any andrew bird enjoying friends have particular album recommendations? been listening to bark your head off dog by hop along on repeat today & some of the sounds on there are tugging me in the direction of his stuff, but there's a lot of it & i know very little of it

music videos are so funny because sometimes they're very much produced as a visual demonstration of the song, but sometimes you end up with a line like "death, indiscriminate, drags off the newborn buck with a broken limb" over footage of people smiling and having fun on tour

on that note a lot of people could do a good famous blue raincoat but i would want to hear one from janelle monae, metropolis suite v specifically. like think about sally ride and victory for the tone palette there

my pick for an interesting hallelujah cover would be mcr in the time between bullets and three cheers. ani difranco would do a better one but her spot in my leonard cohen cover fantasy draft league is already taken by chelsea hotel #2 which i think fewer ppl could do right

compare the buckley and wainwright covers, for instance. even with the same accompaniment it would be hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby, because buckley is willing to rush ahead or lag behind, particularly at the beginnings of lines, while wainwright does the vocal equivalent of clapping on 1s and 3s

a lot of people talk (rightly) about covers of Hallelujah tending to remove the more interesting verses, but leave out the far more egregious sin of taking a labored, staggering vocal performance that feels about to collapse under its own weight and just. moving the line deliveries back on beat

further discoveries: the path to the mall katana is crystal clear to any who would seek it. and sometimes all that separates polearm from showy bullshit soft gay knife is having the wisdom to choose rarity over vriska

hammer

yeah

Annihilation

you could summarize the plot and leave out setting details and you'd have something that sounds kind of french new wave. if i could remove all but one of the horror/scifi elements, i would leave in the derivative hack performance artist who just staples a bunch of non-functional ears to himself

whole movie that takes place in the space that would have been the second act of an 80s/90s cronenberg film. it's in the space between when you've adjusted to the big scary thing that changed your life and when it finally makes the status quo untenable. it's a setting where that space spans decades

crimes of the future differs from cronenberg's earlier work in a lot of interesting ways but one i just managed to put my finger on is that it's only a horror movie for the audience. all the horror elements are normal for the characters, for them it's a crime story

hey so I'm just now getting over a few days of a horrific stomach illness that prevented me from really eating much of anything, only to realize i don't really have food on hand or money to get it with. so if anyone could throw me a few bucks that would be helpful

adult bee flies (as it sounds, a family of flies that are bee mimics) are themselves pollinators, but will often drop their eggs into the nests of other insects from the air. here they'll hatch alongside the host larvae, and slowly eat the host larvae while the host larvae eat their own food stores

bug fact for today: many insects have radically different diets at different life stages, but some interesting ones to me are that many adult wasps are predators but the prey is for their larvae & they're herbivorous themselves, and bee flies are parasitic as larvae and herbivorous as adults

yeah b"H for antibiotics

basically just imagine getting really bad food poisoning and also having an average of like an 8/10 tooth pain while it's happening. at this point the toothache has calmed down completely but the fever and stomach stuff are still slowly ramping down. i would like to thank penicillin

i would not recommend getting an infection in a broken tooth. i would not recommend getting a GI infection. i would especially not recommend having a dental infection spread to your stomach in the time it takes to find a dentist who will see you (found one yesterday, recovering now. but ouch)

As far back as I can remember, I wanted to be penetrated by 1000 spikes. To me, being penetrated by 1000 spikes was better than being President of the United States

hey guys. i'm the guy from the yugioh card Needle Wall. you might know me from my effortless swag while a wall full of needles threatens to puncture me fifty thousand times. I am once again asking for your help in purchasing an amount of tetanus serum that Big Pharma "will only sell to a hospital"

the guy from Crash but he's always dreamed of being punctured by interlocking spike traps

why is the needle wall guy grinning like that, that's scary

The Yu-Gi-Oh card Bottomless Trap Hole

Needle Wall

Mind Crush

Heavy Storm Duster

hope to see you in the kind of predicament that is normally reserved for the unnamed characters in Yu-Gi-Oh trap cards

Mechanic [sliding out from under Optimus Prime]: I think I see what the issue is. This truck is also a big guy somehow

good post laura

Hi, everyone. I made a new game over the past few days. read waiting for godot pdf online free: a crunchy simulationist rpg in two acts is now available on my brand new itch page. It’d mean the world to me if you’d check it out. tomorrow-today.itch.io/read-waiting...

really adds to the comedy when the caster is one of the people getting fried, which happens a lot with this

like yes it will be tedious, but sometimes you notice that everyone on the battlefield has an xp total that is a multiple of 4, so you hit every single unit with flare for free and then instantly win because one of your units is a dragon with 600hp who can survive having her blood boiled

really love that the final fantasy tactics arithmetician job hands mages an extremely broken ability but gates it behind the player having to do math every time you want to use it
