![]() ![]() There’s a core cast of components in the sonic palette that repeatedly crop up: the swinging jazz drums of Valentina Magaletti (certainly the MVP of Ookii Gekkou) tactile analogue synthesizers Susumu Mukai’s muted, fathoms-deep Jah Wobble-esque bass and the use of woodwind instruments, such as oboe and clarinet. On the last album, 2019’s Age of Immunology, there’s a sense of comfort with the metronomic rhythms and tranquil instrumentation, whereas Ookii Gekkou is more twisted, finding Cathy Lucas et al in boundless, sprawling form. In the past, Vanishing Twin have occasionally sounded like they never got over that first hearing of the Wicker Man soundtrack and the albums of Broadcast (though Phil MFU was literally in Broadcast for a spell). Listening to the record can feel like travelling along a portal to another world, like the topsy-turvy desertscape Homer finds himself in when he eats that spicy chilli in The Simpsons (I’m struck repeatedly by the similarities between that scene’s soundtrack and Ookii Gekkou). A ceremony, like this album, moves from the insular to the expansive. The chants of “ookii gekkou” in ‘Big Moonlight’ have a religious tenor to them. ![]() The idea of ceremony is key to the sound of this record. Vanishing Twin use these moments so evocatively that they’re almost filmic: the chanted vocal choruses in ‘Big Moonlight’, ‘In Cucina’, and ‘Wider Than Itself’ are reminiscent of stumbling on a ceremony to some vengeful Pagan god in the woods. These instances where a certain element is introduced which completely re-defines the song are peppered over the album. The eerie glockenspiel ostinato on ‘Big Moonlight’ seems to herald the opening of a portal to another world. For instance, in ‘The Organism’ the exotica-tinged arrangement with its fluttering eddies of xylophone is tempered by the domestic, intimate sample of a cat purring. This quotation seems fitting when applied to Ookii Gekkou, the London quartet’s new album, as it seems to exist in perpetual motion, forever wobbling between opposites. In an interview with The Quietus in 2018, Vanishing Twin’s Phil MFU said that “Jazz is all about the relationship of sounds moving in space”. ![]()

![]() Sad, but true – while the people that we hate can easily become the people that we love, the things that we love about them often become the things that we can’t stand. If you’re initially drawn to your partner because he/she is “exciting, spontaneous, and outgoing” or “different, unique, and opposite from me,” there’s a much higher risk that your opinion will flip… and that it will eventually kill the relationship. A woman who once found her boyfriend to be ‘funny and fun’ later disliked his ‘constant silliness.’ A man who initially found his partner ‘refreshingly innocent’ later disparaged her ‘lack of maturity.’ Most importantly, some types of qualities tend to be more ‘fatal’ to relationships than others. When people were asked to think about their last break-up, almost 1/3 of ex-partners specifically listed “unattractive features” that were simply negative versions of qualities that they initially loved. Sadly for all of the Valentines out there, that ‘hate’ to ‘love’ switch can flip the other way as well. This makes the switch from ‘hate’ to ‘love’ quite natural. Well if your brain is trained to activate the insula every time you see the face of someone in your life who elicits a strong reaction, what if something minor happens to flip the switch from negative to positive? If something suddenly makes you start to feel positively – like you learn about a few redeeming qualities, or maybe this person buys you a scarf – the network associated with that person still includes the insula, so your feelings will still be drastically intense. So, the insula becomes activated whether you love or hate somebody, and it controls how strongly you feel about things or people, yet it has nothing to do with whether those feelings are good or bad. Just to demonstrate how important this brain region is to emotional intensity, when people with insula damage were asked to rate how strongly they felt about progressively more positive or negative things, they didn’t respond by feeling more and more intense about them like people with ‘normal’ brains did – instead, they stayed fairly neutral the whole time. Whether those emotions are positive or negative mean nothing to that little brain region all its activation means is that when you see a face, you feel VERY STRONGLY ABOUT THAT PERSON. ![]() 1 But importantly, the insula does not have anything to do with what type of emotions you experience… just their intensity. When neuroimaging subjects looked at the faces of people they strongly hated, the insula region in the brain was activated more than it was with neutral faces, which also happens when you look at faces that make you feel - you guessed it - passionate, romantic love. Pop culture is all for the fluidity of love and hate, but what about scientific research? Well, chick flicks may not be far off base. Boy reveals a vulnerability or minor endearing flaw to girl. Girl spends about half of the movie complaining to a best friend (maybe Judy Greer) about how much she hates the boy, but for some reason can’t avoid him entirely (usually because they work together or for competing businesses). Girl is usually neurotic and/or overwhelmingly anxious. Boy and girl desperately hate each other. Sandra Bullock and Meg Ryan have built entire film careers out of replaying different versions of the same story: Boy meets girl. ‘Friends’ fans will remember when Rachel bitterly hated her co-worker Gavin… until he surprised her with a scarf on her birthday and they ended up kissing on her balcony ('There's a thin line between love and hate, and as it turns out, that line is a scarf'). There’s also a never-ending stream of support from pop culture. Plenty of age-old sayings agree: “There’s a thin line between love and hate.” “The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.” ![]() ![]() So it seems like love and hate are not quite so different after all. They both make our hearts race, our pupils dilate, and our palms sweat. They’ve both sparked wars, poetry, and some of the greatest epics of all time. They both cloud our thinking and judgment. But are love and hate really all that different? Of course Valentine’s Day is supposed to be about love. Hate? On Valentine’s Day? Isn’t V-Day supposed to be about love, Hallmark, and all of those positive, mushy feelings? In honor of Valentine’s Day, I’d like to take a quick look at one of the most fundamental human emotions - hate. ![]() ![]() ![]() We have tents and canopies to shield your guests from the brutal sun, as well as tables and chairs, so everyone has a place to sit and socialize.

The money comes from several sources, including insurance companies, engineering firms and a luxury condominium whose recent construction next door is suspected of contributing to structural damage of Champlain Towers South. The ruling came during what’s called a fairness hearing, in which anyone with objections to the deal could raise them as the judge determined whether the settlement is “fair, reasonable and adequate,” according to court documents. “You have no idea what a relief this is to me personally,” Rodriguez said. Raysa Rodriguez, who survived the collapse in a ninth-floor unit that was initially left intact, had nothing but praise for the outcome. Several people who lost family members or property said in court Thursday that they are grateful for such a swift conclusion to a horrific experience. No victims filed objections to the settlement or decided to opt out, said court-appointed receiver Michael Goldberg. About $100m is earmarked for legal fees, and $96m set aside for owners who lost one of the 136 units in the building. The bulk of the $1.02bn total will go to people who lost family members in the collapse of the 12-storey building. “It will never be enough to compensate them for the tragic loss they have suffered,” the judge said. ![]() ![]() ![]() On the death of his mother Ryder really didn’t want to have to deal with the deranged ‘auntie’ that had lived in the tower with them. This affliction would manifest itself by her replacing the chicken with a new one whenever Chickoletta ‘got sick and had to rest’, which was actually quite frequent. ![]() The distraught Goodway just could not cope with this, and in her obsession began to believe that Chickoletta was still alive, and would never die. ![]() Chickens, however, don’t live all that long, especially when kept in a bag and only periodically fed on a diet of nothing but sweetcorn, so ‘Chickoletta’ quickly died. She grew such an attachment to one chicken in particular that she used to carry it around with her everywhere in a bag. In fact, the chickens were her only company for many, many years. Named ‘Goodway’, she was kept inside for pretty much most of her childhood, only allowed outside to tend to the allotments and to look after the chickens. Instead she kept it herself, and brought it up in the tower. She couldn’t be labelled a baby-murderer, that’s the kind of thing that causes rebellions. She disappeared soon afterwards, obviously, but Ryder’s mother kept the baby. The lady claimed to have never even met a black guy before, but the evidence was there for all to see. When the town was run by Ryder’s mother (before he was born, and long before he murdered her of course) one of the women of the town had a baby that caused her some issues. There wasn’t a lot of diversity in Adventure Bay, and that was not overly surprising as the population was heavily controlled, using forced marriage and other eugenic systems. She’s born and bred in Adventure Bay, and has never left the area, hence why she’s completely bat-shit crazy. I have been somewhat berated for not doing enough with her character, but I think if you knew a bit of her background, you’d understand a bit more… It seems to me that there is a lot of hatred for Chickoletta around. This was my response, it also explains a bit about Mayor Goodway too: That’s problematic in that the Paw Patrol creators are sending this message that we can’t depend on the state to provide these services.I wrote a really stupid and silly story about what really 'goes on' in Adventure Bay (I was bored one lunchtime), but I got a lot of grief for not doing anything nasty to Chickoletta in it. That’s a huge problem, per Kennedy: “Paw Patrol, as a private corporation, is used to help provide basic social services in the Adventure Bay community. ‘There’s Chase, the police dog, Marshall, the fire chief dog who can never quite get control of his hose, Rubble, the builder, Skye, who flies a plane for some reason and is the girl pup, Everest, the extreme outdoor adventuring pup, Rocky, the rescue dog, and Zuma, the pup who drives a boat.” “In the show, Ryder is the ring-leader of the pups, each of whom has a job to do as part of their team,” according to Post Millennial. The show portrays a band of puppies who provide much-needed emergency services - police, fire, construction, and other public works - to a fictional town where the dogs in charge are largely incompetent. Together, it rakes in hundreds of millions of dollars every year and has been forging a cult-like preschool following for years,” according to Fast Company. “Paw Patrol,” created by a Canadian toy maker is “a cartoon, a toy brand, and a merchandising juggernaut, as well as a touring live show. Just yelp for help’: Crime, Conservation, and Corporatization in Paw Patrol.” King’s University College professor Liam Kennedy has published an entire treatise on the subject of “Paw Patrol,” entitled “Whenever there’s trouble. A far-left professor in Canada is on a tear against the wildly popular kids’ cartoon, “Paw Patrol,” which he claims is “capitalist propaganda” that leads children away from Marxism, teaching them to critique and distrust government and embrace individualism. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you don’t receive your items within 14 working days of receiving a Dispatch Confirmation email, please contact our Customer Care team, quoting your order number, and we’ll investigate this for you.
