'Summer Booty The Summer Mashup Album' is joined this year by the eternal lockdown (ugh), but you still get 3 discs of incredible new mixes by an impressive selection of International Bootleggers. From the first track that arrived, to the day I recieved over 50 all at once, the quality of content has impressed me throughly.

Everybody brought their top game, & presented excellent results. The vibe of Eternal Summer is interpreted by each contributor, but all is within the theme by any standard.
Contributors include many of the past ones, but that's for the best when you have home producers like rappy, Al Colle, oki, mumdy, & many more. The tunes featured have massively cool pairings like Rick James vs Lynyrd Skynyrd, Deep Purple vs House Of Pain, Frank Sinatra vs First Touch, & Rush vs Charlie Chaplin vs Papa Roach vs Steppenwolf.

Billy Rae Cyrus vs Ariana Grande vs Doja Cat ft. Nicki Minaj.
• Opera singer Matthew Best points out that singers are not good people to be around when you are seeking sympathy because you have a cold. The response of the singer is likely to be, "You have a cold? Get the h*ll out of here!"
• Opera singer Emma Eames worked hard and seldom forgot a word while on the stage. She stated, "If by any chance I forget a word on the stage, I know my health is run down, and I then at once take a rest for several days."
Language
• Singer-songwriters need many talents, including the ability to give good interviews. Of course, as songwriters and singers, they tend to have a facility in creating and presenting language. For example, Charlotte Sometimes made a splash with her 2008 debut album, the pop-with-attitude Waves and the Both of Us. And no wonder - this is a sample lyric: "Do you think of her / Hands on my waist / And do you think of me when she screams your name?" David Medsker of Bullz-eye.com asked her in an interview, "What is the hardest thing about being a woman rocker that people outside the biz would never understand?" Ms. Sometimes replied, "Having PMS. I think I should get those days off!"
• Frances Alda, a soprano, rehearsed before Arturo Toscanini in preparation to play the title role of Charpentier's Louise, a role that required her to sing in Italian. Ms. Alda sang the entire role, while Maestro Toscanini listened in silence. After she had finished, Maestro Toscanini asked in his native Italian, "In what language were you singing?" Of course, Ms. Alda had been singing in Italian, and she became furious and stormed out of the rehearsal, staying in her hotel for the next few days. (Later, Maestro Toscanini worked long hours with Ms. Alda to teach her the proper Italian pronunciation.)
• Colin Hay, front man for the Australian group Men at Work (and currently a solo artist), used to be multilingual: He can speak English with a Scottish accent. And he used to be able to speak English with an Australian accent. He was born and raised in Scotland, but when he was a teenager, his family moved to Australia. Mr. Hays says, "I used to have two accents. There's the Scottish accent I've always had. But I developed an Australian accent just to assimilate. I would talk Australian out on the street, and at home with my parents, I would speak Scottish."
• Even early in his career, Luciano Pavarotti weighed over 300 pounds. Once, just before he was to appear on a TV talk show, he discovered that in order to reach his dressing room, he would have to climb five flights of stairs. He tried to get himself an easier-to-get-to dressing room on the grounds that his coach and accompanist Eugene Kohn - who was quite healthy - was weak and suffering from a bad heart. This obvious ploy failed, and Mr. Pavarotti was forced to climb the stars, cursing in Italian with each step.
• Conditions were tough when Plácido Domingo sang at the small Tel Aviv Opera House. Because of limited rehearsal times and because of frequent substitutions, sometimes the operas were sung in various languages. In one of the performances of La Traviata, by Giuseppe Verdi, the chorus sang in Hebrew, the baritone sang in Hungarian, the soprano sang in German, and Mr. Domingo sang in Italian!
• The American baritone Lawrence Tibbett once played the title role in the opera Don Juan de Mañara, with British baritone Dennis Noble playing Don Juan's illegitimate son, Don José. Mr. Tibbett saw Mr. Noble in a cafe and called out to him, "This is a d*mn fine opera, Denny - I call you a b*stard three times in the first act!"
Written by P. F. Sloan, the best-known version of this protest song was by Barry McGuire, scoring a #1 hit single on the US Billboard Hot 100 in September 1965. What is the title of this song that drew flak from conservatives?
Caledonia is the Latin name given by the Romans to the land north of their province of Britannia, beyond the frontier of their empire, roughly corresponding to modern-day Scotland. However, southern Caledonia, as far north as the Antonine Wall, was part of the Roman Empire for some periods of time (like in the case of the Valentia Province). The etymology of the name is probably from a P-Celtic source. Its modern usage is usually as a romantic or poetic name for all Scotland in general.
The original use of the name, by Tacitus, Ptolemy, Lucan and Pliny the Elder, referred to the area later known as Pictavia or Pictland, mostly in what is now Scotland, to the north of Hadrian's Wall (though the wall is all in today's Northern England). The name may be related to that of a large central Brythonic tribe, the Caledonii, one amongst several in the area and perhaps the dominant tribe, which would explain the binomial Caledonia/Caledonii.

Scotland. Roman influence was confined to areas around Hadrian's Wall. No real effort was made to conquer Caledonia as it had nothing to offer the Empire but rocks and a sparse and irritable population that would on occasion make horrible and frightening noises with bloated animal entrails.

SyFy has the movie 'Law Abiding Citizen', followed by the movie 'The Mummy Returns'.
Chadwick Boseman, Tessa Thompson, Michael B. Jordan, Viola Davis, and Idris Elba are some of the over 300 Black artists and studio executives who have signed an open letter calling on Hollywood to divest from the police and from producing and distributing anti-Black content (via Variety). The open letter was drafted by "Insecure" and "Miss Juneteenth" actor Kendrick Sampson along with Thompson and Black Lives Matter co-founders Patrisse Cullors and Melina Abdullah. Sampson was shot by rubber bullets and hit with a police baton at the end of May while peacefully protesting the death of George Floyd.
"Hollywood has a privilege as a creative industry to imagine and create," the open letter reads. "We have significant influence over culture and politics. We have the ability to use our influence to imagine and create a better world. Yet, historically and currently, Hollywood encourages the epidemic of police violence and culture of anti-Blackness."
The letter states that "the way that Hollywood and mainstream media have contributed to the criminalization of Black people, the misrepresentation of the legal system, and the glorification of police corruption and violence has had dire consequences on Black lives."
The letter calls on Hollywood to "divest from the police and from anti-Black content," while urging the industry to instead invest in "anti-racist content," Black careers, and Black communities.
Several episodes of 30 Rock will be leaving all platforms soon, if they haven't already.
The episodes feature characters in blackface, and at the request of NBCUniversal and creators Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, they are being made unavailable to stream or to buy and will no longer air on TV.
Two of the episodes involve Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski) darkening her skin with makeup. In one episode, season three's "Believe in the Stars," she and Tracy (Tracy Morgan) switch places for a day as an experiment. In season five's "Christmas Attack Zone," Jenna dresses up as Black Pittsburgh Steelers star Lynne Swann while boyfriend Paul (Will Forte) dresses as Natalie Portman in Black Swan.
In season six's live episode "Live From Studio 6H," Jon Hamm did a spoof of Amos N' Andy and appeared in blackface. The east coast version of the season five live show, titled "Live Show," will also be removed, while the west coast version will still be available. No reason has yet been made clear for the removal of the east coast version.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey announced on Tuesday that adult film star Ron Jeremy has been charged with forcibly raping three women and sexually assaulting another in separate incidents dating back to 2014.
Ronald Jeremy Hyatt, 67, was charged in case with three counts each of forcible rape and one count each of forcible oral copulation and sexual battery. The case was filed for warrant yesterday.
If convicted, Jeremy faces a possible maximum sentence of 90 years to life in state prison. He could also be required to register as a sex offender.
The District Attorney's Office also declined a case against Jeremy due to insufficient evidence stemming from an incident in 2016.
Bill Cosby will get the chance to fight his 2018 sexual assault conviction. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to review two aspects of the case the comedian's lawyers challenged on appeal. Cosby, 82, has spent nearly two years behind bars for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in 2004. He was sentenced to three to 10 years in state prison.
Cosby's rep told Yahoo Entertainment they are "extremely thankful" the Supreme Court will look at the "false conviction."
One aspect from Cosby's case the Pennsylvania Supreme Court will examine is the judge's decision to let prosecutors call five other accusers as prior bad act witnesses. The women made allegations of previous uncharged misconduct involving sexual contact and claimed that Cosby sedated them with quaaludes. Cosby's lawyers laid out five issues, including that the women's claims are "unduly prejudicial" and are "not actually probative of the crimes" for which he was on trial.
The Supreme Court will also review Cosby's assertion that he had a deal with a former Montgomery County District Attorney that he'd never be charged in the case. Cosby claims an agreement was reached so he would testify in the trial accuser's civil lawsuit, which was allowed at trial. His lawyers argue that by relying on that agreement, Cosby's constitutional rights against self-incrimination were forfeited and later used against him.
More than half of the member states of the International Criminal Court voiced their support for the institution in a strongly worded statement issued Tuesday in response to the Trump administration's decision to authorize sanctions against court staff.
The 67 nations, including such U.S. allies as Australia, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, said in the joint statement that they were reconfirming "our unwavering support for the Court as an independent and impartial judicial institution."
The participating countries also reiterated their commitment to preserving the court's integrity "undeterred by any measures or threats against the Court, its officials and those cooperating with it."
On June 11, President Donald Trump (R-Failure) authorized economic and travel sanctions against International Criminal Court workers who were investigating troops and intelligence officials from the United States and allied nations, including Israel, for possible war crimes in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
Rather than benefiting the environment, large-scale tree planting may do the opposite, two new studies have found.
One paper says that financial incentives to plant trees can backfire and reduce biodiversity with little impact on carbon emissions.
A separate project found that the amount of carbon that new forests can absorb may be overestimated.
The key message from both papers is that planting trees is not a simple climate solution.
Previous studies have indicated that trees have enormous potential to soak up and store carbon, and many countries have established tree planting campaigns as a key element of their plans to tackle climate change.
A painting by renowned artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo has been compared to the "Monkey Christ" restoration after it was disfigured during cleaning.
The 17th century painting, titled "The Immaculate Conception of Los Venerables", was owned by a private art collector in Valencia, Spain, who reportedly paid $1200 (around £1080) to have the artwork cleaned by a furniture restorer.
However, the owner was horrified to find that the Murillo was returned with the Virgin Mary's face botched and asked for the work to be restored to its original state, only for it to be made even worse on a second attempt.
The picture quickly circulated on social media and drew comparisons to the infamous "Monkey Christ" restoration of 2013, when an elderly parishioner in a Spanish town attempted to restore a fresco of Jesus with similar levels of success.
Steven Spielberg's 1993 movie Jurassic Park was No. 1 for the fourth time in its release history this past weekend as movie theaters tried to have a semblance during the COVID-19 pandemic over what is typically a big moviegoing weekend, Father's Day.
While 2020 fare like Universal/Dreamworks Animation's Trolls World Tour had been leading at a still distressed box office for 9 weekends (with the exception of last weekend when The Invisible Man returned to the top of the chart), catalog titles dominated the majority of this weekend with Universal's Jurassic Park earning $517,6K at 230 sites and the studio's Jaws taking $516,3K at 187 locations. Those respective No. 1 and 2 weekend takes are improvements upon last weekend's Invisible Man at $383K and Trolls World Tour with $275,7K.
Jurassic Park held the No. 1 spot at the box office in its first three weekends of release following its June 11, 1993 opening. There was a 2013 re-issue of the movie and that release over the April 5-7 weekend made $18.6M in 4th place. That reissue contributed $45.3M to the pic's domestic gross of $404.3M.
Here is the weekend box office per industry estimates for June 19-21:
