A Ghostbusters vignette featuring Kevin, the receptionist in the upcoming film, was released yesterday in honor Administrative Professionals Day. Kevin is played adorably by Chris Hemsworth who looks to be hilarious in the role.

Violet Days Shares "Your Girl"
Check out "Your Girl" from Stockholm based Violet Days, the moniker (inspired by her grandmothers name) used by Swedish singer/songwriter Lina Hansson. Enjoy this pop gem.
“I guess this song is my way of saying that sometimes you need to feel like you're more than just enough for someone. That you want to feel special and deserve not to be taken for granted. It's like being kept in an emotional limbo where you don't know what anyone feels anymore, cause there's no interaction, and that sucks.” -- Lina Hansson

The Wild Wild released Kids, March 2016. You can pick it up HERE.
Dropping the needle on any part of The Wild Wild's debut EP Kids is to be immersed in retro sonics reminiscent of 80's synth based greats Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Springsteen and U2. In fact, Dunn is quick to reference the classic U2 track from 1984's "Bad" with its "wide awake, I'm not sleeping" refrain, when describing his artistic philosophy. "To be awake, eyes wide open to beauty and magic, that's my life philosophy, it makes you fearless knowing that the universe is ever conspiring for your happiness and something magical is about to happen right now. I don't want to sleep through it."

Director Antoine Fuqua brings his modern vision to a classic story in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures’ and Columbia Pictures’ The Magnificent Seven. With the town of Rose Creek under the deadly control of industrialist Bartholomew Bogue (Peter Sarsgaard), the desperate townspeople employ protection from seven outlaws, bounty hunters, gamblers and hired guns – Sam Chisolm (Denzel Washington), Josh Farraday (Chris Pratt), Goodnight Robicheaux (Ethan Hawke), Jack Horne (Vincent D’Onofrio), Billy Rocks (Byung-Hun Lee), Vasquez (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), and Red Harvest (Martin Sensmeier). As they prepare the town for the violent showdown that they know is coming, these seven mercenaries find themselves fighting for more than money.

About The Film
In the taut and tense thriller Money Monster, Lee Gates (George Clooney) is a bombastic TV personality whose popular financial network show has made him the money wiz of Wall Street. But after he hawks a high tech stock that mysteriously crashes, an irate investor (Jack O’Connell) takes Gates, his crew, and his ace producer Patty Fenn (Julia Roberts) hostage live on air. Unfolding in real time, Gates and Fenn must find a way to keep themselves alive while simultaneously uncovering the truth behind a tangle of big money lies.
Vaudeville Etiquette To Release New Album
Seattle based band Vaudeville Etiquette are set to release their new album, Aura Vista Motel on May 6. Check out the video for "Damn Lovely" from the album below. This one has been on repeat; I'm finding it a damn fine song. Also, notable from the album, "Set It On Fire", "Empty Hands" plus rockers "Crosseyed Crazy" and "Tipping Point". I'm not good at and don't like putting things in a box but I would call this album down-to-Earth country rock.
The new album gets its name from the motel that once occupied an infamous stretch of Highway 99 in Seattle. In its heyday, here was a motorist’s utopia, filled with a thriving middle class that was ready to explore America, traversed by the likes of Kerouac and Salinger, and full of romantic intrigue and possibility. Today, it’s a forgotten relic, a notoriously seedy stretch of road that attracts violence, drugs, prostitution, and one 5-piece folk-rock band that relentlessly believes in its spirit and potential.
What used to be the Aura Vista Motel is now where the band writes, rehearses, celebrates, argues, hones their music, and shoot their videos. It’s the Vaudeville Etiquette headquarters, it’s haunted, and it’s the catalyst behind all that they do. You can hear it on this record, as each song plays like a guest in a different room; separate but united by our wayfaring desires and sordid expectations.
They recorded the album with producer Shawn Simmons Studio Litho in Seattle, WA. “His knack for honing an intrinsic Seattle sound in the work he’s done with bands like The Head and The Heart and Lemolo was exactly what this record needed,” says Lynn. “He pushed us to create unique arrangements and employ unconventional recording and burrito-eating techniques that take the sounds on this album and gracefully elevate them to a psychedelic whirlwind, then down to an intimate lullaby and back around again. He’s a joy to work with and a hero at the helm.”

If I Dropped By…with Julia Haltigan + Show Details
Today, we drop in on singer/guitarist Julia Haltigan. She has a show coming up at (le) poisson rouge on April 25…doors are at 6PM and it will cost you $10. She will also be releasing her new EP, Hot Tears on the same day.
Here's what we found out when we dropped by.
* * *
Quirky NY Chick (QNYC): ... and brought a friend who didn't know your music, what song of yours would you play for them and why?
Julia Haltigan (JH): I would probably play "Burning Bridges & Breaking Hearts" off of my new EP, Hot Tears. I think it's a great example of the vibe I'm setting with my music these days. It's got that classic 60s feel and hints at James Bond themes while still setting it's own tone. The lyrics are both vulnerable and empowering which are oppositions that I love to play around with in my song writing.
