Slow Pulp Release New Single ‘Doubt’

Chicago-via-Madison band Slow Pulp have unveiled a new single called ‘Doubt’. It’s taken from their forthcoming LP Yard, which has already been previewed with the tracks ‘Slugs’ and ‘Cramps’. Check it out below.

“In my process to fight against self-deprecation, I found this strange new pattern popping up where I fished for critiques from others,” lead singer Emily Massey said in a press release. “I wanted people close to me to validate the things I hated about myself. Self-doubt had found a home in me, it felt safer to stay in this familiar negative space than to like myself. I thought if others shared that with me I wouldn’t have to do the work to change.”

Yard, Slow Pulp’s debut for ANTI-, lands on September 29.

Patio Announce New Album ‘Collection’, Share Video for New Single ‘Sixpence’

Patio – the trio composed of bassist-vocalist Loren DiBlasi, guitarist-vocalist Lindsey-Paige “LP” McCloy, and drummer Alice Suh – are back with news of their next album. The follow-up to their 2019 debut Essentials is called Collection, and it’s out September 22 via Fire Talk. The LP was produced and mixed by Nate Amos of Water from Your Eyes. Lead single ‘Sixpence’ arrives today alongside a video directed by Ambar Navarro. Check it out and see the album cover and tracklist below.

“‘Sixpence’ was conceived within an early 70s daydream of decadence, glamour, and self-indulgence,” Patio explained in a statement. “It’s about false identities — how money helps us create illusions that affect how others perceive us, and how we perceive ourselves. Inspired by Roxy Music, David Bowie, and the lethargic boredom that remains when ambition is thwarted by apathy.”

Why Creative Business Owners Should Take Out Life Insurance

As a business owner, you probably already have one too many things to think about. Whether you’re trying to secure the best creative talent for your next project, find new clients or keep up with industry trends, it can be hard to find the time to think about the little details. But even though you’re a creative, it’s important to have a firm hold on your finances and financial security. One way to do this is through life insurance, especially if your priority is protecting the important people in your life. Here are some reasons why life insurance could make your life easier:

Keeping your loved ones safe

Your creative business is probably your passion, but that’s not all it is – it also generates the income that supports your family and pays your bills. If you know your loved ones would struggle to carry on without the income your business brings in, life insurance can help them to keep going if you were to die unexpectedly. Depending on the policy you choose, your family may receive a lump sum of money or regular monthly payments to help them make ends meet. Make sure you browse different life insurance deals to find out which one will work best for your needs before making a firm commitment.

Safeguarding your business

If your business is really important to you and you’d hate to see it fail if you were to die unexpectedly, life insurance can help your partners keep things running smoothly when you’re no longer around. This is especially important for business founders who have special creative skills that will be hard or expensive to replace. A life insurance payout can help business partners to replace your skills as well as pay off business loans. However, you do need to keep in mind that business life insurance won’t cover your loved ones, so you may need two different policies.

Business life insurance can also help joint owners or key shareholders to maintain control of your business. So, if you want your business partner to be able to buy out your shares if you pass away, then life insurance can make sure of that. This helps co-founders to ensure their business will always move in a direction they’re happy with.

Protect your income

Business income in creative industries can vary from month to month, especially if you’re just starting out. While life insurance is typically used to give your loved ones money after you die, you can invest in extra add-ons such as income protection insurance and critical illness cover. This means that you may be able to receive payments to replace your income if you’re ever too unwell to work. This will not only help you cover rent payments and bills, but it can help your business to carry on without you as well.

Taking out life insurance can be a big commitment for a fledgling business owner, but it’s worth thinking about especially if you’re taking out other types of insurance as well. Sometimes life insurance can be just as essential as public liability, so consider your options carefully and don’t wait until it’s too late.

Bethany Cosentino Shares Video for New Single ‘Natural Disaster’

Ahead of its release on Friday, Bethany Cosentino has unveiled the opening title track from her debut solo LP, Natural Disaster. It follows previous cuts ‘It’s Fine’, ‘Easy’, and ‘For a Moment’. Check it out via the accompanying video below.

“’Natural Disaster’ was absolutely the easiest song on the album to write,” Cosentino explained in a statement. “Producer and songwriter Suzy Shinn sent me an instrumental track, and the moment I heard it, I ran to my music room and wrote this. It was one of those songs that felt like it was just waiting to come out of me. The message is very clear: I had been thinking a lot about the energy of the summer of 2020 in particular. Political upheaval, protests against police brutality, wildfires throughout the state of California, and other Natural Disasters around the globe. That chaotic energy was palpable on planet earth. The song is meant to serve as a commentary on the way we as humans go about our business as the world around us crumbles and literally burns. Thinking about the way our planet is changing is wildly anxiety-producing, but it’s very real, so I hope this song can call attention to it while also giving people something to sing along to.”

Of the video, she added: “I wanted to create a visual for ‘Natural Disaster’ that drew attention to the way in which our planet is suffering, but also reminding people of the beauty of this earth and why we should be fighting to save it. None of us are perfect, but even if we do one or two small things in an attempt to elicit change, we are doing the right thing. With some of the hottest temperatures on record happening this summer, I hope this song and video can serve as a call to action. I chose to highlight Evergreen Action, a non profit organization working towards combating climate change. This is the only planet we’ve got, let’s all do our best to treat her right.”

Interview: Elizabeth Barlow

Elizabeth Barlow’s series Flora Portraits was recently exhibited at the Monterey Museum of Art. The series depicts hyperrealistic portraits of individual flora that evoke calm, meditation, and awareness for what Barlow calls our “treasured ecosystems.” For Barlow, the series keeps developing as new paintings will be presented alongside artist Susan Manchester in a series named Flora Borealis at the Andra Norris Gallery from the 23rd of September. 

To discuss the series, Barlow joined us for an interview.

Hi, how are you and how is the art world treating you?

Hi and thanks for asking! At this moment in time, I am working very long hours in the studio, 7 days a week, creating new work for an exhibition at Andra Norris Gallery in September. After that, I have commissions awaiting my attention, and those paintings are already hovering in my consciousness and appearing in my dreams. No matter how weary I feel at the end of a long, intense day at the easel, I am grateful that this is what I get to do for my job and that I have the privilege of having “too much” work to do.  

The Monterey Museum of Art recently acquired your painting “Hymn” for their permanent collection. Can you share the story behind this painting and how it feels to have your work included in a permanent collection?

“Hymn” is a perfect example of how my work is both carefully planned and utterly unpredictable.  I began painting “Hymn” the way I do all of my work by focusing on the form and structure of the actual flower—this is the planned part of my paintings. Then, as the gardenia took shape on the canvas, it began telling me what it wanted to become, and I tried to respond to that voice—this is the unpredictable part of my work. “Hymn” eventually told me that it wanted to be floating, as if it were a hymn resonating through the air. “Hymn” has a magnetic presence, and when the Monterey Museum of Art announced they were acquiring it for their permanent collection, I was elated and deeply honored but also a tiny bit not surprised because the painting does seem to say: “Stop. Look at me.  Listen.”  

Your new paintings in the Flora Portraits series look deeply and reverently at the living presence of each flower you paint. Can you describe your approach to these portraits and what you hope viewers take away from them?

Not long after I began painting my Flora Portraits series, I very quickly saw that each flower is an individual, just like you or me. Once I began exaggerating the scale of the flowers, their individual spirits and voices became more apparent. Flowers are messengers. Their beauty seduces us into pausing our hectic lives for a moment. When we are still enough and look deeply enough at a flower, we will discover messages about hope, resilience, and joy, to name a few. I want my paintings to awaken the viewer from the sleep of our busyness to the messages all great beauty can give.  

How do you choose the flowers you paint in your Flora Portraits series, and what do you find most challenging and rewarding about painting flowers?

I am not certain that I choose the flowers, I think that they choose me. When I walk through a garden or local flower shop, there is a sudden frisson, an internal tingling, that I experience when I see the flower I want to paint. The flower will have an allure that is impossible for me to resist. Perhaps that flower’s message is too important for me to ignore? I truly do feel that I am called to paint each flower I select. 

Flowers are challenging to paint because they are ephemeral, they fade and wither. Since my painting process is intentionally slow, I take photographs that I use as reference while I paint.  But the seeming fragility of flowers is also one of their great messages to us. Yes, they bloom gloriously only to diminish and die, but their life force remains alive though hidden and they blossom again.  

As an artist whose work is deeply connected to the natural world, how do you see your art evolving in the future, especially in the context of ongoing conversations about environmental conservation and climate change?

I hope that my art continues to grow in presence and that my paintings will add their voices to the growing chorus of concern about our planet. I want my Flora Portraits to offer opportunities to put down our devices and really look at these living things of great beauty who share this Earth with us. If we can develop a reverence for a single flower, then we can develop a reverence for every creature and every human. An awareness of beauty can transform how we walk through our lives. 

 If you could give any advice to any aspiring artists, what would it be?

Treat your desire to create as something sacred. Making art is an act of devotion. If you truly listen to that inner voice asking you to make something, honor it by finding the time to show up every day. You don’t need hours and hours,  if you show up every day, your work becomes a practice and will deepen over time. Ballet dancers and classical musicians show up every single day for their art. So must we. It isn’t a matter of discipline, it is practice of devotion.  

Lastly, what’s your definition of culture?

Culture is the treasure trove of beauty and wisdom awaiting my discovery each and every day.  No matter where I am in the world, or what circumstances I might be in, there is an opportunity to tap into the miraculous world of culture, whether it be reading a classic novel for the first time, overhearing a snippet of witty conversation, remembering a childhood song, stumbling across a startling piece of street art, or getting lost in a great museum. Culture is everywhere with its gifts, awaiting only our attention.

Review: Shin Kamen Rider (2023)

Hideaki Anno’s Shin Kamen Rider left me frustrated on numerous fronts—namely as a rare instance wherein this capable director seemed aggressively determined not to showcase his considerable talent. Granted, my admiration for Anno leans toward his animation (e.g., Gunbuster and Neon Genesis Evangelion) as most of his live-action outings have been narratively inept; his script for Shinji Higuchi’s Shin Ultraman (2022) ranks with the most dismal writing I’ve endured in ages. That said, I’d seldom sat through his directorial efforts unimpressed by the technique: the slashing edits, the keen visual sense, the acute blocking of actors. The man has ability begging for use on worthy projects; thus I remained cautiously optimistic for Shin Kamen Rider. Alas, the new movie is doubly and uniquely aggravating, hampered by maladroit, at times amateurish execution.

The latest big screen venture in a Japanese media franchise stretching back to the early 1970s, Shin Kamen Rider opens with its best scene: motorcyclist Takeshi Hongo (Sosuke Ikematsu) and the mysterious Ruriko (Minami Hamabe) escape their would-be captors in a mountain-set chase/fight, the former—clad in a suit with an insect-like helmet—bloodily pounding his adversaries to death. A retreat to an abandoned house unites them with Ruriko’s scientist father (Shinya Tsukamoto), who informs Hongo they’re being pursued by SHOCKER (Sustainable Happiness Organization with Computational Knowledge Embedded Remodeling). Said organization has brainwashed human subjects and transformed them into part-arthropod warriors called Augs. Hongo, a former subject given grasshopper genetics, witnesses the scientist’s murder and joins Ruriko on a quest to save mankind.

Having only seen clips of previous Kamen Rider movies and shows, I cannot discuss Shin Kamen Rider relative to its franchise—whether it opts for subverting tropes, remaking Anno’s favorite TV episodes, or some combination of the two. But in relation to its director’s career, the film immediately recalls Shin Ultraman, with an oppressive first hour structured like a TV episode compilation. Anno quickly exhausts himself on uncompelling mini-narratives: villains appear, enact routine speeches and antics, and are dispatched so the next baddie can take his place. The fights, initially energetic and fun, become increasingly dull, accompanied by unctuous dialogue as the Augs gab ad nauseam. Once again there’s a “humanity” message, emphasized in the second half and embodied through the protagonist. We’re told (more than shown) that Hongo resolved to increase his strength to protect the weak. However, taking another ill cue from Shin Ultraman, the film shies from depicting his interactions with the everyday people he’s supposedly out to save; thus Hongo’s “convictions” boil down to empty speeches; and the character’s simply not interesting (or interestingly acted) enough to make up for what’s lacking script-wise.

Neither is anyone else. Of the entire cast, only two leave an impression and unfortunately in the worst way: Toru Tezuka—as an Aug with cartoonish bat wings—and Masami Nagasawa—a baddie with a scorpion claw—deliver the most obnoxious ham-acting of recent memory. Occasionally, Anno permits his actors to stand before gorgeous mountains and waterfronts (or inside a ramshackle house with shards of light plastered across the floor—by far the film’s best interior set) but otherwise imprisons them within depressingly gray rooms and poorly lit lairs. In addition to accepting these mediocre components, the director tosses aside his usual kinesis—dialogue scenes in particular drag with no two shots bearing any sense of relation—all the while reluctant to capitalize on interesting concepts. (In one amusing moment, the protagonist’s motorcycle follows him autonomously down the road—a trick never explained, repeated, or even acknowledged by the characters.) Even his usual slashing edits prove a detriment: overused to the point of confusion and leaving scenes feeling unfinished.

Adding to the decrepit assembly are missing key shots. When the abandoned house is blown up, Anno ends one shot with the sky ridden with smoke and plummeting debris; cut directly to the protagonist, who (seemingly) jumped to freedom within the building, tumbling through a (suddenly) clear sky and landing in a (suddenly) clear field. In another instance: two heroes race through a tunnel; in the following shot, a gigantic explosion erupts (mid-burst—no transition, no explanation) through the corridors. Meanwhile, fourth-rate computer generated effects unroll in the manner of cut scenes from a video game, and Taku Iwasaki’s score blares distractingly in the background.

The whole constitutes a dreadful project of the sort previously unexpected of Hideaki Anno. I walked in expecting something at least technically immersive but instead left wondering if I’d seen a rough cut, one pieced together using outtakes for scenes not fully shot. While I maintain hope this talented filmmaker will one day revitalize his skills and employ them on a worthwhile project, Shin Kamen Rider is an almost total failure in his oeuvre—murky and incoherent when not painfully dull.

Additionally, prioritize casinos implementing robust security measures to safeguard your crypto assets. Opt for platforms that use advanced encryption technology to protect your personal and financial information. Choosing trustworthy crypto casinos sets a strong foundation for an enjoyable and secure gaming journey.

Understand the Games and Rules

Knowledge is power when it comes to crypto casino gaming. Take the time to understand the rules and strategies of the games you wish to play. Whether it’s blackjack, roulette, poker, or slot games, knowing the ins and outs of each game will give you a competitive edge.

Many crypto casinos offer demo versions of games, allowing you to practice without risking your crypto coins. Take advantage of these opportunities to familiarize yourself with the gameplay and develop winning strategies.

Manage Your Crypto Bankroll Wisely

Managing your crypto bankroll is essential for successful crypto casino gaming. Set a budget for your gaming sessions and stick to it. Avoid chasing losses and know when it’s time to take a break.

Consider using a separate wallet dedicated to your gambling funds to help you maintain better control over your spending. Dividing your crypto assets can also prevent you from wagering more than you can afford.

Utilize Bonuses and Promotions

Crypto casinos often offer enticing bonuses and promotions to attract players. Take advantage of these offers to boost your crypto bankroll and extend your gaming sessions. Look for welcome bonuses, free spins, and other promotions that can maximize your playing time and potential winnings.

While the thrill of crypto casino gaming is undeniable, always practice responsible gambling. Set limits on your playing time and wagering amounts to avoid excessive gambling. Remember that gambling should be a form of entertainment, and it’s essential to maintain a healthy balance in your gaming activities.

If you ever feel that gambling is becoming a problem, don’t hesitate to seek help. Many crypto casinos offer self-exclusion options and links to responsible gambling organizations for support.

Participate in Crypto Casino Tournaments

For an adrenaline-pumping gaming experience, consider participating in crypto casino tournaments. These events often feature competitive gameplay and the chance to win substantial crypto rewards.

Tournaments may include slot races, poker tournaments, or blackjack challenges. Engaging in these tournaments not only adds excitement to your gaming sessions but also presents opportunities to showcase your skills and claim impressive prizes.

While traditional casino games are always popular, don’t hesitate to explore niche crypto casino games. These unique offerings provide a refreshing break from the mainstream and may present hidden gems with exciting gameplay and innovative features.

Niche crypto casino games can include virtual sports betting, crypto dice games, or even games based on blockchain technology. Exploring these lesser-known games can lead to exciting discoveries and memorable gaming experiences.

Bingo Nights Out: Fashion Dos and Don’ts for Bingo Events

Hey there, bingo enthusiasts! Are you ready for a fabulous night out at the bingo hall? As you prepare for an evening of excitement and friendly competition, it’s important to consider your fashion choices. 

Bingo nights out offer the perfect opportunity to showcase your personal style and make a statement. In this guide, we’ll explore the fashion dos and don’ts for bingo events, ensuring you look your best while enjoying the thrill of the game. 

So, grab your dabber, find your lucky seat, and dive into the bingo fashion world!

Dress Comfortably: Embrace Casual Chic

When it comes to bingo nights out, comfort is key. Opt for clothing that allows you to move freely and comfortably as you eagerly mark off those winning numbers. Embrace casual chic attire by choosing a stylish yet relaxed outfit. 

Wear jeans or trousers with a comfortable top or a trendy blouse. Layering with a light jacket or cardigan can add a fashionable touch while providing versatility if the venue gets chilly. Remember, you want to be able to enjoy the bingo experience without any wardrobe restrictions.

Show Your Personality: Accessorize with Flair

Bingo events are a great opportunity to showcase your personality and have fun with your accessories. Add a touch of flair to your outfit by incorporating colorful scarves, statement jewelry, or playful hats. These accessories add visual interest to your ensemble and serve as conversation starters among fellow bingo players. 

Express your unique style and let your accessories be an extension of your vibrant personality. Don’t forget to choose accessories that won’t obstruct your view of the bingo cards or interfere with your gameplay.

Consider Bingo Hall Etiquette: Avoid Oversized Accessories

While accessorizing is encouraged, being mindful of others around you is essential. Avoid wearing oversized accessories that could obstruct the view of players sitting behind you. 

Large-brimmed hats, excessive feathered fascinators, or chunky statement necklaces may look stunning, but they could create a visual barrier for those trying to focus on their own bingo cards. Opt for stylish yet reasonably sized accessories, ensuring a clear line of sight for everyone in the bingo hall.

Dress for the Occasion: Follow the Theme

Bingo events occasionally have themes, so it’s always a good idea to check if there’s a specific dress code or theme for the evening. Theme nights can add an extra layer of excitement and camaraderie among participants. 

If there’s a theme, embrace it and let your imagination run wild. Whether it’s a retro ’80s night, a glamorous red carpet event, or a pajama party, go all out and dress up accordingly. Just remember to strike a balance between adhering to the theme and maintaining your personal style.

Dress for Success: Keep It Classy and Respectful

While bingo nights out can be casual and fun, it’s important to maintain an air of class and respectability in your fashion choices. Avoid wearing clothing that may be offensive, overly revealing, or inappropriate for a family-friendly environment. 

Keep it tasteful and considerate of the diverse age groups present at bingo events. A well-put-together outfit with elegance and sophistication will always be a winning choice.

Stay Stylish and Comfortable: Footwear Choices for Bingo Nights

When attending a bingo event, choosing footwear that combines style and comfort is important. Opt for shoes that allow you to move freely and comfortably throughout the venue. Avoid high heels or uncomfortable shoes that may leave you with sore feet by the night’s end. 

Instead, consider fashionable yet practical options like flats, sneakers, or low-heeled boots. These choices will ensure you can enjoy the excitement of the game without any discomfort or distractions.

Bingo Nights and the Importance of Good Grooming

While fashion choices play a significant role in your bingo night outfit, prioritizing good grooming is equally important. 

Ensure you look polished and put-together by paying attention to details like clean and neatly styled hair, well-maintained nails, and fresh breath. Simple touches like these can make a big difference in your overall appearance and boost your confidence as you engage with fellow bingo enthusiasts. Remember, it’s not just about what you wear but how well you present yourself.

Protect Your Online Experience: The Role of VPNs in Online Bingo

In an increasingly digital world, online bingo has gained popularity, allowing players to enjoy the game from the comfort of their homes. When engaging in online bingo, protecting your privacy and security is essential. 

This is where Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) come into play. A VPN encrypts your internet connection, ensuring that your online activities, including playing bingo, remain private and secure. By masking your IP address and encrypting your data, a VPN prevents unauthorized access and safeguards your personal information. 

So, before embarking on your online bingo adventure, consider using a reliable VPN to enhance your online security and enjoy a worry-free gaming experience. Learn how to install one, cancel your current VPN like it’s covered here – https://www.reddit.com/r/VPNAdvice/comments/14me2d1/how_to_cancel_nordvpn_and_what_other_vpn_do_you/ and what are the best options. 

Conclusion

And there you have it, bingo fashionistas! As you gear up for your next bingo night out, remember these fashion dos and don’ts. Dress comfortably, embrace casual chic, and accessorize with flair to showcase your unique style. 

Be mindful of others and avoid oversized accessories that could obstruct views. If specified, follow any themes or dress codes, and always maintain a classy and respectful appearance.

Armed with these fashion tips, you’re ready to strut your stuff and have a blast at the bingo hall. So, join the bingo fever, connect with fellow players, and enjoy the excitement of the game.
