An expanded ver of the original fanmix, because I finally got to play TSPUD and it permanently rewired my brain the same way TSP did way back when. Happy 4/27; Let's Begin Again.

All things hidden and mean...

So, thanks to @catilinas​ and @endofvanity​​ and their stunning discovery that Squalloscope is #terrorhours, I’ve now become obsessed with Squalloscope, and one thing that happens when I have a new music obsession is that sometimes I used the collected canon of lyrics by a music artist to translate Latin poetry (I wish I could say this was the first time this has happened.) 

Long story short, the above poem is a “translation” of Catullus 51 (Ille me par esse, &c) using only lyrics from Squalloscope songs. Thanks so much to you both for helping me find so much new music!

Citations to each of these specific lyrics below the cut.

NB: A couple of pronouns and verb forms have been altered, but otherwise these lyrics are pretty much word for word.

a squalloscope song for every episode of the terror (2018)

(inspired by @dedraconesilet's post which was in turn inspired by this post!) 

or: @endofvanity and i spent way too long making ourselves sad in order to make what is Definitely Not just an attempt to get more people to listen to squalloscope, ideally while thinking about the terror

1. go for broke - nocturnal “is it too much to ask to stop all the clocks / for the wicker basket or the pine box? / any room of the house can be your cenotaph. / i'll send you departure through a polygraph”

2. gore - big houses “we follow our own steps while our shadows keep watching us. / the wrong steps would be not to start this exodus”

3. the ladder - A.A.A. “i’d like to multiply horizons from battlefields to the stage. / who will we be the next time we meet? / with our cracked cuticles and our sharp teeth? / all things hidden in the mouth of the wolverine”

4. punished, as a boy - rifle scissor stone “hate to say i told you so said the scissor to the stone / when you’re finished with me i’ll be sharper than i’ve ever been before”

5. first shot a winner, lads - relaxation contest “this love is a jar of medicine / sometimes it ain't good for anything. / got friends my age who live in graves / got brains that often misbehave / got milk in all my fever dreams / and i’m bursting, bursting at the seams”

6. a mercy - open water reckless fishes “and i watch you as you want your god to watch over you / but you’d like to choose what he’s allowed to see / you remove your sign of religion / he may see you drink but he shouldn’t see me”

7. horrible from supper - hate cake “i can give you a problem if you need one / and a solution, it's easy. / you need to sacrifice something, baby. come on, eat your hate cake, / gobble up the whole plate, happy birthday”

8. terror camp clear - mistakeism “I got here wearing a coat made from other people's fingers / I'll exit wearing nothing but my own soft shell”

9. the c, the c, the open c - all caps “i never saw so many stars at night when i still lived on earth / nobody down there tells you being lost out here's got its perks / sat by the side of the road to take a breath / told you sometimes i dream that your ribcage caves in on your heart”

10. we are gone - desert pacific octopi “and my lips are sewn shut and my hips are boulders / for ships that won’t come to crash on my bones / i run to where the stray dogs won’t find me / where the broadcast breaks off / where the darkness and the ocean align”

(And Then Some Notes:)

go for broke was almost dust: “bring me a soft invasion / i’ll provide the sea and the ships [...] bring me my packed suitcase and all our favorite words / bring me my library, our books of fishes and birds”

wrt lyrics choice for gore: “the cairn scene...when goodsir calls out to him...that’s EXACTLY this line”

“FOUR IS THE MOST DIFFICULT CAUSE ITS THE MOST SACRIFICIAL”

when you listen to relaxation contest you are legally required to think abt blanky and crozier

“episode 7 is full of HERE HAVE SOME MEN WHO DIED AS A SACRIFICE (farlhorne, morfin...)”

the lyric from mistakeism is fun bcs it’s simultaneously fitzjames and hickey...... dare i say mimetic! at this point we decided that if jfj was a squalloscope song he would be knot two

mistakeism also contains the lyric “i’m thinking next year in the presidential election / maybe i can vote for the mighty rat king”

the c, the c, the open c was almost crying swimmers: “and I hold on, i curl up where i belong / i belong wherever you are, i'm hungry, i'm wrong / we sleep with interwoven limbs, limbs and knots in hankerchiefs / i’m sorry i cannot leave”

ultimately though it was all caps bcs of the line “come on, abyss, take this wedding ring”

when you listen to desert pacific octopi you are legally required to be sad about crozier and james clark ross
