Cologne-based That Night is finally back on Noorden with his new EP »Implause«
6 tracks between a chillaxed after-hour in the zen garden of Lawrence Lek and riding a white 1983 Ford Escort Cabrio on serpentine roads. Surrounded by a warm breeze, the endless sea, and a feeling that something bad is about to happen. Heavily inspired by Twin Peaks, Neue Helvetica, and B-Movie-Soundtracks.
For the limited 10-inch-vinyl, we teamed up with Bonn-based artist Arno Beck, who did the beautiful artwork and the Risograph-printing. The edition of 30 is numbered and signed by the artist.

Thomas Barrow is such a funny character, it’s like, man wants job security, proceeds to go about attempting to secure his job and land promotions in ways that will ensure his prompt termination. Somehow against all odds he continues to be rehired/accidentally promoted to everyone’s disbelief, including his own. Some suspect divine intervention is involved.
compilation i made of some particularly funny and silly max line deliveries (yes it’s all rob tinkler and william kasten) (yes it’s all screen recordings from my phone assembled in imovie)
had a conversation with one of my professors about achilles's physical description in the iliad and she said that the word used to describe achilles's hair, ξάνθος (xanthos, lit. "yellow"), is often translated as golden, tawny or auburn, but it can also mean "shining." we've talked in her class about how divinity in mortals is represented through their physical appearances. achilles's shining hair, then, is a representation of his demigod status: his divinity is literally shining on his head and flowing down his shoulders.
and i've been thinking about that a lot, and i realized that when achilles cuts his hair at patroclus's pyre, the narrative recognizes it as a signal that he will die soon. (he promised not to cut his hair until he returns to his homeland; when he cuts it at troy, we know that he will never go home.) but if his hair represents his immortal blood, then he is literally cutting away the divine parts of him before he dies. and it's interesting that xanthos signifies his demigodhood, because ichor runs gold.
(you may also recognize xanthos as another name for the river scamander, or as the name of that one horse that talks to achilles. it was a pretty versatile word.)
Everyone keeps discussing what names we should give to the new teachers but I think we’re sleeping on the opportunity to call this guy Employed Brendon. Like imagine you’re Unemployed Brendon and then suddenly you have a younger brother who’s also called Brendon except he’s more successful than you and now everyone calls him Brendon and starts calling you Unemployed Brendon instead to differentiate you and you absolutely hate it but you can’t get anyone to just call you Brendon because that’s your brother’s name now
and you still can’t find anyone to publish your novel
post-war crack au with Obito, where for some reason he attends kage council as Kakashi's adviser/guard, and each of their meetings turns into a buffoonery with Obito's stand-up on the theme "reasons why y'all suck."
Reminder to all those out there that a ‘crack-pot’ theory refers to theory’s that are mostly built on vibes. Dadodile has canon evidence and seeded foreshadowing.
Crocodad/dadodile/crocomom, whatever you wanna call it, is not a crack-pot theory and if you want to pretend it isn’t plausible that’s just you ignoring evidence at this point.
