Fancy some Ethiopian and Middle Eastern-inspired jazz made with heaps of garbage. Belgian junk jazz trio schroothoop, explores the vast sounds of discarded objects found on Brussels Macadam streets. Their unique music style incorporates found objects such as wooden crates, PVC pipes, scrap metal, and other street debris. Through the imaginative use of these items, MACADAM is a place where the forgotten can live and breathe. It is also where you can discover beauty in the abandoned and overlooked. Unique, individual and highly original.

Just remember this idea I had for a fic where Steve’s dad worked in marketing and made jiggles for commercials so they had a full music studio in their house.

The local music store had a section where local artists can sell cassettes. It’s mostly poorly recorded country music from The Hideout’s open mic night, but Corroded Coffin is there too. Eddie practically stalks the shelf to see if anyone buys their music. No one ever does (except for Gareth’s mom).

Then one day, Eddie goes into the shop after work to see if any of CC’s stock is gone, and sees a new tape there. No artist name. No song titles. Just a slip of paper stuck into the case with a hand drawn rose on it.

Eddie buys it and even though it’s not his typical type of music, falls absolutely in love with the voice on the tape. He loves the music. The production quality. The way sadness seeps into every corner of side A and B.

He goes back to the record shop and asks who left the tape, but the employee has no idea. They think someone just stuck it there without permission and have no idea who they’re supposed to pay for the sale.

Two more tapes show up over the next month with a different drawn flower on it, each sadder than the last. The artist is clearly going through something. Eddie still has no idea who they are and is now stalking the shelf not just to see if his own music is selling (it’s not).

He’s in full investigation mode and it’s annoying all of his friends. He needs to know who this person is because he’s a little in love with them and also a little worried about them. It’s really sad music.

Meanwhile, Steve is just trying to process the end of his relationship with Nancy in the only way he can think of.

Q: Why am I always drawing this idiot playing the guitar when I know for a fact I am not good at drawing guitars?!

A: Because I am an even bigger idiot.

Third baby blanket of the week done! It’s not my favorite fabric combo but it’s the fabric I had in my stash and it’s going to be a day or two until I can get to the store. They are both florals!

I did manage to (mostly) remember to time myself when making this one, and it takes about 45 minutes to an hour to make one of these baby blankets

Musicians Who Recycle Trash Into Playable Instruments

[waugh-bao]

“I don’t want to start complaining about pop music. It’s always been rubbish. I mean, that’s the point of it. They make it as cheap and as easy as possible and therefore it always sounds the same; there’s very little feel in it. I like to hear music by people playing instruments. That is, I don’t like to hear plastic synthesized Muzak, as it used to be known, what you hear in ­elevators, which is now the par for the course.”

if you dont mind sharing, what are some of your favorite ska songs/bands?

I will admit I am not a huge band person I tend to be more of a "pick whatever random songs sound good" person, so I can't recommend any good bands. I also listen to Ska Punk, which is a subgenre of Ska... and Punk. So I am not a good authority on Ska songs to listen to I am just someone who is banned from being passed the aux cord...

But some of my favorite songs include:

No Children - Ska (cover)

Quinto Patio Ska

Everything Went Numb

S F D D

And songs by Reel Big Fish tbh. I know I just said I don't listen to specific bands but Reel Big Fish has some pretty good songs like...

Sell Out

And their Take on Me cover

Here's my disclaimer, though: I am not into music subcultures I just listen to whatever sounds good (and jazzy punk with horns sounds good), so I could be giving absolutely awful music recommendations that anyone who is especially into Ska (and more specifically Ska Punk) might find egregious. I personally just grab whatever song sounds good and add them to my forever long playlist.

Also the Jabberjaw (Running Underwater) song from Pain used for the Cartoon Network Boomerang Groovies is probably the reason I enjoy Ska punk so much, and it has been in my playlist for years now:

If nothing else in this list interests you, I require everyone by law to listen to Jabberjaw Running Under Water by pain and watch the Cartoon Network Boomerang Groovie video of it. I used to watch Boomerang a million times, and this was probably the only Groovie I really enjoyed watching and didn't go to the bathroom during.

[sk1fanfiction]

you heard it from me, Voldemort reads The Quibbler:

Narcissa cast her eyes aside, then pressed her lips together. "I believe it went over well, for the most part. Aside from Xenophilius Lovegood." "Hmm. The Quibbler editor and publisher. What did he have to say for himself?" Surprise crossed Narcissa's face; Voldemort wondered why. After all, he was not able to spend time in public unless he was in disguise, which he loathed, so he spent a good deal of time these days reading newspapers and magazines to amuse himself, even the ones that weren't worth the paper they were printed on.
