So many bands these days are doing everything themselves, from putting shows together, organising recording and rehearsals, you name it! So this time we want to highlight the band Wings of Steel. They recently posted this comment on their facebook and so if you have a moment grab their music and merch and spread the word!
Bandcamp:…
Here’s a fun activity you can do. You can find live shows of semi obscure bands you like uploaded by people who bring camcorders to lots of music shows in their area. Already this is really fun bless those people a million times for their service. And then you can find other bands both on that channel generally and from whatever tour/day at that venue that band was at. You can find stuff that’s super obscure you can find whole shows that literally only have like 20 views. It’s really beautiful. Chances are the channel will end up going to a lot of stuff similar in vibes to the band you already like and also often bands that are similar will tour together, and bands that are friends will tour together. It’s a very fun way to find really obscure stuff and get into that as well as see stuff featuring the band you already like! I found a band I had never heard of today and for one of their songs they had the trumpet player from the band I already know come on for one of the songs. It was really fun ^_^
Look at Kikuri's expression after Hitori asks her to see her play at the school festival. And though she doesn't know it, there was little worry on this anxious kid's part about asking her, too. Hitori genuinely looks up to and trusts her, a self-proclaimed 'mess.' That's a huge feeling to know.
We don't see much of Kikuri's regular life, so this is speculation, but I wonder if helping out this kid on a whim is one of the highlights among the dissatisfaction. Something outside the 'alcoholism spiral'. To the point she braves a typhoon to see her grow.
She sees her past self in her. Maybe she tries to give her the support and advice she would've wanted back then. Notice the blue couch in these two shots, past and present:
In the flashback, she's alone, where she's now sitting with Hitori and encouraging her. Where Hitori has a whole room of people wanting to help her grow. And where perhaps Kikuri didn't quite have that, not yet, but now's part of the reason this kid does.
...I love how Kikuri does not have her life together at all, but after a chance meeting with Hitori she just chooses to be kind, just like that, and I think it's been great for both of them. There's something about strangers just helping each other out that gets me.
In England, English and Norman barons kill each other to seize the throne and in France, the Carolingian unity having been shattered, the little Capetian king managed his meager possessions under the vigilant and hostile eye of the great feudal lords who watched over over their strongholds and control his every move. Brittany, if it wished, could finally spread its wings. Conan III is careful not to do this and is content to govern peacefully, only too happy that the English and French ropes which hold him by the neck are suddenly so weak. A good duke, good husband, good Breton, he has everything going his way, but was unfortunately a bad father; on his deathbed he disowns Hoël, his son, and chooses as his heir Conan IV, a little boy of 9 years old, the son of his daughter Bertha.
