Readers Poll 2023: Paulina “Pau” Villarreal Vélez Wins “Up And Coming”

Nice photo of her. Short article in Modern Drummer. I looked it up after hearing they interviewed her for a podcast episode, but it’s yet not been posted as I write this. (I’ve never seen “Vélez” in the name before.)

He sure looks a lot older than Trump, or any other potential GOP candidate.

The story that won’t die continues… The Hunt for the Nord Stream Bombers

I enjoyed reading that article, as it presented several possible scenarios, including my contention (left unanswered) that it wouldn’t take nation-state level technology and equipment to plant the bombs. Note that I didn’t say it wasn’t a nation-state that was…[Read more]

Hi! I won’t pay attention to you if you swear every other word that comes out of your mouth.

I’ll say “noted”, but since there’s no policy against it here, and objections are rare (if I ever even saw one in several years), I don’t think there’s a remedy. Personally, I only curse sparingly, because I feel it loses impact when u…[Read more]

So, any thoughts on my what if idea about what a side group starring Alejandra would sound like. Possibly like a Spanish language version of L’Imperatrice?

Yeah I meant to answer that. My first thought was something jazzy, but not as pop as that French group. Maybe she’ll start out with guest appearances, e.g. with Muse? Otherwise I…[Read more]

Here’s something interesting that must be a track.

Wow, that that lip synching is weird, especially in a live show.

She has such a soft voice that even on songs where she supposedly takes the lead (mostly on older material like Hunter, River’s Soul, or Red Hands Never Fade) I have a hard time hearing her clearly. She’s not a belter of lyrics like Dany and Pau.

Sometimes it takes a reactor to point out which part she’s singing in a harmony bef…[Read more]

Have you ever checked out Broken Peach? Not really my type of music but I think they are talented and very creative and do some great covers. Their Halloween Special is a blast.

My thoughts, too. I like their creativity and humor. I jumped to their Tainted Love before I saw your suggested Don’t You Want Me. Both were…[Read more]

They see the Democratic Party as being overly concerned with their issues.

I think you mentioned a few of the reasons why the pro-Trump minions have activated and aggressively spread. He encourages aggressively “taking over”, and “taking back” their country. The electoral college makes this easier, just look at the wide swaths of…[Read more]

He’s disconnected for a while before, after mentioning how he’s sick of all the bullshit. I don’t think he meant us, or at least not all of us 🙂 But I’ll bet he’s busy doing something else as a kind of vacation for his mind, and he did mention tiring of bullshit wrt the world outside of AZ.

I’ve been trying to do more of that, too, these past…[Read more]

Belle, there’s no scenario that ends up with you both kissing each other on the cheek and promising to write. You know this.

You can never trust this woman again. Now that you have seen these aspects of her nature, you could never feel warm, safe and loved in a relationship with her.

The safest route for you is to never meet or speak with her a…[Read more]

And now for something completely different. These reactors are fun, clever-Brit style. They don’t interrupt the song (Disciple), so you can skip forward as much as you like, although they do smile or chuckle at the same places I would.

8-1/2 minutes.

Solamente 2-1/2 minutos, y’all!
