LOS ANGELES /PRNewswire/ — The Summer of Marley culminates this week with a brand new, official lyric video for Bob Marley & The Wailer’s “Exodus,” which debuts today on Bob Marley’s Official YouTube Channel.

The Summer of Marley culminates this week with a brand new, official lyric video for Bob Marley & The Wailer’s “Exodus,” which debuts today on Bob Marley’s Official YouTube Channel.

This new video for “Exodus” draws on shared histories, collective pain, and a cry for liberation, showing through rich visuals a parallel between the Biblical story of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt and the hope of guiding the Rastafarians to freedom. The protagonists set out to leave a destroyed land behind, hoping to find the Fatherland, with aspirations to build a spiritual homeland and find redemption and peace in the middle of Africa. Led by an international team of artists from Africa, Europe, and South America, the video articulates a message of triumph, hope, unity, and strength of a community coming together using hand-drawn illustrations and textures laced with powerful, archival footage of Bob Marley & The Wailers performing “Exodus” in Zimbabwe in 1980. Watch the video for “Exodus” on Bob Marley’s Official YouTube Channel HERE. 

Over the summer,  Bob Marley & The Wailers’ original album, Exodus, named the “Best Album of the 20th Century” by Time magazine in 1999, became available in Dolby Atmos. Mixed by Nick Rives and approved in-person by Ziggy Marley at Capitol Studios, the Atmos mixes are now HERE.

In addition, the Marley Family, Island Records, and UMe marked the 45th anniversary of Exodus with a revised digital Exodus: Deluxe Edition in June. The digital deluxe album features the ten tracks from the original album, plus 18 Singles & Sessions tracks; 13 of the tracks were culled from two previous Deluxe Editions. Previously unreleased tracks, “Natural Mystic (Horns Mix),” and “The Heathen (Alternate Version),” the rare 7-inch versions of “Exodus,” “Jamming,” and “Punky Reggae Party,’ and the original B-side to “Jamming” are also included on the new digital deluxe, as well as two cuts previously unavailable digitally. The Exodus: Deluxe Edition also boasts two additional bonus tracks, including the edited live versions of “So Much Things To Say” from the June 1st show (previously released on the Deluxe Edition of Exodus 40 – The Movement Continues in 2017) and “Exodus,” the finale from the Rainbow’s June 2nd set, previously featured on the album’s 2001 Deluxe Edition. Each performance is otherwise presented unedited within their respective live set (see below). Click HERE to listen to Bob Marley & the Wailers’ Exodus: Deluxe Edition.

June also highlighted the digital premiere of three of the four nights from Bob Marley & the Wailers’ historic June 1977 run at London’s Rainbow Theatre. While a select number of tracks from the Rainbow recordings were included on previously released Deluxe Editions of Exodus, and audio and video of the entire June 4th concert were released during the year-long 75th Birthday Celebration in 2020, most of the legendary performances from the three nights, each featuring slightly different setlists and alternate arrangements, had never been heard before. Twenty-nine songs throughout the three shows, equating to more than three-quarters of the total songs performed, are previously unreleased performances.

A message has arrived from Kid the Phantom Thief, that he will steal a Japanese sword belonging to the wealthy Onoe Family in Hakodate, Hokkaido. Conan and Heiji Hattori, who happened to be in Hakodate, are on the case to capture Kid. Onoe Family’s collections are associated with Toshizo Hijikata, a historic figure who perished in Hakodate.

The grandfather of Onoe family’s patriarch was deeply involved with the army industry during wartime, and it was rumored he hid some powerful weapon that could “change the course of war” somewhere in Hakodate. Is Kid after that weapon? Meanwhile, Heiji is trying to find a perfect viewpoint to declare his love to Kazuha…

KAYSVILLE, Utah /PRNewswire/ — The Picklr, North America’s fastest-growing indoor pickleball facility, released its latest commercial, Everything’s Better At The Picklr, featuring NFL icon and Picklr franchise owner, Drew Brees. The humorous spot shows what it can feel like when you stop playing pickleball on weather-dependent outdoor courts and start playing in a climate-controlled premier club. From their unrivaled membership benefits to state-of-the-art facilities, The Picklr believes playing at their club should feel over the top every time. With the demand for courts evergrowing and over 250 indoor pickleball facilities opening in the next few years, The Picklr offers an oasis where players can indulge in the thrill of pickleball while escaping the elements.

In this fantastical version of The Picklr, the club is buzzing with color and spa-like services.

A perfumer delights in spraying players with the “scent of success” emanating from a bottle shaped like a pickleball. Cheerleaders choreograph their moves exclusively for each player. Zero-gravity zones defy convention, offering players a literal lift over their competition, while a barbershop quartet serenades them with a custom “Everything’s Better At The Picklr” theme song. When players think it can’t get any better, they’re greeted by their pickleball mentor, Drew Brees himself, whose infectious energy and expertise elevates their game to new heights.

Picklr Chief Brand Officer, James Hurlock’s, vision for the spot was a magical fantasy worthy of the pickleball community’s enthusiasm for the sport. “In this extraordinary realm, every moment is infused with laughter, camaraderie, and the sheer joy of pickleball, proving beyond doubt that, indeed, everything is better at The Picklr.”

trailer


“Hunting for the Hag” follows the thrilling journey of three young women who dare to venture deep into the woods of central Illinois in search of the mysterious legend known as The Hawthorne Hag. Led by aspiring documentary filmmaker Tara, these brave souls set out to capture The Hag on camera for the first time. However, as they immerse themselves in the task, they encounter unforeseen dangers lurking within the forest.
