Hello, so so very sorry if you don't do things like this, but I admire your blog and I was wondering if I may ask for some of your favorite masculine names starting with J ? I'm struggling to name one of my supporting novel characters, hahah. The OC himself is very whimsical, almost dazed and fairy-like, so it's been a struggle - as things like "Jason/John/Jax" don't really fit yknow? Anyways, feel free to ignore, have a wonderful day!

Male Character Names Starting With "J"

I'm going to suggest ones that I feel fits the vibe your described: whimsical, dazed, fairy-like. This makes me picture someone who "lives with the flow" with a lighthearted attitude, maybe an optimist.

You may also want to consider the age/ethnicity of your character before choosing.

Jacobo

Jacques

Jaden

Jael

Jagger

Jago

Jalen

Japhet

Jarek

Javert

Javan

Jayce

Jaylen

Janard

Jobert

Juan

Jarah

Another thing I can suggest is that you pair the name with a surname with the vibe you want. Giving them a nickname is also possible.

Jacobo Hendrix feels more serious than Jacobo Fullalove/Butterfield/ Honeywell

Jayce Freshwater

Jaden Hurlingham

Juan Finchley/Elsher

Jeremiah can be Jer, Remy, Jerry, Jeremy

Jenson can be Jen, Sonny

Joby can be Job, Oby, B

Jasper can be Jas, Jazzy, Perry...

Have fun! Experiment with many names/combinations to see what fits the character, the time/space background, the worldbuilding, etc.

Jen Tortures Herself With Every Dreamworks Animated Movie Ever: Mr. Peabody and Sherman

So let me start off by saying I have no prior knowledge of this... property? I honestly don't even know what Mr. Peabody and Sherman originally was, a show? A comic? I don't care enough to research it, because this movie was lame.

Yeah so I don't know if its because of my inpaitence for the movie I get to watch after this or because I was already in a bad mood from watching Turbo but Mr. Peabody and Sherman... just didn't do it for me, ya'll. And I think the fact that this is perhaps so very blatantly made for very small kids is a large part of the reason why.

We focus on Mr. Peabody, a genuis dog and his adopted son, Sherman, as they travel through time using the WABAC time machine and get up to shenanigans. Throw in Sherman's classmate, bully turned love interest Penny, and we get hijinks all around various times and locales such as ancient Egypt, renissance Italy, and more.

It's a pretty simple setup, and I'm not faulting it for that. What I am faulting this movie for is that it's just... god, it drags on. It doesn't help that the characters are... kind of fucking insufferable along the way. Mr. Peabody is... ok, kind of an annoying genuis know-it-all type but he sort of grew on me as the film went on. Sherman is an annoying kid, so I'm already not a fan of that. And Penny might just be the worst of the bunch, god I hated this annoying little bitch. Rare is it that I watch a movie and hope for a child character in it to rest in fucking pieces, but I was rooting for that to happen to Penny cause she is the worst.

The time travel hijinks are... fun, I guess? I mean, they travel to very well known points in history and make some cute references to real world events, but even then, they're just that. Cute. Because this is a movie for babies. It skews very young with its humor, its writing, its message, and yes, even its art style and animation. Because of that, I, a tired, bitter woman in her mid/late 20s, had almost nothing to connect with here. Try as the movie might to have its emotional moments and themes about family and love, I just... felt nothing.

As for the animation, at least this is a very nice movie to look at. The character designs are pretty fun and unique for Dreamworks, and it's boosted by a vibrant color palette that grabs the eye all the way through. The score also had some pretty fun jazzy moments in it, but even so, it was nothing really that special.

Really, that's what I can say about this movie as a whole. It's... nothing special. It didn't grab me, didn't captivate me in any meaningful way. I mean, it didn't offend me and it wasn't "bad" per say, it it was far from being anything resembling good. It's just... really, really damn mid.

Overall Rating: 4/10

Performance and Bandmates for Miss Lamb!!!

questions here!

Performance: What are they thinking and feeling while they’re performing? How do they act on stage?

LMAO a year ago I was so positive about this but now that I have simmered and sauted and caramelised this...

So, for Jen, she does love the overhead lights and people singing along, but in particular she loves the small bars, handful of people, people nodding along. Like yeah, when they start leaning on the heavier vocal stuff, watching people jump around is amazing, but Jen got a taste of being the kind of singer who is almost a crooner, not that her jazz skills were on par with anyone, and it was kind of like something clicked in her.

To combat that deep well of longing in her, however, the choreography is definitely present. Mostly, honestly, it is to work out how the song goes, keep them separated, etc. As she moves across the stage, moving from point to point, it allows her to direct attention to a guitar/piano/drum solo, move over here a little, here is the key vocal sequence, here is this - it is more of a technical control thing for her but it pays off as it's literally just her being particular about it.

Bandmates: How do they feel about the members of the band? Would they still be interested in stardom if they weren’t with that group?

Well... on some level, Jen hasn't really kind of sat down and had an honest conversation about where she's feeling as far as the band is at. For her, she kind of just almost separates it as a different entity/person, because she's still so broken over how things happened and played out. Of course she's had the fun little spirals, a la could she have done more, should she just leave, why did this happen, why didn't I see it coming? Still does, some nights. But to be able to like blame it on Someone Called Band, it's almost like holding her back from combusting. She loves Rowan, Jazzy, Iris, and Devyn, of course she does, and that probably hurts just as much if not more about still being there with them after it all, and she can't leave now, right? (because really, what else is she going to do with herself otherwise?)

If Rowan hadn't approached her post-fight, she actually might've quit and chased after Seven. If Rowan literally had taken about ten more minutes to walk outside, it could've been totally different, and she probably wouldn't be nearly as "invested" in fame as she is now - because she carries being palatable like an open wound, all because they said people wanted her more (because almost once the others joined, it went from being some fun with Seven after school to doing this for attention). Who knows what the hell she would've done with her time from there though, or if she honestly would've been happier. But it was a very real possibility.

Asake Caps A Great Year with An Stellar Debut Album: Mr. Money With The Vibe Review

Asake's rise in 2022 has been nothing short of meteoric, and that is one of the few adjectives that can properly conceptualise his zero to hero run. "Accelerated" would be close second, but it is limited by its association with tyres and roads, and it does not have "meteoric's" effect in conveying vertical ascent in addition to horizontal displacement, or its connotation of a star, which Asake has now become. For an artist to begin a year in relative obscurity, and, 9 months in, be in pole position for artist of the year is simply unheard of. Head of Mavin music, Don Jazzy pointed out the conundrum on the hands of the Headies, Nigeria's premier music award, for next year: the next rated award, a crown given to the best emerging act of the year, and artist of the year, usually bestowed on the year's biggest and most influential artist may be won by the same individual for the very first time. Wizkid, Nigerian music royalty, took home the best artist award in 2012, only a year after his Next Rated nod, but Asake has done one better, finding room in his breakout year to assert himself as one of biggest Nigerian acts locally.

He released a four-track EP, Ololade Asake only two months into the year, seeking to test the market that "Omo Ope", his hit with Olamide had created a month prior. On the project, he offered a variety of sounds and themes. "Sungba" turned out the most loved track on the EP and quickly assumed the number 1 position on the Apple music charts, to be displaced only by the Burna Boy assisted remix a month later. Even more than chart position and numbers, the song reinforced Asake's sound, confirming what "Omo Ope" had already posited - that the Nigerian audience was in love with his unique mix of Amapiano, Fuji and contemporary Afropop. He would later stick to this blueprint for "Palazzo", "Peace Be Unto You" and most recently, 'Terminator'.

But the self-titled EP held more previews of Asakes future than 'Sungba' and its log drums. Olamide had already locked in a verse in 'Omo Ope', so to feature on another song would be overkill. Instead, he took the end of the opener, 'Trabaye', to pray for Asake and wish him well. While the childish and synth voices were still chorusing the 'Mo fe Trabaye' outro,  Olamide addressed his young padawan in a solemn tone, urging him on this journey to world relevance. Prayer is a staple in Nigerian folklore, it is a concept that cuts across, and goes beyond religion. Asake was born Muslim, but he draws inspiration from all three Nigerian religions in music. On Mr Money With The Vibe, he opens with 'Dull', beginning once more with the spiritual, which reveals a desire to commit every project into the hands of God in the opener.

"Dull" starts and ends with choir-like renditions, a trademark that will immediately be identified by any keen or even casual follower of his music. The track is less than two minutes long, and before Asake spends most of it chanting, repeatedly, "I swear I no o dull" he begins with "Oke agba ni mo gun yi o, e ma jen jabo/ Eyin agba mo be yin o, mi o shako" earnestly calling on ancestors, the deities of African traditional religion to guide his path and ensure he doesn't regress from his new found stardom. These moments of vulnerability, when Asake fears for his longevity, add a new and welcome dimension to his public personality, making a change from most of this year when he appeared as the classic gangster, with videos depicting him as the leather clad, motorbike riding and even gun sporting tough man.

And these themes of prayer and emotion run through the entire album. His songs released previously were a bold affront on the charts, and they capitalised on fast spinning beats to create music that was always dance-ready. The spaciousness an album brings allows Asake room to diversify from this somewhat, without losing his inherent style. Songs like 'Nzaza' and 'Ototo' utilize the heavy log drums and choir sounds that Asake is known for, but these are repurposed and slowed down, so that the songs can hold more spiritual, emotional value. The latter constantly digs into the spiritual, repeatedly mentioning "Oluwa" (God) as he begs for more money and blessings. More important than anything, though, he does not want to lose his quickly gotten relevance. The Nigerian music scene is highly competitive, and so many that attempt to crack national fame are not able to, and not for a want of talent. Perhaps even worse, it isn't uncommon for a new act to burst into the scene with a few hit tracks and sadly fade into the abyss forever, to be remembered only on occasions when people ask "where is X now?". This is Asake's biggest fear, and so he spends these tracks (and the opener) taking it to God in prayer.

The biggest fear of his fans, coming to this album, was not that. After releasing a series of hit tracks set in the same sonic range, many wondered how he would cram an album with enough diversity without losing a sense of who he is. It is on this point that Mr. Money With The Vibe is most successful, and elevates this body of work from very good to having a shout for album of the year. While many still believe that honour goes to Omah Lay and the sorrowful yet sexy Boy Alone, it is impossible to not credit the innovative ability of Asake and Magicsticks, who helmed production for the entire album. It is on a song like 'Dupe' that this quality shines brightest, for it borrows from Asake's formula, and is able to sound unique at the same time. Backed by a sax, Magicsticks gives the song a carnival, dancehall feel, as Asake urges you to let go of worries and be happy for where you've come so far.

On some other tracks, though, Asake sticks to the formula that has kept him visible for the best part of a year- crafting amapiano-inflected, danceable songs. 'Joha' and 'Organise' could easily have been part of his singles run this year, and expectedly they take the early lead in the chart rankings. Once more, Asake has given less attention to lyrics, leaning on Magicsticks' exquisite production to weave catchy melodies. He trades message for grooviness, so that though you may exit the songs without knowing what exactly it was about, you are sure to have had a good time listening to them. Magicsticks also flexes this ability on 'Sumonmi', which has stripped off Fuji elements from the rest of the album and doubled down on Amapiano origins. Asake gives the producer front seat in this track, his only contribution coming in the form of a simple sentence 'baby sunmo mi", repeated for its entirety, and it is left to Magicsticks to bring Amapiano to life with all the authenticity of its South African originators.

Asake's debut album is not the most cohesive unit, neither does it explore deep thematic material, but no one tuned to this album expecting much of either. The aspects you would expect, party starting music, memorable melodies and incredible (incredible!) production feature, and they are enough to push this album past mediocrity and into excellence. Asake was under massive pressure after that incredible run, but he has lived up to the billing on his first album, proving that the drive with which he began this year is very much alive.

Pop Art Painter Jamie #Roxx (www.JamieRoxx.us) welcomes Jen Ash (R&B; Trouble) to the Show!

● WEB: www.jenashmusic.com ● IG: @jenashmusic ● TW: @jenashmusic ● TK: @jenashmusic ● FB: @jenashmusic

Jen Ash is a prolific musical artist known for creating soulful music by combining R&B with pop and adding some of her own signature touches. Her celebrated catalog is fast-approaching 200K Spotify streams. With her last single, “No Lover Lover” reaching the UK iTunes Top 5, Ms. Ash is now releasing a brand-new track, “Trouble,” as well as the Official Music Video for her song, “I’m Dreaming of You.”

Hitting retail on February 2nd, “Trouble” is a tribute to the late Amy Winehouse. Ms. Ash said, “I wanted to give a little Amy Winehouse vibe on this one. I’m a big fan of her music. She created an entire universe for herself. She is definitely gone too soon. The song is so jazzy and bluesy. it takes me back in time. The saxophone adds another dimension to the song, where I feel like I’m immerse in a 50/60’s black and white movie.”

The Taste Of The South Festival 2022: Aka: A Free Lyfe Jennings Show 

Venue

Civic Center Park

(8.19.2022)

Stats:

2nd maybeee 3rd time seeing Lyfe Jennings.

Friend Stats:

I went with my parents (not shown) and since we go to very few shows together I can’t quite remember what number this is, but I think it’s the 3rd?

When Your Favorite Artist Does A Free Show, You Show Up:

For those of you who have been around awhile, you know that Lyfe Jennings always shows up as one of, if not, the top artist on my Spotify Wrapped every year. That’s typically because I listen to him a lot with my dad and sometimes when I just want to SING. My dad and I have a bond over Lyfe, so when I saw he was doing a free show out here I text my Dad and told him what our Friday night plans were. My mom ended up also wanting to go so this was a me and the folks adventure. I didn’t care so much about going to the entire festival and neither did they, so we planned to just show up to see him at the end of the night.

Being A City Gurl and Listening To Jazz R&B Covers:

Typical to some of the other free shows I’ve been to, (not all but some) Lyfe Jennings was late, like an hour +. This just meant that the MC’s, the DJ and the side bands all had to do a little extra to keep everyone entertained. So I’m standing there with my dad and sometimes we knew the song playing and sometimes we didn’t and then sometimes the “City Girl” song would come on and I’d have to laugh cause I couldn’t be a full mess next to my dad. Note: I don’t have the knees to be a mess like that, but I wasn’t about to sing all of “Act Up” and “Icy” like I wasn’t in mixed company.

Since Lyfe was taking so long, the band or a band, not sure, came out and played some really nice jazzy versions of some 90′s R&B which was a good way to get the crowd involved. Patience was a little thin for some people, however it was a nice and appreciated gesture.

Lyfe Jennings:

I feel like I’m always gonna show up this man, but honestly he has to be more engaged. One of my biggest concert pet peeves is when an artist doesn’t seem to trust the audience to know some basic ish. Like I know every word to every song off your first 4 out of 7 albums and even several off your last 3, so don’t play with me. I’ve been to paid shows where artists do this and you can feel how messy it is. I’m down for an audience requested track, but I’m not down for you to start a song and then say we don’t know that one, multiple times. I had a really good time and sang every word, but that part of his stage performance was just so irritating. He also dipped almost immediately after his set, no encore which also made us feel like he wasn’t all that engaged. 

All that being said, I absolutely enjoyed being able to see a staple artist in my household with my parents. Free, paid, late, on time, whatever I’d do it again in a heartbeat cause there was still a lot of joy there. Plus when he was on, he was ON.

After Party Shenanigans (Not Shown):

Apparently my sister and some cousins were also at this show and didn’t tell nobody, so instead of going home and hopping in bed like I should have, I decided that I wanted to go hang out with them. I don’t hang out with them like that too often, so I jumped at the chance. I’m also a “let’s keep the night going” type of person, which meant let’s keep things going. There was an official after party with Lyfe, however we ended up going to a different bar where a cousin of ours was DJing. Before we got there though, there was a lot of karaoke-ing in the car of the Lyfe Jennings songs that were missing from his set list. It was a fun rest of the night, but coming home at 3 is no joke when you got work in the morning. Fun night overall, even when you only got a few dance moves.

These pals enjoyed their last day of golf

Today marks my first orientation day on the actual parthenon floor 4 unit that i had today for my new nursing gig and i fucking love it thus far. Today I went to 2 different group therapy sessions with my patients and danced, played soccer, sang in the sunshine, and made art work with them and they called me "Miss Hollywood" and "Miss Jazzy" :) I had a very long emotional real raw and completely necessary conversation with reggie last night and into this morning about my habits both regarding substances and sex within the last 2 years that he and i have been falling in love with each other and I really appreciated his honesty and his concern and his input about all of it and i do trust him when he said that he has never fucked jen and has been trying to love and support me even after i fucked him over and left him for literally like 3-4 other dudes when i was involved with him. i have a wonderful feeling about my professional future and regarding whatever wonders me and reg continue to pursue together. He has truly shown me unconditional love and i am now able to recognize how rare and real that is. No matter what happens i will always love him and be forever in awe of these moments

Paul Oakenfold - Great Wall

Klip ke skladbě Hypnotized

„Já se SARS nebojím,“ halasil dýdžej Paul Oakenfold před svým nedávným turné po Číně. Opakoval to ve všech světových médiích a aby tento chytrý marketingový tah využil i v dělším časovém horizontu, vydal teď dvojcédéčko s mixem toho, co v Číně hrál, a pojmenoval ho Velká zeď, aby bylo opravdu jasno. Paul Oakenfold bývával vlivný producent, který pomohl řadě nezávislých kapel. Oakenfold poslední doby je ale něco úplně jiného: má talent vzít něčí zajímavou hudbu, podložit ji líbivým rytmem a sladkými plochami a zpřístupnit ji mase, která chce rekreačně křepčit. A zkazit ji pro všechny ostatní. Díky němu možná zlidoví pár méně známých skladeb, ale za cenu toho, že budou nenávratně překrouceny. Tento Daniel Hůlka taneční scény to ale má dobře promyšlené: má neuvěřitelný úspěch, všude se o něm mluví a píše a to, co si myslí pár podivínů, kteří chtějí slyšet něco zajímavějšího než banality, mu může být fuk. Nevíme, jestli mu fuk opravdu jsou a jestli mu někdo vyčítá, že už léta neudělal nic zvukově zajímavého, ale kvůli nám to tak jako tak jinak dělat nezačne.

Koop - Waltz for Koop: Alternative takes

Klip ke skladbě Baby (D' Malicious Remix)

Remixová deska německé kapely Koop je z rodu těch, které se povedly. Komu se zdá produkce Koop a jejich kolegů od mnichovského labelu Compost Records moc rozplizlá a nudná až bezpohlavní, možná v tomto cédéčku pozná první důkaz, že ne 100, ale jen 99% toho, co u Compostu vyšlo, je zaměnitelný jazzy chill out, který omílá pořád to samé dokola. Remixy písniček z loňského alba Waltz for Koop zadala kapela méně známým, ale šikovným autorům. Zejména jejich nejlepší skladba Summer Sun, která je tu v jazzhouseovém mixu Markuse Enochsona a drumandbassovém přepracování od projektu Carlito, vyzní skvěle. Celkově je znát, jakou spoustu si práce si remixéři dali s tím, aby ukázali, že slavní Koop se nespletli, když jim svěřili své skladby. A povedlo se – Alternative Takes ocení i člověk, který tomuhle klubu nefandí.

The Strokes - Room on Fire

Klip ke skladbě 12:51

Co dělat, když máte rockovou kapelu a v každé druhé garáži hraje nějaká úplně stejná banda, která se od té vaši nedá sluchem odlišit? Kromě toho, že se budete snažit hrát co nejlíp a sehnat si pořádného producenta, potřebujete hlavně dobrý marketing. To znamená manažera, který médiím vysvětlí, že jste strašně drsní, zajímaví a potenciálně skandální – a který patřičně nafoukne vaše případné aférky v rámci trojúhelníku sex, drogy, rokenrol. V newyorské tuctové kytarovce Strokes zpívá syn šéfa nejslavnější modelingové agentury na světě. Nezpívá nijak oslnivě, ale slavné jméno Casablancas a nějaké ty fámy o tom, jaký je to určitě zlotřilec, když je padouch jeho papínek, slávě Strokes hodně pomohly. Začaly na ně chodit davy a protože ta kapela není VYLOŽENĚ špatná - a protože proč vlastně nejít na koncert kapely, o které se všude píše - jsou Strokes najednou obrovské hvězdy. Obě jejich desky - Is This It? a Room on Fire – mají nadšený ohlas, o kapele se pořád mluví, na jejich web chodí šílené spousty lidí, prostě americký sen se zase jednou naplnil. Vlastně, proč jim to nepřát.

Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Coma Girl

Klip ke skladbě Coma Girl

Ne každý, kdo byl zamlada pankáč, dokáže působit snesitelně coby strejda. Takové pokusy Sex Pistols dát se znovu dohromady skončily fiaskem a naštvaly i jejich skalní příznivce. Clash, další ohromně slavná kapela z dávné punkové vlny, se sice nikdy nedala znovu dohromady v původní sestavě, ale jejich frontman Joe Strummer byl čilý až do své letošní nečekané smrti. Měl kapelu Mescaleros, která sice netrhala hitparády, ale zároveň byla dost vidět na to, aby si ji našli hudební fajnšmekři. Taky se objevovala na nejprestižnějších hudebních festivalech, prostě – vědělo se o ní. Joe Strummer hrál v Mescaleros trochu jinou roli než v Clash, ale pořád byl díky zvláštní barvě hlasu jasně poznat. Mescaleros byli méně divoká parta než Clash, spíš než k divokosti vybízela ke smíření, a to bylo slyšet i v jejich muzice: na singlu Coma Girl jsou dvě živé nahrávky coververzí ve stylu ska a reggae a i titulní písnička má ke „skáčku“ blíž než k vypalovačkám rozhněvaných mladíků. Což neznamená, že by Clash byli lepší nebo horší než Mescaleros – je to jen dobrá ilustrace toho, že skutečně JE možné být zamlada energický a vzteklý a ve středním věku získat smíření, nadhled a hloubku – a pořád hrát tak, aby seto dalo poslouchat. Jenom škoda, že se nedovíme, jak by hrál v sedmdesáti – nějaký Strummer’s Blues Band by se světu hodil.
