Yes @mxs-space we are talking about the iconic Mark Landers from Olive et Tom

I love him, he's literally the best and deserves the world and his not appreciated nearly enough. Do you realise that when Julian Ross's heart stopped he was the only one that didn't continue playing and that people then were angry with him for that ? Do you realise his alcoholic ex-coach he considered a father figure since he was his only male role model after his dad died and he had to provide for his family despite still being a child went and said he was a lot better and more aggressive when winning at football was his only chance of going to middle school and make sure his siblings could also go to school ??? Bitch just went and was like "you're awful and I hate you now that you're not desperate anymore" ! Can you believe it ???? He's just a boy ! A boy the narrative is trying to call a bad guy when he's the one with the best motivations !

A ciascuno il suo viaggio

. Hoy se celebra el Día del deporte en Japón y me apetecía compartir algo de mi CORE, que es lo mismo que decir cuore, lo que me tiene secuestrado el corazón desde que a los 10 años vi por primera vez Campeones, también conocido como Oliver y Benji. Porque antes de fan del yaoi y del romance mm, yo siempre he sido muy, MUY fan de Oliver y Benji. Fan hasta niveles de los que marcan la trayectoria de tu vida. Y aunque luego me enamoré de otros manganimes de deporte y competiciones (Slam Dunk, Prince of Tennis, Initial D, Eyeshield21, Oofuri y Haikyû), la marca imborrable me la dejó esta serie. No dudo que una de las razones por las que me enganché a la saga Harry Potter fue porque combinaba homenajes a Roald Dahl y Narnia (mi infancia y adolescencia), con el manganime de deportes (mi absoluta pasión), y con tramas de misterio. Bueno, y por la montaña de fanfics, fanarts y doujinshis que vendrían nada más terminar el cuatro libro y tener que esperar dos años hasta el siguiente.

After many, many years of digging through piles + piles of records in basically any place they can be found--one starts to build claimed habits to pick out those special gems hiding amongst the dust + grime of forgotten time. You pick up on strange and obscure labels that consistently impress--lesser known producers or even better known producers working under aliases. You pick up on well thought-out song titles that 'just have to be good,' or maybe you go by the instrument and gear used on a record to judge its possible greatness, or at the very least, strangeness. Personally, the artwork of a record sleeve is usually the most reliable way to find something special to scrape up, clean off, and take back to the comfort of my home.

In the not too distant past, I was doing one of my many rounds through the record shops + bookstores in Berkeley. I popped into Pegasus Books downtown and happened to stumble across a beautifully designed record from '87 called Sleeps With The Fishes by Pieter Nooten and Michael Brook. As I turned the sleeve over to investigate a little more, I was not surprised to find the classic 4AD graphic placed at the bottom of the sleeve. The 4AD label has always placed importance on the whole package to represent their overall aesthetic. Thanks to Vaughan Oliver and Nigel Grierson, a graphic designer + photographer/filmmaker duo who worked for 4AD throughout the 80’s as 23 Envelope, the perfect blending of the sound of this record is coupled with the outer + inner sleeve artwork to create a world you get absorbed by + even lost in for a bit.
