#W. 25th

10/24/24.

Yes! I've been wanting to post about the "new" release from Patrick Flegel's Cindy Lee (Toronto, Canada) project since I learned that "Diamond Jubilee" had been released digitally back in April.

W. 25th (a sub-label of Superior Viaduct) is releasing a behemoth 3 LP version in February. It's up for pre-order now.

This is one of those releases that will take a long time to digest. There are 32 songs. The band is Cindy Lee. You do the math.

I think this sounds like Deerhunter, Animal Collective, Charlie Megira and Tony Jay channeling The Caretaker. But honestly, there is nothing that really sounds like Cindy Lee. "Diamond Jubilee" definitely has a more structured, melodic feel to it compared to earlier releases.

smth people dont talk about often is the fact Niragi literally LOST HIS EYE. and i could just mention it and never talk about the symbolism but yall know me at this point.

Now, Niragi lost his RIGHT eye. Why is this significant? Well:

Matthew 5:29: "If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one of your members than to have your whole body thrown into Gehenna."

This is super interesting to me for multiple reasons: one, I'm Roman Catholic and tend to find Catholic symbolism within everything, but also because I don't think I'm reaching this time.

During the K♧, Niragi is shown to have some kind of drive for redemption; he wanted to be liked by his teammates, even when he denied it. He wouldn't have brought it up in the first place if he hadn't thought about it to begin with.

This is also significant because, in Matthew 5:29, Jesus is speaking of sexual sin specifically. One of the main sins of Sodom was the rape and sexual assaults being committed there; the city was burned due to men attempting to rape angels of God.

Sound familiar?

It's even more symbolic when you realize that, during the 10♡, Niragi was at the highest point he could possibly be, both physically and emotionally; he was #2 at The Beach, he got a taste of that power, that kingship Aguni held, and, at the time of the confrontation with Chishiya, he was the only militant off the ground.

Again, sound familiar?

Luke 10:18: "Jesus said, 'I have observed Satan fall like lightning from the sky.'"

Keep in mind that Chishiya is not exempt from criticism either. He was literally taking on the role of God here, which in itself, is prideful; it's a sin. Chishiya is not merciful, he is not kind, slow to anger, or patient.

Another thing to note is Borderland is, basically, purgatory. This is the offical Catholic stance on Purgatory:

1031: The Church gives the name Purgatory to this final purification of the elect, which is entirely different from the punishment of the damned. The Church formulated her doctrine of faith on Purgatory especially at the Councils of Florence and Trent. the tradition of the Church, by reference to certain texts of Scripture, speaks of a cleansing fire:

Zachariah 13:9: "I will bring the one third through fire, and I will refine them as silver is refined, and I will test them as gold is tested."

So basically, Purgatory involves a purifying fire; again, sound familar?

Niragi being lit on fire, from a spiritual view, is on-par with being purified of his sins; losing his eye was apart of being purified.

That sexual sin, attempting to rape a woman, who Arisu sees as his own guiding light (similar to a guardian angel), is exactly why Sodom was burned.

He had a short redemption arc, he did, and it's not something that should go unnoticed when it's such an important reason why Arisu's team won the K♧. But, despite all that, he chose his sin above all things.

In the end, he did the exact thing Jesus spoke against of in Matt. 5:29; Niragi would rather go to Hell, his full body and mind, than sacrifice any part of himself for anyone else's sake.

Isn't it just so neat??

Cindy Lee’s What’s Tonight To Eternity

[campbyler]

mike being a 1d girlie is so real. who do you think is his fav member of the band?

let’s just say march 25th 2015 was a dark time in mike wheeler’s adolescence

[pinkpastels113]

help-

Chloe knows that she shouldn’t be enjoying this.

She knows, and yet.

(And yet it feels so good.)

Her fangs sink further into the man’s neck with which she is sucking his blood from. It explodes in her mouth, smoothing over her tongue and sliding down her throat with every long draw from his veins. It feels so good to finally be able to do something about this hunger in her stomach, the almost insatiable desire for human blood that comes around annually without fail on All Hallow’s Eve. 

Especially on someone who deserved it.
