Song Review(s): Billy & the Kids with Daniel Donato & Kanika Moore - “Foolish Heart” -> “Scarlet Begonias” (Live, Aug. 16, 2023)

Following the Dead & Company template of giving John Mayer the mic when Oteil Burbridge is on stage, Billy & the Kids ceded “Foolish Heart” to Tom Hamilton while singer Kanika Moore was guesting with the band.

Retaining the original composition’s guitar and keyboard lines and nearly coming apart on the jam as spiraling guitars get looser rather than tighter, this version is messy. Hamilton’s atonal vocals only add to the musical malaise, which ends only when the band locks into a segue based around “Third Stone from the Sun” and the “Scarlet Begonias” reprise. It’s dark, brooding transition that eventually leads to a proper version of the latter with Moore on the mic.

Bright and shiny and full of joy, this “Scarlet” is astonishing. Not only for the way former Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann and his acolytes retain the song’s essence while expanding its sonic palette, but in the contrasting quality between it and “Foolish Heart” on just-released pro-shot video from Maryland on Aug. 16.

Same band.

Different results.

Fox x Neon should be disco biscuits because Fox is named for cookies and Neon likes to party!

*GASP*

YES, I LOVE THAT.

Also, an alternative: Dis-Cookies for the same reasons, hehe.

Thanks for the suggestion! Remember ask box is OPEN for Ship Summaries, Headcannon Requests and Ship Trials!

Song Review: Billy & the Kids - “China Doll” (Live, April 27, 2023)

Molly Tuttle was in the driver’s seat, not only as vocalist but as lead instrumentalist, when Billy & the Kids performed “China Doll” April 27 in New Orleans.

Tuttle sounded entirely comfortable with the Grateful Dead ballad - singing Robert Hunter's words with grace and playing fluid acoustic guitar lines befitting Jerry Garcia’s music with a wise mix of homage and originality.

The rest of Bill Kreutzmann’s band provided supple musical support and channeled the Dead with less-than-ideal backgrounds. It’s a lovely version in spite of the imperfect wobbles and proves bringing Tuttle on board for this one-off gig to have been a sage move.

Hi! For the event I would like to do something with lee!suna and ler!miya twins ehheheh.

My headcannon was that the Miya twins try to tell jokes to see if any one of them can get Suna to smile or laugh. But then they gave up and tried something else to get their fellow teammate to laugh instead.

I hope that’s okay! Have a great day/night!

(Headcanons to Dabbles: OFFICIALLY CLOSED)

Lee!Suna, Lee!Suna, LEE!SUNA AHHHHHHH! :D Oh this is perfection! I've gotcha covered, anon!

CW: swearing!

“Hey, what do you call an emergency joke?”

“A jest in case. You’ve told me this already.” Suna rolled his eyes, trying not to smile at the twin’s collective groans. They’ve been on a comedy high as of late- apparently Kita had a soft spot for bad puns and jokes, leading to the twins believing they were comedy gods.

Suna wasn’t gonna let himself break over the lowest form of comedy.

Even if he had to admit farts sometimes got him.

“Come on, Suna! You have to admit that was a good one!” Osamu whined, trying and failing for a puppy dog stare.

“Stop making that face, you look constipated.” Astumu waved him off, avoiding a swat as he considered their next move. “Okay- try this one out? How do you make an octopus laugh?”

“....” Suna just stared at him. Another bad joke. “Ten-”

“TEN-TICKLES!” The twins both yelled at the top of their lungs, grabbing an arm each and latching tickly fingers into his ribs. Suna startled at the feeling, puffing his cheeks as he tried squirming away. “See? You’re laughing already!”

“Look, he’s gonna smile! He’s gonna laugh!”

Suna was starting to understand why Kita found their jokes funny. “S-Shut up! Gehehet off, you jeheheherks!” He growled, a few giggles slipping out as they focused their energy onto the spaces between his ribs. Atsumu was using a sharp prodding technique, bouncing up and down his side. Osamu on the other hand was far more gentle, pawing at his ribs with curled fingers like a cat making biscuits. “Cuuhuhuht it ohoohohout!”

“He’s laughing! He’s laughing!” The twins cheered in glee, laughing alongside him as they brought him down to a knee. Then two knees. Eventually, Suna was laying half curled on the gymnasium floor while they scratched and prodded at his torso, telling bad jokes the entire time.

“Two cannibals were eating a clown-”

“I went to a sea-food disco!”

“Does this taste funny to you?”

“Mussels!”

Suna felt like he was going to die. Death at the hands of these two idiots and their terrible jokes.

And then- his savior arrived.

“Up you go.” Aran grabbed both of their shirts, lifting the twins off of Suna with ease. “Give the man a break, you two- Suna’s only got two lungs.”

“Ah! Aran! Put us down!” Atsumu cried out, kicking his feet like an entrapped cat.

“Wanna hear some bad jokes?” Osamu offered, grinning when said boy gave him a raised brow.

“Later. Maybe. Practice is over- get your butts home.” Aran released them, shooing them away with a small laugh. He turned back to Suna, offering a hand. “Come on, man- up and at em.”

“Heheh..hehhe..th-thahhanks.” Suna nodded as he was pulled to his feet, his shoulder slapped affectionately.

“No problem.” Aran suddenly grew quiet. Suna was about to ask why when he felt a sudden finger in his upper ribs.

“SHIHIHT!” He yelped, flailing forward before turning with a heavy glare. “Aran, you son of a bitch!”

“Pfft- gehahahahaha!” The older boy cackled, clapping his hands at the reaction. “You really are that ticklish, huh? That’s amazing!” He raised his hands, fingers wiggling. “Suna~”

“Hell no- get back!” The middle blocker ran, leaving behind the sound of Aran’s mirth as he sprinted for home. When he eventually realized he wasn’t being chased, he let out a breathless laugh.

“Bahahstard.” He grunted, no real malice in his tone.

It's kinda wild to me that I haven't seen any posts talking about how two of Louis's most horrifying moments occurred while he was Extremely under the influence of various substances. His consent to be turned into a vampire is dubious for a lot of reasons but I feel like no one ever mentions the fact that he was stumbling, sobbing drunk at the time. And his suicide attempt in 1973 came in the wake of nearly a whole human's volume of blood laced with 10hrs worth of ample uppers and downers combined. Like. There's a lot to talk about Louis's psyche but I just feel like I haven't seen people considering "psychedelics, disco biscuits, angel powders, and young men, almost every night I lived there," in any character analysis. In Dubai this isn't something he makes use of, but I think it is crucial to his character to acknowledge that Louis has struggled with addiction both before and after vampirism (maybe Anne Rice says vamps can't be addicts, idk, but, look at what the show is doing) and that it is imo as important an aspect of his PTSD as his hallucinatory symptoms.

Song Review: Billy & the Kids - “Blow Away” (Live, Oct. 21, 2023)

As difficult as it is to fathom how “Blow Away” made it from a Billy & the Kids rehearsal to the concert stage, it’s even more baffling that Bill Kreutzmann chose to release it on pro-shot video culled from the band’s Halloween night gig in California.

“We blew it away,” Kreutzmann said in a statement that would have been more accurate with the final two words lopped off.

With Aron Magner gruffly screaming the words and the band unsubtly unrolling the music, this Brent Mydland Grateful Dead classic is better left unplayed than desecrated in this manner.

There’s a reason Mydland’s material has remained mostly dormant since the keyboardist’s 1990 death. And it’s all summed up in this appropriately gruesome All Hallow’s Eve slaughtering.
