GO LISTEN TO JAZZ EMU HE'S AMAZING!!!!!!!!! ❤️

[somewhat-very-insane]

[hplonesomeart]

Whoops! Looks like this network is running on an outdated script, needs some immediate changes I’m afraid. But stay tuned during this brief commercial break as things get tidied up, we’ll be back on track in no time!

…..that was a long winded way of saying I’ve finished making some Mr. Puzzles fanart and I like how it looks :3

Bonus content section wahooo here’s the art without the dialogue included

By the way incase anyone is curious what the jumbled words scattered around are talking about- it’s song lyrics to Still Waiting by Jazz Emu. Was one of the inspirations to make Puzzle’s art since the whole thing is about getting immersed into watching television to an unhealthy extent that it pushes your loved ones away :)) seemed fitting

Also here’s a close up shot of just his face, taken by my wonderful phone camera which (for whatever reason) automatically puts a darker filter on it! Plus added pixel patterns from the screen itself kinda adding to the whole glitchy wave ambiance. Feel free to do whatever with it just please credit me somewhere and we all good 👍

[hp-lonesome-actual-art]

Yuhhhhhh work in progress checks. Kinda loving how the process looks as slow changes and additions manifest. I’d feel bad not sharing the doodles/clearly unfinished sketches, because the progress is what I love so much about making art to begin with. Also at first I didn’t know if I would like the more experimental glitchy direction for background, but ultimately glad I’m taking it that route. The original background plan wasn’t something I could figure out the colors of anyways would’ve been a haste lol

The first time I tried to write the lyrics from memory….turns out I got “D.V.D” mixed with “T.V” later in the verse- whoops. Hence why it’s worded very differently in the next attempt using actual source material. The song included in the art is Still Waiting by Jazz Emu because DAMMIT it fits Mr. Puzzles so damn well I’m actually foaming at the mouth. Jazz Emu is severely underappreciated and I feel like if we’re gonna headcannon swagger villains with Lemon Demon and Will Wood songs, Jazz Emu shouldn’t be excluded as an exception! I’ll shout at the rooftops about his music if that’s what it takes! THE TUMBLR SEXYMEN DESERVE BANGING BEATS. To this day I’m scouring Spotify waiting to see if anyone else has put this song in there for him PLEASE jksjsksp

I’ll be posting the finished one soon enough :))

[amazing-spiderling]

Since you wanted some Distraction Asks: Last impulse purchase that wasn't food. Last song you listened to. Last song you had stuck in your head that wasn't the one you listened to. Favorite coord (that's the word, right?)? Favorite accessories? Favorite memory of the last year? Favorite perfume or cologne?

Last impulse purchase: I have made... a lot of impulse purchases lately oops. >.> But most of them were Christmas gifts! Well, IDK if it's an impulse purchase if you let it sit for more than 24 hours... but I'm going to say the 4 LP record set of the Samurai Champloo soundtrack I picked up on Yahoo Japan. I really liked that series back when it was airing, and the music slapped. I have a small record collection but it's like 90% anime and game soundtracks lol.

Lat song I listened to: 黄昏のBay City as part of a "Future Funk" playlist on youtube.

Last song stuck in my head: "My Brothe: An Email Funk Opera" by Jazz Emu. It's... I don't know. Is catchy the right word? I just keep yowling out the spam email quality english. "AND I LIKE GIVE IT ALL TO YOUUUUU"

Favorite Coord: HARD TO PICK. Gosh, okay so when I was FINALLY able to go to a Takashi Murakami exhibit I made a coord inspired by "Mr. DOB" a character of his and that was a really silly, verging on costumey thing but it was something I'd wanted to do for years and I finally DID IT. Also, I have this Daredevil coord waiting for the right opportunity to wear it >.>

Favorite Accessories: My husband gave me a really sweet Chocobo silhouette necklace one year and it's very elegantly nerdy. On the less elegant side of things, I have a fanny pack that is like... reflective metallic blue plastic that appeals to the vaporwave fan at the core of me. I also have this... steel(?) ring. I don't know where it came from, but it appears to be made of one very long nail or screw with a hexagonal head. The body of the nail is then stretched out and smoothly curls around the head before bending back. The effect means that the hard edges of the head are surrounded by the soft curl of the hammered body and I thought that was a pleasing contrast- and I sort of adopted it as a symbol of how you can be soft on the outside, but still strong on the inside.

Favorite memory of the last year: It's been a heck of a year, hasn't it? Gosh, and time seems so fake, the days blur together. I spent a lot of time planning a Japanese fashion mixer for a small convention in my town. I wasn't able to spend much time there because of I'm high risk for Covid complications, but THANKFULLY the con chair made masks and vaccines a requirement so I was able to show up for some portions. I got to meet up with an art icon MINORI and purchse some of her artwork, which was wonderful. While I wasn't able to attend most of the mixer (since people were unmasked and eating) I skipped out to go eat some (awesome) Venezuelan food on a patio and dipped back in as things were winding down. People seemed to be having an amazing time and enjoyed the theme and decor I put together, which was really satisfying after putting so much hard work into it.

Favorite perfume or cologne: I don't usually wear the stuff? I have some bottles of like... fruity smelling bath and body works nonsense, but this is just never a thing I got into. I just smell things and go "yep, that's a smell. It smells like x!" but I don't really have opinions about them. Anyways, my go to body sprays are the like, mango or raspberry nonsense because i want to smell like a snow cone or cake, I guess.

YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY TOO !!!! also 12, 23 and 24 (for music asks)? :3

I DID HAVE A GREAT DAY, AND NOW I HOPE YOU HAVE AN EVEN BETTER BESTEST DAY EVER!!!!! >:D

12: A song from your preteen years

Omg when I was a kid I was absolutely obsessed with musicals, and all I listened to was showtunes! My favorite musical was, and still is, Little Shop of Horrors, so I’m gonna have to go with any of the songs from that show :)). I also really liked the song You Can’t Trust a Man from Tuck Everlasting.

23: A song that you think everybody should listen to

Anything by Jazz Emu. Especially Still Waiting, Funkbot 10000, One of the Good Ones, Hœrgüpjelly Kisses, Shneeky Phase, and I Believe in a Thing Called Love.

24: A song by a band you wish were still together

I think they might have gotten back together sorta…but Already Gone by The Eagles. Also Now I’m Here by Queen…and of course Lovely Rita by The Beatles.

Thank you!!! <33

13: So They Say from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog :3 I don't mention that song as often as I mention some of the others from that musical, and I love it, so I thought I'd highlight it here ^^ It's a really fun one!!!

14: SOCIAL CLIMB BY IDKHOW <333333 MY FAVORITE MUSIC VIDEO EVER AUGH 🤩🫶

[somewhat-very-insane]

may i ask number 7 for the music ask game?

7 — a song to drive to

well, i cannot drive. but if i could, i would pick something jam-out-able on, like “Still Waiting,” by Jazz Emu.

also!! i found an audiobook copy of tgcf for you, if you’re interested! i cannot vouch for whether it’s good or not because i hate listening to audiobooks myself, but it came up on spotify and i remember you saying that you did not want to go to the library to get the books. so i thought you might be interested in it.

(Some) Albums I Currently Adore

Originally posted January 1, 2023

The title to this post was originally "Albums You May Enjoy," but I remembered after writing a bit under that phrase that I kind of hate it when the title of a piece addresses me directly like: "Things You Didn't Know About ___" or "If You Like ____, You Should Check Out ____" or "Four Things You Absolutely Need if You Don't Want to Look Like a Troglodyte to your Houseguests" -for whatever reason it feels manipulative. Like, chill- you don't know me and don't assume that your opinion has any bearing on me as a human being at all.

Whatever, here are albums I like right now, whether or not you choose to check them out, and if you disagree with me, that's great! Genuinely! Leave a comment and tell me your thoughts, if you like.

Also! I fucking despise numerical album ratings, if you're looking for those, you won't find any here.

New Music and Big Pop - Another Michael

Genres Indie Folk, Folk, Indie Pop

Time 35:01

Recommended Songs "New Music" "Big Pop" "What Gives?"

Though it may be a relaxing, acoustic listen, New Music and Big Pop has a quality to it that makes me stop what I'm doing in favor of experiencing the music on a deeper level. Comforting melodies, complex structures, and beautifully layered vocals, these songs give the impression of being produced to perfection- no aspect of them sticks out jarringly or feels out of place, the composition feels wonderfully aligned to a steady vision of the completed work. To me, the songs give a feeling of pensive calm but with a stylistic spin that is somehow evocative of garage rock or even punk. Also- listen to the whole thing.

______________________________________________________________

Growl Pop - Dan & Drum

Genres Alternative, Indie, Experimental

Time 41:48

Recommended Songs "Wanna Ride" "Interlude, Pt. 2" "Mona Lisa"

This one I was confused by when I found it. Dan & Drum make music that, while entirely entertaining and often melodically masterful, could really belong to a genre of its own just called 'Confusing.' Generally acoustically supported with some digital effects and various production quirks, the songs on Growl Pop can vary melodically so far within each song that it can be genuinely difficult to pin down what the main carrying melody may be, if there is one at all. The odd vocals and really cool harmonies also give each tune a very variable feeling.

Some of my favorite lyrics:

"I know better, it's mind over matter, yeah, it's mind if it's matter, it's a matter of time" - "Wanna Ride"

______________________________________________________________

Decide - Djo

Genres Synth, Synth-Pop, Pop, Alternative, Hypnotic, Aggressive, Dance

Time 36:03

Recommended Songs "End of Beginning" "On and On" "Slither"

This is one of those albums where the "Recommended Songs" section above is pretty much irrelevant. I think the entirety of this one absolutely rocks. Reminiscent of Daft Punk, reminding me of STRFKR and Video Age and Hall & Oates and even David Bowie or the Talking Heads, it feels like Djo has listened to all of my favorite music and taken all of that as influence, and then confidently produced the most powerful possible usage of elements from all of the above. This album is appealing to me to the greatest degree- sometimes dark, sometimes passionate, sometimes bouncy, sometimes explosive, I absolutely love it. Honestly it's so appealing that it makes me wish Djo kind of went a little weirder with the songs here- the potential for something groundbreaking is present, but for now it's just rad in all the right, if familiar ways.

______________________________________________________________

Digital Spool - Jazz Emu

Genres Comedy, Funk, Synth-Funk, Lyrical

Time 38:20

Recommended Songs "Still Waiting" "You Would Never" "Tonally Inconsistent?"

Comedy music can be a difficult genre for many to enjoy, especially when the current musical consumption climate makes each individual's music taste a point of scrutiny and something to base one's ego around- when any song you listen to has its main value in someone else hearing you listening to it and thinking highly of you, you tend not to want your sense of humor dissected as well. If you can't relate to that, congratulations and I'm happy for you. In any case, Jazz Emu has blessed us with a treasure trove of songs absolutely spine-tinglily funktastic, with lyrics that get me smiling every time. Emu has this way of weaving the comedy into the music as well as the lyrics, which is more than most others braving the genre are able to do, and I commend him heavily for that, as well as how this album deftly and ridiculously satirizes modern internet culture, even delving into issues of contemporary masculinity, insecurity, and the odd state of being a "content creator." The rare moment of sincerity is made even more powerful after you've heard the song that has a whole section of fart noises.

From 2 to 3 - Peach Pit

Genres Alternative, Indie Rock, Acoustic, Indie Folk

Time 37:54

Recommended Songs "Up Granville" "Look Out!" "Everything About You"

Peach Pit returns, in this album, with a pretty folk-y feel, much more than previous albums. It feels like if the songs from 2018's Being So Normal were teenagers, the songs from From 2 to 3 are adults. That parallel may just be me projecting, as the former album came out and had a great impact on me when I was, in fact, a teenager, and the latter arrives with similar importance in my burgeoning adulthood, but It's not totally without base. The songwriting in question has much less garage-rock angst (not that angst is a bad thing), the metaphors are much more refined, it really feels like Peach Pit's style has settled into a very comfortable era where nothing feels forced and the style is solid without being monotonous. An album like this could, in a very personal way, frame my decade.

Let it be known- almost every review of this album that I have seen has described it as Peach Pit's most "mature."

______________________________________________________________

Color Theory - Soccer Mommy

Genres Alternative, Indie, Indie Pop, Indie Rock, Rock, Dark

Time 44:13

Recommended Songs "lucy" "circle the drain" "royal screw up"

Dark and brooding, powerful and brooding, heartfelt and brooding, you get the idea- Color Theory falls in line with the movement in modern music of seemingly very sad, wonderful women, singing their hearts out in gut-wrenching rock and roll irreverence. Artistically, Soccer Mommy very regularly knocks it out of the park for me, I envy the raw ability that she has to convey feeling directly through the medium of sound, and this album is no exception. Many of the hits here were previously released as singles, but when put together in an arrangement like this, they are made all the more powerful.

______________________________________________________________

Modern Johnny Sings (Songs in the Age of Live) - Theo Katzman

Genres Rock, Indie Rock, Pop Rock, Funk, Indie Funk, Jazz

Time 1hr 25min

Recommended Songs "My Heart is Dead (Live)" "The Death of Us (Live)" "Lily of Casablanca (Live)"

Modern Johnny Sings: Songs in the Age of Vibe, the 2020 studio album, is a masterpiece in its own right. In fact, I do even like some of the songs on it more than their versions in this Live album, but the reason that the latter is featured here is that to miss the back and forth of Katzman and the audience, the absolutely incredible keyboard solos, the times where the vocals match up perfectly to what would otherwise be called instrumental improvisation if it hadn't been immaculately practiced, and the absolutely vivid joy of performing would be a disservice to no one but yourself. A Live album like this, that makes the listener feel as though they can see the action in front of them, is a gift. There are a few too many vocal embellishments for my taste, but regardless this work is one you shouldn't pass up.

Not sure if anyone's still reading, but here's hoping I keep writing.
