Seattle, WA -- Last week, dream pop duo Bubble Tea and Cigarettes released their new single "Room 907" in partnership with Lauren Records. The melodic track spans just about 3.5 minutes long and its lush layers will have you in a sonic spell. The instrumentals have a gentle lull to them that feels like a soft wave crashing against the shoreline. Bubble Tea and Cigarettes will have you in full yearning mode with the lithe vocals and atmospheric soundscape. "Room 907" has a quiet power, like a whisper in the night or the budding sunlight just before sunrise - a time in the day where your deepest questions emerge.

Diners is the vehicle for the music of Blue Broderick (I can't really tell if she's from Arizona, Oregon or California). "Domino" is the new album due in August. Mo Troper assisted on this and previous releases, and you can tell.

But this is also self-described "friendly pop songs" in the vein of BMX Bandits and/or Belle and Sebastian. At times this really recalls 1970s AOR pop (Raspberries or Big Star). Good stuff.

"Four Wheels and the Truth" was released by Lauren Records (California), but the new LP is being released by Bar/None (Hoboken, New Jersey).

one thing I love about Hilda is that she's canonically a REALLY annoying vegetarian. like, Johanna has to warn Astrid that they NEED to put these fish back before Hilda catches them, otherwise she'll prolly eat THEM for dinner. she finds out that some seemingly random people put a fishing net in the water and judges them SO hard for it. I just know that if she was invited round for Christmas dinner and whatever family was hosting had a turkey on the table, she'd sit there with her arms crossed and refuse to eat, and go off on whoever made it as if the personally killed the damn bird. Johanna just lets it happen, she's lost this argument so many times, there's no point.

Hi there! I started relistening to the bright sessions (as one does) and had a random question come up. When did you know that Mark/Sam wasn't going to be endgame (romantically)? I know in s4 they both fall apart separately and together, but even in Safehouse pt 2 (my absolute beloved) they argue about their coping mechanisms. Did you know then that they weren't going to end up together? How did you come to that conclusion?

hey!! this is a great question - I definitely did start the show thinking they were endgame and that's mostly what I was thinking at the time of safehouse too, despite their issues. I think it was really in writing Season 4 actually, when I realized that I was no longer telling a story about two people in love working through their issues, but was instead telling a story about two people who were in love but realized they shouldn't be together in that way. I started to feel those tension points in Season 3 (I would say the safehouse episodes were a true attempt for them to learn to work through their issues), but it wasn't until planning S4 that I really made the decision.

there are a lot of things that led to this that I'll try to articulate, because the honest, simplest answer as to why the plans changed was "because it felt like they should". but if I were think back and pinpoint a few reasons for that...

there was never supposed to be a love triangle. Mark was always bisexual but he and Damien were never supposed to develop feelings for one another. but the first time we got Andrew and Charlie into a room and read through their first episode together it was like "oh, OH-kay" (which, sidebar: clearly I was writing something between them subtextually because it wasn't like Andrew and Charlie were strangers to each other - I'd watched them act ALL sorts of scenes together in acting class but the romantic chemistry popped OUT with Mark/Damien. pretty much from the second motel episode on, I was writing leaning into that dynamic). that threw a lot of spanners into the works because while I never had plans to put Mark and Damien together, I hadn't anticipated Mark grappling with feelings for someone else.

similarly, I'd underestimated just how flawed Sam was. Sam is not a bad person, but she sometimes doesn't really know how to be a person who cares about other people. when you add that to the dynamics of Damien and Joan kind of, like, hovering over Mark in various unproductive ways (for Damien, it's destructive and invasive; for Joan, she's just a too-involved older sister sometimes), Sam becomes another person who is kind of, like...controlling Mark, or trying to, because she loves him and doesn't know how to (I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm just regurgitating actual lines I wrote lol). this is not to say that her flaws make her unable to be in a relationship (Mark is also deeply flawed!) but just that their flaws clashed against each other in ways I hadn't planned.

finally: Joan and found family. in my mind, there was something grand and romantic about Sam meeting Dr. Bright so that she could be led to Mark - like they were somehow always fated to meet. in actuality, it's not that at all - instead, the bond that Sam and Joan have is just as important as the one she has with Mark, albeit different. I don't believe in soulmates personally, but I've always liked the idea that you have people out there. soulmates in a more general sense - people you click with, have a connection with. it can be romantic, familial, friendship, work or creative partnerships, whatever. I think the Bryant siblings and Sam have that. I think Sam and Mark are meant for each other but in a non-exclusive way and in a...maybe not non-romantic way, but a way that doesn't have romance at the forefront. they love each other deeply and they fit, but a romantic partnership might not be the best way forward for them. and Joan and Sam are the whole heart of the show to me in some senses. as I was writing the finale, I very intentionally ended with the two of them - both because the final appearance of every character is in order of when they first appeared, but in reverse and also because the show starts with both of them in dark, destructive places and while there's broken trust between them throughout, they ultimately help each other get better. I thought Sam's story was about finding love and it was, but that love looked differently than I had planned.

okay, god, this has gotten waaaaaay too long and rambly. I hope this answers your question? one of my favorite things/the thing I miss most about making a show like TBS is being able to shift things based on chemistry/what the actors bring/etc. so often now, I'm writing entire seasons of things and then handing them off to production, in which anything can happen! the flexibility of recording episode by episode in TBS is something I took full advantage of.

thanks for listening and relistening!!

At this point the only thing keeping me from adding other characters from mcyters into this world is the fact that it would, eventually bring me to the point of "Xornoth and Scott's little sibling, Aimsey" and at that point there is no salvaging the original storyline.

It's a whole separate au that I'll have to come back to after this one is more or less done

Wow. Worriers "Imaginary Life" has blown me away. I love music like this - it reminds me of bands like The Thermals, Green Day, Soul Asylum and The Men. Anthemic, punchy, melodic...and punk.

Lauren Denitzio is the songwriter behind the band, and "Imaginary Life" is the debut LP from Worriers (Brooklyn, New York). Many websites mention the political nature of Denitzio's lyrics. That along with the punch makes me also think of Ted Leo/Pharmacists.

I wasn't one bit surprised to see that this was released by Don Giovanni Records. This was produced by Laura Jane Grace of Against Me!
