Not me getting genuinely emotional over a concert I didn’t see that happened on the other side of the world from me.

Those are some of my Michigan kids. I grew up watching them grow up, and I am so proud of how far they’ve come. They’re rockstars.

Ranking Starkid Members

Disclaimer: I'm only doing the members I can actually speak to (some of the new ones/lesser known ones I can't really comment on) Also these are just MY opinions.

18. Bonnie Gruesen

She's no longer part of Starkid which is mostly why she's here. She was really good as Hermoine but Meredith stepped in when she left and is also amazing and yeah...she's last cause she's not there anymore. I'm sure she's lovely though.

17. Matt Lang

We don't see much of him. I didn't realize he was younger than Nick but it makes sense!

16. Brant Cox

I don't know him well so he goes here lol

15. Clark Baxstresser

He's another one I don't know very well but he's good with the music so that's good!

14. A.J Holmes

Another music man! But I 'know' him a little better so he gets a little higher!

13. Brian Rosenthal

He was a great Quirrell!

12. Jim Povolo

He gets this position because he's so tall! Also his 'Yeah you'll be the one who is totally awesome' is a win!

11. Jeff Blim

I think he's really talented but he's a later addition so he doesn't get ranked higher than the OGs! lol

10. Nick Lang

This whole thing wouldn't be a thing without him. But he's more behind the scenes so he doesn't rank as high as some of the others!

9. Jaime Lynn Beatty

She's quirky in 'real life' (as much as I can know about her) and I love her Ginny!

8. Meredith Stepien

She took over as Hermoine and has had a lot of other awesome roles. I also love her story about her mother's love of Darren lol

7. Joe Walker

He's very nice to look at and seems like a good guy. He's also really talented!

6. Brian Holden

He's another one of those 'this whole thing wouldn't be a thing if it wasn't for him'. Also his Hagrid and Lupin are EPIC.

5. Dylan Saunders

One of the more attractive Starkids in my opinion, but I also think he's super talented and who doesn't love his Dumbledore?

4. Joe Moses

Snape. Enough said.

3. Joey Richter

I love Joey a lot. He slips from second place though because I don't understand his hair/facial hair choices in the last little while lol

2. Lauren Lopez

Malfoy. Also enough said. I didn't expect her to come in second though! That surprises even me a little.

1. Darren Criss

Duh. No surprise there lol

[oh-theatre]

The happiest of birthdays to Clark Baxstresser!!

[gloriouslokius]

Celebrity Skin

AHHHHHHHH!

Spoilers for Episode 10 of The Case of the Greater Gatsby under the cut!

GUYS THIS WAS THE BEST EPISODE! I don’t think I’ve laughed out loud so consistently while listening to a podcast in years. Obviously, the Persauds should be proud of everything they’ve written, but they should be extra proud of this complete and utter gem of a farce.

But let’s start with the bad news. As much as No Cop, No Cop absolutely exceeded my expectations, I don’t think Ford felt the same. It might be awhile before we get him in on another caper. Also, ironically after what I wrote last week, Cliff has already blithely broken up with his contractor. Must be nice to have so much money that you can build all those bathrooms for nothing and then not even be upset about it. But while much poorer than Cliff, I too am resilient and apparently inconstant, because I’ve already jumped right on board the good ship Cliff/Rex (Riff? Callowhistle? Punchaway?) and am ready to sail!

Meanwhile, we can unsurprisingly cross Zelda off the murder suspect list and add Willie, Cliff, and Leery to the guest list at Mel’s party the night Fitzy died. And I’m pretty sure Ford and I are on the same page as to the location of the missing tapes (they HAVE to be behind Zelda’s painting at Sheila’s place, right?). Dash setting fire to Bixby's does feed into the plot thread of the bar's potential financial troubles (if those are even real), though whether the pyrotechnics will make the problems worse or the insurance will make them better remains to be seen. It would be kinda' hilarious if the answer to Bixby's money woes ends up being Dash-with-a-fan.

The part of me that is forever living in the opening performance of Eugene and Ramona Trousers' delightfully inane but extremely plot-relevant The History of Sleepy Hollow really wanted to scan this episode's improvised travesty for potential clues, but unless Fitzy's murderer got into his house by disguising themself as a chaise lounge (tragically unlikely), I really don't think there's anything there.

But it wouldn't be a Brooke-rambles-about-GG post without at least one bit of wild theorizing so we go: Eugene Punchwhistle is the Hinge Highway Man. I'm not saying I believe this, but I am saying that we have two completely tertiary mysteries, and it would be kinda' funny if they ended up simply answering each other. And I don't know who else Eugene could possibly be.

So yeah! What a fantastic episode! Grip Holdstuff might be my new favorite gag in all of Shipwrecked history! Clark Baxtresser's voice coming from a character that was just described as short might be my new favorite unintentional gag in all of Shipwrecked history! AND we got to hear Clark sing Cole Porter (😍😍😍😍😍😍😍)!! What a high-light! Good news, indeed!

Excited to hopefully get those tapes next episode. And when are we gonna check in on Donald Ogden Stewart?

Dream Starkid Jangle Ball Tour: Villain Song Setlist

So, I'm super excited about the Jangle Ball. Even if they don't play where I am, I'm just so happy they're going to tour again after all these years!

I've been randomly pondering what my dream set list for the 'Villain Song" section of the tour would be. If digital tickets are released and I see they have completely different songs, then that's totally awesome and pretty likely! I'd enjoy it a wild amount either way. This is just a little fun thing for me to think about and basically, me listing y personal favourite Starkid villain songs.

I tried to include mostly villain songs, but some are a stretch, some are Starkid tour classics and some are songs I just really want to see a live version of. I know they've said in livestreams that any song can be twisted (ha!) into a villain song, and they want to perform some songs in ways that they haven't been performed before, maybe with different performers than the originals. And they said they wanted to change up the set list a bit for different locations. That sounds very fun! And yep, my list is far too long for half a concert but I can't control myself.

My Dream Jangle Ball Setlist:

Twisted - Twisted

Let it Out - TGWDLM

Do you want to play? - Black Friday

The Web I Spin for You - NMT1

Into the Night - Firebringer

Different as Can Be - AVPM (Omg if AJ sang for Voldemort I would be so happy because all I want in life is an AJ Holmes and Brian Rosenthal duet)

Axe Man - NMT2

Not Your Seed - TGWDLM

Change in the Climate - Firebringer

Virginity Rocks - NMT2

Listen to Your Heart - MAMD (If the choice rested in my hands, I would list every MAMD song for this tour. Every single one xD)

Join Us (And Die) - TGWDLM (I cannot stress how important it is that this song goes right before Kick it Up a Notch! I need Jaime to belt "It's time to diiiiiiiiie" at the beginning and I need "all you gotta do is-" to transition straight into 'Kick it Up a Notch'. It is essential to everyone's well-being that this happens!!)

Kick it Up a Notch - Starship

Rogues Are We - HMB

Granger Danger - AVPM

Guys Like Potter - AVPS (If Tyler Brunsman doesn't join the cast, then Brian Rosenthal as Lucius and if Joe Moses doesn't join, then Brian Holden for Snape!)

The Way I Do - Starship

Wagon on Fire - TTO

Missing You - AVPM (I'm guessing it's unlikely Darren will join them (but you never know!), so James for Harry!)

Wizard of the Year (Gilderoy) - AVPSY

Big T's Temptation - MAMD (please, it's all I've wanted since birth. No one will ever understand how much I love Big T and this song *cries*)

It's Not Over Yet - AVPS (If Tyler Brunsman doesn't reprise the role, then Brian Holden as Lucius!)

Going Back to Hogwarts - AVPM (The Villain is the old, majestic owl who lost my letter to Starkid's Hogwarts, gave it to that infamous Hogwarts Jaguar, who, with his soft adorable paws that he trips over when he's running too fast, took out a knife and put it in the shredder all those years ago. That rat bastard!)

What would be your dream Jangle Ball Tour 'Villain Song' setlist? If you can twist it into a villain song, then pretty much any song is fair game!

[itreallysaid-us-navy]

I can't stop listening to the Clark and Darren version of I Was. I'd love to see them perform that live together.

[starsbegantoburn]

if starkid did make a fantastic beasts musical then clark needs to be newt scamander because HE'S SO TALENTED AND NEEDS A MAIN ROLE IN ONE OF THEIR PRODUCTIONS
