“Memoria polaroid” – un blog alla radio S23E14

Ed eccoci all’ultima puntata dell’anno per il podcast di “Memoria polaroid – un blog alla radio”, la trasmissione in onda ogni settimana da Bologna sulle frequenze di NEU Radio. Le luci colorate intorno al mixer, la scaletta in pieno clima natalizio, i doni sotto l’albero carichi di novità indiepop e indie rock, gli immancabili brindisi, il supporto di Benty in collegamento telefonico come i…

9/8/23.

Today is the 2,500th post.

Slumberland has been really active lately. I love that they're releasing work by lesser known bands. I'd never heard of New Jersey based band lightheaded.

Their Bandcamp descriptor says they're power poppin their way through their music. I wouldn't describe this as power pop, and I'm not sure I would describe it as pop. It is definitely indie pop of a certain sort - it immediately made me think of The Aislers Set and Comet Gain and Tele Novella. Slumberland mentions the songwriting of Curt Boettcher (check out the new Sundazed LP of Sandy Salisbury and Curt Boettcher).

I love that the name of the album is "Good Good Great". Indeed.

Comet Gain — The Misfit Jukebox (Tapete)

The Misfit Jukebox by Comet Gain

Over the past year Comet Gain founder David Christian has been releasing digital only collections of the band’s archive of outtakes, demos, live tracks, covers and rarities on Bandcamp. The Misfit Jukebox compiles 17 tracks on vinyl and CD for the first time and is a pure delight for fans and a great place to start for anyone into noisy, scruffy indie guitar music. From noisy wig-outs to acoustic balladry via inspired covers, alternative versions of old favorites and unreleased songs, this a record packed with uncut gems that span the years and many incarnations of a band whose relative obscurity continues to confound.

At the center is Christian, heart on his sleeve, pocket stuffed with a dog-eared copy of “The Outsider,” one hand clutching a box of obscure 7” singles, the other gesticulating enthusiastically to musings on art, love, literature and the redemptive joys of music. In many ways Comet Gain are the platonic idea of band as gang and like other odd English evangelistic gang leaders like Kevin Rowland and Pete Wylie, Christian finds a like-minded cohort whose members come and go while the essence remains. 

“He stayed in the joints with his own kind/The incurables/The boys who felt the itch to discover something” And we’re away, “The Weekend Dreams (Doble Vida Version)” comes on in a tumble of guitars and clattering drums chasing Christian’s rush of bittersweet romantic idealism, a glorious messy rush of a song all the better for the rough edges. A buoyant cover of the Would-Be-Goods’ “Pinstripe Rebel,” the Velvet Underground wig-out of “Herbert Huncke Part 3” (has ever a subject, band and performance fitted so well?), Sarah Bleach’s vocals on “Only Happy When I’m Sad” with an Aztec Camera like guitar solo, a lovely acoustic demo of “The Fists in the Pocket” and previously unreleased “Your Just Lonely” and “When?!” with The Clientele’s Alasdair MacLean and Lupe Núñez-Fernández on vocals are all revelations. The release of these songs alone make The Misfit Jukebox essential. 

If you haven’t had the pleasure, I envy your first listen and if you think a collection of outtakes and demos might be an odd place to start, The Misfit Jukebox has enough energy, inspiration and musical goodness to convince you that Comet Gain need to be part of your life.

Please read before interacting!!

If you want to support me and my art, Instagram is where I post my OC art the most! But I also post here when I can and over at @cupid-daze

Read my comic, Sweet Tooth Bats on comic fury!

(Edit:Also I am a young adult! But I can't put my age up at the moment because bots like to terrorize me the most, I think they think I'm one of them but I'm not and I'm terrified 😟 I find when I don't put my age in my bio,they don't come after me)

IMPORTANT MESSAGE BELOW

Edit Nov 2nd 2022: Reminder for new and old followers alike, I am a person just like everyone else and I have a tendency to disappear and reappear with actual content that are not reblogs. I want to say this because I am a retired cosplayer (I want to cosplay again at some point but not right now so I'm considerably retired) and I know what it's like to feel like I have to dish out content every day or every other day, I will not be doing this with my art as I just post things that are finished or somewhat finished, I think are fun/funny and are relating to my interests. I also say this because this year has been particularly hard for me for personal reasons regarding loosing loved ones and subjects such as loosing motivation, suddenly gaining motivation, and then loosing it all over again which often coincides with depression etc. Not to sound like a broken record but again I have a tendency to disappear off social media (usually to focus on myself and other instances) and I am a young adult, I do not post super mature things outside of horror etc, but I do ask for younger followers to not be weird about things it puts both of us in potential danger and this goes for other content creators outside of me as well. I mention this because when I cosplayed I got simp comments every now and again for the character I was cosplaying and that is super uncomfortable especially if that is from anyone under 17-18,and I just wish for that not to repeat if I do cosplay again and/or with any of my art as I have OCs that are considered attractive (ex: Valentina Valentine, who is an asexual and her whole character revolves around wanting to be seen more as a person than an object; so it will make me super if not violently uncomfortable if I get super s3xual comments about her). I also just want this blog to be an overall safe space for people of color and/or LGBTQ community, including furrys but excluding z00philes and so on.

Please and thank you. I am wishing everyone the best and please stay hydrated and eat when you are able to! Get rest as well! Be safe and take care dears!

Edit Jan 14,2023: Also I want to say again this is a safe space for everyone except problematics/proshippers etc.

I want to also add that if you cannot respect my boundaries as a person and creator, and not only just mine but others aswell, I will ask you to leave or if you were to hypothetically continue harassing anyone or just being overall not respectful to one another that will not be tolerated and you will be blocked.

I do not mean to come off as unpleasant but I want people to be aware. Thank you for understanding.

“Memoria polaroid” – un blog alla radio S23E13

Bentrovate e bentrovati a una nuova puntata del podcast di “Memoria polaroid – un blog alla radio”, la trasmissione in onda ogni settimana da Bologna sulle frequenze di NEU Radio. Dalla Gran Bretagna a Melbourne, da Düsseldorf all’Indonesia, e con qualche inevitabile canzone natalizia in mezzo, ecco a voi la consueta ora di novità indiepop e indie rock, senza dimenticare gli indispensabili…

I really liked The Umbrellas (San Francisco, California) debut LP in 2021 on Slumberland, but if "Three Cheers!" is a true indication of what their new album, "Fairweather Friend" sounds like then I will give a genuine "Hip, Hip, Hoorah"!

The Bandcamp write up says, "Channeling sold gold influences like The Pastels, Comet Gain, Orange Juice and The Aislers Set, The Umbrellas represent the fertile San Francisco Bay Area scene’s at its most pop-tastic." Before I read that, I immediately thought of older Pastels and Orange Juice. Their earlier work does have a decidely Aislers Set feel.

Slumberland is putting this out. I know we posted about the band lightheaded a while back, but give it another listen. I did a couple of days ago and enjoyed it more this time around.

i hate tht in the beginning of my souls adventure i was scared to use sorcery n shit bc id never rlly utilised magic in games before, n then i finally did a sorcery build n realised id been depriving myself of easy mode

With most of their friends and family now in the know regarding the possession, Keris and Alex can finally, finally start the process of separating the two of them and getting Alex their own body. And since Dr. Luma is a soul doctor, if anyone could help with this it would be him. Unfortunately, there's just one small problem.

They reeeeaaaaaally don't like going to the doctor.

Luckily they have a friend who knows Dr. Luma even better than them that can go with them. And, hey, is that a chicken in the distance?

Angst rating: low to mild
