#The Delgados

EoA characters + Hazbin Hotel songs

Elena

A Happy Day in Hell-It's basically a Disney princess song with a lot more cursing but it's so optimistic and determined it has to be Elena.

Ready For This-It's basically My Time.

Starts with Sorry-With Esteban after the forgiveness scene in Coronation Day.

Whatever It Takes-All about doing your best to protect the family you love which fits Elena's motivations through basically the whole show.

The Show Must Go On-See above

Esteban

Stayed Gone (with Victor): The two of them during their estrangement and trying to screw each other over.

Loser Baby (with Victor): Sorta the same as they acknowledged they made an awful mistake in choosing to team up with Shuriki.

Poison-Just the desperate helplessness of the situation fits with Esteban's probably self-loathing during the Shuriki era.

Carla

Respectless-The spunky, no holds barred catchy tune just screams Carla to me. Maybe Naomi but Carla was my first choice.

More Than Anything (with Victor)-It's a father-daughter song about how they love each other and are lucky to have each other, it's just so the Delgados.

You Didn't Know-It's the infamous dinner scene when Esteban's betrayal is revealed. Imagine how much more dramatic it would have been if it had been in song.

Chrysanths is the work of Glasgow-based musician Emily Scott. Scott's most note-worthy project before Chrysanths was Modern Studies.

"Leave No Shadow" has only one song currently available - "Stones". It immediately recalls the work of Natalie Mering as Weyes Blood. But it also has a Lawrence Arabia feel to it.

The LP comes with a CD that doesn't include the piano track. It also includes sheet music so you can play-along with the music. What a cool interactive idea. I wish I remembered how to play piano beyond "Blue Boogie".

This is released on Chemikal Underground (label started by The Delgados). Monorail Records (Glasgow) has signed copies available.

The Light Before We Land // The Delgados In "Hate", Delgados made an album that went against the tide, using large orchestras, passionate melodies, epic choruses, going in a completely opposite direction to what the "new rock" was proposing (namely, White Stripes, Strokes, Vines, Hives, among others). Their detractors claim that the album is exaggerated and pretentious. Yes, "Hate" is very exaggerated and very pretentious, but the exaggeration gave it the strength and consistency that was perhaps lacking in their previous work and pretension is necessary when you want to do something special.

me and Who

[carloskaplan]

Is there anything more revolutionary than taking care of each other?

[cartoonfangirl1218]

Here's the thing, we started out friends It was cool, but it was all pretend Yeah, yeah Since you been gone

You're dedicated, you took the time Wasn't long 'til I called you mine Yeah, yeah Since you been gone

And all you'd ever hear me say Is how I picture me with you That's all you'd ever hear me say

But since you been gone I can breathe for the first time I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah Thanks to you Now I get what I want Since you been gone

How can I put it? You put me on I even fell for that stupid love song Yeah, yeah Since you been gone

How come I'd never hear you say, "I just wanna be with you"? Guess you never felt that way

But since you been gone I can breathe for the first time I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah Thanks to you Now I get, (I get) what I want Since you been gone

You had your chance, you blew it Out of sight, out of mind Shut your mouth, I just can't take it Again, and again, and again, and again

Since you been gone (since you been gone) I can breathe for the first time I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah Thanks to you (thanks to you) Now I get, I get what I want

I can breathe for the first time I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah Thanks to you (thanks to you) Now I get (I get) You should know (you should know) That I get, I get what I want

Since you been gone

I learned about Suckle (Glasgow, Scotland) from an email sent by Monorail Music. Suckle is the vehicle for the work of Frances McKee - formerly of The Vaselines. Stephen Pastel (co-owner of Monorail Music) was there at the beginning of The Vaselines, and mentions how some critics of the band harped on their "non-technical" skills. Well, that may be true, but there's nothing amateurish about Suckle "Against Nurture".

It's beautiful, lush and melodic. It really recalls Look Blue Go Purple, The Velvet Underground, and Syd Barrett. It was produced by Paul Savage of The Delgados and was originally released on Chemikal Underground (the label started by The Delgados).

While this isn't available physically on Bandcamp, it is on Discogs. Also, Monorail is offering signed copies of the original release.

s8 of classic who is just the doctor going 'ah shit there goes my ex again' in every serial

the doctor: what the fuck are you doing here the master: rule the universe with me my dear

[threeswept]

Just discovered that The Delgados, a band I was obsessed with back in 2003, played a series of reunion shows in January. I would’ve flown to the UK and gone to one in a heartbeat! Will just listen to this gem today instead.

I did have the privilege of seeing them once back them- at the legendary Bimbo’s 365 in San Francisco no less.

The Master and The Doctor dynamic is really funny in comparison to other versions of the "hero and villain used to be friends/sort of still are friends/you could interpret them as ex-lovers" trope. Most versions of this trope like magneto and sinestro are well-intentioned extremist villains so you can see why they used to be friends and where their ideologies diverged. Whereas The Master just straight up commits mass murder for fun. Yet The Doctor is so unhinged that the Doctor Who fandom universally accepts this without question. We're all just like "yeah that seems like the kind of guy The Doctor would hang out with".
