Hace mucho que no tocábamos Tumblr, ¡lo sentimos mucho! Es muy difícil acordarnos de actualizar todas las redes sociales con el ritmo de vida que llevamos actualmente. Pero como nos han llegado comentarios bonitos por otras redes sobre nuestros dibujos que rondan por aquí, nos hemos animado a volver a activarlo y subir nosotras mismas varios de ellos, y así os ponemos al día y os facilitamos la compartición y el disfrute de los mismos.

Como nuestra autora favorita de hadas, Holly Black, tenía firmas en Madrid, nos dimos caña para poder preparar unos cuantos dibujos para darle en mano de su gran saga "Los habitantes del Aire". Realizamos varios diseños sencillos que hicimos a modo de estudio de los personajes principales: Jude y Cardan, y también de todos los compis de Cardan que se dedican a complicar la vida de Jude: Locke, Nicasia y Valerian.

No sabemos si es como los imagina la mayoría, pero así es como los visualizamos servidoras. ¡Ojalá os gusten!

Little Feat with Los Lobos at PNC Pavilion, Cincinnati, Ohio, June 18, 2024

When writing about a two-band gig, journalistic norms dictate leading with the headliner. But where Little Feat and Los Lobos are concerned, such guidelines are bunk.

For on June 18 at Cincinnati’s PNC Pavilion, support act Lobos, a band with its core quartet in place for 51 years, was the brightest star on a stage shared with the recently reconstituted Feat, with original keyboardist and onstage traffic cop Bill Payne; Dixie Chicken-era members Sam Clayton (percussion) and Kenny Gradney (bass); Let it Roll arrival Fred Tackett on guitar, mandolin and trumpet; and new additions Tony Leone on drums and Paul Barrere vocals and Scott Sharrard on guitar and Lowell George vocals.

What the fans who filled some one-third of the venue’s 4,000 seats received in return for braving the outdoor sauna was an hour from one of America’s longest-running and stable bands - horn/keyboard man Steve Berlin joined in 1982 - and 90 minutes from the world’s-best Little Feat tribute act with members of Los Lobos sitting in on multiple cuts.

It was still near 90 degrees when Los Lobos wrapped at 9 p.m., yet the fans dancing to the Grateful Dead’s “Bertha,” which morphed out of “Not Fade Away,” rewarded the group with a standing ovation. And Cesar Rosas (guitar, percussion, vocals), Conrad Lozano (bass), Louie Pérez (guitar, jaraña, drums), David Hidalgo (guitar, accordion, vocals), Berlin and touring drummer Alfredo Ortiz earned the accolades with a career- and-genre-spanning set bridging decades, cultures and influences.

The sextet opened with “Flat Top Box” and “Love Special Delivery” from 2021’s covers album, Native Sons, songs that featured Berlin’s baritone saxophone underscoring the 1950s vibe. Hidalgo’s Hendrixian guitar solo on the latter added trippy color to the song Rosas typically calls “LSD.”

It was off to the stratosphere from there with Lozano, who spent the gig seated on his amp, and Ortiz signaling a deep-pocketed “Dream in Blue” with an extended sax solo from Berlin. Rosas was on maracas and Pérez on jaraña for “Maricela,” instrumentation that would be reprised later on “Chuco’s Cumbia.”

Jazz was the hallmark of a 10-minute plea for peace on “The Neighborhood;” blues and a dedication to John Lee Hooker on “Don’t Worry Baby;” and the band looked to the East (“Kiko and the Lavender Moon”) and South (“Georgia Slop”) when Hidalgo strapped on a squeezebox and Pérez retuned temporarily to his original spot behind the kit.

Though Lobos’ opening set was necessarily truncated, Berlin, Hidalgo and Rosas had more stage time to come, as each sat in during Feat’s performance, bookended with “Fat Man in the Bathtub” and “Feats Don’t Fail Me Now.” Harmonica blower Michael LoBue also appeared for “Mellow Down Easy” (with Hidalgo) and “Long Distance Call” (Rosas) from Sam’s Place, the band’s 2024 blues covers album with Clayton on lead vocals.

These songs, Payne’s “Oh Atlanta,” and 1988’s “Hate to Lose Your Lovin’” sounded like the band that recorded them, as Sharrard (Gregg Allman Band) is more adept at channeling Craig Fuller than George.

Other tracks from Feat’s golden era were less successful. “Willin’” featured a mandolin solo and was akin to John Mayer singing “Ripple” for Dead & Company; Leone (Chris Robinson Botherhood) didn’t quite capture the essence of “Old Folks Boogie;” and “Dixie Chicken” - outfitted with trumpet, bass and synth solos - lost its momentum in the gratuitous showcases.

But “Cold, Cold, Cold,” “A Apolitical Blues,” “Spanish Moon” and “Skin it Back” - the latter two with Berlin reading charts from a piece of paper taped to a mic stand and honking on a baritone sax - almost sounded like Little Feat. Not quite. But almost.

In the end, Los Lobos met the absurdly high expectations that come with being the best live band in America on any given night, while Little Feat exceeded the more-modest hopes for a group of veterans and ringers.

The Muses hit me with some random inspiration today so here’s a proper design sheet for He of the Lingering Smog and the Glittering Lights, aka Hollywood Angel, aka the God of Los Angeles, featuring the script Chahvinik by @thecrazyneographist.

He’s mostly based on the name of his city, the fashion sense of the famous bit of Humanity that calls him home (clothing is half gala dress, half black tie suit), all the ink those writers use up, paparazzi, Hollywood’s history of censorship, the smog that blankets his land, the manipulative nature of the industry, and the horses of the Spanish who took the land for the Angels.

Ｃｕｒｒｅｎｔ ｒｅａｄｓ

I am in fact a mood reader and I switch between simply just reading books and annotating books so here’s what I’m currently in the middle of.

𝚂𝚌𝚢𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚋𝚢 𝙽𝚎𝚊𝚕 𝚂𝚑𝚞𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚗

Lowkey really excited to read this series. This one was a gift from my aunt for the holidays. I love a good dystopian and it’s such an interesting concept of scythes. I’m excited to see who it is comes out on top between the two. This one I am not annotating.

𝙰 𝙶𝚘𝚘𝚍 𝙶𝚒𝚛𝚕’𝚜 𝙶𝚞𝚒𝚍𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝙼𝚞𝚛𝚍𝚎𝚛 𝚋𝚢 𝙷𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝙹𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚜𝚘𝚗

I picked up this book along side another book because I was torn between two and my friends like to encourage my book addiction. Anyways I was originally gonna wait to start this book but I went home and started the series and loved it so I started it sooner than expeted. As a fan of true crime and shows such as Criminal Minds and Sherlock I love mysteries and everything between. I’m excited to get through this one and start the rest of the trilogy. This one I am annotating but keeping it fairly simple or else it’ll take me far too long to finish.

𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕 𝙵𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚠𝚎𝚍 𝚆𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚄𝚜 𝚋𝚢 𝙰𝚗𝚍𝚛𝚎𝚠 𝙹𝚘𝚜𝚎𝚙𝚑 𝚆𝚑𝚒𝚝𝚎

The debut novel of Andrew Joseph White. Honestly I enjoy his writing heavily and Hell Followed With Us is obviously included. I love the diversity in the characters and the different concepts for each of his novels are always so good and intriguing. It’s taking me a little longer to get through it though because I am thoroughly annotating this one. But good lord is it so good and easy for my brain to read.

𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙲𝚛𝚞𝚎𝚕 𝙿𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚎 𝚋𝚢 𝙷𝚘𝚕𝚕𝚢 𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔

This was also gifted to me and honestly I’ve been liking it way more than I expected. I just didn’t know how I’d feel about it but gave it a shot anyhow and I’ve honestly been in love with this book. This book I’m also annotating and I’m scared for the rollercoaster this trilogy is about to be.

𝙻𝚊𝚜𝚝 𝙽𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚊𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚃𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚐𝚛𝚊𝚙𝚑 𝙲𝚕𝚞𝚋 𝚋𝚢 𝙼𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚍𝚊 𝙻𝚘

Lowkey didn’t really know what this book was about I just knew it was popular amongst the queer community. It’s honestly so good and I’m so excited to finish this one. This one I’m not annotating because I cannot simply annotate all my books and expect to ever finish them

Also all the descriptions are taken from StoryGraph because I couldn’t take copying and pasting all the synopses. 😭😭

FLASHBACK — días después de su accidente. 📍 campus universitario.

"supongo que mis días de vacaciones se están acabando, ¿no?" lo dice porque, aunque aún hay moretones y raspones presentes, heridas comienzan a sanar. melliza no la iba a obligar a trabajar así en lo que sería su granja, sin embargo... joy cumple sus promesas. además, sorprendentemente, le caería bien la distracción. mientras camina por el campus, mira constantemente hacia atrás o hacia sus costados, sintiendo que las siguen. "¿todo bien contigo? ¿no hay nada... nuevo?" pregunta casualmente, queriendo indagar si el causante de su 'accidente' ha vuelto a aparecer. @hollyhoffman-oct31
