I HEART MOOSIQ interview : LOSTBOYCROW
–interviewed by Nick
LA-based electropop artist Lostboycrow, who is currently out on his nationwide Spin The Globe tour with Prelow and DYSN, was kind enough to take some time out to chat with us about his music. We are, after all, huge fans of the musician and are immensely proud to have premiered some of his music in the past.
Lostboycrow recently completed his Traveler trilogy by releasing the final EP in the series – Traveler: The Third Legend. OC Weekly has dubbed Lostboycrow a "poetic voice of the youth."
Listen to the full EP above.
IHM:
You became Lostboycrow when you moved to LA. Did the alias stem from a sense of feeling loss in the madness of LA?
Lostboycrow: I think subconsciously it did. I wrapped myself in new people and names that seemed like they had always been a part of me. It was a comforting sense of disorientation. Similar to feel at home on the road.
You've basically released Trilogy with all your Traveler EPs. Maybe it's my own bias but all the song titles feel like they can be book titles. Was your intention to release Traveler in 3 parts?
Lostboycrow: There had been a few songs recorded prior to the discussion of the three part album, but ever since traveler the album was conceptualized, it was always three.
How powerful are titles for you? I cant help but connect Lost-Boy-Crow all with the word Traveler.
Lostboycrow:
Titles are probably the most powerful to me. I often think of my titles first and work backwards because they can inspire an entire song. Entire worlds of imagination. Which is why I believe them to be so inviting – for me as a writer but even more so for all of us listeners.
If you could create the soundtrack to any movie what would it be?
I think I just want to remake the Newsies – but honestly there are many stories that have yet to be told on screen and I'd love to be a part of them. We shall see what happens.
You've toured with various artists. Are you the type of person who needs solitude while touring or do you prefer being surrounded by others?
It's a bit of both. I think I need my quiet moments and routines to maintain sanity and health. But the road feels like such a home because I am surrounded by the ones I call family. Wouldn't trade that.
What are some typical routines for you as you tour? Do you explore the city or is it monotonous as driving into the city, soundcheck, eat, perform, then onto the next one?
It can be very routine. Perhaps monotonous to some but again, there are so many variables on the road and life in general that I'm very ok with that. It makes it easier once you're in the swing of things. However I'm a traveler and I love to see people and places and touch the earth everywhere we go. The rest All kind of depends on the routing.
Since this is the final segment of the trilogy, and you'll be 'traveling' to tour it, how do you feel about the journey of this Traveler arc in your career? Is there a cathartic release like with 'Sigh for Me'? Do you feel like a Phoenix has rises from these beautiful ashes?
It's a beautiful arc. I feel like it's really the first installment of Lostboycrow and everything has been leading up to this album. Everything after this album will be palpably different and exist intentionally on many different planets. It's an interesting crux.
It may be too forward thinking but What kind of artistic path or evolution do you see yourself taking on next?
I'm two albums ahead. I can't wait to finish up what I've started and share the stories that are dying to get out.
The tour ends on 4.20 in Santa Ana. Do you have plans on celebrating the tour by enjoying the sights and sounds of Coachella?
No plans for Coachella. Not really a big festival guy and I always love to travel on my own terms after a tour as well (: I'm going to finish up the next album and get lost with people I love.

Brooklyn musician Matthew Kaz crafts exquisite soundscapes as Katmaz, and he's just released a phenomenal new single named Don't Change. The songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist likes to take a "visual" approach to music which results in a cinematic grandeur that reminds me of SOHN. Don't Change is a dark brooding yet emotive stirring piece and a dazzling example of Katmaz's ability to mix electronic and analog elements. Over this atmospheric bed of finely layered instrumentals and intricate production are Katmaz's introspective vocals, equally entrancing as they are affecting. Katmaz says of Don't Change: "This song is a reminder that change can bring happiness and no one should have to put up with any type of abuse in their lives." It's a more than pertinent reminder at a time when we're coming to realize how many have stayed quiet and suffered through abuse in fear of change or judgement. Katmaz is currently focused on recording his next EP. We'll be looking out for further news. Don't Change can also be streamed via Spotify, here.

I just mentioned earlier tonight when I shared new Years & Years that this strange thing always happens to me when I start to constantly wonder what a certain artist or band has been up to after a prolonged silence. Within days or a week, new music surfaces! Well, the very same just happened with English producer and musician Jon Hopkins, too. I was musing over the exceptional composer's absence this past week, and now he's announced his first album in five long years as well as shared its lead single via a fantastical animated video. While some of my favorite Jon Hopkin tracks of yore have been very orchestral, atmospheric, and cinematic, it's obvious the producer has opted for a different timbre on Emerald Rush, one no less scintillating and affecting but more heavily driven by pulsing beats and urgent rhythms. New album Singularity, whose brilliant name leaves me wondering about the profound themes Jon Hopkins might be weaving into his new music, arrives May 4th on Domino. Stream/purchase the full length version of Emerald Rush, here. Pre-order Singularity digitally, here.

Something Wanton This Way Comes
Ever since the runaway success of Fifty Shades of Grey, reading glasses the world over have been fogging up with heavy breathing. Publishers, having taken the pulse of this phenomenon and found it throbbing, are now trolling through their backlists, looking for something salacious to satisfy the public's new appetite for literary erotica.
Lacking fresh product to satisfy growing demand, book marketers are now desperate to put new lipstick on old tarts. A major search portal and a men's magazine are rumored to have joined forces, and are buying up the rights to hundreds of literary classics. After tweaking the titles, a small army of hacks will then refurbish the story lines with just enough romance and raunchy sex to make readers come back for more.

The photographs are based on a ready-made object taken from a record sent by NASA into space in 1977, which includes visual materials and audio files supposedly representing human civilization, in case an alien intelligence comes across it. The photographs consist of images in which a decoding failure has occurred, undermining the notion that anything can be represented by an image. The original images are also detached from their context, losing their ability to create the desired meaning. The photographs seek to provoke reflection regarding the human reliance on the sense of sight at a time when the media is becoming more and more visual.

The video is based on a ready-made object taken from a record sent by NASA into space in 1977, which includes visual materials and audio files supposedly representing human civilization, in case an alien intelligence comes across it. The video The Golden Record is composed of all the images and sounds sent into space, layered and intertwined together. The work is an attempt to subvert the foundations of the archive, exploring it from a different perspective and creating new connections. The attempt itself creates endless meanings and multiple truths.
"Words From Carl Sagan, 2013, Single channel video, Duration 1:30 min"
The video 'Words from Carl Sagan' presents a personal message from Dr. Carl Sagan, the representative of the culture that created the record sent to space. The Dr. Carl Sagan video archive is edited in a way that makes him confess to the project's failure and explain the inherent inability of the image to represent reality. The result brings to mind the importance of the scientist in Western society and the positioning of science as a religion that offers absolute truth.

Personalities | John Mayall's Bluesbreakers | Sixties | Jazz & Blues
(Vocal/instrumental group, 1963–present)
Talented bandleader John Mayall (vocals, piano, organ, harmonica), born in Macclesfield, Cheshire in 1933, is largely responsible for igniting the popularity of British blues as well as the careers of famed guitarists Eric Clapton, Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac) and Mick Taylor (the Rolling Stones). Mayall's 1966 debut album Blues Breakers, using Chicago blues as a model, established the reputation of Clapton and also featured John McVie (bass) and Hughie Flint (drums). The album reached number six on the UK charts. Powerfully realized, it remains the seminal British electric blues album and began a streak of Bluesbreakers classics, including A Hard Road (with Green, 1967) and Crusade (with Taylor, 1967).
Mayall began a parallel solo career with the underrated The Blues Alone (1968) that peaked the next year, following his relocation to California with The Turning Point and its FM-radio staple 'Room To Move'. Mayall continues to perform with a version of his Bluesbreakers and remains one of the few white blues performers whose songwriting equals that of his heroes Muddy Waters and J.B. Lenoir.

Meek Mill's petition to have a new judge hear his case has been yet again denied. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court announced a split 3-3 decision on Tuesday on whether Judge Genece Brinkley should oversee Meek's post-conviction appeal on June 18, The Legal Intelligencer reports.
Mill's request was the second direct appeal he's filed in the last three months. While the first request went through, with the high court ruling that the Philadelphia native be released right away on bail, the justices ordered on Tuesday that the court was evenly split regarding Brinkley presiding over Meek's appeal.
While Chief Justice Thomas G. Saylor and Justices Sallie Mundy and David Wecht rejected Mill's petition, Justice Max Baer delivered a dissenting opinion, and announced he would have allowed Mill's request.
Baer said, "I believe Judge Genece Brinkley should have disqualified herself," per The Legal Intelligencer. Justices Debra Todd and Christine Donohue agreed with Baer's statement. Meek's legal team was requesting that the case be passed to Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas President Judge Sheila Woods-Skipper.
Meek's June 18 appeal focuses on the credibility of Philadelphia policeman Reginald Graham, who was the only witness to testify at the rapper's trial in 2008. According to The Legal Intelligencer, a handful of lawyers have revealed that around 250 to 300 post-conviction appeals have been filed over the last few months regarding validity of Graham's testimony, and a majority of those appeals have been transferred to Woods-Skipper.
In mid-May, Brinkley went against legal precedent by declining the Philadelphia District Attorney's request to overturn Meek's drug- and weapons-related conviction and grant him a new trial and ordering an evidentiary hearing on June 18. In December 2017, social justice organizations also accused Judge Brinkley of "inappropriate and unethical conduct" that included failing to disclose financial information required by state law.
The rapper has continually had issues with Brinkley since the beginning, and has accused her of inappropriate behavior such as asking him to record a Boys II Men cover for her and having an "unusual" interest in his management team. Brinkley, however, has steadily refuted those claims.

Executive Suite Reviews
Drama, Comedy
When the hard-charging president of the third-largest furniture maker in the U.S. dies suddenly at the end of a business week, it sets off a scramble among the surviving vice presidents to see which of them will succeed him.
A spectacular array of MGM superstars shine in this slick fascinating drama of corporate intrigue. The death of the president of a gigantic furniture firm prompts a series of power plays among the company's executives, all vying for the vacated top position. The jockeying vice presidents are Loren Phineas Shaw (March), Josiah Walter Dudley (Douglas), Frederick Y. Alderson (Pidgeon), George Nyle Caswell (Calhern), and a junior executive, McDonald Walling (Holden). Surveying the candidates is Julia O. Tredway (Stanwyck), the daughter of the manufacturing firm's founder and the mistress of the recently deceased company head. As the chief stockholder as well, her decision will tip the scales. Director Wise intercuts among the many characters but this strategy actually serves to unify the story and action rather than fragmenting the tale. The drama unfolds from a sparkling, witty, and provocative screenplay by Ernest Lehman adapted from the Cameron Hawley novel. Holden, March, Douglas, Stanwyck, Calhern, Jagger, Foch and Pidgeon are riveting in their parts, even though some, like Stanwyck, are only on camera occasionally. Holden, still building a great career, was reunited with Stanwyck on screen for the first time in 15 years--their last previous work together was in GOLDEN BOY. Critics universally and correctly singled out March as the most impressive performer in the awesome cast. His obsessive villain hasn't a single virtue, only the relentless drive to win at all costs while mouthing the predictable rationale that he is merely practicing "good business." Foch, as the suicidal secretary to the deceased boss, gained an Oscar nomination as Best Supporting Actress. This was one of the first major films to eschew a continuous musical score; producer Houseman elected to incorporate the sounds of the business world throughout such as when the bells of a Wall Street clock are heard while the cast names roll up on the screen.

Q: Closing a connect server I see plenty of examples of how to create a server with Connect, but how do I close it gracefully without ctrl + c?
My use case is to spin up a lightweight connect server for testing/mocking purposes.

A: Connect uses Node's build in HTTP library, so you can just call server.close():
http://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_server_close_callback. You can also just exit the app with process.exit(0); to return to the shell that started your app.
keep in mind http.close() just stops accepting new connections, depending on how your app is structured it still may not exit. Existing connections will be serviced until they close themselves.
Here's an example that uses Connect and http intermingled:
var connect = require('connect')
   , http = require('http');

var app = connect()
   .use(connect.favicon())
   .use(connect.logger('dev'))
   .use(connect.static('public'))
   .use(connect.directory('public'))
   .use(connect.cookieParser())
   .use(connect.session({ secret: 'my secret here' }))
   .use(function(req, res){
      res.write('Hello from Connect!\n');
      res.end();
      //stop accepting new connections:
      srv.close();
      //exit the app too:
      process.exit(0);

});

var srv =  http.createServer(app).listen(3000);

A: I just realized instead of writing the server this way:
var app = connect()
.use(function(req, res, next){
    res.end('hello world')
})
.listen(3000);

I can create the server this way:
var app = connect()
.use(function(req, res, next){
    res.end('hello world')
});
var server = http.createServer(app).listen(3000, done);

Thus, allowing me to use server.close();

Home 2008 N.C. State Fair Q&A: Statue Viva's Michelle Harrell
Q&A: Statue Viva's Michelle Harrell
Cotton Candy August 13 May 10 2008 N.C. State Fair
No, an ancient statue from the N.C. Museum of Art didn't escape and make its way across Blue Ridge Road to the fairgrounds–that's just Michelle Harrell, creator and performer in the Fair's Statue Viva entertainment and resident 'Poddle Mama' for the new Michelle's Magical Poodles show. You can find her roaming all around the fairgrounds posing as famous statues from around the world and in the Kiddieland Fun Park everyday during the Fair at 2 and 4 p.m.
How did you first get started?
I was inspired by a Swiss man in Key West, Florida. I saw him create a kind of magic with his performance and I knew I wanted to try this. He encouraged me to continue onto Europe and street perform. I then met my performing partner Bruno Mignard, and we performed together for six years in Europe and the U.S. He had been performing all his life and one of his shows happened to be a Living Statue as well. Bruno returned to Europe about seven years ago and I've continued successfully as a solo act. I got a lot of inspiration from him and we're still friends. He asked me to go have a piece of that sweet potato pie for him this year after finding out I was returning to the NC. State Fair.
What's your history with the N.C. State Fair?
The N.C. State Fair was the very first fair to take an interest in my then duo act, Les Statues Vivantes. No one in the fair industry had even heard of a couple of living statues such as us. But, the N.C. State Fair took a chance on us and gave us our break. It opened up a huge door for me into the Fair business and I am forever grateful for that.
What can fair visitors expect at your shows?
My now-solo living statue act is called "StatueViva," which I describe as art coming to life. I think a living statue is a real surprise for fair goers and it catches them off guard. My other show is a classic dog trick show with my four beautiful poodle babies. I like to get the audience involved and invite kids to the stage to participate. People are dog-crazy and I get so many dog fans and lots of dog stories before and after the show. I love that!
Your favorite Fair memory?
During the first N.C. State Fair I ever came to, my then-partner and I were performing in front of the Apex Lions Club booth. They have a guy who sits out front with a microphone and talks about the food. He would especially draw out the description of the sweet potato pie in his great Southern accent and Bruno, being French, had never even heard of the pie. So, after a performance one day, he went into the Apex Lions Club booth, still dressed like a Statue, and asked if he could have some of that sweet potato pie. He was trying to imitate a southern accent which was very funny for a French man and this got a big laugh from everyone in there.
We're excited about your new Magical Poodles show this year. Do your poodles each have their own personalities?
I first fell in love with poodles when Bruno's mother had a trick poodle show. The first time I saw all five of her poodles come running out of her house, I was hooked. Finding each poodle was very special and I always like to say that they found me. I'm convinced they were all meant to be performers, like me. Oh, I could go on and on about this subject. They are all so different. Cupid is the clown; Pirouette is the baby (only, not the youngest!); Emilio is the show off; and Blondie, as the only girl, is the boss. I like to play up their personalities with the tricks I choose for them to perform.
What's your summer schedule like?
I am so thankful to be extremely busy. The doggies and I have already been in New York, Iowa, Wisconsin, and now we're currently in Virginia. We still have Tennessee and New Mexico to visit, then onto N.C. for most of October. We're covering lots of ground!
What's on your iPod/CD player right now?
Dave Mathews, Cold Play and Little Big Town.
Favorite food at the Fair?
Plain biscuit from the Apex Lions Club.
Favorite/most unique place you've performed across the world?
Copenhagen, Denmark is such a beautiful and culturally diverse city.

UPDATED: PM says Jamaica's security strategy working well
Published:Monday | June 17, 2019 | 3:27 PM
Prime Minister Andrew Holness consults with Foreign Affairs Minister Kamina Johnson Smith during the official opening of the 8th biennial Jamaican Diaspora Conference at the Pegasus Hotel in New Kingston last night.
Prime Minister Andrew Holness says the government's Plan Secure Jamaica strategy has been effective.
Holness told members of the Jamaican Diaspora last night that Plan Secure Jamaica "is working very well".
He said that the plan not only focuses on crime but also on securing the country's banks, ports, telecommunications, tourism, new logistics operations, the business process outsourcing (BPO) sector, among other areas.
"We… have to be able to secure ourselves, not just from the conventional threats, but from the new and emerging threats, for example, in the cyber domain," the prime minister said during the official opening of the 8th biennial Jamaican Diaspora Conference at the Pegasus Hotel in New Kingston last night.
Holness previously disclosed that the government had been working with Israel on a cyber crimes strategy.
Colonel Roderick Williams of the Jamaica Defence Force was assigned on January 1 to coordinate the strategies of Plan Secure Jamaica.
The prime minister assured the large gathering of Jamaicans who reside overseas that the government is serious about addressing the country's crime problem.
Holness reminded the Jamaican Diaspora that the government is spending $20 billion on crime this year, the biggest allocation that has ever been made.
*This story has been updated to more accurately describe the Plan Secure Jamaica strategy.

Revisiting the Phoenix Lights
Category: Astronomy

On this particular Thursday, something was moving quietly through the ionosphere many miles above the surface of the planet; several somethings in fact, several dozen huge yellow chunky slablike somethings, huge as office buildings, silent as birds.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams
In March of 1997, the Hale-Bopp comet made its closest pass by Earth and was visible to the naked eye for most of the month. It was an expected and brilliant astronomical phenomenon, one that won't be seen again for another 3,000 years. Many amateur astronomers, and regular folks with telescopes, were eagerly scanning the skies hoping to catch a glimpse after the sun set.
But on one particular Thursday, March 13, 1997 to be exact, something else was spotted in the night sky above Phoenix, Arizona. Not by one or two folks, but by hundreds of witnesses, some with video cameras. Just around 10 PM, about nine bright orbs of light appeared in a "V"-shaped formation above the mountains south of Phoenix, hovered for a while, and then disappeared southward. This was only one of an amazing collection of sightings that progressed throughout the evening, from Las Vegas, Nevada to Tucson, Arizona.
Local TV stations, authorities and air force bases were deluged with calls from all over the valley as people called panicked by what they had seen. When the TV stations aired the amateur video of the orbs, more calls came in -- not just because of that incredible sighting, but because of sightings made earlier in the evening, all over Arizona. Once seen on the air, the phenomenon was given a name, The Phoenix Lights. It would become one of the largest recorded sightings in American UFO history, garnering even international coverage and investigation.
At approximately 7:55 PM Arizona time, a gentleman from Henderson, NV, called in the first sighting, reporting that he observed what he described as a "Vshaped" formation of six bright blue and yellowish-white orbs leaving the area around Las Vegas, NV, making its way over the border into Arizona. As the object passed overhead he said it was very quiet, making a sound like that of a "rushing wind".
A former police officer from Paulden, AZ reported the second sighting. He left his home at about 8:15 PM, and as he was driving, he spotted a cluster of four reddishorange lights with a fifth light trailing the other four. There were other sightings around the Prescott area at about 8:15 PM.
Between 8:30 and 8:45 PM were the Phoenix sightings. Probably the most interesting involves a truck driver who was hauling cement from Glendale who noticed a bright object in the sky. When he pulled his truck over to take a better look, he saw two aircraft fly from Luke Air Force Base to approach the strange object, which then vanished. There were other accounts of military aircraft tracking the objects all the way to Tucson. Luke A.F.B. denies that they tracked anything that evening, and that in fact the base is purely a training facility and its aircraft would never have been called for such a purpose.
One group of witnesses reported that they saw a huge "wedge-shaped" craft with five lights on its surface. Another group of witnesses saw an object "shaped somewhat like a sergeant's stripes" come over Camelback Mountain near downtown Phoenix. It apparently stopped directly above them, at the intersection of 7th Avenue and Indian School Road, where it hovered for about 5 minutes. It stayed so steady that they reported they could see panels on a definite surface that blocked a large portion of the sky above them.
The object then flew to the area around Sky Harbor Airport, between Phoenix and Tempe, where two air traffic controllers in their tower, and several pilots on the ground and on approach, observed it as well, saying they saw absolutely nothing on their radar. Other sightings were made in the same time period in Scottsdale, Glendale, and Gilbert.
This was either one fast, large object, or there were perhaps a few on parallel paths. Some reports seem to conflict, but the sightings all agree that the object was swift and enormous. Conservative estimates of the size are on the order of at least three football fields wide. Depending on their proximity to the witnesses, some estimates ranged up to 2 miles wide, based on the city block over which it stretched.
Between 8:45 and 9:00 PM, other sightings were reported by witnesses traveling the stretch of Interstate 10 that runs from Phoenix to Tucson. One family that was driving from Tucson north to Phoenix reported that they could easily see each "wing tip" of the object from either side of their vehicle. As they continued to drive in the opposite direction of the object, they claimed that they were underneath it for roughly two minutes, at a clip of about 80 M.P.H.
Amatuer video footage of the Phoenix Lights as ran by KSAZ Fox 10
So from even the roughest estimates, the formation traveled from Henderson, Nevada to Tucson, Arizona within an hour's time. As the crow flies, that's 354 miles (or 308 nautical miles) in less than an hour. That's one fast crow!
This is just a sampling of the many reports that were received that night, and all of these happened before the lights that appeared over Phoenix that were captured on videotape at about 10 PM. So, with all of these witnesses' reports, and videotaped recordings, has there ever been any explanations offered for what happened?
Whether you believe in UFOs, alien visitations, and conspiracies or not there were a few attempts to prove that the Phoenix Lights either were or were not extraterrestrial in nature. In June, a reporter from NBC affiliate KPNX-TV filmed a drop of flares by military aircraft, above an Air Force range southwest of Phoenix. These flares were caught on video and looked very much like the same mysterious orbs that appeared at 10 PM on March 13th. They declared that they had solved the mystery.
Not long after that story broke, the Maryland Air National Guard, which was training in Arizona for the winter, announced that they had a squad of A-10 fighters that flew over the gunnery range and had dropped those flares. The Arizona National guard determined that those flares were indeed dropped at 10 PM at an altitude of 15,000 feet. Even with this declaration by the military explaining the 10 PM Phoenix Lights caught on video, they also declared that the A-10s did not proceed north of Phoenix and therefore could not have been the formation that was seen in the Phoenix area around 8:30 PM.
Most people are never satisfied by the military's explanations, finding them too convenient and supporting their conspiracy theories. The nature of the government being able to hide some secrets and release others at will only supports their beliefs. However, one group of witnesses took their video of both the "Phoenix Lights" and the "June Flares" to a video lab for analysis. Jim Diletosso's company, Village Labs of Tempe, did the analysis and concluded that not only were the lights in the different videos not the same type of light, but that the Phoenix Lights were not flares, planes, or anything else man-made.
This declaration became much hyped as well; I mean this would become proof of an extraterrestrial presence over Phoenix! Newspapers and television, and even a Discovery channel special about UFOs touted Diletosso's discovery. However, the kind of optical analysis he claimed to have done is comparable to spectral analysis. He explained that a video recorder could capture all the minute details of a source of light, and that his computers could break down and analyze that source, creating a graph.
The path of the Phoenix Lights
However, as the Phoenix New Times very accurately described the physics of how a video camera works, this amount of detail just isn't possible. All Diletosso could do is compare the color histogram, or breakdown of red, green and blue components of the pixels, that make up the picture of the light source. In fact, when the New Times reporter asked Diletosso to reproduce his analysis, he was unable to do so and became defensive and touted scientifically impossible theories.
But we all love scientifically impossible theories, don't we? That's why it's called science fiction, that realm of writing genre that applies the technical jargon and speculative theory about everything to create scenarios that are literally out of this world. So many people want to believe in UFOs, and some people want to discount them. So in the end, there really is still no final say over what appeared over Phoenix five years ago. All that is known is that there was something in the sky that night, and it wasn't just the bright comet Hale-Bopp.
The Hale-Bopp comet and it's curious
"companion" artifact/star

Interestingly enough, I have more to tell about Hale- Bopp. Call it a coincidence, or call it a revelation. Literally. Revelations 8:10-11 describes a rock which would fall from the heavens, named Wormwood (or "bitterness"), after the seven seals were opened, bringing about the destruction of the Earth. Sure, there were lots of millennium prophecies, and based on interpretation they either haven't come true, or just are a prelude to more. But one group of people believed their charismatic leader so much, that Hale- Bopp was a sign of the end of the world, that they all committed suicide.
You know who I'm talking about, right? The Nike-wearing members of the "Heaven's Gate" cult, including their leader, Marshall Applewhite, committed suicide in a rented mansion in San Diego, California. They not only believed that Hale-Bopp was a harbinger of destruction, like Wormwood, but they latched on to a story of an anomalous photograph of Hale-Bopp that showed a "companion" object with the comet. They believed this companion was a spaceship that was coming to take them home. On March 22, 1997, comet Hale-Bopp was the closest it would get to the Earth on its approach to swing around the sun. On March 23, 1997, there was a lunar eclipse, which made viewing Hale-Bopp especially brilliant.
To some, it was a sign. Do you remember, "The moon shall become as black as sack-cloth"? On March 27, 1997, Marshall Applewhite lead 38 members of his "Heaven's Gate" cult to commit suicide. They may have chosen San Diego to commence their exit from this world, but did you know that Applewhite and his cult were based in Phoenix, Arizona? Shocking coincidence to say the least. Did Applewhite believe that the object that visited Phoenix two weeks before was the "companion" ship? We may never know.
By the way, the Hale-Bopp comet got its unusual name from the two men who simultaneously made the discovery of it. Officially named "C/1995 O1", for when it was discovered, in June 1995. Alan Hale, Ph.D., a professional astronomer from New Mexico called in the first discovery. Moments later, Thomas Bopp, an amateur astronomer made the same discovery while at a star-gazing party with friends 90 miles away from the lights of the city; not all that far from the suburb of Phoenix, Arizona that he calls home.
Gotta love coincidences.

Stockholm Syndrome-esque hostage situation all on its own, one that mirrors the relationship they have with their own captors; one that forced Evelyn to stray from her own children as she chose John's perceived love for her over them.
Australian director Ben Young's feature debut Hounds of Love is not simply an exploitation-level abduction horror. It is a disturbing study in the complexities of not only manipulation and abuse, but of motherhood, separation, and what's right for the good of children; of the different forms that being a hostage can take, and the empathy that's required to break free from the cycle.
and one night, while staying there reluctantly for one of the mandatory two nights a week of custody, Vicki ignores her mother's refusal to let her go to a party due to her falling grades. It is this very act of rebellion that lands Vicki into the welcoming hands of Evelyn and John White.
Under the tantalizing promise of drugs, Evelyn and John pick Vicki up while she walks alone at night to the nearest highway in search of a taxi. Though wary at first, it's the image of a child's car seat in the back that ultimately puts Vicki at ease, before she decides to get in and let them take her to their house. And the couple do follow through on their promise to give Vicki drugs when they arrive – it's just that they're in the form of a roofied drink, before dragging Vicki kicking and screaming and chaining her to a bed.
As Evelyn and John's hostage, Vicki begins to glean bits and pieces regarding the shaky foundation that their fierce, fiery romance is built on. The couple have known each other since they were young teens, but Evelyn has two children with another man whom Evelyn is barred from ever seeing (presumably due to her relationship with John). Vicki understands that as violent and unforgiving as Evelyn may be, much of her personality has been carved out by her manipulative relationship with John, who is constantly assuring her he loves her more than anything in the world during her most potent moments of doubt. Yet all John does and continues to do is gaslight and mistreat Evelyn by way of her undying devotion to him, and the cycle starts over again and again. Vicki trying to use that hushed voice in the back of Evelyn's mind that John might actually be horrible for her, before John's claws stick themselves back firmly into Evelyn's aching heart and return her to his grasp.
At the same time are the striking parallels of motherhood running between Evelyn and Maggie; two mothers who made choices for themselves that left their children behind in the lurch. This idea of what denotes a mother who left a relationship for the betterment of not only herself, but of her own child as well. It is clear that Maggie knows her and Vicki's happiness are not separate, but indelibly intertwined. Maggie left Trevor in an act that was both selfish but altruistic as well; being in a relationship that was making her unhappy would ultimately make Vicki unhappy, possibly giving her unhealthy expectations of how a marriage should be. And yes, one could simply say Evelyn did leave her children to be with a serial killer; but more than that, it was an act almost entirely selfish, the type of act Vicki unjustly views her mother as having committed. Evelyn chose to be with a person who put her children in harm's way, and this idea that she can still get them back while still being with him shows that she fundamentally doesn't understand the wrongness of her own actions.
Hounds of Love is not a film for the faint of heart, but it is an affecting portrayal of vicious, toxic love, the effects it has on those its ensnared and the way its prisoners must fight to free themselves of it. There is certainly someone out there for everyone, as Evelyn and John White seemed to prove at the start. But sometimes the only way to survive is to escape them.
