Tad and Peggy. Several years ago, I was at the Casbah in San Diego while on tour. I was talking with a guy who worked there and when he found out I live in Seattle, his eyes lit up and he asked, “Do you know Pegadeth?” And proudly, I was able to answer, “Yes I do”. Peggy played bass in Brothers of the Sonic Cloth along side Tad. She also led a full on supergroup that put out an EP of grungy goodness under the name, Pegadeth. 

Tad has been busy scoring films and releasing monolithic solo records. His score for the horror movie Cara was just recognized by the Dead and Sudburied Film Festival in Sudbury, England. He delivered one of the best lines in the movie Singles (“I think you’ve got the wrong number, lady, but I’ll be right over”.) A true gem of a human being and a pillar of the Seattle music scene for nearly 40 years. If you’ve never seen the documentary Busted Circuits and Ringing Ears, I highly recommend it.

Heavee "Unleash"

Hi there for a new reviews column for Utter Sorcery I have picked some albums from the past year.

I list album then write a brief summation and a star rating and then a further summary of what I love about them and the art they have made. Stars are out of 5.

Heaveee “unleash “

Crystal clear arcs of experimental footwork exceptionally detailed and throbbing with energy!

Rating: 4 stars!

I really like the way the artist combines rhythm, sound design and melody. I also like that it’s quite melancholic and ravey in places…

Kim Gordon “The Collective”

Squalling feedback drenched monotone noise rock underpinned by crunching trap beats!

Rating: 4 Stars!

I really like Kim Gordon’s deadpan cool vocal delivery buried under layers of noise. I really respect her for trying something bold and fresh!

Route 500 “island perimeter “

Gifted and loving guitar miniatures set against Route 500's gorgeous baritone!

Rating: 5 stars!

I really love love love this album a very singular sound design artfully played and crafted…

M. Butterfly “the lonesome country sounds of M. Butterfly “ volume 1&2

Emotional, nuanced and beautifully played country music by Brighton’s most loved troubadour!

Rating: 5 stars

I love the way that the artist has captured his songs intimately in a spontaneous and fresh way!

Thomas Andrew Doyle “Amalthea”

Ambient soulful and impeccably designed music from prolific composer Tad Doyle.

Rating: 4 stars

I love how Thomas constantly morphs and changes his sound from album to album..for this lp he sounds inspired by Dylan Carson, Eno and Vangelis with some early Aphex Twin vibes too.

Cherry Plum “swimming”

Raw heartfelt and incisive song by Charlie Plum including breathtaking 20 minute confessional “Future Woman Super Woman”..

Rating: 4 stars

I love how creative this album is and how it is was recorded very spontaneously it’s full of beauty and insight.

Nobody AKA Willis Earl Beal “Black vol 1 + 2”

Lofi yet beautiful 2 part album featuring Nobody expressing aspects of his identity through rap, song and spoken word

Rating: 5 stars

I like the way Willis changes his output and style from release to release and his intensity behind the mic which sort of floors you.

[myblacknightworld]

every female character in recent history (not animated) tries to be Marguerite Krux (multidimentional, allowed to be a real person with real feelings and reactions and, most importantly, flawed, imperfect, and allowed to make mistakes and learn) so hard and yet they miss the target by half the distance between here and the sun, when everyone in studios should just understand that perfect doesn't mean better, quite the contrary

[12radish]

lol. I finally made a fic for this show, and fanart or the fanfic I made of the show. It’s like I’m obsessed.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/65192167

For the little comic I made, I STRUGGLED with Doyle. I think his lighting is cool, but his face haunts me. I love the way the show implies the nose with a shadow, but it’s really annoying when I’m trying to go a tad more realistic. As for Abbey, I adore the way I colored her hair.

For the fic, it’s about Abbey and Doyle talking about Van Rook after his death. Their dynamic has so much POTENTIAL.

[pitviperofdoom]

Any book recommendations? That remind you of fanfics you write? That inspire you? Or you just plain like?

Pretty much anything by Tamora Pierce, she's the kind of writer I want to be. The Protector of the Small series is my favorite of the bunch, but you do kind of have to read Song of the Lioness and The Immortals first, which are both also extremely good. They're all four-book series but I race right through them.

Favorite Neil Gaiman books are: Good Omens, The Graveyard Book, and The Ocean at the End of the Lane.

Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao is Pacific Rim meets Handmaid's Tale meets Hunger Games in a science fantasy version of China. Great book if you love it when a female character is also a rabid honey badger.

The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzie Lee. Bisexual british lordling goes on his Grand Tour with his best friend/crush, hijinks and manhunts ensue. I haven't read the other two books of the trilogy yet but I intend to.

Currently rereading The Lord of the Rings and loving it.

Tailchaser's Song by Tad Williams: cat-based xenofiction, but tone-wise it's more Watership Down than Warrior Cats. Rich animal fantasy with a kiss of cosmic horror.

Big fan of Jane Austen, favorites are Northanger Abbey and Pride and Prejudice. In the same vein, Evelina by Fanny Burney came out before Jane Austen's novels but occupies a similar vein of romantic satire of 18th century British society.

The original Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes stories are genuinely so good, I need to reread The Hound of the Baskervilles.

The Redwall series basically raised me as a child. A lot of my feelings about how stories should go come from what I absorbed from Redwall.

If graphic novels count, Mouse Guard by David Petersen.

HOW ID REWRITE ANGEL: THE SERIES

(bc i liked the show but i feel like things should have played out VERY differently) (i'm very biased towards certain characters also)

changes start around when cordy ascends to be a higher being and connor throws angel in the ocean

her boredom as a higher being leads to her coming back to earth (on her own accord!!) and giving up her godhood to do so, but retaining outward, physical demonic traits (themed around her brief appearance as a god bc i think the imagery there was very pretty) and this acts as a full circle moment for her character, mirroring doyle in season 1. whereas once she was disgusted by a half-demon, now she is one herself and couldn't be happier. she still has visions and some minor abilities but now she doesn't pass for human and doesn't get to be space-demon-god

connor and cordelia DOESNT HAPPEN. GIRL THAT IS YOUR SON. BOY THAT IS YOUR MOM. PULL YOURSELVES TOGETHER

more lorne. idc what happens with him i just want him to be more of a main character

cordelia and angel have some brief awkward flirtations(?) which are super weird and uncomfortable and they conclude that they love each other dearly, but aren't into each other Like That (they only thought so to begin with bc all their friends kept saying it) (but they're buddies :]]])

connor seriously struggles with holt's death, and has to grapple with the emotional confusion of trying to live with and cooperate with the very man he was raised for the sole purpose of killing. but angel investigations really want him to be ok so they take good care of him throughout, even if he is hesitant to accept

uhhhh eventually wesley does get apologetic about betraying his friends. it takes him a while but he does recognize and regret his wrongdoings

i don't know what the big bad should be in season 4 since i'd fully retcon everything needed to make that plot happen. i like to imagine it would be better though

they DO end up running wolfram & hart. since i think it's funny. and spike's arc remains the same with him returning as a ghost, coming back to life, etc etc. he'd be a smidge different though, a TAD less antagonistic. not because i think he wouldn't but because i'd like to see more of the spike we saw at the end of btvs (it'd be hard to justify with buffy not being present, but i still think it's doable)

harmony gets to be more of a character also!!! she and cordy hang out :)) she also takes her job as angel's assistant VERY seriously, but in that way that only harmony could be, which is to say: not very serious at all actually, but she's very determined about whatever the hell it is she's doing

more hints that angel and spike banged when they were evil because 1. i think it's funny, 2. the implications for their characters and dynamic are EXCELLENT. i would also like a few more friend moments for them. and maybe they kiss idk whaaaat who said that. no but seriously the werewolf girl doesn't happen and instead that plot is taken over by spike. imagine. i mean whattt

more of angel acting silly bc he was adorable in the first season and i'd love more of that

fred doesn't die suddenly and horribly. preferably not at all

gunn gets to care about literally anything other than himself in s5. more emphasis on his resilience? his will to survive? and how that makes him more loyal to the people in his life? pretty please? and he hangs out with wes because they were friends once?

with cordelia not gone maybe they could somehow move dennis to wolfram & hart? or maybe cordy has a new apartment he could stay at? idk i just thought he was fun and SURELY there's a spell for that

basically there's road bumps for sure but at the core of the show is a band of friends. they LIKE each other, because i genuinely believe that's where the show is strongest. i never really cared for the dramatic plotlines, im really only in it for the characters i adore and their (ALMOST ENTIRELY PLATONIC UNLESS ITS FUNNY) relationships to one another. and it's at its weakest when everything's all gloomy and dramatic. so let it be lighthearted and let them be FRIENDS

[throughpatchesofviolet]

I’m actually very curious on what ur favorite Heathcliff ID’s are actually (and, god forbid, least favorite?) (also yippee! Kurokumo soon)

I’m also curious about ur Self Insert and your ship and stuff if i can ask questions about that! i like to ask questions and learn stuff but am unfortunately pretty shy.

if I am allowed to ask, how does Sherry feel about the different ids of Heathcliff? :0 i’m curious - 🕯️

Oooh my goodness. Okay, 🕯️, I'm going to have to ask you to strap in, because I have so much to say about all these topics. /lh

(Under a cut, because guess who has too much to say? Me. /lh)

I'll start with Heathcliff's IDs!! Decided to make a tier list for them (excluding Kurokumo, for now--we'll talk about him after he comes out and I can test out his skills asdfhjkl).

Okay, so--if we exclude LCB, my favorite IDs are Pequod, Sunshower, and Seven. This doesn't mean I dislike any of the others, though!! Oftentimes, IDs cycle through my mind, and I tend to favor the ones I have more fleshed out AUs for. I have an Alternate Universe with my self insert for almost every ID and E.G.O, excluding N. Corp, Ya Śūnyatā Tad Rūpam, Binds, and Holiday--I do still like these four an awful lot, but I just don't think about them as often as I do the others!

I have all my Heathcliff cards at the maximum Uptie and Level, so I can use any of them whenever I want, and I often cycle between them! There isn't a single one I hate--but Full-Stop did take some time to warm up to, since he got spoiled for me ... I also have a few gripes about his kit, but I promise you I still love him.

And I am ALWAYS okay with ship questions!! It's not often I reblog ask games, anymore, so questions are always welcome. /gen

My self insert (or s/i for short) is Sherlock Holmes, or Sherry, as you already know (/lh). She is pretty directly inspired by her source (the Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle), but she also has a bit of myself thrown into her! There is often some overlap, though, because I relate to Sherlock a lot ... but specifically the version from the books--I haven't watched any of the shows or anything!

This is a very old (and now outdated) ref of hers--I've been meaning to redraw her for months, but things have been so hectic, I haven't had time nor energy (... or I get distracted playing video games).

I do also have some really lovely comms of her and Heathcliff, though!! All drawn by my friends:

(From top to bottom, the artists are @artistlara, @jils-things, and @laughinhope --they're all very talented!!)

Sherry's a Sinner, so she has a few Identities of her own! I ... just haven't gotten around to drawing them. That said, she's stubborn, and refuses to participate in combat, so she serves more as a strategist for the team, helping Dante with tougher fights. I do think she eventually becomes available as a deploy-able Sinner, but that's only after her Canto is wrapped up ... and she has a secret Passive that is linked to Heathcliff regardless of his ID, so I'd say she loves all of his Identities equally. Usually, she has an ID (or a cameo) in the Mirror World of each Heathcliff, so I think he recognizes and listens to her, no matter what, which helps a lot with her strategizing (since if Sherry's around, then Heathcliff is going to be a part of the strategy in some way--she likes making sure he gets opportunities to shine).

Oh! The two main things to know about Sherry is that she's from T. Corp, and thus has access to extra time through them, and her weapon of choice is a cane, with her "word"--Elementary--engraved on it. Her cane functions as a blunt weapon, but she has a sword inside that serves as a slash weapon, and the handle of the cane/sword can detach to serve as a gun for pierce damage! Her unnamed (... another thing I need to get to ...) E.G.O changes damage type based on what her target is weak to, so if she's targeting someone weak to blunt, it'll deal blunt damage, and if they're weak to pierce, it'd do pierce damage, so on and so forth. Ah ... and she's a former Color Fixer, as well. Should probably mention that, since it explains her relationships with some of the other characters in Limbus.

So I think in season 6 Gilmore Girls takes Rory and Lorelai's suburban lifestyle from being vaguely unrealistic to straight up delululand.

First of all, Richard and Emily support Rory for months, set her up with a job, remodel the pool house for her, and we're supposed to think they are horribly oppressive because they don't want her to sneak Logan over for sex?! She's a big girl, if she wants to have an adult life with adult pursuits and no restrictions, she can move out and seek them (which she does). What I don't understand is why she's entitled to have sex on her grandparents's property despite their protestations when she doesn't do that at her mother's house after the Dean debacle (Logan only spends the night after Rory asks for permission two years into their relationship and even then they don't sleep in the same bed) and why this course of action is so horribly punitive that it means that she doesn't have to pay them back for the first two years of Yale and accepts Christopher's money because she doesn't want to owe her grandparents anything. Girl, you owe them at least 70K and you are the one who set up the plan to repay them. Start saving.

Rory moves in with Paris and Doyle but it's never clear where her share of the bills comes from (Christopher, probably) since she doesn't seem to have a steady paying job, even though she claims she is living with them to stay humble. The connection between needing to work and having the ability to support yourself remains tenuous and will get only worse in AYITL.

However, we will move onto Luke and Lorelai. Luke never spends money and always has a ton of it. Lorelai mysteriously never had money issues after the Dragonfly opens. However, this gets kind of insane in season 6. Luke has thousands of dollars to drop on remodeling the house (and that's before TJ rips a giant hole in the upstairs). When April shows up, he tells Anna he will pay her TWELVE YEARS OF BACKDATED CHILD SUPPORT. Lorelai organizes her entire wedding in a day and secures a wedding dress and multiple deposits. When the wedding is postponed and Lorelai worries about losing the deposits, he just tells her they'll get new ones. Where the fuck is this middle class couple getting all this money? The average cost of a wedding in 2006 was 27,852. But sure, they'll just magically replace all that money they spent.

I can't say it gets any better in S7, because it's still ambiguous who's paying Rory's bills in the latter half of the season, Luke finances a child custody battle and a new boat, and Lorelai seemingly is prepared to take off weeks to go ride roller coasters with Rory right as Sookie is nearing the end of her third pregnancy. At this point, I'm guessing we'll just go with the flow, but it does make Lorelai's conversations with Logan about Rory needing to stay humble seem a tad hypocritical.

have you done a poll on the best grunge/alternative singer yet, and if not could you?

Keeping this mostly to grunge/grunge-adjacent bands' lead vocalists (to prevent the poll from being HUGE) but as usual, leave your other favorites in the reblogs and replies!
