Top Five Live Covers You Should Watch
Not too much on denigrating the art of the cover, now. Especially, as I've made clear, the live one. It's often high stakes thanks to some inaugural, celebratory, or tribute event in an arena, maybe even in front of the original artist. The live cover, in my opinion, is how an artist truly earns their stripes. Have they made it their own whilst honouring the original? Have they chosen the right track, or indeed been chosen for the event correctly? And ultimately, can they sing someone else's notes and lyrics with new, exciting meaning without changing its DNA?

Liv Hanna Kicks Off the Month with "AGAIN3X"
Soon-to-be superstar Liv Hanna kicks off the month of November with her new release, "AGAIN3X." "AGAIN3X" follows the 21-year-old songstress' penultimate song of the year, "Proud of Yourself." The two records are drastically different sonically. The budding singer-songwriter experiments with a new sound in "AGAIN3X," again showcasing the versatility that she possesses and the one of a kind talent that she is. "AGAIN3X" is a record that masterfully blends Alt-Pop, Hyperpop, Pop-Punk, and Pop Rock.

Brequette could've won
I was in a random discussion with a Spanish speaker about this... I don't remember how it came about, ah yes. I heard Håll om mig in the background of a Insta reel and made me remember how fun keeping up with Eurovision was. Then the distant memory of Brequette came back to me.

The Tragic Back Story of Emily
If you have watched Tim Burton's Corpse Bride (2005), a nervous wreck Victor (voiced by Johnny Depp) who is engaged to his fiance Victoria (voiced by Emily Watson) has failed the wedding rehearsal so strolls into the dark wooden forest area. He was trying to pull himself together until he finally got his vows right and put the ring meant for Victoria on the tree branch that looked like a hand which Victor thought it was until the tree branch moved, grabbing his arm until Victor freed himself. A woman comes out from the ground dressed in a wrecked wedding dress with a veil covering her face, she unveils her face saying, "I do." Victor runs from her and the corpse follows him until he made it out of the forest until he kissed the bride at the bridge when she confronts him while a bunch of ravens hover them. Victor was transported to the death world filled with people who are already dead even though he isn't dead. In the death world, the corpse bride is revealed to be Emily (voiced by Helena Bonham Carter) and she has been dead for years. We learned that her story was very dark and tragic. Her story was told by the song, "Remains of the Day" written by Danny Elfman and sung by himself as Bonejangles singing the story of the "beloved Corpse bride".
