Song Review: The Infamous Stringdusters feat. Anders Osborne - “Those Lonely, Lonely Nights”

The Infamous Stringdusters and Anders Osborne added some ’grass, but took away none of blue on their cover of “Those Lonely, Lonely Nights.”

It’s a slow-roller played on instruments made for fast-pickin’. But incongruities must be damned when these divergent artists cross-pollinate and combine dichotomous genres into something new.

With Osborne on vocals and the ’Dusters popping in with Dobro, fiddle, acoustic guitar and banjo solos, the track honors Earl King’s original, Osborne’s iconoclastic roots and the band’s string tradition.

Covering all the bases is one thing. Doing it without leaving home is another. And the way Osborne smacks the song out of the park with the mic stand is yet another.

It's way funnier to me to imagine that Geralt is the one who desperately wants Dandelion to winter at Kaer Morhen with him but Dandelion keeps saying no on the simple grounds that it's too fucking cold and do you want me to die Geralt? Do you want me to get hypothermia and fucking die?

And Geralt's like "please I am begging on my knees I will cuddle you every night to keep you warm I just need to prove you actually exist"

I find it sad, pathetic, funny and cute in that cartoon network is airing the old man and his seat two times tonight in a row. All I do is sit around the house and get drunk and cry-I would never waste my precious free time watching Cartoon Network, but I happened upon the schedule for the night and I think it's funny, silly, in a really pathetic way that it feels like Rick has the same drunk sad drunk soulfully loveless aimless energy as much as I do, just sitting on a TV screen instead of real life

wait a fucking second sci, I'm rereading okay. And in 2019 you answered an ask if Wade had ever chopped his dick off and thrown it at someone, Wade said missed opportunity, which means that he did. But in the caption for that you said "the least two asks are related" BUT THE ASK BEFORE WAS 'IS WADE RIBBED FOR YOUR PLEASURE' SO, LIKE, HAS WADE CHOPPED HIS DICK OFF AND FUCKED HIMSELF WITH IT? IS THAT WHAT THAT MEANS? I'M SO CONFUSED ABOUT THIS. BECAUSE LIKE... WHY WOULD THEY BE RELATED IF NOT FOR THAT? WHAT DID WADE DO????

you mean here?

i did mean that the "common thread" was that they're both asks about wade's dick. and i genuinely think not even wade wilson is messed up enough to fuck himself with his own dismembered dick. not unless it was clone nonsense, in which case he absolutely would.

i think he knows enough about biology to know that it wouldn't work, anyway. but i think he might've gone to one of those companies that make a mould of your dick and make a toy out of it. he'd do that. he'd do that and order multiples. one for himself, one for nate, one for peter, one for logan – in fact, he'd hand them out in goody bags for everyone who attends wade and peter's bachelor party. and in that case, he's probably made one from peter's dick too.

peter asks how wade managed to get a cast of his dick. wade says he knows it so well he sculpted it from memory.

this is simultaneously horrifying and insanely romantic to peter. peter, knowing himself very well, commends wade for his attention to detail. they kiss about it. and peter feels less weird about it knowing that it isn't actually his dick, but a loving tribute.

last night a guy actually put his hand on my shoulder blade (i was wearing a suit) and told me ‘petite’ in an acknowledging, slightly praising voice, looking at me expectantly, as if I was now supposed to swoon over this outstanding ‘compliment’. i raised a single eyebrow. he then told me I shouldn’t be ‘so cold’. i turned to my friend and told her what he said and she said ‘he did not’ and I said ‘he did’ and he still could not fathom all night why I wasn’t interested

like we are on our nine billionth positivity post for cis men with beards and masculine trans men and feminine lesbians and bi people in m/f relationships and nb people who are comfortable passing as their agab etc.... do we need more? is straight people not being able to tell you're gay/trans really the biggest issue facing lgbt people right now?

there seems to be this undiminishable reservoir of care and sympathy for the very idea of having ur queerness slighted in any context. meanwhile people who never get the choice whether or not to hide it are routinely dehumanised, othered, and ignored. if the issues facing these groups do get discussed it's almost never with much concern for their feelings. invalidation and erasure may be one of the issues facing lgbt people and it deserves attention too but I really don't think you can claim at this point that it isn't getting its fair share already.

for what it's worth, even your hypothetical most flaming butch lesbian/fem gay man/androgynous nb person etc still meets people who assume they're cishet, who even actively refuse to acknowledge that they're not. the false equivalence between erasure and overt prejudice alleged exclusively by those who largely experience only the former is in fact erasing the reality of people who experience both

ended up crashing at my parents' last night after the concert and though my dad was kinda grumpy picking me up from the bart station he got over it by morning and came to cuddle my legs in the morning and my mom tried to get me to take and read this massive investing book again and she showed me the horrifying shape that she had carved a block of parm into!!

My high school did a yearly poetry recitation contest (Poetry Out Loud), so Oh Boy do I know some poems. My favorites are Ozymandias and "the world is about to end and my grandparents are in love," by Kara Jackson. Also in 8th grade we had a Poe unit and had a class contest to make the best music video of the Raven, so I still know a good chunk of that.

i hadn't heard of the kara jackson one! just read through it and enjoyed it, particularly these lines > 'grandma returns to her love like a hymn, marks it with a color. // when the world ends will it suck the earth of all its love? /will i go taking somebody’s hand, / my skin becoming their skin?'

responses to rehearse bc i'm seeing my grandparents tomorrow and they have a tendency to ask weird questions about the whole trans thing:

that's a personal question

that isn't your business

that's a weird thing to ask

you don't need to know that

i never said that

i don't know why you think that

maybe I'm comfortable with tumblr because I get to say things I don't usually tell anyone
