Baroness’ Bulletin: Music and Magic Unleashed! #14 Hey there, my rockstars! It's your girl Nora Lumwood back with more exciting news and updates! I hope you're all pumped up because we have a lot going on in our world that's worth getting excited about! Firstly, let's talk RuneScape. Until the 29th of April, RS3 players can grab Jagex and Fanatical’s promotional partnership bundle. This is not just any bundle; it's got Hazbin Hotel Adam vibes written all over it! So why wait? Head to Fanatical’s website now and treat yourself. https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/fanatical-bundle---this-week-in-runescape For those who love their RuneScape merch (and honestly who doesn't?), there are some adorable new plushies by Makeship available at the merch store. The dragon chain and med helm one has already stolen my heart - so cute! https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/april-merch-update---this-week-in-runescape On the Old School front, Jagex has added something for low-level players with Undead Pirates and Elder Chaos Druids at war with each other at the Chaos temple that can be looted. It reminds me of gnomes constantly battling Khazards on the east of Ardougne battlefield – nostalgic much? https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/undead-pirates-colosseum-changes--more?oldschool=1#_ga=2.244523015.360173174.1713213137-2000075533.1713032254 In Clan News: If you thought we were done with promotions on top of the Valentine’s Day one and others still ongoing (see the last Baroness Bulletin for the info)...think again! We have an exciting new promotion featuring our handmade download cards cut to fit in partly transparent plastic trading card covers. These cards feature moon (in Mac Tonight form), sun (with handsome Squidward inspiration), Ghost Nappa Nors Shield variations AND recoloured faces of Felix the cat. Here comes the fun part: share a picture of these beauties on social media as registered members of NNN or as RS3 players especially from NORS clan or allies, and win gold prizes based on which Felix face you find – Gold gets 1m gp, Emerald gets 500k gp, Sapphire bags 250k gp while Ruby scores a cool100k gp. Whether we give them to you personally, make them yourself, or receive them from someone else - if you share the picture it is eligible. If you decide to make your own and share them that would also be cool. Because we value how central our clan is in mine & Jasper’s life along with wanting to make future videos like music video currently under production (and making progress) and many to come easier to follow; You can now access our YouTube page through a Circ hotel shaped gif of Nors thumbnails at the top of the interest section on my Spacehey profile. https://spacehey.com/sk8er_gaius15#profile https://norasnorsnexus.boards.net/ Some Distant Memory News: More time has been added to the music video which is heading into visually accompanying the chorus. The progress is public through my Spacehey blog. Since April began three insightful articles about Reflections album have been published thanks largely to AMW pitching efforts. A massive shout-out to Jrboy305 of Higher Frequency Mag, Hollywood FM Digital, and Streetwave for their stellar reviews! You guys are simply amazing. To read these fantastic pieces, head over to the press section on my Spacehey profile. Now onto some techy stuff - we've got access to drop-down list codes (how cool is that?) and have been using it for picture galleries on my profile. These galleries are filled with stunning photos and artwork related to our band 'Some Distant Memory' and our NORS clan. We're likely going to add more so keep an eye out! Alright folks; now onto the fun part – let’s talk about the song of the day, album of the day, movie of the day & book of the day according to yours truly: Song: "Wouldn’t It Be Good" by Nick Kershaw – a sweet symphony to my ears – an 80s gem that never fails to get me grooving. The synth-driven melody, topped with Kershaw's heartfelt vocals - oh darling, it's pure magic! Album: "It’s Better To Travel" by Swing Out Sister - Oh boy, where do I even begin? This album is like taking a trip down memory lane in a vintage convertible - wind in your hair and not a care in the world. From "Breakout" to "Twilight World", each track is filled with jazzy-pop goodness that makes you want to dance around without abandon. Movie: "Desperately Seeking Susan"- Ah what a classic! It's like an 80s time capsule filled with Madonna at her peak, New York City in all its gritty glamour, and a plot that keeps you guessing until the end. The film does a fantastic job of capturing the spirit of freedom and nonconformity that defined the era. And who could forget those iconic fashion moments? Book: "Less Than Zero" by Brett Easton Ellis - Brett Easton Ellis is known for his biting social commentary and this novel is no exception. A haunting portrayal of youth lost in hedonism and excess - it's dark yet compelling. The narrative might be bleak but it’s so beautifully written that you can’t help but appreciate Ellis' craftsmanship even as your heart breaks for these characters spiraling out of control. As for my current opinion on world affairs? Well... I believe that despite all challenges we face as humanity right now- be it political unrest or environmental issues; what matters most is unity & resilience. Let's not forget love too because after all Love Will Tear Us Apart but also bring us together. And oh before I sign off remember there's always more coming up in ‘Divination’s Destiny’ plus sneak peeks into our music video progress this week (on top of last week’s which is the first half of the transition between the preceding intricate animation sequence and the first chorus sequence). Buckle up folks because things are only going to get more exciting around here! As always stay safe , keep rocking out & remember - WE ARE SOME DISTANT MEMORY!! 🎵 HEADS UP MUSIC LOVERS 🎵 04/19/2024 We are ecstatic to announce our latest creation – an ebook collection of lyrics from our upcoming Tide album!! A lyrical voyage into the heart of New Wave Advant-Garde rock music awaits you... This isn't just a book; it’s an invitation to join us on a musical odyssey filled with passion, dreams, and raw emotion. Get ready for a deep dive into each song’s narrative before even hearing them come alive in their full sonic glory! So turn up your anticipation because every page turned will be like strumming guitar strings leading up to the grand crescendo to follow the current grand crescendo (the J.A.S. Music video and part 2 of Reflections) - The release of Some Distant Memory's 'Tide' album!! Stay tuned for more updates as we continue crafting our current and next magnum opus...just for YOU! Get it here.

Famous Quote

“Seeing with the mind is considered basic. It is due to seeing from the mind that the eyes are also effective; therefore seeing with the eyes is subordinate to seeing with the mind. Next after that is to see with your body feet, and hands. Seeing with your body, feet, and hands means that you don't let your body, feet, or hands miss the inscrutable sword of an adversary. Seeing with the mind is for the purpose of seeing with the eyes. Seeing with the eyes means aiming your feet and hands at the location of an adversary's inscrutable sword.” Seeing the Quiescent Sword: Distinctions of Three Levels - Yagyu Munenori

As flowers bloom beneath spring suns, Nora's kindness touches everyone. Walk hand-in-hand through life's great dance; Embrace compassion; give love a chance. Happiness spreads like ripples on a pond; A single act can forge an unbreakable bond. Through acts of kindness - both big and small - Eternal joy awaits us all! From dawn to dusk we laugh and sing; To every soul our hearts do cling. For Nora brings us boundless cheer, And fills our lives with warmth so dear!
