Les Muses: La Musique by Paul Gavarni, 1839.
Slightly obsessed with this because she is listening to a mechanical device producing music—a real 1830s boom box!
It's a hand-cranked barrel organ, of course, but still small enough to be held in her lap!
This c. 1830 barrel organ sold at auction plays eight songs!
Another barrel organ made c. 1835 is described as playing "four dance sections." Given the focus on social dancing at the time, and the need for dance instruction, I wonder if something like this small barrel organ was the sound system for dancing classes.
Illustration from an 1830s French social dance manual (Victoria & Albert Museum).

Instant Band Night 27 is in TWO WEEKS
Are you in the San Francisco Bay? Maybe? Do you know anyone who lives there? Probably?? Wanna just reblog this and help out???
You can probably guess what happens at Instant Band Night, but here's how it goes:
The stage has a drum kit, guitar, bass, keyboard, and mics
We draw names out of hats to make instant bands that get 5 minutes in the green room to plan a 5-minute set. That's usually one (1) song
A hat-drawn artist will draw the band's gig poster on a meeting room easel pad while they play
The first rule of Instant Band Night is: 👏 YOU 👏 DON'T 👏 HAVE 👏 TO 👏 PLAY 👏 AN 👏 INSTRUMENT 👏 TO 👏 ATTEND 👏
Every show needs an audience! You can be part of it!
The second rule of Instant Band Night is: We guarantee you (the audience) an astonishingly excellent time
You'll see something you've never seen before every 5 minutes, it's gonna be great
The third rule of Instant Band Night is: Bring a friend or three!
July 11 2024
ALL DETAILS HERE (INCLUDES A VERY GOOD FAQ)
Come play or watch!!! Can't do either? Reblog!!
I've Blazed posts about the previous Instant Band Nights and a few people actually showed up who were either from Tumblr directly or got sent by friends who were, so I'm just going to keep doing it
If you want to hear about future Instant Band Nights, you can add yourself to the email list here!

"Mikey from My Chemical Romance and I always say that the reason that My Chemical Romance and Thursday are so good now, both so much better than we ever used to be as live bands, is because this is all after death. The bands both stopped -- this is all bonus time, and so it all should be like a celebration every time. And that has made it great. Not feeling like we have so much to prove like we did back then."
Geoff Rickly in an interview for WNYU (2/19/2023)

When Vessel said "But I'll be full of the love you want, no matter what, forevermore", and "With my love as your garden, won't you fall for me? I am yours in the end so won't you fall for me", and "Pull me beneath the surface, deep into your love", and, "I am certain you and I are crashing course, driven by a holy force", and "Will you levitate? Up where my love doesn't matter? Where I won't reach you?", and "I'd turn my walls to gold to bring you home again", and "I'm still your favourite regret, you're still my weapon of choosing", and "I'm losing my faith in our lives apart", and "And we go beyond the farthest reaches", and "Well I believe, somewhere in the past, something was between you and I, my dear", and "In turning divine, we tangle endlessly like lovers entwined", and-
