"I like this song. It's kind of a boneheaded little song about how maybe when you go home they don't really know how things have been for you, you know? So you would tell them, but you prefer to look around and think how stupid they all are that they don't know."

But Ozzy, so, he discovers that he can go around the world getting as drunk and wasted as he wants, taking off his shirt and telling people to get high, as he wants to do, and this is actually the best living he can possibly make.... So he, he, he tours the world, and you can hear on seventies bootlegs of Black Sabbath that Ozzy will, you know, like in between songs.... But when Ozzy hits that point, he says, 'Get high!' I have one from seventy-eight where he says 'Smoke it!' I love it so much, and I especially love it because as he's doing this, his life is unraveling. He is circling the drain. He's richer than any of us could ever imagine, and it's all going into his nose and, uh, and, and his fortune is evaporating, and he's losing his way. And every single night as he's losing his way, he's telling everybody to join him.

“This is a song about the, uh, brotherhood and sisterhood of the, uh, dispossessed and, uh, and the permanently disoriented.”

why is this the prettiest thing i've read all day? (tmg - "onions")

[outofcontextgoats]

I'm working on concepts for pins to give out at upcoming shows, so, question for y'all: what are some of your favorite tmg songs that you don't see people talk about much? this can be anything from "this is on an album everyone knows but this song always gets overshadowed" to "this is on an ep that isn't on streaming" to "i think I'm the only person in the world who knows this unreleased song", get as obscure as you want!!

i'll be at the run of 8/9-8/12 in a month here, taping each show and giving out a unique pin for each day! more on how to find me + the pin designs once i finish them :-)

hi friends! this is lyric, previously known for 5+ years as fearforthestorm on my personal blog, probably better known over the last year and a half for my dedicated tmg sideblog jennyfromthebes. my account got terminated today out of nowhere, seemingly as part of either some odd technical difficulties or a wave of terms on completely innocuous blogs. i suspect that if i get my blog back it'll be a while so i'm back on a new one now. trying to find as many old friends as possible!

if anybody comes to see me

tell them they just missed me by a minute

if anybody comes into our room while we're asleep

I hope they incinerate everybody in it

Hi!!! I've been curious if you could identify this font? I've been obssessed with how striking it looks.

Thank you for the ask! Sorry you waited so long for a kinda nothing answer, but I ran it through a few font identifiers and unfortunately came back with nothing. It doesn't look like any font I've seen before, and in fact, if you look at the E's you can tell they have slight differences between them. That implies that the artist behind this may have drawn the letters instead of using a font! Therefore, it likely doesn't have an existing font tied to it at all.

Any input, @fontseeker ?

“I’m always trying to figure out what to say about this god damn song. Part of me wants to say look, it’s about revenge, but as soon as I say that… no, that’s not quite it. Part of me wants to say it’s about the satisfaction of not needing revenge… and i say no, that’s some new age stuff. I think it’s a song about the moment in your quest for revenge when you learn to embrace the futility of it. The moment where you know the thing you want is ridiculous and pompous and a terrible thing to want anyway. The direction in which you’re headed is not the direction you want to go, yet you’re going to head that way a while longer cause that’s just the kind of person you are.”
