I remember watching The South Bank Show on The Smiths, 'round at Graham's house. And then Morrissey said something at the end… (1999)

Okay so I was thinking someone should do something adjacent to this band au by @emilywaters but with Rembrandt as the lighting director but i fear that i may be the only person capable of this considering you know. Thats actually my job. But i have too many wips so you're getting this au in post form. Everything I changed from the original post is due to me writing out this entire post before I successfully tracked it down so like it's not me disagreeing I simply forgor.

I'm not sure what like level of fame they were supposed to be in the original but i need them to be doing stadium shows purely for Rembrandt's sake okay she deserves it theyre touring with an ma3 just believe me.

I think Cleon was originally their lead singer but she had to step down for. Reasons. Idk. So the Warriors are hard up bc their producer is on their ass about getting demos recorded for their next album but none of them really feel good about replacing Cleon.

Mercy is a mistreated burnt out pop idol who's just kind of getting listless at this point because she's basically just a prop for a brand and she can't even give a fuck about her music anymore. She meets Swan at a party and they hit it off and get blackout drunk and Swan wakes up the next day with a recording on her phone of Mercy doing a demo of one of the songs she wrote. She takes it in to their producer like here fine theres a demo are you happy and shes like??? Hello???? This is incredible??? Who is this singer??? And Swan is like hahaha. About that.

The producer reaches out to Mercy's management and theyre like um absolutely not she does not want to join your band she's a solo act but then Mercy gets Swan's number somehow and is like i DO wanna join your band actually but im stuck in this goddamned contract. So then its about them getting their record label to go up against Mercy's and get her out of her contract so she can be their new lead singer.

And also more importantly (to me) is the subplot about the like relatively young and inexperienced lighting girl from their home venue who Cleon insisted on hiring for their first tour and who just kind of stuck around and became part of the group. They tour with a disproportionately nice rig bc Rembrandt is a fucking nerd and none of them can resist her puppy dog eyes about getting shiny new toys. And like yeah she's kind of quiet and doesn't talk much in a group but she can hold her own against the fucking overhires giving her shit at whatever venue and not taking her seriously and she gets stars in her eyes when Ajax asks her about programming so like needless to say Ajax is a little bit obsessed with her. Rembrandt's job is half ordering around men twice her size and age and half real-time computer programming live in front of an audience. Ajax never stood a chance. There are always fans trying to see Ajax after the show and Ajax is always in the booth while Rembrandt talks about the latest patch grand ma pushed out and how she hates everything about it and everyone at that company is trying to ruin her life (she will have adapted and forgotten about this in two days until the next patch which alters her workflow .00001% upon which time she will again believe her career is over and she needs to call them to revert the console)

I think probably their relationship is more of a flashback moment bc obviously The Warriors can't be touring while they're looking for a new singer but I think when they're not on tour Rembrandt lives in Portland and does like weird indie performance art shit and Ajax stays in LA with Swan and the others and the long distance is kind of killing them. Could Ajax stay with Rembrandt in Portland for a few months and fly back down when they're actually recording stuff? Absolutely. Does this idea terrify her existentially for reasons she can neither articulate nor overcome? Also absolutely. But on a more fun note Rembrandt drags Ajax to USITT with her every year which is actually kind of fun for Ajax because in addition to Rembrandt being so excited nobody there is impressed at all by her being famous but they ARE impressed that she knows how DMX works. So. Who's laughing now Swan. The flashcards worked.

Emotional moments, you left in a rage But if you could love me now, I wouldn't be in a cage Provisional license, I'm under arrest But if you could get me out, I'd like to take another test

Cage (aka Emotional Moments) [x] An unreleased song by Paul McCartney, 1978 [x]

[nelson-riddle-me-this]

listening to the soundtrack for Inside Daisy Clover (1965) and Natalie Wood really is a terrible singer. There's some spots where they've dubbed her, and it's fairly well integrated. I don't know anything about the story, but given that "You're Gonna Hear From Me" is such a prominent song and that I assume the song plays a prominent role in the movie, it's weird to cast someone like Natalie Wood when singing seems to be pretty important. But they put her in West Side Story so.

warning for loud music lol

Sometimes in life you just need to *violent amen break*

BTW that's a preview for my future SH3-themed breakcore album ayayaya (this one will be called 'Memory Of Your True Self' which is a reference to Memory of Alessa plus a reference to Claudia's quote to Heather [hence the violent rhythm <3])

Oh yeah, I feel like Plastic Ono Band and Walls And Bridges both especially have a lot of gay angst vibe in it in their own ways. Also I forgot Whatever Gets You Through The Night! "Darlin', listen to me, I won't do you no harm" and Elton being wingman and all that.

I think what really kills me is how angry 90% of johns are until you get to his demos (& jealous guy) and then most of pauls are so fucking pleading like. ouch! why don't I just lie down and cry for a few hours.

Maybe my sense of humor is off, but I cannot stop laughing at the evil genius that is BC playing the original (and I cannot emphasize this enough) terrible demo of The Story that Phil recorded in 1998. Just the three of them sitting and staring at each other during the panel promoting the Twins’ new album at the Grammy Museum while this demo just goes on and on for a seeming eternity.
