Muscle Shoals (Trailer)

The world was coming to Muscle Shoals.

Located alongside the Tennessee River, Muscle Shoals, Alabama is the unlikely breeding ground for some of America’s most creative and defiant music. Under the spiritual influence of the “Singing River” as Native Americans called it, the music of Muscle Shoals has helped create some of the most important and resonant songs of all time. At its heart is Rick Hall who founded FAME Studios. Overcoming crushing poverty and staggering tragedies, he brought black and white together in Alabama’s cauldron of racial hostility to create music for the generations. He is responsible for creating the “Muscle Shoals sound” and The Swampers, the house band at FAME that eventually left to start their own successful studio, known as Muscle Shoals Sound. Greg Allman, Clarence Carter, Mick Jagger, Etta James, Alicia Keys, Keith Richards, Percy Sledge and others bear witness to Muscle Shoals’ magnetism, mystery and why it remains influential today.

Even Alicia Keys? Yoooo! Stream it on Netflix or cop at the link below whenever you like.

“Peace is more than the absence of war.”

Let’s see what the Purple Rocker is dropping. This “Baltimore” (featuring Eryn Allen Kane)… pretty dope and timely. The song cries and cries out for those suffering brutality and injustice in the USA – Baltimore and beyond. Shared in the liner notes for this SoundCloud share:

Please know that all involved in this project never take for granted the privileges we have in this country. Let’s all continue to fight the good fight and confront inhumanity on every level until the day it is no longer.

Point Break (Trailer)

Hmmm… big-wave surfing, wing-suit flying, snowboarding, free rock climbing, and motorcycling chases… this could be some “Furious 7” on coke and steroids! However… I hope they don’t mess this movie up. The original was a classic. Check out the trailer above, and spring for the popcorn if you go see the movie (definitely filled with action & thrills). Due in theaters Christmas Day.

In Alcon Entertainment’s fast-paced, high-adrenaline action thriller “Point Break,” a young FBI agent, Johnny Utah (Luke Bracey), infiltrates a cunning team of thrill-seeking elite athletes – led by the charismatic Bodhi (Edgar Ramirez). The athletes are suspected of carrying out a spate of crimes in extremely unusual ways. Deep undercover, and with his life in imminent danger, Utah strives to prove they are the architects of this string of inconceivable crimes.
