Live Report: Bishop Briggs Album Release Show at The Troubadour (Oct 17, 2024)

Live Report: @BishopBriggs Album Release show at @TheTroubadour (10/17/24) The effervescent #altpop artist introduced her new album to the world with a spirited emotional performance @2BEntertainment #BishopBriggs #livemusic #concert #newmusic

The audience at Bishop Briggs‘ show last Thursday at The Troubadour was ready for Halloween. Many came dressed in costumes for the show in celebration of the release that night of Briggs’ latest album Tell My Therapist I’m Fine. Maybe it was because Briggs herself had shared images on socials hinting of a costume for the show, but clearly her fan base is game for themes. The stage set-up,…

For the vidder ask: 11, 18, 24, 26! :)

Ooohhh, this gets really really long because of the multiple questions ahaha and I also tried to be succinct in my answers but that's hard.

24. When and why did you get started?

A stargate friend way back in maybe 2004 was sending me bootleg copies of Stargate SG-1 episodes on a CD-ROM but also had included some music videos that had some pop songs to the characters. (I’m A Slave for Yu of Britney Spears for Lord Yu and My Goddess by the Exies for the Goa’uld stick in my mind). I thought these videos were really, really soooo cool. I also grew up watching MTV when they were still showing music videos regularly and had unconsciously been absorbing the visual language of short form narrative and grooving with the music. So it’s no wonder that I wanted to learn how to make music videos of my own to a show that I really deeply loved.

I started vidding in 2007 with a copy of iMovie. And pretty quickly I realized I wanted to do more of this video editing thing because I was having so much fun. I didn’t have the pirating knowledge back then so I used my entire summer job money to pay for a student license of Final Cut Express which I think at the time was $200 or $300 back then as well as an external hard drive. A small investment to dive further into the hobby that would become much of my creative joys for the future.

Around 2006 and 2007 I was scouring livejournal for other fanvids at the time to see what other people were making. Buffy and due South and X-Files and Stargate were all very popular shows to vid for and I found the vidding community on livejournal and just hit the ground running with the hobby. Reading people’s vid notes, reading people’s comments on vids. Looking up lyrics and seeing how people tried to connect story ideas of the song and shippy feelings to the show. This was pre-YouTube and streaming video platforms were only just starting to become a thing. All fan-made tutorials were meticulously written out in text and screenshotted. It was a combination of all the fannish resources and communities where people asked questions and me literally mashing every button and pulling on every lever in the software that I started to learn how to export and lose my mind over things called “codecs” and “aspect ratios” and more. You won’t hear people screaming about it much now but old school vidders will remember ghost frames and that weird green line that would appear in exports and other batshit visual artifacts that would end up in finished results. the tech was so janky back then and Final Cut crashed a lot. The technical aspect was so hard to get used to but it was really satisfying to learn enough to make the things.

I love making stories come alive in fanvids. ---

11. Have you vid any ocs?

I had to sit and think about this because I was only kind of sure the answer was yes. I needed to go and look and make sure it was only one or two instances that I managed to vid OCs because I’ve made SO MANY vids and have half-started others over the years that it’s hard to keep track.

Armour For Liars is a fanvid for synecdochic’s Stargate SG-1 AU fic A Howling in a Factory Yard. At the linked vidpage I have a lot of notes about making this vid at the time. It was a true delight to fan-cast for synecdochic’s original characters. It was also really, really great to recieve such enormous and surprised and awed feedback on that vid. I wasn’t not doing well at the time I made that vid so it was nice that I could still make something really cool and watch people get excited. Just take a look at the 40+ comments I got on that vid, it’s still wonderful to look back on it. :)

18. Favorite artist to vid to?

I have like five different answers to this depending on the day (and I also have another ask like this I’m answering with more and different detail.) I love vidding Kesha, Linkin Park, Lady Gaga, Audioslave, Bishop Briggs, 2000s music, etc etc.

Right now I REALLY look forward to vidding covers and mashups and medleys. This type of song allows me to create a more layered narrative/emotional landscape to use songs that are familiar but end up hitting very differently when applied to a vid. Also the songs are just really cool, IMO and tickle my brain. Let me give you an example.

Memory Leak (also on ao3) is my Matrix Resurrection vid. I wanted to vid this film and I specifically wanted to find a song that was contemporary at the time of the release of the original trilogy (so 1999-2003) but I wanted to have it be a cover. It’s a new take, re-visiting an old song. Similar to how the film is re-visiting the events of Neo’s life from the original trilogy after he's aged 20+ years.

I identified the song Adam’s Song by Blink 182 pretty quickly since it came to mind based on the subject of the film. The original song had depressive overtones (and you can read more about the song on Wikipedia) which I believe mapped out well to the emotional journey of Neo in Matrix Resurrections. However, the thematic arc and motivation of Neo’s journey is one of love and perseverance. I had like 3-6 covers of Adam’s Song that were more melancholy and hopeful, somber and positive. I settled on Albert Salt’s cover because it his vocals and his version of the song I felt matched the hope and love vibes that I got out of the film. This cover also ended up being a medley and giving me some extra lyrics from other Blink182 songs to play with outside narrative context of Adam’s Song and I think that also really helped elevate the vid. Also I think it’s just a really pretty cover, very lovely.

—

26. Any vidding rituals you have?

My main ritual happens before I even start actively working on a vid. When I’m ready to warm up my brain for a project, I create a vidsong playlist for my current vid interests. I will be listening to the vidsong about 4,000x before I even download an episode or make a clip or create a project file. I listen to it until it’s in my bones, my brain is saturated with it and no other music exists. I should be tired of the song by the time I start vidding it but it really helps grease my creative wheels.

I also love to create multiple vidsong playlists and shuffle things around for various reasons. It helps me keep some of my (too many) ideas somewhat organized and I love tidying my playlists and adding to them during this idea/discovery stage of the process. I have a main/general vidding playlist, a playlist for songs that are “incubating” and don’t have a show or film attached to it yet but I love the song and know the song would be great to vid. I have two (actually three) witcher-specific vidsong playlists, a ‘vidding graveyard’ playlist for song/ideas I’ve abandoned over the years. I have other playlists that are genre specific. I have show/film specific playlists while I’m either contemplating an ambitious project like a Vid Album or when I’m trying to listen to potential vidsongs back-to-back and audition them in my brain for the vid I think I want to make or would like to make. Honestly I could do a separate ask game just on my vidding playlist ideas or my vid wips and published catalogue for the sheer volume of music genres/artists and sources I’ve done over the years. If that’s something people might be interested in exploring. I could call it “Vidder Open House.” thank you for the ask!! Get to Know the Vidder ask game! Send me an ask!

[fangirling-heart]

Hi Heart! Hope youre doing well, and sorry that I'm taking so long for your ask lol I do want to answer it but there's a lot I have to answer before that xP

For the Character ask game, how about 1, 2 and 5 for Vanitas from Kingdom Hearts, and 6, 10 and 12 for Black and/or White from the Pokémon Manga? :3

Good morning!!! 🌞

After a while I'm actually doing quite well, since I finally turned in one big-ass assignment. Here's to hoping it will only get better from here.

Anyway, there's an ask to answer! Let's go! Buckle up, this will be long!

Vanitas:

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

Vanitas as a character is very layered and complex and it's just great! His backstory is very tragic and perfectly explains why he is the way he is in the games, without excusing any of it. The way he views and interacts with the other characters, especially Ventus, is also very interesting and it always makes me wish we had gotten more of it. Not to mention the potential his story has going forward (Yes I still wait on the full backstory reveal and that redemption arc!).

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

Canon... Canon is a weird thing here since there's like 3 different source materials (games, novels and manga), but I suppose the games are the most canon here, so I'll talk about that. One thing I really love about him is the conflicting relationship he has with hus own identity. Now, he definitely isn't the only character in that series with identity issues (heck, that's basically identity issues: the game series), but I find the way his issues are portrayed to be very interesting. Most characters express those issues pretty outright (i.e. Roxas and Xion) but Vanitas is more subtle in his expression. He goes from trying to assert his individuality by calling himself his own being to referring to himself as Ventus' better half, to calling them and Sora brothers and laughing at Ven's face when he says they're the same and then referring to himself as being darkness. Some people have called this a weakness, but I call it being brilliant. Unlike the other characters in the series, Vanitas isn't at a point where he can express his issues and his anguish as freely, if at all. Heck, who would he even express them to? The main characters he's trying to kill? Or the big bad that's been abusing him his whole life and was planting seeds of doubt to him since day one? The closest thing we get to him being open is before fighting Aqua and Ven and before his death in kh3. I really wish he gets brought back in the future games and we get to see more of his character.

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

I don't know. I got a whole playlist with songs about him and every time I think of him a different one pops into my head. The ones that are more frequent tho are Welcome to My Darkside by Bishop Briggs and Skeleton by Set It Off.

Okay, now that we're done with the darkness edgelord boi, let's go to some adorable kiddos!

6. What's something you have in common with this character?

Black: Probably the passion for our dreams. Black dreams of becoming champion, I dream of becoming a writer, and like him sometimes this is the only thing I can think about (one time I was supposed to be studying for a test and I spaced out thinking about a story for literally 2 hours)

White: The love for theater and performing. I know she's not a performer herself, but it is clear she loves it and puts in a lot of work and effort to the performances of her pokemon.

10. Could you be best friends with this character?

Yeah. I think I'd get along well with both of them.

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

Black: He is the most morning person in the world. He always wakes up early and always seems to wake up with a lot of energy, even I'd he slept for like 4 hours or less.

White: Her favorite ride used to be the ferris wheel. But after what happened with N and Gigi it took her a while before she could get on one.

8 9 and 16 for nerio and/or nasosi?

Thank you so much! 🥰🥰

Send me some oc asks!

8: what they like to eat

Nerio's doesn't have any strong preferences for food. They grew up eating extremely simple meals on the farm. And while aboard Lords of Fortune ships, meals were even simpler most of the time, broken up by infrequent extravagant feasts during big celebrations and holidays.

Lucanis' love of cooking, as well as Bellara, and Harding's... interesting attempts, have expanded Nerio's culinary world substantially. Much like with other aspects of life, Nerio loves to try everything at least once. (and they've also learned a few things they DON'T like, such as Neve's toxic coffee)

Nasosi spent most of her life eating the standard fare of soldiers in the field. From local game roasted on a fire to ration packs to the occasional package of corpse starch. She doesn't exactly turn down the expensive and vast menus available to a rogue trader, but she eats most of her meals at her desk. Chewing on simple dried grox meat or grain mush.

9: their theme

I'm going to assume this is a musical theme, because I LOVE music prompts.

Nasosi's main musical inspiration is Bishop Briggs' "Triumph". The melody, the lyrics, and the vibe fit her SO WELL. Even the costumes in the video. It's scary good.

The first piece of music to speak to me about Nerio was "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World. I just can't help but associate upbeat early 2000s teen pop with my Rook. The lyrics about finding yourself and ignoring the opinions of others fit with their journey.

16: their dreams

If anything, Nerio dreams of a life without so much adventure and peril. Just finding a place to live with Neve and Lucanis, all three of them doing whatever they want with their lives. No responsibilities or obligations to keep them tied down. (and this will always remain a dream, considering how committed Nerio's partners are to some rather large responsibilities outside of chasing risen gods)

Nasosi has very private, very hypocritical dreams she would never speak aloud, not even to the person she dreams about. But ever since she got that fleeting glimpse of Yrliet's most well-kept desire hidden away in her meditative world, it's dominated Nasosi's dreams since. She wants nothing more than to be held by the Aeldari somewhere serene and peaceful. Falling asleep surrounded by Yrliet's long limbs and soft robes, the xenos curled around her like a cat protecting her from all dangers.

Such a thought would be the most extreme heresy to anyone in the Imperium. A commissar like her should know better. And yet, the dream remains.

[gaywatch]

I need more music to listen, so unleash your reccomendations

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh dear I never get to talk about music enough so pardon me if I explode all over you

(Links are to songs that are both faves and good places for a newcomer to start.)

Taylor Swift - Yeah yeah she's a household name but no kidding, she has 10 albums spanning several genres and I can guarantee you that she has at least some songs that you will permanently add to your rotation. Google around for a good place to start and dive in (...or just ask me because I will gladly help you out).

Taemin - He's been known as 'the Michael Jackson of kpop' for years now, but what's wild is that he started at Michael and has since grown into a dancer and performer all his own. The only kpop artist I fully stan. His singles never. ever. miss.

Delta Rae - Incredible folk/country/Americana band from the state I live in with male and female vocalists. They are criminally underrated because they were liberal country artists before that was even remotely possible. Seen them live twice, met them twice, they are the most genuine people and outstanding artists.

Amanda Palmer - Originated as The Dresden Dolls, a duo that invented the 'punk cabaret' indie subgenre, and has been a solo artist for like 15 years at this point? Intense piano, intense lyrics, intense everything (the linked song is the anthem for girls with daddy issues). Objectively the most personal lyrics I've ever heard. Voice may take a second to adjust to. Not made for mainstream and doesn't want to be. One of the most important artists to me, personally.

Marianas Trench - Pop/punk perfection (but also simply genre chameleons) with a musical mastermind at its core. One of the best vocalists. Most albums end with an opus arrangement of the songs that came before and it's life changing.

Pink - People don't realize how powerful her vocals are and how incredible her lyricism can be. A pop icon. This bitch raised me, forever grateful.

Halsey - If all you know is Without Me and Closer, you haven't heard Halsey. Every album is outstanding but hopeless fountain kingdom doesn't have a single misplaced sound. It's pretty freakish actually.

Chvrches - Sheer and utter synthpop perfection, every single song. The one I linked is one of my favorite songs of all time, period.

MUNA - Queer girls making queer indie pop. Great lyrics, immaculate vibes. Recently opened for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour, and well deserved.

The Midnight - 80s/90s synth like you can't even believe. Saxophone for days.

Imogen Heap - A genius and pop legend. Her greatest song was sampled in something god awful and got meme-d to death, I don't wanna talk about it. If a pop artist does breathy vocals, 95% chance they're doing it because of Imogen. She sang me happy birthday. Haven't been alive since.

Rina Sawayama - THIS BITCH. Falls under pop but never met a genre she couldn't master. Stayed in the game into her late twenties (which is geriatric by pop standards), when she finally blew up a bit. A variety of sounds, some of them strange, but all of them brilliant in one way or another (even if you don't personally vibe with it).

Troye Sivan - Twink icon whose first two albums were as gay as they were pop brilliance. I don't care much for his newest work, but you might.

Alice Merton - She's the girl with that Roots song from a few years back. Two albums now, both genius. Unique voice, varied sound but with a distinct Florence oomph to it.

Ava Max - UN. DER. RATE. D. Classic, anthemic pop. Vocals for DAYS. Music so infectious you have it on loop for days. So much more than Sweet but Psycho.

Kesha - I prefer recent Kesha to her classic dance pop madness, personally. She grew into an amazing artist who can blend her weird ass dance flavor with her more mature sounds in a way that doesn't really seem possible.

Bishop Briggs - Nobody has a voice like this. A sort pop/alternative vibe that can be anthemic as easily as it can be dark.

The Chicks - Icons for a reason. Their most recent album, written by the main lyricist after leaving her husband of 20 years for cheating on her left right and sideways, is one of the best break up albums of all time. Period.

The Civil Wars - They only lasted long enough to make two albums, but both are flawless. Nobody will ever harmonize quite like them. Folk/country in the most *beautiful* way possible.

Evanescence - 2000s rock with with a stunning female writer and vocalist whose melodies are simply beyond compare when we're talking about their stuff from 2003-2006. Goth, dramatic, hard hitting, cathartic.

Freya Ridings - Adele but make it a touch more contemporary. Gorgeous deep voice, lots of ballads but her up tempo stuff is just as good.

Billie Eilish - If you haven't heard her first album yet or her early EPs, you need to. Nobody that young should have that much of a grasp of music and her place in it.

Foxes - Underrated pop queen! I have yet to hear a bad song from her, but her latest album is quintessential synthpop mastery.

Jukebox the Ghost - Piano pop/rock. It's actually too much fun to listen to them, tbh.

Kelly Clarkson - Listen, her latest album follows directly after The Chicks' on the string of ultimate divorce albums we've gotten from pop icons lately. I've loved Kelly forever, but in bits and pieces. Her latest album is her strongest project to date, easily.

Labrinth - I do not comprehend what this genius does with music. Electronic, experimental, metaphorical, personal, just something else. Did the music for Euphoria, but his first solo album was an experience and a half.

Lorde - Everybody tells you to listen to Melodrama because you should.

Maisie Peters - Everybody calls everybody else 'the next Taylor Swift,' and they're wrong. It's this girl.

Marina and the Diamonds - SUCH a unique voice, lyrics that are way too smart for mainstream pop.

Patrick Wolfe - A deep-voiced violinist who released a pop album in 2011 that I still listen to because I'm a sucker for pop laced with classical instruments and it's just that good.

Owen Pallett - A higher-toned violinist with more of an indie approach, coming up with concepts and melodies that would go well with an A24 film.

Emilie Autumn - Violin-fueled industrial/pop/metal, often with Victorian leanings. Visceral lyrics on mental illness, depression, bipolar, suicidal ideation, sexual assault, sometimes with a satirical bent or through a historical lens. Voice might take a second to get used to, it's unique and she does unique things with it (including "ugly" sounds on purpose) but once it clicks it clicks hard. Opheliac and Fight Like A Girl are good starting places.

The Veronicas - Underrated (yet oddly influential?) pop icon twins from the early 2000s to now. Killer voices, KILLER pop.
