Derek Jarman’s 12-Minute Film for Marianne Faithfull’s “Broken English” Album
Broken English, the seventh studio album by English singer Marianne Faithfull, was released in November, 1979 and marked a major comeback for Faithfull after years of drug abuse, homelessness, and suffering from anorexia. It is often regarded as her “definitive recording” and Faithfull herself described it as her “masterpiece”.
The deluxe reissue was released in a cardboard sleeve and features the original album remastered by Jared Hawkes with the first disc consisting only of the original album along with a 12-minute film directed by Derek Jarman. The film was designed to be shown in theaters and had never been released for home video before.
Easter Eggs You Missed In Stranger Things 2
When it comes to the Netflix original series Stranger Things, there are a seemingly endless supply of Easter Eggs and knowing nods to other movies and pop culture properties. In fact, it might be faster to list all the bits of the show that don’t actually refer to something else, rather than those that do. And that’s not all. Sometimes what looks like an Easter Egg — like Lucas’s collection of He-Man action figures and Maxine’s nickname of Mad Max — are actually just details that come from a show set in the 1980s. But in the interests of making your next rewatch more satisfying, here’s a not-anywhere-close-to-complete list of some of the more overt Easter Eggs you might’ve missed in Stranger Things Season 2. And before you get mad and open up your face with rage like the demogorgon, just remember: spoilers ahead…

These People Are Put In Total Isolation To See If They Can Figure Out An Hour
Australian radio hosts Hamish & Andy put three people into total isolation room to see who could hit a buzzer most accurately at the one hour mark. It’s easy to vibe out one second without a clock, but one hour is a little more tricky. I would have been bored after the first minute, and hit the buzzer just to go back to checking my email.
Michael Ray Donates More Than 100K Meals To Shelter Animals On “Get To You” Tour
A life-long animal supporter, Platinum-selling recording artist Michael Ray launched Wrigley Cares: Helping Animals In Need earlier this month as a philanthropic component to his 15-city “Get To You” Tour. Named after his rescue dog, Wrigley, the chart-topping singer/songwriter teamed up with Zappos For Good and local animal shelters to set up donation stations at each of his “Get To You” Tour stops. In just four weeks on the road, Ray and his fans have collected 100,320 meals to donate to animals in need, based on one cup of food as an average per food meal size.
“We set out to see how we can help animals in need and we are blown away by the huge response,” shared Michael Ray. “When we’re on the road, we stop in each town and become a part of the community for a night while on stage. It’s inspiring to see the ‘Get To You’ Tour can leave a lasting impression and feed so many shelter animals. Wrigley’s stoked too.”
“Zappos For Good is humbled once again to have partners like Michael Ray and his fans, who’ve helped us make a difference in the lives of so many pets around the country,” said Steven Bautista, Head of Charity at Zappos.com. “With their help, our Give campaign is able to provide a much-needed service.”
“Get To You,” the lead single off Ray’s forthcoming sophomore album, has amassed over six million on-demand streams as the single climbs the country charts. The “passionate, inked-up country rocker” (Tampa Bay Times) impresses audiences across the country on his second headline tour. With staples in his set like Platinum-certified No. 1’s “Think A Little less” and “Kiss You In The Morning,” Ray’s live show presence continues to be praised for “the energy and the polish of a pro” (Nash Country Daily).
March 2017 brought Michael Ray his second No.1 single with “Think A Little Less” off his debut self-titled album. This followed his first No. 1 single, “Kiss You In The Morning” which went to the top spot in just 24 weeks. Ray continues to grow his following, having toured with Sam Hunt, Kip Moore, Brantley Gilbert and Darius Rucker and wrapped up his own first 40 city headlining tour last year.
Ray was raised in Eustis, Florida an hour from Orlando, and grew up hunting alligators and fishing for tarpon at the end of white sand dirt roads. The child of a family full of musicians, he began his professional career before he was a teenager, graduated to the bar scene as soon as he could drive and hasn’t let up on the pedal since. When he decided it was time to move to Nashville, the work Ray had put in began to pay off quickly as he landed a publishing contract with Warner/Chappell Music and a record deal with Atlantic Records /Warner Music Nashville.
