I hear what you did there

Piano lesson has me playing “Faded” by Alan Walker. I try to look the song up to no avail until I realize I’ve auto-corrected myself to Alan Wilder.

@nulldevice.bsky.social gets it

Second (third?) time DJing with an active back spasm at Crucible tonight

Scene:
This Valentine’s Day, practicing piano alone at home, and my lesson moves to “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” by Elton John.
1) that’s such a good song
2) I realize this sounds like the saddest thing ever but… it wasn’t. Partner was off doing things she loves and so was I.

Fun fact:
You can play “Is It Cake” while watching Alejandro Jodorowsky’s seminal 1973 film The Holy Mountain. You’ll be wrong more than once.

Insula Iscariot

Impossible. I’ll always dance terribly. Or not at all. damn hips

“There’s merch available on the dryer”

At a house show. Basement show. The lights are on and they have the superb owl projected behind the artists.
I am the oldest person here by, conservatively, 15 years.
They had to stop the house’s washer and drier before the show because it might trip a fuse. Been there.

The first person paid to play American football:

Fuck ICE (but not this ice)

My night is Quickshow and Tiger Balm

As I make my way to Denver for Convergence27 the thought occurred:
Half of why I’m there is to shoot laser rainbows. There must be a non-zero number of goth songs where the villain is a guy who comes to a goth get together and shoots rainbows at them.
My super villain moment is here!

A group of evil supernatural musicians attempts to destroy a group of good vaguely supernatural musicians.
Sinners or KPop Demon Hunters?

Behold the floofs

Did you all hear about the straight pride festival in Idaho that drew tens of people and was crashed by an Army vet who sang a pro-trans song after lying about the lyrical content of his music?

Finished Expedition 33. Did… did I just play Belle Epoque Nier Automata?

They: “Isn’t my baby just the cutest?”
Me: “I’d prefer not holding an infant to modern society’s unrealistic beauty standards.”

“I feel like I’m watching a pansexual throuple who doesn’t believe in birds set all of their inside jokes to music”

“I wonder who there’s more of here: people with a vinyl collection but no record player, or people with a vintage record player but no vinyl”
“This may be the whitest thing I’ve ever seen and I’ve been to industrial festivals”

Thoughts I had while at the Charming Disaster show:
“Everyone in the crowd has been to New Orleans, but not as much as they claim”
“A non zero amount of people in this room have written erotic Alice in Wonderland fanfic”

Set two was fun

The set what I am playing tonight
