#IMAGINEEEEE if i put this much effort into my final paper. oh my god

[aturnoftheearth]

no one asked for my theories about lord huron 5 but i’m gonna give them anyway :D i think the fact that they spent an entire month celebrating lonesome dreams’ 10 year anniversary along with the attention to detail re: blurring george ranger johnson’s face on his website for long lost PLUS this post

which adds the tidbit about johnson’s radio show (compared to his website on the right) all points me towards believing a possible theme could be a follow up from lonesome dreams? but instead of the novels themselves it’s more of a focus on GRJ himself. especially if you’ve listened to their performance of the comedian; the comedian sounds like it’s written by someone who’s had stardom and lost it and (without spoiling it too much for those who don’t want to listen to it yet) the general vibe sounds like it could easily be from his point of view. we know so little about him other than his works, his brief appearance on AFWP as a guest on tubbs’ show, and his ownership of the broken bottle bar. which!!! is the bar that so much of long lost stems from!! tubbs discovering his first act (donny and midge) there and quentin king performing there and receiving the unfinished copy of setting sun (not to mention its appearances in AFWP and the twenty long years lyric video). also the bar is seen as derelict in episode 426, and that leaves so many questions!! did GRJ abandon it to pursue his writing? did he own it throughout his first novels only to abandon it when he reached stardom?

also a lot of people have theorized that because of the “your other life” music video cliffhanger of the Orbs™ and the Laser Gun™ we might see a future album consist of an extraterrestrial theme with a possible 80s vibe. and well. wouldn’t an album focused on GRJ’s radio show- which consists of his favorite songs (which very much could be from the 80s), unexplained phenomena, and questions of extraterrestrial life- fit that narrative?
