Character/s: Ohio/Michigan

Favorite Lyrics:

You're gonna leave

I better get used to that

I thought I might watch your back

All the time

You introduced me to

The whole wide world, who

Lights up the way I do

When you walk up smiling

Open me right up

Find the joy of way too much

Find the pain in never enough

Dancin’ their dance

Arm in arm

Circling 'round this room

Like the sun a'chasing the moon

Yeah you open me up

I’m in my bare feet, standing in the clover

I got you buzzing around my head

I don't care if I get stung

For a little bit of honey on my tongue

For a little bit of honey on my tonguе

Why I Chose This Song:

This is such an Ohioigan(???) song to me; I can’t explain why: it just IS.

Song Review: Songs from the Road Band - “Where the Road Goes”

Songs from the Road Band came up with a real song from the road with “Where the Road Goes.”

A traditionally minded, uptempo bluegrass number about a non-traditional lifestyle, the standalone single is a celebration of the difficult life of a touring musician, with the difficulties left in the proverbial blind spot.

Ask me where I’m from and I say everywhere/I go where the road goes/follow where the wind blows/I thank the stars each day/I get to wake up and say/I go where the road goes, is how they describe it.

“Where the Road Goes” is the strongest track yet from SFTRB, the brainchild of Steep Canyon Rangers co-founder and former bassist Charles R. Humphrey III. Fans rooting for the group might hope it represents the band turning a corner.

[spacetimeaccordionfolder]

me: oh boy time to finally make a playlist for this thing I enjoy!

the part of my brain that suspiciously sounds like that one Game changer skit where Brennan Lee Mulligan is the devil on Zac Oyama's shoulders: there's an interesting weather phenomenon in this media. clearly you need to add "More Bad Weather on the Way" by Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers. Who cares if bluegrass isn't the vibe of any of the other songs on here. If the author of the media didn't want you to put "More Bad Weather on the Way" in that playlist they wouldn't have made weather an obstacle for the protagonists multiple times. the only words in the song are "more bad weather on the way" multiple times. It's fate. You have to do it now.

Square Dance Hell: Part 3/3

Swear warning

Part 1

Part 2

I've had this script sitting in google docs for months (after posting the initial idea), so it's a relief to take it off my to-do list. It didn't turn out exactly how I expected, but that's art!

Creator notes:

Page 9, where Eddie's on the ground by himself and everyone's walking away, I don't know, drawing that got me really emotional. T-T

Who's throwing french fries???

I just made up that Black Sabbath tee because I didn't want to rip anything off too much. It's kind of cool, maybe?

Eddie ended up looking so ticked off about being interrupted! XD

The final panel was really hard with all the text and the layers and the doodles that had to be arranged. The quote is Tolkien; spoken by Faramir to Eowyn.

So where is Jason? My theory is that he was in the square dance class at first, but the basketball coach freaked out when he twisted his ankle a little on the first day, so he got excused.

Did Eddie give up on that class, or was the cheerleader's siren call too tempting to resist? ;) I like to think he would rather suffer through it than miss the chance.

Songs I listened to waaaaay too many times: Sweetness by Jimmy Eat World, Women Like To Slow Dance by Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers, On Your Collarbone by Jordan Klassen, Dreams by Fleetwood Mac.

Omfg. Venting. Just low key almost died. LOL.

I have this old ass truck. It’s not ancient ancient but it’s like a 97? A Ford Ranger. Idk something like that. Not as old as my cool old Chevy was. But it does have like 280K miles on it lol.

Anyways. Usually it’s a tank. But it had some issues a few days previously and then today those issues kinda came to the front.

It had died randomly when I was in town last week. No issue, I just restarted. Had to stop in the middle of the road but it’s down town ish so no one is going that fast.

But today! Just a few minutes ago! It was losing power going up our steep hill. We live on a steep gravel hill that’s between 13-15 percent grade in most spots. Go look up how steep that is if you don’t know. It’s steep steep. Especially for a drivable hill.

So I’m backing out of our lower driveway (where the animals are) loaded up with my dog and my freshly milked goat milk and as I go to chug up the hill to our house the Rpm’s just TANK. I’m revving first gear and it is not going. It’s sputtering like it’s gonna die. I slam on the brakes and engage the E brake (idk about newer cars but on old cars the brakes don’t work properly when the engine is off) (this is a stick shift car idk if I mentioned that).

So then im stuck. I can’t get it to power up or whatever. I’m not a car person. I try different gears and just gunning it and it doesn’t work. Im terrified to turn it off all the way. And my cellphone A) doesn’t work rn and B) doesn’t get reception on the hill even if it did work. The only person close to me is Quiet Dave the neighbor who doesn’t talk to anyone. And there’s a REAL possibility that my truck just fucking rolls off the cliff on either side of our STEEP ASS HILL and no one even sees what happens.

So long story short. I do restart it. Multiple times. And on one of those times the RPMs went up. Gunned it and it worked. Totally damaged my poor E brake, I smelled rubber, but I refused to disengage it until I was moving. I finally disengaged it and made it up the hill. It almost died again near the top but we made it.

To say I was shaken is an embarrassing understatement. I was like. Ugly sobbing. My poor dog was looking at me like I was an alien. I was shaking so bad I could barely walk. I have so much driving anxiety (anxiety doesn’t even cover it) and I HATE driving up this all already. This fucking hill has been a source of stress for me for almost literally my entire life. (My uncle used to live where my brother / neighbor lives now and we used to come here for thanksgiving and Christmas sometimes and I vividly remember thinking that we’d just slide backwards down the hill and into oblivion cuz there’s no way any car could just keep climbing up this insane hill).

Anyways. I bitch constantly about the hill but here’s a good example of how it’s legitimately scary sometimes. All fun and games until ur brakes don’t work right and you remember there’s nothing but canyons and trees and blackberry bushes on either side. 😭😭😭

Song Review: Steep Canyon Rangers - “That’s All” (Live, Rehearsal)

There’s an undeniable groove to Steep Canyon Rangers’ take on “That’s All,” which comes out in a knotted ball of banjo, mandolin and fiddle driven by brushes on a percussion kit.

And while the groove cannot be denied, there’s another intangible that holds back the Genesis cover. Perhaps it’s the song itself. Maybe it’s that the band was working out the kinks in an empty Red Rocks Amphitheater. Or perhaps it’s something else. But something is missing.

There’s a germ of an SCR tune in that rhythm track. But “That’s All” ain’t all that.

Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[lbctal]

Boyd and 🎶💔

i’ve been waiting for the music question all my life…

music headcanon: as we all know, boyd can canonically clog! so i think when he’s just chill, having a glass of whiskey or two, he’ll be listening to some bluegrass. albums i think he’d enjoy: long violent history (tyler childers) and tell the ones i love (steep canyon rangers).

angsty headcanon: alright i guess i’ll bring up my codependency theory! i think boyd is identity-less without others. he so badly desires others to desire him, whether it be as a leader, lover, or enemy. when he’s a alone he doesn’t know who he is. when you see him around others, he knows who he is. a racist, a preacher, an outlaw. but alone? he’s just the boy who lost his momma.

thank you for this one, it was fun!!

9 People You'd Like To Know More

I was tagged by several people for this one, thank you all. 😊

last song: On The Water by Steve Martin and Steep Canyon Rangers. I fucking love banjos y'all. And I have always adored Steve Martin.

currently watching: Several things. I'm on season 8 of my every-few-years Scrubs rewatch, which means I'm almost done bc I won't rewatch season 9 this time. I'm halfway through season 3 of Picard for the first time and LOVING IT (no spoilers please). And Mr. SDW and I are in the middle of season 1 For All Mankind.

currently reading: The Awakening by Nora Roberts. It's the first book of a series by her that came out...two years ago I think? I'm enjoying it more than I've enjoyed some of her recent stuff, although her writing style has far too many commas these days IN MY OPINION. But I'm already 2/3 of the way through the book, and I just started reading it a week or so ago. (I'm not a super fast reader like everyone else On Here so this is good for me lol.)

current obsession: Honestly I have been playing Spades on my phone like it's my job lately. I've also been on a big Space Kick, thanks to my shows and the fic I'm still working on (forever and ever) and just how I keep running into it in my daily life. It's been great. And I have figured out how to keep my tumblr dashboard crabs on the desktop version past the expiration date so I'm tending that like a careful garden.
