Tasha Announces New Album ‘Tell Me What You Miss The Most’, Shares New Single

Tasha has announced her new album, Tell Me What You Miss The Most. The follow-up to the Chicago-based artist’s 2018 debut Alone at Last comes out November 5 digitally and December 3 physically via Father/Daughter Records. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the new single ‘Perfect Wife’, which is accompanied by a video directed by John TerEick and Jake Nokovic of the directing duo coool. Check it out below and scroll down for the album artwork and tracklist.

“When thinking about the visual for this song, I knew it had to exude romance, joy, and sweetness,” Tasha explained in a press release. “I found John and Jake by happenstance, but our work together felt totally seamless. This visual represents the giddiness and excitement of going on a first date with someone, and having it turn out even better than you could have imagined. Paired with their vision for a retro, theatrical, musical-movie kind of world, I think this video wonderfully captures that magic of being totally head over heels for someone perfect. John and Jake were a dream to work with, and I’m so grateful for their expert imagination.”

coool’s John TerEick and Jake Nokovic added:

When Tasha approached us with the song, we knew there had to be flowers and there had to be dancing. It’s this pure, magical love song that, for all of us, felt like those ‘too good to be true’ moments that occur when you’re really falling for someone. It was important for us to not tell the story of the date itself, but rather the aftermath, when you’ve come home to your apartment. How can you not just want to throw yourself around the room and move your body when you feel that elated? It’s that feeling that gave us the idea to inject visual language and choreography that felt reminiscent of mid-century films like Funny Face, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Singin’ in the Rain.

‘Perfect Wife’ follows Tasha’s previous single ‘Lake Superior’, which made our Best New Songs list.

Phoebe Bridgers Joins MUNA on New Song ‘Silk Chiffon’

Los Angeles–based trio MUNA have teamed up with Phoebe Bridgers for a new song called ‘Silk Chiffon’. The track, the band’s first since signing to Bridgers’ Saddest Factory label imprint earlier this year, arrives with an accompanying music video directed by Ally Pankiw and inspired by the 1999 cult film But I’m A Cheerleader. In a statement, guitarist and producer Naomi McPherson described ‘Silk Chiffon’ as “a song for kids to have their first gay kiss to.” Check it out below.

MUNA released their debut LP, About U, back in 2017. They followed it up with Saves the World in 2019.

Album Review: Drake, ‘Certified Lover Boy’

Album Review: Drake, ‘Certified Lover Boy’

In his music, Drake is capable of peerless self-examination. He proves as much on ‘Champagne Poetry’, the remarkable six-minute opening track of his new record Certified Lover Boy, which sees him adopting the introspective, self-serious tone usually reserved for his album endings: “Career is going great, but now the rest of me is fading slowly/ My soulmate is somewhere out in the world, just waiting on me/ My chef got the recipe for disaster baking slowly/ My heart feel vacant and lonely,” he raps. It’s a predictably confessional moment on a track that seems to celebrate his successes, all while interpolating the Beatles’ ‘Michelle’ (as sampled in Masego’s ‘Navajo’). But it’s the way he blurs the line between these two seemingly contradictory modes that makes the track stand out; he boasts about his ability to inspire countless Instagram captions, and, in the same breath, makes it all look shallow and isolating: “Under me I see all the people that claim they over me/ And above me I see nobody.”

Here’s how Drake sums up Certified Lover Boy, his sixth studio album and first since 2018’s Scorpion, in the official Apple Music description: “a combination of toxic masculinity and acceptance of truth which is inevitably heartbreaking.” It’s slightly more thought-provoking than his own Editor’s Notes for Scorpion, but only for how baffling it is – you can imagine him trying to build a sentence out of the flashy words toxic masculinity, not quite sure what should come before them. “Combination” is a rather safe way to put it, a tacit acknowledgment that nothing on Certified Lover Boy can pass as ironic critique. The heartbreaking truth he seems to imply must be accepted is that he’ll always be no better than the younger versions of himself, the ones he recreated in the album’s nostalgic teaser back in January. “I don’t understand why you blame me/ Just take me as I am, it’s the same me,” goes the Charlotte Day Wilson sample that plays over the Travis Scott-assisted ‘Fair Trade’.

Spanning 21 tracks and 86 minutes, Certified Lover Boy is at least cohesive and well-produced enough to feel like a proper studio album, which is refreshing following the bloated mess that was Scorpion and the non-album projects Drake has dropped since, including the 2017 “playlist” More Life, the 2019 loosies compilation Care Package, and last year’s Dark Lane Demo Tapes. But with no signs of growth and no clear narrative threading the songs together, it doesn’t take long before the path he carves out on the album’s dynamic first set of songs becomes tedious and murky – or before it stops feeling like a journey altogether.

It’s obvious the 34-year-old is treading familiar ground both sonically and lyrically, which would be fine if Certified Lover Boy wasn’t littered with displays of inexplicable silliness as well as maturity, two extremes that would normally breathe life into Drake’s serene, luxurious, and meandering soundscapes. With nothing bridging the gap between those and the album’s more forgettable moments, however, it’s hard to make sense of the ridiculousness of tracks like ‘Girls Want Girls’ and the Right Said Fred-sampling ‘Way 2 Sexy’, and even harder to excuse the recklessness of ‘Fucking Fans’, an attempt at apologizing to an ex that includes lyrics like: “I was out here fucking fans, I was shameless/ Yeah, and I know that/ You was at the crib reading stories that they sent you/ Most of that was bullshit but some of it I did do/ Hard for me to justify the women I was into.”

Self-awareness can only get Drake so far. Moments like this don’t fall flat because they’re not genuine, but because they feel stuck in a perpetual cycle of toxicity. Even when he fails to break through it, the album is at its most illuminating when there is enough movement within a song to immerse us in Drake’s headspace, by turns anxious and regretful. The theatrical ‘N 2 Deep’ is set to gritty guitar before erupting into a hazy atmosphere aided by guest appearances from Future and the Weeknd, whose uncredited vocals hover in the background, adding to the sense of darkness and corruption that pervade the song. The spectral production on ‘Race My Mind’ perfectly mirrors the intoxicated state of mind of a lover that’s supposed to be a contrast to Drake’s sobriety, but ends up deftly highlighting his own confusion and pettiness. Compare that to a song like ‘TSU’, which not only tells the story of a sex worker trying to make a better life for herself with pure condescension, but also hands a songwriting credit to R. Kelly (currently on trial for sex-trafficking and racketeering charges) due to a sample of ‘Half on a Baby’.

“Combination” turns out to be an apt word: throughout the project, it’s clear Drake is comfortably bringing together different styles he’s helped pioneer while playing out different archetypes he’s already established. Even that will be nothing new for listeners who’ve sat through Views and Scorpions, but it’s impressive how the Canadian superstar’s latest blockbuster manages to yield better results by following more or less the same formula. This is largely because there are enough highlights peppered throughout the tracklist to keep the momentum going, with the fiery energy of ‘No Friends in the Industry’ and ‘Knife Talk’ as well as the melodic ‘Get Along Better’ shining through the record’s second half. Also welcome are moments where he sets his ego aside, like on ‘Fountains’, the Afrobeat collaboration with Nigerian pop star Tems, and the gorgeous ‘Yebba’s Heartbreak’, where Drake is entirely absent.

And for as indulgent as Certified Lover Boy is, it sounds like, for the most part, he’d rather not be at its center. As if paralyzed by how much of his real human self comes through on the opener, he spends the majority of the album more fascinated with “the man I see in the mirror” than perplexed by the struggles that clearly haunt him, which are only hinted at. Because as divisive of a hit as a song like ‘Girls Want Girls’ is bound to be, the backlash (and memes) is likely preferable to the implications of grappling with guilt, fatherhood, or being the most popular rapper on Earth. Besides, it’s easier to reignite old feuds than face your own demons. Drake gives no indication that any of this eludes him, which is why, yet again, the album feels as pleasant and self-important as it is inconsequential. The reason he stumbles this time is that he clings to the character and not the drive that marked his younger self: “This the part where I’ma find a new part of me to explore,” he raps on ‘Champagne Poetry’, a promising thought he soon abandons.

Streaming Services Reintroducing the Cable Problem

Streaming Services Reintroducing the Cable Problem

When streaming services first started gaining traction online, they were regarded as a curiosity, out of bounds for most of us who were then tied to slow internet speeds. Over time, these systems would go on to not just match traditional broadcast and cable TV, but eventually outperform these options in many appreciable ways. Watch what you want when you want, as many times are you want, with libraries far more open than anything that had come before. These were the promises of early streaming services, and they propelled the systems to international success.
In the modern age, however, the financial promise of the field has led to a much more varied market. From what used to be based around mostly Netflix came Hulu, Disney+, Amazon Prime TV, and much more. Though breaking up monopolies is great for many things, in this application, it also became a double-edged sword.

From One Came Many

Back when Netflix was the only major name in the game, TV series and movies were all too happy to make the jump. This served as another form of access, one where enormous potential audiences could be introduced to shows they’d otherwise miss. It could create a new chance for old shows to shine, and for new ones to avoid the problems created by poor scheduling. Unintentionally, it eliminated the difficult problem of platform choice that arose when considering multiple cable channels and channel packages. For its effort, it became the most popular streaming service, as Forbes reports, but this complete dominance wouldn’t last forever.

When more organisations started to offer streaming services, they needed a way to succeed. To stand out from the pack, they had to offer something nobody else did, and to this end, the landscape of exclusives was reintroduced into the entertainment sphere. As reported by Decider, 30 Rock, How I Met Your Mother, House M.D, Scrubs, and so much more left Netflix, with each show’s rights owners enticed by better financial deals. Unfortunately, the cost of this move, as it so often does, came down to the consumer.
From what was one cheap option, viewers who want everything are now having to keep up with multiple subscriptions. This is expensive, it’s annoying, and with more streaming services popping up all the time, the problem is only going to grow more pronounced, as it did with cable for so many years. So, how do we address the issue?

Searching for Solutions

Though there are many proposed solutions for the streaming and choice dilemma, one of the most reasonable comes from the ecosystem of online casinos. These digital casinos could have faced a similar challenge, where games are massively split between different websites, but this isn’t what happened. Instead, iGaming services leant into a more cooperative approach.
Today, comparison services like the Bonusfinder Danish site list a huge array of different gambling sites, each of which shares enormous libraries of games. Instead of relying on exclusivity, however, these services leverage bonuses like free spins and deposit matches, user interface, and other key features to set their sites apart. This is a direction that essentially solves the issue of exclusives, and it’s one many would like to see streaming services take.

Whether or not streaming services will ever change their attitude towards the problem of exclusives remains to be seen. Though it’s something practically all customers want, it’s not an easy gap to bridge when looking at extremely competitive and wealthy media conglomerates. We can only hope that one day, they’ll find a cooperative solution that works for everyone. Until then, it looks like researching just one or two key streaming services to maximise engagement is the only solution most viewers are going to get.

Big Thief Share New Single ‘Certainty’

Big Thief have shared a new single called ‘Certainty’. The track follows last month’s ‘Little Things’ and ‘Sparrow’, which marked the band’s first new songs since 2019. Listen to it below.

‘Certainty’, which features harmonies from Hannah Cohen, was written and recorded directly to 4-track during a long power outage while the band were at Sam Evian’s Flying Cloud Studios. Buck Meek explained in a statement:

On the third day of the outage, I found Adrianne on the porch writing a new song, so I sat with her and we finished it together, with the rain falling from the gutters splashing over our guitars. James and Sam saw us writing, and quickly set up a four-track tape machine in the kitchen, powered by the F250 cigarette lighter out in the yard. They set up the drums by the sink, and Max plugged his bass into a Bluetooth speaker set on top of the stove. Take 2 had a great bark from Sam and Hannah’s pup Jan during the solo, but we ended up going with take 3 because it took us about that long to learn the chords. Then we made pancakes and sausages and ate breakfast for dinner.

Hayden Thorpe Unveils Video for New Single ‘Metafeeling’

Hayden Thorpe has shared a new song, ‘Metafeeling’, alongside an accompanying video directed by Percy Dean. It’s taken from his upcoming album Moondust For My Diamond, which is out October 15 and includes the previously released tracks ‘Parallel Kingdom’ and ‘The Universe Is Always Right’. Check it out below.

“Nan Shepherd wrote in The Living Mountain, ‘In the rarefied air of the plateau, and indeed anywhere in the mountain, for the air is clear everywhere, shadows are sharp and intense’,” Thrope said of the new song and video in a press release. “I went after that rarefied air and the only way director Percy Dean and I could capture it was to get up there. A summit fever came over us both and we ended up climbing two mountains that day, Fleetwith Pike and Honister Crag. He, with a heavy-as-hell camera and me carrying an acoustic guitar dressed in a Nudie suit. The invisible thrust that pushed us up there is pretty familiar to me, when you’re suspended between rock and sky there’s an explosion of the senses. Translating just a fraction of that euphoria is a lifetime’s work.”

Most Used Guitar Pedals To Record An Album

Most Used Guitar Pedals To Record An Album

Over the last year and a half, there has been a keen interest in learning to play a new instrument. The pandemic was announced early last year, and what has followed has been a series of restrictions on movement and social activities.

Being required to stay at home for long periods led many to seek out new hobbies and interests. For others though, it was an opportunity to spend more time on an existing interest. For many newbies and experienced hobbyists, the choice was music.

This isn’t just hearsay, the figures speak for themselves. 2020 saw Fender have their best sales year ever. Gibson reported a huge rise in sales. Acoustic and electric guitars have been flying out of the door from retailers such as Sweetwater.

Ukuleles and other instruments are also enjoying a bigger interest from the public as people discover the joys of playing an instrument. It is electric guitars though that fascinate many, and the sounds they can make, especially once connected to amps and effects pedals. 

Why are guitars so popular?

Guitars are easily one of the most popular instruments that get sold to beginners. Ideally, someone would probably start on an acoustic version before moving on to an electric one, but many go straight for a Stratocaster.

They are easier to learn than many people believe, as long as time is given to practice. Lessons are available readily from professional teachers, and there are plenty of resources available on the internet.

One other reason that guitars are popular, is that quite frankly, they look cool. You only have to look at the roll-call of famous guitarists to see why many want to emulate their success and their talent.

Many of these guitarists use effects pedals to give them their distinctive sound. Keith Richards used the Maestro FZ-1 Fuzz-Tone when he helped make Satisfaction with the Rolling Stones. This record along with Richards’ unique sound almost single-handedly made the Maestro a major seller. 

What is a guitar pedal?

If you are currently enjoying playing an electric guitar and own an amp, then you will be familiar with the sound of your guitar. By using a guitar pedal you can change the normal sound of the instrument. This means that you can improve the general sound quality that your audience hears, or you can make subtle changes to it.

There are many different guitar pedals, and the resulting sound will depend on what features they have, and what you want to use them for. Reverb and overdrive are too common uses for guitar pedals, and you can be subtle with them, or you can go full out My Bloody Valentine and use every effect under the sun, at the same time.

More on Kevin Shields’s love of guitar pedals below, but for now you can look at another type of pedal, the preamp. 

Preamp pedals

There can be some confusion between effects pedals and preamp pedals, and many guitarists find the edges are a little blurry.

They will typically have equalization, gain, and volume controls. Preamps built for bass guitars may overdrive built into them also. Unlike effects pedals, preamps are designed to improve consistency and adjust tones.

While an effects pedal might give you that signature sound you are craving, a high quality preamp pedal is more likely to help you if you already like your own sound, but just want to improve it somewhat.

Preamps offer a way for your sound to remain more consistent when playing in different venues. They can also help if you switch instruments during your show as you won’t need to keep adjusting the amp when you have a pedal to easily get the tone right. 

What musicians use guitar pedals?

It probably won’t surprise you to hear that Jimi Hendrix was a big fan of guitar pedals before most other guitarists had got involved.

Some purists look at effects pedals as gimmicks, but you only need to look at the roll call of guitarists who use these devices to realize they have a place with serious musicians.

Guitarists who use or have used effects pedals:

  • Jimi Hendrix
  • Keith Richards
  • Slash
  • Kurt Cobain
  • John Mayer
  • Johnny Marr
  • Stevie Ray Vaughn
  • Jack White

This short list doesn’t even scratch the surface, but it’s not a bad group to be associated with if you like guitar pedals, is it?

It would be difficult to imagine the sound of The White Stripes without the accompanying fuzz. When it comes to musicians such as Johnny Marr, you may have to search through his music to find when he used effects pedals, think of ‘How Soon is Now’, and you’ll be on the right track (no pun intended). 

What pedals are most used today?

There is plenty of choice for preamp and effects pedals on the market now, but below are some of the most popular. 

Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi

Dave Gilmour and Santana are fans of the Big Muff, and there are a number of variations in the series. 

Electro-Harmonix Nano Clone

As used by the late Kurt Cobain. 

Red Panda Particle 2

If you want to completely change the sound your guitar makes, then this may be the one for you. 

Ibanez Tube Screamer Mini

Popular with metal musicians. Used for overdrive. 

Boss DD-8

A compact delay pedal from a solid brand name. 

What effects do these pedals have?

It is perhaps useful to run through what all the different pedals can do, and what you have heard on popular albums and on the radio.

Here below are many of the different pedals and their uses:

  • Delay
  • Overdrive
  • Fuzz
  • Volume
  • Acoustic
  • Noise gate
  • Flanger
  • Tuner
  • Tremolo
  • Octave
  • Phaser
  • Wah
  • Reverb

There are more than this, but this gives you an idea of just how many ways you can adjust the sound and tone of your guitar playing. There is one musician who likes to put all of these together, or so it seems. 

Who loves guitar pedals the most?

When you are thinking of making your own sound, you might want to buy a guitar pedal and set up a DAW. Learning how to create music at home can be a simple affair or very complicated. Kevin Shields would no doubt take the complicated route when it comes to creating his very unique sound.

My Bloody Valentine is known for their literally ear-splitting music, and it is no secret that Shield’s loves guitar pedals.

No matter how much Keith Richards loved the Fuzz-Tone, it is hard to imagine he would ever contemplate a pedalboard like Shields’s. On one pedalboard for the guitarist, there are over thirty different effects pedals. Perhaps no one else in music likes to run so many pedals in unison. 

Summary

Many famous albums and songs have been created with the use of guitar pedals. They are not a gimmick when used correctly, but can help create signature and unique sounds.

For some musicians, the guitar pedal is a fundamental part of their sound. For others, a quality preamp will do the job as they just need slight tonal adjustment to get the sound they want.

As you can see, many famous guitarists enjoy these pedals so there is no reason not to experiment to make your own sound. Kurt Cobain’s guitar sold for $6 million, so you have to wonder how much his pedals would be worth?

GTA or Fallout: New Vegas: which game to choose for casino fans?

Video games are a constantly evolving industry that has gone through a long and exciting journey since the first title was published on arcade machines. On the other hand, the casino market looks for new ways to engage the audience and possibly attract more gamers than ever. Massive multiplayer titles set in open worlds with multiple scenarios are just the perfect way to make it happen. As you will see, GTA and Fallout are the best options where two spheres blend in an attractive appearance and numerous chances to combine your favorite pastimes.

Back-to-Back: Themes and Premises

Both GTA and Fallout belong to a larger series dating back to the late ‘90s and both have faithful armies. While the main premise is similar, other aspects of the two titles differ in out-turn and other aspects. Your character explores a vast universe, interacts with other people, tries to earn as much as possible, and engages in life-challenging combat scenes of more or less intensity level. As you will also see, they should obey an unwritten online casino law to get what they want.

The latest in the series and certainly the most popular one, GTA V is a constantly evolving action-adventure that takes place in the fictional open world of San Andreas. The player is free to move around the world as well as the city of Los Santos and most missions include shooting and driving. In addition to the main game, there is the multiplayer mode GTA Online which allows up to 30 players to participate in cooperative or competitive matches.

The world-famous Fallout introduces players to the world that emerged after the nuclear war. In 2077, the United States was destroyed in a general nuclear attack by China, and you are one of the few lucky or “lucky” survivors of the war tucked away in the deeply buried Vaults. Radiation, mutants, grayness, and destruction of civilization. That’s what’s left, but you have to manage as soon as possible because gangs and groups have formed very quickly, which, for the sake of easier survival, do not stop to make a stain on you on the wall. You can also consult the Vegas official game guide to learn more details.

A Little Extra Something for Casino Enthusiasts

GTA online casino savvy gamers can try their luck in both casinos and sportsbooks. The fifth iteration of the franchise introduces a new gambling establishment where you can play everything from table games to slots. The Inside Racing track is another way to take a well-earned rest from heists around the crime-infested neighborhoods of Los Santos. The first time you get there, the game will issue a blank check worth 5.000 chips, while the Cashier Services booth offers a daily dose of 1.000 chips that should satisfy even the most demanding customers.

If races are your cup of tea in Grand Theft Auto V, the sportsbook sounds like a good idea that works just like any other similar venue in the real world: pick a horse, watch the race completes, and take your winnings out. A proven tip would be to wager on the top horse, which eventually doubles the investment. Of course, no one can guarantee this outcome, so always place bets carefully. On the other hand, even a reckless punter can lose everything and still earn it back by robbing a store or bank – that’s what GTA is all about. Actually, both games for consoles favor punters.

While completing Fallout New Vegas in-game quests, you will get the most interesting task: instead of turning a regular punter into a big winner, your avatar will look for a ban from every single casino establishment in the game including Vikki and Vance Casino, Atomic Wrangler Casino, and Sierra Madre Casino & Resort. The reward system is also attractive granting Bon Vivant suite, Complimentary voucher, and The Tops High Roller Suite. The quest is complete after winning a predefined number of chips, which can be done by playing classic gambling games.

The Best Casino Game You Can Play

Arguably, The Diamond Casino & Resort version playable in GTA 5 Online opens doors of high-stake wagers replacing the original Vinewood Casino in Los Santos. This is a classy resort with an exclusive enhanced version content and VIP lounge areas, the Inside Track betting spot, and a gambling area. Punters can enjoy a multitude of gambling options including the Lucky Wheel, the Casino Store, an array of slot machines, and table games such as Three Card Poker, roulette, or blackjack.

Treated as a very important person right from the start, you can buy a $500-worth standard membership that enables all casino games including horse racing. Owners of the Master Penthouse will unlock three extras including Cleaning Service, Limousine Services, and Aircraft Concierge.

While spinning the wheel-of-fortune-like feature positioned in the center of the casinos’ lobby, there is a chance for Grand Theft Auto Casino punters to claim real money, RP, or casino chips. Bettors can also win a 10% discount for a random vehicle, a mystery prize, or a brand-new car waiting to be collected from the podium. VIPs can also take a daily bonus worth 1.000 chips, enjoy a drink, or purchase some clothes.

When it comes to slots, the game hosts a variety of themes including Diamond Miner, Fame or Shame, Deity of the Sun, Impotent Rage, Twilight Knife, Evacuator, and Republican Space Rangers. Players will enjoy betting options suitable for all experience levels as well as payouts ranging from symbolic to millionaire-making jackpots.

The Final Verdict

Built on different premises, Fallout and GTA have so many betting options that could easily distract you from main missions. The fact is GTA online hosts a more welcoming surrounding, but the other title also comes with more than an interesting idea of how to gamble and make some profit out of it. To pursue your career in video games that also cherish online casinos or at least their landline versions, we suggest you try the Red Dead Redemption video game and make money fast while completing tasks there. In any case, two worlds are closer than ever and it’s up to your ambitions whether to meet them in a historic, contemporary, or post-apocalyptic version of Vegas.
