Today on her 12th birthday, we celebrate Kara, who at 10 months old was diagnosed with hydrocephalus and has been cared for by our Neurosurgery team. Because of some complications with her shunt, today isn’t quite how she or her family expected to celebrate Kara’s birthday. During a recent music therapy session, Kara’s mom, Nicole, captured Kara beautifully singing “Amazing Grace.” Her mom shares, “Kara is a bright, beautiful little spirit who loves to entertain people. Although she has endured a lot these past couple days, she still remains in good spirits and singing is just one way she does it. I’m sharing this video with everyone in hopes of spreading some joy and love to others ❤️ I hope you all enjoy!” Happy 12th Birthday Kara! Share a birthday message for Kara below. #neurosurgery #hydrocephalus #amazinggrace #music #musictherapy #musictherapist #happybirthday #all4your1

Car accident leaves Jamaican woman with British accent

33-year-old Deana-Rae Clayton is from Montego Bay Jamaica, so it is safe to assume that she grew up having a Jamaican accent.

That was until she was in a horrific car accident that left her in a coma. When she awoke she no longer had her natural accent, but rather a British one!

How does the brain just switch your accent entirely?

That is so crazy! Thankfully she is still alive after the crash. That’s what really matters!

Stream the new Killers album ‘Imploding the Mirage’

It’s been a couple of busy years for the Killers. The alternative icons from Las Vegas with guitarist Dave Keuning taking a hiatus from the group, the massive touring behind 2017’s ‘Wonderful Wonderful’, and trying to release another world-dominating album as the pandemic got going. This brilliant new album was originally due to come out in late May but got delayed so Brandon Flower and Ronnie Venucci could get it just right. It looks like that extra time really helped.

The album has some fun cameos from former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and pop singer K.D. Lang adding flavor to a collection of grandiose songs that drip vibes that remind you of ’80s alternative from the Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, and something you would hear on the soundtrack for a John Hughes movie.  Flowers and company paint a very pretty and hopeful picture on this album for life beyond all the stress we are dealing with currently. It’s the music we need now, maybe more than we may have realized.

‘Mirage’ was released this past Friday and already getting solid reviews.The tracks that stand out: ‘My Own Soul’s Warning’, ‘Dying Breed’ ‘Fire in Bone’, and ‘Caution’ You can stream it here in the YouTube playlist above or get it on Spotify here. You can get the vinyl and digital pack here.

Check out 101WKQX’s Jon Manley chatting with Brandon Flowers about ‘Mirage’ earlier this year.
