I dunno how this got released without me knowing about it until just now, but whoaaa Ghost's cover of Phantom Of The Opera is everything I'd hoped it would be! The guitar and bass at the beginning are absolutely gorgeous. This entire cover is very bass driven, which is something a little out of the ordinary for Ghost, but I'm all about it. The guitar solo in the middle is wonderful. This song is very instruments heavy and less about the vocals, which I thought was interesting. Though what words we did get had a few lyric changes and that paired with the visuals just point even more towards us losing the current incarnation of Papa soon. I mean it's overdue with how the cycle goes, but I'm still sad about it. This cover is just amazing though and I can't wait to hear the rest of Phantomime! It comes out in just 2 more days!

But what makes TikTok different from other social media platforms, and link why should watch lovers care? Every time I mention TikTok to 99% of the watch community, I feel a burgeoning sense of hostility begin to form. As if an angry retort is being formulated with every single syllable that comes out link of my mouth. As if I had committed some sort of unforgivable link watch crime and sullied the sanctimony of watch collecting by even bringing up such an untoward topic.
At the watch fair in Basel, Switzerland, in 1962, Rado successfully link introduced the world to the first scratch-proof watch, presenting itself as a brand unafraid to take stylistic risks link in favor of bold, forward-thinking design: the DiaStar. With its fascinating oblong case crafted link out of a proprietary tungsten carbide "Hardmetal" alloy that was both diamond-tough and lustrous, Rado leaned into the Space Age style that gripped the world of design throughout the early 60s.
Love October Noir!
