1/15/2024 0 Comments Trust in faith pearl jam unplugged![]() ![]() “ Christmas Must Mean Something More,” The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection (2007) She was seven years past “All Too Well” at this point, long enough to put away the baby food.Ģ06. Indeed, there’s something patronizing about kicking off an album full of gems like “Cornelia Street” and “Cruel Summer” with a song that makes Kidz Bop sound like In Our Time. The attempt to reclaim a sense of youthful innocence works only by stripping out anything else that’s interesting or pleasurable about the music. After the Sturm und Drang of the Reputation era, “ Me!” was a return to bubblegum pop, a mission statement that says “I’m through making mission statements.” While self-awareness may be Swift’s superpower, it fails her here. “Me!” is the exception: The more you hear it, the worse it sucks. Like another famous Pennsylvanian, this is a living document. Additionally, many rankings have changed to reflect the author’s evolving taste. It has been updated to include Swift’s subsequent releases. *This list was originally published in November 2017. I’ll try to make slight allowances for age, reserving the harshest criticism for the songs written when Swift was an adult millionaire. Finally, because Swift’s career began so young, we’re left in the awkward position of judging work done by a literal high schooler, which can feel at times like punching down. ![]() The original version of this list included covers the updated version of 2023 removes these in the interest of concision, as well as recognition that songwriting is an essential element in Swift’s songbook. For similar reasons, the “Taylor’s Version” re-recordings are not afforded their own blurbs. Some ground rules: We’re ranking every Taylor Swift song that’s ever been released with her name on it - which means we must sadly leave out the unreleased 9/11 song “Didn’t They” as well as Nils Sjöberg’s “This Is What You Came For” - excluding tracks where Swift is merely “featured” (no one’s reading this list for B.o.B.’s “Both of Us”) but including a few duets where she gets an “and” credit. No matter how high your defenses, I guarantee you’ll find at least one that breaks them down. I count at least fifteen stone-cold classics in her discography. (A carpetbagger from the Pennsylvania suburbs, she became an expert code-switcher early in her career and never looked back.) And when it comes to writing instantly memorable pop songs, her only peers are a few anonymous Swedish guys, none of whom perform their own stuff. ![]() She may not have the raw vocal power of some of her competitors, but what she lacks in Mariah-level range she makes up for in versatility and personality. The passage of time hits you like a brick.Įven with the widespread critical embrace of poptimism there are still those who see Swift as just another industry widget, a Miley or Katy with the tuner set to “girl with a guitar.” If this list does anything, I hope it convinces you that, underneath all the think pieces, exes, and feuds, she is one of our era’s great singer-songwriters. Returning to them every few years, as I have since writing this list, is a strangely melancholy experience. Listen to too many and you might ache again at the nagging feeling that those stories of yours have all been a bit uneventful and drab by comparison. Which is why, whether you’re a casual listener who bops along to the radio hits, or one of those die-hards who takes her every utterance as a modern Rosetta Stone, it’s easy to feel like you know Swift on a personal level. Listen to her songs and you’ll ache at the resemblance to the most dramatic moments in your own private history. There have been wobbles, most notably in 2016-17, but on the whole she has retained a command of her star image rivaled only by Beyonce and Bowie. As a celebrity, Swift’s most remarkable gift is her ability to keep art and commerce, public life and private life, operating in lockstep. “Like so many millennials born into the upper middle class, Swift has benefited from the demise of the concept of selling out,” Time noted in 2014. The Swift we hear on her albums is a thin-skinned, bighearted obsessive, prone to introspection, with a penchant for romantic moments huge and small. Though the sound of her music has evolved since her debut, the voice at the heart of it has stayed consistent. To chart her journey - from the country romance of her teens, to the imperial pop of her twenties, to the ambivalent ruminations of her thirties - is to follow a generation coming of age. ![]() Meaning that, for millions of listeners, she is not just another pop star she is someone they have grown up with, and who has grown up with them. Taylor Swift was born in December 1989, near the peak of the Millennial Baby Boom, and has been famous since she was 16. ![]()

1/14/2024 0 Comments Serenity film 2019![]() What’s a father to do? Baker seems to be getting telepathic messages from his kid to save him from this predatory stepdad. If you don’t want Baker to kill Frank instantly you will when you learn that the sleaze viciously beats Karen and the boy. Then the creep shows up asking about a place on the island where “little girls will take it in the ass for 10 bucks a pop.” #Eww. At first, Baker is reluctant to go for the bucks to kill Karen’s husband Frank, played by Jason Clarke like a hateful glare made flesh. Serenity is a movie where everyone plays at the “game” of life.Īre you catching the film’s inexorable drift into haunted psyche territory? Serenity plays like the bastard child of Body Heat and The Sixth Sense, minus the heat and the sense. Enter Hathaway in a blonde wig as Karen, an old love with whom he fathered a son, Patrick (Rafael Sayegh), a teen who buries his love for his absent father in video games. The allegory overload is crushing.Īt night, Baker enjoys sweaty sex with Constance (Diane Lane), who pays him for the privilege and begs him to find her missing cat (more metaphors). Justice, that beast, belongs to him, though he can’t seem to catch him. The thing is Baker goes nuts if any of his customers even come close to hooking the fish. The movie just plods along as we watch McConaughey, as Iraq veteran turned fishing-boat captain Baker Dill, go tropical on Plymouth Island, a paradise off the Florida coast (the film was shot in Mauritius in the Indian Ocean). Baker and his faithful first mate, Duke (Djimon Hounsou), spend their days taking out rich tourists to hook a tuna Baker calls the “beast” or “Justice” - pick your favorite metaphor. ![]() Serenity goes wrong in ways that are more staggeringly dull than perversely delicious. Serenity finds new definitions of bad that almost make the damn thing worth watching for its magnificent flameout.īut almost doesn’t cut it. ![]() And yet the batshit bonkers Serenity fails on every level, first as entertainment and then as a new-agey thumbsucker about a magical, mystical tour through the subconscious. How can you miss with a film noir starring Matthew McConaughey as a fisherman tempted by femme fatale Anne Hathaway to feed her sadistic husband to the sharks for $10 million? And, hell, the script is by Steven Knight, who did himself proud with Dirty Pretty Things and Eastern Promises and directed the formidable Locke with Tom Hardy. ![]() 1/14/2024 0 Comments Hitfilm express![]() ![]() Mac users working with computers sporting the latest in-house CPUs, will also welcome extended support for Apple Silicon. You’ll find most other improvements for this version to be under the hood.įor instance, the Puppet effect has been enhanced, HitFilm now supports a wider range of TIFF images, and there’s a new user preference to enable or disable mouse wheel scrolling in dropdown menus. The previous powerful tools, such as impressive color correction, are still present (Image credit: FXHome) Still, at least you can try them out to see how you like the included effects, but just like that big, forever present, ‘Upgrade’ button, it doesn’t leave a good taste in the mouth. But if you’re looking for a genuine alternative to Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects alternatives, you’ll need to move on to HitFilm Pro, which offers the best of both worlds. The inclusion of VFX software, making HitFilm a true all-in-one post-production tool, is a nice touch. If you browse through all the available effects, you’ll see that most can really only be used by upgrading. Free video editing software without watermarks hidden somewhere in the app are rare. We should stress this is not an unusual sales tactic. The only way to remove it, is to either get a subscription, or grab a perpetual license. They’re very easy to use and can be a nice addition to your editing and compositing arsenal, except there’s a catch: although you can use them with the free HitFilm version, those effects will be watermarked. ![]() These allow you to essentially paint lines along a path, using points that you can easily turn into curves to give a more organic feel to what you’re drawing. HitFilms boasts a few new effects - but they can only be used without a watermark if you upgrade (Image credit: FXHome)Īnother new addition for HitFilm version 2022.1 is the inclusion of stroke and vector stroke effects. ![]() This is a most welcome addition - it makes HitFIlm one of the best video editor apps for beginners, and the bundled tutorials are sure to improve a new editor’s abilities quickly. Here, you’re graced with three videos explaining the basics - the lowdown of the interface, how to manage your media, and how to export your finished product.īut there’s a lot more: click on ‘All Categories’ to see all 39 available videos designed to teach you about most aspects of filmmaking, including green screen work, changing the pitch of audio, and tweaking a clip’s color balance, among others. You can toggle it on and off through a simple button, to the right of the top menus. So many windows or panels, so many options, where to start?įor that reason, we really appreciated the new Sidebar, simply called ‘Learn’. If you’re new to software for editing videos, launching such an app can feel daunting. Self learningįancy some tutoring? You can learn many things through numerous tutorials without having to leave the interface (Image credit: FXHome) Maybe being subtle didn’t work for them with the previous look, but this is garish and obtrusive, and really a major step down in our opinion. The justification for that might be the giant ‘Upgrade’ button, top right, constantly reminding you that, really, you should be sending FXHome some money every month by taking up one of their juicy subscriptions. Sadly, if you’re running HitFilm on a Mac, the interface guidelines aren’t being respected, with the Menu Bar being ignored, and the menus respecting the Windows principles instead, unnecessarily eating up precious real estate. Thankfully, there's an option to turn this off and return the menu back where it belongs, but why is this 'feature' not on by default? Gone is the off-white look that graced the version we looked at two years ago, replaced with a sleeker, more modern, dark gray design. The interface has had a pretty major revamp. HitFilm boasts a new look, and most of the tools you know are still there (Image credit: FXHome) ![]() 1/14/2024 0 Comments Jay z music streaming![]() ![]() ![]() It’s a victory for Spotify, who has been trying to get labels in charge of music licences to take a smaller cut of profits in order to strengthen its revenue stream. The deal came after months of negotiations between Universal and Spotify. SEE ALSO: Closer to ‘Music for Everyone’: Spotify set to launch in Japan next month Tidal is beginning to close ranks and consolidate its assets as the Universal-Spotify deal has thrown a huge gauntlet down into the music streaming industry. Some parties argue it might be a bit late for Jay Z to be pulling his catalog when Tidal has been out for almost two years now, but the sentiment is there. It makes sense why Jay Z would have pulled his catalog from Spotify – Jay Z’s fanbase is still large and could pad out Tidal’s small subscriber numbers. Apple Music has said it has 20 million subscribers at last count, while newcomer Amazon could potentially have a base of 10 million. It has around three million subscribers, while Spotify has around 100 million users, 50 million of whom pay its monthly fee. However, Tidal’s numbers are miniscule compared to its rivals. ![]() His move to step into the music streaming business was borne out of frustration with the shoddy compensation artists receive from online music services. The service boasts many of Jay Z’s peers and some of the biggest names in the business, such as Rihanna, Alicia Keys, and wife Beyonce’s Lemonade, which is exclusively available on Tidal. He touted the service as a self-proclaimed artist-friendly service with better royalty deals and improved sound quality. Jay Z acquired Tidal in 2015 for US$56 million. ![]() |
