Song Review: moe. - “Ups and Downs”

Part ballad, part thrasher, “Ups and Downs” finds moe. borrowing from “Super Freak” and “Throwing Stones” to preview its forthcoming album.

Eclectic in the extreme, moe. is one of a small number of bands that could meld riffs from Rick James (bass) and the Grateful Dead (guitar) into a tender, balladic story song about a long marriage interrupted by a fiery Chuck Garvey guitar solo that has no business fitting with the harmony vocals and spare musical accompaniment on either side. But the solo does fit - like a stormy period in an otherwise-placid relationship.

There are two versions - an in-concert take recorded Aug. 1 in Colorado, and the studio track that’ll appear on Circle of Giants, arriving Jan. 31, 2025. The former is imperfect, with less-than-smooth vocals but a longer, more-spontaneous delivery than its pristine studio counterpart.

Both have their place as Rob Derhak has written a strong, introspective song from a perspective only age can provide.

Grade card: moe. - “Ups and Downs” - B

Dammit Hardison - The Compilation

[watch it on youtube]

[watch the companion, Dammit Parker]

Here it is, every instance of dammit Hardison in Leverage and Redemption! I've given a bit of context with every scene, rather than just the two seconds it takes to yell dammit Hardison.

Eliot says this phrase 14 times in Leverage and 6 times in Redemption, plus it being said 3 times by other people, bringing us to a grand total of 23 dammit Hardisons! And now you can enjoy them all!

Here's to hoping there's more in S3 of Redemption!!!

(edit: LMAO WHOOPS i accidentally skipped one of the bonus dammit hardisons on my first render of this video! 🤦🏼‍♀️it's now edited and included in here but boy do i feel silly, can't believe i missed it the first time around. the numbers above have been updated as well. there's only one person i can blame this on: dammit hardison!)

Song Review: moe. - “Rocky Mountain Way” (Live, March 23, 2024)

Though it is known for stretching songs waaaaay out, moe. stayed close to home on “Rocky Mountain Way.”

As captured on professional video March 23 in Colorado (natch), moe.’s interpretation follows Joe Walsh’s instructions carefully. The band’s newest member, keyboardist Nate Wilson, handles the mic, proving himself the group’s most-tuneful lead singer in the process; guitarist Chuck Garvey provides the requisite talk box; and the rest of the band works hard to give Wilson a solid floor.

And they do.

It’s the kind of thing that might make hard-core moe.rons pine for a more-adventurous sonic exploration. And it’s also the kind of thing that might make softer-core fans think, finally.

“Cable is Logan’s competition” WRONG. Wade has two hands <3

[maspers]

I understand why they couldn't bring him back, but let's be honest a version of Leverage Redemption with Nate still around would have been an absolute joy to watch.

He'd take one look at Breanna and be like "who's this sassy lost child?" And he'd roll with it but he'd also just completely and possibly deliberately fail to explain ANYTHING to her. Breanna would call Hardison like every other day to complain about how Nate is a complete disaster of a man and Hardison would be like "Yes, I know, we all know, welcome to the club".

Meanwhile Harry Wilson would manage to spend the bulk of the season being even more confused than he already was in canon. Like. That's Nathan Ford??? I know about Nathan Ford, he was a legendary insurance agent! He went rogue and became one of the most successful criminals in the business! How is he A COMPLETE MESS??? Nate for his part is at first very untrusting of Harry and spends the first few episodes subtly manipulating the poor man into unnecessarily weird situations just to see what he'll do. Sophie chides Nate for being mean.

The schemes get changed, naturally, since Sophie is perfectly fine with letting Nate continue to be all Mastermindy, and the end result is very bizarre season that follows the same plot beats as the Canon one but in an inexplicably different way.

To make matters worse, when you have Nate around inevitably Maggie and Sterling show up (Sterling is oozing villainous enthusiasm at the chance to match wits with Nate and a slightly new Leverage Team, Maggie on the other hand does not want to be here but has accepted this is just a recurring part of her life now) and both of them arrive at the worst possible moment for everyone (except possibly Nate, who planned for this). Breanna immediately starts complaining about the sexual tension between Nate and Sterling, causing Hardison and Maggie to bust out laughing. There's a nonzero chance Harry ends up low key flirting with Maggie since Sophie's with Nate here, but it never goes anywhere.

Naturally the Mastermind Job gets significantly more bizarre than it already was. Everyone gives Nate a hard time over it. EVERYONE. The man never catches a break for the entire thing. They don't even let him run the con, partially because they're a bit mad but mostly just to troll him. Eliot grabs Nate and shakes him sternly at least once. Actually probably many times, throughout the season, as things get weirder.

Harry leaves at the end of Redemption Season 1 and Nate just nods knowingly and instructs Hardison to open a betting pool for how long it will be before Harry comes back. Parker wins, successful guessing it down to the exact day. Eliot accuses her of cheating.

Then in Redemption Season 2 Tara Cole shows up and everything gets worse.

I need this for science

[bougiebutchbinch]

still not over the nathan summers thought process going from 'I have divorced wade :c' to 'I want wade back :c' to 'I am still angry at wade :c' to 'I want to make wade feel guilty for doing murders' to 'aha! I shall make the guy who already has a tenuous grip on reality hallucinate himself into a minor breakdown. yes. this will redeem him and make him see the light. surely after this he will return to my side <3'
