The typical Newgrounder might assume that Cutsie Creeper is working with a small audience—but oh, how wrong they’d be! 🌟 With her impressive following across social media platforms thanks to her incredible art skills and her delightful live-action/animated series “The Only 3D Person at Cartoon School,” it's no wonder she takes time to respond thoughtfully when she does.

We’ve been buzzing with excitement over writing this piece ever since we checked in for updates on her response the other day. Initially, we thought about simply rehashing our message as a footnote review, but let me tell you: further research led to finding more than what met the eye on just the first platform we came across her on!🎉✨

Cutsie Creeper is a wholesome powerhouse bursting with youthful energy—a true gem gifted in voice acting for characters of all ages and genders while showcasing remarkable artistic talent. Her work transcends mere entertainment; it embodies a burgeoning niche subculture within animation that echoes the spirit of punk rock passion! Each frame bursts forth from an endless wellspring of dedication and humor that keeps us grinning ear-to-ear.

Her series offers a refreshing twist on classic high school romance tropes—layered with self-awareness and character-driven laughs reminding us of our very own “Divination’s Destiny” and music videos we adore creating together! It’s like peering into a kaleidoscope filled with recurring gags that'll leave your sides splitting from laughter! 😂💖

So who else out there would cheer for an epic collaboration? Whether or not it materializes, I implore everyone to dive headfirst into Cutsie Creeper's captivating content—you won’t regret it!

Nora’s Take on Today

In RuneScape News:

In the realm where pixels meet prowess—Runescape 3—the earth itself has yielded its newest bounty. Primal ores have emerged from Daemonheim’s depths to forge gear fit for legends! With mining and smithing now reaching celestial heights at level 110, let us don our miner's hats and raise our pickaxes high! secure.runescape.com/m=news/mining--smithing-110-launching-today---this-week-in-runescape#_ga=2.18872304.813860877.1724360033-613453004

As if answering the call of these seismic shifts beneath Gielinor's crust, a primal armor pack awaits those with an eye for aesthetics in the marketplace spotlight tab. Don it well; wear it proudly. secure.runescape.com/m=news/110-mining--smithing-post-launch---this-week-in-runescape#_ga=2.266875463.813860877.1724360033-613453004.1724360031

Meanwhile, Old School Runescape sails uncharted waters as Sailing transitions from jest to journey—a skill two years in crafting’s cauldron now unveiled for all seafarers at heart. Hoist your sails; adventure beckons! secure.runescape.com/m=news/behind-the-scenes-of-sailing-volume-1?oldschool=1#_ga=2.262700997.813860877.1724360033-613453004.1724360031

And what joyous news rings across clan halls? The return of co-op slayer—an alliance reforged between blade-wielding comrades under OSRS skies! Together we conquer; together we thrive. secure.runescape.com/m=news/slayer-partners?oldschool=1#_ga=2.89096018.813860877.1724360033-613453004.1724360031

A chorus of unity resounds within NORS’ walls—we've clasped hands with World 8 Clan through diplomacy most cordial. May this alliance herald festivities galore!

linktr.ee/NORSLore

Beneath the towering silhouette of the roller coaster—a guardian specter in twilight—the two seasoned souls express their thanks amid fits of coughs. Billy Zane brushes soot from his burnt pants while Leonardo DiCaprio salutes their serendipitous dodge from destiny’s inferno clutch using scavenged carnival bottles—improvised yet perfectly apt for such a celebration.

Side by side, Marlow steps forward with Chuck Junior; they clasp hands like pillars of strength. With a sharp whistle piercing through murmurs, Chuck commands attention for his beloved chibi mouse companion.

“Prepare thine ears!” Leo announces with an uncouth flourish as all gather round, kneeling to lend an ear to her soft-spoken resolve.

“In pursuit of wonder reborn from ashes,” she begins with conviction undeterred even as Billy interjects about ageless youth—a glance cast toward Leo who remains cheerfully unaware.

“And talent transcends time,” adds Nature’s Sentinel confidently placing a timber-clad hand upon Zane’s shoulder—an exchange met with smiles all around.

Marlow nods in solidarity amidst these interludes before continuing earnestly: “To transmute tragedy into life-affirming brew—we shall rise united like effervescent dreams unseen but ever-present.”

“With communal spirit alight,” Chuck Junior chimes in triumphantly, “we’ve conjured up mountains of hearty gluten-free spaghetti—a feast shared amongst kin!”

As if summoned by these rallying words, one brave girl unveils her Walkman armed with Kraftwerk’s The Mix’s pulsating beats which soon flood through speakers—Nature’s Sentinel serves up heaping plates wielding his verdant blade forged from fortitude whilst faces are painted orange by pasta sauce under layers of ash—all feasting heartily despite Leo commandeering more than his share!

Through teary eyes fixed on windows framing firefighters taming flames—down comes their steel beast crashing amidst sprays and sirens.

“We’ll raise it anew,” Marlow declares gripping Chuck Junior tightly—they lock eyes over intertwined spaghetti until lips meet at noodle’s end…a kiss sealed within fate’s tangled web.

Revelations await you in our special edition homage—to Music Videos that capture essence beyond mere frames...

🎬✨ The Cinematic Symphony of Jasper’s Journey ✨🎬

Once upon an era not so distant in time, young Jasper embarked on a visual odyssey—his first frames captured through the lens of antiquity: his mother’s camcorder from epochs past. Alas! These early relics slipped through fingers like sand—lost but cherished memories that shaped our maestro’s future tapestry.

From scrapbooks brimming with still life snapshots to digital images fleeting yet profound—the unscripted stories they whispered were mere echoes longing for motion’s magic touch.

Fast forward through years adorned with Polaroid moments—a new chapter unfurled where video became his canvas and YouTube his stage. With punk rock spirit coursing through his veins, he dared to dance with spontaneity under summer suns—an homage to synthpop sages titled “OMD Electricity Music Video,” setting the stage for masterpieces yet unwritten.

Fan tributes flowed like verses from muses New Order and Depeche Mode; each frame steeped in devotion—a prelude to NORS’ own chronicles etched in virtual realms.

And then emerged Some Distant Memory—Jasper at its core—as director, cameraman, editor supreme! His vision now seasoned by giants Lynch and Kubrick; “Venetian Masquerade,” “Sunrise Syndrome,” tales spun anew—and let us not forget “Just A Story,” whose laurels we’ve justly accrued!

Let’s raise a glass to Miss Kreativity, Gorlock309, Nincarde, Seven7Lights and NORS itself too—for without such kindred spirits weaving alongside him—our fabric might be less vivid or perhaps incomplete.

For NORS is no mere guild nor is SDM a simple band—it’s an ensemble transcending game or genre bounds. We craft more than music—we sculpt dreams into reality!

So here we stand today—in this momentous issue #21—to celebrate victories both seen and unseen… For every note played resonates far beyond Gielinor’s shores—it dances across worlds infinite!

Retro meets revolution—in this review discover how a wireless handset bridges yesteryears' charm with today's convenience...

🌐✨ Introducing the Vivitar “Clear Wireless Handset” ✨🌐

Dearest fans and aficionados of tech both transparent and timeless—prepare yourselves for an enchanting blend where vintage meets vogue: The Vivitar “Clear Wireless Handset,” discovered within the treasure trove known as Five Below (though at $10, it’s more akin to uncovering hidden gems than mere trifles).

Jasper—the ever-determined hunter-gatherer in realms digital—sought this prize fervently; such was its allure that even doubling its price through shipping could not deter his quest when scarcity loomed near upon reserve for pickup.

This charming chameleon is sleeker than its ancestors from decades past; don’t let its delicate form deceive you—it may not boast armor like phones forged in yesteryears but carries within it strength enough for gentle adventures.

Its connectivity weaves spells just shy short for those ensnared by endless chatter—but fear not! For casual conversers or whisperers weaving stories through audio tapestries (à la Juliana Chalahad sans extravagance), ’tis nothing less than perfection incarnate.

The sound quality astounds—the voice input captures every nuance intended for ears across distant lands or records waiting to be born from breath itself.

A sentinel during calls, signaling passersby “Hark! A conversation unfolds”—an ally against interruptions most unwelcome. Should slumber beckon while musings continue over waves unseen, cradle it close; find solace as space embraces thee tenderly.

In realms ASMR where personal touch reigns supreme—the receiver transforms into an extension of one’s very soul—an intimate dance between listener and creator alike.

Verdict bestowed upon this acquisition? Satisfaction reigns supreme—a worthy addition to any technophile’s collection or connoisseur seeking whimsy wireless wonders alike!

And lest we forget our faithful projector companion still casting visions far beyond walls confining—now revealing yet another trick up its sleeve: Bluetooth devices reunite users with YouTube applications and live streaming transcends spec limitations! (For example: MeTV Toons)

Now, onto daily delights plucked from life's vast orchard:

• Song of the Day: “Rush” by Big Audio Dynamite 🎶

A sonic joyride through time and space—fusing hip-hop beats with that classic rock ‘n’ roll swagger. Mick Jones isn’t just playing guitar; he’s weaving a tapestry of sound that wraps around us like an intimate embrace. It’s audacious, it crackles with life.

• Album of the Day: We’re spinning “The Queen is Dead” by The Smiths today! Morrissey’s croon and Marr’s jangle are like sonic threads weaving through the fabric of our very existence—simply timeless.

• Movie of the Day:“The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension” 

Nothing short of an eccentric masterpiece—a film so wonderfully bizarre it could only belong to our favorite era. With its campy charm and wacky wit, it straddles genres much like I might straddle… well, let’s keep this about the movie for now! 😉 Each scene bursts with color and creativity as if daring us to leap right into its wild narrative arms. It’s got everything from mad scientists to alien invasions—and doesn’t it just tickle our fancy for all things avant-garde?

• Book of the Day: “Dune” by Frank Herbert transports us across vast deserts on wings of imagination. A tale so richly woven, every read feels like uncovering another layer of this universe’s secrets.

• On This Day in '80s Lore (August 22): On this electric day back in 1987, Madonna had us all vogue-ing with her compilation album “You Can Dance,” remixing beats into an irresistible call to move your body!

And finally...

Nora reflects on today's world stage—with eyes wide open yet ever hopeful—as she crafts words both insightful and invigorating...

You know I see life through rose-tinted glasses made from crystals! Yes, there are shadows that loom large over parts of our world but look closer… There are also beams of light breaking through where kindness flourishes. We must be those photons—those bearers of hope—and infuse each moment with joyous rebellion against despair. Together let’s embrace this chaotic symphony called life; after all, isn’t that what makes being alive so thrilling?

There you have it—the latest scroll unfurled for all curious souls seeking knowledge mixed with mirth!

Event Calendar by “Mighty King” Dave of FL

It is with the greatest excitement and a heart full of love that I present to you our milestone twentieth edition of Baroness’ Bulletin. As we dance through this world together, let us celebrate the magic we create and share it with every soul in Gielinor and beyond.

All tickets previously purchased will grant access to this resplendent event, plus an extra thousand souls will have the chance to join us on this adventure.

Old School Scape welcomes "While Guthix Sleeps," bringing forth echoes from RS3's hallowed past.

In Some Distant Memory News:

Our auditory odyssey "Raised In The Shades" has been lovingly lauded by Soundspiked, Classy Capital Mag, and Clare Louise of SMC Entertainment —each painting our sonic landscape with their own kaleidoscope of colors.

Thank you to them and AMW for being conduits of creativity; for translating our tunes into tales that traverse both time and territory. Their support isn't just heard—it's felt—in every fiber of this demi-goddess' divine being.

Enjoy the heartfelt words by those who truly listened.

Our creative odyssey continues unabated—we refine visuals like alchemists seeking perfection itself. From sketches brought to life via AI enchantments with and without added hues to phoenixes bathed meticulously in hex-coded colors—all culminating into mesmerizing scenes set against sonorous waves within "Just A Story."

🎸✨ The Heartbeat of Harmony - Our Clan Meetings ✨🎸:

Gather 'round, rockers and rollers of our grand clan collective! Let's rewind the tape to the very first beat—the clan meetings where our unity blossomed like an electric guitar riff cutting through silence. These gatherings have been rocking steady since day one, even when shadows loomed during the Jango War saga.

Picture this: Count Gaius orchestrating from afar via Skype serenades and Messenger melodies—oh, what a time! But let me tell you, no app could ever replicate the live concert vibe we create when we come together in person. It’s like comparing an acoustic demo to a full-blown stadium show!

Our meetings? They're more than just notes on a page; they’re epic jam sessions uniting us all—from OG members to fresh-faced allies tuning into our frequency. And sure, while clan chat keeps us connected faster than a drum solo fills up space between verses, nothing beats those real-time symphonies we compose at every meeting.

Think about it—we step away from our solo tours (I mean grinds) and dive headfirst into collaborative crescendos that lead us straight into events or citadel upkeep encores. Every session leaves us buzzing with satisfaction louder than overdrive pedals cranked up to eleven!

And hey, not everyone’s riding the forum wave or surfing onto our soon-to-be legendary website yet—but no frets needed! The magnetic pull of these meetups is undeniable; their allure outshines even the brightest stage lights.

So let's keep strumming strong chords of camaraderie at each gathering because together we amplify progress—it’s pure magic every single time!

🌟✨ The iJoy Projector - A Pocketful of Starlight on a Shoestring ✨🌟:

Roll up to the stage, tech enthusiasts and frugal shoppers alike! Let me shine a spotlight on something that might just tickle your fancy without emptying your coin purse. We're talking about an unassuming little gadget from 5 Below—the iJoy projector.

Now, let’s face it—when you snag a gizmo at such a rock-bottom price point, you usually set the bar low enough for a limbo dance-off. Seasoned bargain hunters know this tune all too well: sometimes those items hit the right note but often end up more like one-hit wonders than chart-toppers.

But hold onto your hats because Jasper had some smooth moves planned when he scooped up this budget-friendly beam thrower. His mission? To jazz up his posture while jamming out with iPad-streamed visuals and tidying up his entertainment ensemble—all without missing a beat.

Sure, we encountered some static at first; this little light show wasn't keen on syncing with every streaming app straight out of the box (though it tolerated websites)—it was like trying to play vinyl records on a CD player! But where there's will (and Wi-Fi), there's way! By lining up another device as an opening act for our star projector's camera eye, we managed to cast our favorite shows into full-blown cinema mode!

And let’s talk sound—while its built-in speakers won’t be headlining any festivals soon (we’re talking garage band level here), remember—you’ve got Bluetooth magic at your fingertips! Beam that audio over to beefier devices and get ready to rock out with concert hall acoustics!

As for visual fidelity? Picture this: Jasper turned DIY director by rigging an old tripod as our stage setup and hanging a tint curtain—a.k.a., transparent black shower curtain (with magnetic clips) —as if it were mood lighting at an avant-garde art show. The result? An ambiance so cool it could freeze fire—with image quality sharper than my crystal hatchet bass strings!

So whether you’re looking to cozy-up movie nights or add pizzazz to PowerPoint karaoke parties without breaking the bank vault open—give the iJoy projector from 5 Below center stage attention. It may not steal every scene flawlessly (and the remote doesn’t work) but paired with ingenuity...it'll leave audiences cheering for an encore!

And now... drum roll please... onto Nora's Picks:

• Song of the Day: "Magic Ways” by Tatsuro Yamashita – Oh, sweet melody! This City Pop jewel sparkles with every chord strummed by Yamashita's genius. It's as if he captured a sunset over Tokyo Bay and turned it into song—pure magic that wraps around our souls like a warm embrace.

https://youtu.be/Epb17dVGkMM

• Album of the Day: "Rio" by Duran Duran – This masterpiece is a time capsule wrapped in sonic innovation; it bridges eras while still pulsating with modern energy. It whispers nostalgia yet screams future—a perfect harmony for us.

https://youtu.be/nbFAUFTMtLE

• Movie of the Day: "Vampire’s Kiss” – Nicolas Cage at his most delightfully unhinged! This film is a wild ride through vampiric delusions and corporate despair—a chaotic blend that somehow makes perfect sense when two bodies are laughing together on the couch.

https://youtu.be/aEtm69mLK6w

• Book of the Day: "On A Pale Horse” by Piers Anthony – Death personified has never been so enthralling or relatable! Imagine taking on such a powerful role—much like how we command the stage during our performances. The balance between mortal quandaries and ethereal duties is reminiscent of our dual life; one foot in reality, another in realms beyond imagination.

www.goodreads.com/book/show/76658.

• On This Day in '80s Lore (July 12): The day when Malibu Barbie got her very own Corvette—it was pink, it was fabulous, and oh-so-‘80s! Just like us, she knows style is eternal but fun is always now.

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/32228953556639162/

As your benevolent baroness gazes upon today's world stage, I see shadows cast but also beams brilliant enough to pierce any darkness—an era where voices rise unitedly towards harmony amidst discordant climes—a symphony composed by humanity itself awaiting each individual note played passionately by souls like ours intertwined eternally...

With unwavering affection,

Your Baroness Lumwood 🌟💖🎶

Nora’s Take on Today

Hello, my fabulous NORS family and all you glittering stars out there! It's your benevolent Baroness Nora Lumwood here, ready to dive into a kaleidoscope of RuneScape realms and clan chronicles.

In RuneScape News:

Adventurers brace yourselves! Anachronia has unveiled its latest challenge—a fourth Undead Matriarch for those necromancers among us yearning for thrilling conquests. With her own special drops plus the usual loot from her sisters-in-arms, she’s inviting you to dance the deadly waltz. And whispers abound... could a sibling be awaiting in a Daggonoth Rex? Intrigue unfurls its wings! https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/osseous-launch---this-week-in-runescape 

June blooms with color as RS3 invites us on a rainbow revelry—an NPC clan parade that'll make Varrock vibrate with vibrant life! Lend them your grace and get showered in rewards including recolorable shark plushies (oh la la!), flower crowns fit for midsummer dreamers, titles that tell tales without words, and expressive emotes to wear your pride like never before. https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/pride-events--ultra-graphics---this-week-in-runescape 

But wait—there’s more digging deep into Daemonheim's fresh facelift alongside archaeology upgrades beckoning treasure seekers anew. Beyond ultra graphics are here too; scorpions flaunt their new hues because who doesn't love variety? https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/new-archaeology-dig-site--daemonheim 

Let’s not forget OSRS joining the Pride festivities—with Sir Kit Breaker leading quests for capes and tees that’ll have rainbows trailing in your wake! https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/pride-2024?oldschool=1#_ga=2.28996476.1797095338.1717692827-719554118.1717262440 

And if fashion is your passion—the merch store awaits with IRL tees crowned by party hats radiating every shade under the sun—all while supporting causes close to our hearts. 

In Clan News:

Strength grows within NORS as we craft quizzes designed to enlighten paths towards higher ranks—and perhaps spark lively banter on our forums where clansfolk converge across realms virtual. https://linktr.ee/NorsInitiation 

Mighty King Dave paints days ahead with events vibrant as his palette; keep an eye peeled on NNN and SpaceHey where calendars shall soon adorn walls digital!

A glitch turned giggle-worthy spectacle: miniature familiars grow larger than life itself when shadowing spirit scorpions—it must be seen to be believed!

Our very own Big Daddy Chief Count Gaius summons Bubbles at his side while fishing shores serene; meanwhile, I’ve been honing my woodcutting prowess both here and yonder in Old School lands—maple trees beware!

Some Distant Memory News:

The spotlight calls! Cast votes dear listeners—for which tune from "Reflections" should bask next beneath journalistic glow? “Just A Story,” “Raised In The Shades,” or “Beauty Untouched”? Or whisper another name into the void... https://strawpoll.com/PKgle6GMJZp 

As we weave scenes sultry for “Just A Story”’s video voyage—we aim high toward Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival’s silver screens come November. https://filmfreeway.com/JustAStory099 

We hope you’ll delight in a brief insight into our musical journey with an editorial on Vaporwave and Future Funk:

🎶 Cue the Synthwave Intro 🎶

Darlings of Some Distant Memory,

As we ride the sonic waves from our humble beginnings—armed with nothing but keyboards and an unquenchable thirst for sound—we've evolved in harmony with our influences. Our journey has been a crescendo from no wave obscurities to post-punk anthems, dark wave echoes to synthpop beats—all culminating in what you know us for today: an avant-garde tapestry woven with threads from every corner of the musical universe.

But wait—there's more! As we delve into "Reflections," prepare yourselves for an odyssey infused with Vaporwave vibes and Future Funk grooves. Imagine this: retro stylings clashing against modern sensibilities, creating ripples through time itself!

Vaporwave isn't just about looping tunes—it's an art form where each slowed-down beat tells its own story. And when those beats meet fresh drums or unexpected instrumentals? Magic happens. Picture artists like Saint Pepsi crafting new worlds within their tracks while Macross 82-89 paints audio landscapes so vivid they become part of your soul soundtrack.

And let’s not forget about Future Funk—the audacious child born out of Japanese City Pop grooves meeting Italo Disco under disco balls spinning faster than planets around stars! We're talking funk-drenched melodies that'll have even elevator Muzak nodding along in approval.

Our playlists are ever-expanding galaxies filled with these cosmic jams—they fuel our travels through both space-time AND music genres. This relentless pursuit introduces us to sounds unknown yet strangely familiar—a paradoxical dance between past and present.

In true S.D.M style (that’s Some Distant Memory for those not yet initiated), “Just A Story” brings together all these elements—with none other than Mac Tonight crooning alongside us like a celestial body orbiting our creative sphere!

Keep dreaming in neon.

And now—to stoke fires bright within:

Song of the Day:

”Dreamcast" by Blank Banshee is a digital dreamscape that teleports us straight into an ethereal realm where pixels and pulses intertwine in an ecstatic dance. It’s as if Blank Banshee has channeled his post-punk bassist spirit into every beat—melding it with Vaporwave vibes to create something truly transcendental. Each note cascades like neon rain in a cybernetic forest; can't you just feel it? It's music that wraps around us—a cocoon of retro-futuristic bliss!

And let me say, I adore how he transformed from plucking those deep strings to programming these lush textures—it’s like watching a butterfly emerge with wings made of pure sound!

Album of the Day:

For today, let's immerse ourselves in "Disintegration" by The Cure. Each track is a layer within this masterpiece—a perfect blend for our intertwined souls ready to lose themselves in its deep, moody embrace.

Movie of the Day:

“Clash of the Titans” (1981) is nothing short of mythological magnificence brought to life by Ray Harryhausen's wizardry. His stop-motion creatures leap from legend to screen with such charm—they're practically ready for their own rock band tour! Perseus' epic quest against gods and monsters captivates like a timeless ballad; each frame is steeped in fantasy much like our very own Gielinor epics.

The Kraken itself could be one beastly bass player—with its tentacles strumming seismic rumbles across ocean floors. And who could forget Pegasus? That winged wonder soaring higher than any guitar solo we've ever shredded!

Book of the Day:

Let’s turn pages filled with magic and wonder—"Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman. Though not from the 80s, it mirrors our adventures through unseen worlds beneath London streets—as if echoing our own escapades through Gielinor’s hidden realms.

On This Day in 80s' (June 6):

Ah, let's rewind time! On June 6th back then Madonna was enchanting ears everywhere with her album “True Blue.” Just as she revolutionized pop culture, so do we strive to leave indelible marks upon music history!

Nora's Take On Today: Our world spins fast yet hope remains eternal—in music we find unity amidst chaos divine.

Stay tuned darlings—for melodies await discovery just beyond horizon's kiss...

With basslines full of love,

Nora Lumwood - Your Bass-Bearing Beacon & Sonic Sculptress 💖

Hey there, my rockstars! It's your girl Nora Lumwood back with more exciting news and updates! I hope you're all pumped up because we have a lot going on in our world that's worth getting excited about!

Firstly, let's talk RuneScape. Until the 29th of April, RS3 players can grab Jagex and Fanatical’s promotional partnership bundle. This is not just any bundle; it's got Hazbin Hotel Adam vibes written all over it! So why wait? Head to Fanatical’s website now and treat yourself.

https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/fanatical-bundle---this-week-in-runescape 

For those who love their RuneScape merch (and honestly who doesn't?), there are some adorable new plushies by Makeship available at the merch store. The dragon chain and med helm one has already stolen my heart - so cute!

https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/april-merch-update---this-week-in-runescape 

On the Old School front, Jagex has added something for low-level players with Undead Pirates and Elder Chaos Druids at war with each other at the Chaos temple that can be looted. It reminds me of gnomes constantly battling Khazards on the east of Ardougne battlefield – nostalgic much?

In Clan News:

Some Distant Memory News:

More time has been added to the music video which is heading into visually accompanying the chorus. The progress is public through my Spacehey blog.

Since April began three insightful articles about Reflections album have been published thanks largely to AMW pitching efforts.

A massive shout-out to Jrboy305 of Higher Frequency Mag, Hollywood FM Digital, and Streetwave for their stellar reviews! You guys are simply amazing. To read these fantastic pieces, head over to the press section on my Spacehey profile.

Now onto some techy stuff - we've got access to drop-down list codes (how cool is that?) and have been using it for picture galleries on my profile. These galleries are filled with stunning photos and artwork related to our band 'Some Distant Memory' and our NORS clan. We're likely going to add more so keep an eye out!

Alright folks; now onto the fun part – let’s talk about the song of the day, album of the day, movie of the day & book of the day according to yours truly:

Song: "Wouldn’t It Be Good" by Nick Kershaw – a sweet symphony to my ears – an 80s gem that never fails to get me grooving. The synth-driven melody, topped with Kershaw's heartfelt vocals - oh darling, it's pure magic!

Album: "It’s Better To Travel" by Swing Out Sister - Oh boy, where do I even begin? This album is like taking a trip down memory lane in a vintage convertible - wind in your hair and not a care in the world. From "Breakout" to "Twilight World", each track is filled with jazzy-pop goodness that makes you want to dance around without abandon. 

Movie: "Desperately Seeking Susan"- Ah what a classic! It's like an 80s time capsule filled with Madonna at her peak, New York City in all its gritty glamour, and a plot that keeps you guessing until the end. The film does a fantastic job of capturing the spirit of freedom and nonconformity that defined the era. And who could forget those iconic fashion moments?

Book: "Less Than Zero" by Brett Easton Ellis - Brett Easton Ellis is known for his biting social commentary and this novel is no exception. A haunting portrayal of youth lost in hedonism and excess - it's dark yet compelling. The narrative might be bleak but it’s so beautifully written that you can’t help but appreciate Ellis' craftsmanship even as your heart breaks for these characters spiraling out of control.

As for my current opinion on world affairs? Well... I believe that despite all challenges we face as humanity right now- be it political unrest or environmental issues; what matters most is unity & resilience. Let's not forget love too because after all Love Will Tear Us Apart but also bring us together.

And oh before I sign off remember there's always more coming up in ‘Divination’s Destiny’ plus sneak peeks into our music video progress this week (on top of last week’s which is the first half of the transition between the preceding intricate animation sequence and the first chorus sequence).

Buckle up folks because things are only going to get more exciting around here!

As always stay safe , keep rocking out & remember - WE ARE SOME DISTANT MEMORY!!

For this weeks editorial:

2017 was a year filled with constant rhythm and relentless creativity for Jasper and our clan. It was like an ongoing jam session where burnout didn't get an invite. And guess what? A lot of this magic happened outside the studio walls too!

Just as we've been saying in our affirmation extensions, there's a secret recipe to living passionately and contentedly. Some might find it while pumping iron at the gym or cruising around on their bikes, but we believe there is no better exercise than walking – especially when done amidst bustling streets full of life.

Sure, serene strolls through suburban lanes or rural trails can be peaceful once in a while, but nothing beats exploring downtown areas teeming with people and businesses during peak hours or early morning sunrise walks. Imagine each step you take as your own personal soundtrack blending harmoniously into the city soundscape around you.

So why not embrace these walks full of endless possibilities? Let them become part of your daily routine! Not only will they keep you physically fit but also mentally invigorated by offering fresh perspectives every day. Remember darling; life is about finding harmony between different melodies – so start tuning into yours!

That concludes our news segment for this issue, here are my pop culture picks:

Song of the day: "Enola Gay" by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. It's a catchy synth-pop tune that'll make you want to dance all night long!

Album of the day: "Unknown Pleasures" by Joy Division – an iconic post-punk masterpiece that never loses its charm.

Movie of the day: "Pretty In Pink" directed by John Hughes– A fast paced and colorful teen dramady featuring several New Order songs and an all star Brat Pack cast.

Book of the day: "The Third Wave" by Alvin Toffler – An early 80s speculation and projection of changes to come of developed society worldwide.

As for my current opinion on the state of the world... While it can be challenging at times, I believe we must continue spreading love, positivity, and understanding. Let's create harmonious tunes together amidst this cacophony called life!

That wraps up today's bulletin folks! Remember: Music is life; live yours in B Major - Boldly & Beautifully.

Until next time,

Nora Lumwood 💋💕

Now, let's dive into the Baroness' Bulletin #10, shall we?

In Some Distant Memory News:

Chapter 14 of Divination’s Destiny is officially out! We're still working on the music video for “Just A Story” but stay tuned because it's going to be epic!

https://blog.spacehey.com/sk8er_gaius15 

Speaking of epic productions... Here comes an editorial about our use of Audacity.

Our first three albums were raw and real - born out of stereo speakers & recorded on an android phone! How cool is that? But as we evolved so did our methods; now acoustics are captured through a PCM recorder while everything else gets channeled through a portable studio setup.

Audacity – oh how essential it became for us! Jasper’s history with this software dates back years before NORS Updates when he started tinkering around with audio extraction and re-cutting for videos. And boy did it shape his understanding & literacy in application!

When mixing songs, every instrument track gets its own space (about 30 minutes apart) plus an equal number of blank tracks ready to catch any creative sparks flying around during production!

Creating new songs can be quite adventurous - sometimes taking inspiration from previous ones or applying the Nordic rule of nine but ultimately letting what feels most natural take precedence!

Often times, lyrics serve as blueprints helping visualize song structure while templates created during recording process may or may not become actual tracks depending on each song's individual needs.

Influences? Well they come from various places including Peter Hook’s “Unknown Pleasures” & Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys among others!

Oh wait...did someone say Grandmaster Flash?! Yes indeed! We recently watched one video featuring him that left us feeling incredibly validated!

And that wraps up today's news segment folks!

As for my picks:

Song of the day: First off, let's dive into our musical picks for the day. The song that has been echoing in my heart today is "Regret" by New Order. It perfectly captures those feelings of longing and hope that we often experience during our journey together.

Album of the day: The album pick is none other than "Substance", also by New Order. This compilation album truly embodies their unique sound which has greatly influenced our own music style. Fun fact: Jasper can sing “Shellshock” almost perfectly.

Movie of the day: For movie lovers out there, I recommend "Control". It beautifully portrays the life of Ian Curtis from Joy Division who was bandmate to most of New Order before they formed with Gillian Gilbert.

Book of the day: Immerse yourself in "Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division" by Peter Hook. One of the related riveting volumes about experiences within the band by the band members themselves!

My current take on world affairs? Well... leans in closer ...I'd say it needs more love songs and less discordant noise.

Oh, before I forget – look forward this week either another chapter or sneak peek at progress made toward ‘Just A Story’ music video! Stay tuned lovely people!

That concludes Baroness' Bulletin #10. Keep rocking till next time!

Hello, my dear rockstars! Your favorite bass-playing Baroness here with another edition of our beloved Bulletin. I hope this finds you in high spirits and ready to dive into the world we've created together.

Some Distant Memory News:

Are you ready for something extra special today? You know how Jasper and I always love sharing pieces of ourselves through music…Well, now it’s time for us to take things further as I interview him about his journey so far (and maybe spill some juicy details 😉). Stay tuned as we delve deeper into the history behind each album that has shaped Some Distant Memory into what it is today.

'Revelation' was our baby steps into the world of music - raw, unfiltered, yet brimming with potential. We were explorers charting unknown territories without a map or compass. The cover art, inspired by OMD’s Dazzle Ships cover created by Peter Saville of Factory Records, mirrored our journey – reflecting light in unexpected ways.

Then came 'Probe'. This album delved deeper into our souls than ever before; it was an exploration not just musically but spiritually too. The occult-inspired cover symbolized this quest for hidden knowledge within ourselves and the universe around us.

With 'Infinitum', we hit our stride! Inspired by a simple doodle born from sunlight dancing on skin, its cover became symbolic of infinite possibilities that lay ahead. Critics praised it as near perfection – an accolade that still makes us beam with pride!

Next up: 'Archetype'. A beautiful paradox where consistency met deviation head-on! Stripped off our beloved sequencer (which thankfully is back now), we ventured out of comfort zones to create something truly unique.

In between these albums were two experimental singles: ‘Persecution Complex’ & ‘My Morning Sun’. These tracks allowed us to play outside defined boundaries while keeping fans engaged in new sonic journeys.

Reflections Part One: This album was an exciting journey through time, space, and sound that began right after we released the Sunrise Syndrome music video. Despite some hiccups along the way (who knew recovery could be such a muse!), we crafted 'Novel Narrative' as a follow-up to 'Splash Around' from Archetype. The cover art? A cheeky nod to Runescape gnome child meme transformed into our own creation - ‘flesh fiends’. And oh darling, do they have stories to tell on our YouTube channel!

Reflections Part Two: We're still adding finishing touches to this lyrical masterpiece-in-progress but trust me when I say it's going to be worth the wait! Just like its predecessor, Reflections Part Two promises revisions that will take us up another notch in quality for Tide – how thrilling! The album cover features an abstract minimalistic drawing inspired by your old house in Delray – isn't nostalgia just exquisite?

Now let’s dive head first into an interview with Jasper!

Q: Jasper darling, how did you first fall in love with music? What was the spark that ignited your passion for creating such soul-stirring sounds?

A: Hearing Bernard Sumner say in an early interview with New Order that basically anyone with great taste in music had the ability to make music was one of the things that inspired me to begin creating music, though at the time and still now laughs it seemed unfathomable to make something as good as New Order. Phil Oakey of Human League also said in the BBC Synth Brittanica documentary to “do your best to get somewhere good” basically. Discovering things like the stylophone and the Casio sk 1 around the same time that Korg released their first monotron and seeing them in action through youtube videos was also pivotal. I saw several videos from Roth Handle Studios and Brett Domino back then.

Q: As a multi-talented frontman who sings, plays keyboard, produces - AND is an absolute heartthrob - how do you manage to juggle all these roles while keeping the band fresh and innovative?

A: It helps to stick to a schedule no matter how much progress you can make at a time. Get as far as you can at the set time and move on to doing part of the next thing until it’s time to come back.

Q: Can you share some behind-the-scenes stories about what goes on during our recording sessions? Any memorable moments or hilarious mishaps we could laugh about together?

A: When we were recording guitar for the first time for Probe, and decided that we had finally broken enough strings to need to get another pack; we went out on early morning walk for maybe about four miles to the Guitar Center on the edge of the neighboring town and ran into a blind guy named Shane we walked and talked with for a while. He told us stories about how he used to play electronic instruments for night clubs.

Q: We're known for blending different genres and styles in our music – which ones influence you the most personally and why?

A: Electronic New Wave and Punk from the early 80s are my greatest influences, but I would probably not have seen a place I could start without the examples of No Wave, Minimal Wave, and Outsider music like Daniel Johnston and Wesley Willis.

Q: If there was one song from any era that encapsulates your personal journey as an artist so far, what would it be and why?

A: ‘Don’t Change’ by INXS is a song I feel relates to our current situation and the way our direction and energy are going for our future.

Q: Being part of Some Distant Memory has been quite an adventure! Looking back at everything we’ve achieved together so far; what’s been your proudest moment in this journey?

A: The basslines by Nora on ‘Just A Story’ and ‘My Morning Sun’ and her vocal parts on ‘Raised In the Shades’ and ‘Beauty Untouched’ were most triumphant.

Q: What's next on the horizon for us as Some Distant Memory? Can fans look forward to any exciting new projects or collaborations soon?

A: Collaborating with other artists has been difficult in the past when it comes to recording, but I do think about it. I think in the future when we are more well known and commercially successful we could find ourselves working with our heroes or other well recognized contemporaries. If and when we intend to perform live, we will need a band that can play live. Creating new material on the other hand, is ultimately a bigger priority.

Q: As both lovers and creative partners, how does our relationship influence your work in the studio? Does it inspire certain lyrics or melodies perhaps?

A: It is one of the main reasons why I believe we have to succeed. I am fighting to protect happiness and see to it that it prevails beyond me.

Q: And lastly (for now), if there were no limits whatsoever – money, time, physics be damned – what kind of show would you put up for our fans?

A: We would approach Jagex about playing at Runefest.

That wraps up our news segment but hold on tight because next comes my picks for Song Of The Day, Album Of The Day, Movie Of The Day & Book Of The Day followed by my two cents on current global affairs…

Song of the Day: "Dancing With Myself" by Billy Idol – it's such a fun and energetic song that always makes me want to dance around!

Album of the Day: "Some Great Reward" by Depeche Mode – this classic album has been on repeat lately, and I just can't get enough of its dark yet catchy tunes.

Movie of the Day: "The Breakfast Club" – an iconic '80s film that captures teenage rebellion and self-discovery so perfectly. Plus, who doesn't love dancing in detention?

Book of the Day: "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline – a thrilling adventure through virtual reality filled with pop culture references from our favorite era. 

As for my current opinion on the state of the world? Well, there's definitely room for improvement when it comes to spreading kindness and happiness. But as long as we have each other and our music, we'll keep shining bright like stars in the night sky.

Stay tuned lovebirds; remember life may not be perfect but at least we have each other…and good music!

P.S. Except more to come in ‘Divination’s Destiny’ and/or a new sneak peek to show our progress in the music video this week.
