Benjamin David AKA Mild Minds is your favourite new artist to discover this week. His debut album scored the Double J Feature Album last week.
Mild Minds is signed to ODESZA's label Foreign Family Collective. Joining fellow electronic artists like RÜFÜS DU SOL, Big Wild, Jai Wolf, Golden Features, Kasbo & more.
His first EP SWIM was released in 2018, fast fast to 2020 and his debut album MOOD is here. The SWIM EP garnered over 1 million Spotify plays and no doubt countless more spins on Apple Music and views on YouTube. It's all about the streams and views in 2020.
Mild Minds is a new artist for me to discover too, so whilst we are in self isolation, working from home or just plain chilling take a listen to MOOD below. Not to mention a previous collaboration with Roland Tings.
Season One of this THE CW drama is addictive as all hell. Following my post about Younger, I am also late to the party with All American.
All American launched October 2018 with it's first season and just concluded it's second season. Like all current shows on THE CW (excluding Katy Keene) it's been renewed for a third season.
Daniel Ezra is not only extremely handsome but great in the lead role as Spencer James. The series is based on real life player Spencer Paysinger.
If you are a fan of teen dramas (like I am) this show will have you hooked. Like most THE CW shows the cast are all almost perfect looking. From Ezra to his new roommates/coach Taye Diggs son Michael Evans Behling.
It's not as full on as Friday Night Lights, however it's super easy to watch while being slightly inspiration (fitness wise) in these tough times.
I am very much looking forward to smashing out season two in the coming weeks as I close in on finishing season one.
This will 100% be on my week to week roster when the show returns. In Australia All American airs weekly on Stan or right now every episode of the series to date is streaming now.
Get amongst it. Tomorrow the (Mini) Monday Spotlight is back with Melbourne based artist Mild Minds. Ahead of a quick Easter 2020 break Yaeji will release her debut, What We Drew 우리가 그려왔던.
Following this Yaeji will be featured as a (Mini) Monday Spotlight artist. Finally if you need some more joy in your life today's Sunday Spotlight is Childish Gambino, get around it HERE
Sutton Foster stars as Liza alongside Hilary Duff, Debi Mazar, Miriam Shor and Nico Tortorella in Younger. Streaming in Australia on STAN Younger joins a long list of decent overseas imports on the Australian streaming service.
Younger is an easy breezy 20 something minute per episode comedy with wit and romance.
I am only (almost) two complete seasons in and totally hooked. The one liners, Nico Tortorell taking off his shirt at any given moment all together with Darren Star's midas touch on any TV show he has involvement in.
Following his work on Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000), Melrose Place (1992–1999), Sex and the City (1998–2004), and now Younger (2015–present). This series is already heading towards it's seventh season. In TV land these days that is a big milestone.
So if you are struggling with social distancing, self isolation, Younger could be for you. If you have Stan what are you waiting for, it's only 20 minutes!
Cinemas, gyms, live music venues, beaches, generally everything fun in Sydney... Now you can't even get a massage :(
Yes this is a whole new world we are living in. It's tough but we need to adapt.
You will be seeing no more film reviews for a while, however you will see a tonne of TV recommendations. If you missed my #RATED posts well here they are again.
For SUMMER a list of 16 shows across a number of platforms. MID SEASON there is another list fo 13 series.
So there you have 29 shows to check out!
So what's good? How are you tracking? I am starting a new exercise routine tomorrow. Gyms are shut but the great outdoors is open.
Adam George Dyment AKA Duke Dumont, hails from Harrow, England and is a beloved DJ/producer.
He has given us hits like "Need U (100%)" "I Got U", "Ocean Drive" and "Won't Look Back", soo his debut album Duality will hit the shelves.
It's been years of singles (from 2013 to be exact) of singles, EP's and remixes so finally we will get a full body of work from the duke.
He co-owns a record label Blasé Boys Club which he also uses an alias for production.
In 2014, "Need U (100%)", was nominated for "Best Dance Recording" for the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. The next year, "I Got U" featuring Jax Jones was nominated in the same category.
I can't wait for Duke Dumont's Duality, in the meantime here are some of his biggest hits to date. Stay safe everyone!
Ok this review may be my last in the cinema experience due to social distancing and new rules placed upon Australian citizens from a government who has no idea what is going on.
So Is Bloodshot a Box Office Flop or Blockbuster? Ok this is easy, it's a flop, not only due to the virus, but it's not really a good film.
Vin Diesel might have got his last big pay day before all major studios shut down.
Guy Pearce also stars in this film, however even his Aussie charm can't save this dodgy action film.
So what is the future for cinemas in Australia? Will they even be open next week? Here is a complete update of all the films being delayed, along with all the TV shows on hold due to the crisis.
With hardly any new films coming out in Australia, Palace Cinemas closing all branches, it's a tough time.
My local Hoyts today had minimal staff on. Meaning staff are losing shifts, people are not getting paid. With movies doing average business right now, some countries/cities/states in complete lockdown has streaming finally made the cinema experience null and void?
I love the movies (even seeing a shit film like Bloodshot is enjoyable) I love the feeling of the movie kicking off, the sound, the smell of popcorn, it's just ace.
Will this Coronavirus change everything? To all my friends in the arts, I am sorry, this is rough AF. To all the uni/school students who are working at cinemas, I'm sorry. It's hard to catch a break at the moment, it's hard to stay focused, but we can do this.
Sorry Bloodshot but this was average, so I have to be honest. 2 stars.
In times like this, binge watching is a must! Staying free from boredom, doing some self isolation, staying safe, ABC iView is free and easy to access.
Stateless is halfway through the season and it's remarkable.
If you are new to Stateless you can stream the series HERE.
Starring an all star cast, The Handmaid's Tale, Yvonne Strahovski as Sofie Werner, Offspring's Asher Keddie as Claire Kowitz, A Place to Call Home/Janet King Marta Dusseldorp as Margot and The Affair's Dominic West as Gordon.
Not to mention local and internationally famous heroes Cate Blanchett as Pat and Jai Courtney as Cam Sandford.
This really is a remarkable new series. Hats off again to the ABC, this is drama at it's best in very tough times.
