Notes on The World’s First Ever Monster Truck Front Flip:

What if Lizzy and Genie refer to Thin Lizzy and Bowie's Jean Genie?

You and Lizzy in the summertime // Wrappin' my tiny mind round a lullaby

Tlsp, NME interview 19/1/08

Plus: Alex in 2018 debunked the Lana del Ray association: In an interview with Beats 1 at the Osheaga festival on 4th August, Alex Turner debunked this rumour stating, “No, its not [a reference to Lana del Ray]… it’s an objective correlative.” (Genius)

And... sweet info: "The Boys Are Back In Town" was the first song played post gig during The Car tour 🥹

You and Genie wearing Stetson hats // Tryna gain access to my lily pad...

I'm just a bad girl tryna be good // I've got a laser guidin' my love that I cannot adjust

Verse 1 and Chorus of Jean Genie, from Bowie's Aladdin Sane:

Genius notes are very interesting: "Apart from just the part of a chimney that sticks out above a roof? Possibly he’s talking about dicks. We already know that the Jean Genie spends a lot of time “on his back,” and “chimney stacks” are pretty phallic as images go. Plus, the name “Jean Genie” has been associated with the (gay, male) French existentialist Jean Genet. So the lyrics might be suggesting here that Jean Genie likes the D. Or it could be a nonsense phrase. It definitely wouldn’t be the first or last time Bowie stuffed his songs full of nonsense phrases."

Alex and Miles LOVE Aladdin Sane:

1. The singer also revealed why he’s had enough of David Bowie’s track ‘Time’. “I’ve been trying to fix a humming in my home stereo – it’s in the right speaker,” he said. “David Bowie’s album ‘Aladdin Sane’ has been sitting on the turntable so I’ve been playing ‘Time’ – the first song on the second side – whenever I’ve tried to solve the problem. I must have heard that song thousands of times this week… I’ll never be able to listen to it again.” NME, 19/3/13

2. AT: I love the whole Ziggy Stardust period, with “Hang on to yourself”, “Five Years” and “Rock ’n’ Roll Suicide”. But it’s true that “Aladdin Sane” is incredible, it’s got “Drive-in Saturday” and, above all, the grandiose “Lady Grinning Soul”. X

So, what if Lizzy and Jeanie invoke a certain mood or memory in the narrator's life? Who/What are they?

* ps. regarding milex references in WFEMTFF, "in the mood for love" is for miles and I will die on this hill !!

there are a lot of very important character moments and epiphanies in Little Green Men for both Mulder and Scully, but i find in the end the moment that plays in my head most often and gives me all sorts of Feelings and Emotions is when they're running away from the military at the end and haring away in a stolen truck, and while Mulder's taking them crashing down the mountainside, he shoves Scully down on the seat beside him and she lets him. And he keeps trying to protect her head and neck with his hand. Which she also doesn't fight off.

It's just so much, so intimate, she went to collect her partner and found him passed out and recently probably delirious but she doesn't hesitate for a second to get in the truck and make their escape, blindly crunched down in the seat with his hand on the back of her neck as they speed through the hills, without protest.

Makes me completely unhinged.

#(i mean it's also possible that she doesn't know how easy it is to flip one of those trucks. but still. staggering levels of trust.) #msr #txf s2 #little green men by beloved

We never got to hear Alex sing this part of ‘The World’s First Ever Monster Truck Front Flip’

Which first of all he sings really beautifully, and secondly is such an absurd line when you take it at face value. Something I love about TBHC is that there are so many instances where the lyrics sound really nonsensical but if you take a step back the sentiment becomes clear.

This line in particular is so emotive because of the way it links love with destruction, and there’s this helplessness about it too. Like this person can’t help but destroy the things that they love because they love so intensely. And that destruction makes them bad but they have always wanted to be good.

If I’m being honest this song is probably the one I struggle most to understand but I’ve always loved these lines.

the truck my parents crashed and almost died in 2k11 + the skid marks from them veering off the road

#bonus info: my dad went through that windshield and that's his shoe in the last picture #my mom went through the passenger side window #it's all crushed on one side because the whole truck flipped #my dad has a scar across his face from it and he had to be put in a helicopter #april.fuck #sorry for thinking my own parents car crash is so cool #phg

tbh I thought Jamie was gonna use that cartwheel and hurl himself into a back handspring right then and there -

#I think he could do it #I thought he was going to launch himself into flips right there #he seems like the type that can do a back handspring #it’s his party truck #Ted Lasso #Jamie tartt

If you get this, answer w/ three random facts about yourself and send it to the last seven blogs in your notifs. anon or not, doesn’t matter, let’s get to know the person behind the blog!

1. I used to give blood regularly, but my iron levels dipped so now it's pretty infrequent

2. Both of my parents are librarians

3. There is an hour-long stretch of highway in Canada that has it out for me, and I am SO glad I have zero reason to drive it ever again

#things that went wrong on that highway: #flipped my car a full 360° #car broke down and had to hitchhike into town (which is a long story all on its own) #hit a bear #got stuck in the ditch #got pulled over cause i let my tabs expire and had to wait for a tow truck to drag my ass back into town while taking the car to impound #i wasnt even up there that often but 7/10 times i was there? something went wrong

every song on tranquility base hotel and casino that isn't like. the title track and four out of five is underrated, if you ask me

#no one is BUT. #monster truck flip... golden trunks... science fiction... american sports... my very best girls #and in the grand scheme of things #every song is underrated because its some of their best music but isn't their most popular #just talking out of my ass now

They put me downstairs at work :(

All thumb healing progress was undone in one evening apparently. It actually felt mostly fine on Sunday, until after work. They put me in an area I'm rarely sent to on Sunday evening, and I had to do a ton of heavy lifting. My arms are sore but it's like a post-exercise soreness (painful, but still very normal). My thumb felt fine allllllll day today, until I started to draw. Even with breaks, it still feels super tense, and now it's hurting even when I'm not using it. I'm gonna take that as a sign to stop for the night lol

I have one drawing I want to finish before school starts back up, because I'm worried it'll distract me if I don't have it done before then. Of course, if my hand prevents from finishing it, I'll manage, but that'd suck :')

On a lighter tone I feel very strongly about this cat in a blanket I found, I don't know why it amuses me so much but it's such a mood

#for those of you who dont know; i work at a package sorting/distribution center #I'm normally in the small package team where people who can't constantly lift stuff go (i have double curve scoliosis and back hurty) #but they moved me downstairs to a truck loading area to help the people that are normally there #most packages come from a series of overhang chutes and I didn't have to do anything with them #but everything thats too big/heavy/oddly shaped comes down a seperate larger belt system #these have to be manually sorted #my job was to take a barcode scanner and find a barcode on each package #then a little printer i was holding would make a sticker w/ that package's destination after i scanned its barcode #the thing is #those packages got up to 80 lbs and sometimes the barcode label was on the very bottom #i had to flip quite a few packages in a hurry because that belt does not stop while I'm printing the stickers #i guess between holding the barcode scanner and flipping over ridiculously heavy boxes #i completely destroyed my thumb again #splatoon didn't give me a problem today but i guess i dont really use my thumb much for that game #and even still #i took a whole four hour break between that and trying to draw #and i didnt even draw for that long #but now moving my thumb hurts worse than it did last week #idk what im gonna do when school starts :/ #this is where i'd say 'crying and sobbing atm' but im actually starting to tear up holy shit #wanted to post a drawing tonight but i cant finish it :') gonna grab some chocolate and curl up into a ball instead #will also try icing my hand tonight #i have also memorized those hand exercises and they are my lifeline right now

i am just so earnestly curious. i read the books a long time ago, i am struggling to put myself in the shoes of someone who doesn't know what's coming. the latest promo that has the sinister projection of L: does this come across as menacing to people who are book-innocent? do those audience members have anxiety about him showing up in paris?

i know he was fucking excoriated by a lot of viewers for season 1 and ep 5 especially (no matter one's experience with the canon), and a lot of people now despise the character.

but does like. anyone actually have concern abt the guy showing up and making trouble? it seems to be the reaction they want people to have, I'm curious if it's working?

#yes i'd love your thoughts (but ofc i am trying so hard to keep this out of the tags aha) #I feel like they gotta run this thing on like two different tracks: #appeasing the longtime fans who know what's coming but intriguing those new to the story #and this latest promo along with the chair photo from earlier seem to be directing ppl to be Concerned #as someone who can't unknow what's coming i'm curious how their choice to double down on making L unlikable is coming off #bc lbr he's at the center of this property and at this point they've cultivated a significant portion of audience who #wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire #and i hope they have some god-tier writing in store to hang a sharp u-turn on this massive semi-truck of hate? #i appreciate they have to meld a property she nearly retconned from book 1 to the rest of it and #the writers made a daring choice to demonize ldl and query ldpdls memory #i'm assuming for maximum angst and to make it all creatively come together #but framing him as the biggest Big Bad for s2 is a lil odd to me when you have the obviously sinister TdV crew *right there* #does he really come off as scary to people? #between the threat of ldl and the TdV are newcomers meant to see A as ldpdls soft(TM) savior love interest? #lol it's so frustrating not being able to see this innocent of the knowledge of events...to get how it's coming off to other viewers #i can't unknow the fucked-up flip side to this story #but i am v curious!
