Came across this on the Radio L’envie IG https://instagram.com/radiolenvie?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= My initial thoughts were, I dug the incessantness of it. Constantly lurching forward. Just as we began to think about calling the cops he got all sexy with the bridge. Is that THE Laura Branigan singing back-ups with him? Then he cooled it down and got all sincere with it n’ shit. If I was the lover I think i’d be convinced.

Released: 1978 LP Charts: #4 R&B, #1 pop From 1975 through 1977, Donna Summer released five albums (including a double album, the splendid Once Upon A Time…). Each of those albums went gold. Combined, they also produced two top 10 pop singles: “Love to Love You Baby” (#2) and “I Feel Love” (#6). Furthermore, in mid-1978, “Last Dance” was also released as a single. It was never featured on a Summer studio album.

When in Paris it’s important to check the hours of operation. Like the first time we went to Au Petit Fer à Cheval and had taken an Uber, from near the Place Vendome over to the Marais, and when the car passed the restaurant, I had seen it. It was closed. I was the only one, but I had seen it. I’d forgotten to check. I mean, I had looked, a few days prior, but I hadn’t looked that closely.

Chelsea were looking for back-to-back wins for only the 2nd time in the league this season to try to build momentum finally. It was on a tough away day against Luton Town where every team finds it hard to get points from. Let’s see how that unfolded… Chelsea lined up with their usual 4231 with Broja, Jackson on the left, Palmer as the 10, and Noni given a chance from the start.

One of my favorite novels this year is Mobility, Lydia Kiesling’s cerebral follow-up to 2018’s brilliant The Golden State. It opens in 1998 (one of the years I’m culturally obsessed with, alongside ‘97 and ‘99) when a 15-year-old American named Bunny Glenn spends the summer in Baku, Azerbaijan, thanks to her father, a roaming diplomat. Years later, despite her progressive values, she finds ways to morally justify a succesful career in the oil industry.

This week I had the opportunity to spend a couple hours with Lynda Barry. Lynda Barry is a cartoonist, writer, teacher and creative wizard. Her comic Ernie Pook's Comeek was published in a variety of newspapers for nearly 30 years (Drawn & Quarterly reissued a collection called The Greatest of Marlys). She has also written four bestselling and acclaimed creative how-to graphic novels: What It Is, Picture This, Syllabus:Notes From an Accidental Professor and Making Comics.

This is the place for my expert coverage of musical reality TV I've obsessed over since Taylor Hicks's Soul Patrol era, including 'American Idol,' 'The Voice,' 'The Masked Singer,' and occasionally 'RuPaul's Drag Race,' 'SYTYCD,' and other shows!

Some people have different opinions about M. Night Shyamalan's work. Still, the same may be said about Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, David Fincher, and Paul Thomas Anderson. Shyamalan is known for his particular style of filmmaking. But what appeals to us the most about Shyamalan movies? When I originally became aware of Shyamalan, I was still in high school. I was given a VHS video of 102 Dalmatians (2000) by a classmate, for whatever reason I can't recall, but I fast-forwarded the movie straight through and ended up watching one of Shyamalan's earlier films, Praying with Anger (1992).
