Okay Wolfblood house again.

Rn I'm thinking about two things, number one: Wolfbloods generally remember things when they're changed by the full moon. We know that with time and training, they can change at will, and we can definitely infer that memories are better kept that way. Rhydian doesn't remember much from his traumatic first turn versus Maddy remembering everything from hers. The Smiths scold Maddy for her staying up late and hitting Emma on the face with a shoe.

I just think that's an important piece of detail and a really neat choice that contradicts the traditional rampaging werewolf tropes because, like Maddy says: "we aren't monsters.'

Second thought.

It can't only be woldbloods, right? If the moon has such a deep magical and physiological ability on an entire species. Who's to say there aren't more? Now I'm not talking vampires. I'm mainly thinking things like Selkies or Mermaids, but that's purely because I like multiple secret populations doing such a good job at it that they don't know of eachothers existence. But you can very well ignore this second thought it's really nothing.

Pulp Live Show Review: 9/8, Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom, Chicago

BY JORDAN MAINZER

Pulp has never been in a rush. Their most recent album came out 23 years ago. The last time they toured the US was 2012, the year they played Coachella, and even that "tour" was a couple dates on each coast. Jarvis Cocker performed at Pitchfork Music Festival way back in 2008, but the band hadn't played a proper show in Chicago since the 90s. Safe to say, last Sunday, a sold out Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom was eagerly anticipating the quartet's emergence on a stage at an ancient venue whose age is only about three times the number of years since the last Pulp show in Chicago.

Of course, in true sardonic fashion, as the lights dimmed, we were greeted with a screen with hilarious words that alternated between straightforward and facetious: "Good evening...This is a night you will remember for the rest of your life...This is the 552nd concert by Pulp," and so on. Yes, even their idea of entertainment is buried within the glory of the mundane. The band (keyboardist Candida Doyle, drummer Nick Banks, guitarist Mark Webber, and touring musicians Andrew McKinney, Emma Smith, and Adam Betts) finally walked on the stage sans Cocker, though you could hear his unmistakable deadpan launch into "I Spy" coming from behind the stage setup. From the moment he graced the crowd with his presence--as gangly and expressive as ever--Cocker was in show mode, both actively and passively. He vogued along to every song, almost in time with the guitar riffs on "Sunrise". He sang while lying down during "Weeds", but stood and gained more energy as it built up and slowed down into "Weeds II (The Origin of the Species)" and an unexpected segue into a song from a different album, "F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E." As if to recall the dour noir of its iconic video, he performed the beginning of "This Is Hardcore" from a lounge chair. And he was genuine, too, dedicating "Something Changed" to late bassist Steve Mackey and the late, great Steve Albini, who produced Cocker's 2009 solo album Further Complications.

What really struck me, though, was how dynamic the band was. Beyond standout instrumental moments--the plinking keyboard line of "Pink Glove", the intertwining guitar and bass melodies of "Babies"--I've never thought of Pulp as a live band that would be particularly instrumentally exciting. I was wrong. Their use of effects on songs like "Sorted for E's & Wizz" was so all-encompassing it sounded like the noises were coming from the crowd itself, as if you were on the very drugs whose culture the song lambasts. "Babies" changed tempo seamlessly, emphasizing the twangy guitars during verses and rocketing into a gallop during the chorus. "Common People", of course, sped up and slowed down as Cocker introduced the band during a long interlude, the announcement of every name accompanied by brief rousing power chords and drums that, each time, toyed you into thinking the band was going to launch back into the song.

"Common People" finally ended, the third song played during the encore. It's the band's best known and arguably best song. Show over, right? Well, Pulp came back out for what was the most unexpectedly exciting part of the night: the potential for new music. They debuted "Spike Island", a new disco-indebted song with slide guitar, before ending the night with the one-two punch of "Razzmatazz" and "Glory Days". Looking at their more recent setlists, Pulp has debuted at least two new songs during their second encore. Maybe--hopefully--their current tour is more like an intermission.

One Week - Barenaked Ladies (Vintage ‘40s Jazz Cover) feat. Emma Smith

[shakespearenews]

Confronted with one of the most famous silences in the canon, Isabella’s non-reply to the Duke’s proposal of marriage at the end of Measure for Measure, Walter swerves to choose a different emphasis. Shakespeare’s devastatingly short exchange, when Isabella threatens to reveal her violator and Angelo replies “who will believe thee, Isabel?” is here expanded into a transhistorical soliloquy addressed to modern audiences “who will believe my story”. The poem ends with an evocation that is part Viola offering to build a willow cabin at Olivia’s gate, part Lear in the storm, and part sonnet 29 troubling “deaf heaven with my bootless cries”. The pleasure of this collection is the display of a deeply Shakespearean allusive facility that draws effortlessly on a long career of actorly absorption.

Pulp at Kings Theatre

On Friday, September 13, 2024, Pulp continued their first North American tour since 2012 with the first night of a two night stand at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, NY. The Britpop band performed old songs and one new one. The full gallery from their wonderful show is now live on Impose Magazine here.

I’ve been a fan of the band since the 90s and I’m so grateful that I finally experienced their live show, sang along all night, and got to document it.

I'm in your walls Emma oOoOoO

But uhh

Yeah, we don't need to talk about him, guy who "adopted" him's a bit of an asshole

In our experience nine times outta ten someone who's voice is pink is a horrible person who deserves to die from a thousand paper cuts and have salt rubbed in the wounds and suffer unspeakable horrors in the afterlife too, Henry's not the one of the ones who doesn't deserve that

-🍋

Oh that’s really intense….

“Pink… pink bad. Got it. Shame, because pink is a really nice color.”

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO @starkitters!!!

I wanted to do some art of a hanging-out activity Amber and Emma could do together, and I thought roller skating would be fun! Emma has skated before so she has a little bit better sense of what she’s doing - unfortunately Amber has zero balance on wheels and is probably gonna wipe out a bunch of times lolll

sorry again this is so late! hope you had an amazing birthday!!

More about Isaac, these are his colleagues at Logos Corp:

Elijah is older then him whilst Emma is younger

Despite how energetic Emma and Elijah can be together, they’re Isaac’s only (until Ronnie) friends. The three of them are basically family (classic found family trope I know-)

In the few years that the three of them have known each other, they have gotten up to many antics.
