Julian Assange: Granted Asylum in Ecudaor


He has the hair of an Angel....Or just an old perverted man. You pick.

That weird man you used to watch on the news that wears scarves during the summer time has been kicked out of Australia and England and sort of from Sweden. Wikileaks Founder, and Governmental Annoyance, Julian Assange has now been offered asylum in Ecuador, following another possible extradition to Sweden in matters related to an open case of sexual assault.

In response to this new change of scenary, the world’s most flamboyant computer programmer responded. “No estoy muy contento.” (Translation coming soon.)

More than anyone else on Earth, Julian Assange has a radical mixed following. Some love him. Some people spit on him. Some approve of his contributions to the world, but hate his personal character…and some just hate his personal character. :P

Trivia: Ecuador only shares borders with Colombia and Peru.

 The point is, he will now have to live in Ecuador, a land which “Desperate Housewives” called the Mud Hut Country…..where they keep all their black people in one town (Esmeraldas: google it)….where football is popular, but no one ever wins….and the home of my psychotic ex-girlfriend who wasn’t really my ex-girlfriend because she was psychotic....please disregard that last sentence.

Questions for You:
Would you ever visit Ecuador?
Would you wear scarves during the summer?
And
If you got booted out of your country, where do you think you would end up? Patagonia maybe?

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

"Anchors" - AM Higgins

Here's a nice breezy, almost sensual song from AM Higgins (the solo project of musician Annie Toth) to start your Tuesday off right.  Her debut album "Hymning" will be out November 5th on Victorialand Records. The album was mixed by Casey Foubert, a frequent collaborator of Sufjan Stevens. The album "captures the first years of moving from an American city to rural France." Sounds like "Hymning" will be a welcome escape from the world we live in right now, especially considering that Annie Toth counts poets Mary Oliver and Thomas Merton as influences.

Summer Playlist - 2022 Edition!

 It's truly the little things in life that make a world of difference. And for me, that means my summer playlist! Behold, I have put together 2022's edition. It includes cuts from artists like: - Mitski - Uffie - Johnny Orlando - Kylie Minogue + Jessie Ware - Florence and the Machine (who put out a fantastic album this year after a long dry spell of kind of "meh" records. Her pairing with Jack Antonoff worked out quite well!)  - Bilal - Harry Styles (he has some catchy music!)  - KATE BUSH DUH - And of course, Lana. It's also available on Apple Music, but since I recognize a lot of folks use Spotify, here's that link. Enjoy!
