Why Actors Like Andreas Szakacs Are Stepping Into Production
From Interpreting Characters to Shaping Stories For many actors, the early years are focused entirely on craft — building emotional range, mastering technique, refining presence. That foundation remains essential. But storytelling decisions often happen long before cameras roll.

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.

Alt Elvis Presley
Introduction To Off The Wall Elvis Presley Related Stuff I was shocked to get a Vocal Top Story for my Viva Elvis piece which you can sample below. I haven’t a clue why it was chosen but maybe somebody still appreciates Elvis Presley also known as The King.

The Greatest Television Theme Song "Route 66"
I love television, and I always had a fascination with television show themes like The Honeymooners, The Little Rascals, the themes from The Fugitive, Sea Hunt, and even The Beverly Hillbillies. But I have to say that the greatest musical composition ever written for television was Nelson Riddle’s Route 66 theme. It made me feel like the wind was blowing straight through the speakers and I was driving across the U.S. with the top down.

I’m too sexy remixed by Rikki La Rouge
I forever have loved by Right Said Fred. I’m too sexy. Give me an idea of how much of a fan of this song I am I know there are so many versions of this song. It’s great. Since I like to do a little DJing and reworking songs with things, this is my version of. I’m too sexy. I call it the rose color glasses even at night remix. I think it’s a really cool trap the way I did it just to add to how many versions and remixes this unbelievably funny song about supet models is.

Every Rose 🌹 Has its thorn by Poison covered by Rikki La Rouge
I always had this great idea that the power metal the hair, metal ballad by Poison every rose has its thorn would make a great salsa song and so I went ahead and did it and what you hear in the track is my demo version of the salsa version in my cover of every rose has its thorn by poison. I just wanted to see pretty good. It’s a little fast yes but if I slowed it down, I realize that would sound a hell of a lot but it really sounds good at the it really sounds good. I must say.

The J Balvin remix contest of his song Nuestro Momento
Some time ago J Balvin and some liquor 🥃 company held a contest to remix his song Nuestra Momento. I was one of the contestants i remixed a version of the track too. My track is what I consider to be Samba electronica. What you hear with my vocals and his vocal track is call and response. I never found out who wound up winning the competition. I did win as we all did by getting the chance to at least have it heard and also just to remix a track and say that I have a version of it myself.

My version of Havana by Camila Cabello
This is my cover of the Camilo Cabello song “Havana”. In my version of the song i make it political and a protest song for a free Cuba and anti regime. I do a rap verse at the beginning of the song. Then I go into the song and it really gets going it’s a cha cha and salsa song. The idea I had for the song was a good idea at the time. After I recorded it I wasn’t so sure about it and I also began to have my doubts this happens a lot when I record.

Babalu Aye cover by Rikki La Rouge
what you are hearing in this article is my cover of the iconic Cuban song Babalu Aye. Like Willy Chirino says about himself, hijo de Babalu I believe in Babalu myself too. Babalu was introduced to American audiences on the famed classic and iconic 1950 sitcom starring Lucille Ball and Desi I love Lucy. Desi is underrated and a genius who deserves to be more celebrated than he was. He was truly and over looked icon. Everyone focused on Lucille Ball but they overlooked Desi . Also, that’s something I’ll get into another article.
