Join hosts Eva Crowe and DJ Blokzyl as they dive into the vibrant Creative Coffee Cafe community in this week's episode of Inks and Lattes. They kick things off by spotlighting an upcoming release from CCC member Jay Hudson. His new book, "Vows I Wrote but Never Got to Say," a poignant collection of poems about marriage and loss, is now available for pre-sale on Amazon and set to release on October 20, 2024. This heartfelt collection delves into the forgotten vows left behind from a broken engagement, weaving through moments of love, loss, and longing.

Eva and DJ also highlight some fantastic offerings from community members, including Aster's Mystic Bedhead's charming tiny art pieces available on Ko-Fi, and Luna Wolf Wyoming Designs' stunning tumblers and mugs. Special mention goes to the exclusive Dripping Creativity tumbler, with 15% of sales supporting the Creative Coffee Cafe.

The episode then dives into an engaging discussion on "One Hit Wonders." Eva and DJ explore the phenomenon of artists who achieve massive success with a single song, only to fade from the spotlight. They reminisce about iconic one-hit wonders like Warrant's "Cherry Pie," Semisonic's "Closing Time," and Lou Bega's "Mambo No. 5," discussing the cultural impact and lasting legacy of these memorable tracks. They also delve into bands that are often mislabeled as one-hit wonders, such as Yellowcard and Jimmy Eat World, who have extensive catalogs of great music beyond their most famous hits.

As always, they wrap up with their weekly picks. DJ highlights AWOLNATION, known for their viral hit "Sail," but with a catalog full of energetic and driving tracks. Eva chooses Yellowcard, celebrating their unique sound and the lasting appeal of their music beyond the hit "Ocean Avenue."

Join hosts Eva Crowe and DJ Blokzyl as they dive into the vibrant Creative Coffee Cafe community in this week's episode of Inks and Lattes. They kick things off by spotlighting the latest anthology release, "That Which Whispers," featuring a gripping tale by cafe member Drea Laj. Set in the mystical Pacific Northwest, this collection of 13 witchy stories promises to enchant and enthrall. Don’t miss Drea's story, "Home of the Abyss," where a forest witch wrestles with a vision of apocalyptic doom and the fate of a young girl.

Eva and DJ also highlight some fantastic offerings from community members, including Aster's Tiny Art, available on Ko-Fi, and Luna Wolf Wyoming Designs' stunning tumblers and mugs. Special mention goes to the exclusive Dripping Creativity tumbler, with 15% of sales supporting the Creative Coffee Cafe.

The episode then dives into an intriguing discussion on the "Devolution of CGI." Eva and DJ reminisce about the early days of CGI in films like Jurassic Park and Terminator, contrasting them with today's over-reliance on often subpar digital effects. They explore how CGI has shifted from a tool to enhance storytelling to a crutch that sometimes undermines the cinematic experience. From lazy post-production fixes to ignoring the laws of physics, they dissect why modern CGI often feels less impressive despite technological advancements.

As always, they wrap up with their weekly picks. DJ revisits "The Matrix Reloaded," praising its innovative scenes while critiquing its over-the-top CGI moments. Eva, on the other hand, brings up the infamous movie adaptation of "Cats," lamenting its poor CGI execution despite a stellar cast and beloved musical score.
