MUSIC: 4/16/18 One Night by Mura Masa Ft. Charli XCX 💚

By -
Yuhhh I heard this song from a playlist on spotify and it has MADE it onto the Banger's playlist. It is a true bop. Mura Masa for those of you who don't know is essentially notorious from starting from no where and making it to the top. I think he got featured on some famous YouTube channel and now yeah he works with Desiigner and Charli XCX to make some true bops.

Anyway, I suppose here's a quick review of it. I do love the unique beat I've never heard a pop song feature the freaking xylophone (or is it marimba? idk lol). But I found it super interesting. And probably my favorite part is that during the verses after the chorus after the beat drops, where the song has kind of calmed down, Musa integrates this harp EXTREMELY WELL. Ahhhh I melt everytime I hear the harp it is really good.

Also, as for the use of Charli XCX...WOW. Yeah so I only knew of her when she was in Iggy Azalea's Fancy, but hearing hear int his song...Musa definitely made the right decision. While I'm pretty sure this effect was added post-recording, there's like this autotune electronic vibe to her lyrics that really make the song stand out.

Hmm not much more to say about the song. Need to get better at this. But yeah the marimba is bangin and Charli XCX has really good vocals.

Rating: 4 out of 5

My first author interview posted on this blog (can you believe it?)! Today's author interview features bestselling author of Ungifted, The Hypnotist, Schooled, and Masterminds  Gordon Korman! I asked him a couple questions about his books, and writing in general,which he gratefully responded to. Q1-  What was your inspiration for writing these amazing stories? For example, how does one simply think to write about an ungifted kid going to a gifted school? A1-    My story ideas just come to me. I don’t want to question it too much, because I would hate to have it stop happening! But really, most authors don’t require what you call “inspiration.” We write because we have something to say. That’s just about all it takes to start us scribbling. Q2-  I feel like you’ve been asked this a million times, but your strategy for avoiding writer’s block? A2- Can you believe it? I’ve never had writer’s block. I think my reason is that I plan my story thorough...

OMG ITS A SPY SCHOOL- FUNJUNGLE CROSSOVER FANFIC *preview edition*

By -
 Merry Christmas to all! Sure it's still two days before but who says we can't celebrate early. As a surprise I'm in the process of writing a Spy School-FunJungle crossover snazzapalooza fanfic! Here is a little preview which I know you'll enjoy.... “Are you sure this is December?” Warren yelled from the back. Chip went and wacked him on the head with a newspaper as if he were an annoying fly buzzing around you. “It’s Texas you moron, it isn’t like DC! Instead of snow and hot chocolate they have sandy beaches and lemonade year round” You couldn’t blame Warren though; we flew over sunny lands grassy patches when just a couple hours ago we were fighting through a biting wind and treading through a snow just to board the plane.   We were trying our best to get along because after the whole stop-SPYDER-from-blowing-up-New-York fiasco the academy figured we were ready for some field work (who knows what they were thinking with Warren). The agency had gotten ...
