Chuck Chillout 40th Radio Anniversary Party with Mr. Cheeks, Peter Gunz, CL Smooth, and more at Crotona Park

On Thursday, August 1st, SummerStage celebrated Chuck Chillout’s 40th anniversary of being on radio airwaves with a show at Crotona Park in Bronx, NY. Unfortunately, Chillout was ill and couldn’t attend his party but the show went on as scheduled with Ralph McDaniels (of Video Music Box) hosting the event that featured DJ sets from MU and Funk Flex, and live sets from Joeski Love, Busy Bee Starski, Nine, CL Smooth, Peter Gunz, and Mr. Cheeks

I covered the show for Impose Magazine and the full gallery is now available here.

Guys I have another crazy theory

If Charles dies during chapter 3----

which is something that CAN happen,

(Whit and Charles.....

The chances of them both dying in one chapter are small

The chances of both of dying are good enough

The chances of one of them dying and one surviving are good enough

Personally I've death flagged Whit

I get this feel that Charles has a 50/50 on being a victim, and a survivor.

Whit is chapter 3, 4, and 5 death flag coded to me

additionally he's traitor (red flag) and mastermind (red flag) coded also!

god why am I so certain he will die if I can't imagine his body in front of my eyes?

J has a chapter 4 feel

Arturo chapter 3 feel

Veronika chapter 3 feel

Ace chapter 3 feel

David chapter 5 feel

Teruko survivor feel

Eden survivor feel, chapter 3 feel, chapter 5 feel?

perhaps 6

(Arei had a chapter 2 victim feel, though throughout the chapter I've switched between thinking like 10 people had death flags.

I know nothing)

I can't take a feel on Rose at all

perhaps she's a survivor

I don't have a feel of Nico at all.

they've literally doomed themself though.

might be a survivor.

Levi has always had a chapter 5 death feel to me

Hu Jing chapter 2 (3, 4? early early early... it was SUPPOSED to be early, I think I'll stand with chapter 2.

chapter 3 has too many other feels on it.

chapter 4 has too many other feels on it.

(maybe chapter 4)

fuck goddamnit she's supposed to be dead, to my own understanding, but everyone else fits better)

Whit could like

Like the person Whit could strive to talk to could be David Chiem?

I sound insane to my own ears.

(Nobody sane would want to talk to that man)

Think about it, Charwhit happened like this

Charles is a dickcunt to everyone around him with a stick up his dick

Whit is a chillout guy with a knack for joking around, and getting annoyed with people who think they're horseshit

Charles loves his personal space

Whit ALSO loves Charles personal space and latches himself onto him, to make jokes and make fun of how he seriously thinks he is so superior and all.

Charles is so unbelievable.

He's like.

A guy!

A specific kind of guy.

Whit practically attached himself to Charles hip to have fun, and humble him (is the feel I get)

They both slowly learn about each other via forced proximity

The THING, that turns them both from (man, fuck that guy) to (that is... my closest friend)

is that they're both decent people.

Whit helps out someone who is suffering, gives him alibi, speaks out for him during a high stress situation, makes sure he's decent

Charles APPRECIATES THAT, going as far as to agree to Whit saying they are friends

I don't remember if he did that, but I think he softened his attitude towards him too?

He also CHANGED. for the better.

he understood the importance of relying on someone.

something HAPPENS to them, and the way they deal with that is by helping each other (when no one else would)

Like they're besties rn, literal soulmates (platonic or otherwise)

As a charwhit shipper?

They're my kissing rats, in my headspace I take little figurines of them and have them kiss

I imagine something like lazy mornings, where Whit makes himself some gross type of coffee to wake up and they're in the kitchen and Charles kind of just grabs him like a lover would and spins him around and they're happy

And I imagine Charles laying on the bed with Whit and sort of cuddling one of his thighs to be affectionate while Whit like.

Relaxes? I unno, something something.

Just chillout afternoons

I imagine Charles spooning Whit with his head on top of Whit's hands wrapped around the waist while Whit leans back on him in bed

Watching some kind of movie on a laptop.

Not a horror one!

They would have a feel of a horror one if they weren't.

Them!

Charles is not suitable for blood and gore and bodies and etc

Whit is a comedy type of guy (romcom esp)

I've no headcanons what kinda movie it would be, but yeah yeah yeah

I imagine a side hug on a bench in a nice park

God I'm like

Not a Whitvid shipper or a Charuko shipper, but the latter one

latter.. ladder? someone translate the word latter into actual english word.... what do I put to make the sound in my head make sense linguistically?

is canon to me also 🙏

happy day to all those that celebrate, let's have a welcome powercouple solves a trial time while David has an emotional constipation! ~ ✨

Truly the fangan of all time!

Whitvid is not canon to me yet sorry, they just don't have a lovers type of feel (yet, perhaps we still have 4 more chapters to go let's see if they're making out by then /j

I'm sorry I'm sorry

cacklingggggg

but like as I was saying

I don't quite believe my thoughts YET, but

Well David is

He has a Charles feel to me

I've already classified him and Charles in the same group!!

The group name is called "people with superiority complex who are behind on life"

David cannot for the life of him think for himself in a way that MAKES SENSE, he yaps and yaps and yaps and yaps and is like

Xander Xander Xander Xander, he stabbed you

you should have known he'd stab you

"Xander stabbed me, he is a bad person.

what kind of divine REASON could he possibly have for hurting me? for wanting to kill me?"

"oh my god shut up 😭" <- David Chiem impression

(nobody would have ever hurt you baby if you didn't bring him up in the first place)

(I know you want to say everything you've never gotten the CHANCE to, but this man is NOT PREPARED for people speaking back!)

like Charles can't cook, or do basic self care shit

David can't get a hold on himself nearby people who irritate him/say things that are TRUE that hurt him deep inside

Neither of them know a couple of things about ~the life basics~

can't keep his mouth shut (girl it's running)

acts like he thinks he's superior enough to just shut everyone who ever wrongs him down

Their lifestyle ensured that

Also David literally speaks down to people like, all the time

Like once again.

again and again and again.

nobody would ever want to search him out.

I'm insane for even theorizing if not suggesting this.

This man....

Needs to be humbled <3

And who better to teach him a lesson than Hu

the guy he hates for existing Let's be real Hu could try, but she would never be able to get through to David

Theorizing potential future dynamic between David and Whit I do not believe in Charwhit seperating early on, or Whit surviving chapter 3 <- princess rat emoji

guys guys guys....

👉👈

I didn't... like I wasn't crude enough right?

I love ranting and I love like... saying stuff

I didn't come off strong in a bad way right?

you like to read What I'm saying?

what I'm thinking?

I didn't hurt anyone here?

If I did anything to hurt anyone I'm sorry

It GENUINELY escaped my mind

I don't know if I've said anything really bad :(

I don't detect myself having said anything bad, but a heavy rant on a drdt related topic has me having flashbacks

sorry sorry!

it's just I'm the type of person to say my opinion on my own character analysis

I hope I didn't do anything wrong to anyone ... :(

Sigh, okay! okay.

Are we good? Drdt fandom, we alright?

Doing great, no hard feelings?

Okay! Okay!

I can do this

SHADOW MONSTER - an Astos playlist

...for when you need to spend about an hour rotating that guy in your mind at top speed, or at least a little faster than chillout speed.

(YouTube playlist here) • (tracklist etc. below the cut)

Needed a playlist I could Think About Astos To while doing chores or whatever & it turned out I had the ammunition I needed to be kinda picky, so I'm sharing it here with all my comrades-in-Astos-scholarship, too! You know, in case you also need some music to Think About Astos To. Which seems possible-to-likely, I think.

I have only included tracks that are reasonably well balanced for Normal Listening (just please forgive me for the PS2 synth horns in "finish the promise" if you can find it in your heart). Also, if you use the YT playlist, Man Human is shorter than it should be, so listen to it twice if you want.

ACT I: IMPETUS

Creep City • Jake Shears I said I'd hang on for the ride / now I'm hanging on for dear life / …is that a real knife? バケモノ信者 (Bakemono Shinja / Monster Believer) • MAIKI-P 人の顔した　バケモノさ / 気づけば僕も　バケモノさ • hito no kao shita bakemono sa / kizukeba boku mo bakemono sa it's a monster with a human face / and now that I think about it, I'm a monster, too 心臓 (Shinzō / Heart[1]) • TOOBOE 蘇ってしまうよ　貴方の為なら幾らでも / 間違いも愛せるよ　馬鹿なもんでさ / 生き返ってしまうよ　貴方がくれた命だから • yomigaette shimau yo anata no tame nara ikura demo / machigai mo aiseru yo baka na monde sa / ikikaette shimau yo anata ga kureta inochidakara for you, I'd revive again and again / loving even the mistakes, fool that I am / I'll come back to life because it's the life you gave me

ACT II: THE PROCESS

Bleed it Out • Linkin Park half the words don't mean a thing / and I know that I won't be satisfied Man Human • Denki Groove for Devilman Crybaby Just One Yesterday • Fall Out Boy I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way / still, I'd trade all my tomorrows…

ACT III: MADNESS

Décolleté • Kenshi Yonezu 兎角疲れました / 数えるから直ぐに消えて • tokaku tsukaremashita / kazoeru kara sugu ni kiete at any rate, I'm exhausted / I'll count, so hurry up and disappear [2] うみなおし (Uminaoshi / Rebirth[3]) • Maretu 君は何も悪くないぜ / (多分) • kimi wa nani mo warukunai ze / (tabun) you've done nothing wrong / (probably) 空想メソロギヰ (Kuusou Mesorogiwi / Fantastical Mesology) • Yousei Teikoku for Future Diary (See [4] below.)

ACT IV: FOR WHAT

A Good Song Never Dies • Saint Motel it just reminds you of where you were / the first time it made you cry / the first time you felt alive… SHADOW MONSTER • Toki Asako 探しものは踊らなきゃ見つからない • sagashimono wa odoranakya mitsukaranai if we don't dance, we won't find what we're looking for.

ACT V: RESOLVE

JUMPER • CAPSULE anger stress and secrets they won't break you wake up put aside you(')r(e) feeling nothing freely speed up landing stepping jumping jump Leave The Light On • Overcoats what if I don't make it home / you're not there, and the light's not on

ACT VI: THE END

still feel. • half•alive when it's hopeless, I start to notice / that I still feel alive finish the promise • MOTOO FUJIWARA for Tales of the Abyss White Light • Superfly for Tales of Zestiria 正解なんてない 間違いなんてない / 塗り替えてゆけ 在るべき世界へ • seikai nante nai machigai nante nai / nurikaete yuke arubeki sekai e there's no such thing as right; there's no such thing as wrong / remake this world into what it should have been

( NOTES )

[1] - Specifically the anatomical term. Metaphorical uses of this word do seem to be a thing, but skew more towards meaning something like "courage" (think "guts" or "spine") as opposed to 心 (kokoro) on its own, which is used for something more like "essence", "spirit", "soul". Incidentally, I highly… HIGHLY recommend watching the MV for this one (Check the YT link before the readmore)! [2] - Eternal plug for vgperson, who has been my source for Kenshi Yonezu lyrics since something like 2010, and is the backbone of society. Check out the full translation there (ctrl+F the title!) to get a feel for this song's whole... vibe (which I'd describe as a very specific flavor of "fuck. god damn it. whatever; leave me alone," which of course is why it's here). [3] - There's a footnote on the Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki page for this song that conveys something interesting about the title; it says: "'Uminaoshi' isn’t a word that’s typically used to mean 'rebirth'; rather, it is a compound made up of a word meaning 'to give birth' and a word that carries the sense of doing something over to fix mistakes, because you messed it up the last time," which is fun, I think. [4] - This song's lyrics are poetic in a way that makes them difficult to interpret as-written, let alone translate in a way that makes literally any sense at all. The official MV does have English subtitles that are NOT auto-translated, though. Those are the most coherent piece of information I can give you (check the YT link before the readmore!) re: why the Future Diary OP is even in this playlist, except for this statement: it's about breaking free of a time loop that's being treated like a game in some way by The Entity In Charge Of It. (And also, it sounds like... you know, like the way that it sounds.)

Bang Bang - "Bye Bye Blues" Hi:Fidelity Lounge - Volume One: Subterranean Soundtracks Song released in 1997. Compilation released in 1999. Downtempo / Trip Hop

Bang Bang is the alias of French multi-instrumentalist Xavier Jamaux, who basically has two claims to fame in his career: currently, he is a successful film composer, and long before that, he was also in a high school indie band in the mid-80s called Orange, with Jean-Benoit Dunckel and Nicolas Godin, both of whom would then later go on to form the electronic downtempo/prog/pop band AIR.

After Orange broke up, Jamaux put out some stuff with an experimental new wave group called Persona and Spleen Ideal. Then following that, he and fellow band member Marc Collin formed a trio called Indurain, which was then whittled down to a duo and became Ollano. And after Ollano released their 1996 debut album, Jamaux finally launched his own solo career as Bang Bang. '97 would see his debut, a 12-inch on Bob Sinclar's Yellow Productions called Bye Bye Blues, and then that record's closing title track would get licensed by Chicago label Guidance Recordings for their own partially-mixed 1999 comp that tried to cash in on that whole global underground chillout and downtempo craze at the time called Hi:Fidelity Lounge Volume One: Subterranean Soundtracks.

So, what I find to be most remarkable about this terrific piece of relaxational late 90s trip hop here is how its sound seems to evoke the two things that Jamaux seems to be best known for himself these days: "Bye Bye Blues" is this smooth bit of meticulously-made haze that both sounds cinematic and also as if AIR could've possibly produced it themselves. There is a certain spacey depth to much of AIR's own oeuvre, and you can hear it on this tune with certain things, like the combination of string pads and the wavy reverb off the subtly ringing, undergirding keyboards, as well as the funky wah guitar's reverb too. And credited on guitar for this tune, which probably includes the quiet acoustic strums in the background as well, is a guy named Patrick Woodcock, who can be found on a bunch of AIR's very own works.

(Jamaux and AIR have made music together since Orange broke up too, by the way. AIR did a remix of Ollano's "Latitudes," which came out in '97, and Jamaux is credited with the samples on AIR's "Modulor Mix," which was their debut single in 1995.)

So, this track is sort of a mix of past and future, I guess, for Jamaux. It has that AIR quality to it (no pun intended)—and he actually played with those guys when he was a teenager—and despite the fact that he had yet to change the focus of his career to making music for films, "Bye Bye Blues" definitely sounds like it could be used for a movie of some sort; I'm thinking some kind of scene that follows someone's hassle-free, warm, sunny day in a big city: riding the subway, hitting some small shops, getting a bite to eat, walking in a park, you get the idea.

Highly satisfying downtempo tune from the late 90s by this multitalented French musician.

i am exhausted because the venue where i went to the concert tonight doesn't have on-site parking so i had to drive around forever looking for a parking spot & once i finally found one i was all turned around & disoriented so basically i walked around lost in the cold cold rain for like 30 minutes in my boots that are not very comfortable to walk in & with NO umbrella or head covering so i got totally soaked just trying to FIND the concert. then during the concert itself my feet & body were in a ton of pain & i was too close to the speaker & there were way too many people close to me & i realized i was starting to dissociate so i left the front & went & got a drink & made myself a little chillout Dissociation Station at the back of the bar which was a good choice.

BUT i still had a good time! i kept getting distracted by the wall pussy at this club which distracts me literally every time i see a show there

people kept complimenting my outfit & then after the show janet weiss (drummer of quasi & sleater-kinney) took a pic with me & was very nice to me!!! we chatted & she laughed at my jokes!!!! WOMEN😍

the only bad part was a maudlin marijuana man trying to educate me about elliott smith even though i did not ask & could not hear him very well at all. also i was wearing my tom of finland jacket so this guy's opening line was "i noticed your jacket, yknow i'm actually 25% finnish, who's tom of finland? a band?" so then i had to try to explain tom of finland to this presumably heterosexual middle-aged portland guy who was already high & having emotions about elliott smith, DURING a very loud concert while i had an earplug in one ear making communication extremely difficult. idk if i succeeded but i did see him googling tom of finland on his phone, hope you enjoy what you find buddy!!!!!!!!!

Objective: To have fun around using 3D, digital painting and AI image generation. Testing the resources needed, the modularity, expediency of the process, and how accurate the results could be. Idea: I wanted something like a that reminisced old timey pulp magazine cover, but with a modern look. Ideally, it would look dreamy and foggy. Assets: Characters modelled on Genesis 8 base, with morphs and textures made by myself. Background is a mix of custom 3D objects, plus store bought scenary (IIRC Grovebrook Park and Urban Sprawl). On the AI side, I used the models Chillout Mix and NeverEnding Dream. I also used free images here and there. Process: I started with a 3D render, the ones I usually do. I tried many poses, my lighting options (turns out that doesn't make a difference). Then I started splicing the image in multiple parts by theme (Lois, background, Clark, etc...) and started tweaking them with AI, and digitally painting over when needed, doing many generations, a lot of repainting and blending. The objective was to take these bunch of different layers and blend them to something somewhat coherent. Problems: It's definitively more labor intensive than just painting, or using AI, or manipulating 3D objects then rendering, mostly because all three methods hate each other I guess. And I'm not very good. For one, AI hates faces. And eyes. Faces with glasses. And hands. And limbs. And edge of clothes. And objects. And everything. It will try to mix everything, fuse clothing to body, deform limbs, etc. Jon was supposed to be snapping his fingers, but AI really wanted him to hold a glass... or hallucination object. Every new layer needed more painting to add cohesion. And it was not very predictable, I wanted, for example, to make Lois look less like a teenaged anime girl, but the model does have biases. After that, make the whole thing look not like a bunch of layer barely blended at the borders was more time intensive than difficult, per se. I couldn't just chuck the whole image on AI and hope it would do it for me because I don't have a server room full of GPUs, and I didn't want to compromise on resolution, so I did by hand. I will pretend the ghosting was an intentional artistic choice. It was my first time doing this, so... yeah, there are things that I didn't know I could do that would have helped in the beginning. My thoughts: Overall, it's very resource intensive process, for GPU, time and energy. It's not very modular, or more precisely, not easily modular. I did a test with an older Jon model and just the thought of spending even more hours made me decide it's not worth it. There's an advantage that it's free, but it's also single use unlike 3D stuff you can make or purchase or just find online. Aesthetically... I don't dislike how Clark or Jon came out, but Lois was not the best. It was fun, if exhausting.
