Re: Brother Sister Sexy Pic

Sisters & Brothers is a series of releases under hfn music, curated by Kasper Bjørke and Sexy Lazer. Sitting in one of their weekly steambath sessions, the two friends, DJs and studio collaborators came to the conclusion that instead of starting a label themselves, they should team up with an established imprint and focus on what they really like - making tracks and discovering great new music from their friends (hence Sisters & Brothers).
The series kicked off with a release by the two curators under the moniker The Mansisters, who took us on a journey from Late Night Space Techno to Synth'n'Bongo House. Next up is russian.girls, the brainchild of Fufanu's Guðlaugur Halldór Einarsson, who set another mark of the series with an off-kilter and wonky sound.
Curator Sexy Lazer teamed up with his friend Oculus for a release with low slung grooves, sleazy vibes and lots of fun - sticking to the signiture sound of the series.
Their latest releases include "First Gathering" followed by "Second Gathering", compilations with a delightful and undeniable unique line up of artists, sharing a healthy disregard for unconvention: Love Business, Leif Müller, Whatever/Whatever, Bryan Kessler and Kraftgalli.
The harmonica is but one of many heartwarming elements in this song about brothers helping brothers, no matter the cost. The title phrase comes from a slogan for Boys Town, a famed community for homeless youth, and the piano comes compliments of Elton John, who falls in with the tastefully saccharine strings to deliver an emotional knockout.
But that's not how the fictional family on ABC's "Brothers & Sisters" (10 p.m. Sundays) operates, no sir. The Walkers demonstrate their love for one another by lavishing one another in warm embraces, kisses on the cheek, sincere smiles, heartfelt inquiries into their well-being. This greeting-card cooing is followed immediately by gentle ribbing and sweet-natured teasing, which very quickly (after the first commercial break) devolves into tense exchanges in which the truth (the whole truth and nothing but the truth) springs into the picture: "We hate going to your annual charity event, Mom, we've always hated it!" "You never accepted me for who I was, older brother!" "Why don't you get your act together, drug-addled younger ne'er-do-well? Your drunky antics wear all of us out!"
But those awkward confrontations, in which the entire emotional history of two members of the family is laid bare in a matter of minutes? Don't let them get you down! Because, after the next commercial break, relief is on the way, in the form of a tearful "I always loved you and respected you and admired you so, soooooo much [Mom, brother, sister, husband, son, etc.]! All of our issues and problems are utterly overshadowed by my undying love for you! (Did I mention that I've always been secretly a little bit envious of you?)" In case you can't quite understand just how touching and important the exchange is, there's warm, fuzzy "Touched by an Angel" music playing in the background. If you doubt me -- and thanks to your newfound familiarity with more evenhanded, less biased reviewers, you probably do -- take a gander at these actual lines of dialogue, spoken by actual characters on recent episodes of "Brothers & Sisters":
But the best episode of all featured that fabulous charity event that no one in the family wanted to attend. It was a big night for the Walkers, see? But everything -- and I do mean everything -- went wrong! Gay brother got drunk! Sexy married brother got caught having sexy sex with his sexy wife in the coat closet! Mom confronted Dad's mistress in the ladies' room! It was a total fiasco! Ah, but even though the night was a total disaster, in the end, everyone apologized to everyone else, and then the whole family stepped outside and slow-danced together in the parking lot. Yes, slow-danced. In the parking lot. Then the camera pulled up and away -- I think it was a crane shot, in fact -- so we could savor just how poignant and special a moment the whole huggy, lovey family was having together, while really terrible sappy music played -- not good sappy music, like you'd find on "The OC" or "Party of Five," but incredibly awful sappy music, music awful enough that you suddenly felt like it was 1995 and your grandmother just switched the channel to CBS while you were in the bathroom.
The Brimmage sisters have an unbreakable bond. Trust and loyalty are at the forefront of their sisterhood. But when the girls' hearts are captivated by the Borrego brothers, several secrets are kept, and many lies are told.
Risa is a college student who's been trapped in a four-year abusive relationship. After a particularly brutal attack, Risa finally decides she's had enough and leaves for good. When she meets the smart and sexy businessman Micah Borrego, they hit it off almost immediately. Unbeknownst to Risa, Micah battles with a serious sex addiction, and true commitment might be impossible for him.
Romi is still trying to figure out life after high school. After Dre Borrego tells her that he doesn't want to be in a relationship, she finds herself running through one man after another, attempting to mend her broken heart. Raina, whom they affectionately call Baby Girl, experiences both love and heartbreak for the very first time at the hands of Damien Borrego. Damien finds himself struggling to hold out for this young girl, but the convenient sex that comes along with his popularity and family name gets him every time. Raquel, the feistiest sister of them all, is a talented musician with a non-existent social life. Melo Borrego takes on the difficult challenge of trying to break down the iron-clad walls she has built up around her heart.
After a hurricane of events, so many lies and secrets are left undisclosed between the Borrego brothers and their leading ladies. As Micah fights to regain Risa's trust, she battles against her past with Zo, as well as, for her future as a lawyer. Shortly after Dre discovers Romi's baby is his, he takes another life changing blow that could ruin him and Romi indefinitely.
I'm the wrong guy for her. She's sunshine and cherry pie. I'm whiskey and fast cars. I'm also keeping one hell of a secret from the woman I've wanted for years. But when I find a list my sister left behind for Ruby, I've got no choice but to offer the sexy, big-hearted girl next door both a road trip and a chance. A chance to discover how big she can dream.
It was only supposed to be one time. But that red-hot one-night stand from the party? The sexy man in the suit who gave me more Os in a few hours than I've had in a year? Turns out my charming British stranger is keeping a little secret. He's as much of a whiz in the kitchen as he is in the bedroom, and soon, we'll be going head-to-head in NYC's biggest bake off. My one-time lover is now my enemy. I vow to loathe him for all eternity, though that would be easier if I wasn't dying to get naked with him again.
