Jim Michaels' & Bob Singer's rule for The Impalas: "If we're gonna do it, we gotta do it right."
The SPN crew rehearsed for MONTHS for the 100th episode party. Full-time crew members only. No day players. No winging it.
The result? Pure magic 🎤

🎶Or that there was a #SPN crew band, The Impalas, who played season wrap parties?

🐯Or about Ghost Tyger’s cannibalism stance?

🎶 Songwriter-turned-composer Jay Gruska scored half of Supernatural for 15 years. He gave each episode fresh material, only reusing themes when the story earned it.
🎧 Hear about his approach & his "healthy fear" of the fandom.

🎼 This week, we're talking to Christopher Lennertz & Jay Gruska—the 2 composers who alternated episodes for ALL 327 episodes of the show. Yes, you read that right. They split the job and somehow made it work beautifully. 1/3

After months of recording interviews, we’re finally launching our Supernatural 20th anniversary extravaganza!

@dwnpod.bsky.social & I talk about the music in the show, music inspired by the show, & how cast/crew grew into their own musical aspirations as well!

Actually mentioned in the comments that I’ve read that full series, plus several of her others that I actually liked better (dreamblood)

That is to say, yes I read the trilogy right when it came out & got obsessed with her writing 😉

Psh, that’s baby stuff. I’ve read her dreamblood duology (frankly, a better series imo) and the City We Became that totally had me obsessed!😍

I gotta get my history fix from someone that isn’t just my husband ranting at me about Latin America/Cuba! Lol.

I’m thinking fiction, ideally sff, and something I can pick up and put down while traveling around Japan 

lol, as long as I can download it to my kindle, I won’t say no!

Friends! Send me your book recs and tv suggestions! I will be on a plane for 12 hours tomorrow and need distractions I can download on my kindle or episodes I can download on my phone.

🎸 NEW PODCAST ALERT 🎸

Episode 1 of our Supernatural Music Extravaganza is HERE! Denim-Wrapped Nightmares and In Defense Of Fandom kick off a massive 10-episode celebration of SPN's 20th anniversary, diving deep into the show's iconic musical legacy.

I grew up in rural central Texas too. It makes complete sense.

#TIL The mammal responsible for the most human deaths in the US?

Deer 🦌

Having grown up in the hill country, I’m actually not at all surprised.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

That’s sooooooo creepy 🫣
