these things alone don’t decide the course of our lives. Go after your dreams and like Emerson said, “trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.”Įven with awareness, it is still necessary to take action in support of one’s destiny. You can blindly believe in fate and think that things will work themselves out, and sometimes they do, but when it comes to our futures and our dreams I think it’s best to take responsibility for them. Express yourself and don’t be ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents. It’s up to you to find out what your power is and what it is capable of. With every new human being new gifts and powers come into this world and no one knows what this power can do. Find what your gift is then cherish it like one. These power and gifts are unique to every individual, expressing itself in different ways, shapes and forms. We all have unsurmountable power within us, gifts waiting to be opened. We should act like plants and allow the light to enter our being and we have to find the nourishment we need to GROW and BLOOM. Put your heart into your work and do your best. You have to carefully cultivate yourself, with detail and precision and a hell of a lot of hard work in order to become what you want to be. You are given your life when you come into this world then you must work to make it. “though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given tho him to till.” You have to truly put in the work and life will re-pay you. In the path of YOUR unfoldment, in YOUR growth as a human being, there can be no progress without sacrifice. Envy is ignorance and imitation is suicide. Don’t work off the salvation of others, find your own salvation. Be honest with yourself and dance to the beat of your own drum. it’s worth it when you are rewarded with happiness. It won’t be easy to become your dream but I promise you it will be worth it. You have to travel on this path of unfoldment, with courage, with love, looking everywhere for enlightenment, and you must have a steadfast refusal to give up on your dream. What are you made of? Who are you? What do you really dream of? To know you have to identify within yourself what it is you want out of your life and who it is you want to become.It sounds simple yet it’s not. Musical keys in the minor scale are popular in dance music, and many big room / mainstage tracks are made using this scale.A musical key is a scale plus the first note in the scale: For example, if you are playing the minor scale of A (A B C D E F G), the musical key is A minor.There are a ton of music scales, but the most common are the major and minor scales, which are made up of seven notes, plus the octave (same as the first note, but higher in pitch). You can click on Lock, which prevents changes to be made to a track, Hide to make the notes within a track disappear, and Solo to hear the track by itself. When you click on Chords, you can choose “Add Chord Progression”, and now you’ve got four bars of the grid filled out with a chord progression, which is a sequence of chords within a scale. There are four tracks by default, and you can add and remove as needed. This is all pretty standard stuff, but what sets Odesi apart from everything else out there right now can be found to the right of the screen: Here you’ve got the Chord, Melody, Bassline, and Drums tracks. Odesi looks like a DAW’s Midi editor: You start out with a blank grid in the middle of your screen, and you’ve got a piano keyboard to the left (seven octaves, which we’ll get to in a bit) and a set of drum sounds below it. Shown here is the projects screen that has all your Odesi files. In Use You can use Odesi either as a desktop app (currently Mac only, PC forthcoming), or even using just your browser.

Written by Pat Casey and Josh Miller, and directed by Jeff Fowler, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will hit theaters on April 8, 2022. The film debuted to positive reviews with critics enjoying its bouncy energy and compelling performance from Carrey. Feedback was so negative that Paramount Pictures went back to the drawing board and delivered a look inspired directly by the video games. Director Jeff Fowler returned to helm the sequel, which expands on the characters from the first film while also adding new characters from the games, like Tails and Knuckles. Many lamented the strangely realistic look given to Sonic who sported human-like limbs and eyes. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is the sequel to 2020s Sonic the Hedgehog, with both films based on Segas iconic video game franchise featuring the blue speedster. When the first live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie was announced, the reception of the character's design was poorly received by fans. When asked how he plans on bringing the character to life, Elba responded, "Honestly, I cannot say. Related: Sonic the Hedgehog's First Appearance Wasn't Sonic 1Īs for Knuckles, the announcement that Edris Elba will lend his gritty vocal talents to the character sent waves around the internet. The accomplished voice actor has played the two-tailed fox since 2014, debuting in 2014's Sonic Boom. This year’s show will take place in-person at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on December 8. Fans of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise will undoubtedly be pleased to hear that Colleen O'Shaughnessey will play Tails. Hosted by Geoff Keighley, The Game Awards is the video game industry’s version of the Oscars. Ben Schwartz returns as Sonic while Jim Carrey dons his Doctor Robotnik goggles and mustache once again while James Marsden steps back into the average-joe shoes of Tom.

Eggman attacking the titular hero with a giant robot in the upcoming movie sequel. Paramount Pictures has unveiled a release date for its third Sonic the Hedgehog film, at the. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will see several stars from the original film reprising their roles. A new Sonic the Hedgehog 2 trailer arrives showing Dr. 'Sonic the Hedgehog 2,' left, and 'Smurfs: The Lost Village' Everett Collection. The brief synopsis released by Paramount Productions already confirmed that Knuckles the Echidna (voiced by Edris Elba) will serve as Doctor Robotnik's sidekick as the two villains hunt for a magical emerald that has "the power to both build and destroy civilizations." Sonic and his best friend Tails the Fox must team up to capture the mystical artifact first, otherwise untold horrors could be unleashed upon the world. These freed-up developers will contribute to our other game projects that are being driven towards the next stages of development.In terms of the granular details surrounding Sonic the Hedgehog 2, little is currently known about the film's plot. The project is fully staffed, but we will be able to start scaling down the team size gradually as we progress towards the launch. Even if it hadn’t been rumoured already, it was only a matter of time until Lego and Sega unveiled more Sonic The Hedgehog themed sets after that initial Green Hill Zone set from 2021. "We have started the last major phase of full production to get the game ready for launch later this year.

Shared in a new message with investors, Remedy made clear that Alan Wake 2 is still on track to launch in 2023 as its now entering the last stages of its development.

Depending on how many weeds the player pulled and whether it was done in their own town or another player's town, he will gift the player with a random flower bag, fertilizer, perfect fruit, or an exclusive furniture item as a reward for completing the task. He will maintain a count of the remaining weeds so that the player knows how many still need to be uprooted. Leif may be found in the player's town if more than 50 weeds are present, fast asleep, and if spoken to, he wakes up and asks the player to help pull the weeds.

While his slurred, nasal voice may have recalled Dylan and Roger McGuinn, Petty's songwriting was lean and direct, recalling the simple, unadorned style of Neil Young. The Heartbreakers were a tight, muscular, and versatile backing band that provided the proper support for Petty's songs, which cataloged a series of middle-class losers and dreamers. Instead, they celebrated it, culling the best parts of the British Invasion, American garage rock, and Dylanesque singer/songwriters to create a distinctively American hybrid that recalled the past without being indebted to it. As time progressed, it became clear that the band didn't break from tradition like their punk contemporaries. Compared to the heavy metal and art rock that dominated mid-'70s guitar rock, the Heartbreakers' bracing return to roots was nearly as unexpected as the crashing chords of the Clash. Upon the release of their first album in the late '70s, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers were shoehorned into the punk/new wave movement by some observers who picked up on the tough, vibrant energy of the group's blend of Byrds riffs and Stonesy swagger.
