Main Blog in English of Halcombe Norilsk: Author of 6 books. Movies, literature, fashion, music, wide range of unique stories and a lot of more gripping things... as the adventures of the peerless character Halcombe Hackney Norilsk.
Having rich and famous parents is positive. Isn´t it? And if in the case of Lily-Rose Depp you are pretty and talented as well, you have everything to star in a great TV series because besides, HBO has a big budget and outstanding professionals to carry on a project to turn it into a successful TV series.
In fact, the new TV seriesThe Idol has captured my attention because of its plot and its final trailer which can be found now:
TRÁILER THE IDOL HBO
Born after the famous Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, Lily-Rose Depp is likewise one of the muses of the prestigious French House Chanel to which she has starred in advertisements as spectacular as this one that was shot in Los Angeles.
LILY-ROSE DEPP CHANEL
They are not actors, however, as the TV series talks about the world of music in the competitive city of Los Angeles, two of the main characters are Jennie from Blackpink and Toronto singer of Ethiopian origins The Weeknd albeit I do not believe Jennie is going to star a torrid scene in any regard sincerely, as it would damage her career and perhaps this is only a publicity stunt.
Anyway, The Idol has everything to become the TV series of this year 2023
Rolling Stone magazine revolutionized the world of music and music journalism. Born in San Francisco (Northern California) was able to captivate the audience in such a way it became the "Bible of rock and roll music" and indeed, artists fought each other in order to appear on the cover because it was deemed an honour (it still is).
The Rolling Stones, which was one of the best rock and roll bands in the world at that time, sued the magazine because they thought the title was very similar to their name hence illegal. However, both parties reached an agreement which fulfillment still is ongoing.
Rolling Stone magazine opened to other musical genres and in the 1990s, it embraced the world of cinema and other kinds of articles, even political ones. With the Internet kicking off Rolling Stone lost relevance as many other magazines but the real problem it faces nowadays is that the new owner is a close friend of Donald Trump only interested in obtaining money when this magazine was very idealistic in its inception.
In fact, seeing this change in the ownership many of the outstanding writers of Rolling Stoneleft. For instance, critic Peter Travers who was the movie reviewer of the magazine for decades.
Anyway, Rolling Stone still is relevant and Rosalía makes history. As a matter of fact, if you are not from America or a country in the same orbit and you do not sing in English achieving what Rosalía has just done is truly remarkable and complicated.
However, even though the pictures are spectacular I was not impressed with the article published on Rosalía and I believe it is because I live in Spain thereby I got plenty of information about her and the magazine published something bearing the American audience in mind.
Similarly, one of the biggest hits of Rosalía in 2022, Despechá, has a new and brilliant live version that can be discovered right now:
ROSALÍA DESPECHÁ LIVE
Finally, a new remix of her hit Despechá has been recorded with Cardi B.
I usually end up my writing year with a selection of the best songs as I have done in this 2022 too. Even though I have not selected a great number of songs perhaps this time the quality is better than past years.
By the way, there are two pop artists who have more than one song included: Chanel and Ana Mena but as always there is more than pop in the following playlist. What is more, you are to discover the best song of the year at the end of this article which is truly emotive...
THE BEST SONGS OF 2022
Bad Gyal Sin Carné
Llámame WRS
Ana Mena Mezzanotte
Música Ligera-Ana Mena
Despechá-Rosalía
Tissues-Yungblud
Hasta los Dientes-Camila Cabello y María Becerra
Losing my Religion-Ian Storm John Laurant and Carl Clarks
I discovered this musician thanks to Spanish journalist Inés Chamil who works for the musical magazine Mariskal Rock who interviewed him recently and in a superb way as you can see in her Instagram account.
Despite the music video of Tissues is not as fabulous as it should be when this artist plays this song live, Tissues sounds even better. Watch this performance in the show of Jimmy Kimmel for instance.
YUNGBLUD TISSUES LIVE JIMMY KIMMEL
.
Likewise, Yungblud played Tissues at the gala of the 40 Principales in Madrid, Spain, recently and so awesome this performance resulted that this artist jumped onto a table as you can see in the following video:
YUNGBLUD TISSUES LIVE LOS 40 PRINCIPALES
Tissues is the best rock song of 2022. Formidable.
I had a very interesting article about the cemetery of the city of Soria which is set in a verily beautiful and special place. What is more, such an article was filled with plenty of videos for my YouTube channel but I made a mistake because I thought I had these videos on my computer already, and as I do not have much space left I deleted the files with these videos which are forever lost.
To overcome somehow this painful loss I am writing this article which talks about the city of Ágreda that despite being small is one of the most important inside the province of Soria. Indeed, Soria is a very uninhabited province, yet it is beautiful this is why I did record plenty of videos of Agreda that can be seen now. For instance, Dehesa of Ágreda is notable.
Charles II was the last Spanish king who knew the Crown of Aragon. The successor of Charles II, Philip V, abolished the Crown of Aragon forever, something which could be deemed a mistake because Spain had a singular federal crown that had possessions in the current Spanish regions of Aragon, Comunidad Valenciana, Catalonia or the Balears Islands.
If Charles II had had children Spain would have been a different country now probably because Crown of Aragon would be still alive but as Charles II died without any children an international conflict began in order to choose his successor.
The Crown of Aragon supported the successor of the Austrias and the rest of Spain supported the Bourbon candidate who was the ultimate winner, albeit Spain apart from losing the European possessions The Crown of Aragon owned (in current Greece, Italy or France) also had to cede Gibraltar and Menorca to Great Britain.
Yet, Charles II died without any children of his own. It is assured his ancestors had children between them. Hence, he was a sick boy with a feminine look who similarly was unable to have children. When born he was considered an ugly and horrible baby at who was difficult to look.
Charles II
Charles II belonged to the Habsburg dynasty which ended its period in Spain with his death in the year 1700 which whereby started the Spanish war of succession which introduced the Bourbon dynasty something that still takes place as the current King of Spain, Philip VI (the only one political figure who guarantees the unity of the Kingdom of Spain) deeply knows.
The city of Barcelona fell on September 11, 1714 during this war of succession which as I was saying was an international conflict, this is why the day of Catalonia takes place on September, 11th, as the people of Catalonia (both men and women widely know for sure)
I talked about her recently and I am showing the link again now so that you can discover the amazing performance of Brazilian-born artist Anitta in Madrid recently (Follow this Link:Anitta en los últimos Premios Los 40 Principales )
and after seeing this performance I devised it clearly: Anitta should try a collab with Rosalia insofar as it would have plenty of possibilities to become a worldwide hit and, what is more, it would have a steamy and hot music video overlaid with sheer erotism.
READ THIS IN SPANISH (Es Bad Gyal la Nueva Rosalía BAD GYAL
However, I have just discovered similarly, an artist called Bad Gyal who, like Rosalía, is also from Catalonia, and of course, she is not as famous as Rosalía yet when discovering her song and its music video Sin Carne (which translation could be Without an ID) is clear she does own a promising future and she is possessed of plenty of talent.
As a result, Bad Gyal could be perfectly the new Rosalía but, of course, Rosalia is a huge artist and I do not think Bad Gyal does have as many hits of her own as her because the truth is: Rosalia is really, really famous and the star of plenty of popular songs.
Is Bad Gyal the New Rosalia?
Anyway, her song and music video Sin Carné, which can be seen now, makes one believe Bad Gyal could be the new Rosalia for sure. Take a look!!!
BAD GYAL SIN CARNÉ OFFICIAL VIDEO
However, Bad Gyal has just received an award from MTV Europe as the best Spanish artist something that sounds overly strange because Rosalía is more famous than her and, what is more, Rosalía has recorded a good album this year 2022. All in all, Is Bad Gyal the new Rosalía??
One of the most emotive moments in Dulce Katia (Sweet Kathy) might be when the two protagonists see each other again in a remote place and together they sing a classic Bruce Springsteen song: Atlantic City whose official video can be discovered now
But this song is really old. Thus, Bruce Springsteen modernizes whereby it sounds more modern, and sings it live like this. The truth is this version sounds equally brilliant. Take a look at it:
Atlantic City
ATLANTIC CITY LIVE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
Not only Nebraska could be deemed the best record of Bruce Springsteen yet it can also be one of the best records in rock history and it was recorded 40 years ago (January, 1982) in a beautiful village inside the state of New Jersey: Colts Neck, Monmouth County. Precisely, it was in this city at which we did stay for some time whilst I was working in Northamerica and we were opening a Zara store in the shopping centre of Freehold.
As a result, if you are to read Sweet Kathy or you have done it you will learn something else. The beginning of the song makes reference to something real: the murderer of a mafia boss in Philadelphia in 1980 for whom the protagonist of this tune works. Atlantic City is truly well written and it is my favorite song from the wide repertoire of Bruce Springsteen.
Before travelling to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, we did have to spend a night in Zaragoza and I trusted again the hotel NH Ciudad de Zaragoza yet this time my experience was different because of the room in which we stayed and because I was in the gym of this hotel, a place I did not visit the last time I was in this same building. Review: NH Ciudad de Zaragoza
My Hotel in Zaragoza, Spain and a Professional Model in Lisbon, Portugal
But something magical did take place, something about which I have not talked as yet. Unexpectedly, and while I was in one of the most remarkable places of the Portuguese capital (one of the main squares that is close to the sea), I saw a professional model who was working and the dispositive was spectacular insofar as there were 20 people working alongside her. The following videos show all of these:
A PROFESSIONAL MODEL IN LISBON
A PROFESSIONAL MODEL IN LISBON
This will be probably my last article with regards to Lisbon as it is main protagonist and the last one of this month of October but do not worry at all, as there will be more and better ones this November.
In this article similarly, I am to include some of the beautiful videos I have of her. It is important to see things from a positive point of view thereby this is why I have realised it is clever to end up with this painful experience with some great videos I own of this Thai girl, yet remembering her offensive and abrupt final message:
This is the abrupt and offensive final message of my Thai Friend:
You're a guy who isn't handsome and has a bad habit of taking his side. You think you're wonderful, but are you really? A narcissistic man like you only values the false admiration I give to people like you are not worthy of me because there are so many men who will be kind to me and truly love me. You go away, I don't know you. You're the most selfish idiot. Stop asking me if I cheated on you, I never had a crush on you
