#the thirteenth warrior (1999)

[fshoulders]

Me: Oh no.

Spouse: What?

Me: Recently I spent about 5 days continuously earwormed with the music to the landing sequence in Alien. It wasn’t bad! I love that music! When I wasn’t trying to sleep. Anyway, rewatching Coma with its late-70s Jerry Goldsmith score has…

Spouse: Reactivated your earworm?

Me: We are going in for a landing on LV-426, yes.

Spouse, activating home theatre: The only cure for too much Goldsmith is…

Home Theatre: 🎼Thirteenth Warrior Soundtrack🎶

Spouse: MORE GOLDSMITH!!!

Twilight Characters and Their Favorite Disney Channel Original Movies

Bella Swan: High School Musical (2006)

A lover of the classics, Bella was one of the kids who found Gabriella’s misunderstood brilliance inspiring. If only Bella could find a guy who wasn’t quite what he seemed on the surface, then she’d really have it all...

Edward Cullen: Phantom of the Megaplex (2000)

A 17-year-old straight white male protagonist? A poorly done Disney homage to a classic horror story? A happy ending where everyone gets a fun success story? All good things, in Eddie’s personal opinion. 

Esme Cullen: Mom’s Got a Date with a Vampire (2000)

Esme loves a bit of a joke, especially one that has a decently adorable ending. While vampires are depicted as the villains in this movie, it’s hard to take it personally since it’s early Disney Channel and therefore incredibly corny.

Carlisle Cullen: Halloweentown (1998)

A big fan of both goofiness and spookiness, Carlisle thinks the concept behind Halloweentown is wonderful. Scary creatures that are really very nice? Sounds familiar. This movie reinforces all the best parts of the Cullen Clan’s “Vegetarianism” to the family patriarch. 

Emmett Cullen: Jump In! (2007)

Singing. Sports. Romance. Corbin Bleu. This movie has it all, what more is there to say?

Rosalie Hale: Avalon High (2010)

When Avalon High came out in 2010 with a blonde leading lady who ran fast, had a sassy but mopey sidekick, and fell in love with a handsome himbo, Rosalie knew she had a new favorite Disney Channel Movie. Avalon High quickly replaced her previous favorite, Cadet Kelly (2002).

Alice Cullen: Teen Beach Movie (2013)

She can’t help it! The whole aesthetic reminds her of her early years with Jasper. Not to mention the ending is totally predictable!

Jasper Hale: The Cheetah Girls (2003)

Finally a diverse cast! Doing his best to learn about intersectionality from his new family, Jasper finds himself very attached to the Cheetah Girls; a kickass group of ladies from all different backgrounds who come together to make music and achieve their dreams. He’s seen all the sequels. He has a cheetah print cowboy hat. 

Charlie Swan: High School Musical 2 (2007)

Don’t tell Bella but that dumb little musical movie she watched with him one summer might have made it onto his DVR...

Jacob Black: Get a Clue (2002)

What? You’re really gonna judge Jacob for this? It was a good movie, okay? Lindsay Lohan deserved better. She was talented and this was a great role for Brenda Song, too. Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior (2006) is a close second favorite. 

Mike Newton: The Thirteenth Year (1999) 

A movie that Disney ran well into the late 2000′s, The Thirteenth Year always resonated with Mike. Wouldn’t it be so cool if you suddenly found out you were a mythical creature!? That would be so fuckin’ cool!! Could you imagine just like...being a merman?? Or like a vampire or a gnome or some shit??

Gambling And The 20th Century Rulers Part 3

Mao Zedong   188xoso (1893-1976)

Mao Zedong was conceived on the 26th of December, 1893, in the town of Shannon of Hunan Province arranged in the south of the nation. Incredible helmsman, progressive - Marxist came to control in 1949 when betting was illegal in the nation. The maker of radical China did rather a great deal for getting into the rundown of the sternest leaders of the twentieth century; in any case, as a warrior against betting industry Mao didn't separate himself in any capacity, basically leaving the boycott in power. To be honest speaking, Mao had increasingly significant issues in the nation.

Kim Ir Sen

(1912-1994)

The maker of North-Korean socialism was conceived on the fifteenth of April, 1912, close to Pyongyang. The creator of Korean tenet about Juche and supporter of Marxism-Leninism was not an admirer of betting. During the standard of Kim Ir Sen activity of betting houses was impossible, nonetheless, the child of the incomparable North-Korean boss Kim Chen Ir after his dad's demise despite everything opened a gambling club. Well known Chinese mogul Stanly Ho helped him with opening of the main betting house in 1999. In spite of the fact that, it was not took into account natives to play in North-Korean gambling clubs, however there are a ton of Chinese players there.

Fidel Castro

(1926)

Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz was conceived on the thirteenth of August, 1926 out of a Cuban settlement of Biran. Since youth Fidel was a deliberate youngster, seeing his goal in the battle for freedom of the Cuban individuals.

Before the triumph of the upheaval during the standard of Batista every single Cuban gambling club had a place with Americans. A specialist of the acting president on betting industry was as a matter of fact Meyer Lansky, a famous American hoodlum.

Castro came to control on the first of January, 1959, when enduring an onslaught of the progressive armed force under his order the autocracy of Batista was finished.

Having gotten solidly settled in power, right off the bat, in 1959 Fidel Castro restricted betting industry - and he had his own purposes behind that: battle against Americanism. From the finish of February till May of 1959 gambling clubs were opened for quite a while, however completed their bookkeeping periods with negative outcomes and were eventually and unquestionably shut down.

Up to this point in one of the most excellent nations of the world pulling in huge vacationer streams there are no gambling clubs. For what reason is it so? This inquiry ought to be, clearly, routed to the Cuban president.

Saddam Hussein

(1937)

Saddam Hussein was conceived on the 28th of April, 1937, in the Iraqi town al-Awja in the south of Tikrit locale. He came to control in 1968 and changed the life of the nation to the point of being indistinguishable. While he was in power Iraqi turned into the recognizable force in the Near East, yet Hussein "become well known" not for this. Slaughter concerning Kurds, war against Iran, control of Kuwait, maximal conceivable autocracy set the name of the conceived in neediness kid on the primary page of the book about bleeding violations of the twentieth century.

Toward the start of Saddam's standard there was opened a race track in the nation, just as a club the presence of which is so hard to trust in currently just as in the way that Hussein was at one time the closest companion of the Soviet government.

In 1979 Saddam prohibited rounds of possibility. Furthermore, simply after topple of the rule Near-eastern despot, there were gradually opened betting houses. Shockingly, yet they were opened by Russian business visionaries.

Saddam Hussein is at present in Iraqi and is anticipating the legal sentence regarding various allegations introduced.

Mellow Candle - Swaddling Songs UK Album 1972 Advertise Poster 

Mellow Candle were a progressive folk rock band. Principally Irish, the members were also unusually young, Clodagh Simonds being only 15 and Alison Bools (later O'Donnell) and Maria White 16, and still at school, at the time of their first single, "Feelin' High", released in 1968 on Simon Napier-Bell's SNB Records.

By 1972, the lineup had expanded to include Dave Williams on guitar, Frank Boylan on bass, and William Murray on drums. With this lineup in place, the band released their only album, Swaddling Songs (Deram Records), which was commercially unsuccessful at the time. Over the years, however, the lone album by the band has received considerable critical acclaim and original vinyl copies are now very valuable. Boylan was later replaced by Steve Borrill (ex-Spirogyra), but shortly afterwards the band split up. After the band's dissolution, Simonds worked with Thin Lizzy, Jade Warrior, and Mike Oldfield. Boylan played with Gary Moore, while Murray contributed to albums by Kevin Ayers, Amazing Blondel, Mike Oldfield, and Paul Kossoff.

In 1991, "Silver Song" was covered by All About Eve as a B-Side to some versions of their single Farewell Mr. Sorrow.

1996 saw the release of The Virgin Prophet, a collection of previously unreleased material by the band, including early versions of many of the songs later released on Swaddling Songs. Some of these sessions featured Richard Coughlan of Caravan on drums, although his sessions do not feature on "Virgin Prophet".

In 1996, Simonds recorded Six Elementary Songs, released in 1997 on the Tokyo-based Evangel Records.

In 1999, Simonds recorded a version of Syd Barrett's setting of the James Joyce poem "Golden Hair" for Russell Mills album "Pearl and Umbra". 2006-7 saw the participation of Simonds in a musical project called Fovea Hex, alongside Brian Eno, Roger Eno, film composer Carter Burwell, Andrew McKenzie of the Hafler Trio, Steven Wilson, Colin Potter (of Nurse With Wound), Robert Fripp, Percy Jones, and others. The project has been favourably reviewed by Pitchfork Media. Also in 2006, Simonds performed a version of "Idumaea" for Current 93's album Black Ships Ate The Sky, and a version of "Cockles and Mussels" for Matmos's ep "For Alan Turing".

In 2006, O'Donnell was reunited with Dave Williams and Frank Boylan on the album Mise Agus Ise. She followed this with the 2008 EP The Fabric of Folk on Static Caravan (a collaboration with English folk/rock band The Owl Service), and her debut solo album, Hey Hey Hippy Witch, released at the end of 2009 on Floating World.

Despite the fact that after thirty years "Swaddling Songs" is less of a challenge to listen to than it would have been in 1972, it still stands as a most brilliant documentation of the childhood lives of Clodagh Simonds and Allison Williams.

Having grown up in the strict Holy Child Convent School in Dublin, the two women were forbidden to listen to rock music, but listened covertly to Radio Luxembourg each night. Only when Simonds began writing a succession of hymnal pop tunes on her parents' piano did the two lives begin to converge.

After several false starts, Mellow Candle began to record "Swaddling Songs" in 1971 after moving to London, when Simonds was only eighteen. Though apparently not many songs had been written by Simonds herself, the results were amazing even after thirty years.

"Heaven Heath" and "Messenger Birds", both written by Allison Williams (née O'Donnell) Simonds' longtime schoolmate, added a contrasting touch to the album. Retaining the hymnal flavour of Simonds' songs, they are nontheless much odder in their melodies and rhythma, especially "Heaven Heath"'s brilliant harpsichord line, but retain the accessible melodies and amazingly beautiful vocals. "Messenger Birds" sets the mystical tone of the album - remiscent in places of Kate Bush's work on "The Ninth Wave" in its tale of travelling across the sea.

"Sheep Season" with its long instrumental outro and "Silver Song" (once covered by My Bloody Valentine) show the typical Simonds style of haunting and atmospheric pop tunes, not at all folky in instrumentation or sound. "Dan The Wing" was an amazing drama about evil, beating Laura Nyro's "Eli And The Thirteenth Confession" or Kate Bush's "The Dreaming" for explicit imagery of the Devil. "Break Your Token" was an upbeat, festive rocker, whilst the amazing overlaying of a guitar solo and beautiful vocals on "Lonely Man" was worth the price of admission alone. The closer "Boulders On My Grave" continued in that vein with Clodagh and Allison repeatedly chanting "Do do do do", "La la la la" and "Na na na na" in perfect harmony.

The album's centrepiece, though, was the amazing, chilling, piano-only "Reverend Sisters", in which the women's beautiful voices matched Simonds' amazing piano line and lyrics describing brilliantly the women's strict religious upbringing and its effects on them - almost a taste of Tori Amos twenty years before the fact. "Reverend Sisters" was remarkably honest yet not a preachy attack on religion - it was a matter-of-fact tale that will always amaze those fortunate enough to hear it.

"Buy Or Beware" and "Vile Excesses" rounded of the album excellently. Because of the (for its time) very difficult lyrical imagery, "Swaddling Songs" never charted and would not have been warmly received by critics. Mellow Candle soon disbanded and Simonds spent most of the 1970s working as a session singer.

Nonetheless, the beautiful, almost medieval-like vocal harmonies in "Swaddling Songs" were and unlike anything else in rock. Though the album has been seen as a folk album, "Swaddling Songs" in fact lacked any normal "folk" characteristics and was basically pure pop in charcter. Yet, the medieval and intensely mystical atmosphere of the record makes it a true sonic marvel of beauty and simple melodies.
