Taipei Houston - Once Bit Never Bored Even though it was just about two decades ago, the garage-rock revival feels a lot older than it really was. I remember when indie-rock dominated the rock charts in the mid-00s, and that’s when it really peaked. Bands like MGMT, The White Stripes, The Black Keys, The Killers, The Strokes, Phoenix, and many more bands were huge. It all came tumbling down eventually, namely that people were just sick of it, and a lot of hip-hop, pop, and R&B ended up becoming more popular. History always kinds of repeats itself, because now we’ve got a revival of rock and guitar-based music getting popular in the mainstream again, thanks to artists like Willow and MGK, although I can’t stand the latter whatsoever, who are playing pop-punk and rock-based music. It’s back, but a lot of the heavy hitters are back, too, such as The Arctic Monkeys, Phoenix, The Killers, The Black Keys, and a lot more. Since then, we’ve also had a few bands come up that have a similar sound to these bands, such as Royal Blood and Rival Sons, but they aren’t household names. We also have some very new bands, and if they play their cards right, they could be utterly huge. The band I’m talking about in question is Taipei Houston, comprised of brothers Myles and Layne Ulrich (yes, that Ulrich, of tennis stardom and Metallica fame) is making some waves with their debut album, Once Bit Never Bored. These two brothers don’t sound like they’re cut from the same cloth as their father, because they have a completely different sound. Instead of being in the heavy metal world, these guys are a blues and garage-rock band, even only including bass, drums, and vocals. Despite that, this album has some of the best and fuzziest riffs I’ve heard all year. It’s interesting how this band has a very nostalgic sound, harkening back to the early 00s garage-rock revival, but it sounds fantastic. This album is only 32 minutes, but it’s so quick, you won’t even realize it’s done. A lot of the songs do sound similar, and its repetitive sound is one of my small issues with it, but man, this album rules. It’s a catchy little blues-rock / garage-rock album, even if it’s nothing unique or special, it just shows great promise for these two brothers. The vocals are great, and kind of remind me of Jack White from The White Stripes at times, or just that general indie / garage-rock singer voice that all of these bands had back then, but also being interesting and good, versus generic and boring. The instrumentation is a ton of fun, and this album has some great riffs and hooks, even if they’re nothing unique, and they kind of repeat themselves over its 32-minute runtime. I’ve been playing this album a lot, because it’s so much fun. There’s a lot of energy here, and I can appreciate an album with a lot of energy, even if it doesn’t reinvent the wheel. This album doesn’t, and it kind of leans into its nostalgic sound a little too much at times, but it still works well, because it’s a focused and quick album that really catches your attention. I’d recommend it if you want some slick, fun, and catchy indie / blues-rock. I don’t it will end up in the top ten of my yearend list, but it’ll be on the list somewhere, that’s how much I absolutely enjoy this thing.

so ive been a fan of danganronpa for a while now, i think i got into it late 2018, and basically since i got up to chapter 2 of thh togami became my favourite character and he's been my fave ever since, and much of my time was spent largely thinking about it on my own. and due to that i was stuck in my own head with very little fandom content to supply my mind. so because of this there was a time where i had went through all of togami's main ships and when i realised i had exhausted all the content for that ship i would move on. during all my time i ended up at one point or another shipping togami with all the survivors, a couple characters from the main game, and even an oc, but not once have i ever shipped him with toko. and i think thats hilarious. like even i, who was starving for content, didn;t touch it with a 10 foot pole

#may.txt #do NOT come after me okay most of this was when i was like 14 and 15 #i actually do remember shipping togiri very early on #after i had gotten bored with naegami and how it was basically togamis only big ship #so i at least had good taste with that #togakure is still a little bit funny #and togahina is funny specifically for me as i see them hooking up once because asahinas questioning her sexuality #and togami is the most girlish looking man she has access to #and togami is lonely because naegiri are dating and hes jealous #but they both immediately feel weird after #comedy gold #and also canon compliant #maybe one day i will release my very embarrasing and cringy art of togami x oc #but maybe it should never be seen by human eyes again

i finished making chapter 7 of my comic and immediately my entire routine went to shambles cause i don't know what to do with myself anymore. girlies i'm so bored

#not really a vent post <3 i'm vibing i'm just sooo bored #like. ok. my main goal right now is to submit an application to a grocery store #i am taking this with ultra super tiny baby steps. if i don't i'll start sobbing and never do it #so i'm spending like 30 minutes max on this a day #there's so many more hours than that in a day and i don't know what to do with it #i do have other projects i should be working on *cough* getting my comic website built *cough*#but because the job shit is the Main Project my brain is like oh no no i can't do that c: that can't be done on the same day as job days!#cause that's how i handle comics and the other stuff i want to work on.#i don't typically do side projects on the same day as my main project that'd be wild that's too much they all get their own days #and now because i don't have Comic Days i don't feel like there's a deadline for me to do my fun stuff #so i'm not nearly as motivated to do the fun stuff #i am Also a little bit in an art block (no ideas) so i probably Should step back from art a bit and give that time #but i don't DO ANYTHING ELSE!!!! art is 90% of my life!!!!!#and the days i don't do art is usually when i know i shouldn't do art that day for the sake of my health #i LIKE when video games are a once a week thing it becomes a special lil treat for meeee #but now that's the only thing i Can do with my time and i ??????????????????????????????#i can't even be like oh haha i can write stuff instead! i have comic script AND video game script to write!#that doesn't solve the problem i can't start doing that until like 10 pm or else my eyes will be strained the rest of the day #i've been running out of youtube videos for weeks already so that's not anything #and i don't like watching tv/movies #literally what do i even do with myself #god i hope i get this job so i can actually do things again. not a sentence i ever thought i'd say

You know, I have to finally haul my ass to the arcade, that opened in one of malls in my city two years ago, and get a membership card. They have a shitload of games there including rhythm ones. I love rhythm games. 💜

#I have a nice public transport connection to that mall so maybe I can even go there to play on my off days when I'm bored hehe #I've never been to an arcade though... I'm a bit scared :<#Hakanate once said

there's so many popular repetitive video games that seem so boring to play, but then I watch people stream them with a group of friends, and they make it seem so fun just because the people playing are so lively and goofy and funny. I want that. I want to be part of a group of streamers or at least group of friends that make receptive and otherwise boring games fun and hilarious. a group that's not boring, serious, competitive. one that cares more about having fun and laughing than completing the video game objective 😭

#like the currenr one lethal company #it doesnt look fun at all and looks like it would get boring fast. UNLESS you have hilarious friends to laugh with #which i lack. i dont have enough friends and most people i know and would play co op games are too serious and boring #people probably think the same of me. im generally quiet and confused when playing games and bad at them #usually people get mad at me for being bad or goofing around so its never fun. but the fun people never invite me #probably because they thjnk im the boring one. but i absorb energy like a sponge!!!!! be silly and funny and i will too!#i really need a group of people with great silly fun energy who i csn feed off of. i miss laughing. i need to laugh. i never laugh anymore😐#lee rambles #every time i tried playing with people i know I honestly got so bored. I feel bad because they're the only ones nice enough to play with me.#but they're too serious and not funny. so I haven't played with them in like a year at least and am afraid to ask lmao #why do the silly fun people avoid me and only the serious boring people would agree...i need an energy boost #i need a person to be my battery. where do i get a battery #want to play l4d2 again. its been a while. its so hard to fill the lobby and the couple people that used to play with me arent funny 😅#if i could get a group of silly funny weirdos together then id try lethal company. but i wont try with boring groups #there's so many games i bought to play with people and got ditched that could use a goofy group too. sighs.#why am i still rambling. i dont even have the energy to speak to multiple people at once and play a game #but maybe that's why i need a battery #anyway i kinda really miss doing silly goofy rp and regular gaming hasnt been able to replace the laughter that brought me 😭😭#i need a good laugh. cant remember last time i laughed until i cried. laughing makes me feel good for a bit sighs. someone make me laugh pls
