Lifeguard — Crowd Can Talk/Dressed in Trenches (Matador)
Dressed in Trenches by Lifeguard
Lifeguard, from Chicago, makes a blistering post-hardcore racket, channeling chaotic, noisy energy into rigorously disciplined forms. This extremely young trio—guitarist Kai Slater, bassist Asher Case and drummer Isaac Lowenstein were all in high school when they started playing together—have a firm grip on rock history, bringing the irregular architectures of Fugazi, the unruly blare of Unwound and the blinding guitar skree of pre-Daydream Sonic Youth together in an arresting way.
Lifeguard records quickly and frequently, laying down singles and EPs typically in a day or so. For a band birthed during the pandemic, it was the only way to keep track of how their sound was evolving. They made a full-length cassette, Dive, in 2020, then three EPs in 2020 and 2021. This recording, their first on Matador, combines their most recent EP, Crowd Can Talk, with the five news songs from Dressed in Trenches. Though the songs span a bit less than a year, you can hear these artists in the process of figuring out their sound.
The (slightly) older material favors the noisier elements of their art, the screech of guitar feedback, the decaying buzz of bass pushed into the red, the thwack, thwack, thwack of unadorned drums, the clangor of two boys shouting cryptic phrases at each other. Yet there’s a form to these onslaughts, an undeniable sense to the way they’re put together. “I Know I Know” is violent but tinged with aching tenderness. “Fifty Seven” chops up phrases into oddly shaped, math-y portions, yet slips some poetry into the way Slater’s voice intersects with bristling aggression. To me, “Typecast,” sounds the most like Fugazi, exploding in off-kilter, unexpected bursts of drum and guitar; the two bands have a fierce complexity in common.
The new songs tilt more anthemic, albeit in a minimalist way. “17-18 Lovesong” runs itself continually into a wall of noise, guitars pulling up as they crash into cement. Its chant of alphabet letters (“C-N-S-A”) has a desolate dystopian vibe, but the instruments rain bright, nearly giddy fire around them. You may have heard that Asher Case’s dad is Brian Case from FACS, and in this one, you can definitely hear the family resemblance. “Tell Me When” pumps up the density of Lifeguard’s sonics, drums rumbling in continuous panic, guitar tones prisming in rainbow arcs of distorted sound, the bass nodding underneath, satisfied with what has been done. Here’s where you can hear the clearest echoes of Sonic Youth, though, Lifeguard has its own intensity and timbre.
This is an impressive statement from a band that’s still forming itself. Its sound is distinctive and compelling, but still audibly shifting as they go. It’s hard to imagine where they might end up ten or even five years out, but my guess is it’ll be someplace cool and very different from where they are now.

Whenever fanfiction has Dean say he hates Cas’s coat or thinks it's stupid or ugly and he wants to see Cas out of it as soon as possible I simply must disagree. He kept that thing for a whole year full of rank water. He saw Cas back in his usual getup and gotar bonar. Dean loves cartoons. He loves costumes. He loves Cas’s coat.
#he wants to jerk off on it. who said that.#he wants to jerk off on it both on the outside (marking his territory) and on the inside (intimate and defiling.).#he wants to wear the coat and nothing else and jerk off and then give it back to Cas while it's still warm from his body.#idk who said that must have been the wind#this is a passing thought I haven't seen this recently#Dean does ALSO very much enjoy seeing Cas dressed up but he LOVES base Cas who wears the same outfit every day#am i projecting because I always dismiss when cas is described in other clothes and imagine him in the trench coat anyway. yes.#but there is textual evidence that dean likes the coat#also his 'you think it's crappy 🥺' 'eye of the beholder' comment#even if he DID think Cas's coat was lame. which he doesn't!!! he could never say it to him

Controversial opinion: Cima looks hotter in her military uniform than in her civilian attire. She looks good in anything, but uniform suits her better.
#gundam#mobile suit gundam#stardust memory#gundam 0083#0083 rebellion#mobile suit gundam 0083#cima garahau#i might be biased#but sometimes people look hotter when they're fully dressed#her trench coat is iconic#and even without it she looks great

Pallette nr 2 + your favorite childhood cartoon character!
thank you alex! i finally got the motivation to go back and finish this one up!
I'm cheating a little bit because I was fully in high school when this came out, but none of my other ideas were sparking joy so I went with it. Carmen Sandiego from the 2019 netflix reboot :) The palette ended up working great for her!
I really liked the show, my brother and I watched it together and we enjoyed how complex the story was (even though it was still going for the educational geography angle). And the style it's animated in was really pretty! I love the stylized way they always animate her coat blowing in the wind.
(prompt from this color palette challenge)
#stars art#ask game answers#color palette challenge#carmen sandiego#carmen sandiego netflix#fun fact i did dress up as her for halloween one year#as i got older my halloween costumes leaned more and more towards baby's first cosplay lol#i got a red hat and trench coat which i think i still have altho im sure neither of them fit me#i don't know if/when i will get to the other color palette asks but here's hoping!#im glad i got unstuck on this one i really like how it came out

agent is created by @tofudemaru
#meepo art#penguinronpa#club penguin#agent penguinronpa#dot the disguise gal#dotgent#friend ocs#yes i'm in the dotgent trenches again#this time it's a drawing inspired by a fic me and friends wrote in frantic fanfic!#also with dot being a designer i'm surprised no one has drawn something like this. to my knowledge at least lmao#dot should be allowed to play dress up with her partners!! (and by partners i mean any penguin you ship her with. it doesn't matter)#also jacketless dot again!

some old ass subject delta doodles. ive changed his face a bit since ive drawn these, but i figured id finally release these into the wild anyway
and teeny fambily
#bioshock 2#subject delta#johnny topside#the face mask thing was meant to be like.#so he cant turn his head while the helmet is on#and i was thinking about what delta's got under his suit#and i figured that the early models (like himself) would have a layer of padding underneath#the straps on his limbs/hands/fingers are like. anchor points for his suit to latch onto#so things dont slide around in battle or while welding#and then i put him in inconspicuous civilian clothing#nobody will suspect a thing#7 ft tall man and his hoard of daughters dressed in a trench coat only speaks whale#most normal guy on the block everything's fine#the guy next to trench coat delta is there for scale. but im not sure what i was scaling tbh#the faces are the old designs#ill get around to sharing the newer ones eventually

The Harkers should get to have a daughter as well as a son (because Jonathan would be an excellent girl dad) because a well educated, intelligent young lady who knows multiple languages, was raised on telecommunications technology, and had to watch her older brother go to war without being legally able to follow him into the trenches or even old enough to until the war had stretched on for over two years? A Harker??
Anyways here’s a completely unrelated article
#I say legally but it was not the law preventing her from cross dressing into the trenches immediately so much as her parents Refusing#she argued them to 18 and then took off as a Grown Adult#for the sake of this AU there’s a British telecommunications womens unit that works with the US one#or she just has Mina’s psychic rizz and [redacted] her way in without people questioning too much#the Hello Girls are such an interesting group they were deployed in active war zones#one time the building caught fire and operations went down and they were told to evacuate; hour later comms are back up like ‘no :)’#dracula#dracula daily#jonmina#I’m tagging her as#Lucy Harker
