#susie brady

[rodgerdelany]

My original goal for composing Angels Gathering from Susie's lyrics was to create a song that she could play on piano. I knew that meant charting it. But, I did not quite understand how hard that would be.

I am proud to share that earlier this week we published the sheet music for Angels Gathering making it available on Sheet Music Direct, Sheet Music Plus, Music Notes...

For the technically curious, it took thirteen hours to chart Angels Gathering before editing by Susie. The MIDI and the audio were recorded together with the piano track. My thought was, "This will be easy... Buy an app, import the MIDi and life is good..." Well, it did not go quite that smooth. The piano did not directly convert to a single time signature and I only recorded MIDI for the accompaniment - left and right hands. There was no melody. In order to create a piano version, I had to write-out the melody by hand. I spent a hour or so running from the piano at one side of my office back to the computer on the other side. Like everything else, I did this the hard way - one dotted quarter note at a time.

Once complete, we decided to create an easy piano version for publishing which led to more editing and complications relating to software idiosyncrasies.

Despite writing quite a few songs, Angels Gathering is the first song that I charted since college. Let's just say that was a long time ago. It's a challenging process. But, I found it to be highly rewarding adding a sense of legitimacy to the songwriting process.

helena! my love! we've seen your ocs as boygenius songs... dare i ask what song you'd give them from phoebe bridgers' discography?

bluuuuuu this is the BEST yes yes yes

My OCs as Phoebe Bridgers Songs

Frankie Bevan - Friday I'm In Love

Monday, you can fall apart / Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart / Oh, Thursday doesn't even start / It's Friday, I'm in love /

Valerie Harmon - Graceland Too

So we spent what was left of our serotonin / To chew on our cheeks and stare at the moon / Said she knows she lived through it to get to this moment / Ate a sleeve of saltines on my floor and I knew then / I will do anything you want me to /

Susie Lamb - Scott Street

I asked you, "How is your sister? / I heard she got her degree" / And I said, "That makes me feel old" / You said, "What does that make me?" /

Anna March - Funeral

And last night, I blacked out in my car / And I woke up in my childhood bed / Wishing I was someone else, feeling sorry for myself / When I remembered someone's kid is dead /

Diana Fayed - Dominos

I scrape my eye when I touch the sky / And lose a little vision for the man / I can call it in my mind / I don't want to hold nobody's hand / I can toss in the morning light / I'll play dead when I'm buried in the sand /

Gwen Dastrup - Silk Chiffon

Life's so fun, life's so fun / Don't need to worry about no one / She said that I got her if I want / She's so soft like silk chiffon /

Faye Warren - Garden Song

The doctor put her hands over my liver / She told me my resentment's getting smaller / No, I'm not afraid of hard work / I get everything I want /

George Aarons - Chinese Satellite

Sometimes, when I can't sleep / It's just a matter of time before I'm hearing things / Swore I could feel you through the walls / But that's impossible /

Ships:

Frankie and Rosie - Sidelines

Watched the world from the sidelines / Had nothing to prove / 'Til you came into my life / Gave me something to lose /

Val and Ron - Killer

Can the killer in me / Tame the fire in you? / Or is there nothin' left to do for us? / I am sick of the chase / But I'm hungry for blood / And there's nothin' I can do /

Susie and DeMarco - ICU

But I feel something when I see you now / I feel something when I see you / If you're a work of art / I'm standing too close / I can see the brush strokes /

Anna and Eugene - Moon Song

And if I could give you the moon / I would give you the moon / You are sick and you're married and you might be dying / But you're holding me like water in your hands /

Diana and Reg - Chelsea

And you spit the blood back, spit the blood back, baby / I'm amazed that you're alright / Oh, so long, prison boy / I won't be home with you tonight /

Gwen and Brady - Waiting Room

I want to make you drive all night just because I said maybe you should come over / I want to make you fall in love as hard as my poor parents' teenage daughter / She'll be the best you ever had if you let her /

Faye and Shifty - Punisher

What if I told you / I feel like I know you? / But we never met / And here, everyone knows you're the way to my heart / Hear so many stories of you at the bar/

George and Curt - Georgia

Georgia, Georgia, I love your son / And when he gets older, he might be the one / He might be the one / Georgia, Georgia, he has beautiful bones / And he never lies or picks up his phone /

[cutebendy]

I got a request for Inky.

Inky can you, bendy and Brady wear an angel costume please?

Inky: But Susie taught me that angels can be creatures too. she was smug and tortured many people. so I don't think angels represent pure goodness. So I guess it's okay for me to wear this costume

Bendy: You asked Alice to design it like this and also don't make excuses about Susie, it's not even relevant

Inky: but....im.. *:l

Brady: Alice gave me her halo, but I had to lower my horns

Inky: oh yeah, you both look like real angels but i look like i just came out of war lol

*the three of them start laughing*

9 favorite characters tag game

Thanks for the tag @contrivedcoincidences6 !

I tag, anyone interested because I’m lame like that.

Some of my faves as shown above:

Elaine Benes (an icon and a legend)

Niles Crane (my rewatch of Frasier has been a delight, and he is a huge reason for that)

Susie Myerson (I love Midge but Susie is the damn show for me)

Steve “Patch” Johnson (so yeah, I thought Stranger Things had a lock on redemption arcs for obnoxious, smarmy, long-haired denim vest wearing 80s dudes named Steve. The arcs where they’re revealed as sensitive, romantic goofballs and become protective badass papas to kids that they save from weird situations. Anyway, I was wrong. DOOL did it first and they did it brilliantly.

C.J Cregg (also an icon and a legend. I really need to do a West Wing rewatch.)

Kayla Brady-Johnson (seen here working undercover to help Steve while rocking a fedora. She’s a sweetheart badass surgeon who’s been to hell and back, even by soap heroine standards, (like she fought the literal devil last season when he possessed her best friend). Anyway, she’s a boss and an adorable dork and I’ll love her forever)

Liz Lemon (I’ve never related to a fictional character more in my life than I do to her. I love it but it also slightly frightens me)

Dana Scully (I mean, yeah. 😍 No explanation necessary)

David Rose (an actual king. this scene clinched my eternal love for this character and this show)

Entertainment Spotlight: Will Vought, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

Actor, comedian, and writer Will Vought stars in the most recent season of the critically acclaimed dramedy series, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Additional television credits include The Good Wife, The Good Fight, both Lipstick Jungle and Love Bites, Bones, and Wilfred. Will is also an accomplished comedian, having toured the country opening for Wayne Brady. He got his start in the entertainment industry by contributing to Scott Shannon’s #1 morning show on 95.5 WPLJ, offering David Letterman updates and recaps, which opened the door for him to work for Late Night with Conan O’Brien. Following his work with Conan, Will was offered a position in the West Wing of the White House, working for former President Bill Clinton, where he still continued his radio work on the weekends as the youngest morning show host in the country at just 22 years old. Will went on to serve as head writer for Wayne Brady during his time hosting the The Late Late Show prior to James Corden in 2014 on CBS, and he continues to collaborate with renowned actor and comedian Paul Reiser, including shopping a television pilot they wrote together with Julie Bergman. We got the chance to ask him some questions. Check it out:

Do you have a favorite character arc from season 3 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel?

For Season 3, I’m finding myself really interested in Susie and her journey. I don’t want to spoil it for those getting ready to start the new season or binge the series; however, in the first two seasons, Susie’s been hustling and primarily being of service to Midge while her personal life hangs on by a thread. In season 3, there are so many more layers introduced and opportunities that will ripple into not only her clout as a comedy manager but also her personal life. Also, I’m really invested in Lenny Bruce. Having read so much about him to see his plight on screen told through Amy’s lens is incredible. I don’t know anyone in comedy that doesn’t appreciate what Lenny Bruce did for comedians. The end of the Season 3 premiere is absolutely priceless seen thought the eyes of Tony Shalhoub’s Emmy Award-winning performance as Abe Weissman - Midge’s father.

If everything that you did was narrated, whose voice would you want narrating your life?

HA! That is a great question, and I’ve had to think about it. At first, I thought of the late great voice-over artist Don LaFontaine who moviegoers would remember as the “In A World…” guy who made millions voicing almost every movie trailer ever! BUT…truth be told I think that I would love Seinfeld's voice and lens, and I think it would make my day to day activities far more entertaining to listen to, especially when on the phone with my therapist.  

Can you tell us about a time you bombed (on stage or in an audition)?

Well…the thing that pops to mind was an audition for NBC’s series called Lipstick Jungle. At the time, I was living on Long Island and decided to make the mistake of driving into Manhattan for the audition. Traffic was abhorrent, and you would think that there were mass casualties on the Long Island Expressway resulting in me being almost an hour and forty-five minutes late for the audition. The director of that episode was the one and only Timothy Busfield, whom I loved on Arron Sorkin’s The West Wing. Tim played reporter Danny Concannon - Senior White House Correspondent.

I had no idea that Timothy was going to be at the audition and was mortified when I showed up and saw him in the room because I was so late. It’s not unheard of to not be seen at all if you are late, let alone hours late. I read for the part and left. Tim was gracious. A month later, I got a call saying that I didn’t book that role; however, they were writing me another role and wanted to hire me for it. While on set shooting, Tim told me that when they asked him if he had any ideas for the part and he said, “That guy who came in 2 hours late. He was great. Hire him.” So I thought I bombed — but it worked out in the end.

The USO Tour scene from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel broke the record for the most number of background actors used in a scene for tv in the state of New York (850). What was it like being a part of such a huge production?

I’ve never worked on Star Wars, but that’s what I was thinking of when we were filming that. It was by far the largest set I’ve ever been on, and yes there were almost 1000 background actors there for almost an entire week, who made up the audience of the USO show that you see in the season 3 premiere. When I met with Amy and Dan for the final audition for the role of Major Buck Brilstein, it was at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn in a small room that’s not much larger than a small studio apartment in Manhattan. It was the three of us and Emmy award-winning casting director Cindy Tolan. We did all the material from the episode, and to juxtapose that to being in an actual hanger with 1000 extras essentially filming a USO show that’s scripted — it was a historic moment in television that wasn’t lost on me.  

What was the audition experience like for your role on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel?  

I kind of talk about that above. I had a great experience. As with anything, you have to go in a number of times, and then the final callback is with Amy and Dan Sherman Palladino. You are 2 feet away from her, there is a camera, and Cindy Tolan, the casting director, and you create the world and do the scenes — WORD PERFECT! That is a huge thing, and something I was told going in. Be word perfect every time. Their words are like notes on a page. Each one carefully picked and placed, and my job is to take them off the page and bring them to life with a sensibility of 1959 and a guy that’s a major in the army who always wanted to be a comedian but never really got the chance. So, my character is literally living his dream in this episode. Beyond that, you bring your A-game, nail it, and it’s up to Amy and Dan. It happened to go my way, and as I told Amy, I was grateful to get the invitation to play in her world. She wrote and directed this episode, so it was extra special.

Is there a specific role or moment that you feel has defined your career up to this point?

We’ll — this is pretty significant re: working with the Palladino’s.  I thought that The Good Wife was a big deal at the time — as I was part of Bob and Michelle King’s storyline that revealed Josh Charles’ character was murdered.  

It seems that I’m only allowed to act opposite actresses that have won 2 Emmy’s and 2 Golden Globes for Best Actress. LOL.  It’s truly a hard question to answer as each project is different, and as an actor, you hope that one job will open a door or opportunity to another.  That’s what I’ve found, at least over the past few years, so it’s certainly a slow burn.

Years ago, I was the low man on the totem pole at NBC’s Late Night with Conan O’Brien. I was an intern in the writing department under John Groff and often got the chance to appear in sketches on the show. This was an invaluable experience. There was an afternoon where I asked Conan (as I was cleaning his office) if he knew this was what he was going to do from the beginning. I’ll never forget what he said. He told me that, “In his wildest dreams he never thought he would be hosting a late night show.” He described show business as being on a highway. He was a writer in college, wanted to be a writer and set off on the highway with the goal of writing in mind. Along the trip, there were exits: Mad Magazine, The Simpsons, SNL. After each exit, he gets back on the journey. If you want to be a teacher or doctor or lawyer, you know exactly what to do. Go to X school for X years, and then they declare you as such. Boom. You’re it. Hollywood is not like that. Everyone’s path is so different, and how we get to where we are is almost inconsequential when compared to the culmination of the journey. I’ve been blessed to do a lot of different things so far and work with incredible talent that truly moves the needle in this business, and I hope for more opportunities.

What’s your favorite bit or joke from one of your stand-up sets?

I have a new bit I’m working on that’s fueled by my natural anger toward this situation.

I hate paper straws.

If this makes me a horrible person, so be it. If “they” think I don’t care about the EARTH or ENVIRONMENT and support the extinction of humanity because of this — so be it.

Paper straws? Really? Who did this make sense to? Who thought it was a good idea to combine PAPER and WATER?

I’m sure it seemed like a good idea at the time — but it doesn’t work. Three sips into my iced coffee and the thing has disintegrated, and I’m now drinking iced coffee and paper!

If you think paper straws are a good idea, let me ask you one question. Would you like to use a paper condom?

In the future, you’ll be standing in the rain telling your friend you can’t understand why she’s pregnant and soaking wet from holding the paper umbrella.

I will say that if we do switch to paper condoms …. I don’t know about the environment, but we will absolutely ensure the survival of humanity.

Lighting round! Describe each of the following in one word: Who you are, what you value the most, and what you’d be if you were a food item.  

I AM WILL VOUGHT.

I VALUE MOST: MY SON.

IF I WAS A FOOD ITEM, I’D BE A BEYOND BURGER!

What are you working on right now?

Right now, I’m working on sending out subliminal messages via Transcendental Meditation to Adam McKay for a coffee meeting that would result in being cast on the 3rd season of Succession on HBO.  I’d text him, but I don’t have his cell. Do you?

Thanks for taking the time, Will! Catch Season 3 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Prime Video.

Lux Radio Theatre - Anchors Aweigh (December 29, 1947)

Sponsored by: Lux, Pepsodent. “Two sailors on leave find songs and romance. Frank Sinatra as Clarence Doolittle, Kathryn Grayson as Susan Abbott and Gene Kelly as Joseph Brady all reprise their original roles from the Metro Goldwyn Meyer screen hit.”

A slightly lacklustre writeup for a delightful, silly, charming movie with a ton of fun songs and -- as per usual with all of their sailor/baseball/etc. films of the time -- a pervasive sense of We’re Pals Who’re Sometimes Gay For Each Other between Kelly and Sinatra. Kathryn Grayson is cute as her own button nose and honestly I always thought Susie wouldn’t care if the boys were sweet on each other anyhow, so long as she got her shot with Iturbi. She’s not so choosy, no, not our Susie!
