In case you missed it…

Me and @BornIMusic put out this track on Beatport yesterday 😈

[Ladytron Fan Account @Lady_FanAccount]

"Kiss From a Rose" was written by Seal around 1987, but was only very successful in 1995 thanks to the film Batman Forever. Released in 1994 on the album Seal II, the song almost went unnoticed. Director Joel Schumacher loved the track and insisted on putting it in the end credits of the film.

After that, the track reached #1 in the US and won three Grammys in 1996 (Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance).

@betty_egg @Lady_FanAccount Sega and sleepovers. It was awesome. 🥲

The simplest and most direct way of reconciling the paradox of being fully awake and being fully human is to welcome everything. Welcoming everything means tenderness, kindness, acceptance. In other words, non-resistance to whatever you’re experiencing.

Nas and AZ taking it back to 1994 and perform the record Life’s a Bitch on jimmy fallon the tonight show 🔥🎶🎶

[Matt Reeves @mattreevesLA]

We meet again, my friend... 🦇

[Amoda Maa @AmodaMaa]

The silence beneath all thought is not a practice. It is who you are before the noise, before the story. Come home to that.

[Axel🦇 @AxelTalksFilm]

matt reeves really told us batman's origin in just one show-don't-tell moment, brilliant.

[Richard @RichardOcelot]

The initial look of apprehension and surprise when the woman first grabs onto him, before adjusting to his new outlook and giving her a reassuring hand and a comforting nod.
Top tier Batman performance moment.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Wishing all the moms out there a wonderful Mother’s Day!

To @MichelleObama, I’m grateful for all the ways you’ve shown up for our daughters and our family over the years. We love you.

The use of Nirvana’s “Something in the Way” in The Batman (2022) isn’t just a needle drop, it frames the entire film. From the opening monologue, it defines Bruce as isolated, exhausted, and already shaped by the darkness around him.

[𝒮𝒪𝒩𝒩𝒴 𝒮𝐸𝐻𝑅𝒜 ੴ @sonnysehra]

in the 1970s, a nigerien-ghanaian musician recorded a dreamy futuristic synth-folk lofi album and pioneered west african electronic music. his work was obscure and almost lost until being rediscovered in a music archive at a museum in niger in 2013. it’s hauntingly beautiful.

There is a natural tendency to move away from discomfort. But what happens if, just for a moment, nothing is resisted? In that allowing, something deeper begins to reveal itself.

Toni Morrison at Howard University as Queen Elizabeth in Shakespeare’s “Richard III."

[TheBarzul @TheBarzul]

Le fait qu’un enfant soit le premier à prendre la main de Batman montre que cette interprétation du personnage est réussie. Il peut terrifier les adultes, mais les plus jeunes comprennent instinctivement qu’il est là pour aider. Il ne faut pas oublier que lui-même a été un enfant confronté à la peur

[Melodies & Masterpieces @SVG__Collection]

John Coltrane gave Alice Coltrane a harp, not long before his death in 1967.

After losing him, Alice made it central to her music, using it to build the spiritual, otherworldly sound that defined her later career.

Bro woke up and out of every language he chose to speak facts

[Amoda Maa @AmodaMaa]

Supreme wisdom is not enough. There must be a tenderness of the heart.

Happy Birthday to the man, the myth, the legend @mattreevesLA 🦇
