[Moon Tooth] "Violent Grief Sessions" : Love these guys, because I can share them with my non-metal friends. [Vulfpeck] "Mit Peck" : Fascinating to see how these guys have developed, and what aspects of their sound has stayed with them since the beginning.

"Fugue State" : Wow, these boys sure can funk! [Deastro] "Keepers" : The sounds of this album are super nostalgic for me, and I think this does a great job of preserving the sound of that cluttered comfy aesthetic the late oughts and early tens had. [Justice] "✝" : Very nearly all bangers. [Brian Eno] "After the Heat" : Super nice textures make me want to listen to more from this artist, even though I hadn't given the first project I heard from him as much attention. [De La Soul] "De La Soul is Dead" : I don't know anything about rap, but this kicks ass catastrophically. [Moon Hooch] "My Head & My Heart" : I hope that the artists are pursuing what they want to and find a lot of success, but I found this album to be a devastating departure from everything I like about Moon Hooch. [Squarepusher] "Ultravisitor" : Currently my favorite Squarepusher album, the bass solos melting out of noise are divinely inspired.

Deastro - To the Moon and Back

Q+A I did for ZapTown (now defunct), June 29, 2009

Randolph Chabot has been writing songs since early adolescence. Hundreds of songs later, he has developed into one of the more eclectic independent musicians of the early 21st Century. When <em>Keepers</em> was released — a culmination from the massive stockpile of demos he had lying around — it turned heads and got people dancing ecstatically to his blend of synth-pop and video game sounds echoing about.

Now with Moondagger, he has enlisted a full band to expand his vision. A vivid imagination, a lover of life, and one hopeful soul within the brooding landscape of Detroit, Michigan and beyond, Deastro hopes to reach out to the stars and pull one in just for you.

It feels like within your songs and in whatever you create, you reach out to the essence of life and human imperfection. How do you view that in your music and in your life? What do you feel is the most important ideology between that and being an artist?

When I write songs sometimes I have to stop midway because I realize I cannot sing about something if I do not believe in it myself or am unwilling to take the idea to its end. For me, the purpose of being an artist is to be somewhere between a cheerleader and a crazy bum yelling that the world is going to end and then asking you for 50 cents so he can get drunk. To me that is the point of being an artist to balance this matter of dark and light heartedness until a day hopefully comes when we can let the light invade the corners where darkness still hides and not in an absolute sense either but in this state of constant growth and discovery. I have no idea what the human spirit is reaching for, but I know it reaches, it is ever expanding. I read something once that said the hope for humanity rests in our ability to take the good leave the bad. To leave our untruths behind and remind our children of their fallacies.

What got you into creating sounds and the style of music you make? For someone so young, you have been writing songs for many, many years now. How has that changed and progressed through the years? What are some of your most memorable moments?

I have forgotten who I was a few times now through it all because you have to pour everything you have into writing a song and sometimes when you show someone that part of you it somehow makes you doubt that it exists for a minute. Until the day that you rediscover it and it exists with double the intensity of its previous state because you have seen its opposite in yourself. It is like some quite moment when you are really in need and a song you have grown up listening to your whole life comes on, but all of the sudden in seems almost holy, ancient, paramount. I make mixtapes for friends all the time but sometimes I forget to label them. there was one such in my car and the last song was 'God Only Knows' by the Beach Boys. It was early morning and the guys in my band were all asleep. I can’t explain how I felt in that moment or how it feels to make music everyday. I am in awe of the beauty of this world. My music changes according to my ears I am just trying to be a good listener. I want to write songs that I feel need to be written.

Can you tell me about the recording and technique of Moondagger verses the home recording of Keepers? How did it feel to record with a full band? Is this a direction that will continue for you? What draws you to the sounds you concoct?

Moondagger was recorded in three-and-a-half days at Whiteroom Studios in Detroit, Michigan. It was very automatic as opposed to the material on Keepers. Most of it was written in this spurt a few weeks before we went into the studio. I usually am very detail orientated when it comes to songs but on Moondagger it all came out at once, partially because I could tell the guys what I wanted from the song and they would just play it. I feel like me and my band members are slowly becoming like an any colony that communicates telepathically with each other. I don’t know what direction we will head in next. We are working on two EPs right now and they are polar opposites. I usually start a song with a feeling about something I have read or a story someone told me and I just try to imagine what it would sound like musically.</span>

Moondagger is a celebration of the human race, and you have said that family and friends are very important to you. To me listening to something like this makes the human struggle worth it. Looking back, how do these songs and the lyrics reach out to you and your place on this planet?

I am just trying to make something that is going to inspire people to stick together. In these coming years as readily available fossil fuels start to run out and our leaders continue to live in a state of denial we will need each other more than anything else. We will need to be able to believe in the value of human life and in the strength of human resilience and spirit. In the song Moondagger I am begging myself and everyone to stop using each other for personal gain and to move on to some better way of trust and freedom. those words are so broad that they can almost negate themselves, we almost are afraid to use them, but I feel this pit in my stomach that longs for them to be true that looks back to virtue.

Detroit has such a bad reputation. Living in Detroit now, can you tell me good things about Detroit and why you decided to move there?

My brother has this painting called “the prettiest things hide in the darkest places.” If I had to explain the community and the people in Detroit I would sum it up with that title.

Can you talk a little bit about the song “Greens, Grays, and Nordics,” its classical liberal context (the idea of self and the concept to strive for a perfect society), as well as your fascination with feminism? To me, that song seems like a perfect example of the thought and determination you put into your songs on this album.

This song is funny. I took the title from a pastor I knew who had a vision and wrote a book about aliens being demons, but the topic is mainly used to explain that I am flying with these ideas that I have no answer to, I feel like only a collective effort of caring people working within the context of their local community can have any definite effect or impact. One of the lines says, “What can i sing brother what can I say to make you love one another.” I mean what will it take for people to lay down the privileges that separate them from others. I like feminist literature because women rule.

Boku No Hero Academia Chapter 258 SPOILERS

(I'M SO FUCKING TERRIFIED)

I have a really bad feeling about this.

We get a flashback to Hawks one week after the hospital tip. Twice is still going to Hawks for help with the whole liberation ideology thing.

Someone, idk who, is narrating about how it took Hawks a month to figure out the different ranks of PLF.

I don't like the fact that some of these guys are stronger than the heroes. Twice is the only one without a partner. THEY HAVE OTHER HEROES AMONG THEIR RANKS. How's that convo gonna go down when the to sides meet?

Hawks is giving some pointers on what Twice should say to the OG LA members while thinking about how royally fuck everyone is if the PLF makes the first move.

Apparently there's some tension going on cause some of the lower ranked members don't like the new ranking system very much. Hawks can use that to his advantage. Just subtly start some beef with in the ranks and watch the chaos unfold from the side lines.

Well isn't that just lovely.

The more I see All Might in these chapters, the more I feel like he's gonna die and that it's gonna be as horrible as Nighteye predicted it would be. And that scares me.

FuN. When Hawks says "he will take over" does he mean Shigaraki are Re-deastro? Cause if he's talking about Re-destro I think Shiggy would have something to say to that.

Oh.

Hawks was here thinking "Damn I need to watch out for Twice since he got over his mental issues and is super OP now." but after spending time with him he realised Twice is actually a pretty chill dude.

Does this mean Twice might get a shot at redemption? Probably not but a girl can hope.

So apparently during one of their tutoring sessions Twice let it slip that Shiggy was undergoing surgery to become super OP cause Hawks is such a nice and trustworthy guy and totally not a double agent or anything.

Anyway, Hawks somehow managed to relay that info to the heroes without getting caught or raising suspicion and now I'm thinking Hawks is probably gonna die. When the heroes show up at there front door they're gonna know it was Hawks who tipped them off.

He's gonna die. All Might is gonna die. There's no denying it now. Honestly with all these red flags I'd be surprised if he didn't die.

Also that kid holding an Endeavour doll but choosing to draw inspiration and confidence from All Might's statue is hilarious.

I swear to All Might if Aizawa or Mic die I'm going to fucking loose my shit.

Wait if Aizawa, Mic and the other U.A. hero course teachers are here then who's teaching the kids?

Never mind.

WHY ARE THEY BRINGING THE CHILDREN INTO THIS?!?!?!

They're evacuating the residents. Shit's about to go down.

DID THEY BRING THE WHOLE HEROICS COURSE INTO THIS?!?!? Cause I'm seeing faces I don't recognise. I see Nejire-chan but I don't see Suneater. Is he hanging back with Mirio and Eri? God this is gonna be an absolute train wreck, isn't it?

So, war is upon us. I have two theories on how this might go down.

While all the heroes/ heroes-in-training are in this city, some of the villains are gonna go after All Might at U.A and kill him while he's trying to defend some students, who end up dying anyway cause angst. The school won't have that many pros around since it looks like most of them are gonna be fighting the war, and Horikoshi has been pushing the "All Might is gonna die soon" narrative pretty fucking hard these last few chapters. Some students are gonna end up dying and Shinsou is gonna have a hero moment that, hopefully, won't end in him dying too.

The heroes evacuated the wrong city and the villains attack a different one. A shit ton of people die before the heroes turn up. Some of the kids end up dying and society completely loses faith in the heroes ability to protect them. Also Shigaraki kills All Might and Midoriya looses an arm.

But those are just theories! Manga theories!

Until next time
