Grogu standing and looking very sad. Watercolor painting by me. Image from The Mandalorian, Season 1, Episode 5, The Gunslinger.

“Hey, Fennec? Can you give us a hand over here?”

Grogu heard his dad call out to his companion. He smiled because he knew what was coming. 

“What? You can’t handle a little Mandalorian armor? Are you sure you didn’t just take your armor from some Mando who tripped in front of you and hit their head?”

Grogu knew that Fennec liked teasing his dad. Most days Grogu would have scolded her about it, but not today. They were supposed to go fishing and that whole trip had been sideswiped by a pile of Mandalorian armor. That told everyone what was important to Din Djarin. He was glad that Fennec called him out on that nonsense.

She and Grogu walked over to the others. That Fennec kept pace with Grogu, rather than rushing ahead of him also made him smile. She was trying to teach Din Djarin a lesson and Grogu wondered if his dad was capable of learning it. Maybe. Maybe not. 

“I asked you to come over here because I knew you’d spent some time in the Mid-Rim. Have you ever heard of a bounty hunter named Bartlebee? Whoever they are, they had their name inscribed on a piece of this armor.”

“Bartlebee? Hmmm. Doesn’t ring a bell. There was a hunter named Bartnlee. He didn’t last long. Got on the wrong side of the Moog syndicate and ended up in a compactor on Takodana. Maz didn’t like that at all. Can’t blame her really. It made a heck of a mess. Let me see the writing.”

Grogu followed Fennec over to the pile of armor and hopped onto his dad’s shoulder so he could get a better view. Hmmm. The inscription looked strange to him. 

“This says, ‘Barter Fee’, not Bartlebee. I’m guessing whoever this last belonged to had to trade it for something. Given what you Mandos are like, I doubt they were Mandalorian, since your lot would rather die than let anyone else take their armor. Probably a scavenger. Why does it matter? Won’t your armorer just melt it down and start over?”

Grogu shrugged. He didn’t know what would happen to it. The Armorer sometimes melted the beskar down, but other times, she just made adjustments to it. He’d coo’d to his dad.

“What about the other names? It’s possible that some of these folks are on Mandalore or part of another Mandalorian covert. What do you think, Fett?”

Grogu turned to look at the Daimyo, who had been standing there very quietly, while Fennec and his dad had discussed the matter. In fact, Grogu couldn’t remember the Daimyo saying anything since they had entered the room after all the clatter.

“I know who once owned this armor. What I don’t know is why anyone would give it to you as gift. This once belonged to Pre Vizsla. He caused a lot of trouble for Mandalore and Mandalorians throughout the galaxy. I had thought this armor had been melted down long ago. I recommend that fate for it now. No Mandalorian should end up wearing the armor of a man who betrayed everyone he knew.”

Uff. No wonder the Daimyo had been so quiet up to that point. He must have remembered the stories his father had told him as well as what he had learned while that whole mess had played out.

“Sounds like it should be melted down for the benefit of Mandalorian foundlings. No need to keep that lineage alive. Are there anymore Vizslas?”

His dad appeared to be asking everyone in the room that question. 

Grogu shrugged. The Daimyo shrugged. The Major Domo, who had returned with the mech and the droid that brought the stuff to them, shrugged.

Fennec did not shrug. 

“Hey, droid. Who is your master?”

Huh… Grogu hadn’t thought of asking that question. 

“You are not authorized to access that information, human meat bag.”

The Daimyo turned to Din Djarin to ask a question.

“Is that an old HK unit? I haven’t seen them in… never. I’ve only seen them in history vids.”

Grogu looked at the droid with renewed curiosity. HK units would have been incredibly old. Did droids really last that long.

“I don’t know. I know that mech is far more modern. Maybe it knows.”

Grogu took that as his cue to chirp and coo at the mech, who rolled right over to him. The little mech began to chirp and beep back at Grogu. Apparently the droid’s name was ‘thirty’, which was a strange name, and it worked for someone called Muun Bajir and Muun had a friend named Vizsla. 

Grogu explained what he learned using sign language because they were all pretty fluent, except for the Major Domo who was still just learning his numbers and colors. 

“Does your friend ‘Thirty’ know where that Vizsla is? Maybe the armor should be returned to them?”

It was Grogu’s turn to shrug and then re-address Thirty and ask the question. The answer was interesting and Grogu instantly wondered if his dad was going to really follow up on it.

He relayed the information. 

“Mandalore? What do you think, Grogu? We’ll bring this to them and then go fishing there?”

Yippee! 

Grogu nodded his head and began to laugh. Fishing on Mandalore! That was going to be a lot more exciting than fishing on Tatooine, no matter how big and scary the fish there were. That was actually a good part of the fun and excitement. Just imagine… he might actually catch a mythosaur!

Nobody cares about the Muppets humans and that is fair, so today i'm gonna step in and share my top ten Muppets human characters ranking, from best to not B best bc i'm bored (also i didnt watch muppets take manthatam so if theres a memorable human there let me know)

1. Tim curry pirate is one of my favorite muppets villains, he's funny, he's entertaining and his song is silly

2. Mary

I don't even need to explain, she's Mary

5. Lady Hollyday

All she does is sit around and eat up, don't need to elaborate

4. Nadya

She's a girlboss idc

5. Dominic

I normally count him as a duo whit Constantine, but he's entertaining and i like how he reveals against him for a partion of the movie

6. Jean Pierre

Not much to say but same as deal as Dominic, a duo whit Sam the Eagle and really entertaining

7. Max and Moog

Placing them together because they are more of an honorable mention before i go down the characters i don't like or don't stand out that much to me.

They are both funny and silly and nice additions to their respectives show/movie

8. Nora

I'm gonna get a ton of hate for this one, but she's a character that develops under time (just like her sister and Moog) since is a show and i get that, but in the first 4 episodes she's gets too much moments where she's kinda egocentric, she lies about her job that causes Janice to gets sick, refuses to talk over her sister, blames stuffs on other people, etc (also not her characters fault but she gets so much screentime sometimes, even thought the show is called muppets mayhem).

Over time and in the last 3 episodes of she show she gets better and she's a tolerable character. Don't get me wrong, i don't hate her, just saying she's still a character in development and over all a nice character

9. Doc Hopper

He's an insane sales man that wanted to exterminate Kermit and his friends, pulled a gun at him, called a mercenary, got a whole armed gang, and a Russian stereotype scientists just because Kermit didnt want to dance on his commercial; trully a madman. Not much to say outside of that thought and the follow that car joke

10. Richman (can't add an image sorry)

Only memorable thing abt him to me is his song and how deadly pushed him out a building.

11. LADY HOLLYDAYS BROTHER

I HATE HIM, I'M GLAD HE GOT HIS ASS BEATED, AND SHOULD HAVE NOT MADE PIGGY APOLOGIZE

I could talk about more humans but this is an already long post and theres no more characters i even remember so that all for now! Goodbye and i hope someone gets my love for Mary from muppets 2011 (also i hate JJ, i'm not adding him)

"Hey, this pretty much universally beloved video game OST actually kind of hits-- why is no one else talking about this?"

Sometime last year in September while looking for more background music to study and write to other than the Neopets: The Darkest Faerie OST, I looked up the Minecraft OST on YouTube.

Then that same December, my personal 2023 Spotify Wrapped released with C418 as my number one artist, who produced the Minecraft Volume Alpha album in 2011 and the Minecraft Volume Beta album in 2013; along with his three 2018 singles for the OST Axolotl, Dragon Fish, and Shuniji.

with a total of 2,518 minutes listened to, in the span of a little less than four months; I was put in his top 1% of listeners-- something I had definitely felt a little embarrassed about at the time.

My number three artist then was Lena Raine, who also worked on the later entries into the OST, with Minecraft: Nether Update in 2020; Minecraft: Caves and Cliffs in 2021; Minecraft: The Wild Update in 2022; and also has a fair number of tracks in the most recent addition to the OST, 2024 Minecraft: Tricky Trials.

Mine-Craft

I can't even say that the reason why I can focus so well to this soundtrack is because I have a nostalgia for the game like in my Darkest Faerie Post. While I did absolutely play the game a lot when I was younger like every other twelve-year-old with computer access; for as long as I can remember, I've specifically turned off the in-game music so I could listen to my own.

That's why for so long, I never really had any palpable attachment to the music.

However, due to that whim in September, I have discovered probably my favorite Video Game OST ever-- one that I listen to for schoolwork yes-- but also one that I often listen to when walking around my college campus between classes, or when biking around my neighborhood, or reading a book for fun-- or when I just need to calm down.

Variety Hour

I think the one of the main reasons why it's so versatile is just the number of artists that have produced songs towards its collection. There's C418 and Lena Raine, but there's also Kumi Tanioka, Samuel Åberg, and Adam Cherof.

This could have been a drawback, where so many different contributors to the same project might've lead to some discordance in the whole sound of the OST-- but none of the artist's sounds really clash with each other all too much, which is incredibly impressive considering the time gap from the release of the first album to the most current album.

Probably one of the most different songs I've heard on the soundtrack so far is Adam Cherof 's 2024 Precipice -- and honestly, I couldn't care less because this song is genuinely incredible. There's so much passion, and energy, and it really feels like you're standing atop a precipice, with the faster tempo of the song and the airy echoing of chimes and keys acting to simulate the wind whipping past your ears-- it's fun, and adventurous, and different and I adore it.

Back to the Beginning

Because Minecraft: Tricky Trials released so recently, it was not in my 2023 wrapped, but with just how many great and repeatable songs are on that album, I fully except to see both Precipice and Creator in my 2024 wrapped.

The song that did take my number one spot though was Équinoxe, off that original album, with Ancestry off of Minecraft: Caves and Cliffs taking my second spot and Moog City again from that original album taking my third spot.

While both Moog City and Équinoxe are beautiful pieces that I could go on and on about, I specifically want to talk about Ancestry.

This song is this beautiful and unnerving atmospheric piece that specifically was designed to play in the Deep Dark Biome, which as the name suggests, is a haunting little area deep underground with little to no light.

I love all the echoing in this song, the crispy static just under the pulsating higher tones, the glitchy wind instrument sounds-- it all contributes to this gorgeous "mysterious and unknown scary" ambiance that the dev team was aiming for.

There are a couple songs like this one too, full of a darker, more somber atmosphere-- another one of my favorites being from C418's Minecraft Volume Beta, The End, or from his Minecraft Volume Alpha, Thirteen.

I guess I'm a sucker for a darker soundtrack because the Minecraft OST has more than its fair share of cold and heavy ambiance.

Looking Forward

I could genuinely talk at length for at least half of this soundtrack. There are so many rich pieces, and motifs, and melodies that I've grown incredibly found of. There are still songs on the OST that I feel like I'm discovering for the first time, where they might not have caught my ear the first couple listens-- but after a while I've started to really hear the intricacies in their scores and gain a new appreciation for them.

I'm honestly considering making a tier list for the soundtrack, or maybe even doing a couple posts at the very least.

I genuinely think that if anyone hasn't listened to the Minecraft OST, they should give it a shot, whether it just be for fun, or to study and write to. You really don't need to have an overwhelming sense of nostalgia to enjoy the music-- and I'm proof.

Here is the entire, currently up-to-date Minecraft OST playlist on Spotify neatly organized in chronological order by user Darra (Everybody say thank you Darra). If you don't have Spotify though, here is the similarly organized playlist by user NightBunny8 on Youtube (Everybody say thank you NightBunny8).

To anyone who is familiar with soundtrack though, what are your favorite songs? or the opposite; if anyone hates any of the songs off the OST, I'd love to hear which ones. I can't say I really Hate any of the songs... maybe one... but that can wait for the tier list or a subsequent post.

330: Clara Rockmore // Theremin

Theremin Clara Rockmore 1977, Delos (Bandcamp)

100 years since its invention, the theremin remains an oddity. It is in every respect an antiquated piece of technology, and yet like the Tesla coil and the plasma globe it still provokes the primal wonder of science-as-magic. The advancements of a modern synthesizer unit are hidden from the eye—if you presented it to an unthawed person from the 19th century, they would at least be able to infer that the device is controlled using the buttons and keys. But the theremin player creates sound by coaxing an invisible magnetic field with their bare hands, as though they are pulling its warbling voice from the air itself—and indeed, inventor Léon Theremin’s artful original name for his instrument was the ætherphone.

To watch a performance by Clara Rockmore, the instrument’s foremost practitioner, is to see something that resembles a scene from a séance or a German Expressionist film. A petite, dark-haired woman with the eyes of an Orthodox Virgin Mary, she would stand ramrod straight behind the lectern-like theremin, nearly motionless save for the almost palsied-looking convulsions of her knotted hands and the tensing of her eyebrows, the only sign on her otherwise slack features of the intensity of her concentration. She looks as though she is forcing down the song attempting to leap from her throat until it screams through her fingertips like steam from a kettle. As synth pioneer Robert Moog explains in his liner notes to Rockmore’s 1977 LP Theremin, her absolute stillness was not a theatrical device but a requirement of playing the instrument: the theremin’s magnetic field encompasses not only the performers hands but their entire upper body, meaning that even a minor motion of the head will influence the instrument’s pitch. But the austere figure she cut no doubt contributed to her allure, the sense that she was herself as unearthly as the instrument she played.

Rockmore, a violin prodigy since age 5, took to Theremin’s invention sometime in the late 1920s. Her concerts popularized and legitimated the instrument, but it would be nearly a half-century before the Theremin LP, her first, was finally released. Produced by Shirleigh Moog and engineered by her husband Robert, one gets the sense that the Moogs are fans trying to correct an oversight, to record the album as it would’ve sounded if it had been made her during her prime. The results are captivating, even haunting. At times you may be fooled into thinking you’re listening to a recording of a human soprano from some decayed shellac disc; in other moments, you will be moved by how world-weary an electronic tone can sound.  Rockmore is accompanied, as she had been since the beginning, by her sister Nadia Reisenberg on piano, and her selections focus on 19th and early 20th century compositions, with a heavy emphasis on the Romantics. A majority of the pieces here come from her fellow Russians, including Tchaikovsky, Glazunov, Rachmaninoff, and Stravinsky. My personal favourite of these is her take on Joseph Achron’s “Hebrew Melody.” Inspired by traditional laments, Rockmore’s theremin evokes the sobbing characteristic (krekhts) of Jewish vocal music, while her sister thunders and pirouettes on her piano in a classically Romantic style.

Theremin stands apart from other electronic classical records like Wendy Carlos’ Switched-On Bach because it never sounds wholly like a novelty despite the theremin’s high camp potential (and, for that matter, Rockmore’s). It is peculiar, and my fascination with it definitely originated in a perverse nostalgia for esoteric junk—but the somber beauty of the sisters’ performance wiped the smirk from my face from virtually the moment I dropped the needle.

Record #10 / Item #49 – Sleater-Kinney – Dig Me Out

I’m combining my decluttering efforts with my record project for this post because—surprise—I actually plan to declutter this record!

When I pulled this one out, I already knew I didn’t have a strong attachment to the music, but I still gave it a listen with an open mind. My ex bought this record when we were together and left it behind when we broke up, but that’s not the reason I’m letting it go. While I do like some Sleater-Kinney songs, I just don’t enjoy the band enough to feel the need to keep Dig Me Out.

Listening to it again confirmed that I have no emotional connection to this record—it doesn’t spark anything for me. Maybe its association with my ex leaves me numb, but honestly, even if that weren’t the case, I know I’d never choose this over any other record in my collection. Plus, it’s just a standard black pressing. If it were a special edition or a colored vinyl, it might be harder to part with, but as it stands, there’s nothing compelling me to hold onto it.

Verdict: This record didn’t cost me anything (thanks, ex!) and has just been sitting in my collection, taking up space. Unless a friend really wants it, I’ll set it aside, gather a few more records I don’t want, and sell them to my local used record store.

Lesson I’m Trying to Learn: Not every item needs a profound reason to go—sometimes you just realize something doesn’t belong in your collection, and that’s okay.

Good news for the ranking—I’ve finally found the line! Here's the list.

BadBadNotGood – IV

Camille Saint-Saëns – Danse Macabre

Grimes – Visions

The Beatles – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band

Novos Baianos – Acabou Chorare

Jenny Hval – Blood Bitch

Claude Dejean – Moog

King Britt Presents Sister Gertrude Morgan – Let’s Make a Record

Grace Jones – “I’m Not Perfect (But I’m Perfect For You)” (Single)

Sleater-Kinney – Dig Me Out

Nickel Bin #27:

Paul McCartney's Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five

My dance moves should be legendary. I tend to balance on one foot and wave my arms around while making extreme faces and wiggling whatever I can find worth wiggling. TickTock longs for me to show off my sweet moves. But I've told them to shove it: my flip phone refuses to tick, nor does it tock.

But McCartney's 1973 ode to... I'm not sure what... is a song that truly rocks. The song is both simple - Paul provides driving drums and piano - and utterly complex - in the last 30 seconds a full orchestra flips the script on A Day in the Life while a ramped-up lead guitar, free jazz horns and a fantastically threatening Moog gets me shimmying all over the kitchen and sets my family in flight (I often forget how many knives I'm wielding).

My almost famous other brother has a theory about McCartney in the 70's: he just smoked way too much weed. Additionally, or relatedly, he was deeply insecure.

And it shows: the record's insert photo of him, above, standing amidst Black children in Lagos, is deeply mortifying: there's Sir Paul, Christ incarnate in white robe and mandalas, come to share his beneficence amongst the poor lesser souls in whose studio he failed to actually record this record. The kids wound up little more than a photo op as Paul ditched them after a few days and layered Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five's infinite layers back in a London studio, the costs for which would have surely provided lifelong income for any one of those kids.

Were I one of the youngins in question I'd be pissed: Wings used them to sell records.

But I'm not them. Rather, I'm just a very marginally impressive white dude with a dollar bin copy of Band on the Run who's cooking homecut French fries and hotdogs for his son's 20th birthday tonight and this song, even after its problem are noted, still freakin' shreds.

It's 40 years after 1985. We're all very much alive. And we sure can't get enough of that sweet stuff Sir Paul gets behind...

answer my music questions boy. 20, 15, and 9 💚

HELLO sorry this is late but thank yooooouuuuuuuuuuuuu

9. favourite lyrics of your #1 song

do i have to do this all over again by the monkees. there aren't many lyrics in this song and they all fuck me up, but verse 2 stands out.

15. most danceable track

andrew in drag by the magnetic fields & the second half of eusexua by fka twigs for sure

20. happiest song

almost all of the songs are depressing or angry or neutral... even the monkees songs are either sad or far too complex to be considered happy. but I'm gonna go with daily nightly by the monkees because it;s poetic and vague enough to pass the test and it makes ME extremely happy and, as my good friend pitypang once put it, it's basically micky dolenz messing around on a moog over mike nesmith's dense but beautiful lyrics. <3

Weremayhem: Songs of Beasts. Ch 53: Music Finds a Way

Nora was on the side of the road. Her car had died on her. She was on the phone with JJ but her phone died on her too. The black haired female huffed in anger. It was like everything was falling down on her. 

“Great. Maybe a little plan wouldn’t have been the worst idea” Label Lady said to herself. She stands with her hands on her hips. Suddenly Nora starts to hear music from afar. She could tell it was some type of rock music. The black haired female turned to face the road as she saw something coming. 

It was the mayhem’s bus with speakers on the roof. Animal was on the roof too with his drum set. He was playing with the music. 

“What the…” Nora starts to say. She was in shock. A smile starts to form on her face as she sees it was the electric mayhem. On the left side of the bus, Lips and Zoot were playing their saxophone and trumpet. The right side, Floyd and Janice play their guitars. Dr. Teeth was driving the bus as he sang. 

“That is so illegal” said the black haired female. “But so awesome,” she added with a huge smile on her face. The bus pulled over in front of her. The door opens and Moog walks out of the bus with a smile on his face. 

“The Electric Mayhem has arrived” said the black haired male. Nora’s sister walks out right behind him. 

“But how?” replied Nora. 

“You’ve got Red to thank for that” replied Hannah with a smile on her face. 

“Animal?” replied Label Lady. The drummer laughs as he shakes his head yes. 

“What could he have possibly said to get through to you guys?” Nora asked in disbelief. A short flashback shows Animal yelling “Nora gone” happens then it ends. 

“The fact is, for all you’ve done for all of us, we can’t let you give up your dream,” said Floyd Pepper. 

“Aw!” said the black haired female with a soft smile. 

“Also, Lips thought you were dead,” said Janice. 

“Yeah, yeah” added Animal. 

“Aw. Okay” replied Label Lady. 

“And from the first moment I met you, Nobu, I knew that someday that you were gonna change all of us here for the better” replied Lips. 

“But now, I know that you’re…” he started to add before his mumbles became hard to understand. The blonde male put his hand over his heart. 

“This was, like, the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to…” Nora started to say before she realized that she understand the trumpet player. 

“Oh my God! I understood Lips!” she said in shock. 

“Well, that’s cause you’re one of us. You’re family now, Dorothy” replied Zoot. 

“You, like, always have a seat on our bus” said Janice with a smile. 

“So, hop abroad, Labels. We got places to be and people to rock” said Teeth. 

“Let’s roll to the Bowl!” added Floyd. 

“Hey, guys, I hate to tell you this but the show was canceled” replied the black haired female. 

“No one’s gonna be there,” she added. 

“No one or everyone?” replied the ginger haired male. The band started to chuckle with joy. 

“No one’s gonna be there.” She doesn’t know what she’s talking about” said Lips with a laugh. Nora looks confused and looks at Hannah and Moog. 

Later, they arrived at the Hollywood Bowl, playing on stage. The place was packed full of people. They were playing “Join Together” , the same song that they were playing on the road to find Nora. The band’s outfits were shiny and had some stones to make the clothes shine like a diamond in the stage lights. 

Label Lady, Hannah, and Moog were backstage with Lewis and Annie. The crowd was cheering with joy. “All right, Hollywood Bowl!” said the doc into the microphone. 

“Yeah!” replied Floyd with a smirk. 

“We am again, is once more, are still and will always be, they whom are known as the eternally reunited after being briefly divided Electric Mayhem! “ the red haired male said with a smile on his face. The crowd cheers again. 

Backstage, JJ suddenly appears. He walked up to the five. “Hey, hey! Welcome back to music!” he said with a smile on his face. 

“JJ? Wha…I didn’t expect you to still show up” replied Nora in shock. 

“I always got your back, Smoosh” he replied with a smirk. 

“Don’t call me that” replied the black haired female. 

“So, is this the part where you say “Let’s just be friends?” JJ asked. 

“I mean, I’d really like that,” she replied with a soft smile. Moog smiles a bit, he still have a chance with Nora. 

“Yeah, me, too. Well, I’ll see you around, Nora” replied the ex-lover. 

“See ya, Smoosh” she replied with a smirk. 

“Don’t call me that” he replied with a laugh before he left backstage. 

“He should be call “Road Kill” said Lewis under his breath. 

“Lewis no” replied Label Lady with a soft laugh. 

“As exciting as it is to set sail on our own, we realized, without each other, we’re all just a bit lost at sea.” said Dr. Teeth on stage. 

“Allow me to use this opportunity to give a most enthusimitastic shout-out to my mama and daddy” He added with a smile. 

“Tonight’s their very first official Electric Mayhem concert” said the good doctor. 

“Hey, Mama! Hey, Daddy!” he added as he waved to them. 

Tina and Gerald were sitting at the special seating area so they could get a good view of the band. Teeth’s father had a nasty scar over the eye that skekRey cut. He also has bandages over the hand that was stabbed through. Teeth’s mother only has a little bit of bandages showing on her shoulder due to her black t-shirt, the shirt was covered in pins. Gerald also has the same black t-shirt with the electric mayhem on it. 

Teeth’s siblings were there too. Liam was in a leather jacket with Rose under the table to keep the bright lights away from her eyes. Luna was wearing a dark blue sparkly dress with some blue eyeliner on her eyelids. Flora was wearing a t-shirt with the mayhem’s logo. Xavier was wearing just a red t-shirt. 

“That’s my boy” said Tina Teeth with a small tear in her eyes, her voice was weak but had pride in it. She was proud of her son. A big smile was on her face. 

“I, uh, never thought I’d see them there in the crowd, cheering me on” said Dr. Teeth. He couldn’t believe that this was real. His parents were here even after being hurt by hunters to save Lewis, Annie, and Animal. The good doctor’s voice was weak, he started to tear up a bit. 

The ginger haired male shakes his head a bit as he tries to collect his words. His voice starts to break as he speaks again. “And it’s all thanks to one special friend,” he added. 

“Oh, man” he mumbled under his breath as he shook his head again. The doc took a deep breath. 

“It’s okay, Doc. Just speak from the heart” said Janice with a soft smile on her face. He nods with a soft smile forming on his face. 

“Yeah” he softly said before looking at the crowd. 

“This song is dedicated to a lady who’s been taking care of her family her whole life” Teeth said as he looked over at Nora. 

“Nora! Nora!” yelled Animal as he jumped up and down. 

“But now, you got this family to take care of you” said the ginger haired male. Label Lady started to tear up a bit. It touched her heart. 

Dr. Teeth started to play his keyboard, piano ballad filled the air. He started to sing “Believe in us” The spotlight was only shining on him. Rock guitar riffs start to play as Janice plays her guitar. The spotlight shines down on her too. 

Animal starts to beat his drums as the crowd starts to cheer. Then rest join into the song. Floyd starts to sing as he looks at his lover, Janice. Label Lady smiles as they play. She can feel the love from the band. 

Lewis smiles as he watches the band play, his family play. He started to tear up too. The chorus people came out and  started to sing. “And cue the fireworks” said Moog with a smile on his face. 

The fireworks light up the night sky. The crowd cheers with joy. Tina and Gerald were shocked but amazed by the beautiful fireworks. Liam gasps as he sees the colors in the sky, the first time he sees fireworks. He normally stays inside to comfort his king cobra, Princess. Luna and Flora throw their hands up in the air and let out joy filled screams. 

“Whoo-hoo!” said Tina as she threw her hands up in the air but quickly put them back down to the healing scar on her waist. 

At a different table, Penny and Zakai were enjoying the fireworks in the sky. “Wow!” yelled Mrs. Waxman with joy in her voice. 

“Its beautiful” said Mr. Waxman with a soft smile. “Like you” he added as he looked at his wife. The pink haired female blushes and gives him a quick kiss on the cheek. 

“You’re too sweet for your own good.” she said with a soft smile. 

“And you’re too spicy for your own good,” he replied with a soft chuckle. 

Meanwhile backstage, Hannah watches the fireworks. “How am I not posting this right now?” she asked in shock. 

“Cause you’re living it” replied her sister with a smirk on her face. As the band plays, Nora hugs Moog, her sister, Lewis, and Annie with a huge smile on her face. 

After the show, Dr. Teeth stops his parents in the parking lot. “Mama and Daddy?” he asked with his hat in his hands. 

“Yes, Junior?” replied Tina as she turned to face her oldest son. The ginger haired male took a deep breath. 

“Thank you for saving Animal and my son from the hunters. I know I shouldn’t have left them. I should’ve stayed and been a good dad but I failed. I..I let the damn phone take over my brain. I let it ruin my family. Now, I’m willing to be the dad that my kids need and the pal that Animal need. It's something I need to do. I..I can’t thank you too much because you did something that I should’ve done.” said Junior. 

“Junior, I’m glad that you got some sense in that head of yours.” replied Gerald with a huff. 

“And that you take the time to thank us for saving your friend and our grandson” he added as he hugged Teeth. The ginger haired male hugged his father back with some tears in his eyes. Tina hugged the two. 

The next day, the band was at the album shop. They were looking at their album. “Whoa!” said the band in shock. 

“We, like, totally did it” said Janice with a smile on her face. Floyd and the doc nod their heads. 

“Did what?” asked Zoot as he rested his arm on the stack of albums. 

“I can now say without fabrication or hesitation, this truly is the greatest achievement of my lifetime” said Dr. Teeth with a huge smile on his face. 

“Fer sure. Now, let’s, like, buy every single copy and totally give them out for free” replied the blonde female. 

“Yes. Let’s do that” replied Floyd Pepper. 

“No, no, no, no. Don’t do that” Nora quickly said. 

“Don’t!” said Animal as he looked at the saxophonist. 

“Although, I’ve been thinking. Now, that we have a legit album, we actually have a reason to go on tour” said Label Lady. 

“What do you mean “we?” asked the red haired male as he looked up the black haired female. 

“Well, a proper tour requires a proper manager” replied Nora. 

“So, I was thinking that we could include me,” she added. 

“Me?” asked the drummer. Floyd whispers into the wild man’s ear. The band kept whispers between each other. 

The doc clears his throat. “I believe I speak for everyone when I say, “Well, all right!” said Teeth with a huge smile on his face. 

“You rock that spot!” said Floyd Pepper as the band cheered. 

“Let’s go do it,” said Nora with a smile on her face. The band started to leave the store. The black haired female quickly turned her head. “Wait, now?” she asked. 

“Yeah!” replied the band. 

“Road trip!” yelled Animal as he jumped up and down. 

“Let’s go!” said the red haired male as he walked behind Zoot. Moog stay behind in the store. 

“We’re leaving right now?” Label Lady asks the mayhem. She noticed the black haired male staying behind in the store. The black haired female walk over to him. 

“Hey, you coming or what?” asked Nora. 

“You know, the concert’s over. You guys are going on tour” replied Moog. 

“So, you know, it’s back to following the band,” he added with a soft smile. The black haired female let out a soft laugh and shook her head a bit. 

“You’re with the band” replied Label Lady with a soft smile on her face. 

“I’m with the band?” Moog asked in a little bit of shock. She nods. A huge smile covers his face. The joy washed over his body. The two start to get close, about to kiss. 

Until Animal got between them. “Road trip! Road trip! Road trip!” yelled the drummer with joy. The wild man quickly run off back outside the store. 

“Right, we should… We’ve got to…” Label Lady starts to say as blush covers her face. 

“Yeah” replied the mayhem fan with blush on his cheeks. 

Later after coming back from the store, the band was packing up the bus for the tour. “There you go” said Teeth as he helped Lips  with some things into the bus through one of the windows. 

“A little more. Little more. There it is” said the good doctor. 

“Little more?” asked the blonde male. 

“Thank you” said the ginger haired male as he set the case down. He poke his head back out to give his lover a quick kiss on the cheek. The trumpet player blushes before leaving to get more things. 

“Ooh, don’t forget the marshmallows” said Janice as she stuck her head out of the back seat window. Nora closes the back of the bus as Hannah walks over to her, her sister was holding the family photos book. 

“Here. Don’t forget your photo album. Little piece of home for the road” said Hannah as she handed it to her sister. 

“Thank you. You know, I’m gonna miss you so much” replied Nora with a soft smile. 

“I’m going to miss you crashing on  my couch,” replied Nora’s sister. 

“No, you’re not,” replied Label Lady with a smirk. 

“No. No, I’m not” Hannah replied with a chuckle. 

“Just remember, I was the original Fanahannah” replied Hannah’s sister. The two hug each other for the last time. 

Inside the bus, Moog looks at the photos on the ceiling of the bus. “Home, sweet bus” said Dr. Teeth as he sits in the driver seats. 

“That’s right,” replied Floyd Pepper. 

“Wow. I still can’t get over all these old photos” said the black haired male with a smile on his face. 

“Yeah, I took those with my first camera. The band gave it to me, but I forget why?” replied Zoot as he looked up. He spotted a photo of Lewis when he was three years old. The dark blue haired softy smiled and looked over at the ginger haired boy. Lewis was sleeping with Annie in his arms. 

“Yeah, so he’d remember stuff. That’s why” replied Floyd with a chuckle. The band started to laugh a bit. 

“Well, I remember this and that.” said the saxophonist as he pointed at the photos. 

“And there’s that grilled cheese sandwich I ate that one time,” he added. Nora walks into the bus with a smile on her face. 

“All right, are we good to go?” the black haired female asked. 

“Yeah! Let’s go!” replied Moog with a smile. 

“Nora!” said Animal with a smile on his face. Label Lady picked an empty seat and sat down in it. She was next to Janice and Floyd’s seat. 

“Oh, wow. We’re, like, gonna be roomies again” said the blonde female. 

“Only this time, with everyone wedged into a bus,” she added. 

“Yeah, we’ve been touring around for years without even a map” replied the good doctor. 

“But this tour shall be the psychedlical, truly immersified experience it deserves to be '' he added. 

\”there’s us taking Manhattan” said Zoot as he was still looking at the photos on the ceiling. 

“Yeah…” Lips started to say before it turned into mumbles. “And change the world!” he added. 

“You know, Lips is right. We are gonna change the world” replied Nora with a smile on her face. The blonde male nods. 

“One concert at a time,” she added. 

“Hey, Nora. Aren’t you forgetting we’re broke, and tours cost a fortune?” asked Moog. 

“Oh! There’s Penny giving me all that cash for that album we never did” said the dark blue haired male as he pointed to a picture of Penny giving him the money. 

“Wait, Zoot. Would this be the photo of the money you lost?” asked Label Lady as she took down a photo of Zoot with the money. 

“Yep. And there’s me stuffing the cash into a giant sack” he replied as he pointed to a photo of him with the sack of money. 

“Oh, yeah, and there’s me hiding that giant sack on that old tour bus we had.” the saxophonist added. 

“Sweet cream corn!” yelled Floyd. 

“The photos are a veritable treasure map of Zoot’s memory” the red haired male added. 

“Fan out and search, everybody!” he yelled. Everyone quickly searched high and low for the money. 

“Ah! Found it!” yelled Nora as she pulled the sack out to show everyone. 

“You did it!” replied Floyd Pepper with a huge smile on his face. The band all cheered with joy. Animal was still looking for it. 

“You were saying? Magic of the Mayhem, baby” the black haired female said to the mayhem fan. 

“Well, now, who’s ready to get rolling so we can start rocking?” asked Teeth. 

“You know I am!” yelled the red haired male. 

“I’m in!” yelled Janice. 

“Well then, there’s only one thing left to do” replied the doc. 

“And what is that, oh, fearless leader?” asked Floyd Pepper. 

“We take this show on the road” replied Dr. Teeth as he shut the bus’ door and started the bus. 

“Disney plus is gonna love this” said the red haired male said as the bus started to move down the driveway. 

“Bye-bye” said the drummer with a smile on his face as he looked out the back windows. Suddenly the engine stops. “Whoa!” said the wild man as his head hit the glass. 

“Oh!” yelled the band as they saw steam leaving the hood of the bus. 

“What the,,,” the trumpet player said as he looked out of his window. He quickly sat back down as he felt his stomach feeling weird again. 

“What happened?” asked Floyd. 

“Uh-oh” said Animal. 

The End.

Nucleus were a British jazz-fusion band, which continued in different forms from 1969 to 1989.In 1970, the band won first prize at the Montreux Jazz Festival, released the album Elastic Rock, and performed both at the Newport Jazz Festival and the Village Gate jazz club.

The band was established by Ian Carr, who had been in the Rendell–Carr Quintet during the middle and late 1960s. Their debut album, Elastic Rock, and the next two collections, We'll Talk About It Later (1970) and Solar Plexus (1971), were all released on Vertigo Records, and music journalist Colin Larkin noted were "vital in any comprehensive rock or jazz collection".

In August 2005, a reincarnation of Nucleus with old and new members performed at Cargo in London. This was followed on 30 March 2007 by a Nucleus Revisited concert at London's Pizza Express Jazz Club as part of a series of concerts to mark the tenth anniversary of Jazzwise magazine. Nucleus Revisited included Geoff Castle, Mark Wood, and Tim Whitehead and on trumpet, as at the 2005 Cargo concert, Chris Batchelor. Although Ian Carr did not play due to ill health, he was present at the concert and received a standing ovation. On 4 August 2009, #NucleusRevisited appeared at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London with Michael Garrick's Quartet as part of their two-week-long Brit Jazz Fest.

Lyrics:

How does it feel

To treat me like you do?

When you've laid your hands upon me

And told me who you are

I thought I was mistaken

I thought I heard your words

Tell me how do I feel

Tell me now, how do I feel

Those who came before me

Lived through their vocations

From the past until completion

They'll turn away no more

I still find it so hard

To say what I need to say

But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me

Just how I should feel today

I see a ship in the harbor

I can and shall obey

But if it wasn't for your misfortune

I'd be a heavenly person today

And I thought I was mistaken

And I thought I heard you speak

Tell me, how do I feel

Tell me now, how should I feel

Now I stand here waiting

Songwriter:

I thought I told you to leave me

While I walk down to the beach

Tell me how does it feel

When your heart grows cold, grows cold...

Peter Hook / Gillian Lesley Gilbert / Stephen Paul David Morris / Bernard Sumner

SongFacts:

'Blue Monday' is the most successful and best-known song by the British new wave band New Order and, due to its innovative sound engineering and early sampling sounds, is considered a pioneering piece of electronic dance music and synth pop as well as a pioneer of techno. The original version of the track was released in 1983 on the 12″ maxi single of the same name.

The song, consisting of four verses, begins with a pounding sixteenth-note drum machine beat (Oberheim DMX), into which keyboardist Gillian Gilbert slowly fades in a melody as a sequencer loop. According to the band members, they did it in the wrong place, causing the melody to run out of sync with the beat; the supposed "bug" was eventually retained as a welcome feature. The piece then builds up in a cascading fashion; after an unusually long intro, consisting of a pulsating Moog synthesizer sequence and Peter Hook's electric bass line and hi-hat breaks, the vocal part of the piece finally begins, performed emotionlessly and somberly by Bernard Sumner. Uncharacteristically for a "hit song," Sumner, as the song's lyricist, chose not to use a standard verse as the chorus. A staccato of sound effects follows: a succession of drumbeats resembling machine gun fire, and the then-popular synth pitch-bending sound of a "crashing airplane" that can also be found in the long disco version of Soft Cells' Tainted Love' (1981). The piece culminates in a spherical chorus sample and multi-track superimpositions (overdubs) of synthesizer melody and bass line, until it finally fades out.

As with most New Order tracks, the title bears no relation to the lyrics, which again leaves a lot of room for interpretation; Although Sumner rarely comments publicly on his lyrics, a reference to the suicide of Joy Division singer Ian Curtis and statements about the effects of Curtis were constructed, as has often been the case since the former Joy Division band members began as New Order ' Death imputed to the remaining. Hidden allusions to drug experiments were also suspected in the text, and that the band had been on an LSD trip during production.

today n yesterday couldve been bad bad which wouldve sucked dick to start the new year on but like they were both GREAT GREAT so that the bad was outweighed by the good v easily yesterday i went to the swap meet with my coworker friend it was rly nice n i found some great records tho theyre scuffed not horribly so but just get stuck in grooves like once or twice on each side i got the yes album blind faith (1978 rso reissue) 3 moogsploitation records (switched on rock, moog groove, and dick hyman moog album :D) earth wind and fire thats the way of the world (tho having that one makes me wanna find gratitude on LP cause thats such a great live album) sly n the family stone stand, let it bleed, creedence willy n the poor boys and genesis nursery cryme i think thosee are all the records i got :D but it was chill n fun going with my friend n we got breakfast after like usual n we talked its always great but i talked abt my ex-friend a lil bit n then that same day at work two of my ex-friends friends were shopping there so that was awkward THEN today my ex-freind and her friend (who i also had known) showed up and were shopping there so that was realllllyyy weird especially for it to be happening literally a day after i mention that whole thing n stuff its so weird but i didnt make any like contact or anything but im sure her and her friend saw me cause they left pretty soon after i noticed them. if i wasnt where i am at rn mentally n socially n idk just in my own interests too like that rly couldve had me sooo down but instead im just like idk uhh lol abt it. cool things that happened today was a drag king who shops where i work not often saying hi and asking how ive been and inviting me to a movie screening that i guess shes performing at and then this dilf referring to me as babyboy when calling me to help him look at items we have behind the glass LOL he called it real loud so all the customers there heard it n were prolly like wtf n i was worried someone would say something it was hottt T-T im p suuure hes gay in like the older guy dom way cause hes been there with 20smthn year olds having them help him take furniture out for him n stuff but idk i just assume shit alot of the time but that was real nice lol. n overall today customers were all p nice to me which was neat. n ive been blasting johnny jewel by television a lot lately i have the single version on the double exposure bootleg cd and the live 1978 version on the arrow head bootleg. i rly think the live one goes into agharta territory when it gets to that second solo like i feel like it has to be purposeful cause he like robert quine was a agharta type fella tho i think that influence is overplayed in the grand scheme given those records were coming out when both guitarists had already basically developed their style i mean u can def hear a john mclaughlin on the corner and even jack johnson type influence in quines playing for sure but that moment on little johnny jewel live is like the only real time i can hear a agharta influence in television. like the kinda solemn mood it takes while the solo gets crazier is soooo last stretch of agharta i feel like it has to be a direct influence.

Golden Sunbird "Golden Sunbird" 2021 EP

I started writing this EP in 2020 in Townsville during our first COVID-19 lockdown. At the time I had just started listening to Pink Floyd and had fallen in love with the 70’s Psych rock sound and the whole counterculture movement. I was stuck at home and began working on music to pass the time. I had no intention of making an EP which helped in giving me the freedom to write and record without pressure. I recorded the EP at home on my iPhone through GarageBand and a Scarlett 2i4 recording interface. It was a bit of a breakaway from the conventional approach to recording music. This created a lot of freedom to be experimental and to work in my own time schedule. The portability of my phone allowed me to record in the most obscure and random places; in my car between shifts at work, the rainforest in the Atherton Tablelands, on flights to and from Melbourne, at home on the couch etc. I wanted this EP to be a cosmic, sonic journey from start to finish. A true concept piece with each track linked to the next, with meaningful transitions that tell a story. I wanted it to be an EP that you would have to play in its entirety to grasp the whole meaning and context, yet still have the tracks stand alone and be understood. I had recently acquired a Theremini and was playing around with the Moog Model D App for iPhone through my midi Keyboard. I really enjoyed the spacey sounds I was getting out of them. These sounds are a main feature of the EP and stirred a lot of inspiration for writing. This also inspired the visual elements like the cover artwork and visualizer using stars, galaxies and the cosmos. I also wanted the music to be able to have a guided meditation and deep relaxation effect on the listener. Something that provides the listener space to breathe and sink into. This is one of the reasons that has drawn me to instrumental music as it allows the mind to enter states of contemplation, reflection and to draw closer to God. I collected a lot of field recordings to add atmosphere and ambience to the tracks. I really enjoyed going to places, camping out and setting up microphones to capture the ambience of a place, then adding it to the background of a song to teleport the listener. Nature sounds invoke mystery and bring an organic feeling to the electric and synth soundscapes. I enjoyed playing with sound design on this EP and using the stereo output recording to its full potential. The main theme of the EP is finding peace in not knowing everything, Acknowledging my mortality and seeing the beauty that is life. Understanding that each moment is intensely more beautiful because it will end and that we don’t need to know the answers, just be. It also deals with themes of isolation, uncertainty, conspiracy and self doubt, all of which arose within me and around me throughout the COVID-19 lockdowns. This EP is quite special to me as it shows quite a lot of growth for me personally in my craft, my own personality and identity. The final mix of the EP was completed by my good friend, Mark Myers (Middle East, Starry Field) in Mount Kauri Studios up in the Atherton Tablelands and then it was sent down to King Willy (William Bowden) in Tasmania to do the final masters. The EP Artwork was designed & drawn by my brother Jonathan Thomas, who specialises in sacred geometry, Celtic knotwork and pointillism. The intertwined lines have no beginning or end, therefore representing eternity and the interconnection of all life. The cosmos in the background represents the vastness of space, the unknown, unbridled power, chaos and wonder in the heavenly realms. I would like to Acknowledge the Bindal & Wulgurukaba people. Owners of the land on which this music was written and pay my respects to Elders past, present & emerging.

Golden Sunbird "Inner Landscapes // Outer Worlds" EP 2023

Golden Sunbird is an Australian project with a Cosmic Psychedelic Rock sound. The new EP “Inner Landscapes // Outer Worlds” was released on August 09, 2023 and contains 7 tracks including a 10+ minute epic. The journey into the boundless space of the band’s sounds takes us to explore the different facets of their music. A fine blend of layered sounds, effects and modulations skilfully used to take us on this intergalactic journey into the deepest space. The retro imprinting is mixed with the more modern traits of the genre, thanks to the band’s personal style, which combines analogue and electronic sounds with mastery. Incursions into early New Age, through electronica and of course a massive dose of Cosmic Psychedelia permeate the sound of the EP. The atmospheres are very dilated, with at times minimal passages in which an attentive ear can discern details and particulars with every listen. The tracks that have been released as singles are added to other unreleased tracks, making up an intense tracklist from start to finish. Both the shorter tracks and those with a longer track length allow the sound concept of the project to be developed to its fullest, enhancing details and highly sought-after ideas. A listen that shows how one can take inspiration and evolve one’s own personal sound, remaining faithful to the genre but inserting one’s own personal character and style. A recommended listen for all lovers of Psychedelic Rock sounds strongly imbued with Cosmic atmospheres, enjoy listening and have a good journey.....~ Cosmic psych rock from outer space! Strap in your seatbelts and prepare for a cosmic journey through space and time. The Golden Sunbird Starship has entered from a parallel dimension to bring you interstellar space rock jams, filled with hypnotic guitar solo’s, whaling theremins and synth soaked walls of sound »Inner Landscapes // Outer Worlds« is the second EP release of space rock band Golden Sunbird. Following on from their first self-titled released in 2021, this EP explores the parallels between the unknowns of space and the depths of the human subconscious. Continuing the cosmic, psychedelic space rock sound inspired by early Pink Floyd and other pioneers it also begins pushing into new territory with cleaner production and more realized ideas & developed song writing. Skylark features on the lead vocals throughout this EP and also shows more experimentation with the mix of electronic synthesizers with organic instruments that gives a futuristic yet human sound....~
