Which NBA player does GOAT’s Will Harris play like?
When Will Harris — played by Caleb McLaughlin — steps on a Roarball court, the biggest criticism about him is his height. He’s the equivalent of a basketball point guard, which the film describes as a “small”. In fact, Will is the first small to ever be signed to a team in the league, which he receives a fair amount of ridicule for.

Ozzfest return
In a previous article i wrote regarding Ozzfest I wrote about how I don't think that Ozzfest should return with Ozzy and quite frankly I still don't. However, I have looked at it from both sides of the aisle as they say and though i stand by my point of view i also see that Ozzfest should carry on and it would be a great way to carry on and honor Ozzy's name and legacy and also still fly the flag for heavy music and metal as it had always done.

Just A Minute
Introduction As I write this or rather put this together, there are forty-one hours to go before the Vocal "Just A Minute" Challenge, and it got me thinking, what about a playlist of songs that last sixty seconds or less, and there are a lot of good ones that are literally gone in sixty seconds.

Why Actors Like Andreas Szakacs Are Stepping Into Production

10 Dark Americana Tracks Brimming With Quiet Anguish
If you asked me to describe one of the 2020's most popular musical aesthetics, I'd immediately jump to the genre that conjures images of haunted churches, grimy trailer parks and tattered American flags wavering in the wind. This genre has a lot of labels, including slowcore, indie pop and Southern gothic, but I've always thought of it as "dark Americana."

Why I Buy Second-Hand Vinyl Records
My apologies. This originally had my commentary but was blocked by YouTube due to the album "Thick as a Brick" playing in the background. So I repurposed it as an Instagram reel with ninety seconds of the music that got it blocked.
