everything about the Toymaker in this bit cracks me up;;; his innocent little 'oh?' face. his fake awe as he pretends to not know who John Logie Baird is. his ridiculous eyebrow quirk. god he's the worst 😂💖💖💖

Please don't tell me no one submitted Japan for this tournament (I'm unwell - I really learned about this tournament too late). I understand if you're not looking to publish an ask like this because we can't vote in their favour anyway, but can we collectively look at them for a second:

Sorry yeah they were definitely one of the bands I was expecting to be submitted but then they just weren’t? Honestly me and Gremlin are considering doing this again because we’re missing a lot of bands

#Japan #💖

Something about the idea that voting for president only matters if you live in a swing state, and that all the people in blue states or red states can indulge themselves in principled nonparticipation because the outcomes are preordained, strikes me as akin to playing with fire.

Is it really coherent to say "both sides are awful, write in Mickey Mouse or burn your ballot or just stay home and get drunk, unless you live in Pennsylvania, in which case maybe consider taking one for the team and compromising yourself by voting for the lesser evil?" Is that really the message that will lead to a preferable outcome?

What it sounds like to me is a sign that 1) you take your local electorate for granted, and 2) you see avoiding the worst case scenario as somebody else's problem.

I remember when Florida was a swing state. I also remember when Pennsylvania wasn't.

Public speaking is actually really easy if you don't respect a single soul in that room. I've had an incredibly easy time delivering speeches when I hated everybody I saw and they all thought I did amazing because my disdain was read as confidence. I don't have any tips for you I'm just telling you a fact

they're really cute when they're not destroying the universe

Round one

The Residents

Formed in: 1969

Genres: Art rock, industrial, electronic, avant-pop

Lineup: Hardy Fox - keyboards, production, composer

All other members have remained anonymous by choice, instead performing with masks on. There are four active Residents in live shows, though it is unknown how many have joined or left the group or been active at any given time.

Albums from the 80s:

Commercial Album (1980)

Diskomo / Goosebump EP (1980)

Mark of the Mole (1981)

The Tunes of Two Cities (1982)

Intermission EP (1982)

(they did a lot more like A LOT)

Propaganda: These weirdos are almost certainly going to lose in round one. A group of anonymous avant garde weirdos who wear eyeball masks while playing? Not exactly most folks' idea of "hot." I just submitted them to hopefully interest a few people in checking out their strange and sometimes wonderful oveure.

Hanoi Rocks 

Formed in: They were formed in 1979 (Razzle joined in ‘82)

Genres: Glam punk, glam rock

Lineup: Michael Monroe- vocals 

Andy McCoy- lead guitar 

Nasty Suicide- rhythmic guitar 

Razzle- drums

Sami Yaffa- bass

Albums from the 80s: 

Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes, Hanoi Rocks (1981)

Oriental Beat (1982)

Self Destruction Blues (1982)

Back to Mystery City (1983)

Two Steps from the Move (1984)

Propaganda: a criminally underrated band whose musical influenced many popular bands like GNR. Also they are all so pretty! Like Micheal Monroe is absolutely gorgeous and is giving me complete gender envy, if they get out first round I’m going to cry.

#the residents don't deserve to go down like this :')

Round one

Kraftwerk 

Formed in: 1970

Genres: Electronic rock, synth pop

Lineup: Ralf Hütter - vocals, synth, keyboard

Florian Schneider - vocoder, synths

Karl Bartos - electronic drum

Albums from the 80s: 

Computer world (1981)

electric cafe (1986)

Propaganda: 

The Go Go’s

Formed in: 1978

Genres: new wave, power pop, pop rock, punk rock 

Lineup: Belinda Carlisle- vocals 

Jane Weidlin- rhythm guitar

Charlotte Caffey- lead guitar

Gina Schock- drums

Kathy Valentine- bass

Albums from the 80s: 

Beauty and the Beat (1981)

Vacation (1982) 

Talk Show (1984)

Propaganda: While their biggest hits were very bubblegum and upbeat, these girls came up in the LA Punk scene and had the bite to back that up. Rolling Stone ranked the Hardest Partying Bands and The Go Go's came in 3rd, right behind Mötley Crüe and Led Zeppelin. Their songs are certified bops and great to blast on a road trip and their style was pure LA Mall Rat which, frankly, still iconic.

#genuinely did not expect how this is going but i guess I'm too synth oriented #(is Japan not in this tournament - did no one think to submit them???) #(i learned about this tournament too late. Japan is *it*)

So I've been making marionette puppets of my neighbors (I'm taking a class) and let me tell you my landlord/building manager was SUPER not prepared to see the wooden version of him (he lives on my floor) when he came in to fix my stove

Anon no offense but I think I would call the police if I found out one of my neighbours was making wooden puppets of me without my knowledge
