The Illegal Dairy Queen!

My first fanart of @gauntletqueen following her assertion that DQ doesn’t exist. I dunno about y’all, but I believe the lil’ filly! My favourite details are the Gauntlet Queen logo upon her bolas tie, the zigzag from GQ’s original design being incorporated as the belt upon her hat, and the McDonald’s Denim used in her skirt.

Brought to you by Robyn Adele Anderson’s bluegrass cover of “I Wanna Dance With Somebody”, which I listened to dang-near on loop while weaving my work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdFL3PBTT4w

I know this has nothing to do with me and is just a notification of a reblog

But I'm Absolutely Fucking Losing It from the idea that not only is this post directed at me and only me, but also that my phone thought I needed to be notified that I was getting roasted on Tumblr

Portishead - Dummy

Trip hop is one of those genres where there are like three artists in the whole scene and all of them are legendary. That was kind of an early 90s mood honestly what with grunge being the same. Portishead's sound may be indistinguishable from their contemporaries for a lot of listeners but where Massive Attack and Tricky are coming from a hip hop sound Portishead has more in common with dub and jungle. They have slowed down the breakbeat to the point that its more implied than extant. Dummy develops a spacey, smokey atmosphere thats a little more tripped out and mellow than any other trip hop artist.

Prince - 1999

Yes! YES! In a sane world this would easily be Prince's best album. It's only by the grace of some flamboyant fag god that it isn't. 1999 is filled with huge funky beats and extremely corny synth lines. All the while Prince sing about what Prince knows best: sex. A third the album is made up of seven plus minute funk jams. Three in a row in fact. You'd think that going from the seven minute Let's Pretend We're Married to the eight minute D.S.M.R. to the nine minute Automatic would be tiring, but there is nothing tiring about 1999. This album which ranks 2nd or 3rd in Prince's discography for me would easily best most other artists best work by a mile.

Pink Floyd - The Wall

Roger Waters clearly decided at the height of Pink Floyd's popularity that, instead of going to therapy, he should just get all his problems out in the form of a sprawling concept album. The Wall is lyrically and thematically dense and careful in its use of musical motifs. The four note riff that accompanies main character Pink at every turn becomes a musical symbol of his downfall. And lyrically Waters is working through so many things. His feeling toward his dad, war, stardom, and his fans. His hatred for Thatcherism and the boarding school syatem. Disillusionment and the desire to escape. It may be a lengthy album, but it still packs a lot into that time. The Wall weaves a rich tapestry, its a lot to take in, but there are enough catchy songs to make the first listen as enjoyable as hundredth.

Queen - A Night At The Opera

It seems like a crime to separate A Night At The Opera from its sister album A Day At The Races, but this is the only one that critics liked. A Night At The Opera is a deliciously eccentric album. Its content to jump back and forth between ripping hard rock solos, jaunty little ukelele tunes, prog rock epics, and other miscellania. The whole thing really earns the right to be named after a Marx Brothers film with all the camp and it does feel as dramatic as an opera at times. Nearly every song feels like it could be the centerpiece to a different album. Most people probably consider meme legend Bohemian Rhapsody to be the album's centerpiece, but for me it has to be The Prophet's Song because not a lot of songs can pull off the transition from prog rock number to acapella fugue and back with such ease and style. Everything is so tight and ao technically proficient. The whole album is a well oiled machine that just produces serotonin.

Ray Charles - Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music

In an era when soul, gospel, and R&B were still called 'race music' it was an incredibly bold move to release this record. Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music consists of lush soul covers of contemporary country ballads. Not only was this the most popular album of Ray Charles' career it also revitalized interest in country music. Where the nashville sound is lush he went lusher with more strings and backup vocalists. Where country musicians croon he croons like he was trying out for the rat pack. He takes everything that country music does well and then does it better as a soul songs. This man outdid an entire genre of music! This album has the biggest dick energy in musical history probably.

Mary J. Blige - My Life

Mary J. Blige is back and her second album brings more of the R&B with hip hop beats rhat we saw on her first album. Although there is more neo soul style crooning and less funkiness which makes My Life a little less interesting than her debut. Its still a pretty great album though if you liked Whats The 411? then you'll probably like My Life.

Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique

This is the most nonsensical, unfocused, chaotic, and stupid album in the entire Beastie Boys catalogue. It is one of my favorite hip hop albums of all time. The rowdy childlike goofiness is so fucking infectious. I dont know how they get away with singing an entire song about eggs and then asking me to take anything seriously ever again. I love it. The beats are next level though. Look up a list of the samples used on Paul's Boutique and you'll be floored by the sheer number. The Sounds Of Science samples five different Beatles songs and then also samples Isaac Hayes, James Brown, Pato Bantin, and Boogie Down Productions. It feels like they chose half their samples strategically to make brilliant beats and then a few goofball choices like the theme from Magilla Gorilla or Folsom Prison Blues. The incredibly vortuosic production combined with the childlike off the cuff sound is really amazing. They worked so hard to make it sound like they weren't even trying.

No Courage to War { Ivy & Nanna

Are you stuck with glass bones and paper skin? Sick of just having pedestrian magic to your name? The professors are holding a special class for the squishiest of mages, clerics, and archers, where they may learn close-quarters self-defense if they’re ambushed by an enemy. [Grants Gauntlets +1]

"Professor?" Now, Nanna had never been known to prescribe anyone as an ascetic, but it was a pleasant surprise to see that Professor Ivy—whose sharp eyes downturned and cordial smile had suggested disavowal of her invitation— would be among the ranks for today's lesson. With a skip to her step, she swung over to the woman's side, respectfully blanching out her skirt to curtsey. Crossing her toes, just as Father had taught her, with pearls off her lips to match. "I'm so glad to see that you found the time to stop by. Shall we be partners?"

The edges of her eyes crinkled in fondness, though she had only talked to the woman for a fortnight. Thrill painted Nanna's very countenance, when a respectable figure, elusive and beautiful as Professor Ivy was, hailed among them. "The lesson is about to begin...!"

An instructor stepped forward, with a standard crease to his brow, exclaiming that the Utmost Importance in survival was that of variety. If a mage could not survive a close encounter, nor a warrior a distanced one, then they were just half way towards a dance with the dead. Nanna's memories went back far enough to know what he meant, since she had once been unable to hold a candle to dark knights and cultists who had her kidnapped for blackmail.

"I must say. A dance with the dead is quite right," She commented, with a distant look to her eyes, very unlike herself. The normal soft petals and flourish to her voice gave way to something grave, something deeply seeded in her growth. Still, the light of her emerald gaze never faltered once— as she exhaled the smoke from her lungs. "It would be an honor to show you what I've picked up in my time of war. Maybe it will serve you as well as I."
