I’d actually never heard REM or the B-52s in Georgia; they were far too Queer or liberal to get airplay there. So of course one of the first things I checked out was Automatic for the People, which made me an instant fan.

Rollins Band, Tori Amos, The Kinks, The Mamas and the Papas, The Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, The Beatles, The Shirelles...

I still remember the first time I heard RAtM; I couldn’t believe you could sing/yell about this stuff.

And *then* I discovered punk and old school Goth stuff.

Fellow students making awkward small talk would ask where I came from, and usually followed up with “you don’t have an accent” or “do you like REM?” I’d want to be obliging and would say yes...

My Dad couldn’t see why I might want or need my own way to play music or listen to anything he wasn’t interested in, and my Mom didn’t care. So I missed anything in the 80s that didn’t make it to top 40s locally.

I got to explore music more after I got to college, and I’ve tried to explore since. The Oldies station was the only station which came in anywhere in town so a mix of 50s, 60s and 90s pop is what I grew up on. STP, RHCP, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, RAtM...

Ugh, feeling weepy at work. Just the ongoing feelings of burnout meets mid afternoon circadian crash. 2 hours and it’ll be much better.

All it took was 5 hours of doing this stuff and one All Them Witches album to make me want to get out of here, head towards mountains and forests.

Good morning Mastodon! I have a little time to draw before work, and kinda feel bad right now. #tmituesday, anyone?

This is my blessing. This is my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider Man!

something from a conversation with @Earthshine earlier today;

the Night Witches would make for an awesome video game. You'd get WWII and gender representation, but also the entire game would hang on timing when to cut engines for completely silent bombing runs.

Today I realized I really don’t draw animals well at all and went through a batch of paper trying to improve, here’s some of it. #drawings

I'm worst at what I do best
and for this gift I feel blessed
it's hard to bar gargle zouf
with all these marbles in my mouth
now we don't sound like Madonna
here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
buy our album, we're Nirvana
a garage band from Seattle
a mosquito, my libido, yeah.

INSTRUMENTAL!

A dumb #dnd quibble; the evil elemental earth cult is the Cult of the Black Earth.

But “the land of the black earth” here is KMT. Not only is it kinda not cool to have one more evil thing be “black,” but to Egyptians evil was associated with “The Red Land.” 5e defaults to the Realms and the Mulhorandi are basically Kemetics, so why not make ‘em a Red Earth cult?

Idk, everyone’s all “Boba Fett!” but I think a Bossk movie would be awesomer.

They should make a movie with Brad Pitt as a Frankenstein monster like reanimated creature with fasteners under his arms so he’d have pit brads.

So this place has “little burritos” but “burrito” is already a diminutive, how do you make that smaller, you could do that in Yiddish as “burritele,” but afaik Mexico isn’t a Yiddish speaking country. Also at some level isn’t a small enough burrito a taquito anyway?

the small town of Huevos Nuevos, CA

ugh, why is everything awful?

they asked themselves, immediately using more nuanced interpretations about "it just feels this way" and "maybe you should go somewhere you feel less hypervigilant" to beat themselves up, which is kinda the exact opposite of what a more nuanced analysis could get you.

wow, I wish I had HOT LATEX OUTFITS to wear, and also some clue about how to maintain HOT LATEX OUTFITS, and also events to go to where HOT LATEX OUTFITS would be apropos and also enough bravery to go to one.

the only time I've ever used a Hitachi Magic Wand, I borrowed an ex-girlfriend's and used it on my ankles, which were really sore at the time, and it felt SO FUCKING GOOD.

Suggest that Paris has a sewer system entirely for use as a plot point, and any civil engineering uses are a nice extra.
