#rsl 90s

[boy-wonder-oncologist-fan]

It has come to my attention that we aren't talking about RSL making a shameless plug of Malaparte's fundraising using a cardboard sign

[cheezy-whizz]

silly guys in silly glasses (I would die for each and everyone of these men)

[malinaa]

i choose to believe 30smth year old house saw THIS newly divorced wilson and thought 'honestly, i'm trying to hit that' and bailed this mf out of jail

ROBERT SEAN LEONARD as CHUCK BISHOP in MARRIED TO IT (1991)

[desire-mona]

roles i think neil perry would've bodied as a very very casual theatre enjoyer:

- hamlet (hamlet)

- horatio (also hamlet)

- macduff (macbeth)

- laurie (little women)

- this isnt a role but i think he would be in STOMP and love it

- jd (heathers, this ones a given just due to the rsl of it all)

- either kurt or ram (also heathers)

- mischa (ride the cyclone)

- noel (also ride the cyclone)

- ogie (waitress)

- squidward (...spongebob......... ghe musival........)

- both jamie AND cathy (the last five years)

thats the extent of my theatre knowledge and also i havent seen or heard 3 of tyese. so,

"Hey, there were 3,000 people at that convention. You were the one I thought wasn't boring. That says something."

sick and twisted there aren't more fic for the absolutely insane meet cute of bailing a stranger out of jail simply bc he wasn't boring but also implies that house was already aware of wilson pre-arrest which like? hello?? HELLO???

like okay fine. let's say house was just at the bar already; that man was looking

on god how is this not half the fic written after 5x04 birthmarks aired??

[bitchfitch]

I feel like once everything is said and done and Arlo and Conall have moved out of the hill, Haze is going to need to be physically stopped from Immediately telling Arlo what influencers are, and also what apology videos are. Bc like, those 2 do not get a long 80% of the time, but in this, they would be united on the sheer amount of chaos that could be caused by Arlo coming clean about what the actual fuck was going on with the hill.

[ace-with--a-mace]

i cant finish this movie and still be sane i am putting jt off for later

[unplanned-parenthood]

everyone and their mother goes thru the monthly occurrence of grabbing pics of young rsl and going 'oh my god new orleans wilson' but like. rsl in Married To It (1991) is literally how i imagine him at that time...the boring suit. the ring. the almost-but-not-quite middle part. the fact that its very much the 90's. if he was a little more dishevelled and fucked up it would be quite literally Him that night

do any of y'all know what year house and wilson first met i need to know for Me purposes

[cantalwaysgetwhatyouwantbut]

Wilson as a 2nd year student (longish hair). This is 100% that I liked the photo set of him in The Boys Next Door (thanks reblogger, i'll watch it) with his greasy 90s hair, round glasses, and using his cigarrette to punctuate words and. Wilson in 2nd year. Thinking he knows it all, doing really well at uni, probably getting some attention (eyebrows waggle), getting a little cocky. (He learns quickly to tone it down). And actually trying to navigate the world and trying to learn how to be an adult. Probably not had The call from his brother yet.

Season 3 moment: 1st asking each other out on a date on camera. (House has to look away to pretend he is immune to the Cow Eyes). PS House's cleavage in that scene is PREPOSTEROUS. Talk about Cuddy, you hypocrite.

Artist's rendition of RSL in the underground just being A Guy. And all of us collectively, as a user put it in the tags of that photo set: bark bark bark

[cowboylexapro]

its the way id lose my actual shit if rsl and ethan hawke had some pictures realeased of them interacting from like, yesterday or the 90s/80s/00s/10s

[desire-mona]

pre-1995-ish rsl, 1995-ish-to-2001 rsl and post-2001 rsl are three different people in my mind

pre-1995-ish rsl is pretty baby gender-envy whereas 1995-ish-to-2001 is gorgeous theatre nerd intellectual era, and post-2001 rsl is grumpy bastard man (affectionate)

please offer revisions

yeah basically! in my mind those time periods arent impossible to be the same guy, but in a vacuum theyre kinda very distinct from one another.

i guess to go into more detail, late 80s to early / mid 90s rsl is best known for playing boyish characters (obviously teenage characters such as max (manhattan project), jeremy capello, neil perry, etc. but also boyish looking adults like chuck bishop, peter (swing kids), claudio dare i say, etc)

mid / late 90s to early 2000s rsl pretty much accurate with gorgeous theatre nerd but thats also just applicable to his entire life. in my mind this is the era i associate most with his friendship with ethan, probably because of tape and chelsea walls. i also think this was the time period where he fit the bill aesthetically for asshole-ish characters imo.

and ur kinda exactly right with post 2001, but id like to change that to post 2004 honestly. grumpy bastard is correct, but again i think its applicable to him as a person (said lovingly.) house era he was in much more interviews both written and video (from what ive seen) and he got to share more of his personality LMAO. ofc speculation since i dont know the guy but yknow. plus at this point he was settling down and starting a family so the good ol "i dont wanna work lol" sentiment started showing up more, which makes total sense.

1990s Drum n Bass Playlist

Back to the Sunday night electronic playlist-posting mines for the next good while. This week I've got a little update to my 90s drum n bass playlist, with something that's very dark and something that's much, much lighter.

The dark one comes courtesy of a guy from the UK called Ambush, whose career only consisted of a couple 12-inches and an album between '96 and '98, and is not to be confused with *The Ambush,* which is an alias of German electronic music legend Oliver Lieb. Ambush made his debut with a 12-inch called Gain on Possible Records, a dark dnb label that was founded by Mick Harris, who was the former drummer in famed death metal band Napalm Death.

Taking up the A-side on Gain is a tune called "Tracking," which would later find its way onto a Possible double-disc comp called Sonics Everywhere in 1997. "Tracking" is this steadily burrowing piece of filthy subterranean grime, with this constant no-give snare hitting on every other beat while a simply demonic, distorted sub-bassline rumbles mercilessly beneath it 😈; potential theme music for the single-most evil entity in the universe. Only has ~1,100 plays on Spotify.

And for the yang to "Tracking"'s Yin, we have something pretty dang unique. UK future jazz-funk band RSL are not known for making drum n bass, but it appears that, three years prior to their debut release, they first appeared on a South African compilation in 1998 called ReRooted: Beatz From Da Ground Up, with "Elungelo." This is a song that appears to be sampling soulful traditional African folk vocals and then pairs them with beats—first, a nice and chill-grooved, bare-bones trip hop one, and then a sudden shift to dnb. And to be honest, I kinda dig the trip-hoppy portions more on this one, but if something has a considerable amount of drum n bass on it, then it automatically gets categorized as a dnb tune; those are just the rules. Around 9,100 plays.

Ambush - "Tracking" RSL - "Elungelo"

And for the YouTube version of this update, I was able to add those two songs to it too, but I also added another one that can't be found on Spotify as well. And this is another dark one, from a master of those dark dnb arts himself, Technical Itch. In '98, this Birmingham, UK native applied his craft with a remix of Manchester, UK act Perfect Combination's "Remember." Scratchy and blown-out snares, wormy bass squelching, and an occasional eerie synth to remind you where you are, which is a place that you really need to escape from, pronto 😰. This remix has appeared on a double-12-inch called Partisan Volume One, one of the first releases in the catalog of Partisan, an ultimately short-lived label that was launched after a group of staffers acrimoniously split from dnb juggernaut Moving Shadow. Song has a little over 4,800 plays on YouTube across a few different uploads.

Perfect Combination - "Remember (Technical Itch Remix)"

And this playlist is on YouTube Music too.

So this update now brings us to 13 songs that total 84 minutes on Spotify, but over on YouTube, we're now at 30 songs that total 191 minutes! There's just so much more great, obscure 90s dnb in that YouTube one, including a handful of cuts from a compilation that's not even listed on Discogs called Now What Kind of Music Do You Call That?

And if you want something shorter, I've also got a couple dnb playlists that are specific to a certain year from the 1990s:

1997 Drum n Bass: YouTube / YouTube Music 1998 Drum n Bass: YouTube / YouTube Music

Next week, some breakbeat!

Enjoy!

More to come, eventually. Stay tuned!
