Hot Traxx Rewind: Band of Skulls - We're Alive


 For this weeks edition of Hot Traxx Rewind I want to travel back to 2019 to feature a track off of Band of Skulls, the British duo of Russell Marsden (guitar, vocals) and Emma Richardson (bass, vocals), fifth album Love Is All You Love called We're Alive. The track is a bit of a deviation from the bands traditional style of hard rock in that it's more of a danceable pop song.

 

 Over the past few years my love of 'Band of Skulls' has continued to grow. Their 2016 album 'By Default' quickly became one of my all-time favorites and now some three years after it's release I still find myself playing it in heavy rotation. Since that album was so good I was pessimistic that any future release by the band could live up to it. I, of course, should have expected another amazing album simply from the band's track record. It seems as every release tops the prior as both Russell Marsden (guitar, vocals) and Emma Richardson bass, vocals) grow as musicians and refine their style of rock.

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...
