Hot Traxx Rewind: The Preatures - Somebody's Talking


 Welcome to this week's edition of Hot Traxx Rewind. Tonight we have a song from a band from Australia, which if you have been paying any attention to these posts over the last couple of weeks shouldn't surprise you at all. In actuality I have been featuring bands from the land down under quite prominently lately. 

I will repeat what I posted last week when I featured The Temper Trap's song Fader:

I honestly feel that the quality of material coming from that region of the globe is absolutely strong and innovative. Though many of these acts have not caught on here in America (yet) I believe that it is only a matter of time before we have another Aussie Invasion similar to the early 80s when bands like INXS, Midnight Oil, Men at Work and Icehouse all scored hits on the US top 40.

I should also point out that this isn't the first time that I have posted about The Preatures either. I have to say that they are one of my favorite bands and I been playing their two albums over and over on Spotify.

Tonight we are going to rewind back to 2014 for the track Somebody's Talking from The Preatures debut album Blue Planet Eyes:

 

 For your second video we have another track from Blue Planet Eyes called Is This How You Feel:
 
 


The Preatures are an Australian band from Sydney. The band was formed in 2010 and features Isabella 'Izzi' Manfredi on vocals/keyboards, Jack Moffitt (guitar), Thomas Champion (bass) and Luke Davison (drums). Gideon Bensen was a member of the band until 2016. In 2013, the band won the Vanda & Young Songwriting Competition with their song "Is This How You Feel?"

Self described as rock pop soul, the band has morphed in sound throughout the years with the loss of the deep voice of Gideon Bensen who went on to do a solo project. On the other hand, their sound has transformed into catchy rhythms as well a slow ballads on their newest album Girlhood. Manfredi grew up listening to Yothu Yindi and Warumpi Band, famous indigenous bands. These sounds permeate throughout the popular and upbeat sounds.

Abandoned Louisiana - The Pirate's Cove Water Park / Resort in Iowa

 About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead.   The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...

The Force in Star Wars | May the 4th Be With You | Miracle Mindset

The Force in the Star Wars universe bears many striking similarities to spiritual concepts found in Christianity. Much like how Christians believe in an all-encompassing, omnipresent God, the Force is described as an energy field created by all living things that surrounds and penetrates living beings and binds the galaxy together. There is a light and dark side to the Force, mirroring the battle between good and evil, angels and demons in Christian theology. The path of the Jedi, who align with the light side of the Force, is one of self-sacrifice, discipline, and overcoming temptation - very much like the Christian walk of faith. The Jedi are guided by the Force just as Christians are led by the Holy Spirit. And in the same way that Jesus' ultimate sacrifice defeated sin and death and offers salvation to mankind, the heroic sacrifices of Jedi like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker bring hope and turn the tide against the evil Empire. The Star Wars saga is a timeless story of goo...
