"-but you don't have gills, right? How long can you hold your breath?"
"For about fifteen minutes, I've been told. Depends on how much I'm moving. My turn to ask! Who is that man with wires on his head?"
Tumblr media
Eh, shit. How very like Chase to fail to mention that they met. "A local robotics engineer I'm aiding with an AI project. Just a hobby."
"I thought he's your friend-"
"He's not. My turn. How old are you?"
Tumblr media
"Hmm... still young, even among your kind."
"Aw. A sensitive topic?"
"Tch. Not at all! I'm just not sure. I've lived on the surface for most of my life but I've been in the deep, too. Clocks and calendars don't work well underwater so it's hard to keep track-"
"Riiight. A few years here and there."
"My father thinks the mass of the water bends time, somehow."
"An interesting theory. Does he have proof?"
"We ain't physicists. But some mersims down there... they're not like my family is. They sing of things that happened a century ago."

Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs – Go Rest High On That Mountain (Live)
+
I know your life On earth was troubled And only you could know the pain You weren't afraid to face the devil You were no stranger to the rain
Go rest high on that mountain Son your work on earth is done Go to heaven a-shoutin' Love for the Father and the Son
Oh, how we cried the day you left us We gathered 'round your grave to grieve Wish I could see the angels faces When they hear your sweet voice sing
Go rest high on that mountain Son your work on earth is done Go to heaven a-shoutin' Love for the Father and the Son
Go rest high on that mountain Son your work on earth is done Go to heaven a-shoutin' Love for the Father and the Son
Go to heaven a-shoutin' Love for the Father and the Son

Album Review: Michael Cleveland - Lovin’ of the Game
If respect can be measured by friendships, then Michael Cleveland is the Aretha Franklin of bluegrass.
The liner notes of Cleveland’s Lovin’ of the Game must’ve drained several ink jars for such bold-face names as the Travelin’ McCourys, Billy Strings, Vince Gill, Béla Fleck, Dan Tyminski, Charlie Starr, Tim O’ Brien and others who appear on various tracks when Cleveland isn’t jamming with his own band, Flame Keeper.
The guests are both the strength and relative weakness of the Game. For while the playing is beyond reproach, the diversity of players makes for a lack of cohesion as the album zigs across the jamgrass of “For Your Love” (Strings) before zagging to the country waltz of Gill’s “I Wish I Knew Now What I Knew Then” and the clichéd, new-country balladry of Starr’s re-recording of Blackberry Smoke’s “One Horse Town.”
On Lovin’ of the Game, the hottest tracks are instrumentals like “Thousand Dollar Holler” and “Contact,” with Fleck, Barry Bales and Cody Kilby.
At the center of it all is Cleveland, the blind, partially deaf fiddler who never fails to heat up any collaboration in which he’s involved.
Grade card: Michael Cleveland - Lovin’ of the Game - B

Second City Firsts: Girl (BBC, 1974)
"Listen, the first week I was here, I slept with the company sergeant major."
"But she's old, she's awful!"
"That was four years ago."
"But still, old Jackson? God, she's like a monkey."
"Yeah."
"I just don't know how you could."
"Oh, I enjoyed it. It was a thrill the next morning, when she marched on parade. Waiting for the look that might or might not pass between us, seeing straight through her immaculate BD blouse. Knowing her in weakness - and then in strength."
#second city firsts#girl#single play#queer tv#1974#classic tv#bbc#james robson#peter gill#myra frances#alison steadman#eileen mccallum#stella moray#barry hanson#tara prem#if nothing else ever came of the bbc centenary celebrations‚ i would remain forever grateful for the opportunity to see this single play#an immeasurably important piece of british tv history; mostly known (if known at all) as featuring almost certainly the first kiss between#women on uk tv (although debatable‚ but this is certainly the first undeniably romantic kiss between two wlw in specific context) but this#is much more than the kiss. more or less a two hander between a young Steadman and the late Myra Frances‚ as the young trainee soldier#about to leave the force and her superior officer and former lover; lesbians had appeared on british tv earlier‚ but often shrouded in#euphemism (Public Eye) or tinged with a sense of sorrow‚ shame or pity (The Main Chance and others). this is the first depiction of wlw in#old tv that is not only direct‚ it's brash‚ defiant‚ perhaps brave even. Frances (in an absolutely brilliant performance) has no need for#shame or for repression: she's a self described dyke‚ who speaks variously of her pride in her conquests‚ her distaste for men and for#heterosexuality‚ particularly in patriarchal ideas of homemaking and 'traditional' family units. she describes the army as the natural#place for her ('All girls together' she says‚ dripping with.. what? sarcasm? irony?). there's more at play here too: the disparity in age#and experience between the two women‚ the power imbalance in their respective ranks‚ but it's all written so beautifully‚ so delicately. in#a little more than 25 minutes the two (Frances in particular) create a snapshot of something so very real and human and honest and yet#largely unseen (then and to some degree still)... the kiss when it comes is almost astonishing in its passion and its realness. no delicate#blocking or hesitant peck; it's a lovers kiss‚ and it says more about the characters and their situation than dialogue ever could#a genuinely astonishing and deeply important piece of tv history. if you have iplayer access i cannot recommend enough that you watch this

Alison, taking the ghosts to London: Now all you stay close. I know a lot of you aren't used to being out in the city so be careful who you talk to.
Pat: Don't worry, Alison, we're not children.
Alison: Where's Robin?!
Robin, talking to an organ harvester: Now you mention it, have always wanted to breathe underwater. I buy gills.
Salesman: So you won't need lungs anymore?
Robin: Can't imagine why.
Salesman, taking out knife: Good. I take lungs now, gills come next week.
