host your gif packs on google sites
Since I received a question from an anon about how I upload my gifs to the google site, you can find the answer here. This is my first tutorial, and english is not my native language, but I hope it will be understandable and sorry if I wrote something wrong in english. I hope it's understandable and good luck, feel free to write if you have any questions and I'll try to help.
First of all, I always create the gif pack page on tumblr, it's easier to see the code there, it's easier for me to change things, because there is more space. And there I can see if everything is okay. However, it is important that there is a few code that works here, but not on the google site. When I find everything in perfect, I copy the code of the gif page and paste it to the google site page.
So I always open the google site page (You must log in with your gmail account to be able to use it.) : https://sites.google.com
When you open it, it will be a blank page, but there will be that colored plus sign at the bottom right. You can create a new page with it. I already have several, I tried to organize things there.
4. If you click on the plus sign, it brings up this, I don't usually change anything here. In the right-hand bar, there is "pages" (marked in green in the picture), you have to select it.
5. If you have selected the pages menu, you will see a plus sign again in the lower right corner. Click on it and select "full page embed". (I circled it in red in the second picture)
6. If you selected this, it will ask you to name the page. Enter the name you want. I usually include the name of the actor/actress + the name of the series and the episode in various formats. (Since I create the page both here and on the tumblr page, sometimes I copy the name given on the tumblr page.) When you press done, you will see what is in the second picture.
7. If you move the mouse over the part marked in green, i.e. on the name of the created page, 3 small dots will appear on the far right. Click on it and select "hide from navigation". If this was the case, then the small sign will be crossed out in front of the page name in the right side bar and there will be no menu bar at the top of the displayed page. After that, all that's left is to paste the code of the gif page, i.e. the gifs. You have to click on the "Add Embed" , which is in the middle and can be clearly seen in the picture. And choose "Embed code" and copy the cod / gif link here. [second picture]
8. I have marked on the picture where you can find after this, the edit button [in red], if you want to delete the page [in blue], or if you would like to preview it. [with purple color in the picture]
9. If you find everything OK, then all that's left is to press the "publish" button in the upper right corner. The previous picture shows where you can find it. Then it will ask you to enter a name for your web adress. Name it whatever you want, think of it as the name of a main tumblr page where you can always create gif packs. This only needs to be entered once, unless you want several main pages, as I have several (as can be seen in the very first picture). Eg: I named the current one gifsbymel2024.
10. I marked the paper clip / chain (?) icon in green on the picture, you have to click on it and then the link of the created page will pop up and you can share it with whoever you want.
11. If you always want to upload a new gif pack to your page after that, all you have to do is open the Google site page, select your page from the already created "recent sites" section and then go to the "pages" tab on the right side and repeat the steps as before featured. Only the name of the "recent site" will be omitted if you add the gif packs to an existing one.

Blame it on Purple
In 2012 I was known as the “Purple Mom”. That was because of a business I was in, and my son was the CEO of that company. The color of the company’s logo was purple so in building my business, I wore a lot of purple. I was fully invested in that company, and you could tell by how committed I was to advertising that would bring in more people into my business. Last week, on my Gmail account,…

10 mutuals I’d like to know better
tagged by @misseffect, doing it right away so that i actually fucking DO a tag game for once lmao
below a cut because i RAMBLED:
Last song I listened to: when i saw this it was Eye To Eye by Limelight
Favourite content to watch: oh god. i've never had to think about this let alone put it into words. i like to watch kpop stuff, mostly dance practises (for seeing the choreography) or performances, or just jamming out late at night to old favorite songs. i also watch too much MBTI stuff the eternal fruitless search to determine if i'm intp or intj. in particular this girl is an AMAZING actress so my hours spent watching her double as acting research at least, lmao. other than that i like random interesting educational documentaries or whatever. i have the algorithm so set on kpop on my main gmail account though that i rarely see them lol
Favourite games: MARIOKART. mass effect is okay too ;) i just suck at shooters rip OH I COULD TALK ABOUT NON-VIDEO GAME GAMES. bridge is my favorite card game, i loved president/janitor in school too. for board games i love monopoly (i've recently started to play against myself with various 'strategy profiles' for the 'other players' and a spreadsheet to keep track of the money)
Favourite colour: purple
Favourite animal: SNAKES. in fact i have a purple snake plushie beside me right now
Favourite food: pemmican - fully dehydrated meat (not jerky, which still has moisture and is also usually flavored with spices) that's ground up into powder or near-powder and then mixed with rendered animal fat. or what i usually do because i'm lazy, 'lazy-man's pemmican' - the dehydrated meat strips dipped in the fat manually (with salt) (and when it's with salt and the beef fat batch has some factor in its making that i have yet to discern the source of, it straight up tastes just like McDonalds french fries)
Sweet, spicy or savoury: savoury
Current obsessions: oh my god i don't currently have any all-consuming ones..................maybe that's why i feel off xD
Last book I read: The Last Man by Mary Shelley and when i tell you it was the BIGGEST slog of a book. like it was good but i have NEVER read a book so slowly holy shit, at one point i did ten pages in thirty minutes? my dude?????
Last thing I Googled: “korean surnames” because i knew the wikipedia page would have a particular chinese character i wanted to check the definition of
Relationship: single from the womb, single to the tomb B)
Fun fact: god does this even count but. i'm feeling like going unhinged (for me) and going on a trip alone to south korea for however long my money lasts or until i'm not having fun. i've never been overseas or properly travelled let alone travelled alone, i know less than 100 words of the language (i'm speedrunning rosetta stone but it's not gonna be enough if the trip happens in the less than a month my unhinged-ness is leaning towards for irl reasons), i've never even had korean food i just know their stuff is healthy (and spicy. so i may just die on day 1 who knows lol)
Tagging @venividivictorious @comp-lady @wingsy-keeper-of-songs @heat-sink uuuuuuuh i'll stop there because i haven't been around much recently and i can't think of anyone else that i know hasn't been tagged yet xD but if you want to do it consider yourself tagged! a reward for reading my rambles
#max talks#tag meme#having korean food soon is on my list of things to do but honestly. at this point. i'm so unhinged it might not even deter me if i hate it#i can just buy meat and cook it myself unspiced after all#overall a dangerous brain situation probably but this may be my only chance to go do some travelling#before i'm tied to the misery of a normal job and only two weeks off a year (that i'll need to dedicate to energy recuperation)#and if i ABSOLUTELY hate it but still have a ton of money i have a friend in china i can crash with for at least a little while probably#since i'll be in the area#life tip: always have a hyperfixation going or you'll get the all-consuming need to go on an ill-advised trip abroad apparently#like granted i did want to travel a TON when i was planning my life in high school and college#but it was NOT going to be with the life and money circumstances i'm in now. jesus#anyway if you're korean and willing to answer a few questions about what i can and can't get at stores in korea let me know lmao!

Rules: Answer 20 questions and then tag 20 people you want to get to know better
Thanks for tagging me @tangys-crispy-pajimmyjams!
Nickname: DM or DMD online but most pple call me DM
Zodiac: Apparently a gemini, but I don’t relate to most of the traits. I relate more to pisces generally
Height: 5’4” I think?
Last film I watched: Crimson Peak. Tom Hiddleston in a period drama /and/ it’s goth?? Sigh me tf up
Last thing I googled: a Lolita store called Baby, the Stars Shine Bright. Or that’s the last interesting thing I googled, other than that’s it’s boring stuff like Gmail.
Favorite musician: At this moment? I don’t really know. But a new band I’ve been getting into lately is Maneskin.
Song stuck in your head: Gimme More TikTok slowed version/remixes….lol
Other blogs: I used to have another blog for ace stuff but of course I almost immediately got harassed, this was at the peak of the popularization of aphobia and discourse online, especially tumblr 😂😬 I lost/forgot my login info for that one. I also have side accounts for my Controversial(TM) ships lmao, but they’re not that active.
Blogs following: 473
Amount of sleep: It really varies. Usually during the work week I’m sleeping at least 7-8 hours
Lucky number: I don’t know if I have one, but I have favorite numbers: 4, 6, 11, 24, 34, 96
What I’m wearing: I’m feeling unwell and resting at home. I’m wearing a mint-green butterfly shirt and lime-green sweatpants
Dream job: Full-time writer.
Dream trip: Italy!! There’s a lot of places I haven’t been that I want to go, like Scotland, England, Sweden, Switzerland, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, Japan, South Korea….but lately I’ve especially been thinking of Italy. I blame Luca.
Favorite food: I’ll say raspberries.
Play any instruments: I used to play the piano very briefly, and then violin for a few years. I’m extremely beginner-level on the guitar (I keep saying that year after year…but time seems to get away from me). I want to get a keyboard and pick back up piano. And eventually I want to play electric guitar…hey I can dream right?
Languages: I’ve dabbled in a couple different languages but the language I spent the longest learning was German for 5 years as a kid. I’ve forgotten most of it. 😐 (but I remember enough to be familiar with words and phrases and some of the grammar rules, pronunciation, stuff like that). I took French in high school, sucked at it. I took Japanese in community college and really liked it. I’ve been considering picking it back up someday.
Favorite songs: uhhhhhhhh hmmm. Usually I say my most favorite song ever if I had to pick one, which is a childhood favorite hippy folk song lol. But I’m gonna shake things up and just say one of my new favorite songs that I’ve been listening to lately, which is this one specific mix of Adore You/Moon Song: https://youtu.be/6JLAIi88GRc (and the funniest thing is, I’m not even familiar with the original songs)
youtube
Random fact: I always say this because it’s the one cool random fact I can ever think of: I’m related to Anne Boleyn through the maternal line of my family.
Describe yourself as aesthetic things: I like a lot of different aesthetics, mainly goth and dark aesthetics (especially romantic goth, batcave, punk, pastel goth, Lolita), forest/nature/cottagecore/fairycore stuff lol, cold colors, iridescent stuff, bi lighting (when you use pink/purple/blue lighting in film), I also like skater boy/skater girl aesthetics. So. A lot of range lol
I’m tagging @incredibly-unprofessional @mystitrinqua @chadthechowchow @akira-of-the-twilight @ourimpavidheroine @franticscrawls and anyone who sees this and wants to do it!
#srry I’m too lazy to tag 20 pple#and tbh most pple don’t do these anymore anyway#but this was fun!#thanks again Brando for the tag c:#tag

Boring
Rating: G
Trigger Warnings: None (that I can think of- let me know if you find anything)
Word Count: 1,632
Fan-fiction or Original Work? Original Work
Story Type: Short Story
Notes: I wrote this in response to the required prompt— ‘write about someone that’s opposite of you in any way’— that I needed to have along with my portfolio to get into an art high school for creative writing. I got in, so that’s good! Anyways, I hope you enjoy!
Bill doesn’t do much. Every day, at 6:30 AM, his alarm goes off and he gets out of bed. He puts on slacks, a white button-up, a colorful tie, and a blazer to match his slacks.
He then uses his beloved coffee maker to make instant Nescafe coffee, which isn’t good but does the job. He pulls open a drawer and takes a spoon out so he can add a spoonful of artificial sugar before throwing the used utensil in the sink.
Finally, he puts on his socks and Ecco dress shoes before grabbing his ‘#1 Employee’ mug (which he bought for himself) and walking out the door.
Today is no different than any other day for simple Bill. As he walks into his office, he waves at his coworkers with a bright smile. Not a single one of them seems nearly as happy as he does.
Sitting down at his desk, he opens an excel spreadsheet. Numbers are written and deleted, emails are sent and received, and he doesn’t mind a single second of it. When he looks up from his computer to take a sip of his coffee, he sees a woman standing outside his cubicle.
“Hi, Marianne! How’s your day treating you?”
She grins at him although he’s not quite sure why. “It’s treating me pretty well. How’s your day going?”
“Good as always!” Bill laughs lightly as he raises his coffee mug to show her how much coffee is helping his day. He wonders if she got the joke.
“That’s nice. Actually, I wanted to ask you something. A few friends of mine are going out to get a few drinks and some food after work. You want to come along?” Bill’s eyebrows furrow for a moment as he contemplates why she would ask him to come along. Suddenly, he remembers that he was planning on eating a microwave dinner of chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes, and corn.
He can’t help but sigh in content. “I wish I could. I’ve been looking forward to heating up my favorite frozen meal all day!”
Her face drops and she nods her head. “Have a good rest of your day, Bill.” When she left, she had looked a little bit disappointed, but Bill can’t put his finger on why.
Shrugging his shoulders, he looks back to his screen. Around the bottom of his computer, he sees a glowing purple light. Luminescent, it intrigues him. As he goes to move his computer, he hears the familiar chime of an email appearing in his inbox. His attention turns to the home page of his Gmail account once again and he dismisses the purple light without a second thought.
Emails later, he stands up to stretch, getting ready for his lunch break. He feels a vibration coming from his front pocket.
Bill pulls out his phone to get a better look at who’s calling. In place of a phone number, there’s a single word.
ADVENTURE
He squints at the letters, confused as to why ‘Adventure’ is listed as the phone number. After five whole seconds of careful consideration, he decides that it must be a spam call and presses the button to decline it.
Slipping his pen and pad of paper into his bag, he takes a few steps out of his cubicle. As the confidence he shows would suggest, this is his routine.
Heading to the break room, he whistles to the tune of It’s A Small World.
Eugene stands in the break room, making himself a cup of coffee. Bill grins widely at him and Eugene waves at him. “Hey, Bill,” Before Bill can respond, he adds on. “Oh! I have something for you if you want it.”
Walking over to Eugene, Bill tries to peek and see what he has for him. “I made muffins with my wife the other day and we didn’t finish them. They’re a little bit old, but I think they’re still good. Do you want one?”
His eyes are practically glowing as he stares at the muffin. “It looks amazing! I’d love to take it!” He looks up at him.
As Eugene holds his hand out for Bill to take the muffin, Bill smiles gently at him and looks into his eyes. They stop for a moment and Eugene’s eyes contain a sense of longing (not that Bill notices). Bill takes the muffin and stands up straight again.
“Thanks, Eugene!” He spins around to the table and sits down, peeling the saran wrap off the muffin.
Eugene looks like he has mixed feelings, but hides it well with a grin and walks out of the room. “Have a good day, Bill.”
As Bill continues to eat his (most likely several) day-old muffin, he remembers his cat at home and becomes visibly excited to see him later.
Is Earl missing me? I hope he isn’t too worried! Thinking of Earl, he pulls out his phone to check the kitty cam he had installed. When he opens the app, he finds Earl lying lazily atop a grey couch covered in white cat hair (Earl had claimed it as his own and there was no going back).
He smiles lightly at Earl before putting away his phone and grabbing an apple and a slice of leftover pizza from his bag. The pizza is cold, dry, and hard, but Bill doesn’t seem to mind. In fact, he seems to enjoy it.
After eating the rest of his lunch, he sits back down at his desk, ready to work and do as much as he can.
Around 6:30 pm, as he exits the building, he begins to think once again of his microwave dinner at home.
A wondrous sunset of yellow, orange, pink, and purple is painted across the sky and Bill stops to appreciate it for a second. When he looks back to the street in front of him, he adjusts himself and starts walking towards the side of the street.
Despite not being built in any way, he has no trouble walking down narrow alleyways and waving at people surrounded by plumes of smoke.
As he marches down the sidewalk of Maple Street, approaching his house, something brushes against his leg. He turns to see what it was, but finds nothing. Confused, he turns back around and catches a glimpse of a small creature scampering around the corner.
The creature looked like it had been sparkling. It must have been the little guy’s collar. “Poor animal. I hope it finds a home!” He smiles sadly and begins to unlock the big glass door in front of his apartment complex.
He spots the clerk sitting at the front desk and acknowledges him with a wave before entering the elevator. He presses the number five and whistles to himself as the floor moves below him. The red carpet muffles the sound of his footsteps and he unlocks the last door he’ll need to for the rest of the day.
After heating up his microwave dinner and opening it up, he walks to his couch and plops himself down next to Earl.
He eats in silence, but not in sadness, as he scratches Earl’s neck and ears. Without warning, he hears a voice. “We’re supposed to leave you alone, but I just can’t. I need to know why.” Her (he assumes she’s a her) voice is velvety and smooth, but also has a whimsical sort of feeling.
For whatever reason, he sees a picture in his head of a quaint cottage made of soft light. Bill cranes his neck to see who could possibly be the owner of the voice and finds a woman with auburn hair down to her thighs.
Her eyes look as if they’re made of melted gold— and they very well may be— and her freckles are stunning. But Bill isn’t phased. “Why what?”
She rolls her eyes in annoyance. “We’ve spent all day giving you ways to get away from reality. We went through a lot of work to give someone with a boring life a chance to have fun. But you didn’t even try to cooperate! You literally declined a call to adventure. I just need to know why.”
He nods his head slightly, finally understanding why today had been so off. “My life not being your ideal life doesn’t make it boring.”
She looks taken aback. “What?”
“You called my life boring and said you tried to help give me a chance to have fun. The thing is, whether or not you agree, I don’t think my life is boring. I love my life. I don’t need help or a call to adventure.”
“I don’t understand.” She looks sincerely lost as she looks at him. In comparison, he seems sure of himself.
His eyes are soft and caring as he speaks. “I don’t hate my job. I love numbers so it’s great to be able to work with them all day. My microwave dinner might look gross to you, but I enjoy it.”
Her face is flooded with understanding and she makes an ‘oh’ shape with her mouth. “I think I get it now.”
“I’m not oblivious to Marianne and Eugene— I just don’t think I need love in my life. At least not that kind of love and at least not right now. It might not be your definition of a good life, but it’s mine and that’s all that matters.”
She puts her hand on his shoulder for a few seconds before taking it off again. “Okay. I think I understand. I hope you keep doing what makes you happy. I’ll make sure to come back and visit sometime.”
He nods his head. “I’m looking forward to it.” With that, she dissipates and the apartment is once more wrapped in silence.

So, for those who’ve not noticed, I just set up a utip account, where people can watch an ad which will give me a few cents.
Do you want to help me pay vet bills and artists, but without actually giving me money? Click on this link and watch an ad! If every one of my followers gave it 30 seconds of their lives, I’d be able to pay two full A4 pieces!
I set up utip so it would pull my Twitter feed, that’s why stuff also appears there.
This is how it works:
The page seems to appear only in French, even if I switched to English, it just.. won’t? idk.
This is what it looks like:
The top left button (the purple one that reads “regardez une pub”) is “watch an ad”. I’ll get €0.04 per person who watches the ad from beginning to end :). The orange button is a “donate monthly” system like Patreon, with perks like access to discord things and such but I don’t have those, and the bottom one with € is a “one time donation” system (a bit like my ko-fi).
When you click “watch an ad”, you’ll see an ad, and once it’s over, you should get a nice meme gif:
The small bottom paper plane also allows you to send me a message which is anonymous unless you’ve created an account, and the rewind one means “watch another ad”.
Thank you for your support!!

Height: 5’6
Hobbies: Reading, writing, drawing, collecting and listening to music.
Favorite Colors: Black, Red, Blue, Purple, and Gray
Favorite Books: I get asked this a lot and the problem is that I am an avid reader and I collect books so asking me for favorites is basically impossible on any day. But I’ll pull a few out of my head that really did impact me (There are more, always more, but these are what I can see that I’ve not packed yet): Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage, By Haruki Murakami The Girl from the Well, By Rin Chupeco The Suffering, By Rin Chupeco Howls Moving Castle Diana Wynn Jones

Dream Job: I’ve always wanted to be a writer and a librarian. I’ve strayed from those two before into other possibilities that ended poorly and I’ve always fallen back to them until a few years ago I found that becoming an editor also would be wonderful.
Meaning Behind Your URL: We were asked to make a Gmail account in high school and I had to pick the first part so I chose the names of two characters I was obsessed with at the time: Gaara of the desert (Naruto), and Jinx (Teen Titans) and I’ve never wanted to change it. I use it for everything.
Top 3 Ships: (I have SO many ships but I’ll choose my most recent) Wayleska, Valeyne, Wayleskacest
Chapstick or Lipstick: Lipstick

Aussie/NYC band Free Time offers a little Jangle Jargon as Eric “Eggman” Eggleson finds out....
When Tim Hinely sent me a link to Free Time’s Bandcamp page, I couldn’t stop playing it. I ended up buying everything they had available on their site, but I kept coming back to the new album. I decided to find out more about the band, so I sent Dion Nania, formally from Melbourne and now in Brooklyn, a few questions as a way to review the album.
When did you move to Brooklyn and why did you move there?
I first came to NYC in 2011. It was mostly to do with my partner at the time getting a job here, but also, I was kind of at a loose end; my previous main band Panel of Judges had reached a natural conclusion and I’d just finished a grad school thing. Free Time came together the next year.
I see some of the songs were from 2017, why the five year wait?
Well, at that moment in history we had the three songs and the idea to cover the Green On Red song. We didn’t have a full band at the time, but Marty Frawley was temporarily in town, so he played bass, and then we happened to get a royalty cheque sufficient for a handful of days recording. I’m not exactly a prolific songwriter, so the remaining songs came together in the years since. They were mostly written by the time the pandemic hit, which proved to be an opportunity for Jonah and me to demo the remaining songs in our social ‘pod.’ As things eased a bit, Mike, Jonah, and I started to rehearse in preparation for recording in mid and late 2021.
I also was a teacher, what is your “academic work”?
I’m a PhD candidate in a Politics department, and teach at various colleges around the city. I tend to teach classes around the politics of the carceral state, and my research looks at the role of prison work in the US carceral political economy, and at contemporary in-prison social movements with a focus on the national prison strikes of 2016 and 2018.
I taught in a juvenile boys prison for ten years (it references my Gmail account and also a fave GbV song)!
Oh wow.
The album’s opener, “Never Your Turn,” is a quick, bouncy pop song with Ukraine References.
It was written, and recorded, before the recent Russian invasion, so there is no political commentary on that taking place. It just so happens that the individual who evoked that lyric is from there. From my point of view, that line was spliced into the song and jars with the rest of the ‘narrative,’ obtuse as that may be. But I often do that, just splice in lines from stanzas written without any conscious relation to each other, to see what effects are produced.
Track 2, “Beak In A Cup,” is my absolute favorite of the album. Can’t stop playing it. Beautiful keys that sound almost like horns. Is it actually about becoming a bird, flying away from reality? What does it need to escape from?
I mean, it is some kind of metaphor, but at times fairly literal, with the references to drinking for example. It gestures toward the idea that it is only in certain states or circumstances that we have the capacity to care about others in abroad and capacious way, rather than something we are able to do all the time. Then there is some mean breakup rhetoric shoe-horned into the second verse.
“Half Measures” is another bouncy number straight out of the Flying Nun catalog with an interesting storyline. Any favorite Flying Nun bands?
Well, I’m shooting for a bit of a political anthem here. The first verse tries to evoke the seamlessness of capitalist realism, or hegemony, suggesting the need for rupture rather than reform. The middle 8 is towards a more expansive conception of the working class. The second verse is pushback against the neoliberal demand to love one’s work.
Whoa, you lost me here, love your passion for politics!
Haha thanks. The day job has been leaking into the songs, for better or worse! And yes, I do like a lot of Flying Nun bands, The Clean, Tall Dwarfs, The Chills, Look Blue Go Purple, The Puddle, Wreck Small Speakers on Expensive Stereos, Bailter Space, Snapper, etc. I saw Bailter Space a month ago here in NYC, it was great.
Track 4, “The Terrace,” is a slow, beautiful song that reminds me of The Cure’s “Boys Don’t Cry,” but then takes off in a different direction. My only complaint, it’s too short.
With the next song, “Long Centuries,” pianos highlight this one, but then it has Furs’ vibe with its saxophone-sounding synths coming in. “Long centuries overlap,” is history repeating itself with tragedy in the world?
Yes, that’s about right. Kind of mapping feudal hierarchy onto our current system. The ‘poacher hanging from the tree’ refers to the enclosure movement, the proletarianization of English peasants.
“That’s Rare,” showcases fast-paced guitar work with interesting lyrics of flowers and furniture. A definite toe tapper.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dLUZDNjcPk
The title track, “Jangle Jargon,” definitely begins with soft, beautiful jangle and then ends with sonic, distorted bliss. How did you pick this for the title?
Well, in a way, this song is about what can and cannot be said in the ‘jangle genre.’ Or about what tends to be said, and also the meanings listeners derive as they listen, and the expectations they might have. So, it is a jargon, or an argot, and I’m trying to explore its contours from within. Part of what I’m interested in is how I can cobble together something actually kind of meaningless to me and present it in this genre context, and still evoke an emotional response. So, for this song some of the lines were just written using chance operations, opening a book at a certain page, randomly generating a number, “45” for example, then selecting the 45th word on the page. Then repeating that, then shifting things around to give the impression of coherence and meaning.
What a very cool look into your songwriting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGwwNMH_BiI
Next is “Disciplines And Mastery,” which has a different approach, dare I say a “Bossa Nova” vibe? Totally lost on the lyrics here, care to explain what you were getting at?
This one is about life in academia! It is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but that aside it is pretty straightforwardly about that. I hope it makes some sense now, knowing that.
Track 9, “Turn It Over,” is an upbeat pop song complete with dog barks, what can you not like? It then takes off into a dreamy beach-like vacation vibe with swirling guitars.
The album’s closer is “Lost World.” Covering Green On Red, nice, great band. Seems to tie into the theme of this album; wondering what is going on in our world.
Yeah, it does seem to me to capture contemporary doom quite well.
You performed live in New York recently, how did that go? Who is your live band?
It was fun! It was just our second show since the pandemic. The NYC lineup is Mike Mimoun plays drums, he used to co-run the record label Underwater Peoples and has played in various other things., Jonah Maurer on guitar, and used to play in Real Estate and still occasionally plays in Liquor Store. They are Americans. Amy Franz is Australian like me, plays the bass and used to be in Super Wild Horses. I’m on guitar and vocals. Mike and Jonah have been in the group since the beginning and played on all the records, Amy has guested with the band in the past, but has now joined as bass player.
Any chance of touring the new album?
Touring Australia in Jan/Feb. No plans here as yet. Not averse to the idea, but it would be tricky with our schedules, and we don’t have a booking agent.
If you were stranded on an island, what would be your top five desert island discs?
Ok sure. Standard disclaimer: this is arbitrary, and I cannot speak for my future self. In no particular order:
On the Other Ocean - David Behrman
Quasimodo’s Dream - The Reels
Cucumber Castle - The Bee Gees
16 Lovers Lane - The Go-Betweens
Detours - “Blue” Gene Tyranny
What was the first record you ever bought?
I think it was a record by Pseudo Echo, who were a cheesy Australian new wave band. I would have been about 8 years old.
What was the first live band you saw?
Bored! and also Warped at the Geelong Performing Arts Center.
Well, there you have it. Hopefully, you’ve learned more about Free Time and why Jangle Jargon is such a great album. The good news is that Dion’s band formed in Brooklyn and not Melbourne. Hopefully, that will mean future concerts around the US. Even though Dion claims to not have any musical training, the variety of jangle pop on here will continue to blast of out my speakers until he creates his next batch of songs.
