Epes Sargent
Artist: John Singleton Copley (American, 1738-1815)
Date: c. 1760
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, United States
Description
John Singleton Copley, America's most important colonial painter, was born in Boston of Irish parents. In 1748 Copley's widowed mother married Peter Pelham, a painter and engraver. Copley's stepfather probably gave him some art lessons but died when Copley was only 13. In later years the painter claimed he was self–taught.
Copley, who was extremely observant, presumably learned about art largely by watching other English–trained painters who were working in the New World and by studying engravings imported from Europe. Much more important was his innate ability to record details objectively and to suggest character. Gilbert Stuart would later say of the uncompromising realism in Copley's Epes Sargent, "Prick that hand and blood will spurt forth."
About 70 years old when he posed for Copley, Sargent had dropped out of Harvard College to enter business in his native Gloucester. After the death of his first wife, this prosperous merchant and shipowner married a rich widow from Salem. Copley's portrayal shows him nonchalantly leaning on a marble pedestal as a symbol of prestige; since carved stone monuments were rather rare in the colonies, this imaginary device must be borrowed from European prints of potentates.
Such penetrating likenesses made Copley the best–paid artist in colonial America. By shipping some of his canvases to London for criticism, Copley soon became known in England.

The first time Slick's taunting didn't fall on stubbornly deaf ears, Dogma ended up splitting his knuckles open.
It had been a strange affair. He knew how to throw a punch just as well as hitting a target in the shooting range. Had thrown perfectly good punches during long sparring sessions, even. But he supposed there was a great big difference between calculated practice, and just swinging a fist to catch his verbal aggressor in the teeth.
Whatever the case, the medics had been annoyed with him. Rightfully so. It had been an unnecessary wound during another full house night. One he inflicted on himself by aiming for that incessantly aggravating bully's face.
But it had felt good. Little gods did it feel good. That sudden taste of control that he hadn't had the pleasure to have before...
He understood then, why Tup's occasional response to malicious taunts was to hit first and ask questions later. Sometimes ignoring them just didn't work. Most times talking didn't either. And how frustrating it was that it'd taken him that long to fully get that...
But in all honesty, he'd rather not think about his twin at all. Not after what he'd seen and heard in Olly's cam footage. He hadn't been ready to think about just how little Tup the 501st thought of him. Not right then at least.
The moment for that would come one day.
That day Dogma had simply thought about the stunned look on Slick's face, as the shabuir fell on his shebs and glanced up at him with eyes gone wide and a torrent of blood cascading down his split lip. The momentary confusion had been followed by the stark realization of what happened, as Dogma hissed a warning he hoped he wouldn't have to repeat ever again.
"Stop calling me Dog."
And the most spectacular part about it all? Slick hadn't even been upset at getting sucker punched in the face. He'd grinned. Teeth stained with blood and devilish glint in his dark eyes. Looking up at him as if he'd just witnessed something of an extraordinary nature.
And maybe he had. Maybe he'd seen the moment where Coruscant finally broke what was left of that clueless and frightened shiny he'd been on Kamino. The pieces that Krell hadn't already pulverized into fine dust.
"So there's hope for you after all. You might just survive this hellhole, little sheb'ika~"
From there on out the teasing was just that. Teasing. No longer did Slick try his patience just to see if it was possible to get a proper rise out of him. He'd effectively earned the most rebellious clone in the Guard's respect. His protection and brotherly affection as well.
Surprisingly, he hadn't been as disturbed about this outcome as the old Dogma would have been. But then again that same clone was naught but a fool who hoped for a galaxy that was far too unrealistically idyllic.
The new Dogma knew better. Had much lower expectations and stronger walls to keep others out unless they properly earned his respect. It's what kept him alive in the end.

Good morning Happy Weekend :) Our ship is back together in this episode and what a come back it is. I keep saying how each ep is so good its because it is ha S2 doesn't disappoint for moments. Let's get started.
2x08 Clean Cut
We first see our beautiful OTP getting ready for the day. Tim and Jackson are being recognized for helping that family last ep. Lucy telling Tim his accommodation is a big deal. Tim being his self deprecating self is thinking it’s not. He’s out of his damn mind if he thinks she’s not going to make a big deal out of this. Lucy couldn’t be prouder of him for this. I could see her beaming as Jackson tells her the story.
Lucy telling him she’s planned her emotional day around it is too cute. It's the most important part of her day. I love them so much. Tim continues to lessen what he did. Saying it’s not why he does this job. Ok honey she’s not buying that for one second. Their banter is the best. Lucy is of course is going to give him crap for his lack luster excitement. She wants him to be a little more excited about this.
You know he’s proud but just won’t acknowledge it let alone let Lucy do so. Oh Tim. Can't say I don’t relate to Tim with this. No doubt he wasn't given words of affirmation growing up. So when he does receive them he deflects it. Because he either doesn't believe he deserves it or just can't handle when it is genuine. (Like from Lucy and all her sunshine proudness) I'm the same way. I too didn't get those growing up. So getting them is hard to process or accept.
With Lucy making a big deal of it he can't process it so he deflects that feeling instead. Lucy calls his bluff tells him to turn it down then. Tim freezes then says it doesn’t matter to him (Lying liar who lies) but it matters to the higher ups. Says if he scores well in his exam plus the award it could rise him in the ranks faster. Lucy lets it go for now replies fair enough.
We rejoin them them in their shop. Lucy asks if Tim invited Rachel to his award. He says no and reminds her it’s not a big thing. Lucy calls him on it says she was busy wasn’t she? He caves and says out of town... They cute. They’re having a good time till Tim doesn’t see brake lights in front of him. Then their whole day changes in an instant.
The look of worry all over Lucy’s face when she see’s Tim is bleeding. Looks like she wants to reach out but doesn't. He disregards his nose and asks if she’s ok. He's more worried about her. Ugh my heart. You know him crashing is going to shake him alone. Crashing a car with Lucy in it only makes it so much worse. He thinks he’s endangered her on top of everything else. Tim calls it in and lets them know a city vehicle is involved.
Doesn’t take long for their crash to be swarming with cops. Lucy is surprised at how many are here. Tim tells her how serious this is. Officer involved accidents are anything but good. His body language is all anxiety. He’s trying to keep it in but he’s worried. He’s never been very good at hiding his true emotions from Lucy.
The Sargent running the scene comes up and is cavalier. Telling them Tim is getting a day at the beach. Lucy is beyond confused about what this means. Tim explains what the off handed comment means. You can see the stress coming off him in waves. We all know how Tim needs his control and now it’s out of his hands. He’s listing off all the ways he could be disciplined. All the joking and 'not caring' about his award is out the window now. The only thing left is his disappointment and shock.
Lucy’s face in that gif above ugh my heart. Her eyes alone showing all the empathy she is carrying for him. She doesn’t want him to feel this way. To feel like taking the exam is useless now. It’s written all over her face she wants to fix this. To save him from whatever is headed his way about this. It’s killing her to see him so defeated.
Lucy knows he’s beating himself up ten fold over this. You can see her wanting to protect him from this whole thing. All she wants to do is make it better. Tim is thinking all his hard work is going to go down the drain before his eyes. That all he can do is wait and watch it happen. Lucy can't stand the fact he's defeated right out the gate. Its all over her body language how much she wants to rectify this for him.
Tim’s face kills me when Grey pulls up and asks what happened. He’s in a state of shock as he’s explaining. He looks so sad. Grey says he should sit out the ceremony. Tim makes a morose joke the deputy director won’t want to give an officer facing demotion a plaque…Lucy looks just as sad as him. We all know this award meant more to him than he was leading on. It's being ripped away from him now.
Harper advises Tim to get checked at hospital for liability reasons. He looks so beat but says thanks. He’s clearly upset and lost by the end of the scene. Lucy tells him how sorry she is. It’s coming off him in waves. Tim tries to compartmentalize. Tells Lucy to get their shop back to the garage then meet him at the hospital with their new one. She looks like she wants to say more but doesn't. That anxious need to fix this for him is seeping out of every pore in her body.
Poor Tim is at the hospital by himself. He sees Lopez for a second but she’s looking after a high af Jackson LOL You can tell he wants to talk. Jackson wanders off and Angela has to follow leaving him standing there. Dr Sawyer tells Tim, Sarah the driver is ok and that she asked about him. Then he is cleared and goes to talk to the driver. She seems like she just wants to let it go. Let the city pay for everything and move on. Her BF is a little more intense. Saying they’re gonna sue. Flying off the handle when Sarah is trying to just be done with it. Alarm bells are going off for Tim with this guy. He just doesn’t know why. So he walks away from the situation telling her he hopes she feels better soon.
Lucy arrives at the garage and the Sargent that was at the scene is there. Calls her little lady (first mistake my friend…) Lucy shakes it off and says she was the one with her T.O. and the accident. He continues to be an ass and says 'Oh beach boy...yeah he’s screwed.' It’s like this guy wanted to have his head ripped off by her I swear. She’s already anxious from how he’s feeling, with no way to currently make it better.
He’s poking an angry bear and has no idea what he’s in for. Lucy is aghast with his finality about the situation. Questions him and ask if he’s even checked out the other car yet. He tells her not yet. Lucy tells him she doesn’t remember seeing brake lights from that woman’s car. The Sargent continues his condescending tone and says ‘uh huh…’ Lucy then asks him if he can check. He is dismissive and says when he has time. That’s when the wrath of Lucy Chen comes raining down on this man. LOL
There is a great line from Castle that fits this. It's from one of my favorite episodes. Where the baddie is caught by Beckett and he says he was told about hell raining down on him if he was caught by her. Then says "He said something about hell raining down on me. Never imagined hell would look like you." That's how I feel about this scene. How this guy had no idea the hell that was going to rain down on him by not helping Lucy with Tim's situation. I am sure he wasn't expecting that day if he was going to get his ass handed to him it would be by her. Amazing.
Lucy is already irritated with the entire situation. She is also feeling a lack of control. Then she comes here trying to help Tim and gets this dismissive schmuck. She was ready to fight before this guys rude attitude. This only lit that fire from a flame to an inferno and he was in her path. I love how she completely destroys him. How fiercely she defends Tim to this man she doesn’t even know.
Refuses to let this be the end of it. She’s going to make him look at that other car even if she has his drag his ass over there to do it. Lucy calling this guy out on his macho BS. God I love her resilience in the face of stuff like this. Lucy is so wrapped up in passionately defending Tim she forgets she’s speaking to a senior officer the ‘sir’ and respectful posture at the end. Classic.
The best part is he listens. I think he respected her for standing up to him and calling him on his crap. The Lucy Chen effect haha This wouldn’t be the first time she’s chewed out a superior officer for him. She did the same thing back in 1x16 with Detective Murphy. No one kicks Tim while he’s already down superior officer or not in her presence. I love watching her defend and protect him.
They go to check out the car and the brake lights were pulled. Lucy asks if this could've happened during the accident. He says no they were pulled on purpose. So our girl was right. Gotta love it. She asks why this person would do this? He tells her insurances scams. He sees it all the time. Tells her maybe your T.O. isn’t screwed after all. Lucy relaxes visibly and the claws get put away. They find extra stuff in the trunk. Chemicals that are used to cook meth or set fires. Tim’s gut from earlier coming true about these people.
Lucy makes it back to hospital to tell Tim the good news. That the brake lights were disconnected. The relief on Tim’s face when she tells him is immense. She also tells him about the arson materials they found in the trunk as well. They go to confront Sarah. Tim has his confidence and swagger back. Not as defeated as before. You can see it in his stance while they're in Sarah's room.
They tell her they know her car was rigged and the materials they found in her car. She gets testy and a tad defensive. She then tries to say car isn’t hers. Tim goes on offensive and says is it your boyfriends? The one who wanted to sue me? She doesn’t reply. They get his name off her contact sheet ‘ Mike Garvey’ and he’s next.
First off I love that he trusts her enough to do this interrogation alone. It makes sense she would do it solo. He doesn't know she was with him. I just adore him not even thinking about it. Knowing she can handle this all on her own. Lucy doesn’t question it for one second. Just does this for him on his behalf because that’s what partners do. Right now she will do anything to get him out of the hole he’s in. They just need to get this guy to crack and they're golden. I do love how he paces watching it. Ready to pounce on this guy if he does anything.
Mike is instantly defensive with Lucy. Could not be more guilty. He tries to get under Lucy’s skin and tell her Tim should be fired. She won’t even make eye contact with him cause she will eat him if she does LOL Straight up lies when Lucy asks if he ever uses her car. Lucy goes right at him. Saying he didn’t disconnect her taillights for insurance fraud? He lies again says nope. Lucy brings up his past of being convicted of fraud.
That’s the last straw and he storms out and Tim follows him out. Mike goes off saying how he’s going to sue him and whole dept. Tim confidently (also very sexy btw) comes up to him. Says if he can only afford one retainer he should go for a criminal one. *fans self* God I love me some confident Tim. Phew lord. Mike takes off. Lucy apologizes for not getting more out of him. Tim says not to be the point was to wind him up. Send him back to Sarah wind her up and see who breaks first. Look at that sexy stance. He knows he'll have him dead to rights soon enough.
They go to see Sarah tell her to make a deal. She’ll wanna be first one on this. She agrees. Sarah tells them she was about to leave him. That she was using the car to get suitcases. She had no idea about the brake lights. Lucy asks why she’s leaving him? She tells them he's going over the edge. Used to just be insurance scams for money or arson scams but now it’s worse. She says he’s agreed to kill a man’s wife for cut off the life insurance policy. What a prince… Tells them she know it’s going down today.
Lucy gets to do another mini UC as the potential wife. They easily catch Mike and Tim gets to be the one to stop him. Sweet karma you putz. I think he enjoyed shouting instructions at this ass-hat to get him to surrender. I know I did haha Tim is cheeky and can’t let the wig go and makes a comment to Lucy about it. Her face I’m dying LMAO Even in the middle of an arrest the work flirts find their way in.
Lucy is so so proud of Tim and his accommodation. She is in wifey mode 100% and there is no stopping her with the pics and pride. Claiming they’re ‘For Rachel’ Sure they are Lucy.... Whatever you need to tell yourself. Tim is trying to make sure she doesn’t add it to her Home Screen haha They’re so cute I can't stand it. Also little bit of payback when he took all those pics of her last season when she fell asleep haha Parallels galore in this ending scene.
The look on his face when she shows him the lock screen hehe he’s so used to her shenanigans at this point. Doesn't even fight it. Tim has gone from annoyance to adoration though. It makes me so giddy.(The growth *heart clutch*) Look at that sheepish smile. He’s so cute and flustered by her attention and affection for him. Girl isn't hiding how she feels about this one bit. That reverence she has for him It's inevitable at this point and he's accepting it slowly. Another crack grows, carving out a piece of that wall of his. It hits the ground and shatters.
He then gets serious. Tim is very aware he wouldn't be standing here without her. That she fought and clawed to save his career. I love him for thanking her. The absolute growth in him for doing so. We get two special growth moments in this scene. Makes my shipper heart so damn happy. Recognizing what she did for him today. Verbalizing it the best way he can. He's still working on this particular skill with her. He’s in awe that she did that for him. It shows in how he tries to thank her. He's stumbling on his words to get it out.
She relieves him of his flustered thankfulness by throwing his line back at him. The most beautiful thing about this moment is the parallels to when Tim saved hers. Lucy didn’t even think for two seconds before going and doing everything she could to save his career. Just like he did in Plain Clothes Day and The Checklist from last season. Refusing to let this be the end of his path to Sargent. Her way of thanking him for all that he’s done for her. Also she didn’t record that audio book for nothing LOL
The lengths these two go for one another astounds me. Her doing this was letting him know she has his back just as much as he has hers. This is the kind of stuff that built the amazing couple we get in s5. The beautiful base they build along the way is rock solid. These are the moments that get us there.
Honestly Lucy throwing back his doing my job line. My heart. The work flirts make my heart so happy. He can’t even fight the smile on his face. She saved his career and used his own words against him. He’s falling in love and has no idea about it. So smitten with one another not ready for that to be more just yet. The underlying chemistry and attraction was always there though.
How can two people exude so much chemistry just sitting next to one another? All they’re doing is drinking beer and yet. They look so married in this scene. Like they're already a couple just celebrating with their friends. Let’s also note how much room there is on that bench. Yet they’re within inches of each other. Their love affair with being anti personal-space continues. I’m here for it all damn day. Look at how in-sync they are in both those gifs. The physical chemistry between these two long before they were together blows my mind. I love them so much.

Side notes- Non chenford
Jackson being high as a kite is hilarious as hell. Angela chasing him around all ep, trying to keep it under wraps too damn funny. Always enjoyed their dynamic.
Harper having a good day with Grey. Getting him to write a positive eval for her for Lila. Her growth continues as well and I love it. I enjoy her journey to the Harper we have now so very much.
John and Ellroy super cute as well. Him introducing him to Nell beyond precious. I'll say it again I enjoyed John and Grace a lot. They had solid chemistry.

hi! I’m getting into the fandom and I was wondering if you have any comfort interviews/podcast eps etc? Or just longish ones that I can listen to while folding laundry :) ty!!!
hello! Welcome aboard! They haven't done a whole load of podcasts but Carl appeared on the Distraction Pieces Podcast in 2016 and that was an amazing interview. 22 Grand Pod has several interviews with people around the band, including Roger Sargent and members of Babyshambles, as well an episode with John. There's several chunks of the lockdown livestream they did here. The recent Louis Theroux episode with Peter is well worth a watch. They have done several radio interviews of late as well, though I am terrible at remembering which networks - I might get @suchasinistergame to help out there as her memory for British radio shows is much better than mine. In terms of comfort interviews you can't beat their first Gonzo appearance, and this, that is known as the 'buffalo' interview. In terms of long interviews with Peter there's this one but he wasn't in the best place then. If you haven't read Carl's book, there is an audiobook version that he narrates himself and you can't beat that for a good listen. If anyone has suggestions please add. x

You know, there's something I don't about is that, how did Morrigan know that Chise is going to go to Sargent mansion? Does she knows Chise gonna be there or perhaps Morrigan knows something about the Dragon too.
This is a very interesting conversation, because we can go to the TAMB lore or the actual myth of the Phantom Queen. Maybe both?
Considering that she still sensed Chise when she offered the mistletoe in S1, I assumed she went to the Ainsworth house first after feeling her presence there (or maybe she already knew). I'm not really sure if the magic of an ancient Cait Sith was strong enough to hide the college from the eyes of a god, but we can be for certain that Morrigan was actually following Chise closely.
But then in the actual myth of The Morrigan, it has been stablished that she has the power of prophecy/divination and is able to see into the future to predict the outcomes of battles and other events. And in the newest ep, she already knew that Chise would transform into a dragon, the beast that simbolyzes the borderlands (or paganism) and hostility.
So, it could be that.

I think the people who are upset at Lucy need to understand that she actually is in the early stages of her career and is trying to find the path that is best for her.
She got into the Lapd later than most rookies (except Nolan), and there is no way she was ever going to get a Golden Ticket to progress her career.
If we look at Lopez, who was a TO before detective, these career paths aren't quick progresses and with Lucy not getting younger I get why she wants to progress with something she loves and is good at.
I just don't think it's fair were asking her to give up her career for Tim when he has already progressed twice in his career from TO to Sargent.
They can have it both.
Tim wants her to be happy and like Tim being at a desk won't make him happy Lucy staying in patrol won't make her happy.
The Rookie does relationships so well, and last week tumblr was so depressing with the negativey when they absolutely spoiled us in this week's eps.
They can have her to do detective work without undercover work for awhile FYI

Hello hello hello my lovely little stars!Welcome back to another episode of:
APHALLY OBSESSED!
YOUR new favorite "daily radio show" in which your host, Aphelion (That's me!) tells you all about music they're ACTUALLY OBSESSED with!
Today's episode is gonna be a little bit different. I haven't done one of these in a little bit and that's because I'm going through sort of a music funk. That meaning: Music is a bit overstimulating and overwhelming for me and I just haven't had something I really like come to mind.
I'm also going through HUGE writer's block. I'm very burnt out. So it may take me a bit to get back to our regularly scheduled programming. HOWEVER, because of this I've decided to add a NEW segment to this show!!!!!!
Aphelion's Absolutely Amazing Album Recommendations!!!!
Or, AAAAR for short! (Name is subject to change)
In this segment, I will be recommending three different albums or EPs for your listening pleasures! It will not get TOO much of a personal story behind it, but they WILL all be genuinely one I like (Which is rare!!! I don't listen to albums!)
The albums for today are:
AQUARIUM CITY by Louie Zong
Drones by Muse
Jubilee by Japanese Breakfast
✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦
AQUARIUM CITY
This album actually just came out TODAY (Friday, July 26th, 2024)
I just finished listening to it and of course, it's amazing! Louie Zong never misses.
It is self described as "Masayoshi Takanaka flavor" city pop album. This seems to add up as it has mych very funk / electro-funk influence. This album really evokes a summery island vibe. If you like city pop, future funk, electro r&b or electro jazz, this may be for you. It's mostly instrumental but contains some vocal snippets throughout the tracks. The most vocal song would be Swim With Me.
Louie Zong also makes great use of an iconic sample from the song "Soulful Strut" by Young-Holt Unlimited in Track 3: Tuna Turnpike. I'm sure there's many other samples of which I can't identify currently. Especially probably from Masayoshi Takanaka, who I'm sure I've heard the songs of but do not know the names 😅
There's only 8 songs, and the album tops out at 24 minutes and 7 seconds long. This is closer to what some would call an EP so you should be able to listen to it fairly quickly!
Drones
This is my current favorite Muse album, finally growing on me and taking the top spot from The 2nd Law.
Muse also rarely has missed and I feel like this is one of their best albums quite honestly. It's a progressive rock concept album about soldier going from being an indoctrinated "Drone" in the military, to a Defector. Despite being an English rock band, the album includes heavy critiques of the U.S military in the song, especially the Obama administration and the use of drones in bombing civilians in the middle east.
It has two tracks that are mostly vocal snippets, [Drill Sargent] and [JFK] which perfectly leads into the songs that follow them. The final and title song, Drones, includes music from "Missa Papae Marcelli" by renaissance composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. With Matt Bellamy singing over-top it in the final minutes of the song, expressing the soldier's grief at the loss of everything and everyone he loved, it is truly brilliant. Having said that, my favorite song on this album has to be Reapers.
The album is 12 tracks long and clocks in at 52 min 42 sec. This is the longest album on the list :)
If you like rock and critiques of the military, go check it out!
Jubilee
Japanese Breakfast's 3rd album, this time much more joyful than the previous two, which were very much about the grief of. This album is like a dream pop...well...dream! It's a somewhat similar in vibe to AQUARIUM CITY in its use of instruments with synthesizers, funky bass lines, and an overall 80s pop vibe. So I guess that is the vibe today. But it's very different from that album, I swear.
The album seems to mostly be about love. A love story in fact. Just being in love with someone and all it entails. From falling hard, to needing to distance yourself from the person to be healthy.
I would say this album is one of the least electronic of the three, but correct me if in wrong. We get a lot of sweet and soft vocals from lead singer Michelle Zauner accompanied with what I think to be live electric guitar, bass guitar, and drums. They make great use of dissonance in the album to provide that dreamy feel as if looking back on a memory.
My favorite song from this album is currently the 2nd track: "Be Sweet"
This album has 10 songs and is 37 minutes and 3 seconds long.

Do the other CPD cast have more bargaining power now that both Jesse and Tracy are (soon to be) gone? I wouldn't be surprised if Patrick Flueger is the next to go (also wouldn't mind a Sargent Atwater in the future) but it would be so hard to continue storylines with Marina without him. I feel like they would have to write them both off like what fire did with Kara after Jesse Spencer left. They didn't feel there was much story to tell with her after he left and I feel it would be similar with Kim without Adam.
I'm not sure! Negotiations are all a pretty individual process and without being in the room, I can't really say what leverage any of them have. PD especially has kind of surprised me (Jason with an EP credit when no other actors in One Chicago even have producer credits, I don't think) so it all depends on what they value and what actors push for as they negotiate.
Honestly, I've thought Paddy would be next to go for years. I thought he'd be next to go even before Jesse and Tracy left. Maybe he's good to stay, but I'll say that news of his departure will never shock me.
I actually think I disagree with your Kim/Sylvie comparison. I was talking about this recently, and I think (should they have to) Kim and Kevin are the best pairing to kind of rebuild the show around. They work so well on screen and they would have flexibility in storylines since they aren't paired romantically to each other. It would be like the story coming full circle with the OG patrol partners being veterans in the evolution of the unit. I don't know how they'd write Adam out if he wanted to go. Like most exits of that nature, there wouldn't be many great options and there would be a lot of really, really bad ones. Good thing it's all hypothetical. That said, if I were tasked with completely rebuilding the show after an exit, Kim would 100% stay and she and Kevin would be the foundation.

Misty Lanes "Misty Lanes"2017
Misty Lanes is the solo project of Sydney-based multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer, Steven W. Schouten. Launched in 2017 with his self-titled album, Misty Lanes is known for its reverberating guitars, punchy drums, dreamy organ melodies, and delicate vocals, reminiscent of late 1960s bands like The 13th Floor Elevators and The Kinks. His upcoming album, Colourless Green Ideas, was inspired by Noam Chomsky’s phrase, sparking a reflection on “art for art’s sake.” The album explores a wide range of sounds—from psychedelic rock to baroque pop—crafted over several years in home studios and mixed in 2022. Schouten embraces the raw, "colourless green" essence of initial demos, elevating his production while staying true to the spirit of the 1960s icons like Brian Wilson and The Kinks....~ Credits Steven W Schouten - Vocals,Guitar,Keys Arthur Dazos - Guitar Amy Flanagan - Bass Sam Vallellanes - Drums Kat Harley - Keys & Percussion Tracklist Misty Lanes (Intro) 01:11 The Sargent's Last Straw 02:16 Dragged Unwillingly 03:06 Change In Season 04:03 Humble Melody 03:26 Reach Out 04:16 Leisure Coast Limousine 01:39 Learn To Pretend 03:28 Evaporations 03:28 Long Amber Mist 02:45 Splash 1 (13th Floor Elevators Cover) 04:15

Misty Lanes "Colourless Green Ideas"2024
Misty Lanes is the moniker for the solo recording project of Sydney based multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, engineer and producer, Steven W. Schouten. Beginning in 2017 after releasing his self-titled album, Misty Lanes has become defined by reverberating guitars, punchy drums, dreamy organ melodies and delicate vocals that embody the soul of cult-classic late 1960s bands such as The 13th Floor Elevators and The Kinks. The idea for Misty Lanes’ new album came about after Steven W. Schouten stumbled on a sentence — “Colourless Green Ideas Sleep Furiously” — a grammatical yet semantically nonsensical phrase by American author/linguist, Noam Chomsky. The phrase got Steven thinking about how we are always searching for meaning in things but not everything needs meaning and can just exist — “art for art’s sake”. This idea was the driving force behind Misty Lanes’ forthcoming sophomore album, Colourless Green Ideas, with the record being an eclectic collection of songs that explores a plethora of sounds and sub-genres from psychedelic rock, baroque pop, outsider folk, krautrock, funk infused garage-rock and more. The album was written, recorded and pieced together between 2016-2021 in different home studios before Schouten finished up the mixing in 2022. A long time coming since Misty Lanes’ 2017 self-titled album, Colourless Green Ideas sees Steven Schouten levelling up his songwriting, mixing and production, with new instruments such as his Mellotron Micro appearing all through the record. Both the songwriting and the production of the album nods to 1960s artists such as Brian Wilson, Billy Nicholls, The BeeGees, The 13th Floor Elevators and The Kinks. Schouten thoughtfully tries to stay true to the rawness of his ideas, which he calls “colourless green” — the naive first demo, which always captures the initial feeling of a song’s idea but is almost impossible to recreate in the studio environment. ....~ Tracklist Introducing... 01:05 And Here We Are 04:46 The Glorious Ones 04:01 Get Down 02:23 Would You Believe? 04:16 Unanimism 03:44 The Body Electric (Rise/Fall) 01:36 In The Dark 03:52 A Guardian Angel Makes A Small Breakfast 03:39 Metronome Heart 04:29 The Healing Door 02:16
