caroline Release New Single ‘Good morning (red)’

0

London-based eight-piece caroline have released a new single from their upcoming self-titled debut album. ‘Good morning (red)’ follows previous offerings ‘Skydiving onto the library roof’ and ‘IWR’. Check it out below.

Talking about the new track, guitarist and vocalist Mike O’Malley said in a statement:

We wrote the basic electric guitar parts, drums and “Good morning, it’s that time again” vocal line in early 2017 and used to play it as a loop for ages, twice as fast as it is on the recorded version, as this kind of never-ending, triumphant emo song. It felt like there was something to be hopeful for in early 2017. This very damaging political consensus was being challenged and there was a real sense that things could be different. That feeling is maybe best summed up by [guitarist/vocalist] Casper Hughes’ shouting (“Can I be happy in this world? We’ll have to change it, it doesn’t suit us.”) As we got interested in other sounds and recording techniques, we always came back to “Good morning”, reworking it and developing it in line with whatever we were interested in at the time. In its final recorded form, it’s kind of a song in two halves. The first half is how the band started: us playing a long song live in a room. And the second half is more what we are interested in now: different recorded worlds co-existing and colliding with one another. It’s the first song we ever wrote so it’s exciting that people are finally going to hear it in recorded form.

caroline is due out February 25 via Rough Trade.

Do you know which of your favorite celebrities love playing Bingo?

Bingo is a popular game played by virtually everybody. The game’s easy to pick up and provides great fun for children and adults, especially senior citizens. Traditionally, Bingo is played using cardboards with numbers spread across five horizontal rows and columns. The cardboards are tossed to players, and the five columns are labeled BINGO. The center space is blank, and the rest are filled with random numbers.

The game host shouts random numbers from card shufflers, mechanical ball drawers, or electronic devices with random number algorithms. All the players compete to be the first to cross out all the numbers. When players mark all the spaces, they shout BINGO! to announce they’ve won.

Today, there are several options to play Bingo. For example, players can attend events at Bingo halls or buy cards to play at home. Besides, playing Bingo game online is possible without leaving the comfort of their home.

How to Shop Fashion Sustainably and Affordably

Ethical fashion is a huge concern for many fashion lovers. You might love clothes and accessories, but you also want to make sure you’re not harming the planet unnecessarily. However, one of the issues that you might face if you’re looking for sustainable and ethical clothing is that it often seems to be more expensive than other options. It makes sense that you can be expected to pay more for anything that’s not fast fashion, but you can feel the financial sting if you struggle to find affordable brands and pieces. Fortunately, you can shop both sustainably and affordably if you’re looking for new clothes.

Look for Durable Pieces

One of the best ways to shop in a sustainable way is to look for items that are going to last you longer. Paying for durability doesn’t necessarily mean spending a whole lot more on your clothes. You can find brands like Hometown Heritage Clothing that offer durable and affordable clothes that are still stylish and comfortable too. The more durable your clothes are, the longer they will last and the less you will need to buy. More durable clothes are also often easier to repair, so you can mend one part that might have worn away instead of throwing the whole item out.

Only Buy What You Need

For fashion lovers, one of the most difficult parts of shopping in a more sustainable way is having restraint. It’s hard not to buy everything that you like even if you don’t really need it. But if you’re able to only buy what you need, you can create a much more sustainable wardrobe. What’s more, the less you spend on impulse purchases, the more money you’ll have available for the really important items that you really need. So you’ll be able to invest in something that’s of great quality instead of buying several items of lesser quality.

Buy Second Hand

If you want to shop both sustainably and affordably, you often can’t beat buying second-hand clothing. You avoid creating demand for new clothing, and you get the chance to buy something that otherwise might have been thrown away. Second-hand clothes can often be great quality too. They’ve already survived through having one owner and you can check that they’re still in good condition. You can find second-hand clothes in a number of locations, from thrift stores to online auction sites and selling apps.

Research Retailers

Before you buy anything new, it’s a good idea to research the retailers you want to buy from. You might find that some of the more affordable brands actually have good ethical policies. On the other hand, some more expensive brands might not be particularly sustainable at all. A little bit of research can go a long way, especially as there are some websites that will give you all of the details about how sustainable a brand is.

Sustainable fashion doesn’t have to be super expensive. There are affordable ways to buy the sustainable clothing that you want.

4 Biggest Jackpot Wins in Canadian Casino History

Canada may not have the same reputation for casino gaming as the US, but it is still home to some major land-based gambling venues, as well as a burgeoning online betting scene.

Because of this, big jackpots have been won by Canadian players over the years, some of which instantly catapulted the lucky players into the club of the mega-rich. If you’re looking to try your luck without risking your own money, exploring the best no deposit bonus casino real Canadian options can be a great way to get started.

Here’s a quick overview of the most jaw-dropping sums ever to be won at Canada’s casinos. Read on, try not to get jealous, and remember that you can’t win if you don’t play!

$16.5 million

Back in 2020 the slot game Mega Moolah paid out just under $16.5 million to a player who used the online casino site operated by popular brand JackpotCity.

As one of the most lucrative games at one of the best online casinos Canada has to offer, it’s no surprise that Mega Moolah regularly attracts a lot of attention from players.

In fact, Mega Moolah is more popular among players from Canada than almost anywhere else on the planet, explaining why over the time that the game has been available, an impressive 20 Canadian jackpot winners have arisen, collectively accounting for $144.6 million in prize money.

While the average win may be just over $7 million from this game, there are outliers who manage to bag much more, as you can see. This all comes down to variance, and understanding how odds work is the only way to play slot games wisely.

Slot machines with progressive jackpots are the only casino games that can turn an average player into a multimillionaire with a single spin of the reels. And it is this simplicity and accessibility that keeps Mega Moolah and its contemporaries pulling in the punters.

$5.8 million

A casino in the resort town of Niagara Falls was the venue for a slots win which was a record-setting sum at the time it paid out in 2004.

The $5.8 million jackpot was a major payday for a Toronto native called Nick Hulst, who was playing the appropriately named Megabucks slot when he struck it rich.

Hulst was clearly not afraid of putting his money on the line, as his total spend on the game at the time of his win was at $60. That’s obviously not a lot in the context of the payout, but in isolation is a decent chunk of change, and demonstrates just how much you need to spend in pursuit of a jackpot.

It was spin number 20 that did it for Hulst over 18 years ago according to CBC News, and this record stood for many years, only being broken when higher paying games like Mega Moolah were introduced both at land-based and web-powered casinos.

$1.8 million

Niagara Falls is clearly a lucky place to play casino games, or at least one of the major locations in Canada where bricks and mortar gambling is actually allowed, as another big win happened here more recently.

A player known only as Kathryn bagged a cool $1.8 million on a game called the King of Pop, which is unsurprisingly themed around and officially endorsed by Michael Jackson’s estate.

Like the Megabucks winner, Kathryn spent $60 on the slot before the payout occurred, perhaps suggesting there is some luckiness to the number; although in reality it really is a random chance that is at play whenever you spin the reels.

$4.7 million

As you might have guessed by this point, the biggest wins from casinos in Canada and anywhere else for that matter are generated by slot machines. This story is no different, with the Toronto-based Woodbine Casino playing host to another Megabucks jackpot payout worth close to $5 million.

What makes Megabucks appealing is that spins cost as little as $1 and still give players the chance to earn the full jackpot for this amount.

In this instance, while the winner decided to remain anonymous, it was still possible for the casino to publish the news of the jackpot being snatched.

Honorable mentions

If slots aren’t your thing, there are winners from the Canadian table game scene who are worth mentioning.

Poker star Daniel Negreanu is often ranked as among the best players in the world, and has career winnings of over $45 million, while other stalwarts including Timothy Adams and Sam Greenwood have also both made more than $20 million with their poker talents.

Canada’s casino industry is up and coming, and it will be interesting to see whether the increased access to online casino experiences will result in bigger jackpots being won in years to come.
