[amugoffandoms]

hehe silly doodle day!! here's day seven of milgramtober!!

"What the FU–?!" Fuuta's voice resounds through the panopticon.

"E-eh...?" Muu walks out of her cell and spots Fuuta running from the other side of the panopticon.

"Oh, Muu, do you know what's going on?" Yuno walks over from her cell. "I heard Fuuta yelling, but I kind of assumed he was just yelling at someone again." She shrugs.

"Um... Muu doesn't know what's going on either..." Muu mumbles.

"MOVE! MOVE!!" Fuuta screams as he runs closer to Muu and Yuno, who quickly move to the wall.

"What's going on?" Yuno asks as Fuuta finally stops running and puts his hands on his knees to take a breath.

"Mikoto... released... a fucking spider... into... the cells." Fuuta pants.

"A spider can't be that bad?" Yuno blinks.

"It's still a spider!" Muu wails.

"Oh, I guess that's true..." Yuno sighs. "...is someone else running ove–"

"FUUTA, IT'S COMING!" Mikoto shrieks as he dashes towards the group.

"...oh no." Fuuta whispers before grabbing Yuno and Muu by the arms. "We need to go. Let's go, come on!"

He starts running off, dragging Yuno and Muu along with him.

"Okay, okay! I'm coming!" Yuno runs as Fuuta pulls her along.

"H-Hey, Muu isn't ready for this–" Muu cries out. "...wait, um... where's Haruka?"

Fuuta and Mikoto both immediately stop. Fuuta looks over at Mikoto.

"I thought you grabbed him and he was lagging behind??" Fuuta huffs.

"Well, I thought you brought him here and left him in his cell! " Mikoto throws his hands in the air.

"Hey, doesn't that mean you left him with the spider?" Yuno points out.

"Spiders." Fuuta states. "Mikoto decided to disturb the fucking spider nest in one of the cells."

"Mikoto, you what–?" Yuno looks at Mikoto.

Mikoto frantically waves his hands around. "Okay, look– I didn't realize it was a spider nest until spiders started escaping it."

"You poked a spider's nest???" Yuno stares at Mikoto, complete shock on her face.

"Ah– Okay, well–"

"Mikoto!" Yuno exclaims.

"Okay, okay!" Mikoto sighs.

Yuno huffs before laughing.

"Um... I know we're having a good time here, but Haruka is still with the spiders..." Muu pipes up.

"...oh, SHIT–" Fuuta's eyes become wide. "Fuck, okay– Who is going to get him?"

No one raises their hand.

Muu sighs. "Muu can go, even if Muu is a little scared... For Haruka!"

"Thank you, Muu." Mikoto nods.

"Okay, now, go, go, go!"

"Muu is going, but where??" Muu huffs.

"Oh, right, ah–" Fuuta points in the direction where Haruka is and Muu runs off.

Muu starts speeding up as she notices blue hair. Eventually, she can see all of Haruka. "Haruka!"

"O-oh, Muu!" Haruka turns around.

There are spiders all around him.

Some of them look like they're twitching.

...Muu wants to leave now.

"Um... what have you been doing?" Muu watches Haruka awkwardly stand there.

"...ah... I was... stomping on the spiders. They're smaller than me, s-so I can kill them, right...?" Haruka slowly walks closer to Muu.

"Oh." Muu blinks. "Um... Haruka, Muu thinks there's more spiders than the ones Haruka has been stomping on."

"W-What?" Haruka stops walking right in front of Muu and begins turning around to look.

"I think there's going to be too many to stomp on eventually. So, you need to come with me!" Muu grabs Haruka's hand and starts running.

"A-ah, Muu–" Haruka starts while he tries catching up to Muu.

"No time! The spiders are going to chase Haruka and Muu!" Muu cries out as she tugs on Haruka's hand.

Haruka has a confused look on his face, but he starts running faster to try to catch up with Muu.

"They're here!" Mikoto shouts as Muu and Haruka round the corner.

Fuuta immediately stops pacing. "Why did you guys take so long??"

"Haruka thought he could stomp on the spiders." Muu explains, still confused why he'd decide to do that first.

"What." Fuuta turns to Haruka.

"U-um..." Haruka tugs at the end of his shirt. "They're smaller than me... So, I thought..."

"I mean, that's true." Yuno shrugs. "But, I honestly don't think someone can stomp on all the spiders. I think some would escape."

"Oh." Haruka blinks. "Ah, wait, doesn't that mean—"

The somehow both loud and quiet sound of crawling starts drawing closer.

"HOLY SHIT–"

"Okay, so it's time to run now!"

"Yep, yep. I agree with Mikoto. Let's go–"

"Ah, wait for Muu–"

"And me...!"

Yuno, Mikoto, Fuuta, Muu, and Haruka burst into the common room.

Kazui, Kotoko, Mahiru, Shidou, and Amane stare at the door.

"..."

"..."

"What are you doing?" Amane asks, looking a little annoyed by whatever just happened.

"Spiders." Fuuta tiredly says as he walks over to a table and sits down.

"Spiders??" Mahiru repeats, confused. "There are spiders?"

"Yes!" Muu nods as she sits down. "Muu and Haruka had to run from so many of them! It was so scary..."

Haruka nods in agreement.

"You were being chased by spiders?" Shidou questions. "Couldn't you kill them?"

"Haruka already tried that, but they still chased Muu and Haruka!" Muu cries.

"Oh dear..." Shidou mumbles.

"Oh, you all found the spider nest." Kotoko takes a sip of her protein drink.

"YOU KNEW ABOUT IT??" Fuuta's hands slam into the table.

"And, you didn't tell us...??" Mikoto awkwardly rubs his neck.

"I assumed you all would ignore it until Es found it. I guess not." Kotoko sighs.

"Mikoto, please never do that again." Yuno exhales as she sits down on a table.

"I'm sorry, alright? I didn't mean to!" Mikoto sighs.

"Eh, wait... Kayano, you touched the nest?" Shidou places his cup of tea on the table.

"Yes! I'm sorry, alright?" Mikoto places his head on a table when he sits down.

"Oh dear..." Kazui awkwardly laughs. "We told Es about the spider nest and they said they would deal with it. About now, I think."

"Isn't that good...? They're going to deal with all those spiders for us!" Muu asks before realizing.

Es bursts through the common room doors.

"You all said the spiders were still in its nest?!"

"Oh, come on!" Mikoto groans.

"Wait, are they coming here??" Muu looks like she's about to sob. "Muu doesn't even want to go back to her cell if there are spiders swarming it!"

"Okay, that's it!" Es huffs. "Everyone will be sleeping in the interrogation room while I deal with the spider problem."

"O-oh, yay...?" Muu blinks.

"Oh, this is going to be so fun!" Mikoto grins. "Haruka, we should have a pillow fight!"

"E-eh...? 'Pillow fight'...?" Haruka blinks.

"Have you not done one before? Oh, man! Now you really need to do one with me." Mikoto wraps an arm around Haruka's shoulder.

"A-ah, wait, um... okay."

"Sleepover time!" Mahiru squeals.

"Oh, are you–"

"Fuuta, come on~" Yuno grins.

"Fine, fine!" Fuuta huffs.

"Oh, what are we going to do?" Mahiru hums.

"If everyone's silent at night, then I don't mind." Amane states. "I would like to study at night."

"Ah, Amane, would you like me to–"

"No."

"Yuzuriha, will you be joining these activities?" Kazui asks. "This old man... sort of got roped into these." He laughs.

Kotoko sighs. "Fine. Considering we've spent so much time together anyways, it should be fine."

"Oh, thank goodness." Kazui exhales with relief.

Muu watches Es shake their head and turns around.

There's a spider on their hat.

Muu freezes.

"THERE'S A SPIDER ON ES' HAT!!"

October 19th, 2007

hello hello hello to anyone who actually finds these interesting, we just like having an excuse to look through our photos.

here’s some photos from ireland: just to prove we went

thats us chillin’ (haha ellen is a comedy genius) in the fridge in belfast

there were bad omens for the tour in belfast considering the power went off as soon as we started our set. but we feng shuid and cleaned our chi and started the tour anyway. we also made tom felate a banana…

The first memorable thing to have happened was the bread face we made in bristol…(on another note Ollie is currently continuing his quest to try and fit into as many small spaces as possible. This week he is attempting to get into the kitchen cuboard in The Cockpit. He is currently in the cuboard. He just fell out of the cuboard. People are laughing, i think he may be crying in pain. Possibly concussed.) Back to the bread face, all appreciate the glory and wonder of its kiwi eyes and banana smile. We were so proud of the success of this initial experiment that we thought we would make him a brother. He is closely modelled on his siblings, apart from the additional banana eyebrows and extra detail (note the lifelike haribo eyes.)

We have been touring with the wonderful You say party! We say die! and dead good Sky Larkin, who have been brilliant company and have been fairly embarassing to play after due to the fact we suck bottoms compared to them. The photo below is a example of YSP!WSD! majesty when we all played in Manchester together, although you cant really tell she is wearing a amazing gold dress. Krista is a shining star in a dark night. Devon is a dark knight mounting a shining star. Derek is an explosion of stardust onto the face of Steve who is painting glitter on Becki. (Their words not ours.)

Before the gig in Manchester Neil decided to try and to prove that we are the second most punk rock band in England by letting us write on him in eyeliner. He then removed his shirt during the second song prompting his mum to worry that he had got a rather hideous new tattoo. We also did a interview in Manchester with a certain someone who wasnt very careful when texting a friend during the show and a mutual friend reported to us afterwards that this certain someone said that some of the band were fit, and perhaps dirty and looked like they like to experiment in bed due to their appearance. The bands response to this is that we are all very hygienic and extremely boring in bed.

In Glasgow we were given some brilliant Fan art which is Niall’s own interpretation of our little faces, and bodies. He has also included himself in the picture, but at first we just thought he had mispelt Neil. It is now sitting on our Dashboard, and if anyone wants to make us some more to perk up our van we would be very grateful. I would also like some febreeze to save time on washing. If we get two we might be able to set up a fan art page on our website….

We had a aftershow party in Glasgow (our very first organised aftershow party) at the Garage, we think however the staff are perhaps….muppets. They took our whisky off us at the door, they searched Ellen to the point of sexual abuse asking her to tell them where her Weed was because “they were going to find it and throw her out.” Ellen does not smoke weed, but the fact she roaches her rizla packets for rollies because she cant be bothered to buy filters made the security suspicious. This also makes them stupid. But the party was extremely fun despite the music of Good Charlotte/30 Seconds to Mars being continously filtered through to the area we were in.

Doug from Sky Larkin and Gareth demonstrate their gunts in Newcastle. This show was possibly the most rock n roll one we have ever played. There was a stage invasion, and someone tried to steal the melody horn. Someone suceeded in stealing the glock beater, and the korg was knocked over. The glock beater has been passed down for many generations in the Campesinos family, so I am asking the person who borrowed it to turn themselves in to their nearest police station before things get ugly. Yep. Alek is Russian, Tom is Italian and between them they can summon enough mafia to make you feel very uncomfortable.

To add to the Rock n Rollness of the evening Harriet and Ellen thought it would be appropriate to don their best bread hats as they headed to the aftershow DJ set which we all did just down the road from the gig. An exclusive album track was played much to everyones apathy, and the classic “Gravel Pit” by the Wu-Tang clan was pulled out. Gareth played M.I.A like 8 times.

To make everyone leave he had to play the most requested song of the night, which was deemed some Pixies song, and was counted by a show of hands from the eight people remaining.

and that is a runthrough of all our adventures so far. we’ll keep you updated. lots of love and hugs, ellen and aleks and the rest of LC!

[esorydoolb]

wait why am I posting about this Muse band again? idk, I’ve been listening to rock music again lately and new songs coincidentally means they’ve been on my mind and I needed to get those thoughts out sooo here goes ….

I’ve been trying really hard to hate the new direction of their music I’m not gonna lie. I think that anything they released after T2L has been a beginning spiral downwards musically. If an album has more than 2 pop songs on it, it’s arguably a sign for me to turn it off. Is it a matter of musical taste? Probably, but man I listen to a variety of music and if I find something I like about it, I don’t care how electronic it sounds!

Disclaimer while I am a musician myself, I don’t really know much about music theory and composing so I kind of, you know, judge based on my intuition. I love it when their music does something new, experimental and creative, but I also think it loses some of their authenticity when Muse try to sound entirely different from usual. I think that’s quite normal… But man, the typical “Muse sound”, that people like to point out persists in all of their music, sounds more like a stale copy of themselves to me. There’s something about their new music that just doesn’t do it for me anymore. I notice that it lacks the passion of the old Muse.

As an afterthought, I think it became quite obvious to me that their new music kind of leaves me cold and unimpressed during their Simulation Theory tour. I was literally rocking my socks off during Plug in Baby, Uprising, etc. and two minutes later, Mercy and Dig Down came on and I was watching with a kinda bitter smile how people lost their shit at the confetti show. Haha look at them having fun, why do I feel so out of place right now. And I stress that I don’t believe it’s because of the different style of music. (I really enjoy the uplifting tone of Defector for example.)

So about their new songs. There’s so much going on there and at the same time, I don’t particularly remember any of it. Initially, I was quite impressed by the direction of WSD, I mean wow they really handled those heavy vocals and riffs. But it’s like Matt said ‘Hey look at the fun stuff I can do, let’s use some of that on the new album’ (and maybe cater to some type of audience simultaneously who knows) instead of saying: this is the new sound I came up with, take it or hate it, it’s mine now. I talked about authenticity before, the kind of raw quality that cannot be produced by messing about in the studio. At least that’s the kind of signals I’m getting, I’m sure it isn’t intentional.

I still think that Compliance is a “good” song, and Muse are decidedly good at producing solid tracks, however what I’m trying to say is that they’re not writing music, fantastic music that completely hooks me and pulls me in and puts me in awe. What’s with using the same simple chord progression for four minutes straight, hardly any range in the vocals to grab onto, no musical or even thematic progression, the lyrics all sound the same, … Yeah, it’s pretty easy to listen to, and it’s the same kind of easy that leaves me quite emotionless and vaguely nodding along to the beat.

Not every track has to be a masterpiece. (Well, with knowing Muse, there’s a certain incredibly high expectation haha) Musicians are known to lose some of their inspiration over time, I absolutely don’t blame them. Still, I felt like writing down my opinion (which has been bothering me) and maybe consider it as a piece of music review for the archives or whatever, and I’m looking forward to watch and observe what they come up next.
