Welcome to The List,
Marvel is BIG on origin stories for their superhero’s on the big screen so,…HERE DAN gives us the origin story for Dan + Shay….
Dan: “We were at a party, at my house, and per usual, we were playing guitars, and passing guitars and singing covers. So Shay and I were hanging out that night, and I distinctly remember, I was like ‘This guy is pretty good at singing.’ And the next day we wrote a song, and that song got put on hold by a major artist that night, and we started writing more, and more songs. And we’re like, ‘This is going to work,’ and then somebody told us, ‘You guys should be a duo,’ and we’re like ‘Let’s do it.’”
Shay: “And here we are.”
And THEY will be at the Iowa State Fair Saturday August 21st

The trailer for the new Venom movie is out.. “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” It’s the sequel to the 2018 comic book film starring Tom Hardy, as Eddie Brock, One side of Eddie is a journalist who lives a normal life. But his other half is Venom who feeds on people. In the movie Eddie interviews a serial killer, Cletus Kasady, who is played by Woody Harrelson, who later turns into Carnage, also a predator.

Welcome to The List,
Ella Langley is getting ready to drop album number two. She says Dandelion will hit fans deeper than anything she’s done before. You can vibe casually… or go full lyric detective mode. She even compared the songwriting layers to Fleetwood Mac. Mark April tenth. Sad girl spring incoming.

Reacher star Alan Ritchson just lived his own action scene. Police say he will not face charges after a street fight. Bodycam shows a neighbor approaching while he sat on his motorcycle. Things escalated and Alan reportedly defended himself pretty aggressively. Moral of the story. Do not poke action heroes.
