#The Pharmacists

[bandcampsnoop]

9/20/24.

Reckoner (Los Angeles, California) play a more polished soul-punk. Led by vocalist Jennie Cotterill (ex-Bad Cop/Bad Cop) and featuring members from Fireworks, Alice Bag Band, this 2 song 7" charges out of the gate with sounds reminiscent of Sheer Mag, Royal Headache and Ted Leo & the Pharmacists. This is fist-pumping, anthemic, melodic punk.

Double Helix Records is releasing this. I'm not really sure why they're not selling physical copies on Bandcamp, but you can find the 7" through their shop on Hello Merch.

the allergy i am seeing grow up around small talk in any form is troubling to me. do you know how to make friends with people in your physical environment? it typically starts with small talk. do you want to live in community? small talk. do you want to have the type of relationship with your neighbors where you can run over and borrow a battery for your smoke detector when it starts beeping at 10pm? small talk!! do you want leeway from your coworkers when you fuck up something small? you gotta be able to build a relationship and that's small talk, baybeee.

"but i don't need friends and i don't care about community!" okay, lone ranger, what about the people in your community who need you? "but i have social anxiety!" me too, bud! we simply must soldier on. making up lists of questions to ask people helps. and people are predisposed to be generous, i've found. even if you make some kind of mistake, what is this but the natural give and take of human interaction? nobody is perfect.

you were not put on this earth to live by yourself and then die. you need people and people need you. treat those around you with curiosity and generousness of spirit and you will gain so much goodwill in return.

"adhd is the easiest disability to have" “sure plenty of people have adhd but most people are faking” “people are abusing the resources that WE need so that’s why i can’t get my adderall!”

there has been an artificial shortage of all adhd medication for the past 4 years in the US. every investigation into this shortage has returned with the unequivocal result that simply nobody thinks we need it enough to solve the problem.

so they point fingers at the “faker” gaming the system to get adderall who “thinks” they have adhd or is “abusing stimulants to get ahead” for a problem that Our system MANUFACTURED.

so we would be at each others throats instead of realizing that our government and big pharma is to blame for all of this. because their First priority is to punish addicts and to punish folks with adhd and to punish anyone who relies on medication. over everything else. even over profit.

[uagh, my head]

[...]

[my...head?]

[....mine...my....I...me]

[...]

[Your head hurts, it's pounding. You very slightly open your eyes and]

[oh]

[there's blood.]

[you're lying in a pool of blood. Some of it is on your head...drip drip dripping down your face.]

[some of it isn't yours]

[you're just barely able to lift yourself off the ground. It smells terrible. Like an awful concoction of flesh and sanitary alcohol. The ground...it's colder than before. This is not the same floor as the one you fell on.]

[you...recognize this place. It's in worse condition but...yes...yes you remember]

[I... remember]

[that girl. In the back. This is where you found her before-]

[oh god. The blood and her memory. You hated the implications.]

[that corner, where she sat. She seemed so lonely...The thought of her tired eyes and small composure...]

[...that corner, a machine. It's blade doused in blood. It hasn't been cleaned]

[....a meat grinder?]

[your eyes widened at the thought. You quickly covered your mouth and shook your head, trying to rid yourself of the disgusting thought...]

[..Finally, you arise. Your legs are shaky, your head and hair damp with blood and cold sweat. What the hell are you doing here? How did you get here..?]

[you recollect what happened....Did she hit you over the head, or did you pass out? Perhaps, your head hit the floor too hard. Whatever it was, it didn't matter now. Now, your priority was to get ou-]

You're awake.

[..the pharmacist. She looked so oddly bleak. So...empty]

Took you long enough..he..haha...

[ah, that smile. But it just wasn't the same. Her eyes were narrowed, her arms in her coat pocket. She continued to chuckle]

Haha...heha....you really...really couldn't let this go, huh?

"..."

"..What did you to her."

hmph...I thought I told you before. She's dead...you know, I hate repeating myself. It's so fucking annoying. I fucking hate it.

Yeah, sure, I've kinda enjoyed all this. But do you know how much of an annoying little brat you are..? For fucks sake, and to think...I wanted to help you.

"H-help..?"

"are you being serious right now?! Help?! Since when has what you're doing been help!?"

...hm. I don't think I want to answer that.

[She moved off the wall, and starting to circle around you. You felt trapped]

"No-No that's not how it works. You've ruined my li-"

What life?

[She turned her head to you, inching closer]

What sort of life have you lived? What life are you remembering, hm? You don't have a life, not anymore. You're life isn't yours. Both of us. We do not live, we don't have lives.

mm...haha...

[She turned to the machine, putting her finger inside and swiping the blood off of the blades. She put her thumb in her mouth, wiping her mouth]

This life, wasn't alive either.

[You felt physically sick. You were fighting the urge to throw up, right there and then. You're fists clenched]

[You had so many questions....]

[Your eyes drifted towards the machine, a shiver down your spine following along. You swiftly looked behind you towards the corner of the room, thinking of that girl]

It was a wonderful day. I went to the exam and I had not even finished the material. I felt terrified and afraid. Then I thought, what is the worst that could happen? Why am I so nervous? So I decided to relax and just let things happen. I reviewed what I had read and took the exam. When I finished, I was not sure about anything, but... I said, let it not be my fault that he suddenly added two lectures, so I gave it to them and left when I left I heard everyone was saying that most of the choices were A and D. I was shocked and happy, so another exam ended well ! ... Now I have pharmaceutical accounts on Wednesday. I will study today

So !:

1.sleep for two hours

2.Study the first lecture

3.Study the second lecture

4.wash my clothes

Phineas and Ferb, Night of the Living Pharmacists (S4: E44)

[trans-ralsei]

she's completely buried

[andhumanslovedstories]

jesus christ, I'm not surprised my pharmacy is telling me I'll get my adderall refill by, lemme check, November 30th wow cool great, but they keep pushing back my prozac refill as well. I've been out of prozac for three days, they say it'll be filled by tomorrow, but they originally said it would be filled by yesterday. And I've just returned to work. It's like I'm getting a midterm on how well I've learned to manage my brain.

Before Ted Leo + The Pharmacists there was Chisel. This band was formed by three Notre Dame (South Bend, Indiana) students in the mid 1990s. And yes, Ted Leo was one of the three.

I'm a big Ted Leo fan, and I'd never heard of Chisel, but upon listening to "Set You Free" (originally issued on Gern Blandsten, and soon to be reissued by Numero Group) I can hear the songwriting and sound that would later become associated with Ted Leo. Listen to "The O.T.S." or "Morley Timmons" - really listen to any song here.

You can hear a bit of Green Day and Soul Asylum. Here and there you can hear the pub rock sounds of early Nick Lowe.

Chisel will be embarking on a Winter/Spring tour. In February 2023 they'll be in San Francisco for Noise Pop.

disabled people should not have to spend their time calling around to different pharmacies to figure out who can provide them their medication.

Reasons why Night of the Living Pharmacists is the best P&F special:

Phinabella content and Isabella just genuinely being a badass

Isabella. Just literally everything she does in this special is perfect and iconic and girl boss.

Candace and Vanessa’s friendship

Doof being a fantastic dad as usual

Buford just being iconic (him panicking at the house/I JUST LOST MY NERD IM NOT GOING TO LOSE THE REST OF MY FRIENDS TOO/i am soooo in love with her rn

The fireside girls (Gretchen especially my queen)

Triangulation/jump right to it

The lots of me remix

The giant floating baby head getting doofified

“I like to tinker* that’s a silly way to tell your daughter’s friend’s little brother ur an evil scientist

The Perry and doof BROmance

again phinebella

Doof and Buford screaming yippee kayay and running around as bait after the people closest to them get doofified (Baljeet, Perry, and Vanessa)

Episodes where the kids interact with Doof are always superior

STACY’S ENTIRE FUCKING PLOTLINE IT WAS SO SO GOOD AND SO FUNNY SHE WAS THE FINAL PERSON NOT DOOFIFIED AND SHE DIDNT EVEN KNOW IT

Edit: I CANT BELIEVE I FORGOT DOOF’S CALLBACKS TO BUFORDS STUFF IN YOUR FACE LOGIC
