My favorite song is probably bow down or maybe taxes

I was kind of hesitant to listen to them because of their sudden popularity but the hype was worth it! Their sound feels so fresh but at the same time I think they fit in well with this wave of experimental indie rock bands like bcnr, black midi etc.

It’s fun to see a New York band get popular because I looove the 2000s garage rock revival and the earlier punk/new wave scene that took place there!

Anyways that’s my geese talk hope you enjoyed

Ayy geese talk I have enjoyed !!

I started listening to Cameron Winter earlier this year, I did his "Heavy Metal" album as an album of the week in May.

And I found geese thru the single Taxes actually! I kinda knew them at first as the band Cameron Winter's is in, (not to discredit the other members ofc) I think Taxes is really good, I like the music video, love the lyricism, good song. Little tragic lines like these are simple and clever. I like how the note is held for quite a while on "down" as well.

(I've been doing a little sketchbook of lyrics I like for fun, trying out some fake-posca knockoffs and I suppose practising my freehand typography. It's low-stakes and enjoyable.)

I also like 100 Horses and ofc Pays du Cocaine on the "Getting Killed" album, it was my album of the week last week so I'm still on early listens with the other songs.

I watched their live performance of 3D Country on KEXP it was coool. And I've listened to some of their covers;

Justin Bieber's "Baby" - I was kinda obsessed with this and downloaded the song via youtube to mp3 so I could put it on my spotify playlists. I used to hate bieber when i was younger but I actually really like this cover, it's funny bc he's talking about his 13yo first love but it's actually pretty fun and the Ludacris verse nearly sounds like Elvis Presley with the way they've arranged it. Reminded me that in covers your should try make the song your own :)

Talking Heads' "This Might Be The Place"

Bee Gees' "Staying Alive"

I like bcnr and black midi too, I've listened to Georgie Greep's The New Sound album too so makes sense I like this scene / wave.

My own sheep photography to go with your photo :) (I love sheep!)

Oh wait, was Celia, perhaps in the spiral? If she was... With Helen's death... What if she mastered the ability to open doors to other universe's becoming like, not necessarily an avatar but avatar adjacent? No idea if that makes any sense lol.

-g

I don't think Celia has gained any sort of Avatar powers, I'm guessing since in TMA she has lost her original name and memories that she had been stuck with the Stranger. And given her odd, unwilling teleportations/possible sleepwalkings, I don't think that's an ability influenced by a fear, but rather a side effect of her having been thrust into a new universe.

As for Jack I believe it was implied that she had him after coming to this particular universe. Her saying she had a "wild couple of years when she moved here but she came out the end with him" (paraphrasing) is meant to convey that I think.

As for what we're listening to, the different noises at the start of each "listening" session clues us in to what is being used to record. The computer startup noises, phone number dialing, video call ringing, security camera lens adjustment, etc.

I can easily imagine Eclipse telling Robin about his brothers and then one day Robin get’s paired with one of them for a missing and they CAN BARELY contain their giggles, cause they KNOW but more importantly they know based on Eclipse’s latest texts that Sun unceremoniously tripped yesterday and both Eclipse and Moon were laughing at him in the brother group chat (that Eclipse showed Robin of course)

Saros, Non Canon Drabble, ~2.8K words

The saros (/ˈsɛərɒs/) is a period of exactly 223 synodic months, approximately 6585.3211 days, or 18 years, 10, 11, or 12 days (depending on the number of leap years), and 8 hours, that can be used to predict eclipses of the Sun and Moon. As a field agent, Robin doesn't usually spend time in the labs. That just happens to be where their friend usually resides - and they have some rather interesting news to share.

🍯- describe your favorite smell

Ummmm. My deodorant, fabric softener and the smell in my Dad's header (wheat harvester).

Have you listened to the new underscores songs yet? Waddya think?

I can see why they’re b sides because they don’t really fit sound wise, but they’re still amazing!!

Gabby start (who features on a few underscores songs) also released a new single today which is also really good! I haven’t heard his stuff before so I checked it out and I like it better than what he contributes in the features :3

Anyway, happy Friday and good luck!

Yes !! I listened to them this morning I think i need to sit with them for a bit to really listen (i always like to listen to things a few times to catch details, familiarise and like

I think they could've possibly fit in soundwise, but with the steps / parts of the story i'm not sure where they would've slotted in? It's probably a mix of both not being perfect in either aspect and it would make the album over an hour.

I've seen some people saying CCTV was too dark for the main album so things like that too.

I really like it tho !! I'm sure it's all gonna grow on me too so i'll have fun listening to these for the next while.

Stupid (Can't run from the urge) is so fun !! love how it sounds.

I do like gabby's part in locals and I did watch some of the recent vlog on the underscores youtube so it was interesting to watch them come up with that and make the beat.

I only just listened to loansharks for the first time, not as good i suppose. Boys is fun for sure tho :D

gotta update one of my playlists, the one i put this sorta music on is called "skibidibop" lmao has nothing to do with skibidi toliet tho, i only just realised that it's the same word. It just was tryna describe the song in a funny way and i call songs bops all the time hahahah

I've been listening to Wallsocket and Brat by Charli XCX so much lately lol. With lot of other stuff too but those two albums have been the ones rotating for me teheheh.

wayy more wallsocket tho seemingly teheheh.

Okay so I love protocol so far!!! I've of course forgotten all the characters names but it's so funny LMAO.

Like the first episode

"Bones are a lie peddled by Big Milk to keep you buying. No such thing."

Also, ARE JON AND MARTIN STUCK IN OLD TECHNOLOGY DHDHD

That would be so fucking cool!

I know I've finished up to 4 or 5, goodness the way these people talk about carving their own skin or turning into a plant or fucking playing a violin is really something.

Also 👀, I'm really curious about what the Magnus Protocol is, why is it so secret and research 121 (I think I got the numbers right). What is going on there.

I can't quite tell if the 'Augustus' voice sounds like Jonah Magnus or not? I don't think I got used enough to his voice to tell. (But my current running theory is Jonah Magnus or Robert Smirke dhdhd).

WHOOHOO PROTOCOL TIME BABEY!

My faves from the eps you've listed there are certainly the "artist doing her self portrait" and the "doctor turning into a garden" cases for sure. There are certainly more gems on the way thought.

Alice is a crack up, I adore her.

Oooh yeah the response 121 and the fact that the Magnus Institure is CLEARLY different from the one we know of? Good stuff, love the mystery.

Anyways, starting on protocol tomorrow. Thank you so much for rambling with me on my journey through this! I'll be back with protocol nonsense sometime later haha

CONGRATS ON MAKING IT TO THE END!

I knoooow right, no bodies, no evidence of what could have happened, no nothing. Who knows what their fate might have been.

>:3

And thank you for chatting with me about your journey through the series! It's been a blast!
