Two Door Cinema Club - What You Know

Music Appreciation

Released on February 4, 2011, "What You Know" is a single by the Northern Irish indie rock band Two Door Cinema Club. Written by band members Alex Trimble, Kevin Baird, and Sam Halliday, the track appeared on their debut studio album Tourist History.

While it wasn’t a chart-topper, it gained steady popularity and eventually peaked at number 64 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming one of the band’s most recognized songs thanks to its infectious energy and widespread use in media.

Lyrically, "What You Know" explores themes of uncertainty and emotional detachment in relationships, delivered with a sense of upbeat resignation. The track’s crisp, guitar-driven arrangement—built on rhythmic riffs and a tight drum pattern—epitomizes the clean, danceable indie pop sound that defined early 2010s alternative music. The chorus stands out for its catchy hook, layered vocals, and shimmering synth textures, offering listeners both a feeling of immediacy and introspective distance.

The music video, directed by Lope Serrano, enhances the song's dynamic tone through bold, stylized visuals. Featuring six Spanish dancers—Patricia Suárez, Laia Santanach, Naya Monzón, Alicia Atienza, Adriana Barrabés, and Marina Cardona—the video is set in a minimalist studio space with vibrant color schemes and choreographed routines.

Among the video’s most striking elements is the inclusion of a freestanding bathtub, a visual nod to Blur’s “Country House” video.

Angel Cassidy

Acting Appreciation

Angel Cassidy was born on February 3, 1976, in San Diego, California. She entered the adult entertainment industry in the early 2000s after first performing on websites, gradually transitioning into film work in 2002.

Early in her career, she focused on girl-girl and softcore projects that appeared in major men’s magazines and online platforms, building visibility before expanding her on-screen repertoire. With blonde hair, green eyes, and a statuesque height of 5'7", Cassidy projected a polished, camera-ready presence that suited both editorial and cinematic formats.

As her profile grew, Cassidy broadened her work to include boy-girl scenes, beginning with Sex Money Power in 2004. That same year, she co-produced Beauty Within with Nick Manning Films, signaling a move toward greater creative control.

A standout all-girl scene in Fem Bella earned an AVN Award nomination in 2005, further establishing her credibility. Between 2003 and 2005, she worked as a contract performer with Michael Ninn’s Ninn Worx, known for high-production aesthetics and stylized erotic cinema.

Beyond performing, Cassidy demonstrated entrepreneurial ambition by launching her own site and forming Dream Angel Inc., positioning herself as both talent and producer. She later ventured outside adult film, modeling fitness apparel for Fantasy Fitness and pursuing mainstream acting opportunities, including theater and stand-up comedy appearances.

Isla Fisher

Acting Appreciation

Isla Fisher was born Isla Lang Fisher on February 3, 1976, in Muscat, Oman, to Scottish parents working abroad. When she was six, her family relocated to Australia, where she was raised in Perth. Fisher began appearing in television commercials as a child, showing an early comfort in front of the camera. Known for her petite stature—standing 5’2”—and expressive presence, she developed a screen persona that balanced physical comedy with emotional precision.

Her early acting career took shape in Australian television during her teenage years. Fisher gained national recognition playing Shannon Reed on the long-running soap Home and Away from 1994 to 1997, a role that earned her two Logie Award nominations. During this period, she also worked in theater and continued training, establishing herself as a disciplined performer rather than a fleeting soap-star success.

Fisher’s international breakthrough came with Scooby-Doo (2002), but it was Wedding Crashers (2005) that firmly positioned her in Hollywood. Her performance combined sharp comedic timing with unpredictability, leading to a steady run of high-profile roles in films such as Confessions of a Shopaholic, The Great Gatsby, Now You See Me, and Nocturnal Animals. She has also maintained a strong presence in voice acting and television, including Arrested Development and Wolf Like Me.

In her personal life, Fisher is married to actor Sasha Baron Cohen, with whom she has three children. She converted to Judaism prior to their marriage and tends to keep family life relatively private. Beyond acting, she is an accomplished author of young adult novels and the Marge in Charge children’s series. Fisher supports several charitable causes, including Save the Children and global education initiatives, aligning her public profile with measured, consistent philanthropy.

The Flying Lizards - Money

Music Appreciation

The Flying Lizards' offbeat cover of "Money (That's What I Want)" appeared on their self-titled debut album released in February 1980, following its initial single release in mid-1979. Originally written by Berry Gordy and Janie Bradford and first performed by Barrett Strong in 1959, the song went on to be recorded by The Beatles in 1963.

The Flying Lizards version, masterminded by David Cunningham, embraced a deliberate eccentricity -- sharp, minimalist beats and experimental instructional textures combined with found-sound processing -- to deconstruct the classic into a quirky new wave anthem.

Deborah Evans-Stickland's deadpan vocal delivery -- flat, precise, and detached -- became a defining feature of this hit, transforming it into a cult favorite often heard in media reference to "money," from news broadcasts to film soundtracks.

In the 1979 Jeff Willis-directed music video, filmed in an nondescript house, Cunningham appears playing with tape machines and effects boxes behind Evans-Stickland, whose emotionless recitation heightens the song's ironic mood. Their stage-toy setups--homemade audio gear, cardboard props--mirror the track's studio-built oddness, cementing their roles as pioneers of avant-pop satire.

To this day, that stripped-back cool continues to underline every cheeky commentary on cash.

Holly Jane Johnston

Modeling Appreciation

Holly Jane Johnston first caught my attention with her curvy figure and an unpretentious, soccer-mom energy that feels genuine rather than staged. That mix of confidence and approachability made it easy to understand why her audience grew quickly—and why I followed her on OnlyFans soon after.

Born February 2, 1983, in California, Johnston entered the adult-modeling space in 2021, bringing a perspective shaped by motherhood and everyday life rather than industry polish.

Professionally, Johnston balances modeling with influencer work, presenting herself as a housewife-turned-creator who owns her choices. Her content leans into body confidence and wellness, pairing fashion and fitness with candid reflections on parenting and self-care.

Visually, she favors clean compositions and natural styling—blonde hair, green eyes, and a compact frame—while emphasizing health over numbers. That focus resonates with followers who value consistency and relatability more than spectacle.
