INTRODUCING LOUIS BARDO BULLOCK: THE SON OF SANDRA BULLOCK

Louis Bardo Bullock, the adopted child of renowned Hollywood star Sandra Annette Bullock, has captured the hearts of many. Sandra Bullock, known for her exceptional talent and starring roles in iconic films such as The Vanishing, Wrestling Ernest Hemingway, and Speed, is adored by a vast fan base.

Birth and Nationality

Louis Bardo Bullock was born on January 10 in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States of America, and is the adopted son of Sandra Bullock, the famous Hollywood star. Louis has a sister named Laila Bullock and practices the Christian religion. He belongs to the African American ethnicity, and according to astrology, Capricorn is his zodiac sign.

Louis Bardo Bullock’s Adoption

Louis Bardo Bullock’s adoption story is one of love, family, and heartbreak. Sandra Bullock had been trying to adopt a child with her then-husband Jesse James since 2006, but their efforts were stunted in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. When Louis was born in January 2010, the adoption process for Sandra and Jesse was finally given the green light. But, by that time, Jesse’s extramarital affair with a tattoo model, Michelle McGee, had gone public, and their marriage was on the verge of ruin.

In the midst of this turmoil, Sandra decided to move forward with the adoption of Louis, becoming his sole parent. For her, Louis was the perfect child who fit in the crook of her arm. Though the adoption process was a bright spot of happiness for her, it was also a difficult time for her former partner, Jesse, who was unable to take care of Louis.

In an attempt to honor the child who brought so much joy to her life, Sandra named him after one of her favorite singers, Louis Armstrong.

Louis Bardo Bullock’s Sibling

Louis Bardo Bullock, known for his own inspiring adoption story, shares a special connection with his younger sister, Laila Bullock. Just like Louis, Laila was also adopted, and their journey as siblings began in 2015 when they welcomed her into their loving family from New Orleans, Louisiana.

Sandra Annette Bullock their devoted mother, had never contemplated the idea of expanding her family through adoption once again. However, a serendipitous moment changed her perspective. During a casual conversation with friends, Louis unexpectedly interjected, confidently announcing that he would soon have a baby. His words struck a chord with Sandra, prompting her to ponder the possibility that Louis had some profound foresight. Reflecting on the timing, she realized that it coincided with the period when Laila, his cherished sister, entered their lives.

The revelation was a turning point for Sandra, leading her to explore the idea of adopting a second child. It was a decision driven by the belief that Louis may have had an innate understanding of their family’s future. Looking back, the remarkable connection between Louis’s proclamation and Laila’s arrival adds a touch of magic to their extraordinary sibling bond, serving as a testament to the profound ways in which families are formed and the beautiful surprises life has in store…Read More

@marieavgeropoulosnews: Today marks 1 year since The 100 ended, a year missing the legend Octavia Blake ⚔️❤️ Without doubt Octavia had some ICONIC and UNIQUE hairstyles, makeups & outfits during the seven seasons and we don't talk enough about it. Which ones were your favourite? 👑

My personal choice would be for the hairstyle some Trikru braids or the braided ponytail of the conclave episode, but the braids from Bardo were awesome too! For the makeup, I can't choose between the Blodreina's red eyeshadow or the one for the conclave. And I think her best outfits are her Blodreina's red and grey armour and all the ones from Skyring (special mention to her Trikru jacket and the blue top we saw briefly by the end of S3) 🔥❤️ Everything after Octavia returned from the anomaly in S6 was lovely too! 🤣

All the makeup team, hairstylists and wardrobe crew from The 100 did it perfectly over the years! 🙌👏

Forever grateful to this show that introduced me the amazing @marieavgeropoulos who nailed her performance on every single scene, without her there's no Octavia Blake 🏆🖤

Stupid headcanons about What if Blind Channel were Argentinian (or How to mix my latest comfort band with the cultural influences of my whole life)

The original post has links and images for all the stuff, but I'll try to put some cultural context in this for the not Latinoamerican fans. (My English is crap, but I guess someone can be interested in this nonsense).

Disclaimer: I'm basing this in the little of their personalities that I figured out with their media content, and probably some fanfic stuff that I've consumed lately (and, mostly, my taste on music and humour). Also, and it's very important, I'm ignoring the fact that growing up in Finland or Argentina must be really diferent.

The song Kilómetros from Los Caligaris would be THE SONG for them 'cause the message fit them so fucking well. And let's not ignore the fact that the band from Córdoba has big circus influences, and mess with different genres. (A live collab with them would be a mayhem, and we'd love it). "There are so many things that can get complicated, but I'd rather die than to stop dreaming" "The same is ten thousand that few people, the important thing is to transmit what we feel"

Soda Stereo would be a big rol model for their expansion beyond the borders.

Some other influences: Carajo, Catupecu Machu, Airbag, Infierno 18, Wos, Roma, Emanero, La Renga, Cabezones.

They would dream of a pogo bigger than the Jijiji one.

They'd love Asspera's cover La Motito de Carlitos (how they could not? it's hilarious and has Chop Suey)

Instead of "I Want it that Way" they would play Mambrú's A Veces. (Mambrú was a pop boyband from earlies 00's and that treasure is their biggest hit)

They'd make a cover of Don (has a iconic guitar solo)

During the promotion of Balboa, they wouldn't forget about the Rodrigo Bueno iconic show in the Luna Park (he was a cuarteto singer -a genre born in Córdoba- who help making it mainstream, and played gigs in a stadium known for the box matches).

Guilty pleasure or not, I think (at least some) the boys would like cumbia villera and the 2010's mainstream. Look, Niko sometimes fit into the aestethic, they seem to not give a fuck about prejudices, and I really enjoy that kind of music. Also, it's fun to imagine Niko playing Hoy Volví a Verte in a nice piano, or the boys dancing in a party.

Joel would wear a Sumo t-shirt, and a "Te quiero pero soy un bardo" one. (I love you but I'm a fucking mess) (Sumo was a post-punk and reggae band in the 80's)

There would be videos of Tommi singing Rata Blanca song, and Los Nocheros while driving. (Rata Blanca is a metal band with amazing songs, and Los Nocheros helped the folckoric music get into mainstream in the 90's).

Olli and Juanes's La Camisa Negra (literally, "The black shirt"). He's Colombian, I know, but his music was everywere and I really like it. Just a lot of IG stories of Olli wearing his stage gear with that song playing?

Nunca quise is the perfect song for Hokka-Porko dinamic. "I never loved anyone as much as you / That is why I begin to doubt / If we will be brothers who were separated / And we unknowingly got back together" "And I'm proud of want to break/your head against the wall"

A LOT of references to Peter Capusotto y sus Videos, and Re Heavy Re Jodido (the first one is a rock themed Argentine humoristic TV program, and "el Heavy" is a comedy character who has a very particular humor that I can't describe but is *cheff kiss*). "If I want to, I go to a Blind Channel gig and I start playing peaceful rock, 'cause I'm so tough, so heavy metal" (that's my sad attemp to make a joke like the "Heavy" ones). Also, doesn't look like the combination of ESC Aleksi and Joel? Can't get it out of my mind.

Alt-pop artist Caroline Romano shares the official music video for her new single, 'PDA of the Mainstream.' 'PDA of the Mainstream' is an anthemic, punk-influenced pop number that gives the middle finger to the internet and all its toxicity. For the video, Caroline worked with director Justin Key to develop a visual concept that captures the familiar feelings of chaos, anger, joy, entertainment and excess that the internet invokes in all of us. “The music video for ‘PDA of the Mainstream’ was my chance to yell directly at the internet,” Caroline says. “I wanted to visually create my own little version of the internet and how I see it, and I think I did that. There’s kittens and confetti and destruction, along with a whole lot of screaming. If that’s not representative of applications and the digital age, I don’t know what is. If I can’t beat it, I figured I might as well smash it with a hammer.”

Following the release of her recent single 'Do This To Me', Manchester-via-Italy singer, songwriter and guitarist Julia Bardo has shared new single and video 'No Feeling', taken from her eagerly awaited debut album Bauhaus, L’Appartamento released on September 10 via Wichita Recordings. 'No Feeling' is a dreamy alt pop song, which builds with a teasing guitar riff to a soaring melodic chorus of earnest and relatable lyrics about the everyday need to do things you don’t want to do and having ‘no feeling’ for them. The video, directed by Georgie Brown, features Julia role-playing different life tasks interspersed with a neon-tinged glam live performance. Julia says; “‘No Feeling’ is about doing things just because you exist, not because you want to actually do them. Because we are trapped in a cycle of rules in society; you must have a job, go out, drink, talk to people, be sociable, believe in something, and do what other people do in order to survive in the world. Sometimes even the most mundane tasks seem too much to handle. For the video, I wanted to portray this idea and set the scene in a white, sterile space, showing how these actions can make us feel stuck in an endless loop of time - going through the same motions every day without feelings or emotions, and how that can build and eventually become out of control."

Nightlife is finally beginning to shine again — especially in New York City where the industry is life blood — and Ariana and the Rose wants to spotlight all the colorful personalities that are bringing everything back, post-lockdown. The synth-pop artist's new single, 'Every Body,' is an electric invitation to the dance floor, recruiting a host of iconic faces for its official music video: Amanda Lepore, Kandy Muse, Cakes Da Killa, CT Hedden, Ryan Burke, Merlot, Rify Royalty and way more. Because "this dance floor is for every body," as she sings, almost like a call to action. "Feel your body on my body." "I wanted to highlight the incredible people and the spirit of the NYC nightlife and LGBTQ+ communities," Ariana says. "Clubs and nightlife have been a home for people who otherwise felt displaced for decades. It is about a chosen family and a sense of community rather than an individual. These are the places that have been a home for me, personally and professionally." In early spring 2020, Ariana had an entire album with tracks she'd planned to release throughout the summer, but COVID forced her to start from scratch and create a body of work that felt more reflective of that bizarre moment in time. The artist then wrote music she dreamt of hearing once the world eventually reopened, capturing "the bigger picture of what the collective feeling was," she says. 'Every Body' is the first official taste of that period, with a relentless hook and powerhouse production that sounds like it could've been conceived while On Top! at The Standard, Meatpacking. Euphoric and aggressive, her single embodies the energy of a year spent bottled up inside, fantasizing about sweating next to strangers and freeing your mind until sunrise. "I want to be the kind of artist who creates space for other people," Ariana says. "Space to connect, either with other people or with themselves, space to feel seen, space to feel uninhibited and to feel safe to do all of those things. 'Every Body' is a mission statement for my project and for the audience to get lost in. No matter who you are, how you identify or where you're from, my musical world and my shows are for everyone to lose or find themselves in." Watch the 'Every Body' music video for some serious "dance music catharsis," filmed at Brooklyn's House of Yes and directed by the Emmy-winning Jason Sherwood. [via Paper]

After introducing her new solo project Flossing with last month’s debut single ‘Switch’, Bodega’s Heather Elle is now sharing her latest Flossing single ‘Trap’. Inspired by the “double binds of both technology and gender”, she notes, “Humanity’s fear of anti-mattering mixed with surveillance capitalism’s psychological warfare is quite the dirty martini to sip on every day.” Accompanied by a video directed by Brooklyn video artist Ali Yildiz of Analog Nation who, during the lockdown, began experimenting with circuit-bent AV gear, video synthesizers, CCTV and VHS cameras, and televisions.

BXB LOVE — the nom de plume of Canadian-born, Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and artist Natasha Pheko — shares the official music video for her second single, 'IGNORANCE SONG'. 'IGNORANCE SONG' is a bold, gritty alt-rock number that celebrates the shedding of one’s prescribed labels in a world that encourages us to define ourselves before fully understand who we are or all that we can be. Landing somewhere between telling a story and visually expressing a vibe, the 'IGNORANCE SONG' music video represents LOVE’s experience of bursting out of the constructs she had created for herself. Finding herself wandering the streets of LA, wanted by the constructs she had escaped, LOVE throws a big F*CK YOU to the powers that be as she refuses to succumb to the fear that would encourage her to hide, blend in, or run. Instead, we see LOVE displaying an uninhibited expression of play, rebellion, and freedom. “One thing that I’ve loved about creating and sharing this project thus far is that it's allowed me to tap into dreams, ideas, and modes of creative play that I hadn’t really connected with since I was a kid. Making this music video was literally an opportunity for me to live out part of my childhood rockstar fantasies” LOVE says. “Smashing shit, shouting into the camera, riding in the back of a sick car with beautiful people, jumping around in the sunset, guitar solos, clothes that made me feel like a bad ass… I mean…. come on! It was a blast!”

Indigo De Souza shares a joyous video for 'Hold U', the new single and a stand-out moment from her much-anticipated upcoming album Any Shape You Take. Of the song and video, De Souza says: "I wanted to write about a really simple kind of love that isn’t necessarily romantic, but that is just about holding space for other people to fully express themselves and to feel celebrated. Just simply seeing someone in their humanity and loving them. We are constantly evolving and we only truly have space to process our lives openly if we feel safe and are encouraged to love ourselves and celebrate our bodies. I am really blessed with the sense of community that I have in my life, and I wanted to highlight that in this video. Community is the purest kind of magic and can heal so much trauma and pain. We all just want to feel truly held by the people around us!"

A lush, swirling guitar tune that gently encourages listeners to face their unconscious bias, Canadian duo Softcult have shared their latest single ‘Spit It Out’. “The song is about rejecting harmful ideologies that we’ve come to accept as normal, even though they perpetuate our own oppression," the band say. "Most people understand that misogyny, sexism, racism, etc are wrong, but don’t often notice when it occurs in our every day lives, in the media, or how we’ve been conditioned to perceive the world. We can even unknowingly become part of the problem because we’ve internalized these ways of thinking. We wrote the song about resisting societal standards which only serve to benefit those that hold power over others. By simply refusing to accept these ideologies, we can weaken the pillars in our society that allow oppression and injustice. It all starts with questioning them in the first place, and then deciding that we aren’t going to continue to contribute to them.” [via Get In Her Ears]

Lazy days in the park, sun-soaked vacays and bike rides around the city: summer is in full effect and we’re living for it. The only thing missing is that perfect soundtrack and singer Devon Again is putting in a strong bid. Dropping her new single 'SUBURBIA', the singer serves up a warming single that captures the essence of summer. Fusing R&B sensibilities with ethereal vocals, the singer creates a kaleidoscopic soundscape filled with bright piano chords and glittering synths. “I wish there was some spicy back story to this song,” the singer candidly said, “But the chorus was really just a shower thought I had upon some brief reflection of a crush I had on a girl a couple years back who was very much not available. The song loosely follows me and my hypothetical suburban lover through our affair. The main theme throughout the song is being upset that she doesn’t love me the way she loves her husband. I want to be the person she comes home to, but instead I go directly to her home and leave when she’s done with me.” [via Wonderland]

Alternative agitator DeathbyRomy returns with the explosive 'Day I Die,' her first new single of 2021. The Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter combines undeniable hooks, brash production, metal riffs, and double-kick pummel on the track, which comes with a mind-melting music video courtesy of director Pix3lface. An anthem for the terminally lovesick, 'Day I Die' finds DeathbyRomy (born Romy Flores) deep in the grips of obsession. “Take all of me, make me feel again,” she laments. “You got something sick and I know I’ll always want it to the day I die.” That’s when the gnarled guitars come crashing in and the song takes a crushing turn. Jarring, catchy, and raw, 'Day I Die' captures an artist already known for pushing boundaries breaking even more new ground. “This song is about my relationship with life, death, and love. ‘Day I Die’ at its core is a love song. Love isn’t soft and mushy to me, it’s hard as fuck. Love is god. It’s vibrant and addicting. Love is what fuels me to do all I do,” says DeathbyRomy.

Viktoria Modesta makes a comeback after five years away from music, perhaps after some well-deserved time in this planet's outer orbit. The icy-blonde bionic superstar’s new single, 'One With The Ray of Light' debuted July 9, and now is joined by the release of an accompanying art film. OWTROL will launch Modesta’s venture into a new chapter that puts art at the core and compromises nothing. From avatars to techno influences, the artist is looking to create a world of her own. The upcoming record, Moksha, was written alongside Grammy winner Janet Sewell and Madeaux, compared to past works, details a more personal narrative into Modesta’s unique life. Coming at this hybrid project with a more hands-on approach, Viktoria has edited, location scouted and styled the film accompanying her single. [via Flaunt]

Alicia Walter has unveiled another track from their forthcoming album I Am Alicia. The Prince-inspired 'Suit Yourself' comes with a music video directed by Falyn Huang. The artist said this about the new song/visual: “'Suit Yourself' is a motivational anthem empowering myself to follow my dreams and do what I want to do in life, “cause babe, this ain’t that long of a ride.” I'm asking myself to stop worrying about what everybody else thinks or about what’s “right,” and to show up for myself and chase my wildest dreams — because the universe might just deliver! In the video, we see me at home, getting up out of bed and becoming who I want to be. We watch as “pretend” — playing dress-up with different personas and careers, dreaming up what I could be —becomes reality, me stepping into my fullest potential (and, *suitably,* a glam power jumpsuit!).” [via mp3 and npcs]

Comprising Dolorès and Freddy Van Ballast, LETTEN 94 is a Swiss coldwave duo that takes this mental image of Letten, and more widely of Europe in the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall, as a starting point to try to create electronic music which is sometimes aggressive and syncopated, sometimes dark and mysterious. The band has dropped new single, 'Empty Landscapes' alongside a captivating music video, directed by Normotone. Subliminally immersive and dangerously alluring, 'Empty Landscapes' is driven by bleak bouncing and throbbing bassline along with stark, lashing beats relentlessly penetrating the droning dank, dream-like mist stabbed by piercing, heart-wrenching guitar gleams, ominous resonant baritone strains and icy sweeps of evocative winding, glaring synths, to painfully reverberate with poignant intensity around powerful and bewitching female vocals, that ebb and flow betwixt cold, detached exhalations and passionate, aching longings of agony and ecstasy, whilst descending breathlessly into the soft distant echo of male whisperings, to reveal an abandon train stop where fantasies are fulfilled. Cinematic visuals build tension and intrigue around an inter-dimensional romantic interlude. A fragmented storyline dissects a mysterious couples physical connection with split-screen segments drawing isolation from both a barren, panoramic countryside and a dim-lit noir-ish lounge setting. Raindrops blur alternate dream states merging, fantasy and reality behind smoky rooms, hypnotic imagery, unfocused lens frames, and suggestive reflections to form a magnetic perception of disassociation. Shadows ebb and flow under swaying light angles to capture hints of doubt from the intense solo eye contact leading into a strange metaphysical reunion, left wandering in the hidden sands of lost time.

London-based artist Alewya has released her new track 'Spirit_X', a mesmerising track indebted to the sounds and communal embrace of the rave. Drawing from the restless rhythms of drum and bass, 'Spirit_X' moves at high speed, with Alewya’s vocals echoing the emotions of a heady night. Alewya says on 'Spirit_X': “I know that the rave can be utilized as ritual and ceremony to transform, uplift and energize a person. I love giving visceral experiences. I love drum and bass for that specific reason. ‘Spirit_X’ encompasses all of the above in my way.” [via FEMMusic]

Sneaker Pimps have shared the video for 'Fighter,' the lead single from Squaring the Circle, their first album in nearly 20 years. The video was directed by the band's own Chris Corner and shot near his studio in Pioneertown, CA and features Janine from IAMX wrapped in a gimp suit and subjected to a downpour of colorful rubber balls. It's a striking video.“We live in a world of mental illness where we are surrounded by profound idiocy and overload," says Corner "'Fighter' is an ode to a struggle to tune out, gain strength and breakthrough. In the video, the character’s fight is ridiculous, there is no other. In the grip of the darkest depression and anxiety the opponent is her own mind. She locks herself in her ring, painting a circle and shrinking her world even further. Freeze, flight, or fight. Self fulfilling prophecies. She's wrapped in a gimp suit because she’s a slave to her own negative narratives. Trapped by vices and triggered by the most innocuous objects. In this world, bouncing balls and balloons become existential threats. But there’s also a faint light of hope. She’s dancing in the face of the full catastrophe of life. She will prevail, she always has. Round 2.” Corner goes on to say, "I shot the video in anamorphic to give it a filmic stretched and otherworldly feel. Soft flares and subtle distortions to add distance, keeping us as the viewer outside of the fighter’s world. My crew spent weeks painting and repainting the set to find just the right queasy color. Repeatedly repacking hundreds of bouncing balls and balloons for shot after shot. Everything you see is on camera. Simple but time consuming. Janine from IAMX was willing to jump into the gimp suit and suffer in extreme desert heat. If you look close you’ll see real sweat dripping down the arms. Everybody worked like dogs for the love of it, this was the ultimate no ego video. Those people are my heroes.” [via Brooklyn Vegan]

Remi Wolf returns with bright, vibrant new single 'Liquor Store'. Laying out her stall with ultra-catchy introductory statement 'Liz' earlier this year, the California native is aiming to release her debut album this Autumn. New single 'Liquor Store' is an explosion of colour, a truly larger-than-life release that actually taps into an extremely personal topic. Dealing with sobriety, 'Liquor Store' is about "shedding a skin", as she puts it. Remi explains: "It's about my journey with sobriety, which has been a major life shift for me over the last year. At the end of 2020, after six months away from the studio, I had a crazy explosive week where all these feelings came pouring out of me — 'Liquor Store' captures a lot of them. It’s my first baby of the bunch and I hope you love it." The video is truly exceptional, a furry world of day-glo tones that has a cartoonish feel. [via Clash]

Cape Town’s HONEYMOAN have just shared the second single from their upcoming Palace EP. ‘False Idols’ combines the best elements from their multi-genre influences and comes with an equally fun music video. Palace arrives August 18. ‘False Idols’ is another infectious offering from HONEYMOAN, beginning with vocals and drums taking centre stage for maximum impact. Later, the song bursts into full colour with electronic pop elements and triumphant guitars. The music video has an 80s sitcom vibe that matches the energy of ‘False Idols’ perfectly. Vocalist Alison spoke about the new single: "'False Idols' is a triumphant story of success, a message to anyone to ever said you couldn’t do it, you were too young, too old, too scared, too whatever but you did it anyway and look at you now" [via Gigwise]

Alt-pop duo Marian Hill is gearing up for something exciting with the release of their newest single 'omg.' 'omg' arrives after June’s 'oOo that’s my type,' their cool girl anthem in collaboration with Yung Baby Tate. The new single is a throwback to the duo’s jazz-injected sound featuring bubbly saxophones with their own trap flair. The chorus bursts into whistles and hi-hats as Gongol sings “Sashay, I’m wearing nothing but my lingerie / It’s all I’ve got til I do laundry,” as a tongue-in-cheek reflection of their raunchy hits. The song arrives alongside a visual which features Gongol writhing around in bed with lingerie on and exploring her home before settling in with an extensive cardboard cutout collection of famous pop stars, including one of Lloyd himself. The video hints at a forthcoming album, although details have not been released yet. ”’omg’ is the first song we’ve ever written that makes us laugh,” share the duo in a statement. “We discovered such a fun zany stir-crazy energy with it, and had so much fun taking the usual sexy Marian Hill vibe to its comedic extreme. As soon as we wrote the song we saw the whole video – the lyrics are basically a script for it.” [via Paste Magazine]

Alessia Cara acts out a silly noir melodrama in the new music video for her recent single, 'Shapeshifter.' The video was directed by Tusk, and in it, Cara plays all the main roles: The jilted wife with the bottomless martini glass, the cheating husband, the clumsy private eye, the gardener and the maid. The clip mainly follows the private eye as he tries to figure out who the husband’s secret lover is, and the mystery ends with a very unexpected and surreal twist, when the investigator catches the husband smooching a figure with a sheep’s head. After stumbling into the pool, however, the PI appears to wake up, as if from a dream, in an ocean far away. [via Rolling Stone]

Anne-Marie thinks Little Mix made 'Kiss My (Uh-Oh)' sound "10 times better" than it did as a solo track. The 30-year-old star has teamed up with the 'Shout Out To My Ex' hitmakers on her latest song, and she was delighted to finally get round to collaborating. She told the Daily Star newspaper's Wired column: "I feel like so many people have been wanting that collaboration. We have actually been talking about it for so long, we sent each other a few songs every now and again, but they never felt quite right. Then I was doing the tracklisting for my album, 'Kiss My (Uh-Oh)' was originally a solo song but I thought they would sound so good on this so I sent it to Leigh-Anne and she said, 'We love it, we are going to vocal it', and made it sounds 10 times better. So now it's a single thanks to them." Anne-Marie also heaped praise on the trio for their work on the music video, not least because Leigh-Anne and Perrie are both pregnant. She added: "Everyone shines and their ad-libs at the end are insane, they kill it. They are very powerful people. In the video they were pregnant, it was quite inspiring to see. I would just be at home eating pizza, so good for them going through it." [via Music News]

Amsterdam-based indie-pop singer-songwriter Sophie van Hasselt has released her single 'EaT mY bRaiN'. This is the first single of her upcoming debut-EP called Eat My Brain which will be released in February next year. This EP is an introduction to different themes that are typical for a girl in her twenties. From layered vocals sounding like inner conversations to bouncing baselines, pulsating pads and quirky guitars playing in the background. Sophie is an interdisciplinary artist who not only creates music, but also works in fashion photography and videography. The combination of these three expertises make her a unique creative mind. Sophie uses her DIY ethic and the 'reality shifting' aspect to remind us that life is as how you imagine it. Her music sounds like the 'Swinging Sixties' and a combination of artists such as Brigitte Bardot, Lily Allen and Beach Boy's 'Smiley Smile'. In 'EaT mY bRaiN' Sophie van Hasselt, a modern flower-child, opens the doors to her highly imaginative world - filled with songs to play, where she lives in day-dreams and quite figuratively 'eats her own brain'.

SIGNS OF REALIZATION AND BUDDHAHOOD ATTAINMENT (RELICS)

According Buddha Dharma in general and Great Perfection (tib. rdzogs chen l རྫོགས་ཆེན།) teaching in particular, after great practitioner is liberated and passes to nirvana, the holy relics are found in the cremation ashes. These are the proof of enlightenment attained in this very life or in the luminous bardo of dharmata (Tib. ཆོས་ཉིད་འོད་གསལ་གྱི་བར་དོ།, chö nyi ösal gyi bardo).  These holy items are the material support of blessing.

According Great Perfection tantras, there are few types of such relics: (1) Bone ones with mantras or icons of peaceful and wrathful deities (tib. Zhi Khro ཞི་ཁྲོ), they mean the liberation in moment of death; (2) "Relics Dung" (tib. gdung གདུང།) mean the enlightenment and liberation in the luminous bardo of dharmata (tib. ཆོས་ཉིད་འོད་གསལ་གྱི་བར་དོ།, chö nyi ösal gyi bardo); (3) "Relics Ringsel" (ring bsrel ། རིང་བསྲེལ།)  mean the rebirth in the pure lands of natural Nirmanakaya.

From Dzogchen Tantra "Blazing Relics" (tib. sku gdung bar ba སྐུ་གདུང་འབར་བ):

གང་དག་མྱ་ངན་ལས་འདས་ན། །དེ་ལ་སྐུ་དང་གདུང་དང་ནི། །དེ་བཞིན་འོད་དང་སྒྲ་ཉིད་དང༌། །ས་ནི་གཡོ་བར་འགྱུར་བའོ། །

   " Those who passed to nirvana would leave behind, in cremation ashes the icons of Bodies and Dung Relics (tib. gdung གདུང ), light and rainbows, earth would shake …"

Further, we read in the same tantra that Dung Relics can be of five colours, referring five buddha families. One of them:

ཤ་རཱི་རཾ་ཞེས་དཀར་ལ་དངས། །སྣུམ་ལ་འདྲིལ་ཏེ་ཁ་དོག་གསལ། །སྲན་མ་ཡི་ནི་རྡོག་འབྲུ་ཙམ། །འདི་ནི་རུས་པའི་དངས་མ་སྟེ། །སྨིན་པས་འདྲིལ་བར་འབྱུང་བ་ཡིན། །ཐབས་ལྡན་དེ་ཡི་མགོ་ལས་འབྱུང༌། །

"Shariram (Buddhist Relics) is pure white, shining, size of pea.  It is the essence, pure core of bones.  On maturing it becomes round and appear from skilful of yogi's head".

Same tantra points later:

རིང་བསྲེལ་ཉིད་ནི་ཕྲ་མོ་སྟེ། །ཏིལ་གྱི་འབྲུ་དང་རྡུལ་ཆ་ཙམ། །འདི་ནི་འབྱུང་བས་བཤིག་པར་ནུས། །འདི་ནི་སྤྲུལ་པའི་ཞིང་ཁམས་སུའོ། །

"Ringsel can be size of sesame seed or speck of dust.  It can be destroyed by elements. This is the sign the one has attained the pure land of Nirmanakaya".

So the Dung Relics are considered to be the most supreme sign as they mean the actual Buddhahood attainment with consequent liberation in Dharmata Bardo.  Ringsel specifies the vision stage attainment (tib. mthong lam མཐོང་ལམ། ), and the last rebirth in natural Nirmanakaya Pure Land.  In these lands the practitioner goes the path of stages and Bhumi (tib. sa lam ས་ལམ།) and attains the final Buddhahood.

Despite of long combustion of cremation pyre, the abode of wrathful deities mandala "Bone Palace" [1] (tib. dung khang གདུང་ཁང།) was not damaged by fire.  Exactly as said in extremely secret Dzogchen tantra cycle “Blazing relics”, many white sharirams were found there of Tathagata family (tib. སངས་རྒྱས་རིགས།), size of pea and bigger.   It specifies the attainment of perfect and manifest buddhahood (tib. mngon par rdzogs par sangs rgyas) in dharmata bardo. More than that, few dark blue bone structures (tib. sku rus) were found among relics, as the sign of Rinpoche’s main yidam realization (Vajrakila).

Lama Karma Phunjok Rinpoche's students had requested H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche Sangye Pema Shepa to compose the "Swift Rebirth Prayer" (tib. myur byon gsol 'debs མྱུར་བྱོན་གསོལ་འདེབས།) and the request was appreciated.  

The Prayer for Lama Karma Phunjok Rinpoche’s Swift Rebirth composed by H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche Sangye Pema Shepa is as follows:

"Holy Guru, exalted Orgyen Kalzang (the name given to Lama by His Holiness Dudjom Jikdral Yeshe Dorje)

Although your enlightened mind passed to non-abiding fundamental space of nirvana,

Please, come back as soon as possible, to protect the beings that are to be tamed and manifest the activity of full liberation in three lands".

During 49 days after Karma Phuntsog passed away, disciples and lamas in Karmarong and Russia performed ‘Three Roots’ practice and ganapuja daily. 

Information about relics and liberation signs found after the cremation ritual which was strictly sealed (tib. gsang rgya གསང་རྒྱ།) and not revealed until the completion of 49th day funeral rituals. 

The purpose of sealing information about the Rinpoche’s holy relics was to avoid any hindrances of Guru’s soonest rebirth in our world.

But let us not forget the complete Contrast of conversations that bellamy had with echo vs the one he had with clarke

with echo he was pretty emotionless, like you could tell it hurt that echo was mad at him and felt like she didn’t know him anymore but he was able to maintain his cool and put the cause above her

but with clarke??? homeboy was a Mess

he was trying So Hard to convince clarke why he was doing this, he didn’t really try to win echo over and get her to understand, but he wants clarke to understand So Bad because its Her that keeps him grounded, she Is the head to his heart and he wants so bad for her to say “yeah, i get it, this is what's right” because he wants that validation and that assurance thats still nagging at him

since i mentioned bellamy being the heart i also wanted to say that i think its interesting to look at his general emotional nature and then compare it to the great lack of emotion the disciples teach

i think the reason this attracted bellamy partly is because his emotions had let him down, or at least he viewed it that way, because he believes that all the bad things he did and all the bad things that happened to him came from him being too emotional, so it makes sense that he would be drawn to this group of rationalists while still being able to uphold his need to protect and save others (for all mankind)

his voice was literally breaking, he was about to Cry because clarke felt so betrayed and was So upset, homeboy was clearly Devastated 

that whole convo just Broke me man it really Hurted what can i say

i also literally had to pause the scene of clarke being tortured like 10 times, i would play it and get upset at my girl being hurt and have to pause it, am i far too emotionally attached to her? yes.

also a real quick fuck you to jason because why the Hell did we not get bellamy seeing the radio calls in clarke’s mind??? it was literally a Perfect time for it

i swear to god if those radio calls are Never brought up again im gonna be Pissed (like do i expect disappointment from jason? yeah, but imma still be pissed)

but i did Love that final scene, clarke really be showing up like “i was gone five fucking minutes how’d you screw things up this much?”

i love murphy’s smile too, like he’s so happy she’s there because he was Stressed about saving everyones lives and he’s like “i haven’t done much of his savior bullshit so lets wait till Carke-i-have-plans-for-everything-and-am-good-at-saving-people Griffin comes back 

also i’m very concerned as to where the rest of the gang went, but since they have the helmets could they use that to find the other stone and get back to sanctum? idk but i worry about them

also we still haven’t seen Gaia, like where the fuck is Gaia? i hope there's as scene with clarke and indra that just goes “where’s gaia?” “i thought you had gaia” “what i thought You had gaia” cuz seriously where is that girl (ALSO who the fuck knocked her out?? and also didn't that person deactivate the sanctum stone? (which i hate that sheidheda has) like i’d really like to go back to that scene we haven’t talked about it in very long and i think its time)

im just really hoping murphy doesn’t die next episode or at all 

like i obviously don’t want any of the gang to die but i just feel like there's too many signs that murphy’s gonna die

when he said “i’m coming back” to emori i was Screaming at my laptop “why would you say that! thats what Everyone says before they Die and Don’t come back!!”

okay those have been thoughts with harleen thanks for tuning in see you in another 3 weeks cuz jason hates us i guess :/
