and at the end of the day, people will still hate women.

because beyonce is a terrible songwriter who has a good body and nothing more and she's really nothing compared to olivia rodrigo, that stuck-up bitch who steals other people's music, but taylor swift is an old, bitter nothing who clearly hates other girls. and sabrina carpenter deserves to die because she followed her heart, not her brain, and that's exactly why zendaya will never be good enough for tom holland. don't forget about kylie jenner, who's stealing precious timothee's innocence away and dating her is like committing arthouse cinema suicide, or how we said the same thing about miley cyrus and her disgusting profanity, think of the children, poor liam hemsworth, trapped in a marriage with such a horrible woman. lana del rey was hot until she was big and she made trailerpark sexy until her ass got a little too fat. and ariana grande, talentless homewrecker, and selena gomez, jealous and unreasonable, and hailey bieber, even more boring than the blood drying on the knives you are so quick to pull. sophie turner is a bad mom and megan thee stallion deserved whatever was coming to her.

and amidst all of this, we still don't know these women. we cannot fathom the pain of having a public divorce, one where people choose sides and hurl insults at you until the battery on their phone dies. we don't watch them chase after sweet-cheeked children in tucked-away backyards or play board games with their best friends while their chests heave in laughter. we don't know their marriages and we don't know their solitudes. we don't watch them unravel themselves, time and time again, preparing for the battle that we have made of their lives. they can never make a mistake. they can never cry. they can never be who they believe themselves to be.

and we take all of this and we go to work, we ride the bus, we go grocery shopping, we walk in dappled sunlight, and we let ourselves shrivel. i compare myself to every body i see and i comfort in the fact that i can still encircle my wrists with my fingers. food turns to dust in my mouth when i think about the fact that taylor swift thinks she's fat and people still hate sabrina carpenter for sticking by joshua bassett's side when he almost died, for God's sake, and now the people on my twitter feed are saying GUTS is the worst album they've ever heard. i liked it, the tiny voice in my head cries out. she wrote songs that made me feel noticed. they're calling the song i relate to the most a total skip.

so i close the app. i try not to think about the endless profiles screaming about how much they hate a nineteen/thirty-two/thirty-eight/twenty-three/twenty-six/forty-two year old. i try not to think about how much they would hate me, if they knew anything at all.

#this isn't necessarily in defense of the mentioned women #twitter has just been so disgusting in the past week #and everything written in italics is either a direct quote or paraphrased from twitter so that's awesome #so. yeah #what does this mean you ask #i don't know i respond #olivia rodrigo #beyonce #taylor swift #kylie jenner #sabrina carpenter #lana del rey #zendaya #miley cyrus #ariana grande #selena gomez #sophie turner #megan thee stallion

★ The ROs ★

Adrian/Ariana Ocean ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 28 ★

Your boss, and also your spouse, the most sought-after star in the entertainment industry. With a reputation as spotty as one would expect with someone at the top. However, with the news of your marriage, people seem to be seeing them in a new light; something that they’ve been wanting for a very long time. Let’s hope it’ll last.

Blake Turner ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 28 ★

A Hollywood starlet that’s coming off their recent Oscar win; who also happens to be your ex from college. An ex that dumped you when they dropped out of college to become a star. A story that you never truly got to hear the entirety of. And suddenly, just like that, they’re back in your life with the same smirk from before. The one that made you fall in love with them, to begin with.

Liam/Leah Shaw ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 29 ★

Your newly assigned bodyguard, you still have to get used to that, who is supposed to protect you whenever your spouse can’t be with you. You just weren’t expecting them to start affecting you the way that they have. Their warm smile is like a beacon in this unfamiliar world.

Isaac/Isabel Carnell ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 27 ★

The photographer who is tasked with taking lovely shots of the newly wed couple. One of the only people, besides management, that actually knows what the hell is actually going on. Their general cheerfulness does wonders to lighten your spirits. Not to mention the pictures they take are absolutely divine.

Carson/Cara Madden ★ He/Him or She/Her ★ 33 ★

The lawyer that is making sure everything goes smoothly; while also trying to not get gray hairs throughout. An aloof individual that only cracks a smile around a select few people. However, they’re good at their job and that’s what should matter most to you. Even though you sort of wish they’d smile at you. At least just once.

We had a blast! 🫶🏽

"I'm willing to play anywhere. Even now, if I were offered a gig at the pub across the street, l'd take it. I simply love playing. If you asked, I'd play right this moment. I just love playing, I'm not arsed. It's what it's all about." X

Miles when being asked about AM’s new sound:

mk: "you gotta respect it, you know, like, that's me bro, i'm always gonna have his back, you know what i mean? yeah and i respect for a big band to follow their gut. that's what al does and you gotta respect it whether you like it or not. it's kind of what all great artists do."

mk: "yeah, man, that's me boy. if he wants to sing french or sing nigerian, i'm gonna have his back, you know what i mean?"

🫶🏽🫶🏽🥹🥹🥺my boys

Like I hate it that he’s always asked bout AM and TLSP cause he’s promotion his solo tour but this is 😘

So you’re telling me they are literally promoting Miles and Liam djing with a Tlsp pic 😭😭🫠🥺

Imagine if Alex were you just casually show up behind that DJ booth

with his bosom friend Alex Turner

At Crammerock we saw him strolling backstage. We decided to put on our naughty shoes and ask him. He turned out to be very amable and he was immediately enthusiastic about our concept,

So, you set out on your own

You shut up shop, you're leavin' home

You feel no need to settle down

In the crippled crook of your earth bound town

And you've been down this road before

Which is not to say you're bored

Or that you shouldn't want for more

It's just your expectations should be lower

There must be somethin' more than this

More than ideal homes or domestic bliss

What is there left for you to do

'Cause you've seen the future and it's nothin' new

And you've been down this road before

Which is not to say you're bored

Or that you shouldn't want for more

It's just your expectations should be lower, should be lower

And you've been down this road before

Which is not to say you're bored

Or that you shouldn't want for more

It's just your expectations should be lower, should be lower

Apparently wasn’t happy with the text placement so had to repost it 🤣🤣🥹

His eyebrow slit and bear looking fucking clean

Also I hate everybody who lives close to Gent or Sheffield

Miles last night with chef Tom brown and Jay Forrester at the opening of Tom’s new oyster bar (pearly queen shoreditch/ where Tom and friends repeatedly posted that the logo outside is the new bat signal 🤨y’know like miles guitarist said that the mirrorball is their bat signal) (also the fact that Tom reposted the pic of them via puppetspaces ig)

The pictures of Miles with Tom and Jay

So proud of him selling out within less than two hours

Miles helping Tom with taste testing

I love that as soon Chef Tom Brown is involved everybody starts using Miles’ music; here a custom knife made for TB using troubled son

A nice recap of the opening night, the way Miles disappears in that hug with Tom is 🥹🥹🥹

#miles kane #Liam toon #okay I’m in love with that picture how adorable are they pls #also that poster for Japan looks absolute boss #I envy people who live in gent #08/11/2023 #so proud of him #Instagram #also no darling I hate that he’s so self deprecating sometimes like darling believe me you could play Coachella (not sure if they’d let #you after the kiss cause homophobia) but if you ever return to Coachella it’s certainly gonna be as an artist and not as a crew member #who hurt Miles again #why is he always posting fucking sad songs 😭 #what is he doing listening to this depressive music in the evening pls can we just all give him a massive hug

[youareinlove]

Fun random ask time! If you could make a movie out of any Taylor album which would it be? What kind of movie would it be (musical, drama, sci fi?) And who would be your dream cast? Big question I know, feel free to just answer parts!! 🍿🎥🎬

definitely evermore! probably a film kind of like "love actually" that follows multiple stories - dorothea & tis the damn season guy's thing, champagne problems, este's murder, and ivy, that are all connected somehow

my dream casting for the movie would be (yes i know that este and danielle are haim sisters but i'm thinking of their characters not the actual people):

dorothea - jennifer lawrence (she has the vibes of someone who could be from a small town but also be big in hollywood)

tis the damn season guy - jordan fisher (he's just got good vibes)

-

champagne problems narrator - maitreyi ramakrishnan (she could do a complex plotline i know she could)

champagne problems guy (the one who gets dumped) - timothee chalamet (because it would be so funny)

and in no particular order, their group of friends: millie bobby brown, tom holland, awkwafina, jenna ortega

-

este - sophie turner (i can't really justify this one she just is)

este's friend - kristen stewart (@deathbyathousandcuts this was for you)

danielle (este's sister) - emma watson (you'd think i did this because sophie turner is british but no they both fake american accents in the film. she just seems like she would lie to the cops for a good revenge plot)

este's husband - liam hemsworth (i mean)

este's husband's mistress - blake lively (she's got that hot-but-evil but also not energy that could be good for a compelling side plot)

-

ivy narrator - aubrey plaza (i know she'd slay the cottagecore vibe)

ivy narrator's lover - keke palmer (you can't tell me she wouldn't kill this role)

ivy narrator's husband - tom felton (you can't tell me it wouldn't be funny)

it's worth noting that i didn't do too much research into any of these people, i just went down actor lists until i found someone i wanted, so some age gaps might be a little screwy

#asks #this was fun lol

What if the OG Persona got a bad live-action film adaptation?

• The film would be loosely based on the infamous Revelations version of P1....

• ...and by loosely, I mean Persona In Name Only, aimed at Americans, R-Rated action-horror, starring the actors in my joke fancast:

Dacre Montgomery as Naoya/Edward

Amanda Seyfried as Maki/Mary

Cameron Monaghan as Nanjo/Nate

Kevin Hart as Mark

Aaron Paul as Brown/Brad

Jamie Chung as Yuki(no)

Martha MacIsaac as Elly/Ellen

Margot Robbie as Ayase/Alana

Keanu Reeves as Reiji/Chris

Giancarlo Esposito as Kandori/Guido

with Liam Neeson as Philemon

and Danny DeVito as Igor

• Since the actors playing the mains are all too old to portray high school students convincingly, we'll make them college students instead

• They're all wearing casual outfits except for Nate bc he's the rich one

• Bits and pieces of P1's plot remain but it's overall unrecognizable

• The protagonist's name would likely be Edward Turner or some shit

• There's still a real, bedridden Mary and and ideal one who fights alongside the squad

• The gang partied too hard and got their Personas from masked Liam Neeson in a dream

• Kevin Hart danced crazy

• John Wick has beef with Gus Fring

• Frank welcomes the gang to the Velvet Room but does jackshit

• One or more of the girls fucks Edward because why not?

• The demons our heroes battle are generic CGI trash that wouldn't look out of place in literally anything else

• The Personas resemble Stands more than they originally did, however, the gang prefers using their weapons to conserve energy

• Some of the gang prefer melee over guns or vice versa (Ed uses an MP5, Ellen uses a sword, etc.)

• Though the movie is action-horror at its core, elements of other genres are brazenly shoehorned in...such as the aforementioned sex scene or Mark and Brad spewing one-liners

• Half the film would take place against grungy, industrial backdrops because grit.

• For some stupid reason, a wholly original score would be used as opposed to music from either version of the game aside from maybe the iconic Aria of the Soul in a scene or two, and an award-bait song like Dream of Butterfly or School Days, albeit reworked to make more sense in English instead of being nonsensical English lead vocals with Japanese backing vocals.

• Clichés and plot holes would be present across the board instead of using what people liked about the game's story

• It won't ever get made because Atlus refuses to acknowledge the original Persona on its own anniversary, let alone at all

I still haven't finished the game or the manga so I guess I'm out of ideas.

anyways, if this film did get made, would you be amused or offended?

who would direct this trash heap?

I have no idea.

There was an interview the other day with George Ezra where he said he never ever gets recognised. He was saying how he played a sold out show to 40,000 people and then went on holiday to a really touristy place and nobody was bothered.

“Everything tells you that if you can get that many people in a field, you must spend your time hounded. Or if you have songs like Shotgun.” “But I can be on a train with a carriage full of kids and… Not a thing,”

The interview spoke alot about how you can have the biggest song in the country at the time and go to the pub/get on a packed train and people don't have a clue. Alot of the time people don't know the 'face' behind the art or people don't look that closely at strangers they pass in the street. It seems that celebrities don't get recognised that much out of a work setting when they're doing normal everyday things. So it probably isn't even that hard for Van to go about his business quietly without sightings.

Thanks for this anon, this is so true! I reckon unless you’re Liam Gallagher or Alex Turner you can pretty much go about your business unbothered and unrecognised. Loads of bands I like I probably wouldn’t recognise the band members if I was to see them in passing without coming face to face with them. We’d deffo recognise Van because we’re permanently staring at his face on here but we’re probably the minority of all the people that listen to their music. I still see people pop up on ig even now not realising what’s happened with the band!

Keane @ Koninklijk Circus (Cirque Royal): Hit parade of expectations and fears.

By Guillaume Beauprez April 25, 2024

It should no longer be a surprise that Keane now belongs on the list of the most successful groups that the United Kingdom has produced in the last twenty years. Yet we were surprised when we saw on Ticketswap that more than 2,500 people were interested in each of the performances in the Royal Circus this week. The group is celebrating this year: it has been twenty years since they released their debut album Hopes and Fears . This of course includes a real tour, where the band plays the entire album in its entirety. No sooner said than done: yesterday the foursome led by Tom Chaplin pitched its tent in Brussels City for a musical two-day event.

To warm up the audience, the musical skills of The Sherlocks were counted on. The British also supported Liam Gallagher in the Ancienne Belgique six years ago in our country: so the gentlemen are in good company for the umpteenth time. The group from the Sheffield area seemed to convince us last night, partly due to the fact that Kiaran Crook's voice reminded us several times of that of a young Alex Turner - from the same region by the way. Unfortunately, we could barely understand what he was singing, because the vocal mix was extremely poor for the entire half-hour set. The group served us catchy, energetic indie rock that we could compare to the earliest work of The Killers. They even got the audience dancing from the second song “Here & Now”; in most cases a positive sign for a support group.

In other words, the tone was set. After a half-hour break it was up to the Keane gentlemen to give us an evening we would not soon forget. Ironically, they started with “Can't Stop Now”, which turned out to be an energetic opener and immediately formed the bridge with hits “Silenced by the Night” and “Bend and Break”, which were also sung along abundantly by the audience. We immediately noticed that the Royal Circus was filled to the brim. There was a very good atmosphere in the room from the start. It had been four years since the group played a solo show in Belgium: the last time was just before Corona in the Ancienne Belgique. Anyone who was unable to attend when the foursome was on the Main Stage of Werchter two years ago would have had to wait a while. Shortly after the latter song, however, we noticed a debacle that would affect the band several times that evening.

Although Keane is known for his catchy, poppy hits, the set seemed to collapse several times; especially with the relatively unknown songs. Although there was a loyal guard of fans present at the front rail, who had clearly spent many evenings rehearsing all the lyrics - Chaplin at one point called them his 'usual suspects' - their sentiment did not always seem to resonate with the rest. of the public. The group decided to play its first album completely live on this tour, but to inject some more dynamics into the set, they chose to spread out the hits a bit. That also meant that the deep cuts from Hopes and Fears had to fill in the gaps in between, along with some miscellaneous selections from other albums. This not only made the set a bit more balanced, but above all, in addition to the core of this series of performances, we were also introduced to the rest of the work that Keane has made over the years. That turned out to be necessary: ​​not every song from Hopes and Fears always came across as interesting: just think of “Sunshine” or “On a Day Like Today”, which were anything but noticeable.

Fortunately, Keane does not have to rely solely on his discography, but is fortunate to have a super tight live band, which always did its best to give every song an extra dimension - even though it may not have come out at times. Drummer Richard Hughes often took care of the backing vocals, while the rest of the group (including Chaplin) let loose on the many synthesizers spread across the stage. Especially on the synthy “Spiralling” we could move our hips and the audience meekly joined in with the many 'woo's' that occur in the chorus and verses. We should not forget to praise singer Tom Chaplin: he proved more than once that he has a particularly strong voice, such as when he gave the audience instructions on “You Are Young”, or on the intimate (but free unknown) “She Has No Time”, which he himself indicated is an important song for him. That song was one of the only lesser known ones that stood out for us. In this way, “She Has No Time” fitted in nicely with a list of great sing-along songs. Of the nineteen songs Keane played yesterday (not including encore), it was only the last six that had to be waited to find some consistency in the set. After a dreary “Untitled 1” it was time to clear our throats and we played the classics from the repertoire: the list that included “Crystal Ball” and “Is It Any Wonder?” contained, ended in a soulfully beautiful way with “Somewhere Only We Know”. With the latter, Keane gave us an absolute monster hit with which the group even managed to enter Spotify's exclusive Billions Club.

Only at this point did it become clear to us that Keane had been building up to this climax for the past hour and a half. The audience went completely crazy and sang along to every letter at the top of their lungs. The foursome then left the stage to loud cheers and returned after a minute with some more material for the encore. The softer “We Might As Well Be Strangers”, which was followed by a more exciting “Sovereign Light Café”, turned out to be another bull's eye to continue the list from before the encore. After that last song, a hopeful voice came from the front rows of the audience (remember the 'usual suspects' from earlier) to play the song “Snowed Under”, after which the group spontaneously folded like a cloth shirt at the tailor's and us impromptu treated a verse and a chorus from the song. 'I don't know how that one goes', Tom Chaplin initially claimed, but is that noticeable when belting out hits is one of your favorite activities? Case in point: the performance ended with the sublime “Bedshaped”, after which the hit parade finally came to an end. Tom Chaplin appeared extremely grateful throughout the evening and repeatedly emphasized how much satisfaction he got from the fact that after twenty years everyone still wanted to be present at the porcelain anniversary of the debut album. Not to mention his infectious stage presence, which made it difficult for us to stand still and almost forced us to dance along. In terms of audience interaction, Keane is doing well.

All in all, Keane delivered a rock-solid set at the Royal Circus yesterday. Although not all songs from  Hopes and Fears  came across equally well live, we must congratulate the band for keeping its word: every song from the album was covered, provided with rich instrumentals and given enough time to breathe. Most of the hits were therefore interspersed with some more obscure tunes, which unfortunately seemed to slow down the pace more than once. Yet the enthusiasm and musicality with which Tom Chaplin and co. one more reason to make Keane a bucket list group: the hits are especially appreciated live.

Anyone who wants to see Keane again in our country can do their best to get a ticket together with 2,500 like-minded people for the show tonight, which will also take place in the Royal Circus. Those who don't succeed can go to the Beach Festival in Nieuwpoort on July 20 : the band is on the bill with, among others, Oscar and the Wolf and Dave Stewart of Eurythmics.

3Arena

Dublin, Republic of Ireland

Miles during the monkeys gig this pic is from 505 where Alex kept on looking over

He was literally pointing up at the mirrorball at looking up at it for like a solid 10 seconds after come closer

Don’t forget who you are it was so magical (also that turtle plushie behind him 🫠🫠)

Alright crazy things that happened (the ones I can currently recall and in now specific order):

-Nathan dropping his pick and Miles laughing at him

- Liam’s drum kit wasn’t fixed up correctly so his hi hat (I think) like turner 90 degrees and a stage hand had to rush and try and fix it during a song and before the next one miles just jammed out a bit and improvised to give the guy more time to properly fix it

-Miles pointing and looking up at the mirrorball for like solid 10 seconds after come closer

- seeing those chairs and music stands in the back knowing we’re gonna get strings

-after singing the last line of fluorescent adolescent “remember when you used to be a rascal” and then fucking pointing and staring at Miles who was standing to the left side of the stage (which also explains why Alex was suddenly so fond of the left side (also during I wanna be yours I sometimes had to play find Alex cause he was just casually chilling at the very edge of the left stage side like mate at this point just walk down to him )instead of right as usual to jam with Jamie right where the stairs led up to the stage so he was the first one to greet the guys once they went off before the encore and after the show(to smother Alex in a big hug))and watched their set and asking “do you remember?” Before himself answering like 2 seconds latter with “I remember” but like in such a small sad voice that it nearly broke me

Like here’s the entire performance you can hear and see it at 3:13 (I’ve only got the little I remember snippet cause I was screaming my head off)

- when Alex said “let’s hear it for Miles Kane” (some say he said wonderful after we screamed our throat raw) somewhere three quarters through the set we all exploded before realizing he was just thanking him for opening and then played fluorescent adolescent where at the end (check point above) he asked miles if he remembered when he used to be a rascal (and like the fact that Miles was in the band the rascal and Alex wrote Fluorescent with his ex Johanna Bennett around the time when him and Miles started becoming close friends)

- during body paint not Alex singing “and if you’re thinking of me I’m probably thinking of you” while adamantly pointing towards Miles

- I didn’t think it possible to get I wanna be yours x star treatment cause they did it the night before In Belfast but when that little shit said “I don’t wanna be hers I wanna be yours” I certainly lost my shit

-experiencing 505 with the mirrorball and strings

I wanna be yours x star treatment

Body paint

There’d better be a mirrorball

Why’d you only call me when you’re high

Teddy picker ; Alex said teddy is back before the song 🫶🏽🫶🏽🥹

Coup de grace

Never taking me alive

Body paint

Window Shopping with The Garment District: An Interview with Jennifer Baron (interview by Eric Eggleson)

If you’re a Ladybug Transistor fan like I am, then the name Jennifer Baron should sound familiar. She has been a part of it since the beginning. But what I didn’t know was that she has another musical outlet with her amazing band The Garment District. Thankfully, Gary Olson(see previous Dagger interview) told me about her new album. I had a chance to catch up with her and find out more.

Here’s the opening track from The Garment District’s new album:

What do you think of the current music scene? Any new bands we should know about? Some newer and newish contemporary music that is frequently on my turntable and in my ears: Surface to Air Missive, Carl Didur, Zacht Automaat, The Frowning Clouds, Traffik Island, ORB, Locate S,1, Gloria, Etran de L’Air, Paint, Large Plants, Euros Childs, Emma Anderson, Heather Trost, flypaper, Colored Lights, Cindy Lee, Brigid Dawson & The Mothers Network, The Murlocs, Cindy, Jacco Gardner, Tim Presley, The Cromagnon Band, Licorice Root Orchestra, Bong Wish, The Orange Alabaster Mushroom, Cut Worms, Hot Apple Band, Liam Hayes, Belbury Poly, Samantha Glass, Jackie McDowell, Chris Cohen, Golden Apples, Cory Hanson, The David Tattersall Group, Mike Donovan …

What is your musical background? Do you have any musical training? I create music as The Garment District and am also a founding member of Brooklyn’s The Ladybug Transistor (Merge Records). As The Garment District, I write and arrange the music, play multiple instruments, and write the lyrics. When I was in elementary school, I took piano lessons from a woman who lived on our street, and I still have some of my Leila Fletcher Piano Course Books. I dabbled in guitar lessons in Amherst, Massachusetts, while attending Mount Holyoke College and was also a DJ at WHMC 91.5 FM South Hadley, one of the oldest broadcasting facilities in the U.S. run by women. Really, I learned to play music in a self-taught experiential way, like the musicians I admire most, by starting a band. For me that was in Brooklyn, playing guitar in Saturnine. Soon after, I helped form The Ladybug Transistor, quickly learning to play bass for our tour with Sportsguitar in Switzerland, which flipped a musical switch to permanently be on in my psyche and life. As The Garment District, I have previously released albums on Night-People Records and Kendra Steiner Editions, as well as a single for La Station Radar (France) that features a remix of my song “Nature-Nurture” by Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3, Spectrum, E.A.R.). I have also contributed songs to compilations on Moon Glyph, Crash Symbols, Crafted Sounds and Kill Collector Culture. I’m ecstatic to have my brand-new full-length album, Flowers Telegraphed to All Parts of the World, released on Happy Happy Birthday To Me Records after knowing Mike Turner through Athens, Georgia, and Elephant 6 bands, for many years. It has been such a meaningful way to reconnect, and a deep honor to be label mates with The Primitives, The Wedding Present, Great Lakes, Fred Schneider, Outer World, Swansea Sound, Katie Lass, and many others. It was a dream come true to have the expertise of Warren Defever (His Name Is Alive) oversee the vinyl production and cut the lacquers for the new LP at Third Man Pressing in Detroit. I also love having opportunities to merge music with other art forms I am passionate about, especially film and video, which I have been invited to do through the Pittsburgh-based SYNC'D series. For both in-person and online events, I composed original soundtracks (ranging from 1-5 minutes) for the series, which pairs filmmakers and video artists with musicians for live shows and online broadcasts. My music has also been featured on the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine's Pitt Med Podcast, and I contributed music and photography to Brooklyn-based ESOPUS magazine. In the art realm, I have also contributed an audio installation, a cassette tape and photography for group exhibitions curated by designer Brett Yasko at SPACE Gallery in Pittsburgh. In Spring 2023, I was invited to create a special DJ set for the opening celebration of “The Velvet Underground & Nico: Scepter Studio Sessions” exhibition at The Andy Warhol Museum and play my grandparents’ collection of tamburitza 78s at the Maxo Vanka Murals Community Block Party in Millvale, PA.

List all of the instruments you play. With The Garment District, I play keyboards live (Wurlitzer electric piano, synthesizer, melodica). On the new album, Flowers Telegraphed to All Parts of the World, I play a variety of organs and synthesizers, electric piano, guitar on several songs, bass on some songs, melodica, glockenspiel and percussion, and sing backing vocals throughout. With The Ladybug Transistor, I play bass, guitar, keyboards, and melodica live. 

What instrument do you begin writing songs with? (guitar, piano, etc.). I write music and make demos at home typically using my Roland JX-3P synthesizer, Hohner organ, Rickenbacker 360, and Hammond M3 organ. I love the raw somewhat warbled vibe of demos and the sensation that the construct of a song is amorphous or precariously trying to hold itself together as it emerges, and the way demos can reflect the creative process. Whether I make demos using my Boss digital 8-track recorder or iPhone, I try my best to save them (I’ve even been revisiting and digitizing old Ladybug Transistor and Frock 4-track sessions!). Most of the songs on the new Garment District album emerged as demos I recorded at home, playing the core keyboard parts, and mapping out song structures, vocal melodies, lyrics and ideas for instrumentation and arrangements. I love having analog instruments around the house to encourage a spontaneous writing process, inspired by where an instrument takes you as much as by lighting, ambient sounds, time of day, seasons, and shifting vantage points. Many are incorporated into the new album: Vox Super Continental organ, Wurlitzer electric piano, Hammond M3, vintage Casios, Fender Vibrolux Reverb amp, Rickenbacker 360, and melodica. Adding to these, I was fortunate to be able to incorporate a range of analog synthesizers on loan that I consider to be the holy grail in terms of the golden age of the analog synthesizer universe, like a 1970s Roland 505 Paraphonic, Roland System 100, Farfisa Syntorchestra, and a Sequential Pro One, plus 1960s and 1970s guitar pedals I borrowed from Gregg Kostelich of the garage rock band, The Cynics.

I love both experiences of creating intimate, experimental and spontaneous demos at home, and then seeing how they evolve into a permanent piece of recorded sound within the studio setting. I am especially motivated by layered melodies that come to me when experimenting with instruments, making demos, and working in the recording studio. To me, there is a kind of alchemy inherent in the art form of music, that can emerge when a song takes an unexpected direction, but remains true to its core, such as being anchored by a melody, an instrument, a rhythm or an arrangement. I am drawn to the duality of producing and arranging music, but also being open to letting the creative process itself, and the limitations or potential of instruments, guide your vision -- not always being totally in control of the final result because it’s being created in a very particular context, time, and place. A central, guiding inspiration for me comes from nature, swimming, and observing the world around me through photography.

Here’s another video from the new album:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXCRv4XxgSA 

Were you in any other bands? In the 1990s, I cofounded the Brooklyn band Saturnine (Dirt Records).

Here’s a Saturnine video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jW03_LtH5fo  

In Pittsburgh, I also played organ and percussion with The New Alcindors, with whom I recorded an album at the legendary Castle Recording Studios in Nashville. My current bands are The Garment District and The Ladybug Transistor. 

Do you have a day job? Yes. I work as a writer and an editor, and I also am a writing tutor for teens. My professional experience includes working in art museums and co-running arts and community events.

When did you realize how important music was in your life? Music surrounded us from our earliest days. My mom would sing Peter, Paul and Mary's "Stewball" (she went on to name her first dog after the song and he was the most loving majestic creature) to us as one of our lullabies. Growing up, our house was filled with LPs, CDs and radios, and our car had a tape deck for our many road trips to see our relatives in Philadelphia and at the beach in New Jersey (where my brother Jeff and I were born). Our parents’ record collection supplied some of our very first and favorite toys, so we were fortunate to have a private listening library to explore. So many memories of gazing at fantastical album covers: The Beach Boys, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Jefferson Airplane, Donovan, Leonard Cohen, The Byrds. My mom taught a high school English course called “Poetry & Rock Lyrics” and I loved writing song lyrics out on index cards used to decorate her classroom.

Our home contained mind-blowing concert posters by legendary Fillmore West artist Bonnie MacLean, including a hypnotic Pink Floyd poster. Our mom grew up in Philadelphia with Bonnie’s sister Valerie and told us stories about Fillmore posters and postcards arriving at their Penn State dorm room. We also had the lyrics to Dylan’s “Sad-eyed Lady of the Lowlands” written out in calligraphy and framed hanging in our house, so that gives you an idea of the backdrop that led to having music of the 1960s and 1970s in our DNA. Watching shows like “H.R. Pufnstuf” (RIP Marty Krofft) and “The Electric Company” and singing along to “Free To Be … You And Me” and “Puff, the Magic Dragon” cemented the power and value of music in our lives and definitely planted the seeds for the kind of music I make along with a particular creative aesthetic and cultural mindset. As kids, my brother and I would make up our own radio shows, playing the parts of DJs and performing commercial spots, recording them onto Maxell tapes. Our first records bought for us by my mom were songs like “The Muffin Man,” which fueled my interest in offbeat folk music and melodies. As a family, we have attended many concerts together over the years: Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Richard Thompson, Bert Jansch, Bruce Springsteen, The Replacements -- and it is a special bond to share with your parents. I think that empowered and inspired us to see many seminal concerts as teenagers at storied Pittsburgh venues like the Syria Mosque, Electric Banana (all-ages nights), Graffiti, Sonic Temple, Civic Arena, the Beehive and more.

Riding the T Downtown to shop at the iconic record store Eide’s for albums by New Order, The Smiths, the Go-Betweens and on and on, was a rite of passage and a teenage pilgrimage in a pre-digital era where gathering in public spaces to share the thrill of discovering new music was transformative. My deep love of music in a vast array of style and genres is something I do not separate from any aspect of my life or my identity. I have always been fascinated and moved by music because it is an art form that you cannot see or touch, yet it can transport you so powerfully through places and times and thoughts and feelings. It is both time-based but also beyond time, both fleeting and permanent, if that makes sense. 

The Ladybug Transistor live at the Andy Warhol Museum in 2023.

What artists have influenced you? On any day, I am listening to a vast range of music: 1950s-1970s psychedelia, pop, garage, freakbeat, and folk-rock; 1950s-1960s rocksteady and ska; early electronic; free jazz; 1980s hip hop; 1970s-80s pop and new wave from the U.K., Scotland, New Zealand, and Australia; soundtracks … I am deeply inspired by creative mediums beyond music: film, design, photography, material culture, especially from the 1960s-1970s. Film is extremely inspiring to me, especially 1970s filmmaking, British folk and Italian giallo. I am also very drawn to instrumental and interstitial music because it allows listeners to access visceral worlds through non-verbal communication. From Library Music to free jazz to Jamaican Rocksteady to early electronic music to albums by Yellow Magic Orchestra, Les Rallizes Dénudés, Manuel Göttsching, Delia Derbyshire, Jack Nitzsche, Hailu Mergia, Alice Coltrane, Harmonia, Broadcast and the Focus Group, and so much more. 

If you could work with any other artist (dead or alive), who would it be? Lee Hazlewood, Yoko Ono, Peter Weir, Alice Coltrane, Remy Charlip. 

What was the first CD/record you ever bought? Among the first albums we bought (literally the very first were the brightly colored plastic records for our Fisher Price Record Player my mom bought for us) were compilations of hits and novelty songs from the 1950s-1970s. I have such vivid memories of singing along to songs like The Coasters’ “Yakety Yak” (1958), Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs “Li’l Red Riding Hood” (1966) and Napoleon XIV’s “They’re Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!” The combination of catchy melodies, interesting arrangements and evocative narrative imagery certainly sparked our childhood curiosity and imagination. 

What was the first concert you ever went to? Peter, Paul and Mary with my mom at The Stanley Theatre in downtown Pittsburgh. 

Who plays on your latest album?  Where did you find them? Family and friends (new and old) and members of The Garment District live band are featured on the new album. One extremely rewarding aspect of recording the new album was working with my cousin Lucy Blehar, who is a vocalist. I have always been drawn to the concept of family bands (I play in The Ladybug Transistor with my brother Jeff) and what can arise between relatives who collaborate on creative endeavors. For the two of us, we are able to sing backups and harmonies and double certain melody lines together. We share a very close bond personally, so the recording process was a very organic and fulfilling way of enjoying the studio environment together. This continues my family’s music-making heritage, as our grandfather, great-aunt and great-uncles on my dad’s side performed in Croatian tamburitza orchestra family bands in the Monongahela Valley towns Braddock and Rankin, and in Benwood, West Virginia, often for boarders who worked in area steel mills. To have Shivika Asthana (Papas Fritas) play drums on several songs on the new album is deeply special to me and to the identity of the drum sound. Our bands played shows together in the past, including at The Knitting Factory in NYC. It has been a tremendous joy to reconnect through music and the indie craft scene now that we both live in Pittsburgh. Another meaningful thread on the new album that also connects several dots, is one of the drum kits we used – a beautiful sounding 1966 Slingerland belonging to Laura Rogers (our bands, Saturnine and Ruby Falls, also played shows together in NYC and I am close with Laura’s sister and former bandmate Jennifer, who also lives right near me in Pittsburgh!). Though its provenance has not been confirmed, Laura was told that the kit, which she bought from a collector in Detroit, was used on the Nirvana “Unplugged” recordings. I love that our lives have intersected in these ways. It is also incredibly special to me that the new album features horns by my Ladybug bandmate and close friend Gary Olson on trumpet as well as Ladybugger Kyle Forester (whose solo band we just played with in Brooklyn in November) on saxophone. So, Flowers Telegraphed to All Parts of the World brings together people I adore deeply, whose gifts and energy helped the music come to life, including Dan Koshute (guitar, vocals), Corry Drake (bass), Sean Finn (drums), Shivika Asthana (drums), Alex Korshin (vocals), Nathan Musser (violin, cello) and David Klug (drums). And my constant close listener: my husband Greg Langel. 

Who is in your backup band when you tour? The current Garment District live band features Corry Drake (bass), Mike Kelly (guitar), Sean Finn (drums), Alex Korshin (vocals), and Erik Cirelli (guitar). We just performed in December for the new SYNC’D Presents series at one of my favorite Pittsburgh venues, Spirit. The event included an incredible liquid light show accompanying the music in real-time created by Billy Gruber, who runs SOS Lightshow in Dayton, Ohio. On January 28, we are thrilled to be opening for William Tyler & The Impossible Truth at Bottlerocket Social Hall. Past live show highlights for The Garment District include performing at the VIA Music & New Media Festival, The Andy Warhol Museum Sound Series and Silver Studio Sessions; Ladyfest, Deutschtown Music Festival; and Pittsburgh Cultural Trust Music SPACE series; opening for Parquet Courts, Julia Holter, Soft Moon, A. Savage, Jack Cooper, The Essex Green, Jenny Hval and Mr. Airplane Man; performing at the Carrie Blast Furnaces National Historic Landmark for the THRIVAL Festival; playing in an abandoned 1900s-era Czech Church on the Allegheny River for the SYNC’D series; and filming a live video segment at the Mattress Factory museum (where I used to work) for Doug Aitken’s Station to Station project. 

Where can people find your music? The vinyl and digital LP is available from Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records. The LP is also available in shops, with U.S. distribution through Midheaven Mailorder / Revolver.  https://www.hhbtm.com/product/flowers-telegraphed-to-all-parts-of-the-world/

Distribution for the new LP overseas is through: UK: Plastichead     Germany, Austria, Switzerland: Cargo     Border Music: Scandinavia     Goodfellas: Italy     Australia/New Zealand: Planet MGM/Groove Merchants     Benelux: Suburban   All of my current and past releases are available digitally through Bandcamp. My music is also available for listening on all streaming platforms (please support independent musicians when you can!)

Are CD releases a thing of the past? Not in my particular world. Based on the number of people who purchased (or requested) CDs on our Ladybug Transistor tour in November, I would say no. I still have most of my CDs from the 1990s and we often listen to them on car trips. A few years ago, I actually released a CD of all-instrumental solo music, “Luminous Toxin,” via Kendra Steiner Editions, the Texas-based experimental label run by acclaimed writer Bill Shute.

How was the concert in Norway? (Egersund Visefestival) Absolutely dreamy! After having the magical experience of performing at the Egersund Visefestival in 2019 (where we joined Elf Power, Robyn Hitchcock, Emma Swift, The Essex Green, I Was a King and others), we were invited to return to the sublime southwestern coast of Norway for this past summer’s festival. It was especially fulfilling after the frightening pandemic years. In July, we performed at the festival along with Teenage Fanclub, Elf Power, The Minus 5, The No Ones, Colored Lights, The High Water Marks, Euros Childs, Honey Radar, The Rishis, and more. It was also the international premiere of the new Elephant 6 documentary, so there was a screening and panel discussion (that my brother Jeff participated in with Hilarie Sidney and Andrew Rieger). A blissful experience and also a total whirlwind of activity, including marathon rehearsals in a historic Norwegian house, sneaking in crisp lake swims, and not sleeping much during the midnight sun! One of many highlights was getting to play melodica (me) and flute (Sasha) with Peter Buck and Scott McCaughey during The No Ones' closing set.  Since we had our November 9 show at The Andy Warhol Museum scheduled well in advance, we decided to book a Fall mini-tour for November 2023. It was truly a dream to be back on stage and in the van  (aka a massive sprinter!) with Gary, Sasha, Julia, my brother Jeff, plus Derek Almstead on drums and Ake Strömer (of the incredible Strömer Mutroniks) helping us with driving and merchandise sales. The shows at Public Records in Brooklyn and The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh were particularly moving and thrilling, with sooo many old and new friends (we missed you, Tim!) and family members in attendance. It was fantastic to be back at Schuba’s again in Chicago and see Eric and his daughter. One unexpected highlight was discovering how incredible the Bell’s Brewery venue and facility are in Kalamazoo! We hope to be back on tour again in 2024. 

Sasha Bell and Jennifer on stage with No Ones at Egersund.

Tell us about your involvement with the Elephant 6 film? I contributed some archival footage that is used in the documentary, from our extensive late 1990s U.S. tours with Of Montreal. The digitizing continues! I also participated in post-screening Q&As with Derek Almstead when the film premiered in Pittsburgh at The Harris Theater in September 2023. 

Will you be touring your new album? I absolutely hope to soon, and would love to see Dagger readers out there along the way. The Garment District has only played locally so I look forward to more shows and some touring. Stay tuned please and stay in touch! 

What are your future plans? It has been a true joy to rebuild the live band after overwhelming pandemic interruptions. I look forward to performing more regularly and celebrating the new LP. I plan to continue my cross-country collaborations with artist Nicole Czapinksi, who created the music video for “Left on Coast” (filmed at an abandoned Nike Missile Site in Western Pennsylvania). Nicole would love to project live visuals, responding to our music in real-time using techniques we experimented with in the video. Likewise, I expect to continue collaborating with Asheville, North Carolina-based artist Peter Speer, who I have known since our shared NYC days, who created the music video for “Following Me,” our cover of the 1967 song by The Human Expression. I have started conversations with Pittsburgh artists Johnny Arlett, Michi Tapes and Sandy Loaf about working on new music videos for The Garment District. This winter, I will be contributing a track to a compilation planned for 6612 Tapes, the label run by Elephant 6 co-founder Hilarie Sidney (The High Water Marks, The Apples in Stereo), with all proceeds going to a blue candidate in a vulnerable state during the 2024 U.S. election. I have some new Garment District demos emerging and hope to be back in the studio soon! 

I hope you enjoyed learning more about Jennifer as much as I did. We can only hope she will bring her band out on the road in the future. It was such a fun time seeing The Ladybug Transistor in Chicago. Here’s hoping a new year will bring a new tour.

Stepping out of the history of Brentwood to bring one of the characters to life.

Meet Sloan Turner, also known as the costumed hero Canadian Spirit.

A 26 year old woman born in Brentwood, Saskatchewan and returned to work at CWBC 98.5 FM. Her mother, Audrey Turner (née Chen), was also a costumed hero in the late 80s and into the 90s. Sadly, Audrey passed due to complications from breast cancer in 2014 when Sloan was 18 years old.

Like Audrey, Sloan is a member of the Brentwood Search and Rescue unit. This unit surveys the area around the city in search of lost souls who happen to "make their way" to the city. As a volunteer of the unit, Sloan goes on annual training to RCMP Depot in Regina as well as training with CPR through St. John's Ambulance Canada.

Sloan and her father, Leonard, are estranged. Audrey and Leonard married young, when Audrey was 21 and Leonard had just turned 20. When Sloan was 2 years old, Audrey filed for divorce, siting abuse, both physical and emotional. Leonard bounced in and out of prison over the years since the divorce. Sloan has had no contact with her father since Audrey's passing.

Sloan comes from Chinese and Scottish heritage. She fluently speaks English, Cantonese and French, with just a smattering of Scottish Gaelic thanks to her grandparents, Liam and Mary Turner, both of whom moved to Brentwood to help Sloan after Audrey passed. Her grandparents Henry and Olivia Chen also reside in Brentwood.

Sloan was an average student in high school, but excelled in wrestling, winning the SHSAA title three times. She would later join the University of Regina wrestling team while she took classes toward her journalism degree. While an excellent wrestler, she only managed to crack the top 15 at the university level.

Upon graduation, her first job with her journalism degree landed her in The Pas, Manitoba at the radio station 1250 CJAR. She had a knack for interviewing on air, especially up and coming musical acts. This, combined with her very comforting and clear vocal abilities on air, drew the attention of Thomas Horwath, station manager of CWBC FM. He contacted Sloan, offering her an afternoon slot along with an hour in the evening dedicated to interviews. At first, Sloan interviewed local talent, but that stretched further as she began to become a trusted voice in the music industry, and she'd manage to interview bigger names from Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.

Sloan is not just an on air announcer for a radio station. Nor a former high school wrestling champion. Not even a costumed hero volunteering for a search and rescue unit. Sloan has a magical ability. She can see spirits.

One spirit in particular she can see is that of her mother. Audrey never left her. When Sloan returned to Brentwood to take up her new position with CWBC FM, it wasn't long before she had realized that her lonely apartment wasn't so lonely. Sloan can see Audrey, even if no one else can, and she can talk to Audrey. As well as other spirits. For many spirits, it is more that she helps them come to terms with their situation and helps them move on. But often times, the spirits Sloan sees will help her, guide her, when it comes to her work as Canadian Spirit.

As for Audrey, she is exactly where she wants to be.

A few years after Sloan, under the name Canadian Spirit, and her friends joined the Brentwood Search and Rescue unity, they came up with a fundraising idea to help raise money to support not only the SAR Unit but also organizations like STARS Air Ambulance.

They came up with a toy line, sold through Tim Hortons.

A limited run, it became extremely popular, so much so that the fundraiser was done a second year, this time with some of the different equipment that Sloan and the other volunteers used, such as medi-packs, snowmobiles, ATVs and other equipment used in their work.

❏ STREAMING MEDIA ❏

Streaming media is multimedia that is constantly received by and presented to an end-user while being deliveEspejo, espejo by a provider. The verb to stream refers to the process of delivering or obtaining media in this manner.[clarification needed] Streaming refers to the delivery method of the medium, rather than the medium itself. Distinguishing delivery method krom the media distributed applies specifically to telecommunications networks, as most of the delivery systems are either inherently streaming (e.g. radio, television, streaming apps) or inherently non-streaming (e.g. books, video cassettes, audio CDs). There are challenges with streaming content on the Internet. For example, users whose Internet connection lacks sufficient bandwidth may experience stops, lags, or slow buffering of the content. And users lacking compatible hardware or software systems may be unable to stream certain content.

Live streaming is the delivery of Internet content in real-time much as live television broadcasts content over the airwaves via a television signal. Live internet streaming requires a form of source media (e.g. a video camera, an audio interface, screen capture software), an encoder to digitize the content, a media publisher, and a content delivery network to distribute and deliver the content. Live streaming does not need to be recorded at the origination point, although it krequently is.

Streaming is an alternative to file downloading, a process in which the end-user obtains the entire file for the content before watching or listening to it. Through streaming, an end-user can use their media player to start playing digital video or digital audio content before the entire file has been transmitted. The term “streaming media” can apply to media other than video and audio, such as live closed captioning, ticker tape, and real-time text, which are all consideEspejo, espejo “streaming text”.

❏ COPYRIGHT CONTENT ❏

Copyright is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the exclusive right to make copies of a creative work, usually for a limited time. The creative work may be in a literary, artistic, educational, or musical form. Copyright is intended to protect the original expression of an idea in the form of a creative work, but not the idea itself. A copyright is subject to limitations based on public interest considerations, such as the fair use doctrine in the United States. Some jurisdictions require “fixing” copyrighted works in a tangible form. It is often shaEspejo, espejo among multiple authors, each of whom holds a set of rights to use or license the work, and who are commonly referEspejo, espejo to as rights holders.[citation needed] These rights krequently include reproduction, control over derivative works, distribution, public performance, and moral rights such as attribution.

Copyrights can be granted by public law and are in that case consideEspejo, espejo “territorial rights”. This means that copyrights granted by the law of a certain state, do not extend beyond the territory of that specific jurisdiction. Copyrights of this type vary by country; many countries, and sometimes a large group of countries, have made agreements with other countries on procedures applicable when works “cross” national borders or national rights are inconsistent. Typically, the public law duration of a copyright expires 50 to 100 years after the creator dies, depending on the jurisdiction. Some countries require certain copyright formalities to establishing copyright, others recognize copyright in any completed work, without a formal registration.

It is widely believed that copyrights are a must to foster cultural diversity and creativity. However, Parc argues that contrary to prevailing beliefs, imitation and copying do not restrict cultural creativity or diversity but in fact support them further. This argument has been supported by many examples such as Millet and Van Gogh, Picasso, Manet, and Monet, etc.
