i learned that the Myers-Briggs has no scientific basis whatsoever (x)

I genuinely cringe SO hard when I see that 16personalities “-A” and “-T” shit. (It’s not even mbti) Like it is a genuine pet peeve. I’m beginning to feel that way about enneagram wings, too, but eh, I feel like wings have more merit. 16p just slapped on a big5 trait onto their glorified big5 test, so now people who don’t know about functions think that the difference between an ENTJ-T and an ENTP-T is one letter. It’s actually, like, A LOT. ENTJ’s use the cognitive functions Te, Ni, Se and Fi. ENTP’s use the cognitive functions Ne, Ti, Fe and Si. Very different. And, like, I don’t wanna go into these people inboxes like “erm ackshully, this this and this” because A) they probably don’t care, and that’s fine. B) they might find it rude, for whatever reason. People don’t like being corrected… I don’t think. C) Ignorantly people who double down just aggravate me more.

It’s not that I don’t see any merit in letter typing. I see where it’s coming from, I just can’t stand 16p, specifically.

Your Twin Peaks fun fact of the day

Day #5

Many of the characters names in Twin Peaks weren't chosen just because.

Several characters are named after film noir figures, here are some examples:

Madeleine Ferguson, Laura's cousin, shares her first name with Kim Novak's character in Vertigo and her surname with James Stewart character in that same movie. Curiously enough, the movie surrounds a dead blonde and her brunette doppelgänger.

There's an insurance agent on Twin Peaks named Walter Neff, which plays homage to Fred MacMurray's character in Double Indemnity.

Also, the vet Dr. Lydecker and Waldo the bird both pay tribute to Clifton Webb's character in Laura.

And Gordon Cole, whose name is a reference to Bert Moorhouse character in Sunset Boulevard, one of David Lynch's favorite movie and biggest inspiration.

But it's not just film noir references. For instance, Dale Cooper's, whose middle name is Bartholomew, initials are the same ones as D. B. Cooper the famous hijacker who parachuted from a plane in Washington with stolen cashed and disappeared out of the blue.

And last but not least, Harry Truman's name is a reference to the Harry Truman who refused to leave his lodge during the eruption of Mount St. Helens.

Safety Update!

Camera is here, and I'm almost to my goal to get it installed- and I cannot thank those who donated/commissioned/reblogged enough ( ╥ ᴗ ╥)

(Dabi-Ex update below)

There's been someone outside my apartment door between (10:30pm-1am) on-and-off since Thursday, and each time my scaredy cat has begged me to open the door for them. Unfortunately, even after a few of us reached out to them, the complex sent out a mass email saying "You're on your fecking own". So I'm still working on extra security measures, but I really hope this resolves before Briggs gets here on the 31st- cause, uh, that'll escalate quickly.

Garcia Peoples & P.G. Six Live Show Review: 5/10, Judson & Moore, Chicago

Garcia Peoples

BY JORDAN MAINZER

Despite their name, Garcia Peoples continue to be the type of jam band that's morel loose and ramshackle, less jaw-droppingly pristine and perfectly in sync than those who can switch tempos on a dime like they've basically planned it. That's a good thing. The same sextet that, for my money, provided the closest experience to a live show during the COVID stream era, on Friday night at Judson & Moore, workshopped new material as if in conversation with each other and the audience. For the most part, they played new songs that are not even yet recorded and were a stellar continuation of what you've always liked about Garcia Peoples: Tom Malach and Danny Arakaki's hazy licks, Pat Gubler's subtly shining synths, Cesar Arakaki's rolling drums, Andy Cush's bluesy bass. The band continued to extract light out of even the darkest timbres; at times, the lead guitars sang. Though Garcia Peoples played Nightcap at Wits End's "Fire of the Now" and Natural Facts highlight "High Noon Violence", it was the epic, Cush-led "Hummingbird"--an unreleased track that's become a staple of their live sets the past couple years--that was the set's emotional climax, the song I'm most looking forward to hearing fleshed out in the studio. Sure, there are moments where the band launches into a refrain that makes even people talking at the bar stop in their tracks, but I was more charmed by the moment they took their chance at a never-before-played song and killed it, even if they slightly fumbled the ending. After all, this is a band that just last year opened for the likes of Pavement, not Widespread Panic.

P.G. Six

Opening for Garcia Peoples was, well, Gubler, but under his moniker P.G. Six. Last September, he released the first P.G. Six album in 12 years, Murmurs & Whispers (Drag City), an album of harp compositions that eventually expanded into a pastoral multi-instrumental palate. That said, Gubler's opening set was harp-only, and the instrument's sprinkled starkness in combination with his folk baritone served to emphasize moving tales that, in his words, got "progressively more depressing." Jokes aside, his latest batch of mournful tunes perfectly accompanied his version of Anne Briggs' "Go Your Way", first recorded for P.G. Six's 2001 debut album Parlor Tricks and Porch Favorites. And though his dirges were far apart in mood from the buoyant jubilations he was a part of during Garcia Peoples' set, Gubler's P.G. Six performance set up the night as one to celebrate terrific instrumental craft with enough rawness to let the players' personalities shine through.
