I'm looking for a couple of date night ideas in and around Cape Town. Please tell me where you have been that you really enjoyed. I'm new to Cape Town.
Top Comment: Secret gin bar in wale street, Ricks Cafe Americain in Kloof street. Sea point side there’s three wise monkeys and then for desert MySugar just down the road. constantia UITSIG has a ton of small but amazing restaurants. Kloof street house and Asoka are a must too. There are tons of wine farms to explore in and around Cape Town for a day activity also a wine tram stellenbosch and Franschhoek side. If you’re feeling fancy book a table for two at La Colombe for some fine dining they also offer a great wine pairing menu. Another two are chefs warehouse @ Beau constantia and chefs warehouse @ tintswalo (you’ll want to go during sunset so you can watch the sunset over the ocean). You can also go to boulders beach in simonstown to check out the penguins. kalk bay is another really nice spot with tons of restaurants and small shops (nice for a day activity) there’s also kayaking in seapoint and snorkelling in Hout Bay. Kirsten Bosch gardens to explore the botanical gardens and bring your own picnic along. Oh yeah Piano bar in De Waterkant is another perfect date night spot and bistro 1682 in Steenberg golf estate. Incognito bar @ the alphen hotel in constantia

Ghost Town, new album from Narnia! Release date March 17th, 2023
Main Post: Ghost Town, new album from Narnia! Release date March 17th, 2023
Top Comment:
Twenty-seven years into a career that continues to grow, Swedish metal band Narnia takes huge steps into an exciting chapter with the new album ’Ghost Town’. The seasoned five-some once again shows how to shape a masterpiece with this melodic metal future classic.
On the ninth studio album, ’Ghost Town’, Narnia has picked the icing on the cake from its vast catalog. You can’t simply label this album a neoclassic metal album or a power metal album, even though these elements are present. There are also parts that are progressive, modern, heavy, or just creatively different. But you can summarize by saying this is well-crafted piece of classic and melodic metal.
Co-founder, guitarist, and producer CJ Grimmark is the crucial architect of the band’s sound, and also its primary songwriter along with co-founder and lead singer Christian Liljegren and bassist Jonatan ”Jono” Samuelsson. Through well formulated lyrics and melodies created to enhance the music, the songwriting team has explored new modes of expression that are well represented in songs such as ’Thief’, with its dramatic arrangement, anxiety-laden, expressive imagery, and the progressive ’Modern Day Pharisees’, a song dealing with the subject of hypocrisy.
The title track, ’Ghost Town’, was first introduced to the cheering live-audience at Sweden Rock Festival 2022 and is now an obvious part of the set list with its bombastic four on the floor-pulse and sing along chorus. The heartbeat of Narnia, Andreas “Habo” Johansson, does a tremendous job behind the drums, and spares no energy.
Martin Härenstam and his keyboards have been given a large but tasteful space on the record, and range in sound from vintage synths to grand piano.
The record’s neoclassical gem, ’Rebel’, with a nod to the band’s earliest influences, should appeal to longtime fans. But also, more immediate songs like the soon-to-be crowd pleasers ’Hold On’, ’Wake Up Call’, and ’Alive’. ’Descension’, on the other hand, is more progressive, but there is a constant and clear common thread throughout the entire production that ties it together brilliantly.
’Out of the Silence’ picks up where 2019’s ’The War That Tore the Land’ left off as the album’s only ballad. Featured by Saviour Machine’s frontman Eric Clayton, who reads the Lord’s prayer with his deep baritone operatic voice.
’Glory Daze’ is perhaps the album’s heaviest song, which also addresses one of today’s biggest problems: Stress and chasing the wind. Something that Liljegren himself experienced during a burnout.
– Different songs will appeal to different people lyrically, but we cover a variety of topics throughout the album, and I’m sure people will be able to relate to them, both musically and spiritually. Some of these songs stand out a bit from our previous repertoire, but without abandoning our historical influences. Liljegren explains and continues:
– This is an album with a positive message combined with bombastic music. You can’t have one without the other when it comes to Narnia. Liljegren concludes.
Lyrics that make you reflect combined with the broad musical breadth the band possesses, along with a solid production, is Narnia’s musical trademark which runs throughout the entire album.
If the latest studio album ’From Darkness to Light’ from 2019 marked the way, ’Ghost Town’ is a more than worthy sequel with a life of its own.
“Ghost Town” is produced by CJ Grimmark, mixed by the band”s sound engineer Viktor Stenquist, and mastered by Thomas Piec Johansson. It will be available on all digital platforms, CD, and vinyl on March 17th in collaboration with Sound Pollution Distribution.
Halloween Town Release date????
Main Post:
Can anyone remember the first Halloweentown movie coming out in 1996 not in 1998? I clearly remember living in one city and watching it at home but when I happened to see the date on google, the year doesn’t match where I was living at the time? Plus the first time I watched it it was such an event, with all the promos and commercials leading to the first time it aired on Disney Channel you would remember something like that. Let me know

Not sure...It definitely feels more 1995 ish but I was 10 in 1998 and that's about the time I remember it coming on.
