~Little Things Like You~

[charbroiledchicken]

reading my writing is like playing 'spot the reference!' because i keep subconsciously sprinkling in little nods to my favourite things. its not obvious or anything but if someone knew anything about the media they would be like:

"why the fuck are you referencing crimson rivers people are dying...yep, and there's the shrek quote. "

Wally Darling (Welcome Home)

Some songs that remind me of Wally Darling. I’ll be sure to update it over time.

This playlist might be one of my longest.

⚠️Spoilers Ahead ⚠️

———————————————

Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You by Frankie Valli (I don’t think I need to explain this one, also puns)

Won’t You Be My Neighbor? By Mr. Rogers (again, I don’t think I need to explain this one)

It’s You I Like by Mr. Rogers

Under The Wool by K-Modo (again, self explanatory)

Beautiful Dreamer by Roy Orbison (again, self explanatory)

Im Looking For A Friend by Mr. Rogers (I can imagine Wally singing this about Barnaby, and I find that, in his own words, just the absolute most!)

Paint It Black by The Rolling Stones

I Lost Something In The Hills by Sibylle Baier (Reminds me of this one guestbook response he wrote)

Tomas and Vlad drawing based of this song

I can't hear you puppet boy now dance dance dance

[illogicallyodd]

Some art based off the song “puppet boy” (by Devo) & the puppet arc. If you think about it, Ghost turning into a puppet is pretty great symbolism for him essentially being a puppet for Jimmy Casket.

[fullmusicbardsquared]

Are there any other characters of note in Vinyl Hell :0?

hm, it depends on your definition of 'of note'- most of the characters disappear in and out but i'll talk about the more plot-instigator ones - and you can probably tell i am somewhat struggling with the mid-plot

idk if you saw allay's ask a few minutes ago um . the smart patrol are a group of 3 kids (like 10) who basically mistake the jester for a villain they fight and try to, well, fight him. they end up hitting his face and he gets knocked out and then they get bored and leave. this starts his transformation into a doll.. (they're from a devo song called smart patrol / mr dna)

when the jester is halfway between 'human' and doll, he meets seireeni (she's the devo song puppet boy). she basically tries to convince him to hang around with her and perform for crowds- and also realizes he isn't from the new wave world and tells him. she's silly but i haven't decided how yet

Farris is actually going to be important i promise . she's based on the great curve, a talking heads song from Remain In Light, a song about / with a theme of spirituality and divinity. i dont really know how to sum it up and i honestly just suggest listening to it . in contrast to most of the characters she is aware of the 'looping' nature of the musical world, and mostly views it as a freeing positive thing. this awareness will be important i just Don't Know How Yet also due to being from remain in light she is Gittens's sister

Okay this one require a bit of explanation. because i forgit to say it before.

the jester isn't a human guy. he's from the prog rock dimension. he's that yellow jester mentioned in like, 3 lines of in the court of the crimson king yayyyy. he doesn't remember this At First but, well... he will eventually encounter characters (i have not decided What Song Yet) who are going to be from king crimson songs- NEW WAVE ERA. yeah they dabbled in new wave at one point. YAY

i think that's all . i hope these make sense :-]D

[terribledactyl]

YOU. I want Numbers 7, 17, 27, 78 and 87. Full spread all years + lyrics the WORKS. if you want to anyway.

OKAY. Sorry this took a minute. I was tempted to write which alter playlists certain songs show up on but this would mean nothing to anyone and will just be additional info available on request! I will always gladly explain my alters’ character playlists.

2024

7: Monster Song (Demo) - Dom Fera

For this one, I really like the chorus. The moon’s not burning through my skin tonight / so maybe that’s never been true / and the view’s not different when you think you’re right / and the lake is nothing but blue

17: Tongues and Teeth - The Crane Wives

I know that you mean so well / but I am not a vessel for your good intent

27: PERCEPTION CHECK - Tom Cardy

Fuck, his body’s just lying there, right? / right? / yes (don’t)

78: Sleep Now In The Fire - Rage Against the Machine

This one I don’t really have a favorite lyric, it’s just a banger. Cop-out, I know

87: This Ain’t A Scene, It’s An Arms Race - Fall Out Boy

Bandwagon’s full / please catch another

2023

7: Start Again - Sam Tsui

We love, we lose / and we think the best defense is distance

17: Talk Too Much - COIN

Honey come put your lips on mine / and shut me up

27: What’s My Age Again? - blink-182

They don’t make homophobia like this anymore and at least they’re not as pussy as Taylor Swift to try and hide that they were homophobic in the aughts. I said I was the cops and your husband’s in jail / the state looks down on sodomy

78: When Did Your Heart Go Missing? - Rooney

I find the lyrics “I treat you like a princess / but your life is just one big mess” very stimmy to sing

87: Puppet Boy - DEVO

I can’t hear you puppet boy / now dance dance dance

2022

7: I Miss You - blink-182

👍

17: Laplace’s Angel (Hurt People? Hurt People!) - Will Wood

Run your diagnostic tests, it’s posited nobody dies agnostic / but we still dial 9-1-1

27: Newton’s First - The Altogether

Just existing ain’t enough / so when it comes to my own birthday / I’ll forgo the bags of stuff / for a chance to prove I’ve earned them / just a fork a knife and cup / so I can eat my words and swallow all my pride

78: 9 to 5 - Dolly Parton

i looped this in my car at starbucks during my lunch after a customer yelled at me and i cried for the entire thirty minutes. That’s more important than a favorite lyric

87: Helena - My Chemical Romance

I wrote a poem based on a combination of this song, the song Gloomy Sunday, and my own psychosis. This also is more important than a favorite lyric. Here’s the poem

2021

7: This Is War - Ben Kweller

Also no favorite lyric cuz it’s just a banger

17: Dear Dictator - Saint Motel

Not too late to say you’re sorry / but it’s too late to truly mean it

27: Fences - Paramore

You’re always on display / for everyone to watch and learn from

78: Going Home Again - This Way To The Egress

Our motor has died, we rely on the mercy of the wind / one day we’ll realize the end is where we begin

87: Not the Villain - S. J. Tucker

As an individual alter I must say I do like this song, especially the lines “You may call my truest name and fling it to the floor” and “you’d think this was the ending; we both have come so far / it’ll break your heart how very much alike we are”

2020

7: I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) - Whitney Houston

No favorite lyric this song is 100% banger I’ll take Zero criticism

17: Lemon Boy - Cavetown

I found out my friends are more of the savory type / and they weren’t too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie

27: Grand Theft Autumn / Where Is Your Boy - Fall Out Boy

Someday I’ll appreciate in value / get off my ass and call you / the mean time, I’ll sport my brand new fashion / of waking up with pants on at four in the afternoon

78: Boys Don’t Cry - The Cure

No favorite lyric, just a song I like

87: King of Anything - Sara Bareilles

This one has no favorite lyric because I enjoy almost every lyric

2019

7: Under Pressure - Queen, David Bowie

love’s such an old fashioned word / and love dares you to care for / the people on the edge of the night

17: Twin Sized Mattress - The Front Bottoms

With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay / you said “hey man I love you but no fucking way”

27: feelings are fatal - mxmtoon

I need to let go and I swear that I’ve tried / but opening up means trusting others / and that’s just too much, I don’t want to bother

78: The Way You Look Tonight - Frank Sinatra

I don’t have a favorite lyric because this song is best enjoyed by remembering what it’s like to be twelve with a budding personality disorder

87: Troublemaker (feat. Flo Rida) - Oly Murs, Flo Rida

I first heard this song in a 2p!hetalia MEP and it cemented itself in my musical lexicon to be played periodically ever since. It transcends favorite lyrics. Here

[pastabeer]

Got tea, time for musical worms again.

Tree Hugger by Kimya Dawson & Antsy Pants, specifically because one part is about a snake wanting arms to hug a cactus. The want to give affection goes against the dislike for affection or physical contact, extra points for if the one who dislikes the affection is touch starved :)

The Red Means I Love You by Madds Buckley, it's mostly obsessive in a way, plus it's most just based on a character who drinks blood. Not a big fan of anime, but that song is nice.

Puppet Boy by DEVO, it's like The Fine Print to me, that in itself started an idea like the AI idea, but it's just worm Anon being in the blog like an employee, albeit an unwilling one.

Big Dick by Little Big, this one is a joke, but I feel like it fits the people who want worm sex.

ぴぽぴぽ by Serani Poji, sorta sad when you understand it. Then again, I'm just easy to upset, so that could just be me.

Bonfire by Childish Gambino, it's barely related, I just enjoy the song. Hehe :)

Make of This What You Will by Billy Cobb, sounds like another worm Anon drug trip, and I love it. Seriously, I don't even understand the lyrics but all I know is the lyrics "a sea of yellow fishes that need alcohol to breathe" – "I'm floating through marshmallows with koalas by my side" – "nobody can see me cause I've stolen all their eyes, and if you want them back you'll have to eat McDonald's fries" makes me think of worm Anon, I need whatever they are on.

The Future by Mystery Skulls, for the love of Satan this song is unexplainably worm-coded, mostly worm PastaBeer, in a good way. I would rather publicly commit suicide than say I hate Mystery Skulls, and it won't be a fast suicide.

On the topic of Mystery Skulls, might as well add these.

Hellbent by Mystery Skulls (featuring Snowblood), my unholy HELL that song is fucking amazing and I'm going to shive it onto these fucking worms.

Freaking Out by Mystery Skulls, worm Anon after figuring out they were stuck with a cannibalistic worm. That's all I have to say.

Meant to Be Yours, yes, the Heathers song. Hey, can you blame me? Mentally ill and morally fucked worm trying to convince mentally ill and morally decent worm fighting over whether or not they should blow up some place! One fakes suicide :D

Ms. Led by Jack Stauber, wonky song, but it's actually kind of sad if you think about it, and the lyrics. Like most songs by Jack.

On the topic of Jack Stauber, here's some more probably unrelated songs!

Inchman by Jack Stauber, it's seen as an abusive relationship, so there's some angst, too. Seeing as some lyrics are "hits me, hurts me, wants me hurting wrong!" and such, I can see it.

Windrag by Jack Stauber, it's about a plane crash. It's theorized that the pilot fell asleep, resulting in the crash, seeing as the lyrics say stuff like "I used to listen to the morning, but crash landing came without warning. I really tried my best, but the trip was put to rest, can't sleep now the birds are chirping." most people say that the pilot fell asleep listening to background noise, and when he woke back up, he tried to pull the plane back unti flight. Although the pilot survived, he has to live with the guilt.

Stutter by Jack Stauber, it's just worm Anon in my eyes. They seem like the type to stutter, no offense, I enjoy people who stutter, they can be nice.

As Your Father I Expressly Forbid It by Lemon Demon, worm PastaBeer getting tired of the stupid Hell baby worms... Or worm Anon, we never confirmed the father

The Fox's Wedding by MASA WORKS DESIGN, a forbidden love that is twisted and cannibalistic where the fox lures in prey just to eat them. Seems close enough, yeah? Ignoring the fact that it implies PastaBeer worm seduced worm Anon to eat them, who in return begs to be eaten. Unless you're kinky like that, I can't stop you.

Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths, because mythology is fun. Plus, I enjoy the song itself and thinking of French worms is fun :)

IFHY by Tyler, The Creator and Pharrell Williams, sounds like Bipolar disorder and obsession mixed. Specifically Bipolar disorder, with the eh... "Favorite person" thing and such, can't say shit though, I'm Bipolar. Makes me think of the worms in the idea of Bipolar disorder, although this song in itself just suits the worms in the sense of obsession. The sense I like best, too. Hehe, worms.

The Red Means I Love You is one of my favorites

[pastriibunz]

hi bestie. its me jaqlyn ur mutual. i Am going through a fucked up monika hyperfixation right now and i just realized is that her in your like. banner. because if so ,,,,, based,,, tagts my wife

yes akthully!

[mywifeleftme]

94: Witches Valley // Extreme Return to the Source

Extreme Return to the Source Witches Valley 1990, Auto da fé

Per the hype sheet French distributor Plus Au Sud sent out with review copies of Extreme Return to the Source, this is Witches Valley’s deal (typos retained for verisimilitude):

“WITCHES VALLEY started end of 86 when five young people originating from Louisiane, fed by american pioneer culture and the spirit of the sixtees (mods, garage punk, bad taste or experimental cinema).

With its original line-up (a singer, a guitar player, a choir member and bass girl player, an organ girl player and a drummer), the band succeeds in making a symbiosis between country, hardcore, surf, noisy, and psyche.

On stage WITCHES VALLEY turns its shows into real tribal performances with such of stage as truss of straws and hanged stooges while experimental movies are screened. The five get out of control in a quasi erotic corporal ritual.”

The release then lists a bunch of bands they played with (notably Nomeansno, Vandals, and Lords of the New Church, compares the band to Sonic Youth and the Butthole Surfers, and notes that they “sing about spatial conquest, ancestral stories, river and mountains, murders, Mother Nature… with frenzy.”

So that, in its effusive indie press release-y way, prepares you pretty well for what you can expect from this psychotic French cowpunk (cowcore?) record.

The ‘90s were full of trash culture-obsessed what-the-fuck bands, but Witches Valley were on the bleeding edge when you consider this dropped within a year of Nomeansno’s Wrong, the same year as Primus’ debut, and a year prior to Mr. Bungle’s. At times they sound like each of those bands, or like Yakko from Animaniacs put together a punk band, or even like Deerhoof (when the “bass girl player” is singing anyway), but they also very much have their own style.

Actually, you know what, this review is turning into a comparison fest, so let me just lean into it a minute and get it out of my system:

B-52’s Nomeansno Butthole Surfers Pixies Devo Los Campesinos! (?!) Primus Mr. Bungle Deerhoof Thought Industry Frank Zappa Meat Puppets Bad Brains The Refreshments (King of the Hill theme only) Dead Milkmen Red Hot Chili Peppers Beastie Boys The Gun Club Dirty Milk X Jane’s Addiction Quintron Dead Kennedys

Okay, I feel better! Helluva mood board. So like I said, despite being reminiscent of so many bands, they don’t sound derivative of them per se—all those resonances have more to do with the band changing the channel so fucking often that every song zips through like nine different genres in two to three minutes. They sweeten their bulldozing riffs and hyperactive tempo changes with vintage organ lines, psychobilly drumming, and rubber-faced cartoon vocals. If you’re not immediately put off by the sheer zaniness of it all, your best choice is to simply grab onto the rope and let their speedboat haul you through the interdimensional gator swamp they occupy. It took me some time to warm up to it--any newer LP in my collection while I take on a project that forces me to grind through records at a cracky pace is in for tough sledding, but Witches Valley won me over! The surfy “Idiot James” is an absolute blast, and I would happily mosh myself into a lather if given the chance to catch “The Ride On” at my local DIY.

I really feel like this one is a lost gem for people on this particular weirdo rock tip, and it’s a pretty cheap pickup based on current Discogs prices. I’m glad its spectacularly dumb back cover gave me pause at the shop, and happy to share it with my follower(s).
