Casino game review of King Kong cash

0

Play the fantastic King Kong cash slot today, for the ultimate gaming experience. The objective of the game is to wake up the sleeping King Kong, if you dare, and persuade him to go and unlock some big money prizes for you.

What sets this game apart from Blackjack alongside its unique theme is the amazing bonus rounds which just go on and on, the wilds, and a wide variety of glorious graphics and immersive audio to keep you completely entertained throughout the entirety of the game.

King Kong cash slot takes the serious tone of the King Kong movies and has adapted them to ensure the game is a fun filled experience for every player, and this game is more reminiscent of the Jungle Book than King Kong, thanks to the playful undertones which accompany the game. 

Gameplay on this UK slot game

King Kong cash slot is entertaining and comes with various extras, despite not having a progressive jackpot, which not all slot games do, King Kong cash slot gives players 1000 times your bet in bonus rounds and you get the option of choosing from two symbols that are worth much, giving you  500 times you bet placed for five of a kind.

Bonus rounds throughout the game offer the player free spins, with multipliers and expanding wilds which really add more bang to your buck when you win.

So where does one start when there are so many bonuses to choose from with King Kong cash slot. With the base game, you can randomly awake King Kong at any time and get offered a wide variety of win modifiers and multipliers which are enhanced.

All of these are themed to a fun King Kong reference – these are among cannon wilds which feature bananas, golden barrel super spins, bonus boosts, Kong response and a King Kong streak. 

King Kong cash slot special features

Taking into account that the base game round has wilds and game logo symbols which offer 500 times your bet, there is an extra bonus given at random to really spice up the player’s overall gaming experience.

With this the win lines are fixed so all you have to do is set up your total bet figure, and hit auto play to watch the fun and games appear right before your very eyes while you just sit back and relax.

But here is where the fun really begins – get more than three of the King Kong bonus scatters and you will trigger an upward escalation to make up a bonus round progression.

First, a reel will spin at random to offer you one of the five bonus rounds, and you can then either gamble to move up the ranks to the next round or you can choose to collect the bonus game which is offered. 

Verdict

King Kong cash slot has got everything that the best online slot games should have to offer, including fantastic bonuses and gameplay, a fun theme and you don’t need to download to play either, so there’s no excuse not to give this game a go.

‘Camera Three’ had an awful time slot when airing in the 1960s, so here’s the program with legendary bluesmen Son House & Buddy Guy

0

Camera Three was an American anthology series devoted to the arts. It began as a Sunday afternoon local program on WCBS-TV in New York before moving to the network on CBS at 11:30 a.m. Eastern time, airing from January 22, 1956, to January 21, 1979, and then moved to PBS in its final year to make way for the then-new CBS News Sunday Morning, which incorporated regular segments devoted to the arts.

Here’s the program from 1968 when legendary blues artists Son House and Buddy Guy performed.

Talking Heads, Selena & more to be honored with Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award

0

The Recording Academy has announced the honorees for its 2021 Special Merit Awards. The Lifetime Achievement Award honorees are Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, Lionel Hampton, Marilyn Horne, Salt-N-Pepa, Selena, and Talking Heads. Ed Cherney, Benny Golson and Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds are Trustees Award honorees; and Daniel Weiss is the Technical GRAMMY Award recipient. The honorees will be recognized on the 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards on Jan. 31, 2021. Given the challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, more details about the special award presentation event will be announced at a later date.

Formed in the South Bronx of New York City in 1978, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five are among the pioneers of hip-hop. The group’s use of turntablism, break-beat deejaying, choreographed stage routines, and lyricism was a significant force in the early development of the genre.

Lionel Hampton* started his career as a drummer in Chicago in the 1920s before he played the vibraphone with Louis Armstrong. In the 1930s, he broke barriers with the Benny Goodman Quartet, one of the first integrated jazz bands in America. In the 1940s, he formed his own Lionel Hampton Orchestra, which became one of the longest-running orchestras in jazz history.

Marilyn Horne is one of the most prolific opera singers of our time. Over her six-decade career, she has garnered numerous honors, including four GRAMMY Awards, a Kennedy Center Honors, the National Medal of Arts, a Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters from France’s ministry of culture, and a National Endowment for the Arts Opera Honors.

As one of the first all-female rap groups, Salt-N-Pepa broke down a number of doors for women in hip-hop. Formed in Queens, New York, in 1985, the group crafted hits such as “Push It,” “Shoop,” “Whatta Man,” and the GRAMMY-winning “None Of Your Business.” They were also one of the first rap artists to crossover, laying the groundwork for the hip-hop’s widespread popularity in the early ’90s.

The Queen of Tejano, Selena became a household name not long after her career took off in the 1980s. Her 1993 album, Live, won Best Mexican-American Album at the 36th Annual GRAMMY Awards, marking the first time a female Tejano artist won the category. Though her life was tragically cut short in 1995, Selena’s crossover album, the posthumously released Dreaming Of You, sold 175,000 on the day of its release, a then record for a female vocalist.

Talking Heads, formed in 1975 in New York City, helped to pioneer new wave music by blending elements of punk, rock, art pop, funk, and world music with an avant-garde aesthetic. In 2002, 11 years after the group disbanded, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Ed Cherney was one of the most sought-after engineers in the industry. His four-decade career began as an assistant engineer working with Bruce Swedien and Quincy Jones on Michael Jackson’s Off The Wall. Cherney went on to record, mix and engineer albums for artists such as the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop, and Fleetwood Mac, among others. A four-time GRAMMY winner, he also founded the Academy’s Producers & Engineers Wing.

Benny Golson is an international jazz legend who has composed more than 300 works over his 70-year career. He has composed and arranged music for artists such as John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Goodman, and Lionel Hampton, and is the only living artist to write eight jazz standards. His prolific writing also includes scores for many hit TV series and films.

Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds is a poignant tunesmith, prolific producer, superstar recording artist, and revolutionary label owner. An 11-time GRAMMY winner, including a record four Producer Of The Year, Non-Classical awards, Babyface has been instrumental in the careers of artists such as Toni Braxton, Usher and TLC and has crafted hundreds of pop and R&B hits with artists including Whitney Houston, the Whispers, Brandy, Boyz II Men, Madonna, and Eric Clapton.

Daniel Weiss is one of the true pioneers of digital technology. In 1985, he founded Weiss Engineering Ltd. in Zurich, Switzerland. The company has designed and manufactured groundbreaking digital audio equipment for mastering studios, including the IBIS digital mixing console and the ultra-high quality Gambit Series digital products.

The Lifetime Achievement Award celebrates performers who have made outstanding contributions of artistic significance to the field of recording, while the Trustees Award honors such contributions in areas other than performance. The Recording Academy’s National Board of Trustees determines the honorees of both awards. Technical GRAMMY Award recipients are voted on by the Academy’s Producers & Engineers Wing Advisory Council and Chapter Committees, and are ratified by the Academy’s Trustees. The award is presented to individuals and companies who have made contributions of outstanding technical significance to the recording industry.

Taylor Swift Makes Unprecedented Billboard History

0

Rounding out a landmark 2020, Taylor Swift closes out the year by making history once more. evermore, her latest 5 star album, bows at #1 on the Billboard 200, and her single “willow” captures #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, cementing her as the only artist in history to simultaneously debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 and Billboard Hot 100 twice. Taylor is the only artist ever to accomplish this historic milestone in one year.

She accomplishes this feat only four months removed from the concurrent arrival of folklore and “cardigan” at #1 on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100, respectively—which initially made her “the only artist in history to simultaneously debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 and Billboard Hot 100.” Not to mention, “willow” is her seventh #1 on the Hot 100 and third #1 debut on the chart.

This week, she also holds #1 on the Billboard 200 with evermore and #3 with folklore. Occupying these two spots, she becomes “the first woman to log two albums in the Top 3 of the Billboard 200 since 1963.”

Rock and Roll Love Blueprint – A History of Rock Music

0

Dorothy has done it again, this time a history of rock music mapped out on the circuit board of guitar amplifier.

Our Rock and Roll Love Blueprint celebrates over 1400 musicians, artists, songwriters and producers who have been pivotal to the evolution of the sprawling genre that is rock music. From the early debt owed to blues, gospel, jazz and country performers like Ma Rainey, Lead Belly, Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Woody Guthrie who paved the way for rock and roll pioneers like Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Elvis who in turn inspired a generation including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and The Velvet Underground and continue to inspire musicians today like The White Stripes, Arctic Monkeys and St Vincent.

The print pays homage to the music and artists that laid the foundation for rock and roll, including Memphis and Delta blues (W.C. Handy, Memphis Minnie, Lead Belly, Robert Johnson), gospel (Sister Rosetta Tharpe), country (Jimmie Rodgers, The Carter Family), folk (Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger), boogie-woogie (Fats Domino), Chicago blues (Muddy Waters, B. B. King), doo-wop (The Drifters, The Teenagers) and jump blues (Louis Jordan, Wynonie Harris).

The print then weaves through the pioneers of early rock and roll (Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Buddy Holly, The Everly Brothers), the 50’s stars shaping youth culture (Bill Haley & His Comets, Elvis Presley, Eddie Cochran), skiffle (Lonnie Donegan), and the subsequent British invasion (The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Dusty Springfield).

Moving through the american folk revival (Odetta, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez), 60’s folk rock (The Byrds, Joni Mitchell, Simon & Garfunkel), British folk rock (Fairport Convention, Nick Drake) and 60’s psych (Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin).

Celebrating the electric guitar gods (Jimi Hendrix, The Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin), metal heavy-weights (Black Sabbath, Metallica, Iron Maiden), hard rock heroes (Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Motörhead), prog and art rock (Pink Floyd, Genesis, Kate Bush), experimental rock (Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, Tom Waits).

Taking in garage rock and proto-punk (The Stooges, MC5), glam rock (David Bowie, Slade), New York and CBGB punk (New York Dolls, Ramones, Patti Smith) UK punk (Sex Pistols, The Clash, Buzzcocks) post-punk (Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, The Cure) hardcore and post-hardcore punk (Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Hüsker Dü) alternative rock and college rock (R.E.M. Pixies, Dinosaur Jr.), grunge (Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Hole), Riot grrrl (Bikini Kill, Sleater-Kinney), Indie (The Smiths, The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays), Shoe-gazers (My Bloody Valentine), Brit-pop (Blur, Oasis, Pulp), punk-pop (Green Day, Blink-182), garage rock revival (The Strokes, The White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs), post-rock (Sigur Rós, Mogwai) alternative metal (Deftones, Linkin Park, Korn, Slipknot) emo (My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Paramore) indie-folk (Fleet Foxes, Sufjan Stephens, Sharon Van Etten, Michael Kiwanuka), and the new crop of post-punk bands (IDLES, Fontaines D.C., Savages).

The print also celebrates the places that were focal points for scenes (Cavern Club and Merseybeat, The Gaslight Cafe and Greenwich Village folk scene, CBGB and punk and Eric’s and post-punk), the designers and artists who influenced the aesthetics (Hipgnosis and Pink Floyd, Jamie Reid and Sex Pistols, Andy Warhol and The Velvet Underground) and the inventors of rock’s essential musical instruments (Leo Fender, Les Paul, Jim Marshall, Dick Denney).

 

Top 4 Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing a Hard Drive Recovery Software

0

When it comes to choosing a hard drive recovery software, there are numerous options to explore. Just as these softwares are different in terms of features and functionalities, that is how the needs of users usually vary. It is the reason why you have to be careful while reaching a final decision on which program to download and install in your system. Don’t forget that failure to choose the right software can simply mean compromising your needs.

The task to choose a software for recovery of data in your hard drive can prove quite complicated. This is because of the numerous options you have to choose from. This post will be revealing some of the pitfalls to avoid while trying to choose a reliable software for recovering data in your hard drive today.

Avoid freebies for now

Most of the time, people talk about free had drive recovery softwares like they are the best to ever come into existence since sliced bread. It is true they are effective but you need to consider some facts about them too. It is all about striking a balance between their pros and cons before deciding whether they are worth your time.

One of the major reasons why you need to avoid free data recovery software for now is due to their limitations. For instance, they usually have a limited amount of files/data you are expected to recover. Even when they offer unlimited data recovery features, they lack the effectiveness of paid tools.

There is also the problem of lack of regular updates. This is very important since it can ensure your system is not compromised. Most of the paid data recovery applications on the internet are updated on regular basis. This makes them to function effectively on their users’ PCs. If a software is paid and has got what you want, go for it.

Never considering your needs

Before being excited about what a data recovery software can offer, it is recommended that you take your needs into serious considerations. Most of these programs may appear great in terms of the features they offer users. However, they can just fall short when it comes to meeting your own needs.

It has been discovered that most data recovery tools on the internet lack flexibility. This is especially true when you make use of a free tool. Flexibility here means they can’t recover some file formats in your system. It can be very disappointing to download and install a software only to discover that it won’t be able to retrieve your file.

This is why you need to research about the software you plan installing. Find out the types of files that it can recover. Also, try to know whether such files are recovered safely or not. It may interest you to know that even some paid data recovery tools are not flexible. They have not been programmed to recover every type of file.

Ignoring recovery speed

Data recovery softwares are quite different especially when it comes to how they can help in getting back your lost files. This is one mistake that most people have made in the past when trying to choose a software. Of course, every producer or seller of these programs will tell you they have been perfectly designed. Don’t ever take their words for it since you could be disappointed.

Instead, try to conduct your own research in a bid to know how effective such tool can be during the process of data recovery. Some programs can take up to 1hour or more to recover your lost and damaged data. On the other hand, there are programs which can take around 30mins to recover the same files.

They usually vary in terms of efficiency during recovery process. One great way to find out more about the recovery speed is via user ratings. There are websites which allow people to make comments about the features of these software. Find out what past users have said about such features before making any kind of commitment.

Ignoring its user-friendliness

Do you know that some data recovery software are very complicated? You will have problem trying to explore their features. This is usually typical of data recovery software free download. Most times, users struggle to navigate their interfaces. They don’t know how the features can be activated to meet their needs.

A good data recovery tool doesn’t require any special skill or experience to use. All you have to do is have it downloaded and installed. After that, you can recover lost data with click of few buttons. There is no rocket science about this process.

Final words

The mistakes being revealed above are always made by people who want to recover their lost files. They don’t take some certain factors into consideration before deciding on which software to download and install for such task.

Neil Diamond’s ‘Sweet Caroline Global Singalong’ video unveiled

0

In what has been an extremely tough year for everybody worldwide, legendary singer Neil Diamond has been spreading some joy and togetherness across the globe. Today he reveals the results of a recent challenge set to fans worldwide, and the results are stunning – an inspirational, heartwarming Sweet Caroline Global Singalong video. Watch below.

Neil’s new studio album Neil Diamond With The London Symphony Orchestra, Classic Diamonds, smashed its way into the UK Top 5 on it’s first week of release at the start of the month, and as Christmas approaches, it’s risen to #2 in the latest midweeks, hot on the heels of Taylor Swift and sitting ahead of festive albums from Michael Buble, Gary Barlow and Ball & Boe.

The video arrives as fans were challenged last month to come together for a global singalong of his biggest hit ‘Sweet Caroline’. A site was launched at www.sweetcarolinesingalong.com where fans, celebrities & influencers alike, were able to upload videos of them singing along to Neil’s world famous classic. The singalong ran for a two week period between November 20th – December 4th.

In conjunction with the singalong, a ‘Sweet Caroline’ Tik Tok campaign using the original version of the hit song was also launched, running for a week and a half with contributions coming from some of the most influential Tik Tok creators, including Grandad Joe, The Harfin Family, Rosie & Harry, Sherice Banton, Callum Martin & Harvey Dudley. It has amassed just under a whopping 3 million views already, proving itself as a hit.

The new 14-classic song album Classic Diamonds, features new vocals from Neil Diamond paired with a new interpretation of Diamond’s most celebrated chart-topping hits performed by The London Symphony Orchestra. Recorded at both the world famous Abbey Road Studios in London and Neil Diamond’s studio in Los Angeles, the album was produced by Grammy®-winning producer/arranger Walter Afanasieff and co-arranged by Afanasieff and Grammy® winning conductor/arranger William Ross, who also conducted The London Symphony Orchestra for the recording.

Neil Diamond’s towering artistic achievements have carried him far, from Brooklyn Roads, to Glory Road, to Melody Road and now to Abbey Road. As a wordsmith and melodist, he is second to none and his music has touched generations in ways that are deeply personal, yet universally understood. These are songs of their time…and for all time. They are Classic Diamonds.
