#jason webley and friends

[razorsadness]

So like Orpheus, I bowed and went far underneath the firmament My harp strings broke, my voice was spent, I kissed my lady's hand and sent My two weeks notice with my rent And she grew cold and softly said That I am not your lover I'm the map you use to find her I am not your lover I'm just a map you use to find her

My friend says he has fond memories of meeting you at a Jason Webley concert in Seattle and walking down to the water in the very early hours of the morning. He said the cops showed up or something? Anyways, I was wondering if you remember it.

It was unforgettable. Jason swam out to a ship in the bay, to celebrate the 11/11/11 of it all.

Confessions of a Recovering Genrephobic 4/27/24

Hey Whores,

This week I went on a trip!

I drove in a square across my beautiful state and then spent an entire day with an incredible cute boy who looks kinda like a mexican Adam Scott so theres that.

We had fun I really like him. And in a me being healthy boy I also hung out with other friends in other towns, and saw beautiful things, went to beautiful places, and also learned alot about local history and can I say I'm really sorry the various native american tribes that had to deal with our white asses.

Anyway the hours of driving gave me a reason to listen to music. So yaayayayayayayaya.

Only Just Beginning (2004) - Jason Webley

Genre: Folk Length: 51:58 (10 Tracks)

Another Jason Webley album.

Sing For Your Lives! (2011) - Vagabond Opera

Genre: Various (will Explain) Length: 58:17 (11 Songs)

oh how to discribe Vagabond Opera. Much like This way to the Egress, VO is one of those bands that is stylisticly steampunk, but includes a variety of older genre sound such as caberet, circus, klezmer, and other various folk styles. (oh an opera forgot about that) I wouldn't think that it would be *incorrect* to label this as dark caberet but understand that its dark in the same way that zoey boekbinder is.

heres a sample.

Tapestry (1971) - Carole King

Genre: Soft Rock, Pop Length: 44:31 (12 Tracks)

You Light Up My Life (1977) - Debby Boone

Genre: Pop Length: 38:12 (12 Tracks)

No not that other album with the exact name.

Overall this and the last album was nice? It had that kind of soft 70s pop sound from back then and its not for me. Enough said.

Black Sabbath (1970) - Black Sabbath

Genre: Heavy Metal Length: 38:08 (7 Tracks)

When The Moon Was Hungry (2007) - The Romanovs

Genre: Dark Caberet, Goth Rock Length: 43:49 (10 Tracks)

ok first baby dolls you have to hear this song.

God isn't that so good. Its gothic, its so clearly dark cabernet, and its just a hot ass song. Honestly I kinda understand why I was so obsessed with The Last Dinner Party a couple months back.

The actually history of this album is interesting. Its essentially a one-off project by the singer and a few of her friends and they only released this one album. Its also not on spotify and most sources are pretty confused on the track listings. Essentially there is no official digital version of this album online everything you can find is a fan recreation.

I love how I keep falling in love with partially lost media essential. Banger album I need to listen to more goth music.

[heyitsharbor]

im doing this bc it seemed neat and some ppl put it on my dash.

if u use spotify.... put On Repeat on shuffle and list the first twelve songs!

Tagging ppl bc I can @crownedscribe @colubridc @tealursa @2kbloodsucker @beteldyke also anybody who follows me should do it :) if they want :) I just don't want to spam u all w tags

WTNV quick rundown - Live Show - Ghost Stories

For other live shows and episode rundowns please check here!

Featurings the voices of Meg Bashwiner as Deb, Symphony Sanders as Tamika Flynn, Joseph Fink as Teddy Williams, Hal Lublin as Steve Carlsberg, Desiree Burch as Pamela Winchell, Dylan Marron as Carlos The Scientist, Jasika Nicole as Dana Cardinal, Wil Wheaton as Earl Harlan, Jeffery Cranor as himself (in intern form), Jason Webley as Louie Blasko, Molly Quinn as Melony Pennington, Kate Jones as Michelle Nyugen and Emma Frankland as Sheriff Sam.

We have nothing to fear but fear itself. Also many other things, several of which can be found in your home. Welcome to Night Vale!

The Ghost Stories in question are submissions by citizens for NV 'annual' ghost story competition. We also got a few regular segments.

Horoscopes reveal that Steve Carlsberg is a Scorpio. Cecil says this is not why they're usually mean. He also mentions that Janice is soon having her first 'ballet fight' which Abby said he wouldn't be invited to if he weren't nice in his horoscopes.

Deb returns with an ad for American Airlines. She tells a story about a family of sentient patches of haze moving into a house that is inhabited by humans. It is pointed out that humans often own houses, a fact which gets Deb in a huff.

In the Children's Fun Fact Science Corner, Cecil suggests that it's been confirmed that time travel will be invented in 30 years and proposes a (failed) experiment to test this out.

NVHS prom will be locking the kids in and allowing them to gamble. The schools tests kids using an electrified maze.

The NV fire department is sure it's kids that start fires, their mascot is a vulture with a camera for a head and their fire chief is Ramona Encarnacion.

Weather: "Where Did I Go" Erin McKeown

Tamika says she learnt English by reading it not listening to it and has a very unusual way of saying potato. Her story is about her best friend Jessice Littleton defeating a librarian.

Teddy Williams is having a haunted house kind of event at the Desert Flower. His story is about the ghost of Marcus Vanston's cat haunting the NV skating rink which was built over the pet cemetary. He says it speaks French, and he only has a Russian dictionary, which he assumes is similar enough to French. He believes that the cat is called Peanut and died of lonliness, waiting for Marcus to return. Unable to reunite even in death it is now a ghost.

Steve tells us about a bus of school children and their driver Mab, stalled on train tracks. They didn't actually get hit by a train but died of natural causes years later. Even so, Steve insists your car will roll and you'll see ghostly handprints if you go to the train station at the right time. He doesn't believe in Cecil's plausible explanations for this and waxes momentarily poetic about the nature of existence which actually scares Cecil. They hug.

Pamela appears to tell a story, seemingly accompanied by one of the mute hollow-eyes children. She insists he was probably there since the last press conference a month ago and Cecil forgot to send him home. She also says he grandfather was a bird. Her story is about a cool rock she found that has a latin inscription on it she is assuming is the book 'Gone Girl'. But since she thinks the movie 'Furious 7' is 'Gone Girl' and Cecil thinks the book 'Ms Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children' is 'Gone Girl' and nobody in NV speaks Latin there is no way it actually is a Latin translation of that book and if it were neither would recognise it. Pamela ate the rock. She also arrived and left on a horse.

Carlos' story actually involves him meeting a ghost in his lab and being more scientifically interested (and embarassing himself by phrasing things strangely to the ghost) than scared. He keeps forgetting he's on radio and not describing things. He also has an assistent called Winchell who lives in the crawl space and the ghost was his relative. He says that many scientists who died from not having OSHA approved eye washes are buried in the cemetary next to his lab. He also believes that Benjamin Franklin tied his kite to a tombstone and that Canada is in Boston.

Dana's story is about her uncle Herbert's mansion. He had apparently cut all contact with their family years prior to his death, only keeping the company of his manservant Sherfwood. The mansion is apparently hideously decorated and none of them wanted it, not even her ghost cousin Denise. This story may also be told by Sheriff Sam, making it dubiously canon for either.

Earl is retelling a story his old scout master Ron Veal used to tell. Its about a group of scouts getting lost at night and developing their own civilisation, eventually drawing straws to see who got killed and eaten. It turns out they were in somebodies back garden and are soon invited back inside, with the mother being upset that her son Richie is not there. His ghost did rejoin the trope eventually and get his apparition badge as did they all some time later. Earl insists it was centuries since he and Cecil were scouts, which causes Cecil to quickly change the subject. Also, Cecil has no idea what a fridge is and thought his fridge was a humming closet full of cold air. It's unclear what he's been using as a fridge as he changes the subject when asked. Earl mentions cooking shows such as 'America's next top self-surgeon' and 'Who's in the slow cooker?' and mentions that cooking masterclasses are in high demand. He also lights a bonfire right there in the studio in order to tell his story. Earl smiles by using his fingers to pull up the sides of his mouth.

Intern Jeffery Cranor tells us a story about Intern Felix's death and how souls work.

Louie Blasko tells us a story about a kid called Harold being murdered by spiders and haunting the NVHS locker room - in song.

Melony tells us of discovering the trapped soul of a person killed by an evil programmer inside of a computer, but fixed the computer as hired so its gone. She also says earthquakes are controlled by a red glowing gem, which you can connect to via wi-fi and use to do most anything. She uses one to get birds to attack her enemies. She says LOL is short for Loss of Lungs.

Michelle is having an open mic night where people who think of themselves as performers are invited to come and stare at the mic in silence. She tells of trying to record something only for a blank hiss to be on both sides of the tape, which she thinks makes her cursed. Cecil says the recording probably just fails and Michelle sighs that nothing fun ever happens to her.

Sheriff Sam tells us of their many, many fears which they apparently really needed to get off their chest.

The longest story is told by Cecil, who keeps taking breaks to allow others to tell their stories or do his regular show. He tries to make it into a story about a woman who died in a mill fire ten years ago and is picked up by a man who she gets to guide her back to said tragic place. In reality, he was retelling the story of his own childhood with supernatural elements and eventually tells us the actual truth.

He tells us that his mother left home when he was 14 and never came back as much as he tried to believe that she would. Because of this, Abby had leave school (assumedly collage or university, as she'd likely have had to be at least 18 to be legally allowed to raise him) to take care of him. He admits that he was petulent and subversive because he was upset their mom was gone and that Abby was not their mother. Abby was reserved and controlling in her grief and also blaming him for her having to drop out. This greatly strained their relationship for years afterwards.

Eventually their mother does come back when the two are already adults, aged beyond her years, worn down by the stresses of debt, alcohol and undiagnosed or even recognised mental illness.

Their mother died and only Abby was there, because Cecil was busy working. On the ten year anniversary of said death he did indeed pick her up and take her home, both of them still full of the grief of their childhood and of their mothers passing and not really healed but on their way to healing. Cecil testifies that most actual ghost stories are like this.

Cecil has, by his own recollection, been working in the station for at least thirty years as he remembers tripping on a specific wire there thirty years ago.

Stay tuned next for that uncertain moment of silence between the last word spoken and the first applause. And from a night that is so much like tonight, as to almost be – indistinguishable. Good night, Night Vale, Good night.

Meow Wolf, Santa Fe, NM, 5/26/23

Amanda Palmer returned to Meow Wolf seven years after playing an epic show with Jason Webley for the Grand Opening. This time she had Brian Viglione in tow as the Dresden Dolls opened a 3-night stand at this amazing venue. To get just the merest hint of how unusual this venue is pay attention to the backgrounds in the photos below.

I bumped into Amanda cruising the gathering crowd in her pre-show kimono and when asked what she was doing she replied, “I’m looking for a victim.” “For what?” I asked.

“My affection.”

Alrighty then. I generally just go with stuff like this and it (usually) becomes clear (eventually).

The Meow Wolf exhibit The House of Eternal Return was open until 10:00, and the performance venue is part of the exhibit, so doors for the show were at 10:00 and the show didn’t start until 11:00. This meant that Amanda, who had been wrangling Ash all day, was very tired by the end, but it didn’t seem to impact her performance much, although there was less intra-song banter than usual.

As has become customary of late the band ripped through the first five songs of the set with hardly a pause, and overall the set was tight in spite of some technical difficulties. Brian sang backing harmonies more often than typical and Amanda experimented with some echo reverb on her mic during select sections of several songs with mixed results: in some places it enhanced the ambiance of the song, but in others it was a bit distracting. Overall it was a solid kick-off to this short residency.

Annotated Set List:

Good Day Brian started on guitar before switching to drums, but Amanda crashed and burned on this one almost immediately, forcing them to start over. They finished flawlessly and continued to torch through the set without looking back.

Sex Changes

Gravity

Bad Habit

My Alcoholic Friends This was the first song I noticed Brian singing harmony in places.

Some piano tinkling seemed to tease Missed Me, but just as it seemed to maybe start to morph into something else Brian announced that one of his tom-toms was dying and had maybe 2 more songs in it. Amanda responded that the low G on her keyboard (or her “low G string,” as she called it) was also giving out. They basically shrugged and soldiered on.

Welcome to the Internet (Bo Burnham cover) This song was dedicated and sung to Sam, the 22yo (dubbed Sam the Zygote) who was the victim Amanda had chosen during her pre-show prowl.

Missed Me F’real this time. At one point a stray drumstick flew over Amanda’s head and Brian tried to blame the sound guy, but Amanda wasn’t buying it.

Mrs. O

Delilah (featuring Veronica Swift)

Whakenewha (pronounced Fuckin-A-Fa) Right at the start of the song Amanda noticed someone in the audience filming and asked them to stop, but rather than stop the song and speak to them she sang her admonition to the tune of the song, and then started the song over from the top without missing a beat.

War Pigs (Black Sabbath cover)

Amsterdam (Jacques Brel cover) Amanda continued her tradition of singing this one from the balcony, but it was a little odd in this case because the balcony had windows. Because everything about this venue is a little odd.

Mandy Goes to Med School with just a soupçon of “Careless Whisper” by Wham! as has become tradition.

(commercial to buy merch and, most importantly, join the Dresden Dolls eMail list for info on upcoming shows - a full tour was promised once the new album is done)

Coin-Operated Boy Through some musical alchemy this song transformed into “Never Tear Us Apart” by INXS - complete with kazoo solo! - before morphing back.

Half Jack 

——

Girl Anachronism This song turned into a bit of a hot mess as Amanda first mangled the chord progression, and then later the lyrics, resulting in two stops and restarts. My advice would be to just power through. Girl A is not some delicate shrinking violet of a song that needs precision. It is a powerful enough song to cross the finish line with a flat tire, some blown pistons, and flames shooting out the engine. Just go for it!

this one... you rolled well, my friend. this one is one of my favorites, the melancholy kind. it's hard to decide between these two verses:

I don't know if you struggled at the end I know at times you fought like hell I know that sleep was never quite your friend I hope that now you're resting well

and

Think of seed you've scattered and you've sown All out of your hands, lost in the wind like a little feather And the things you feel outsmart the things you know It's almost time, it's almost time

An old scrapbook found in a San Francisco dumpster, an enigmatic pyramid that presides over a small town in Washington State, and a story too implausible to have been fabricated. Jason Webley presents “Margaret”, a full length album and hardcover book based on the life and writings of Margaret Rucker, a poet whose tragic serendipitous story was rescued from the bottom of a garbage bin. “Margaret” features new music by Jason Webley, Eliza Rickman, Jherek Bischoff, Led to Sea, Shenandoah Davis, Lonesome Leash, Zac Pennington, and Mts. & Tunnels, and writings by Jason Webley and Chicken John Rinaldi. There’s no such thing as garbage.
