FANFIC UPDATE 11-6-2024:

First of all, I just wanted to say that I'm as angry as - if not angrier than - you right now at the election results, but I PROMISE you, retribution will be swifter than Taylor.

Anyways, that aside, today is National Saxophone Day, so I wrote a Sonic fic about it titled Mindless Sax (Fanfiction, AO3).

Saxophones

The saxophone is officially banned by the Catholic Church. Pope Pius X banned the saxophone from churches in 1903 in his Motu Proprio On Sacred Music saying the instrument "may give reasonable cause for disgust or scandal" and "is unworthy of the House of Prayer and of the Majesty of God". The ban has never been officially lifted.

10 things you might not know about saxophones:

I went to a gay art market in the city today and my only pride shirt is a tank top and I have a bad sunburn from the beach last weekend so I didn't want to wear it

So I decided to wear my Lost Boys shirt instead and I told my mom before we left that it's pretty much the same as wearing a pride shirt and she didn't believe me

Sure enough, literally every booth we stopped at I was complimented on it

Gay people fucking love The Lost Boys

Relaxing after a long day at Hogwarts.

drawn after that screenshot of Adrien Brody in The Pianist, which i guess is why his face looks a bit different here. i'll probably fix it if/when i paint it, but it might take a while and i wanted to show off my sketch :D

Here’s a fun activity you can do. You can find live shows of semi obscure bands you like uploaded by people who bring camcorders to lots of music shows in their area. Already this is really fun bless those people a million times for their service. And then you can find other bands both on that channel generally and from whatever tour/day at that venue that band was at. You can find stuff that’s super obscure you can find whole shows that literally only have like 20 views. It’s really beautiful. Chances are the channel will end up going to a lot of stuff similar in vibes to the band you already like and also often bands that are similar will tour together, and bands that are friends will tour together. It’s a very fun way to find really obscure stuff and get into that as well as see stuff featuring the band you already like! I found a band I had never heard of today and for one of their songs they had the trumpet player from the band I already know come on for one of the songs. It was really fun ^_^

“Wayne Shorter, my best friend, left us with courage in his heart, love and compassion for all, and a seeking spirit for the eternal future. He was ready for his rebirth. As it is with every human being, he is irreplaceable and was able to reach the pinnacle of excellence as a saxophonist, composer, orchestrator, and recently, composer of the masterful opera Iphigenia. I miss being around him and his special Wayne-isms but I carry his spirit within my heart always.”

—Herbie Hancock
