On a vu #TheCircle, un peu par hasard.

Les moyens techniques de "Bienvenue à Gattaca", le casting d'"Ocean Twelve", l'ambition de "Die Welle"...

Avec au final la profondeur d'un bon épisode de Peppa pig.

C'est dommage. Le sujet était plus que pertinent, mais faute de réussir à creuser correctement au moins un angle, le résultat est brouillon et empêche de réellement prendre au sérieux le message.

#BlackMirror reste la réf.

Good news: The Circle is back! :thecircle:

1) I like #TheCircle. 👍

2) I prefer the British 🇬🇧 and French 🇫🇷 versions to the American 🇺🇸 versions.

3) They introduced an #AI character into the show 😬 but there’s also a contestant who claims to be an expert in AI, so let’s see how that goes. 🤔

4) There’s an ex- #Twitch streamer too 🫤 but she seems ok 🤷

5) They moved the filming location from #Salford 🇬🇧 to somewhere in the US 🇺🇸

Excited to see how the season plays out. 😊

New seasons of some of the best reality TV are about to (or have) drop(ped):

🕵️‍♂️ Hunted (Channel 4) · Contestants pretend to be fugitives and go on the run whilst a team of detectives try to catch them.

🌍 Race Across The World (BBC) · Teams of two race across from point-to-point using any means of transportation other than air travel.

:thecircle: The Circle (Netflix) · Contestants live in different apartments but can group chat + eliminate each other.

I've briefly lurched back into life for my traditionally late contribution to this week's #ThursdayFiveList theme of #TheCircle (songs about circles, the spherical & the round...)

1. Public Service Broadcasting - Gagarin
youtu.be/wY-kAnvOY80
The first man to circle the earth.

2. Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #2 (Laika)
youtu.be/siFsdInZqC0
An oblique reference to Laika, the first, tragic, being (dog) to go into orbit.

3. Robert Forster - The Circle
youtu.be/HLAlaJ171zs
A country tinged tune from the erstwhile Go-Between.

4. New Order - Round & Round

5. Future Of The Left - Notes On Achieving Orbit

Today's these for @neurothing's #ThursdayFiveList theme is... #TheCircle. Let's see what we come around to.

Russian Circles - Gnosis

Yes, they've got circles in their name, but the track also sounds like it matches the theme to me. Not as heavy as some of their outings, but I'm sure you'll enjoy this gorgeous video for 2022's Gnosis, by the impossibly talented Russian Circles. [CW video imagery touches briefly on death, skeletal remains, microsopy imagery of blood, microorganisms, other cool stuff]

Inkubus Sukkubus - Wytches (1994)

There are lots of versions of this extremely witchy pagan goth anthem, but this is my favourite, and the one that best matches my experience of their most powerful performances.

Ulver - Bracelets of Fingers
ulver.bandcamp.com/track/brace
An only marginally gothed up and painfully lovely take on this psychedelic pop classic, originally by The Pretty Things.
It's about masturbation, and there are some extremely amusing (probably AI written) "behind the song" articles that are entirely oblivious to this fact.
CW Vietnam War photography on the album cover art.

David 'Iolo' Watson - Stones
vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php?title
There are plenty of lovely performances of the song with real instruments and vocals, but I'd like you to listen to this CMS Game Blaster arrangement by Herman Miller for the early 90s computer music vibe that inspires huge parts of my approach to electronic music: vgmpf.com/Wiki/images/f/fe/307

Blackmore's Night - The Circle
youtube.com/watch?v=cpx_iTXTgB
Not only does this exactly match the theme name, but I'm also in the audience in this video. Includes some very fun Richie Blackmore guitar virtuosity. And also lutes.

Hello, people!

This time, this #ThursdayFiveList will be... round!
Sometimes, circles are seen as an example of perfection; or confusion, if we are talking about directions.

What it will be asked is: 5 songs about circles. Going around in circles, round-shaped things, being surrounded... the important thing is that is a clear enough reference.

Let's draw #TheCircle

Mine in the next toot.
