You may or may not have already heard about this news, but I'm soooo excited about this news I just had to post about it up on here,-but I've been so ill recently with the flu on top of dealing with a Deep Vein Thrombosis that it has taken until now for me to blog about this-, anyhew Alex Davies and Ed Minton from Elliott Minor have gotten together to create The Fever, The Focus and have launched a PledgeMusic campaign to launch their new 2016 mini album!
Here is the link to their PledgeMusic page where you can sign up to buy anything and all manner of cool things from this new mini-album of theirs,- which as I am a massive fan of Elliott Minor for ages ever since I first heard "Parallel Worlds", and as soon as I first heard this very exciting news I of course ran over to PledgeMusic's website as quickly as possible and signed myself up to get my hands on this new mini-album of theirs as well as a download of their NEW! demo format version of "Hurricane"-, tickets for their secret launch party show which is on the 5th March at the London Garage (on the PledgeMusic page tickets for this show can ONLY be purchased through PledgeMusic), to even Alex and Ed coming round to your home with acoustic instruments for "...for an evening of music for you and your friends and family..." And even more but your just going to have to see for yourselves just what you could get your hands on!

In exchange for all of us the fans pledging to buy any of these items you'll get to have access to behind-the-scenes recording updates, video clips and many more updates...you could even if you follow them on Facebook be able to see much more updates!
If you unlike me you haven't heard The Fever, The Focus's demo version of "Hurricane" here is the link to their Soundcloud page where you can have a little listen and see what you think of it or if you want to download this or their cover of The Weekend's "I Can't Feel My Face" then I'm afraid you'll have to have pre-ordered this or sign in to PledgeMusic to access this content on their PledgeMusic page.

And if your anything like me you'll probably already have downloaded the demo version of "Hurricane", so I think it is fair to say that this has a feel of Pop Rock about it, so I can't wait to hear what the rest of this new mini-album sounds like when it comes out on the 30th April.

Fast and Furious 8 Has Finally Found A Director
You may or may have not have heard through the internet, various websites or through Vin Diesel's own Facebook page but if you haven't heard then here it is: There will be a Fast and Furious 8 and it will be located in New York, but there hasn't been a decision made on who will direct this...as Vin Diesel said himself on his own Facebook page:
"My producing partner Neal (Moritz) would love for me to just sign off on a director, but this is too special a franchise, so these matters have to be very carefully handled. To be clear, NO ONE has been offered to helm Fast 8...let alone seen a script".
But today it looks like the search for a director is now over:
And possibly a trilogy might be on the way, also as according to Vin Diesel's own Facebook page:
"Universal has been so good to me and so trusting of the vision...they have been like family...I promised the studio and I promised I would deliver one last Trilogy to end the saga. I will announce the directors on my next post".
And sure enough this picture pops up:
So this looks like to me that a director has been chosen out of all the names that were thrown into the hat such as Louis Leterrier who has directed "Transporter 2", "The Incredible Hulk", "Clash Of The Titans" and "Now You See Me",- (this film in case your wondering was the film that starred Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Woody Harelsson all have their own magic tricks but all of them are mysteriously contacted and put together to form "the four horseman", and during one of their performances they pull off a heist showing the audience that they have seemingly at random chosen a man out of the audience and that he has been transported to France and into the bank vault of one of France's biggest banks and then they disappear, this leads to Interpol sending someone from France to get the money back but also the FBI send in Mark Ruffalo to arrest the team all the time having Morgan Freeman playing a character called Thaddeus Bradley wanting to find out the secrets of these magicians as that's his job as he makes money doing this, but by the end of the movie there's the ingenious twist that Mark Ruffalo put all these magicians together and has each given this "the four horsemen" the opportunity to be invited into "The Magician's Circle")-...
And that Deadline Hollywood.com's website through The Hollywood Reporter's suggestions of William Eubank (he has directed "The Signal") and Adam Wingard (he has directed "You're Next" and "The Guest") maybe also directing this next film in the franchise were all wrong and that the honour of directing this next Fast and Furious film has gone to by the looks of this picture F. Gary Grey who has just directed "Straight Outta Compton" for Universal Studios, "The Italian Job" (the Marky Mark remake with Charliz Theron) and "A Man Apart" that also starred the man of this very same Fast and Furious franchise Vin Diesel all the way back in 2003 has been chosen for this role of director.
And by this link to F. Gary Grey's Twitter page, we the fans like myself of this movie franchise now know the date for the next film in this series:
http://twitter.com/FGaryGray/status/652181877587992576/photo/1
But this date as well as this news about the director could all change.
But with Vin Diesel saying in his last post on his Facebook page saying:
"...but this is too special a franchise, so these matters have to be very carefully handled. Universal has been so good to me so trusting of the vision...they have been like family. I promised the studio I would deliver one last trilogy to end the saga. I will announce the directors on my next post..."
Empire Magazine's website seem to think that this might be suggesting that there will be possibly more than one director at the helm for this next Fast and Furious film...interesting theory...very interesting I'd say, I guess we'll have to wait and see if this theory is just that a theory or there really will be more than one director at the helm of this film.

Ssh! One Style Secret To Keep Under Your Hat: How To Dr. Frankenstein Your Tired, Worn Out Looking Pair Of Trainers/ or Sneakers
I just saw this on Mr.Porter.com's website's The Journal page and I thought that everybody including myself has to read this article, as it can't be just me that has this problem of after a while of owning a pair of trainers, sneakers, plimsolls or whatever you call them, the shininess of whatever colour they were when you first bought them,-particularly with white trainers, plimsolls, sneakers etc- wanes and you start noticing marks of dirt on them from where they've been worn repeatedly, or they've got marks on them from where you've been wearing them when it's been raining and you've walked through puddles, and the laces look all dirty, and then this again might just be me but by the next time you want to wear these trainers you see all of this and you start to feel like they look too dirty to wear out and about that maybe you should start looking for some new trainers because you can't just put these in the washing machine anymore!
And now thanks to Details Magazine Style Director Eugene Tong's "How To Guide..." on Mr. Porter.com's website's The Journal page which includes a handy Tutorial showing the "5 Golden Rules To Sneaker /or Trainer Maintenace" and what kind of tools you'll need for this job, and thankfully all these tools you'll need for this job are amazingly cheap,-well for the website they are amazingly cheap- but they are also of the highest quality such as:
Jason Markk's Premium Shoe Cleaning Essential Kit for £16, this includes a gentle biodegradable shoe cleaner that will clean up to 100's of pairs of shoes before you have to restock with the full size cleaner, and this kit also includes a wooden handled brush. This brush is made of synthetic bristles so is tough enough to use on all colours and material types, but for delicate materials and leather use the Premium Shoe Cleaning Brush priced at £10 as well as using the Premium Shoe Cleaner priced at £17.
And what can also be great to use to keep your trainers looking as fresh as when you bought them is Jason Marrkk's 200ml Repel Spray, this water based formula creates a durable barrier that protects a variety of materials including leather, nylon, nubuck, canvas, suede and leather without altering the look or feel of the shoes.
For all other product details on Jason Marrkk's range of amazing products that are good to use in maintaining your trainer's /or sneaker's or plimsolls or whatever you call them and stopping them looking drab and dirty, or if you just want to see this tutorial or if you just want to have a gander at this article, here's the link below:
