Alright I just finished TAZ: Ethersea so imma do a quick ranking of the seasons. Disclaimer I don't hate any of them since they all made me laugh a shit ton even if I don't fully love where certain plots and stuff went.

1. Balance. She's iconic. We love her. I feel like if this isn't your number one you're a liar. I think Balance was really lightning in a bottle and I don't expect any series to be exactly the same.

2. Graduation. Apparently this is a controversial opinion and a lot of people hate graduation? I don't understand like how can you hate a show where Phesto, Rainer, and Fitzroy exist. Of course it's not above criticism but I feel like people hate it just bc Griffin isn't the DM.

3. Amnesty. Was a weird hard turn after Balance since they were eway more limited and lived more in a community. It was really fun beginning to end I just disagree with some character choices made near the end *cough* Duck and Minerva.

4. Ethersea. I think Ethersea had a strong start and there were so many good comedic bits in it, but I think that it ended too abruptly. I don't know if it ending was planned at that moment or if the events in the last arc made it end. It could've benefitted from one more arc imo. The ending kinda confused me but maybe it'll clear up for me in the wrap up. Also I love Travis, I really do, but Devo became too insufferable for my taste even if that was the point.

5. Commitment. Commitment was a fun mini arc and I hope they go back one day.

6. Dust? I guess I need to watch season 2 of Dust but season one didn't really leave much of an impression on me cuz I thought I was a rollover one like commitment.

93 ’til infinity and beyond

Hip hop royalty celebrate 30 years of their iconic 93 ’til infinity album at the Hollywood Theatre - Post by Mark Lynch (aka Linchi)

Earlier this month I hobbled along to the Souls of Mischief gig at the iconic Hollywood Theatre on West Broadway having spotted the name of the cali hip hop group in lights on the retro cinema sign above the ticketing desk. I’d recently arrived in Vancouver, so this felt like the shot of nostalgia I needed, and having injured my knee during a close encounter with the Skytrain escalator the previous Saturday, I needed all the disseshowedo dopamine I could get.

After spotting the sign I scoured the internet for tickets only to be disappointed to find out both shows were sold out so I made a mental note to check in on the way back from beers in the city to see if I could cop a late ticket on the door. After a couple of pints in the hazy sunshine at R&B brewing I jumped on the 99 towards Kitsilano. I made a quick exit from the back of the bus, wadded through wafts of smoke and approached the doorman who agreed to let me in at face value. I grabbed a pint of lager and made my way to the front.

93 dates from 93 ‘til

Souls of Mischief embarked on a 93 date world tour in February of this year starting in their home of California before hitting the UK, Europe and a host of cities across the US. The jazz infused, tribe affiliated quartet of Opio, A-Plus, Phesto and Tajai burst onto the stage clad head to toe in matte black tour merch jackets and bucket hats to a warm and admirative reception with some of the more hardcore fans holding vinyl copies of 93 til’ joyously aloft.  

After 30 years, and 74 of 93 gigs this year alone, the group showed no signs of fatigue as they energetically blazed through their uniquely laidback but punchy discography to a backdrop of trippy crawling visuals. The set was polished, engaging and packed with plenty of heart, humour and tales from 3 decades of grateful service to hip hop. The song selection and performance was tight, kicking off with 93 ‘til opener Let ‘Em Know and sliding between 93 ‘til classics and occasional back catalogue indulgences that included numbers from guests in attendance who were charmingly introduced and celebrated. 

On numerous occasions I promised myself (and my knee) that I would stop bopping in the Hollywood theatres steep and sticky pit and take a seat in the cinema seats flanking the crowd but that never happened. I thought that as someone aware of the Souls of Mischief's influence, but only really familiar with their seminal album, there would be a lot of unfamiliar territory and dips through the evening but it was a testament to the groups stage presence and personality that as the show went on it became even more engrossing. 

Hieroglyphic history lesson

About halfway through the night we were given a brief history of the roots of the ‘Hieroglyphics’, an underground hip hop collective made up of the Souls of Mischief and other Oakland acts including Casual and Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, who A-Plus briefly teased was tonight's special guest - causing a collective gasp before revealing it was a rouse. The group called out key contributors and gave hieroglyphic hand signs before A-Plus led some crowd participation for ‘Batting Practice’ with the chorus ‘It’s like this y’all, it’s like that y’all, I swing a hieroglyphic baseball bat y’all’.

‘What a way to go out’

Looking around, the crowd were getting loose, but spirits were kept alive by the crews DJ who followed in the educational theme by mixing a medley of hip hop classics from Grandmaster Flash to KRS-One before a final scratch dropped in ‘93’ til infinity’ sending the crowd wild and teeing the Souls of Mischief up to use their hieroglyphic baseball bats to smash it out of the park. The group ended by graciously thanking everyone who has contributed to their story including the Vancouver crowd, the Hollywood Theatre staff and anyone who has enjoyed their music from those listening back in 93 to those born in 93. 

After the final shout outs I made my way out and limped home with a full heart, reflecting on a night of homage to 30 years of the Souls of Mischief, 50 years of hip hop and a lifetime of gratitude from fans across the globe to an iconic group who created a song, an album and a cultural movement that has lasted the test of time, from 93 ‘til infinity.

#FMSpotlight - The Journey Of Ian Kelly: From Passionate Musician To Landing Big Time Opportunities

A new artist is making his way to the forefront of the music industry. Ian Kelly is a rapper, actor, and songwriter from Oakland, California. His father and grandmother profoundly influenced him as a young man and imparted the concept of community to him. Observing them, Ian realized the importance of helping others and supporting his family during difficult times. Hip-Hop Music Drives Him The introduction of hip-hop to his life soon led Ian to realize that music could be a tool that would fulfill his goals. Combining his family’s values and the introduction of hip-hop to his life is like two sides of a coin. The former provided him with a deeper understanding of the importance of community, and the latter gave him an avenue to express it. At the age of 18, Ian began to develop a passion for music. His cousin commonly shared underground mixtapes from rappers such as 50 cent, Lil Wayne, and local Bay area artists. As a result, his inspiration for writing his own rhymes came from this. Since then, Ian's been committed to perfecting his craft and advancing his abilities. In 2013, the "Take My Time" rapper released his debut album, In The Mean Time. The unique sound of his music became a hit with fans, which began his journey. A Great Deal Has Been Happening For Ian Kelly Many people are unaware that Ian has written music for R&B singers. Among the artists he has worked with are Rapsody, Phesto (member of Souls of Mischief), Jane Handcock, and many others. During his freestyles on Sway In The Morning and Bars Session with Gray Rizzy, the rapper attracted the attention of hip-hop fans nationwide. Queen Latifah praised his work, and he was featured on the soundtrack of the 2015 movie Creed. In addition, Ian's music has been featured on the tracklist for Madden 22 and on BET's premiere of Tyler Perry's The Oval Season 2, Ep. 18 - "Misunderstood." Ian intends to continue releasing music in the near future. Read the full article

Poetics of Makkari pt.1: My Hades

My dearest Hades how the world hates you so

🌹

They curse your name despite your efforts

They scorn your earth despite your pleas

Tuned villain when all you wanted was peace 

My dearest hades I see what they cannot see

🌹

My dearest Hades how misunderstood you are

🌹

Your soft silent touches mistaken for harsh grips and sharpened teeth

My love mistaken for delusion and naïve red herrings 

Your bright intentions mistaken for selfish greed and a numbing heart 

I am sorry I couldn’t say more 

🌹

My dearest hades don’t turn away

🌹

I won’t cry as you return to the world below

Only kiss the ground in hopes you feel my silent call

Only stand alone knowing you’ll return

Even if you forever reject me, know I will one day reach the other side

(I was thinking of adding commentary at the end just to explain some things but I feel like this one is fairly obvious, I still might in the future, show some love <3)

So I just watched Eternals (Phestos and his family and Drukkarri carried that movie) but I had an Idea pop into my head.

What if Jack Frost from Rise of The Guardians was an Eternal who lost his memory (or Mim took it away) before he became the spirit of winter? His power being ice or atmospheric manipulation. And he had a whole Poly thing going on with Druig and Makkarri.

But fast forward, the battle with Pitch is over. (Maybe he's dating Bunny, don't judge me) The Emergence is about to happen so Manny is forced to give Jack his memory back.

He now has to deal with knowing he could've done more during the whole thing with Pitch and the fact that he was brought to this world that he loves to end it. (Also he thinks he's going to have to pick between Drukkarri and Bunny.)

His crook is actually a weapon that Phestos made him that was grown over by a tree (It was made to disconnect into two weapons) and was up there with Thena in combat.

Just something that popped into my head. (Wether frostbunny and Drukkarri ended up in four way relationship or Drukkarri we're completely ok with their boyfriend having a boyfriend is up for debate.)

Edit: I also kinda think Jack's Original name was Jakul (forgot to put it here)
