Fangirl Friday: The Amazing Devil

Heyo! I hope you've been doing well since my hiatus! As my first actual post back, I figured why not write about my favorite music duo. This one will be shorter than most posts because I am so rusty. I have to find my mojo again.

I am a relatively new fan of The Amazing Devil. I only started listening to them last year. I, like a lot of other people, watched The Witcher on Netflix and fell in love with the bard, Jaskier, who is wonderfully portrayed by Joey Batey. I like music so, I listened to The Witcher soundtrack while also looking up Joey's other work. I mostly wanted to see if he has sang in any other roles and that is how I stumbled upon The Amazing Devil.

If you are new and have no idea who they are, The Amazing Devil is an alt-folk duo made up of Joey Batey and Madeleine Hyland. I had included both of them in "My Top 10 Singers - 2021 Update" back in February.

Their music has definitely helped get me through this pandemic, especially last summer when I had COVID. I was excited when they teased the new album, Ruin, and I was excited when they released it on Halloween, though I didn't get to listen to it until they released it on Spotify. The album was worth the wait.

I like all kinds of music, though my knowledge of folk artist is lacking severely. I stated in the past that the band, Palaye Royale, meets my artistic aesthetic, but The Amazing Devil hit something different in my soul. I cannot put it into words, but their music is just so good.

My favorite song by them is "Welly Boots" from The Horror and the Wild. It is such a beautiful song with so much emotion. I included a fanmade video of the song below, because as always Blogger has failed me with their YouTube function. However, it is the song playing in the background.

I do want to do one of my Kinda Reviews of The Horror and the Wild, since it has become such an important album to me. Maybe I'll also do one for Love Run and Ruin. We'll see.

They are so unbelievable talented. If you haven't checked out The Amazing Devil, I HIGHLY recommend listening to them. I also recommend watching The Witcher to experience Joey Batey's performance as Jaskier.

I am so excited to have him return in the new upcoming season.

It's been so long since I had written a post, but I will hopefully get back to the flow of things soon!

Why Blue is the Real Villain of Blue's Big City Adventure

Okay, so maybe "villain" isn't the right word. Blue is more like the antagonist. This post is about the Blues' Clues & You movie Blue's Big City Adventure. So there will be spoilers. If you have Paramount+, it's only an hour watch. I promise it is worth the watch if you have watched Blue's Clues in any capacity. Blue's Big City Adventure poster If you were born in the 90s or early 2000s like me then you most likely watched the original Blue's Clues show hosted by either Steve (Steve Burns) or Joe (Donovan Patton). I have an older and a younger brother, so I got to experience both. However, MY host was Steve, and I am a Steve fan til the day I die. I have Blue's Clues & You playing in the background as I write this post because I realized I haven't watched a single episode of the new series despite watching the movie 6 times. I cannot stress enough how much I love Blue's new design. She looks so much fluffier. The original Blue...

Fangirl Friday: Deleasa

Heyo! Happy Friday! It's that time of the week when I ramble about someone I love! Today's subject is DJ and producer, Deleasa. His name is Mike Deleasa and while I normally refer to my subjects by first name in these posts, I will be referring to him by his stage name, Deleasa. NOW to understand how I became a fan of Deleasa, we have to go all the way back to 2012, when Kevin and Danielle Jonas' reality show, Married to Jonas premiered. I bet you're wondering what does this guy have to do with the Jonas Brothers? Deleasa is actually Danielle's brother, making him Kevin's brother-in-law. He was featured in the reality show and I ended up falling in love with him. He was actually my parasocial "rebound" from Joe. You can read all about my parasocial breakup with Joe in my Fangirl Friday about him . But enough about the Jonas Brothers. That's not why we're here. Plus I've already written 30k words about them on this blog. However, I am for...

That Time Rod Stewart Found Other Ways of Doing Cocaine

Heyo! Happy Monday! This week's That Time... is a doozy. If you're a classic rock fan or a fan of Rod Stewart, you probably know exactly what this post is about. This one is a short one, but an interesting one. So bear with me. Of course need to put a warning about drug use. There are plenty of other posts that you are more than welcome to check out if this isn't your thing. If you are unfamiliar with Rod Stewart, let me introduce you to the ICON! He's a rockstar who also has a few pop bangers. I grew up with his music and can't remember a time in my life without his music. The first song I think of when he pops into my head is "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" . I know it's the most basic song of his, but I have fond memories listening to the song on the radio when I was a kid. He's also dabbled in a few bands, but I am more familiar with his solo work than his bands. Though check out his band, Faces. In 2012, Rod released his autobiography, Rod: The A...
