can u recommend some bands? i think i like ur music taste and i am terrible at finding music

ty :)

of COURSE I can <3 you’ve probably heard of some of these, but maybe there’ll be some you haven’t! I don’t know what you already like, so… here we go :)

Hozier. Yeah this was always going to be first on the list I’m currently listening to basically nothing else! He’s an Irish folk/soul/blues/etc idk musician who uses a lot of religious and mythological themes in his lyrics and has a lot of songs that include social justice commentary.

The Amazing Devil is a folk rock band with an incredibly unique sound. Their songs are incredibly emotional and have an awesome fantasy vibe going on—plus there’s two singers, and they often sing independently from each other, which is something you don’t see often!

Good Morning Bedlam is a bluegrass band that I’ve gotten into recently! They’re sort of like… a mix of the amazing devil and the crane wives?

The Crane Wives, while we’re at it, and

The Oh Hellos. they’re fairly similar and I don’t have a ton to say about their stylistic differences, but they’re all definitely worth checking out!

Florence & The Machine. Most people have heard of them but I always like to recommend them anyway

Alec Benjamin, if you’re into softer indie music! He has a lot of different styles of lyrics, but his voice is consistent, so he’s great to listen to if you’re looking for that sort of variety.

Chxrlotte doesn’t have a lot of music out, but I’m a big fan of the music she has released, including the ones about Good Omens! The others are more angsty which I love too.

The Family Crest is an orchestral indie pop rock band, which blows my mind. I can’t believe orchestra isn’t a more utilized tool in popular lyrical music, because they do it so well.

Good Kid is actually my brother’s favorite band, and I love them too. They’re also indie rock, but they have a very distinctive style and are easy to get into! Plus they haven’t released a shit ton of songs like some other artists, so it isn’t overwhelming to explore their discography.

Jonatha Brooke is an artist I only know about because my mom liked her music a lot in the 90s, but she’s got a super nice voice and has some awesomely relatable lyrics. I especially recommend her album Ten Cent Wings!

Midlake is a super melodic folk rock band. I’m obsessed with their album The Courage of Others, which has a melancholy vibe that’s super easy to get lost in.

Palaye Royale is harder rock than anyone else on the list so far, but they’ve got an awesome style. Unique voice and definitely darker themes in their lyrics.

Tears for Fears is a pop rock band that I love because my dad does. (My parents are musicians—I trust their music taste).

Toad the Wet Sprocket got their name from Monty Python, but PLEASE go listen to the Architect of the Ruin EP. You will not regret it. Also the song Something’s Always Wrong is like… entrenched in my very being.

Elbow is a band that I never see in fandom circles, but they’re definitely not obscure. Check out their album Little Fictions! They’re kind of like Midlake.

Will Wood ranges from chaotic and fun (The Normal Album) to absolutely soul-crushing (in case I make it)! Sometimes even both at the same time!

(I would’ve also put Paramore, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, and other rock/pop punk bands I like on there, but I assumed you already know them.) (If you were looking for harder rock or metal, let me know, because this list is not that.)

If you want more genre-specific recs or even album/song recs, don’t hesitate to ask!! Music is the fuel of my soul.

02/22/2024 Daily OFMD Recap

TLDR; Rhys Darby's 3 cameos Jeez; Clowning/Honking (no clown pictures); PhoneInFriday in the UK; SaveOFMD Crew Events on IG; Fan Spotlight; Custom Jackets; Collages; Chxrlotte New Song: OFMD; Morale/Love Notes; Daily Darby/Tonight's Taika;

== Rhys Darby ==

Good god, 3 Cameo's today? I hope you all enjoy dopamine-- remember to take a break in between because SHEESH. My brain overloaded real bad on #VitaminRD.

= Cameo 1: =

The latest cameo features Rhys as Murray from Flight of the Conchords Thank you @it_llpass and "The Maybe Dids", a group of FotC fans, for getting this cameo and sharing it with everyone! Rhys Sings Leggy Blonde at the end, be sure to hold onto you seat. Src: Cameo Link - Also up on the Repo in the Cameo's section

= Cameo 2: =

This cameo was put together by NDKiwi and The Giggle Bytes (and special thanks to @yronnia for keeping me in the loop, I've been waiting for this one since you mentioned it! The Giggle Bytes are a group of fans who really love Rhys and his Robots and sound effects! Thank you to everyone who was involved in getting this wonderfully whimsical video made! Src: Cameo Link

= Cameo 3: =

Thank you to the HWCC for this wonderful clowning video! Rhys scared the crap out of me in the first 6 seconds, so CW with jump scares friends. Src: Cameo

Speaking of clowning...

== Clown/Honk Alert ==

So normally I would leave this in the cast & crew section, but they're part of the honking narrative today so here we go! The very first thing today that triggered some honking was Con O'Neill posting on his IG page the Rotten Tomatoes stats (which btw I know a lot of you have been reviewing-- and it's totally working! Those numbers have gone up from the last time I looked! GREAT JOB!)

Which of course Samba, and Erroll posted in their IG Stories. Then, to add to the excitement, one of our crew-mates @soglamwow on twitter @'d Samba with our latest stats and he RESPONDED.

Annnnnd to continue the clowning, Rhys JUST SO HAPPENED to take a little hiatus from Cameo until March.

Okay so AND THEN, a sweet article from Paste was published today, and in it, Vico Ortiz talks about the SaveOFMD effort! See some of that article below!

These Thems‘ Vico Ortiz and Gretchen Wylder Talk Industry Obstacles to Making Queer Stories

If you've never seen These Thems' Please watch them here on youtube!

Now, this is all pure speculation, but the scuttlebutt around the bronzetub booze cooler is there seems to be a LOT of engagement from multiple cast members across MULTIPLE platforms SPECIFICALLY having to do with the renewal. All of that + Vico having an article published giving shout outs to the crew? AND Rhys deciding to take some time off (which could be because he's cranking out cameos like no tomorrow, or because he found out what Vianton means, we don't know) all together in one day--- FOLLOWING multiple days of BTS and increased engagement on all platforms... it seems like a perfect storm for clowning/honking.

I found this on @mytabsclosed's Twitter after writing this up, so it's definitely the TLDR; version:

I wouldn't be surprised if we get some sort of breadcrumb from Chaos Dad tomorrow, but don't quote me on that. I can clown town and hope though!

== UK Folks! ==

Feb 23 is #PhoneInFriday - Call in to B.B.C. 3 to request Gnossienne No. 5 at 6:30 am G.M.T., and B.B.C. 2 to request The Chain at 4 pm G.M.T. Those outside the U.K. can text or email! Need info on where to call/email, visit: How to Call into BBC

Today was #TheoryThursday! It's still going on if you're interested in joining! Just comment on their post here!

== Fan Spotlight ==

= Custom OFMD Jackets =

== Chxrlotte New Release! ==

Chxrlotte is a UK artist that gained public attention after the releease of their Good Omens song "Come With Me". She's just released a new song "Message In A Bottle" which is all about Our Flag Means Death! Thank you @libbyroseitm for sending me the deets on this! Please give it a listen! It's really lovely. "Message In A Bottle" On Spotify

== Morale / Love Notes ==

Wow friends. Today was a big one. Lots and lots of trending, lots of cameos, lots of honk honk honking. It was seriously busy. I hope some of the activity has helped raise some spirits! The cast & crew are definitely seeing our efforts and really showing us they are! Remember that when things feel down, they know we're fighting and they're behind us too! Vico's words: "It also makes me hopeful seeing how y’all are mobilizing and are incredibly earnest and passionate about seeing queer content on TV or wherever that may be. It makes me, as a producer, as a writer, as an actor, excited to know that there is a community of folks who are going to support queer content that I make and attach myself to with friends that are also queer creators, and writers, and producers, and actors, because I want to give it to y’all.”  And to end on-- words from Rhys' own mouth today in one of his cameos: "Don't Stop Clowning! Until you get arrested!"

===================

Okay lovelies. It's that time again for me to be annoyingly loving towards you. I hope you're ready! Did you know you're doing an amazing job? Like, a fucking stellar job. Whatever you're struggling with, however you're coping, you're kicking ass! You are still here with us, and I am so fucking grateful for that! I know sometimes it's really hard to give yourself self-love (I am in fact terrible at it), so I just wanna take this moment to let you know I am rooting for you! Everyone on our crew is rooting for you! You are doing your very best, and there's no one in this world who can compare to you and what you're going through. Your struggles are hard, but you are making it through because you are a strong, resilient, powerhouse of a human being! YOU are a force to be reckoned with. YOU are a kind and caring soul who puts so much good into the world. YOU are an inspiration. YOU are mind-blowingly amazeballs (that's the technical term) and you are going to do marvelous things no matter how big or how small they are. I believe in you and so does everyone on your crew, whole-heartedly. When you're ready, go shine lovelies, you deserve to shine.

====================

== Daily Darby / Tonight's Taika ==

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd regarding gifs tonight-- The moment I saw it, I knew this was todays Darby Gif, Courtesy of @ofmd-ann, and then of course, found this lovely Taika Gif today courtesy of @agaywithcoffee that seems pretty appropriate.

[vroomvroomwee]

Since Good Omens season is still in session, I would like to once more bring this godly masterpiece back to light

And for those who don't know it. DROP whatever you're doing right now, I don't care if you're saving someone from a burning building, stop it now and go listen to this beautiful song

[aroaceblackhole]

Have you listened to this!!??!?!??!??!????!!!?!??? I'm going to throw up.

"But how did I think you'd be able

To ever love a fallen angel" hhgghthjk

"And I don't want you to forgive me

I'm only happy when you're with me" HOW DARE YOU?

"Felt like I was falling from above

Maybe I was just falling in love" I am literally sobbing, curled up on the floor, how fucking dare you!?!? Thank you so much, but also, why would you do this to me?

[firephoenix2305]

"US" BY CHXRLOTTE

Right, so there's this AMAZING musician called Chxrlotte (No clue if they're on Tumblr, but you can find them in Spotify, Yt and X as far as I know) who has written songs about Good Omens.

And I don't mean "Good Omens coded", I mean about about Good Omens.

Just this morning I stumbled across this one, which is inspired by the final fifteen.

And, eh, yeah...

Angel

Ooh

God it's painful

To love you like I do

But how did I think you'd be able

To ever love a fallen angel

All I ever wanted was to be enough

GOD. DAMN. MY HEART.

Other songs by Chxrlotte I 1000% recommend are "Come With Me" and "Hellfire"

Now, If you'll excuse me, I will now proceed to go to a corner and cry. For a very, very long time.

[amagnificentobsession]

Angel tell me why

Was I imagining the love that I was sure was in your eyes

I told you "come with me"

But you left me in the silence where the nightingales should be

Angel

Ooh

God it's painful

To love you like I do

I just wanted you

Can you look me in the eyes and tell me this is what you wanna do

Forever feels so long

But if i'm not enough to love you I don't feel like I belong

Angel

Ooh

God it's painful

To love you like I do

But how did I think you'd be able

To ever love a fallen angel

AlI ever wanted was to be enough

And I don't want you to forgive me

I'm only happy when you're with me

We could've left it all behind for good and run

We could've been us

I can't bear to see the end

An eternity I'd like to spend

With the only one who ever cared

We could've been us

Felt like I was falling from above

Maybe I was just falling in love

Who am I to think I'd be enough

We could've been us

[weirdly-specific-but-ok]

Btw Asmi, if no one has yet recommended Chxrlotte's two Good Omens songs to you, we have all done you a great disservice.

Here we have the happy season 1 song, Come With Me:

https://open.spotify.com/track/20knH2CFE0me7lUYfAa4BX?si=TJiJG3msQCCOT0A25i1lzw

And the utterly heartrending season 2 song, Us:

https://open.spotify.com/track/7GWy6uQvVA0qrgOKBDOy5I?si=tFc5oLFuTTWlqr-F2rzabQ

Warning: both songs leave you at risk of listening to them over and over forever and Us WILL make you sob. A lot.

I have heard these *sobs* here maggots, if you haven't heard these songs you absolutely have to. Sit and be in pain along with me. Yes. How are people in this fandom so bloody talented.

[saturnalia-shebang]

good omens 3 should open with Crowley going about his daily business while “Us” by Chxrlotte plays in the background full volume

[maudeisinthevoid]

No nightingales.

[sparrowsortadrawzzz]

"I TOLD YOU COME WITH MEEE, BUT YOU LEFT ME IN THE SILENCE WHERE THE NIGHTINGALES SHOULD BE"

WHAT????? GIRL????????? HOW DID CHXRLOTTE MANAGE TO BE SO CONCISE YET HEART WRENCHING IT IS PAINING ME-

[abastardworthknowing]

Hey everyone who is ready to cry?

Cause i am struggling to keep it together

This is exactly what you think it is

[gentlebeardsbarngrill]

WELL My ADHD Brain is now obsessed with song.

If you haven't already, please give "Message In A Bottle" by@shutupchxrlotte a listen-- it's available on spotify

It's about #OurFlagMeansDeath and it's haunting and feels like a love letter. It resonates on our frequency.

Thank @libbyroseitm for sending it to me!

[idiotboisinlove]

i discovered chxrlotte's new song (written FOR good omens) and I just had to make a quick little something! Listen to the entire song if you wana cry a whole bunch. I've got it on repeat.
