When people get a little too gung-ho about-

wait. cancel post. gung-ho cannot be English. where did that phrase come from? China?

ok, yes. gōnghé, which is…an abbreviation for “industrial cooperative”? Like it was just a term for a worker-run organization? A specific U.S. marine stationed in China interpreted it as a motivational slogan about teamwork, and as a commander he got his whole battalion using it, and other U.S. marines found those guys so exhausting that it migrated into English slang with the meaning “overly enthusiastic”.

That’s…wild. What was I talking about?

this is the universal experience and the bears boys are right to say it. the Major Record Label deal is almost always:

we'll give you money to make an album and tour! and in return we'll take most of your money forever!

and people sign up because either 1) they don't understand what they're signing up for, or more likely 2) this is the only way they'll ever make a record and go on tour

the thing is, if you're capable of funding your own records and touring then record labels have very very little to offer you. you're paying for the prestige of being on a label and the connections it gives, and you're paying for it with your life's work

one of my friends signed with UMG around 2007. his band made their album with a big name producer, and then they were told not to play any shows until the album release date was announced. they waited to be told when their album would be released. and they waited. and they waited.

the record label decided not to release their album. they were contractually prevented from playing shows until their label dropped them a year later. by the time they could legally play shows again their momentum had died and their fanbase had drifted off. the band didn't even have the rights to release the album themselves.

last year i found the album on an old hard drive so i messaged my friend about it. not only did he not have a copy of it, none of the band did. they literally didn't own a single copy of a year's worth of work between them.

it broke my heart.

we rejected a major label offer.

this is why.

our new album, how to build an ocean instructions, is out everywhere as of today.

listen to it here.

i am by no means anti drug, but cocaine has just straight up no redeeming qualities

ice cold take here:

it weirds me out how normalised cocaine has become. that there are coke jokes in popular media where there used to be weed jokes.

cocaine as a drug sucks and everyone on cocaine sucks to be around. fight me about it 💜

I know this is somewhat out of the blue, but I was reading recent laws while listening to your music on Bandcamp, as I find myself doing more and more often nowadays as I take more classes dealing with ethnic and queer theory, and specifically was reading the exact wording of the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) in the US while cognitive dissonance blues was playing.

It is crazy how even 4 years ago, anyone who was paying close enough attention could tell what every capitalist government wanted to do. Your line about the governments of the world looking nervously and desperately trying to shotgun blast the Internet, exactly what KOSA is. Exactly what the tiktok ban is. Every year I see more and more how much the US government is fearful of the spread of free thoughts and actions, and I desperately hope that's not a trend that continues across the pond. Don't really know what I mean by this, but good music man, the world can suck sometimes but as long as we are here together as fellow humans, I think it's still worth quite a bit, and I think with enough work and effort hopefully things will change.

i didn't exactly cassandra this, but it doesn't surprise me

reblogging so i have this to refer back to as we move firmly into Brennan I Can't Untangle Your Extraordinarily Complex Plotting part of the season

Ok here's an updated timeline of the Rat Grinders based on the new info we got this episode:

Freshman Year

On the first day of classes Kipperlily and the others meet and form their adventuring party. Kipperlily comes up with the name the High Five Heroes.

Kipperlily excels academically, but the High Five Heroes only go on easier adventures, presumably to ensure they will succeed rather than fail at something challenging.

Ruben is primarily an acoustic/soft rock musician.

Kipperlily begins to have childish rage and resentment towards Riz and the other Bad Kids, which start out petty but gradually grow in intensity over the next couple years.

Sophomore Year

An increase in hostility, one of the first meetings Kipperlily has this year is being jealous that Riz's dad was killed by Kalvaxus, that if a person has suffered immense magical hardship it is an unfair advantage in adventuring.

Kipperlily tries to find evidence of conspiracy with her parents and is enraged that they are boring.

A week after spring break the High Five Heroes go on their first quest to the mountains of chaos, chaperoned by Jace Stardiamond.

After this, the High Five Heroes seem to undergo a shift where their rage is amplified. Kipperlily's counselor files become much more venomous towards the Bad Kids, Ruben shifts to emo music, etc.

At some point after this Ivy and Oisin propose changing the name to the Rat Grinders. Kipperlily opposes this and Lucy is on her side, but Ruben votes against her because it makes her upset and Mary Ann also votes against her but doesn't explain her reasoning.

A piece of paperwork is submitted for Lucy to change her god, but another piece of paperwork is filed afterwards rescinding that application, presumably by Lucy herself changing her mind.

Towards the end of the year, after grades are finalized but before classes are over thus avoiding the pass/fail penalty, Lucy dies in the far haven woods near Aguefort. Presumably, she could have been resurrected in service of this unnamed rage god, but chose not to. She "stuck to her guns".

Kipperlily's rage towards the Bad Kids has transitioned from childish to venomous, she "hates them".

Junior Year

At some point between the end of Sophomore year and the beginning of Junior year, the Rat Grinders specifically request Buddy Dawn join their party as a cleric.

At 8:01 am, the first day of classes, Kipperlily goes to Ashgrove to dig up the rogue teacher's grave, thus forcing her to reveal herself and granting Kipperlily a pass for all her rogue classes for the year. Presumably she was aware of the rogue teacher's grave beforehand (information only available in Arthur Aguefort's office) but waited until the start of Junior year so she could pass all her classes for the year.

Kipperlily announces her bid to run for student council president, with a platform based on equity, equanimity, and fairness.

Kipperlily asks Jawbone about the creation of Yes! and the events of prompocalypse

Her counselor notes become extremely enraged, with her straight up wanting to kill Kristin and being angry that she can't get to her thanks to Fig's protection.

Oisin, Ivy, and Buddy are seen at Fabian's house party during the first week of classes. Kipperlily is not seen but is possibly there invisible. The Bad Kids are asked to do drugs but decline. That same night, mephits steal part of a cloud rider engine kept in Seacaster Manor.

At the school assembly the following day Principal Grix reveals he was notified of students doing drugs off campus, meaning its possible the Rat Grinders tipped him off in an attempt to get the Bad Kids in trouble.

Ruben performs presumably some kind of ritual at the Frosty Fair Folk festival, with the other Rat Grinders conspicuously absent. Simultaneously, Yolanda Badgood falls dead in the same place where Lucy Frostblade died, after Yolanda had been made aware of Lucy's change in god and was investigating it. Yolanda also refuses to be resurrected in service of the rage god.

The Rat Grinders are seen at the assembly addressing Yolanda's death and how all clerics would be moved to pass/fail. Most look bored, Mary Ann isn't paying attention, and Buddy is unconcerned.

Kipperlily and Oisin get caught trying to sabotage the Bad Kids' Last Stand exam, and Kipperlily kills Buddy. Ten minutes after the Bad Kids plane shift away, Buddy is revived by an unknown figure and he pledges his allegiance to the rage god.

Now the Rat Grinders are scheduled for another trip to the Mountains of Chaos and are on complete lockdown, hiding all of them from Adaine's divination magic.
