*spelling words out so my knight doesn’t get too excited* I’ve been thinking of sending him on a Q-U-E-S-T to save a M-A-I-D-E-N from a D-R-A-G-O-N. He’s been a very good boy lately.

Ludwig and Serena Göransson on Delroy Lindo and Bobby Rush.

"In the scene where Delta Slim (Delroy Lindo) is playing harmonica, we had a blues legend, Bobby Rush [come in]. Serena called him the night before; he’s 94 years old and was touring in Seattle. She was like, “Come to the set, we’re shooting the scene tomorrow,” so he gets on a plane from Seattle to Chicago to New Orleans and gets there in time. Delroy shoots the scene, and he’s holding the harmonica. We have the extras standing in a circle, and Bobby Rush, the 94-year-old blues musician, is sitting on a chair. You can barely see his hair in the footage, but he’s playing the harmonica. Sammie is playing the guitar, and Delroy is watching Bobby play."-Ludwig Göransson. "Delroy and Bobby shared some intimate stories. They have twin souls. Somehow, they were connected in an hour. In that scene, they’re looking at each other playing: Delroy is feeling out what Bobby is doing, Bobby’s looking at what Delroy is doing, and they created this thing together."-Serena Göransson.

Abstract

Cavefish are of considerable interest owing to the remarkable adaptations for surviving in harsh subterranean conditions. These adaptations, often described as constructive traits or regressive features, reflect trade-offs in metabolic requirements and energy utilization in response to life in darkness. In this study, we describe two new cavefish species, Triplophysa yangi sp. nov. and Triplophysa wenshanensis sp. nov., from karst subterranean rivers in Yunnan Province, China.  Triplophysa yangi is distinguished from its congeners by its bilaterally expanded anterior swim bladder chambers, which protrude from the enlarged bony capsule, distending the lateral body wall and becoming externally visible. Additionally, it has highly developed pectoral and pelvic fins with filamentous extensions.  Triplophysa wenshanensis can be identified by its nearly cone-shaped head, triangular head profile, and light brown to flesh pink body colour with faint brown blotches. Molecular phylogenetic analysis places both species in the hypogean group of Triplophysa, increasing the number of cavefish species in this genus from 39 to 41. The most distinctive feature of T. yangi, its expanded anterior swim bladder chambers protruding beyond the enlarged bony capsules, might represent an innovative stygomorphic trait among Chinese cavefish. This trait is hypothesized to be associated with a unique energy-saving buoyancy mechanism, crucial for the ability of the species to remain suspended and survive in perpetual darkness.
