hide: ROCKET DIVE
Within hide's (as it would turn out to be) small discography, ROCKET DIVE is one of the biggies. Like PINK SPIDER before it, it was the last of a certain kind of single release (the last one hide was alive to see), and due to its proximity to his death, comes saddled with interesting baggage.
The single, which came out in January of 1998, was the first to be released under the group name "hide with Spread Beaver" rather than hide's name alone. The change was meant to acknowledge the contributions of the band members, while also cementing the live band that he had already been working with for years. Among the colorful cast of characters were hide's former band mate in X Japan, Pata, I.N.A., who would come to be something of hide's musical right-hand man, as well as someone like Chirolyn, who added the kind of wild personality that made the band stand out aesthetically -- technically, hide's pink hair already did this, but if any mainstream J-rocker was less inhibited on stage than Chirolyn, I never saw them.
"ROCKET DIVE" was written and recorded in Los Angeles well before hide's passing, while plans were being drafted for subsequent single releases, an album, and a concert tour. The song leans heavily into hide's new predilection for more industrial elements in his music, an obvious nod to his love for groups like Garbage, Nine Inch Nails, and Marilyn Manson. Unlike the more organic Hide Your Face, or the smorgasbord of PSYENCE, the songs on what would eventually be Ja,Zoo embraced synths and computers to achieve their sound, one boosted by hide's signature vocals and sense of dangerous fun. "ROCKET DIVE" is ostensibly a song advocating the escape of everyday ennui for a life of adventure by taking off unfettered into the freedom of outer space. Enhanced by sex and drug references, it's unclear whether this freedom can be found literally or just chemically. Does it matter? Both take you "to the world where new stars glitter." Like "PINK SPIDER," it's a meditation upon feelings of unsatisfying emptiness, and a yearning for the bigger, brighter things in life. As an introduction to his new sound, it did a lot of explaining while also leaving room for experimentation, a perpetual exploration of whatever styles hide had yet to play with (pop, rock, reggae, jazz, industrial, and thrash being only some of the ones he already parlayed into some of the most exciting J-rock of the 90s).
In that sense, the inclusion of an amped up version of "DOUBT" for the B-side could leave a listener nonplussed. The original song had been released as the B-side for his second single 50% & 50% in 1993, and is here renamed the "MIXED LEMONed JELLY MIX." While retaining the same base melody, lyrics, and general ambience, the song is updated to represent the harder sound hide was creating with Spread Beaver, and in some ways echoes the kind of work that he would begin exploring with his U.S.-based band Zilch. With its aggressive rhythm and hypnotic chorus, it's always been one of my favorite hide songs, and his iconic, satirical performance of it as a salary man, just hours before he passed, ranks as one of my all-time favorite. Based on his return to the song, it's clear something about the original felt lacking, unfinished, or inauthentic for him to take the time to update it.
This single was originally released on the 3″ mini-CD format and comes in standard packaging, with the lyrics and song credits printed on the inside back cover. Besides the two above tracks, it also includes the karaoke version of "ROCKET DIVE." As a testament to the song's amazing energy, it was chosen as the first track off of hide's first posthumous greatest hits collection, hide BEST ~PSYCHOMMUNITY~, and as that was my first official hide album, it thus cemented the spirit and image of hide for me forever: bright pink hair in a lemon-yellow track suit, courageously, cheekily, setting sail for the seductive, unpredictable unknown.
Catalog Number: MVDH-9002 RisefromAshes also wrote about this song recently here.

Top 3 Haircuts & Styles Requested by Men in Their 20's
Navigating the trending tides of men's hairstyling can be quite the adventure, but there's no need to sail the high fashion seas alone. For men in their 20's, staying sharp and on-point means rocking a hairstyle that makes a statement while affirming their individuality. We've lined up the top 3 haircuts that have been drawing all the style-savvy gents to the barber's chair, along with expert tips to keep your mane game at its peak.
Low Fade
The Low Fade starts with a subtle trimming that gradually ‘fades’ into your skin. It's a versatile look that embodies both sophistication and edge. To nail this style:
Style with Substance: Use a high-end pomade or wax to elicit texture and hold, steering clear of the undesired greasy look.
Tools of the Trade: Style the top section with a comb for a sleek look, or simply run your fingers through your hair for a more relaxed vibe.
Faux Hawk
No need to go full Mohican to channel that rebellious spirit. The Faux Hawk combines punk flair with everyday wearability:
Volume Up: Kick-off with a strong-hold gel or matte clay on damp hair then bring in the blow dryer to amp up the volume.
Shape it Right: Once your hair is dried, sculpt the quintessential Faux Hawk shape using your fingers for that personal touch.
Slick Back
Think classic, think Slick Back. For modern-day 'Mad Men' who want to look effortlessly dapper, this style is an all-time favorite:
Sleek without Sheen: Reach for a water-based pomade or a light-hold gel for slickness minus the oil-slick look.
Brush & Blow: Comb your hair back while it's still damp, blow-dry in the direction you styled, and secure this timeless look with a dab of pomade for Stay Stylish, Stay You
Each of these sought-after haircuts offers room for adaptation and personal expression, so while you're following the general styling advice, don't forget to tweak it to fit your unique identity and preferences.
Ready for a look that perfectly frames your face and confidence? Reach out to Club Men Barbershop where experience meets art to give you a cut above the rest. Contact their team to schedule your appointment, and walk out ready to conquer the world, one strand at a time.

Replying to "40 Queen Asks" by @sail-away-sweet-shishter
(Edited to improve formatting.)
1. Favorite Member of the band?
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose? But, uh, Rogerina is stunning.
2. Favorite album?
Whichever one I last listened to? Sometimes I think it's The Game or A Night at the Opera, but these days I often find myself turning to Sheer Heart Attack or Queen II or Jazz when I'm in the mood for some Queen. Just because I didn't listen to them *quite* as much back when I was a kid.
3. Least Favorite album?
Hm. Probably The Miracle, just because an album that begins with "Party" and "Khashoggi's Ship" feels like it takes a while to get good. But it's still good. (That's the thing about Queen: even if there's something I don't like as much as I wish I did, it's still kind of interesting.)
4. Favorite song(s)?
How much time do we have? "Save Me," "The Show Must Go On," "March of the Black Queen," "Tenement Funster," "Another One Bites the Dust," "I Want to Break Free," "I'm in Love with My Car," "Death on Two Legs" ... (takes deep breath) ... "The Invisible Man," "Staying Power," "Keep Yourself Alive," "Under Pressure," "Teo Torriate," "Flash," "Killer Queen," "Father to Son," "Flick of the Wrist," "'39," "Sleeping on the Sidewalk," "Love of My Life" ..... you get the idea.
And some rhapsody thing for bohemian types, you probably haven't heard about it.
5. Least Favorite song(s)?
"Jesus," because wait, what ... really?
"White Man," but I feel like I have to explain. I like the sentiment of the song: anti-racist, anti-colonialist, etc. That's great. But when I listen to the melody and rhythm, I feel like the song undermines itself by being based on the racist caricatures of Native American culture we see in old Hollywood westerns. And since the song doesn't have an ounce of irony or humor, the net effect of this contradiction is jarring and unpleasant.
But I almost never skip the track because hey, at least it's Queen.
6. Favorite era?
Pre- to early Munich
7. Favorite Freddie Mercury outfit?
70's Wings and kimono.
8. Favorite Brian May outfit?
Wembley style.
9. Favorite Roger Taylor outfit?
Rogerina OR cranky-old-man Roger in a nice suit.
10. Favorite John Deacon outfit?
From the video for Another One Bites the Dust.
Or...
When he's at a wild party wearing a cardigan in the background while Freddie is signing the buttcheeks of a naked exotic dancer.
11. Favorite Queen Story?
"Mister Ferocious."
Or...
How Queen blew away Live Aid by turning up their amps and, you know, rehearsing.
12. Do you own any Queen merchandise?
I think I have a bicycle jersey in a box somewhere that has the Flash Gordon logo.
And this isn't really Queen merchandise, but I have one of Brian's stereoscopic collections of the planets. I won it in a contest through Astronomy Magazine.
13. Do you own any Queen Vinyls?
The ones I bought as a kid are in a box in my parents' attic (if they've even survived). Now I just have the CDs.
14. Favorite Full band picture?
The outtake from the photo session for the Sheer Heart Attack cover where Brian, Roger, and John are laughing hysterically while Freddie is clearly trying his hardest not to lose it.
15. Favorite single picture of each band member?
The record sleeve that came with the Flash Gordon vinyl album with the lightning bolts between the individual pictures. Those are all great shots.
16. Favorite Music Video?
Does the movie Flash Gordon count?
Otherwise: "I Want to Break Free," or maybe "I'm Going Slightly Mad."
17. FMK Rogerina, Fredrika, or Brianna?
That is the correct order, yes.
18. Have you ever cried listening to Queen?
"Save Me," and "Teo Torriate" both get to me at times.
19. Last Queen song you heard on the radio?
"Crazy Little Thing Called Love"
20. Are you excited for Bohemian Rhapsody?
Oh my, darling. Yes.
21. Are you listening to Queen right now?
Uh...no. What the fuck is wrong with me?
22. What was the last Queen song you heard in general?
"Back Chat," from Queen On Fire: Live at the Bowl. In my car a few hours ago.
23. Has anything Queen related happened in School or at work?
Right before I went to college Highlander came out and quickly turned into a cult classic on VHS, so my college years were full of opportunities to introduce the rest of Queen to fellow students who'd just discovered that movie.
24. Do you have any IRL friends who are big Queen fans?
Yes, but I don't think any of them would bother to answer a survey on Tumblr.
25. Who introduced Queen to you?
My best friend when I was 10 years old.
26. Funniest Queen song?
Ogre Battle. Bring Back That Leroy Brown. Don't Try Suicide. Seaside Rendezvous. Death on Two Legs.
27. Which song do you listen to just for that part?
I'll sometimes listen to the Flash Gordon album and literally vibrate and giggle in anticipation for the whole battle sequence on side two that has Brian Blessed and the wedding march and "The Hero" and all that craziness.
28. Have you ever seen Queen live?
Sadly no.
29. Favorite Sassy Freddie story?
Kicking out his faithless boyfriend but keeping his cat.
30. Favorite Live performance?
It's a toss-up between Queen Rock Montreal and Live at Wembley Stadium. But there are other live recordings I haven't heard yet.
31. Have you recommended Queen to anyone?
Of course!
32. When did you discover Queen?
In 1980 I was 10 years old and my friend Keith got The Game on cassette. We wore that thing out. And then Flash Gordon came out, and I pestered my parents for the soundtrack. And then my uncle got me Queen's Greatest Hits on vinyl for Christmas. (And then, and then....)
More truth: at that time my family was living in a west Texas oil town and the only music I listed to was country-western on the radio and my parents' folk song albums. (And Star Wars.)
What I'm saying is, Freddie Mercury basically saved my ass from Conway Twitty.
33. Favorite Fan art? (make sure to give credit to the original creator!)
Definitely this art by @dungeonpeaches
34. If you could go back in time and meet one member of the band, who would you choose?
I don't really want to. I think I'd bore them all to death.
Unless...can I go back and witness Freddie's first trip to Japan? I'll carry his shopping bags.
35. Do you like Jimercury?
Awww, Jim.
36. Funniest post on Brians instagram?
Nothing jumps out at me, but he's probably stereoscopically fondling a hedgehog.
37. Black Nail polish for Freddie or White Nail polish for Brian?
Black on Freddie.
38. Which band member do you think would be mostly likely to have a tumblr?
Well Brian has had a blog for many years and an Instagram for quite a while, so I guess it would have to be Brian.
39. But how do you really feel about ‘im in love with my car’ ?
When my hand's on your grease gun, it's like a disease, son.
40. What song really hits you right in the feels?
The Show Must Go On. Teo Torriate. Too Much Love Will Kill You. Save Me. Loser in the End.

January 12, 2021: 4:10 pm:
=================
now it says I cannot edit the post I made a few minutes ago, and is refering to an app.
I don't use an app. I access from the Tumblr.com website with a computer, not a phone.
and the place where the hashtags go are saying some reference to YouTube while using Tumblr.
Tumblr is hijacked by Google and Pope Bergoglio. But Pope Bergoglio is dead, died at Grants Pass Walmart about three weeks ago when he was cut in two by the guillote they put in the front entry from time to time, that day, was one of those times.
The means Google is at the Vatican without the Pope Bergoglio. The Tumblr slaves are crying for help in ways that they are able to, with changing the way the controles work, and wishing that someone would notice.
====================
Edit: 4:36 pm:
Assessment:
There is something fishy going on. Everywhere.
============================
Edit: 4:52 pm:
youtube
=======================
Edit: 4:54 pm:
“... and the operator say’s” ‘40 cents more for the next three minutes...”
That means the Operator was in on the call the whole time.
“Mrs. Avery” = Mrs. AV E R Y = Mrs. Audio/Visual + Power + Aaarrrgghh + “Y” signal splitter
“Mrs. Avery” = SAG Vatican terror pirate rerouting the call
It’s an avery, a place where birds are kept. Aviary (alternate spelling, Canadian accent, is Phoenician) A Coup.
The Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show song was from 1973.
The records available online say that the breakup of Bell Telephone & Telegraph (A/V) happened in 1982, but everyone knows that happened in the 1970′s. So, WT actual F is happening with that?
Y signal splitter’s work with the recorded history of the world the same as they do with pulsating signals. Truth splits to a dark place where no one can find it, a Gnosis Generator changes the truth, adds bullshit, removes some key information from the truth, then spits out the result for consumption by the people as Gnosis.
Sylvia, is gone. We are told she is moving away, never to be seen or heard from again. The operator wants more money, to keep you hanging on, to find out where Sylvia is at, and not hang up... they can‘t make any money if you hang up.
The Pope is a Crocodile (Croak-a-Dial)
youtube
==========================
Edit: 5:24 pm:
Diana Ross = Die on a Cross (she has to learn some Carpentry first, so she can build the cross the Christian Pirates are going to nail her to, See?
(Diana Ross is musical Royalty, in more ways than one, a Supreme Being)
Fast Forward to Princess Diana for Russian Mother Hoax Fractal View through a time warp paparazzi tunnel. (Paparazzi = Papa Arrgghh Nazzi = Pope Pirate Nazi). It’s not about black or white. It’s about acceptance of the Pirate Pope, or not)
===
From the Dr. Hook song I linked somewhere else:
“We got a genuine Indian Guru that’s teaching us a better way...”
It’s “Amp Guru”.
“Genuine” = Generates a Whine from a phone call, American Indian Style.
Remember what happened to all of the American Indians? (native Americans)
Then, add the phone hijack, the operator, “Turn water into wine” all boils down to “The Jim Dunlop” (all Pope, all the time, eternal Pope, Amp Guru at Vatican Choir HQ) on the phone call, listening all of the time. It must be a “Pay Phone” or the Operator would not be exposing herself like that (nun; Russian Whore). The “Turns Water into Wine” is the Modern Day Indian (you & me) all being turned into Whine... crying for help on he phone while trying to find Sylvia on a hijacked phone call where some asshole (nun) is pretending to be Sylvia’s Mother and is jacking US around on the call.
Jim Dunlop, maker of Cry Baby Wah... since 1966.
It’s a gas peddle (throttle) for “Axial Expression” (Axpression).
To Throttle, is to accelerate OR decelerate. (AKA: Buffer (time warp); Governor (leash; limiter)
On a phone call, it controls the speed at which you will decide to accept the Pirate Pope later on, after more effects are applied to the mix, and you slowly learn intuitively about the Christian Pirate Ship, it’s Captains, the size... enormity of the boat, and the French speaking scalawags who crew the thing. They need you and me to move the boat forward, we are the sail on the mast in the wind. We are Jesus. A sale on a pirate ship. nailed.
If you have a Bic Lighter, and learn about the Chi that resides within you, and also carry and use a fingernail clipper for defense, you can defeat the pirates.
A Chihuahua armed with hot sauce and sharp teeth.
================================
Edit: 6:05 pm:
Once again, the puzzle parts add up to reveal a glimpse into the Vatican, through the television screen, as it looked in 1965 - 1966 and thereabout, to see the Puppets of the Thunderbird’s TV show, “the Tracy’s at Volcano Island”, are “Amp Guru”, and “Amp Guru” is a culmination of all of the Pope’s throughout recorded history AD, materialized, as “The Jim Dunlop”, Captain of One Vatican Pirate Ship.
Read this account to see how that was decoded with a secret agent decoder ring from an old box of Cracker Jack’s over the past six years, and a lot of life experience.
youtube
===========================
Edit: 6:17 pm:
At the 1:25 minute mark, Jim Dunlop Amp Guru thugs are sent to hassle Jimmi, right there on stage. They Rush him, get all in his face while he’s performing and he does not even miss a lick.
He did not sign-up to be a Christian Pirate. He played left handed, with a right-handed guitar, upside down, to try to show you and me that there is something important to know about the guitar. He had plenty of Chi, was able to be among the very best of the best of guitar players, with a upside down and backwards guitar played on the opposite side.
Fucking Genius.
They sent Jimmi to the 27 Club, where he met Sylvia, they remain there with Janice Joplin, and others at the 27 Club Great Gig in the Sky.
==================
Edit: 6:31 pm:

============================
Edit: 6:41 pm:
Personal note:
This past week has included that my vision was very poor while trying to write, trying to see to cook some food, to see to walk around or do anything at all. But today something has changed, the local terror cells are not releasing the kind of poison gas that affects vision, I can see clearly today. That has not been the case this past week at all, and has been ongoing for many years as the local terror cells release a variety of poison gasses into the surrounding area, the “return air” vent on the forced air heating system draws the poison gasses into the house through the chimney, dryer vent, window “weep holes”, and other household venting and cracks and holes that exist in all houses. The windows are all closed, but the heater return air vent creates a negative pressure condition inside the house, and draws air in from outdoors where the air has been saturated with poisons released by the neighboring terror cells.
If it’s happening to me, it could be happening to you too.
My vision is perfect today, all day. Something changed outside.
That above is strange, it’s the 12th, but that grey area says it’s the 13th. The post there behind the grey area is titled “January 12, 2021: 3:57 pm:”
This one:
I am not able to make edits to that one, it’s locked up by Tumblr. If I try to make additional comment, that other blue message that says something about a Tumblr App shows up, prevents me from further additional comment.
If I could make additional comments to that other post featuring Donald Trump on the cover of the Rolling Stone, then, I would say more about what happened on January 6, 2021 at the Fred Meyer Gas Station when that Salem Oregon Government Bus showed up with the explosive guitar bombs inside, and Mark Keisel was there to make the hit to kill me, but exploded with others who were on that Salem Oregon Government Bus after I defended against Keisel. If I could make additional comments to that post above, on the actual post that’s is locked up and is not accessible for making further comment, then, I might be tempted to say that Donald Trump was also on the Salem Oregon Government Bus that was sent to kill me at the Fred Meyer Gas Station on the 6th of January, at precisely 3:36 pm (I have the receipt in my pocket still).
I might comment that the Bus exploded with Donald Trump on it somewhere nearby the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office on F St., about one-quarter mile from the Fred Meyer Gas Station in Grants Pass, but I can‘t do that, they have me locked out of that one particular post, the one with the mystery 13 on it in the screenshot above.
I could say a whole bunch of additional stuff about that.
The important part to what I might say is that all of that bullshit reported on Twitter about a White House invasion, is all bullshit. What that really is, is a way for Nancy Pelosi to say that Donald Trump exploded on a Salem Oregon Government Murder Hit Bus, and the shit went side-ways.
That is what that is all about in the Twitter news, and everything being said and done by the SAG Congress, Pelosi & Company, is all to make distraction so that no one will be interested in knowing where Donald Trump might be. Even Joe Biden is in on covering for the whereabouts of Donald Trump in the Twitter news.
It’s all bullshit! The whole WH invasion of January 6, 2021, is bullshit cover story done by SAG US Congressional Shills!
He was on the Salem Government Bus when the thing exploded into bits from at least one guitar bomb that was also on the bus, built by Mark Kiesel of Keisel Guitars. The explosives are suspected to have been provided by Micheal Moore of “Super Size Me” fame. If not, Mr. Moore knows where the explosives came from.
Send help to Oregon, learn more.
Please send medical services.
Bring your own hospital.
=========================
Edit: 7:37 pm:
This is a good place to make a REMinder about 737 MAX Airplanes and that I was there, at Boeing Seattle in 1998 when the place was taken by machine gun wielding terror soldiers who did not speak any English at all.
“What did those guys look like?”
Thank you for asking, good question.
You know that Die Hard movie with Bruce Willis at the Christmas Party?
Those blonde guys with long hair. They looked just exactly like those guys, at two of them did.
They killed all of the office workers. Young women who worked in the office at Boeing Seattle. They were called out to the airplane assembly area near the big door to the enormous hanger that Boeing is. It’s a big hanger where airplanes are built.
The women were lined up against a wall, told to say who they were, and what their job titles were, then, the people were separated, “these people over here, those people go over there”, and one of the groups of all women were shot against the wall. There was someone there in the Boeing tour group that I was part of who did some interpreting for the people with the machine guns. I was asked to speak to the women before they were shot also, to ask them what their job title were.
The bottom line here is that all of the math works out that SAG/Britain/Vatican/German terror is planning to use those “Grounded” (modified for terror) 737 MAX to do aerial spraying of poison gas over large populous regions some where. I suspect it’s a global operation in USA and Asia, maybe South America too. There are a whole bunch of those airplanes, plenty of time to make modifications has passed, and they had time to move them around to different parts of the world also.
I suspect Mustard Gas.
Also, reminder that I was there in 1970 when all of those rock star musicians I tell of from time to time were saying that the goal was to eliminate the population of the world, to reduce the population of the WORLD to about 500,000 people. That’s Half-Million people remaining after the “50 Year Plan“ is done. (Five-Hundred-Thousand inhabitants of the globe)
They were serious about that. We can see that they were serious about that. There are numerous clues, indicators, guidance, all that leads to a global depopulation of Biblical Re-Genisis magnitude.
Start Over... is the plan.
Those with SAG Cards in good standing, dues paid in full, might survive, if they are among the ones who draw the long straws, not the short ones at the “Heaven’s Gate” somewhere. (SWSX Terror Convention; It’s compass, points down, and to the left, depending on what hemisphere you are on at the time you take a look at the compass. I think. Maybe it’s a Thompson, goes up, and to the right when fitted with a full drum magazine, so, Hemispherical considerations are warranted, with respect to the right & left hemisphere’s of the human brain, for making the correct choices at the SXSW terror convention on Judgement Day for SAG Card Holders w/Dues Paid in Full, card in good standing)
This is not a joke, I am not making this up.
I was there. At the table at the time.
I was about ten years old. I remember.
So, that is the most important thing to know about why Donald Trump could have been inside of a Salem Oregon Government Bus at the Fred Meyer Gas Station on the 6th of January, 2021, and exploded when the shit went side-ways.
What’s more important is the date, the timing seems to be on or near the 20th of January, 2021, for the planned Boeing MAX aerial Mustard Attack of the world. (Grey Poupon, for decoding purposes. French’s will also work for decoding Twitter news, and promotional email from Music Industry Advertisers and Retailers)
Oregon is the place where a vast majority of the terror is HQ’d. California is where the most leadership is, Washington DC are all puppets, only the messengers, as far as I can tell. Congress is a voice of hidden leadership at corporate offices of all kinds, perhaps. But the highest of terror high command appears to be the “Amp Guru” the “Jim Dunlop” the “Vatican Choir”. Those seem to be higher command level than “British House of Lords”, or, could actually be the very same, could be British House of Lords = Amp Guru.
I still recommend the best defense for immediate results is to take Twitter offline. Make it go away. Even a temporary hiatus for a couple of months would help. The most commands come through the Twitter news stories, coded into them.
Would the world be so horrible without Twitter that the safety measure cannot be done at least temporarily?
Google is the same as the Pope’s Office Filing Secretary.
Google corporate and the mechanisms the make it work have to be taken into custody of Global Security persons who are opposed to being exterminated like a bug in a jar filled with Raid. Are there such persons left alive somewhere?
======================
Edit: 8:45 pm:
There are some people who know that the explanation about the Boeing 737 MAX attack already has come to this very point once before in the past. Only few people are aware of that, and all of the recorded documentation was deleted, made unavailable for me, but is available to others somewhere, I don’t know exactly where, but the Oval Office is a likely place to find those records, or access to them, from Beta Twitter in around 2008 and also on old Tumblr account, and also on old Google+ accounts.
The people who stopped the attack the first time are probably all dead now.
So, here you go, there is no Russia.
Don’t drop this this time:
It’s Mongolia.
They are no terrorists in Mongolia. They don‘t have any nuclear warheads in Mongolia, I don‘t think Mongolian’s even have an internet.
=========================
Edit: 9:08 pm:
Think about this please:
Size and scope demonstration of Vatican pirating in USA:
Let’s say you are a terror army leader who’s army uses nitrous oxide as a primary weapon, your goal for the time being is the kill and replace as many US Citizen voters as possible without being caught. You need a way to get nitrous gas into as many households as is possible. So, you convince the Residential Window Manufactures that they need some representation in DC, to lobby for concerns about climate change that affect the manufacture rules for window makers. The window manufacturers consortium is created because you are really good salesman. So, once that is done, you convince congress that it’s a good idea to mandate that there will be some small holes put onto the bottom of all the windows sold in USA, “Weep Holes” are invented for the purpose that if some condensation happens to gather on the windows, it will drip down safely out of the house through the “Weep Holes” in all of the windows, from now on.
That way, since you need to get the nitrous into as many homes as is possible, it’s much easier to do if the window has some holes there for the terror army to use a means of putting the gas into the houses so the people can be killed and replaced with other people who will vote the way you tell them to vote, making everything more predictable at election time later on.
There, you just managed to create a easy way so your terror soldiers can do their job faster, better, and by government mandate with blessings from the Window Manufacturers Consortium who are people who care about climate change.
You have been doing this a long time, and are so skilled as a salesman, that you can sell moccasins to an Eskimo, and snow shoes to a native American in Arizona, no problem.
You learned long ago, that making things easy for the pirates, speeds the boat along and that a little grease in the grooves makes the guillotine blade come down much smoother. Holes in the window, are grease on a guillotine groove.
===========================
Edit: 9:34 pm:
I go to the store, and there is always some asshole who wants to bum a cigarette as I come out of the store, or wants a couple of dollars for gas.
That’s a lobbyist in training.
A lobbyist, literally, are people who go to places where congressional members are likely to be, such as in the lobby at Capitol Hill. The congressional members need to come out of their offices at least once per day, so, go bum a smoke, hang out in the lobby and wait until they walk by, to ask for some gas money.
===============================
Edit: 10:03 pm:
(Pacific Power Corp turned off my power for just one second as I went to share this next part here, as I pasted the URL for this Buick Commercial, the power went off long enough to knock out my modem, and stop my computer from running. This is big terror news here, it’s revealing, is a major peice of evidence of the Window Manufacturer’s Consortium being used to put holes in everyone’s windows, by government mandate)
As I was saying when I was so rudely interrupted by Pac-Pow:
You are are a Christian Pirate Leader, are on TV, and with this commercial have instructed millions of terror pirate scalawags that you were successful at putting holes in all of the windows in USA, and their job will be much easier after all of the new houses are built after this ad was aired.
Grease, on the grooves of the guillotine ad:
youtube
Edit: 10:23 pm:
I need some assistance to keep the connection from being hijacked all the time.
Pac-Pow zapped my power, but that is not all, the Centurylink/Google/Tumblr terror consortium is still fucking with me also. Pac-Pow is the right hand, Centurylink is the left hand, Google is the brains of the three, and tumblr is like a pen that won‘t work all of the time, or a pencil that keeps breaking, have to keep sharpening the damn thing.
That Norton product is fake, I pay a lot of money annually for Norton 360, but they give me that fake one, I can’t do anything about it. It’s been fake since day one. I have been able to get a real copy in the past, but they change it in the background to that fake one. It’s been about fifteen years since I was able to download the real Symantec product. I pay for Norton 360, but I get Symantec Life Lock instead. Centurylink can and does do a lot of invisible hokus pokus with that fake product they came up with. You could have the same problem on your computer. There is nothing you can do to get the product you pay for, that is what you get. It never finds any problems, ever.
My computer must be perfect.
That thing that happened with the power going off was like this, I suspect:
I went to YouTube. I knew exactly what I was looking for. I typed a YouTube search for “Buick commercial with All Buick’s will have holes in the side”, which is another commercial about the same thing, except the ad says “all Buick’s will have holes in the side” on the commercial I was specifically looking for on YouTube. Then, what happened, is a flag went up at Google HQ, they know that the Buick commercials are a problem, so the called Pacific Power right away to scare me away from posting the commercial to show you about the Weep Hole terror at the US Government Mandate level.
Google initiated the power cut at my house, lasted only a second or two.
Please help make the connection secure at least, if you won‘t send medical help.
=============================
Edit: 11:17 pm:
Local Update:
A walk to the mailbox was uneventful.
There is no mail, just air inside the mailbox.
It’s warm, is 51 degrees outside and drizzling.
The warmth could be the reason my vision is do good today, as the forced air heating has not been on much today, I have the thermostat set for 59 degrees lately, down from 61 degrees after getting a giant size electric bill last month. The warm temperature and absence of use of the return air making the negative pressure condition could be why not much airborne gas came into the house today, my vision was very good for all but about one hour today.
The Myers have all of their interior lights turned off, and have a altarnate porch light turned on at the addition entrance that was put onto the house about three years ago. The holiday lighting around the door remains on.
Chapman’s is showing signs of strangers at 3701 Russell road with unusual lighting habits.
All remains dark at 520.
I did not pay attention to trash can conditions, was interested in Myers.
Freebergs is nearly dark, one internal house light can be seen from the road, just one small string of holiday lights out by the roadside is on.
Monroe Offensive Trailer has lighting on at the entry and a small blue glow in the rearmost part of the trailer is present. Monroe’s trailer was dark last night. The Copper colored Toyota or GMC Canyon truck that was at the Monroe trailer is no longer there at the trailer, could be in the driveway as usual. I did not go over that way.
Bells is all dark from where I can see.
I don’t have a view of Phillips 507 to ever say anything about, but there has been absence of activity there for some time, but I don‘t go outside often enough to know about much activity, only static conditions. It’s too dangerous to go outdoors in day time for any length of time.
Chartrand’s is per yesterday as far as I can see.
Dietrick’s turned off the extra porch yellow bug light that was on last night, it’s back to one yellow porch light showing now.
Clyde Baum’s seems a bit darker, less lighting than is usual. I don‘t have good access to a view to know what is normal and was is not.
If I looked at Strong’s, I did not see anything remarkable, I was in hurry, and did not want to fuck around, so, I don’t know, have to look later.
That’s all.
There were no indications of traffic noises near or far.
The Norton security “background tasks” pop-up window was on the computer screen when I returned from a five minute walk. Only five minutes of idle time had taken place, as is usual for the Norton pop-up, despite that it’s supposed to wait about a half-hour before doing background idle work.
The Norton pop-ups are being used to fool someone, somewhere, and have been for many years.
The heater was just on, my vision is poor now.
======================================
Edit: 1-13-2021: 12:06 am:
The thing about the “Weep Holes” in the windows, I have known for decades, I did not know the magnitude of it though until more recently.
I was held captive by Eastwood Guitars and other music industry terror operatives in around 1998 - 2002, forced to design many things for many different terror cells. This guitar is one of my designs. I have never been given credit for any of the things I designed, but that is not important, what is important is that I included a lot of hidden ideas into the things I was forced to design, and this Bucklund model is one of them. It’s designed after, and in association to my knowledge of the Weep Holes, and their connection to the Buick advertising. The guitar is a Buick. It was done to show later, if I could get free of the captivity, that the window Weep Holes are a product of terrorism, done by the same groups of people who were holding me and my family captive.
I am free of that captivity, but into another kind of the same captivity now.
It’s a Buick.
It was designed to explain the Weep Holes that were put there so that the nitrous would be easier to put into the victims homes.
===========================
Edit: 1-13-2021: 12:39 am:
One more time:
The nitrous oxide gas won’t hurt you, and, it won’t hurt the sword wielding terror Christian Pirate who is putting it up your nose. You don‘t smell it. You don‘t see any gas. You can‘t taste that the gas is there. You have no idea that you are being gassed. The terror soldier is fully aware of where the gas is, what direction it will go. They can take precautions that you are not going to do.
The gas does not hurt you. It does make you dumber than a box of rocks at a quarry. Stupid dumb. You will laugh your ass off, as the terror soldiers entertains you momentarily, just long enough to make you put your hands into the hand cuffs they bring with them. The sword is a last resort, just in case you fight back. They want to capture you, not kill you right away. They need to know where the rest of your family is at, and where your assets are at, and how to access them. They take you to a dungeon, basement somewhere, or a empty warehouse to torture you so you will talk. Once they are done, you will be begging them to kill you, it’s that bad.
The gas does not kill you, won‘t hurt you.
The terror soldiers kill you.
The nitrous works as a truth serum, it removes all of your instincts to protect yourself, is invisible in every way, it will make you tell the truth, you cannot tell a lie when exposed to nitrous gas, it won‘t work if you try. You will lead them directly to your family. It’s a pain reliever, you won‘t scream, they can torture you at a mall parking lot at Christmas time, you won‘t scream, no one will know as they pass by with Black Friday Sale Items.
You are not immune to nitrous gas.
If you think you are stronger than the gas, you are fool, and are exactly the kind of victim that makes a good target.
Terror soldiers, Christian Pirates, do the killing, not the gas.
That, and it’s cheap to make. For $50 you can buy everything needed to make an ample supply at any well stocked farm supply store, a visit to a department store for a coffee maker, and gag shop for some balloons to store it in. For another $50 you can get the professional pressure tank at any well equipped plumbers supply outlet.
Plumbers test ball is the preferred pressure tank among the Christian terror pirates, rectally holstered:
=======================
Edit: 1-13-2021: 3:01 am:
I am being throttled by the internet terror consortium, Google/Centurylink/Tumblr in so many ways it’s not easy to know which of the group is doing what particular digital hokus pokus.
For the past few hours, these conditions are notable:
The day started with the Tumblr app notice on my previous post featuring Donald Trump on the cover of the Rolling Stone, then, I was not allowed to make additional edits to that, had to start a new post, this one.
After that, the page I was working on, would jump all around, I go to type some words, and the page goes flying up to some other place.... have to find my curser, I know it must be around here somewhere... so, that happened all day.
Then later, after the bit about the plumbers test ball, the internet just stopped working... the computer was working. The modem was working. All of the internet connections where in place, and were working, but there was no connection... all of the pages I tried to go to were blank.
“Sorry, we can‘t find that web site, please try again later and check your connection settings...”
Assholes.
One page did work. I was able to connect to Google Gmail to see the contents of my Google Gmail. Yahpoo mail was gone, so was Wikipedia Ten Codes link... all blank, but all the modem lights were on, and the internet connection indicator said all was good.
It was like I was totally stranded, even worse than I already am stranded.
I broke the internet.
The whole thing for about two hours.
This happened:
See, says it’s all good at the bottom right where the internet connection icon is at.
They gave me that scary message, says my privacy is important there at the top... they are going to go ahead and route my privacy somewhere else, it says.
Terrorist bastards.
That was the case after posting the photo of the plumbers test ball, immediately after that.
I am glad it works now. Even if there is no one there who will talk to me.
I got a phone call on Sunday, it’s Wednesday now, but I did not answer the phone call, or check the message, it’s too dangerous to check a phone message when the US President is chasing after you, to kill you. Trust me, that is scary.
=============================
This Just In:
1-13-2021: 2:50 pm:
See that? The way the movie camera icon is not working?
The Google/Centurylink/Tumblr internet terror consortium strikes again. They won‘t let me post the link to the Ozzy Ozbourne version of the Stepenwolf song Born to be Wild, where it’s all different kinds of fucked up at Ozzy’s House too.
Did you know that Ozzy Ozbourne has gone through somewhere around 22 spinal surgeries in his lifetime? All result of Amp Guru and the Vatican Choir terror pirates beating the living daylight out of him for writing and singing the revealing lyrical content he exposes in his music. They didn‘t send him the Great Gig in the Sky just yet, instead, the tossed Sharron at him, and then later, the gave him a reality TV show, Jimmi Hendrix Stage Rush style at his house every minute of every day.
Look at the date of the weird Ozzy song at the linked page above.
Ozzy, doing Stepenwolf’s Born to be Wild, featuring Ms. Piggy and The Count on backing vocals:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1NGzog11vc
(Factoid: It is musically forbidden to do a cover of Born to be Wild, and/or Deep Purple’s Smoke on the Water, the Vatican Choir Amp Guru murder police will track you down, burn your guitar, and bury you in your amplifier if your band plays those at a night club)
Save Ozzy, save the world. He can tell all, people will listen.
Note to Mr. Osbourne: You may not remember the day I chased those Amp Guru thugs out of your house in So Cal, but if you think about that very narrow doorway at your studio, the one I walked through and sat down, and wrote you a note, to say what little I knew at the time, you may recall the day I chased thugs from your home.

Terror math:
It’s about the Bass (Base) of Global terror.
Black Sabbath: N.I.B.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB84LL-Z8TU
Just the title is all you need.
There must be a Knight around here somewhere, a stowaway scalawag.
Perspective is necessary from a listener, audience standpoint.
You need prerequisite knowledge about coded language of the entertainment industry, here, specifically, scale is not a factor. Whatever it is, can be as large or small as is needed at a given time, so, ...
N.I.B. contains three periods. Those are “Blood”, “Moons”, “Months”, “Heads”, “Stones” and “O’s”... other as needed.
So, N.I.B. = NOIOBO
It’s a SAG thing to start with (Head Start). Ozzy and SAG are not getting along very well at the time.
Three Stooges show up, beat the living daylight out of Ozzy Osbourne for having recorded the song “War Pigs”.
So, “Spread Out”: N O I O B O
Step the fuck back, have a look.
We have to consider the global magnitude:
Ozzy is from Britain, or UK, somewhere close to the source (Sorcerer)
So, they sort things out over there, God’s job. is to sort things out. (Google)
So, sort it out: “N O Ten Downing B O”
Maybe we can Start there.
I see nitrous there. N O is nitrous.
“Nitrous Oxide Ten Downing B O”
Sounds offensive to me.
“Nitrous Oxide Ten Downing B Offensive”
Hmmmm....
Where is that Ten Downing (I O Downing) again? It’s in Britain, we already decided it was all about the Bass (Base).
“Nitrous Oxide Ten Downing British Offensive”
Conclusion:
“N.I.B. = Nitrous Oxide Ten Downing British Offensive”
Perspective:
N.I.B. by Black Sabbath
(Nitrous Oxide Ten Downing British Offensive by Black Sabbath)
(Nitrous Oxide Ten Downing British Offensive by NO² Sunday, See?)
Oh, yeah
Some people say my love, cannot be true Please believe me, my love, and I'll show you I will give you those things, you thought unreal The sun, the moon, the stars all bear my seal
Oh, yeah
Follow me now and you, will not regret Leavin' the life you led, before we met You are the first to have, this love of mine Forever with me 'til the end of time
Your love for me has just got to be real Before you know the way, I'm goin' to feel I'm goin' to feel, I'm goin' to feel
Oh, yeah
Now I have you with me, under my power Our love grows stronger now, with every hour Look into my eyes, you'll see who I'm My name is Lucifer, please take my hand
Oh, yeah
Follow me now and you, will not regret Leaving the life you led, before we met You are the first to have, this love of mine Forever with me 'til the end of time
Your love for me has just got to be real Before you know the way, I'm goin' to feel I'm goin' to feel, I'm goin' to feel
Oh, yeah
Now I have you with me, under my power Our love grows stronger now, with every hour Look into my eyes, you'll see who I'm My name is Lucifer, please take my hand

Stooges come on stage, get in your face for playing Born to be Wild:

Pirates are superstition bastards:
They want me to spread that 1 and 3 apart. Fuck that.
369 is International Pirate Code for: Eternal Progression. Eternal Power. Infinite Control, and other ways of saying that the pirating will continue ...
Fuck that too.
They work the math a little different than I do:

AAaarrggghhhh!
There is more than one way to be a Pirate!

So American Gods...
I was really, really excited for the American Gods tv show, was feeling very pleased by most of the casting, and the book used to be my absolute favorite book for a long time. After watching two episodes I’m starting to feel kind of unhappy about the show. When I googled reviews/talked to friends everyone else seems incredibly impressed, so I’m wondering, is it just me?
I’ll put the things I’m concerned about under a cut, so you don’t have to read my whining if you don’t want. If you are a superfan of the show please know I’m not trying to bash it for not being exactly like the book, and I’m aware two episodes is hardly anything, so I’m definitely going to watch the whole season before I officially decide how I feel. These are just things that bugged me. If anyone wants to share why they love the show, or to commiserate with me, I’m very interested in having a dialog on this. I am very happy with how they cast characters, and the way the show is highlighting immigrant stories, that is wonderful.
I think my biggest overall beef is, it seems like Bryan Fuller wanted to make everything much bigger and more explosive, more blood, more fights, more drama. I get that it’s a tv show, so things need to be amped up, but the tone of the show is just so different to me than what I anticipated.
My favorite thing about the book were the quiet interactions Shadow had with Midwest America (a place that I am from). It read to me like a love letter from Neil Gaimon to his new home (he moved to Minnesota from the UK). Weird townies, chatty waitresses full of local trivia, small town pride, he even nailed a specialty of my state: pasties. Overall Shadow had lots of very cordial interactions whenever he travels in the book.
So far in the show either those moments are either not seen, or turned hostile. For example, in the first episode his interaction with the ticket agent is combative, whereas in the book it was explicitly pleasant. I know that seems like a small thing, but it just felt very tonally different to me.
Also, Shadow. In the book Shadow is a very passive character. He reacts, not acts. That’s actually his whole character arc, these things just keep happening to him, until he decides to act by doing Wednesday’s vigil. It’s only after he chooses to do the vigil that Shadow becomes a more active character, and makes choices to end the war, and to rescue Hinzelman’s victims. Laura even says it, he never seemed fully there or alive to her, and then after the vigil Shadow turns real. Book Shadow pushes down his emotions, is incredibly placid and affable. He gets along well with anyone he meets, outside of people who treat him as an enemy. He’s quiet, and reserved. TV Shadow is much more emotive, angrier, and gets his buttons pushed far more easily. In a book, of course, we get to see into Shadow’s head, whereas in a TV show he needs to either tell us or act out his thoughts and feelings for us to follow, so I get why there needed to be some changes to his personality. However, after reading this article I’m feeling much more concerned that Fuller and Green truly don’t “get” Shadow. Book Shadow would never in a million years let Audrey Burton blow him, it doesn’t fucking matter that he just got out of prison. Book Shadow literally does not seek out sex at all, his only sexual experience is when Bast initiates it in his dream. He’s clearly too devastated by everything with Laura to want to pursue sex, to the point that someone (I think Marguerite?) notes that he has an unavailable “married” vibe to him.
Smaller things that bugged me:
- The initial Viking scene seemed just gorey for gore’s sake, without sense or reason. In the book they meet a Native man, and it’s him who is sacrificed to Odin, then the rest of the man’s tribe find him dead and kill the invaders. In the show, the vikings kill each other. If they’re all dead, how are they going to sail back? Sailing is incredibly difficult, you need all the men you can get, and you want them able bodied as possible. After the mini war, the number of crew that either died or lost limbs? No way they’re able to sail that giant boat back.
- Bilquis. In the book, she’s moonlighting as a prostitute. The guys she picks up are sleazes, men who are trying to use and abuse her, and who have the tables turned on them once she gets them alone. I didn’t feel bad for those men. In the show they made the guy a nice single dad, who has kids that approve of him dating. It made me wonder if I was supposed to perceive her as a villain, and him as a victim. From what I read, it looks like Fuller and Green thought making it a man on a date made it more worshipful/powerful/respectful than having the guy be a john, so this might be a YMMV type thing. Yetide Badaki is amazing though, that casting was perfect.
- Why did Anansi show up wearing modern dress and speaking in modern parlance? Gods always reflect back to us what we expect to see (to an extent), so shouldn’t he have been wearing clothes appropriate to that time, and speaking in the language of the man who called to him? It just seemed odd to me.

Wednesday 14th November 2018 Sat down with my collaborator to discuss the upcoming project. I had already decided on doing a concept album based on The Great Gatsby, as we had actually started work on a song with such a concept a few months prior, titled Buchanan Street. We chose this source of inspiration because we both love the book and have great reverence and understanding of it, and we know it is a deep well from which to draw inspiration.
Wednesday 21st November
Had our first songwriting session dedicated to this project, repurposing a song we had started earlier in the year as I thought the mood and lyrical content of the piece fit with the direction of the project nicely. The lyrics evoked to me an image of Gatsby and Daisy Buchannan on their first night together, talking things out late in the evening after the excitement had died down, picking apart each other’s minds and motivations, and trying to peel away the layers of pretence surrounding their personas. The music is melancholy and atmospheric and suggests the beginnings of the disillusionment of Gatsby’s dream as he is finally presented with the object of years of his desire, only to find it imperfect and something that could never live up to the dream.
Wednesday 28th November
Continued work on the aforementioned song which we decided to entitle Behind Dark Glasses. Also started a new song, Sins of the Father, following a discussion on how nobody ever really thinks of the events of The Great Gatsby from Daisy’s perspective, focussing instead on Gatsby and Nick’s feelings, so it would be interesting to look at things through her point of view. As such, we began to think how she would view the situation, torn between an unhappy-but-stable marriage, and the distant promise of a potentially better future with the man she had all but given up on years prior. We also thought about a concept brought up in the book of the cycle of negative behaviours and how they are learned. Daisy is, in essence, as we all are, simply acting out based on her surroundings and upbringing - repeating the sins of her father, as each generation tends to repeat the same mistakes as the preceding one, because it’s how they’ve been brought up, and all they know.
Wednesday 5th December
Decided to potentially do Sins of the Father as a duet, with one verse from Daisy’s perspective and another from Gatsby’s, with the two of them singing in harmony by the end. To accomplish this we can get our singer’s sister to do a guest vocal spot. This was an idea from the mind of my collaborator, who noted that the vocal harmony part I had devised for the end of the tune would lend itself to this approach.
Wednesday 12th December
Decided to employ some of my reharmonisation skills in an attempt to make Behind Dark Glasses more musically interesting. Perhaps a symptom of having spent so much time playing/listening to it, the simplicity of the chord progression was starting to get to me. The song is in 7/8 and alternates meter with 4/4 several times throughout, so is interesting rhythmically, and structurally, but I still felt I needed to spice up the harmony a little. I went from a vi-IV-I-V progression of Am-F-C-G to a vi-ii-I-iii progression of Am-Dm/A-C-Em, which I felt was significantly more interesting and slightly less predictable, and the inclusion of the E minor especially lended a darker, sadder tone to the overall piece.
Wednesday 19th December
Again continuing work on Behind Dark Glasses, I looked at the B section of the song which modulates from A minor to A major and features the progression Dmaj7-E(7). I liked the way the E7 acted as a turnaround chord back to A minor via its appearance in both the A major and A harmonic minor scales, but suddenly realised that I could use the Dmaj7 and E7 as bVI and bVII chords respectively to modulate to the new key of F# major, which sounded extremely triumphant and lended itself to a big, bombastic final “chorus” section for our song. Initially the two A minor and A major sections were already in contrast with each other, one dark and brooding and the other more uplifting and catchy, but this third section really elevated the song to new heights, soaring and really giving the song the kick it needed. How exactly the lyrics would progress into this section after being about such a somber topic for so long, we were yet to discover.
Wednesday 9th January 2019
After a short (ish) break for Christmas, we got right back into the swing of things by practicing the two songs we had written thus far, making slight alterations to the lyrics and melody. We then re-began work on the song that started it all, Buchanan Street. We already had a vague idea that this would be a more general, retrospective look at the events of the novel, mentioning things like he green light, the expensive cars and the valley of ashes. We also had a line for the ending of the song, “Don’t know where to go//Got to go my own way”, which we felt encapsulated a feeling of wanting to move on after the life-changing events of the novel, albeit being unsure of exactly where or how.
Wednesday 20th February
Contact with my collaborator at this point had become very sporadic and it was becoming increasingly difficult to actually get any work done with him. In his defense he had a couple of good excuses - his uncle died, then he had to attend the funeral, then his family went away on holiday, then his grandma got diagnosed with dementia and he had to help out in the purchase and renovation of a property close to his own house to which he and his family members could easily travel to look after her, etc etc. Every week he had a new excuse and every week I began to get more and more anxious over whether or not I would be able to make the May deadline for our project, and it was my degree on the line, not his. I don’t really blame him for circumstances outwith his control, but he has also proven to be somewhat unreliable on occasions prior and since. Due to all of this, during discussions with my lecturer we elected that I make a final decision on whether or not to proceed with the collaborative side of the project, or just do it all on my own, most likely completely instrumentally. Feeling that our idea had a lot of potential and that it would be a shame not to attempt to push forward with our project as initially planned, I decided to carry on with the collaboration, but really start to drill into my partner just how important this is and how little time we have left. Perhaps I could have planned things a little better, met up with him more than once a week and had other avenues available for myself to explore should our partnership give way, but I was a little one-track-minded on this idea and hoped everything would work out well.
Wednesday 6th March
We decided from this point on to really get a move on and to try and get one studio rehearsal session and one at-home writing session per week, in order to work on vocal melodies and lyrics respectively. We found that writing at my house was great for coming up with lyrics but bad for trying to come up with vocal melodies as we couldn’t be as loud outwith a studio, so decided to combine approaches. Continuing to work on Behind Dark Glasses, Sins of the Father and Buchanan Street, I had by this point created MIDI demos with some recorded audio tracks in Logic, nailing out structures and sounds and other minutia of our songs, coming up with vocal melodies and harmonies, etc. I had also started music for two new songs, tentatively titled Sailing (Track 01) and Oatabix.
Wednesday 13th March
At this point I had noticed something - all of our songs thus-far are mostly mid-tempo, ballad-y sorts of songs, which are great in isolation, but a good album needs variation. Look at my favourite concept album, American Idiot, for example - it has a nice blend of short, punky songs (American Idiot, She’s A Rebel), longer, more operatic songs (Jesus of Suburbia, Homecoming), and slower ballads (Are We the Waiting, Wake Me Up When September Ends). Noting this, I decided to make our opening track Sailing a faster, more exciting, more direct and more simple, back-to-basics rocker, and attempt to come up with at least one other new song in a similar vein, as Oatabix was another slow-burner.
Wednesday 20th March
Finding it very difficult to come up with more exciting songs than the ones we have already, we turned our attention to first tidying up the lyrics we had written thus far, and then finishing off all of the lyrics for Behind Dark Glasses, Sins of the Father and Buchanan Street. Noting that is was getting very close to April, the month in which we had initially planned to begin our recording process, we chatted briefly about recording avenues, and decided to record at West College Scotland’s Greenock campus, as we know Andrew McDermid who works there, and my collaborator guaranteed that we could get in. For the recordings I decided I am going to re-amp all of my guitars, meaning I will get perfect performances recorded at home into my computer which I can then bring into the studio to be re-recorded through amplifiers, in order to save time in the studio. I am going to do guitars and bass and program any synth parts, and Mark is going to do all the vocals, and we are going to get my friend and longtime collaborator Jake Fisher to do the drums.
Wednesday 27th March
Another week of no correspondence from Mark, I was beginning to get very stressed. However, we arranged to meet up in a studio on the upcoming Friday and hopefully blast out as much as we possibly can in the three hours allotted.

The 27 best moments from the 2017 NBA Finals
From Rihanna, to 3-1 leads, to deleted “Cavs in 7” tweets, the NBA Finals held plenty of surprises.
Look, the basketball: it was good. But, with the exception of a wild Game 4, the NBA Finals unfolded as expected: The Warriors dominated and destroyed the Cavaliers, despite Cleveland’s best efforts.
While the final result wasn’t surprising, we did have some twists and turns along the way. From Rihanna’s appearance, to J.R. Smith’s deleted tweet, to KD and Steph’s moms dancing after a win, here are the best moments of the 2017 NBA Finals.
1. When Rihanna won Game 1
Rihanna showed up courtside and walked by Jeff Van Gundy, who was all of us when he yelled, “ARE YOU KIDDING ME?”
Things only got better from there. Rihanna’s a huge LeBron fan, so she bowed to him during the game at one point, then turned around to dab on the fans who told her to sit down. Never tell Rihanna to sit down.
Amazing. Rihanna bows to LeBron then hits a dab and small waves a Warriors fan telling her to sit down. http://pic.twitter.com/q0IyIPIbGK
— Rob Perez (@World_Wide_Wob) June 2, 2017
Not long after, Rihanna’s long time friend and assistant Jenn Rosales yelled out “BRIIIICK” during a Durant free throw. Durant then appeared to stare Rihanna down after nailing a three-pointer, though that depends on who you ask. He wouldn’t confirm or deny. But, I mean ... show me a world in which Rihanna doesn’t get in someone’s head, and I’ll show you a world in which a current NBA team can beat the Warriors.
Steph Curry tried to play it off like Rihanna didn’t have everyone completely shaken, saying that she’s never been on a Warriors locker-room playlist. Which is clearly their loss: There are few songs inspire the vanquishing of enemies like Desperado.
2. When it came out that LeBron and KD once recorded a rap song together
The track is ... something. I mean, it’s not good. I mean, it’s bad. Let’s hope these guys don’t quit their day jobs to pursue their art anytime soon.
Here's the Lebron James-Kevin Durant secret track! 1 million retweets to release the whole song! @espn @NBA @CBSSports @SInow @SportsCenter http://pic.twitter.com/4oCIEHsSJP
— Spider Studios (@SpiderStudiosOH) June 5, 2017
3. When Jay Z taught the world how to take a truly great candid photo
He’s a pro.
4. When we learned that JaVale McGee has a hairless cat named Raja
Where were you when you realized that JaVale McGee not only owns a sphynx cat named Raja, but has created an Instagram account for her?
Where were you when you realized she gets massages?
Shoutout to @sootheapp for the massage.... Mike W. has magic fingers... #sphynxkitten #sphynx #sphynxcat #spynxlair #sphynxlove #sphynxcat #spynxtagram
A post shared by RAJA (@rajathesphynx) on Mar 11, 2016 at 3:02pm PST
5. When we all got to meet LintBron James
I am not in the business of being speechless, but this sculpture made out of 30 pounds of dryer lint rendered me completely mute.
LintBron James. She said she made this out of 30 pounds of dryer lint. http://pic.twitter.com/brkeeITHYn
— J.A. Adande (@jadande) June 7, 2017
Breathtaking.
6. When the dude washing the court pulled off the most incredible scooting motion America has ever seen
But you’ll just have to take a look and decide that for yourself.
7. When KD and Steph’s moms got super amped together after their sons won Game 3
Do you know how incredible it feels to watch your son torch another team in the NBA Finals? Unless your son is an NBA player, then no, you don’t. Seems pretty great, if this video of Sonya Curry and Wanda Durant celebrating after their sons won Game 3 is any indication.
MAMA CURRY AND MAMA DURANT ARE HYPE
A post shared by NBC SPORTS BAY AREA (@nbcsauthentic) on Jun 7, 2017 at 8:55pm PDT
8. When Mark Jackson said “full steam of head” instead of “full steam ahead”
LOL! I could be wrong (gotta check the facts) but I’m pretty sure this was the greatest mix up in the history of the English language. “Play it by year” and “in egg shell sits Deio” have nothing on “full steam of head.”
Slightly related: Highly recommend saying “that train has sailed” or “whatever toots your boat” in everyday conversation. Really kicks people for a loop.
9. When Kyle Korver dunked and Draymond Green smiled
Even Draymond Green liked Kyle Korver's dunk. ( Kyle Terada-USA Today) http://pic.twitter.com/wmYb003B5Z
— SB Nation (@SBNation) June 8, 2017
Look, it’s not every day that we get a Korver dunk, OK? Even Draymond realized this was something special to behold.
10. When Steph Curry appeared to maybe pretend to poop on the court and then said he didn’t (I know, I can’t believe this is where we are, either)
There was this whole thing where Steph squatted down on the court at one point during Game 3, and everyone was like, “Oooooh Steph mimed pooping on the floor!”
So a reporter asked about it:
“Steph, I’m sorry we keep asking you about squatting, but while Draymond and Steve were arguing with the ref and one of them got the technical, it looked like you squatted down. And were you just stretching there, and what did Richard Jefferson say to you?”
“Are you serious right now?” Curry said to the reporter.
“You got to be better,” Durant added.
Sports writers, folks.
11. When Jeff Van Gundy defended Khloe Kardashian?
JVG went on this whole soliloquy about how people should stop saying that Khloe is the reason Tristan Thompson has been playing badly. JVG: not a fan of the Kardashian Kurse.
12. When Dwyane Wade showed up in a track suit to Game 4, and the internet roasted him for it
Everybody had jokes when D. Wade appeared on the sidelines dressed like Usher.
Ready for Game 4 of the #NBAFinals... @stephenasmith, @DwyaneWade & @SHAQ! http://pic.twitter.com/lcLP3FzBhd
— NBA (@NBA) June 10, 2017
13. When Draymond did or didn’t get a technical for elbowing Iman Shumpert in the head
I mean, he did. But then when he got another technical, the refs said that the first technical was supposed to be on Steve Kerr, so Draymond didn’t end up getting tossed out of the game. Which is totally fine and normal and not at all something that would make anyone suggest the NBA is in anyway (to quote Ayesha Curry) “absolutely rigged for money.”
14. This goddamn self-alley-oop from LeBron James ...
LeBron makes me hyperaware of my physical limitations. How do you DO THIS in the middle of a GAME?!
15. ... which J.R. Smith credited to the fact that LeBron is a Gatorade Baby
JR in LeBron's self alley-oop: 'He's a Gatorade baby. He was made in a lab somewhere.' http://pic.twitter.com/41CEC3Trfx
— Sports Illustrated (@SInow) June 10, 2017
What on God’s green Earth is a Gatorade Baby, J.R.? The “made in a lab” part I largely agree with, given what LeBron can do, but the Gatorade part is giving me pause. Maybe J.R. is referring to those 90s ads where Mia Hamm ran around to that “Everything you can do I can do better” song.
Or maybe this doesn’t make sense nor mean anything, but we’re going to roll with it because it’s J.R.
16. When the third quarter of Game 4 turned into a WWE match
LeBron and KD mouthed off at each other, Draymond almost got ejected ... we were one metal ladder away from Undertaker coming out of retirement to drop Kerr with a piledriver.
17. When the Warriors blew a 3-0 lead and the internet exploded with 3-1 lead jokes
They wrote themselves. And namely consisted of: Remember that time the Warriors blew a 3-1 in the 2016 Finals with the first-ever unanimous MVP?
18. When Draymond basically called all of Cleveland stupid
I mean, if you’re going to play games like WWE matches, you can’t begrudge Draymond for really leaning into his role as a heel.
Cavs fans don't like Draymond. The feeling is mutual.
A post shared by SB Nation (@sbnation) on Jun 9, 2017 at 10:32pm PDT
19. When Snoop Dogg showed up to Game 5 dressed like Merlin
Maybe he didn’t get the memo that D.C. wasn’t in the finals, because he was doing his best Wizard impression.
Snoop x 40 Water x Stephen A http://pic.twitter.com/dWMcogXFDk
— Bay Area Sports Guy (@BASportsGuy) June 13, 2017
20. When LeBron dunked KD through space and time back to Oklahoma City in Game 5
The laws of physics don’t apply when you’re LeBron James.
21. When David West and Tristan Thompson got into a fight and accidentally kissed in Game 5
Things got heated on the court when West rebounded a layup that Kyrie missed in the second quarter of Game 5, and then Kyrie tried to take the ball back. West snapped, then Thompson got involved, and then all hell broke loose when the two big basketball men appeared to kiss each other before refs and teammates separated them.
The Bachelorette might’ve gotten pushed from Monday night because of Game 5, but at least we still got a make out. It raised the very important question: Is kissing on the court a technical foul?
22. When the intimate moments continued, and Draymond caught Klay and held him up in Game 5
“Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna turn around and desert youuuu...”
23. When the Warriors pulled away like a getaway car leaving a bank, went up 122 to 110 with three and a half minutes left, and we were all like, oh, that’s right. The Warriors have Kevin Durant. And this is all over. And it’s ending just the way we thought it would, only one game later, so we still got to make our 3-1 lead jokes, and now we can all go to sleep and wake up next June when the Warriors are in the Finals again
^That’s all I have to say about that.
24. When Wanda Durant also deserved to get a ring
KD and the real MVP ❤️ http://pic.twitter.com/LSPNrz00nO

Congrats, Warriors, on the basketball.
27. And finally, here it is, the best moment of the Finals: When J.R. Smith tweeted and then deleted “Cavs in 7”
Minutes after Game 3 ended, a tweet appeared on J.R. Smith’s timeline that said “Cavs in 7.” He or someone else deleted the tweet after it had racked up close to 40,000 retweets.
In the parking lot after the game, J.R. claimed he was hacked (classic) but that he agreed with whoever sent it.
Who knows. Maybe J.R. sent it. Maybe J.R. was hacked. But you know what? It doesn’t matter. Because that transparency — whether it was Russell Westbrook’s pettiness, or Draymond’s taunts, or the Celtics showing up to Game 6 against the Wizards in D.C. wearing all black — was what kept us on our toes this NBA season. We all knew what would happen. We all expected to be here. It was the little dramas, the glorious gossip, the deleted tweets that gave it life.
So here’s to next season. The Warriors just dunked on a year’s worth of 3-1 lead jokes, and it’s hard to imagine a world in which we don’t find ourselves right back here when June comes around again. So, to that I say: Cavs in 7, Gatorade babies.
