Hot Traxx: Little Boots - Landline

Ever since I first heard the latest single from Little Boots called Landline - I haven't been able to get it out of my head. 

From Paper

The second single off her forthcoming self-produced album, "Landline" sees Little Boots indulging in pure unadulterated disco nostalgia. Full of bright shimmery synths and bouncy basslines, Little Boots fondly reminisces about days spent holding up the family phone line and dancing to music with her boyfriend, drawing parallels to pandemic-era Zoom parties.

"I got thinking about this in lockdown, as music was still something that helped me feel close to friends even if we physically couldn't be together," Little Boots says. "Emotionally, you can still feel connected through a shared playlist or remembering an old track. That's one of music's superpowers and it remains true throughout my life, whether it's pressing play on a tape machine down the phone years ago, or dancing with my friends on Zoom through the pandemic to a favorite anthem."

Little Boots continues, "It all came together when stylist Twinks Burnett came on board and totally shared my vision for the looks: retro and glamorous with a sense of humor. I love how director Sam Taylor-Edwards shot on different formats, including VHS and spliced it all together to create a really unique mood."

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...
