There's no shame in Teenage Fanclub worship. They engaged in Big Star worship and so on. I can't seem to get enough of bands who have their own take on the guitar centric power pop peddled by early Teenage Fanclub releases.
Montreal's Laughing must love the Fannies, and I Was A King. They must. They probably love Dinosaur Jr. and The High Water Marks too.
Celluloid Lunch Records (also based in Montreal) is releasing this gem that was mastered by Mikey Young.

The High Water Marks - Your Next Wolf
The High Water Marks se han convertido en un valor seguro para cualquier amante del buen pop de guitarras. Desde que volvieron en 2020 con ‘Ecstasy Rhymes’, un estupendo trabajo que entró entre lo mejor de ese año, no han parado de darnos alegrías a todos los que disfrutamos de este tipo de música. Y es que, el grupo formado por Hilarie Sidney, que como todos sabréis, militaba en The Apples in…

Strolling through a flooded St. Mark's Square feels surreal, with Venetians wading through the water like it's just another day. The historic architecture stands unfazed, a testament to Venice's timeless charm amid nature's whims.

object permanence so bad I have to reread old messages for my brain to go ‘oh yeahhhh I care them’
#its WEIRD I think it’s the reason why I have a hard time expressing why I’m not always aware of people in my life#its not because they dont matter enough to make a mark or that I see them as less than real even though im scared it feels that way#it feels like repeating smth so basic like water is wet or the moon orbits the earth because I stopped seeing it in the daytime#actually this already happens when I write a reminder and then forget because it blurs into the background and my brain#stops registering it as something important without conscious effort#oh shit this might also be why I suck at staying in touch with high school friends and coworkers#especially bc I only know my coworkers for as long as I work with them so when the season is over they’re not present in my routine anymore#isnt it scary when the thought of smth becoming physical in your life means it could eventually be misplaced or forgotten#yapping#diary

we have to paint with novel materials for art class... so i may or may not be doing a bit of alchemy with my meds...
#melonposting#i'm probably gonna dissolve the powder from my iron supplement capsules in something. maybe my excessive amount of tretinoin#my body is irritated by both! the gelatin capsule of the iron bothers my throat and the tretinoin turns my skin pink#we were talking about how materials can add meaning to 'meaningless' marks. so there's that#my mind pretty quickly went to my meds. so i've opened up capsules and dissolved tablets in water#when i was younger i would perform 'experiments' on rocks by seeing if anything dissolved from them in water#there was one rock i called a 'mars rock' because it was red. it was also very porous and light#so i'd put it in water and watched how it bubbled as the water turned red too!#safe to say it probably had a high iron content. which makes it nice to call back to that by using iron dissolved in liquid for this projec

I saw this pose while looking for inspiration and immediately thought of this audio
"Jon it pains me to say this but, please come to my office as I require your assistance I am- too stoned to move"
(My art)
#every so often i create masterpieces#and this is one of them#yes i used power director no i will not buy it to get the water mark off and no i dont know how to use other video editing apps#elias bouchard#hes so high he fell out of his chair#what a twink#tma#the magnus archives#gay#pot head elias#jonah magnus#jonny magma#i was gonna make the phone one of those early 2000s ones that were shapes but i couldn't figure out what to make it#ya know how they could be like cats or hamburger shaped#mosss art

Mike Snowden (Louisville, Kentucky) has a definite ear and knack for beautiful power pop. Just listen to "In Landscape", his first physical release (in a 11 year recording career) - I can hear Matthew Sweet, Game Theory, and Eugene McGuinness.
Snowden's Bandcamp descriptor mentions Big Star, Cheap Trick and the Elephant 6 collective.
This appears to be self-released. I looked up Mike Snowden on Discogs and found one who played with The High Water Marks. I'm guessing this is that Mike Snowden.

we ran out of desks so today I am climbing into the windowsill of the campus's oldest building to use it for a chair
#news from the cupola#high water mark of midwestern and collegiate activities at the midwestcollege today#currently experiencing somewhat mixed feelings about showing up to fancy museum class with sloppy amputation diagrams written on my arms#but so be it! sometimes it goes like that and I don't particularly feel like scrubbing it all off just to make a better impression

All things considered, Salem having millions of years wandering around in a haze was probably not necessarily a bad thing.
Because as much as her situation might have sucked, it at least would have given her time to process and think about things, to try to reach some kind of stable state.
Not a GREAT state of mind, but a stable state.
By contrast Ozma kinda just got thrown into the deep end of things, and his zealotry combined with all of the doubts, confusion, and basically everything about the God of Light...
i mean. i would imagine she spent a considerable amount of that time not at all lucid; people famously do not cope well with solitary isolation even over a period of weeks, and salem was profoundly traumatized even before she became the sole survivor of a worldwide genocide and was then left completely alone for millions of years.
i think the only reason she’s sane now is she also had, by virtue of being immortal, quite probably thousands of years of being around people again—even if at a remove, as i’ve noted before, the paved road to her doorstep implies that she was in regular peaceful contact with people for quite some time—and thus had time to recover, or at least get to a point where she could function by the time ozma came back.
(something to consider too is like—how much of what ozma perceived or suspected as being lies or secret-keeping was actually just salem not being able to coherently tell him what happened, between it being millions of years ago and separated from the present by a huge span of time during which the endless isolation was fucking with her mind? like. even in the present she doesn’t talk very much, and if 6.4 is any indication her occasional grandiose speeches™️ take a lot out of her, emotionally. add in the part where she’s spent the last few thousand years not contesting ozma’s narrative at all and the way she emotionally shuts down when ruby upsets her and yang tries to provoke her… and just how bad she is as explaining herself when she does try (for cinder, in v5) because she talks in circles around what she means… like. i do strongly get the impression that she finds articulating what’s in her head to be pretty difficult in general; every time a conversation turns on her in a direction she didn’t Prepare a Speech for she at best goes 😐 and stops talking and at worst jabs at the other person’s emotional vulnerabilities to make them stop talking, or when that fails with cinder resorts to threats.)
(<- this is why i don’t get the master manipulator angle with her at all; she’s manipulative but she’s also remarkably bad at it despite how old she is, and that’s because she seems to rely pretty heavily on scripts to communicate. and that’s how we get situations like cinder winning the power struggle in v8.)
anyway i really think most of her serious Introspection and Processing of what happened to her and what she wants probably began during the ozlem kingdom when she had like. close relationships and a reason to live, and subsequently the inescapable threat of living through a second extinction to focus on. prior to that i figure that at most she clung to 1. the gods are monsters, and 2. she does not deserve the suffering they inflicted on her.
#I Do Not Think She Was Okay#i think what we see in the present is.#honestly probably near the high water mark#meanwhile ozma’s core issue is he wasn’t Brutally Disabused of his faith in the gods so he’s out here playing eliphaz in a haze of pain

Yuletide on AO3 is pretty much the only time I read fanfic. It's become a bit of a Boxing Day tradition, and early impressions from this year's list are justifying it. This is where you get the really fun and creative and silly little stories from extremely niche fandoms. I've barely looked and already found Tolkien/"The Moon Is Haunted" crossover fic. Multiple cute-looking Uncle Gard/Cornelia fics. You just can't get stories like this so conveniently anywhere else.
#random thought of the day#i think my yuletide high-water mark might be the little women historical fantasy fic#where jo and amy's artistic talents have magical effects#and they grow both as people and artists#no idea if the fic itself was actually any good but the concept is the essence of the kind of thing i want from yuletide

the number of times that I've been actively researching a scientific topic in preparation for writing a sci-fi story that incorporates that topic
and then brand new info on that topic is released into the scientific community. while I'm in the midst of reading up on it
is too damn high, and honestly starting to get a little spooky
#this week's example isn't nearly so ridiculous as the time I had to reload the wikipedia article I was in the middle of reading#because Stephen Fucking Hawking had released a new paper *since I opened the wiki article two days earlier*#that changed the whole fucking understanding of the field#that's still the high water mark in my ongoing saga of 'why is science doing this to me I'm just trying to write science fiction'#by comparison this week's is pretty minor#'oh you wanna get back into research for a story that involves a massive solarstorm? HOW WOULD YOU LIKE A MASSIVE SOLARSTORM RIGHT TF NOW?'#this happens to me. so often. I don't even know what to think any more.#at least there are lots of new articles to read and videos to watch I guess???#dear universe: thank you for the science research help. please stop being spooky#or at least restrain your spookiness to spooky action at a distance#or. wait. maybe that's what this is#maybe it's all spooky action at a distance lmao#maybe I should put down the solarstorm research and get back into the quantum physics research#at some point I do actually need to write all these stories#tagtalking#2024 mood#2015 mood#process thoughts

i have zero (0) time or energy to write so of course now is when my brain brings me an au of my hyperfixation
#m#pirate au#tormenting me!!!!!!!#there's secondary characters now! with storylines!!! who are you!!#but captain Sasha marked by the sea from birth 🥺 quartermaster faithless Neesh who lives to debate her captain's beliefs#austen-based stoic disgraced ex high-ranking marine turned pirate tresurer who the crew distrusts and think will sell them out#to the british navy for a shilling. but he's loyal to the tomb and the only one Aasha trusts with the money#(Anetra included sorry Neesh you have sticky fingers in this one)#side pregnancy storyline which means a detour from the planned route#so the little blessing can be born somewhere with a midwife and hot water (and maybe be dropped off there who knows)#vibrating PIRATE AU#writing tag#d
