KISSING THAT IRRADIATED OLD MAN!!!!!

thoughts while watching this talk about bbs with p'aof

a sort of liveblog? | link to video | x.

ink's origins are so interesting

it's so fun to talk about character wardrobe because it's so true how even how they dress is part of characterization. they have to be stylistically unique so you feel the extension of their personality

aww this is so cute. i can imagine them trying to help pat's kid actor safely enter pran's room because as far as i know, he has to jump two ledges (?)

also he was sweating like crazy and panting. i don't know if it's added makeup or what but it looked real haha

aww and now they're talking about techniques in post-prod in order to tell an effective story!

it made me think of how cool episode 7's ending sequence was, because they were essentially three scenes intercut with each other even though they happened at three different times:

before Pat chose to lose the bet (past - audition), during (present - agreeing to be Riam), and after (future - Pran cooks curry).

or the pilot's kid flashbacks, or episode 2-5 JHS flashbacks, or the late reveal in episode 10 that Pat ran after Pran w/ his guitar.

they're all so good.

yep. there it is.

it's really so good that we only saw Pat's xylophone part of the audition first, and cut to another scene, before we unraveled Pat's monologue part of the audition. we don't get to see it until the end.

it's like episode 3's ending. we thought pat's attempt in persuading his gang to help pran wasn't successful because they purposely cut part of the conversation off after. but then they appeared, and we flash back again — that's when we reveal that korn, chang, and mo actually agreed.

this show thrives off of fooling its audience and/or making us wait. it's a cool recurring thing.

ooh. look at how interesting pran's pov is in the rooftop scene.

from this talk it's canon that pran was trying to move on from pat starting the morning of the sleepover and that's why he seems "fine." (also because he's proving to be a better actor than he thinks.)

p'amp said that Our Song could work as a sad song too when she watched episode 11's ending. naurrr.

they watched the Just Friends music video but it was muted so we can't hear the reaction of the audience. :(

omg i knew it! there's a rerecording of Just Friend.

because in the final trailer, nanon's voice quality is different compared to the official recording that is out in the streaming platforms and in the music video.

you can hear the first recording here.

the differences! especially nanon singing "tam gan" + it's heavier on the backup vocals.

and that was part 1!

wow. it's been a year yet until now there are no english subtitles for part 2. :(

yknow how i go on about not having listened to the solo albums? it’s nat day. i listened to nat. liveblog below

-spooooky ghoooooost

-you know technically this is my first & only 100% complete & utter blind tally hall experience + liveblog. everything else has been an album i've already heard or variations thereupon

-alright well this doesn't sound like tally hall

-hi rob

-boy man this is poppy but it sure is rob's voice singing

-"he don't wanna lose" damn is that a tally hall reference????????/ /j

-this ghost sounds pretty damn relatable

-still sounds like something i'd hear on the radio (derogatory (affectionate))

-does this one have a music video? i'll have to get to those eventually won't i

-oooh funky pronoun shenanigans one of my favorite types of shenanigans

-what baby did rob pick up off the street to provide these backing vocals

-white star??? is that a dw reference???? /j it'd be almost relevant by the time this came out

-i don't know anything about imagine dragons but this reminds me of them

-this is an 80's-ass fadeout

-oh so he's namedropping every track here? just planting the words old bike right in the first verse

-wahoo audio channel shenanigans

-oh there's the hum biddy biddys i heard about

-this is distinctly much less like bicycle race (queen) than i was expecting

-then again i mostly know bicycle race (queen) from lemon demon's cover of it so.

-this does indeed sound like the hawaii part ii of rob cantor

-classic acoustic guitar use. minimal percussion

-nevermind there's the drums & rock guitar everything's changed

-now it sounds like some actual tally hall stuff

-whomst

-guest vocals? i should've seen them coming but didn't expect any in this song at least

-oh there's that lyric. i've seen it plenty of times & always had to imagine what it sounded like

-this in fact indeed giving me 1985 vibes

-is that the year rob was born? it'd be near then at least

[following that comment was an exchange between me & june about birthdays. it told me rob’s born in 1983 but ross was born in 1985 so maybe rob made a tribute to his old bandmate. who knose <3]

-those drums. those synths. he's really going for the 80s alright

-i feel like i'm gradually forgetting this is an album by rob cantor, yellow tie of tally hall

-see, hawaii part ii was produced to the point of feeling unfeasible & unintended for live performances. but this album hits a middle ground where it's like, if this were done by anyone other than rob cantor of tally hall, it could be done live, but it's just rob cantor, not of tally hall, making an album himself, so i just know nothing about this would ever be done live. it's an interesting effect

-this album needs more tmbg influence

-this sounds less like going purple than i was expecting, which can apply to both the whole album & this song right here

-i recognize that voice from hawaii part ii

-i think? i need to check the credits

-stephanie? no not her. the lady from black rainbows?

-i'm blanking on her fuckin name it's on the tip of my tongue

-madison?? alison??? no alison hanna is from another song god what is her name

-yeah madi diaz thanks june

-i don't even know if that's actually her that's just who she sounds like

-what's interesting about this song is (just like hawaii part ii) tally hall didn't do duets very much but this actually sounds like one

-i promise i won't do hawaii part ii comparisons the whole way through it's just what comes to mind

-good god madi has some good range those are high fuckin notes

-OH GOD

-this is faster than i was expecting

-wow okay. this is no longer a jh song alright

-sounds like some terraria synths in here. they could actually be in terarria for all i know

-this is the song they've been putting on all these villain playlists?? i couldn't think of a less villainous song if i tried

-oh thank god the tambourine is back i've been starved for it

-i wouldn’t know, i go on even though

-oh this is the one with that really wild music video isn't it. good old acoustic guitar

-i can actually picture this one on a tally hall album. he's being kinda silly with the percussion but the vocals at least. hm

-honestly what intrigues me most is how it's nothing like the asteroid musical pieces + going purple. those are all i knew of rob's solo stuff until now & i'm not picking up on many similarities. oh and the shia labeoufs/christian bale

-damn he's doing the vocal filters again

-i keep thinking i'm hearing zubin somewhere in the background- wait no that's my cat at the door now

-how many shrimps do you have to eat

-alright now this one's just silly. congrats to it for making me laugh

-if that's real whistling in the background there it's just gotta be bora i know this

-if that's real accordion in the background then it's surely also bora

-this sounds damn near like nonsensical spanish- i thought la telanovela was after this? /j

-he just pulled out all the stops for this album. everywhere.

-you know i kinda thought of extreme vibrato/reverb as a joe thing but i'm really hearing a shit ton of it here so maybe it's a rob thing too. or maybe i should listen to jhjh before i make any conclusions

-who. who's this? i absolutely don't recognize this guest singer. not from hawaii part ii presumably then

-if i can say one thing about this album it's that it's absolutely living up to its cover

-so what does this have to do with telanovelas. i watched que hora es in 9th grade spanish i know what they're like /hj

-oh this is the one about that guy who isn't actually dead. epic

-now this sounds more like the solo viral pieces of his

-i'm pretty sure laughter is the intended reaction to have here so good on rob  for achieving that- wait it's over?

-oh. guess he was taking more influence from tmbg than i thought

-let your mother know is the song i've heard absolutely nothing from other people about. and now. i suppose i can't blame them

-oh you know what my complaint about this album is? it's very little like lemon demon. too many mundane 2nd person ballads, not enough 3rd or 1st person stuff about absolutely nothing

-also from a musical standpoint he doesn't make things stand out super well. it feels a tab bit sanded down. like there are bits in the vocals & instrumentals that feel like they're meant to be a big change, but there's no notable emotional shift in the tone

-ayyyyy this is the one andrew worked on!

-yeah fuck with the tonality of it mess shit up go ham

-i mean if you're going to include flute in a rock album you've got to make it worth it

-i've not heard that song but i think this is meant to be the spiritual opposite to special by jh

-you know what i want from this song? andrdew vocals. it can do whatever it wants i just want to hear my man sing

-definitely bora's whistling no way it's anything else

-showing off your vocal range there mr cantor?

-oh hey this is the one that makes my friends cry

-i've not listened to songs about girls but this is reminding me of it anyway

-this feels like audio taken from a music video that had sfx added to the original song

-like bro. you can let your lyrics stand for themselves. you don't need to dangle me on a rope from a bridge over a highway

-i mean he might as well end the album this way. he might as well.

-ending thoughts, i guess. rob does what he does well but i think he ought to be doing something slightly different

also look at this yt comment i found on the comprehension amalgamation upload

[jinjojess]

Guess I need to get up at some point today, huh? Here's my docket: - make custom stickers for my JHS kids - plan out a few things for our next work meeting - write up a report on one of the workshops I ran last week - do a metric ton of laundry - wash dishes and cook lunch/dinner - start reading/liveblogging DRT3 - start translating a thing I want to get done - breed/raise pokemon - play V3 - shower - Skype call my mother and then my girlfriend - sleep at a resonable hour

[jaclynhyde]

anyway i have to actually sleep but the funniest thing about oberon so far is that all his my room lines before his last ascension are like "i'm so cute and charming. wow castoria is here! what a crazy world!" except william shakespeare which is "guda deliver my fan mail to this shitstain! it's full of poison."
