When something is dirty you wash it. That's what my mum always said.Yet...When you have dirty money and you launder it, people jump up and down.I guess that's life.

You ever drawn Painter?

As soon as I saw this ask I had to find the things I've done of him BUT THEN I NEVER FOUND THEM ARGH

Until now atleast

Also since that is.. horrifically old art from 2019(???) .... So have the evolution of him (from his concepts to his final design) from that one cool dev time lapse, it's more recent art LMAO

I def need to draw him again sometime </3

DIIV (Brooklyn, New York) has a new album coming out in late May. "Brown Paper Bag" is the only song currently available. It reminds me of the underrated Erik Blood.

Without a doubt DIIV get filed under shoegaze. But there is definitely the melodic sensibilities of Deerhunter. I'd also like to redirect everyone to Launder - an LA based project that enlisted the help of DIIV's Zachary Cole Smith.

"Frog In Boiling Water" will be released via Fantasy Records. Their website still has a signed copy of the LP for sale.

Rust Is Just Right's Best Albums of 2022

Today is April 18, and it is time once again for us here at Rust Is Just Right to release our best-of list of albums from the past year.  We follow this unusual schedule for a few reasons: 1) It allows some of the albums that are released at the end of the calendar year to get some recognition, since they usually get swallowed up in the attention of the flurry of year-end lists and 2) We get the…

As a current college student I refuse to believe Danny as Ghost King doesn’t answer summons. As soon as people start summoning him he starts demanding home cooked meals and fat wads of unmarked cash.

That they started off summoning him with the blood of virgins was a bit distasteful, but once he told them to knock it off (threatened to take whatever harm they do to innocents out on their skin, tenfold) they seemed to get the message and started giving him offering of home decor and kitchen appliances instead.

All things being equal, they don’t even ask for much in return. For most of them, just the confirmation that he exists and is “”watching out“” for them is enough. Although lately he’s started giving his cultists random junk (a nice rock he found, a handful of marbles, a piece of scrap metal from his parents lab) and telling them they’re sacred artifacts of great power, as a joke.

I got asked the other day if my job was a front for money laundering. It was a really fun young couple and it an absolutely blindsided me. So instead of my polite retail laugh they got an insane bray of astonished real laughter which utterly delighted them.

“Have you never heard that before?!”

I wheezed for a minute before gasping, “No! Why would I have???”

“Well because these stores are always so quiet but there’s a million of them!”

My coworker popped his head over the desk and said, “I get asked like once a week about it.”

That sent me laughing even harder until I finally got myself calmed down enough to say, “I hope it feels good that you got to be my first.”

From their wide mischievous grins, it did.

I have found that the biggest deterrent to assholes is asking "why?" Over and over.

"We can't have universal healthcare!"

Why?

"Because I don't wanna pay for a strangers health!"

Why?

"Because if they can't afford their own health care that isn't my problem!"

Why?

And so on and so on. Keep making them dig. Keep making them explain until they can't anymore and are faced with nothing but the ugly mask of bias and prejudice. Only then can they truly see that taking it off is an option. Whether they do or not is up to them. And that choice tells you whether they deserve more of your energy or not.

Trans kids can't be trans. Why? Why not? Why?

Free food is bad for ppl. Why? Why? Why? Why is feeding ppl bad?

Why?

Why is helping one another bad?

Why is doing what humans are genetically designed to do, to help and care for one another to ensure survival, bad?

Not sure what took me so long to find Launder (Los Angeles, California). This album was initially released in 2018 and is mainly the brainchild of John Cudlip. He enlisted the help of Zachary Cole Smith of DIIV and French singer Soko. I'm not really sure how Cudlip swung such impressive guest coups.

This 5-song EP unfolds amidst a shoegaze sound - sometimes this is more pronounced (the final song "Follow Me Down"). But mostly, this has the undeniable feel of Deerhunter, Lotus Plaza, Erik Blood, and DIIV. When Launder are in full shoegaze mode they remind me a bit of Pia Fraus.

Launder released a full length "Happening" in 2019 with both Smith and Soko continuing to lend their skills. "Pink Cloud" was released on Day Wave and "Happening" on Ghostly International.
