World of Hassle, Alan Palomo (2023)
Alan Palomo has perfected that unspecific American City Vice sound, his music shimmeringly superficial, dazzlingly nocturnal, snappily camp. His first work under his birth name is much more consistent than his old Neon Indian stuff – though potentially to a fault. World of Hassle has no pauses, no breaths, no blinks: its blare of pastiche and rollicking pace, when enjoyed all at once, can get a little tiring. Though make no mistake, take each of these cuts in isolation and they bounce like nothing else I’ve heard this year.
Pick: ‘Meutrière (feat. Flore Benguigui)’

[Album] Alan Palomo veröffentlicht Solo-Debütalbum "World of Hassle" am 15. September!
Alan Palomo, Musiker und Produzent hinter dem langjährigen Avant-Pop-Projekt Neon Indian, hat seine erste Veröffentlichung unter eigenem Namen angekündigt. Das Solo-Debütalbum "World of Hassle" wird am 15. September über Transgressive erscheinen.
Eigentlich sollte ein neues und viertes Neon Indian-Album erscheinen, an dem Palomo schon einige Skizzen ausgearbeitet hatte. Der selbst auferlegte kreative Arbeitsprozess erwies sich aber eher als Maulkorb und die Arbeit geriet nach einigen Wochen bereits ins Stocken. Ehe die Pandemie ausbrach, Deadlines verstrichen und der kreative Faden vorerst fallen gelassen wurde und dann endgültig ins Trudeln geriet. Palomo warf die angesammelten Skizzen und auch seinen Bandnamen über Bord und startete komplett bei null. "I said what I'd wanted to say with that project", erzählt der Texaner, der sich für die neuen Produktionen selber das Klavierspielen beibrachte und auch dadurch in unerwartete musikalische Richtungen gedrängt wurde.
"World of Hassle" ist ein lebendiges Album, das die Zuhörer*innen in eine leicht surreale Dimension voller Angst und Nostalgie entführt, in der Jazz-Funk und breitschultrige Claude-Montana-Anzüge nie aus der Mode gekommen sind und die Kälte des Kalten Krieges, die Leonard Cohens "I’m Your Man" durchdrungen hat, nie so ganz verschwunden ist. Die 13 Songs sind ein dichter, komplexer Ort, vollgepackt mit träumerisch-absurden Charakteren und Situationen - Guerilla-Freiheitskämpfer, die in "The Wailing Mall" in einem Regenwald-Café kampieren, traurige Ex-Popstars in "The Return of Mickey Milan" oder tropische Fantasien in "Nudista Mundial ’89 (feat. Mac DeMarco)".
youtube
Die spürbare Unruhe mit ihrer bunten Klangpalette ist dabei vollständig dem goldenen Zeitalter der 80er-Jahre entlehnt, als Rockstars wie Bryan Ferry und Sting als jazzige Solomusiker durchstarteten. Das Album ist eine Parodie auf die Egotrips dieser Koryphäen, den Größenwahn Amerikas und unsere eigene Selbstbesessenheit. Aber zwischendurch wird es ist auch todernst, wenn die Weltuntergangsuhr ihren Höchststand aus der Reagan-Ära überschritten hat und die Angst vor einem Atomkrieg genauso präsent ist, wie digitale Synthesizer und schrille Saxophonsoli. Je tiefer es einen in seine eigene unheimliche Realität hineinzieht, desto deutlicher wird allerdings auch, wie sehr eigentlich die Grenzen zwischen Alan Palomos Traumwelt und unserer eigenen mittlerweile verschwommen sind.
Tracklist "World of Hassle": 01. The Wailing Mall 02. Meutrière (feat. Flore Benguigui) 03. La Madrileña 04. Nudista Mundial ‘89 (feat. Mac DeMarco) 05. The Return of Mickey Milan 06. Stay-At-Home DJ 07. Club People 08. Alibi for Petra 09. Nobody’s Woman 10. Is There Nightlife After Death? 11. Big Night of Heartache 12. The Island Years 13. Trouble In Mind

My two greatest character flaws are that I'm cranky and lazy.
My third greatest character flaw is the acute lack of compassion for people who smuggle exotic animals (like a serval) into a country where they are illegal (like norway) because keeping one as a pet is 'their dream' and then throw a pity party when said animal is seized and at risk of euthanasia. I'm sorry pal but you did that.
#maybe your ~dream~ to have an animal shouldnt outweigh the health and safety of that animal#just a thought#i feel mostly the same abt people who import illegal dog breeds. regardless of whether i think the law is unfounded#or how hard it is to actually accurately manage#there is no way you went through the hassle of importing an apbt to norway without finding out its a banned breed. that is a choice you mad#so if you had to smuggle a baby african feline. across the goddamn border. only for the authorities to go#'hey. thats not allowed'#then those are the consequences of your actions and not a whole lot else#you can disagree with the rules in the world you live in but that doesnt make you exempt from them#sorry for the animal! the owner not so much.

It was surprisingly hard to develop a chibi style.
#world of warcraft#anduin wrynn#wrathion#wranduin#varian wrynn#LIKE theres a head to body ratio that cant be messed up and drawing the eyes wrong will make them look weird#And youve got to consider how to put detail in a small area and how to represent different body types its such a hassle#That said chibi styles are so fun to do and you can do fullbody work with (usually) slightly less work then an actual fullbody#so figuring out how your personal style is translated into chibi is so worth it#So this was me making a chibi style#but i drew these in 2021 so i should do a redraw or something#but i havnt drawn many chibis since so its probably not changed much

#my art#rain world#looks to the moon#no significant harassment#nsh x lttm#rw shipping#im gonna be more self indulgent this year and draw these two more often i heart them#also respectfully i'm not gonna be using the fun ship names the fanbase uses just cause they're a big hassle for me to memorize#i'd rather just put the characters names together yknow#<- guy who has memory issues and isn't extremely invested in shipping to that extent to begin with#you guys have fun with them though! some of the ones ive seen are really clever

the very CONCEPT of Gustavo being Peak Performance of gnomekind and then hooking up with someone EVEN BETTER is sending me. Imagine other gnomes just being like omgomg i wish i was as hot as gus oh my goodness. And then he pops up with (a reluctant) pep in tow like 'hi everyone!' and they lose their goddamn minds over how unbelievably SPICY HOT this anxious chef is. like GUS HOW DID YOU DO EVEN BETTER
YES EXACTLY lmao it seems very silly when u put it that way djsfkskfhdsfjkh but yes that is basically it. I even drew up examples of my own homebrew gnome designs to give u some perspective
Gus is like the best example of this; hes VERY strong (strong enough to tame a creature like Brick), good facial and body hair (which is the equivalent of my homebrew gnomes viewing thick and well groomed fur as very attractive), and hes got a very sturdy body shape (not fat, but fat would be included in this too; Peppino is proof of that)
So when they see Pep theyre like ! Hes even BIGGER and he can lift Gus with no fucking problem! Like he is EVERYTHING!!!
#answered#//#///#////#/////#bare chest#arts#mine#pepstavo#peppino#gustavo#using my own world as a reference is why i also keep giving gus these very loose fitting pants#he has normal legs but gnomes otherwise have little footsies; they look like satyrs#and trying to get fitting pants for something like that would be REALLY impractical unless you had leggings instead lmao#many of them also opt for wearing 'skirts' or robes bc its less of a hassle#ANYWAY#this is not about my headworld its about these guys#the idea that being manhandled would do things to Gus mentally (good) is so funny#like he probably NEVER experienced that until Peppino#but pep has No patience and he acts first thinks later when hes panicking#even when hes not panicking he just. does shit#like pick up gus to let him get things on shelves peppino cant reach#and then later in the tower escape; pick him up while trying to escape bc they need to GO and wo brick he doesnt know-#-if Gus can keep up#they eventually find brick but for a good 30 seconds Gus is being held like a little doll lmao#he totally does not internalize that in any way

I think a lot about the time I read this fic where it mentioned that Solar's joints would pop very loudly most of the time and how it would startle the other characters, and while it is plausible (if an endoskeleton wasn't always taken care of, damage to the joints could definitely be loud and pop like human bones), it made me wonder how fascinating it would be if it turned out that Solar had a vastly different internal build than the others in the cast and his endoskeleton could just Do That, yk?
Like, could you imagine Solar having to repair someone in the celestial family and just being like "what,, what is this. where are all your necessary parts? how are you functioning right now???" and when they ask what he means he just lists off several things that his body has and needs to function and they both just kinda have to stare at each other with different levels of "there is no damn way that's actually how you're built."
I just think it'd be fun idk LOL
#xero says things#READ AS: I THINK IT'D BE FUN IF SOMEONE HAD TO DO WORK ON SOLAR AND WHEN HE OPENS A FRONT PANEL INTO HIS CHEST-#-HIS ROBOTIC INSIDES MIMIC ACTUAL HUMAN INSIDES WITH A RIBCAGR AND WIRES THAT ARE LIKE VEINS AND MUSCLES AND SHIT LIKE THAT#I THINK IT WOULD BE FREAKISH AND ENRAPTURING AGSJWHSJWHDJDJF#I LOVE THE IDEA OF SOLAR HAVING INSANE ASS DIFFERNCES ABOUT HIS WORLD OR HIS BODY. ITS SO FUN 2 ME LOL#sun and moon show#the sun and moon show#tsams#sams solar#xero thoughts and rambles#< I FORGOR I HAD THAT TAG. maybe i should make it shorter so its not such a hassle 2 type..... oh well#solar

here be dragons
My nephew went to a sleep away camp and marched in some parade and now he’s a sailor. Something like that. I’m not going to pretend I understand how one goes about joining the navy.
I was right a couple months ago when I said the concerts in October would heal me. I’m running on not enough sleep and things at work aren’t ideal and [unnamed other things that I’m not super jazzed about], but I’m rolling with it. Tired, but good.
""Stealing the election""
I set my camera to shoot raw+jpeg for Griff last night and the processed raws turned out so much better than the jpegs and I hate it because I reallllly don’t want to get back into dealing with raws.
No book this week, but to follow up on Somewhere Beyond the Sea from the tags last week: it’s fine. If you loved The House in the Cerulean Sea, you’ll probably like Beyond the Sea. The dedication at the front of the book gave the story a very specific framing that made me think of terrible real world stuff whenever the villains joined the plot, instead of letting me stay in-world to interpret the allegory on my own terms, and I didn’t love that. (But that could just be a me thing.) It goes a little harder than it needs to on its key messages, but that’s the author’s prerogative, I suppose. Maybe not quite as whimsical as the first book, but the kids and their adventures get plenty of time, and I’m not mad that I read it. -1 star for my grievances and -½ star for some bad (but minor) production decisions on the audiobook.
#it’s Friday somewhere#I tried to pick him out in the livestream but couldn’t find a dude with shaggy hair#and they were all wearing 50s diner hats and matching uniforms#(I jest but I’m really proud of him for this)#tonight’s heretical tag is:#I don’t like being at the barricade for concerts#I happily gave up my spot last night to a couple short folk for a spot in the 2nd row where I could actually dance a bit and it was great#now if I could tick a box somewhere to turn off all the political ads that'd be rad#the detail in the processed raws doesn't really translate to social media#but I look at the originals#and I like knowing the detail is there#but processing raws is a time consuming hassle#i stg adobe is on a mission to banish shadows from the world#tried to be lazy and hit the auto button and every time camera raw was like +2.3 exposure +80 shadows here's your masterpiece! and like. no

[Album+Video] Alan Palomo mit Solo-Debütalbum!
Alan Palomo, der Musiker und Produzent hinter dem langjährigen Avant-Pop-Projekt Neon Indian, hat soeben seine erste Veröffentlichung unter eigenem Namen angekündigt. Sein Solo-Debütalbum "World of Hassle" wird am 15. September über Transgressive erscheinen und ist ein lebendiges Stück Weltenbau, das die Zuhörer*innen in eine leicht surreale Taschendimension voller Angst und Nostalgie entführt, in der Jazz-Funk und breitschultrige Claude-Montana-Anzüge nie aus der Mode gekommen sind und die Kälte des Kalten Krieges, die Leonard Cohens I'm Your Man durchdrungen hat, nie verschwunden ist. World of Hassle ist ein dichter, komplexer Ort, vollgepackt mit träumerisch-absurden Charakteren und Situationen - Guerilla-Freiheitskämpfer, die in "The Wailing Mall" in einem Regenwald-Café kampieren, ein zerbröckelnder Ex-Popstar in "The Return of Mickey Milan" oder die Leisure Suit Larry goes Ibiza-Fantasie von "Nudista Mundial '89" (mit Mac DeMarco).

Die Ankündigung wird begleitet von der Veröffentlichung der neuen Single "Stay-At-Home DJ", einem jazzigen Stück Synthie-Pop mit Elektro-Funk-Einschlag, das zusammen mit einem animierten Visualizer von Robert Beatty, dem Art Director des Albums, veröffentlicht wird. "Dies ist der Song, mit dem die ganze Unterhaltung begann", erinnert sich Palomo. "Mein Bruder und ich schrieben ihn 2019 und spielten ihn auf der letzten Neon Indian-Tour. Er signalisierte eine Richtungsänderung, nach der ich gesucht hatte, aber noch nicht wirklich wusste, was ich damit anfangen sollte. Als sich die Dinge während der Pandemie verlangsamten, habe ich ihn entstaubt und aus seinen unkontrollierbaren Auswüchsen entstand World of Hassle."
Tracklist “World of Hassle”:
01. The Wailing Mall 02. Meutrière (feat. Flore Benguigui) 03. La Madrileña 04. Nudista Mundial ‘89 (feat. Mac DeMarco) 05. The Return of Mickey Milan 06. Stay-At-Home DJ 07. Club People 08. Alibi for Petra 09. Nobody’s Woman 10. Is There Nightlife After Death? 11. Big Night of Heartache 12. The Island Years 13. Trouble In Mind
