Cedo la página momentáneamente a Don Alex Carretero de fantástico sello Guerssen, que me ha pasado una lista de discos sicódelicos underground cuya rareza es equiparable a su calidad. Muy raros pero muy buenos. Comenzando con Cold Sun y su álbum de 1970 "Dark Shadows" que quedó inédito en su día hasta que Rockadelic lo publicó en 1989. Sol Frío fue la banda de Austin, Texas, de Bill Miller, quién más tarde sacó del agujero de la podredumbre a Roky Erickson. Musicalmente recuerda o puede recordar a 13Th Floor Elevators, los Doors más "góticos", SRC y hasta a Velvet Underground.

Comentario favorito: "This is one of the rare albums hyped by record collectors as a "lost psychedelic masterpiece" that actually lives up to the hype".

Alex Carretero: "Cold Sun fueron la antesala de BliebAlien, de dónde nacieron los Aliens. Billy es colega, estamos trabajando en una nueva edición del disco de Cold Sun para Guerssen. Es un tío muy curioso, fanático de Joe Meek, el peyote y las películas antiguas de terror / ciencia ficción".

What am I actually trying to discuss here? I mean, I mentioned two completely different musicians and I attempted to unite them in their propensity for singles, which resulted in the lack of cohesive albums. Well, you can admit there is something there and I can also include Frank Sinatra among the two, since he has a similar issue, though his LPs are not the problem, they're quite coherent. However, they are not really known. For instance – how many have listened the entire collection of song the tune on the link is on? Yes, Sinatra is experienced more through his tunes than the discs these pieces are on. To be honest, this occurs with many of his peers, i.e. they are much more understood through their biggest hits than their whole long plays.

My boyfriend makes memes and then I post them. He’s the meme machine. I just cried really hard.

Still thinking about The Last of Us:

There's something about Ellie inheriting her gun from Frank that scratches the itch in my brain.

A baby queer inheriting something from a queer elder.

A queer elder who got to live passing down an object of protection to a baby queer whose superpower is that she lived

The mirrored role both Ellie and Frank play(ed) in Joel and Bill's lives.

Yeah. Itched scratched.

I can’t claim this “The Last of Us” analysis, but I wanted to share it here because it’s a fascinating thought:

Bill in the game was a cautionary tale. He was a model for what Joel should avoid becoming, which was a closed-off, selfish loner who managed to push away the person he cared about the most.

Bill in the show is Joel’s inspiration/model. He is the one who puts into Joel’s head that he needs to stop being a closed-off, selfish loner and that he must do whatever it takes to save the person he cares about the most.

And what’s cool about this is that, even though both Bills are different, they both served the same purpose regarding Joel’s character.

[myersesque]

all those emotions aside - something i liked about episode 3 was the emphasis on surviving vs living.

you have people like bill who are survivalists. he's resourceful, stubborn, and self-sufficient - bill knows how to survive, he spent his whole life pre-outbreak preparing to survive. he's not a people person, he doesn't like relying on other people, and he can survive just fine by himself.

then he meets frank - and frank is the kind of person who knows how to live. frank eats meals like he's at a fancy restaurant, and spends just five more minutes in the shower, and sings songs out of key on bill's dusty old piano. he repaints the walls, and waters the flowers, and grows strawberries in the garden just so he can watch bill hide his giggle behind his hands when he tastes them. he uses bill's radio to make friends, and throw little garden parties, and he makes a code out of nostalgic old songs.

the reason bill and frank lived as long and as happily as they did, despite the outbreak and the solitude and frank's health - it's because they had that balance. yes, survival is important - you can't survive an apocalypse without bill's resourcefulness, or joel's construction knowledge, or tess and frank's networking - but surviving isn't living. bill lived and died happy because he let frank in past his (incredibly literal) defenses, because he let him paint portraits and grow flowers and hold him at night.

i saw a youtube comment earlier that i think got it right; in the game, bill was an example of who joel would become if he kept shutting people out, if he didn't allow himself to live. in the show, bill is an example of what joel could have, if he just let himself live and love, if he realised that all his walls and defenses mean nothing if he never has anybody to share it with.

for bill, that person was a husband. for joel, it just might be a daughter.
