Evening Dei, nice Costco food court image
deirdre dionysiac (host) 8:21:08 PM
Evening Ossy! Land of our desire, the costco food court.
deirdre dionysiac (host) 8:21:33 PM
I've yet to provide context, but a post-flood and windstorm start to the show is what we're after
TAndy 8:36:56 PM
hi.
deirdre dionysiac (host) 8:37:43 PM
ohey.
TAndy 8:40:26 PM
This sample sounds familiar
deirdre dionysiac (host) 8:43:37 PM
Agree, idk what it's from though! That piece is over an hour of live mixing and stuff and it's great. Too many long pieces to cram in tonight
DSM 8:50:45 PM
I'd go to town at a Costco food court rn.
deirdre dionysiac (host) 8:51:35 PM
Shelter in place at the Costco, surely they will let us in?
DSM 8:51:46 PM
MEMBERS ONLY
deirdre dionysiac (host) 8:52:46 PM
Foibled. thought this members only jacket would do the trick
DSM 8:53:18 PM
my friend's cousin got his brothers costco card and says he can sneak us in to the food court, you in?
DSM 8:53:53 PM
we gotta buy him the hot dog combo tho : /
DSM 8:55:13 PM
Did you recently watch Pearl / X Deirdre? I have yet to
deirdre dionysiac (host) 8:56:19 PM
Just saw Pearl without knowing it was a sequel/prequel!
deirdre dionysiac (host) 8:56:42 PM
Really joyful performance by Mia Goth
DSM 8:58:33 PM
I'll have to check it. I really like that directors movie The House of the Devil.
Ossy 9:00:47 PM
The food court can be smelly though, especially with its condiments stand
Ossy 9:01:02 PM
Costco food court
TAndy 9:01:15 PM
ok
DSM 9:02:27 PM
lol
deirdre dionysiac (host) 9:03:15 PM
I'm smiling like Mia Goth, at this set, at the world, at everything, taking it all in
deirdre dionysiac (host) 9:03:41 PM
We're heading into the set of Clue next. I'm taking names
DSM 9:05:26 PM
I feel like 90% of the time I played it was Colonel Mustard with a lead pipe, location varied tho
Ossy 9:08:49 PM
Lol
deirdre dionysiac (host) 9:15:51 PM
This is a Professor Plum with a candlestick kinda set
TAndy 9:25:16 PM
This cover art rules, I would love to know the story behind it.
deirdre dionysiac (host) 9:29:59 PM
Horace created something called the "Union of God's Musicians and Artists Ascension" in LA in the sixties, based in the "Watt's Happening Coffee House" and the Immanuel United Church of Christ (probably pictured there). Undeniably cool fella
TAndy 9:32:30 PM
Wild how one man with such ambition for music created such a following around his works. Nothing but respect
deirdre dionysiac (host) 9:33:16 PM
you may have found it but the bandcamp for that album has a ton of info on him and that scene
TAndy 9:39:58 PM
And so it does! For some reason I cann't put it on my wishlist
deirdre dionysiac (host) 9:43:11 PM
harumph
TAndy 10:29:15 PM
been mostly speechless due to lack of sleep, but i am enjoying the music being played to a great extent. tonight's show being particularly lonely and almost sinister at some points. love the vibe.
deirdre dionysiac (host) 10:31:01 PM
Just channeling my January into musical being. You're awake, in need of sleep, and doing the next best thing, listening to music about sleep written by sleep-deprived people
deirdre dionysiac (host) 10:31:34 PM
This is Gina Fear narrating, for any From Nursery to Misery heads out there
TAndy 10:32:05 PM
glad that the energy is mutual
deirdre dionysiac (host) 10:36:04 PM
This is the night that my right arm is going to fall off from typing on the pewter. Oh well
TAndy 10:45:35 PM
Some of these will be of great use in the morning when I try to sleep. I may experiment with sleeping with music playing either in earbuds or bluetooth speaker. Insomnia for more than 3 weeks straight, willing to try anything that keeps me from needing diphenhydramine. even cbd and melatonin hardly budging me anymore
Jim Otter 10:47:03 PM
great show tonight Deirdre
TAndy 10:48:26 PM
morning sparrows <3
Jim Otter 10:49:08 PM
I am terrible at making apt comparisons but some of this Liis Ring reminds me in the tiniest bit of the old indie rock meets death/doom metal band Maudlin of the Well
deirdre dionysiac (host) 10:49:59 PM
Hey Jim. Glad you were with us, guess I need to check them out then! Name is familiar
Jim Otter 10:51:13 PM
I think it's really just a few chord progressions in common. Some of the members went on to Kayo Dot which is a lot less weird
deirdre dionysiac (host) 10:57:57 PM
And TAndy, I don't usually have sleep troubles (sorry) but did this week. Went with one earbud and podcast, hope this show helps you though
TAndy 10:58:42 PM
Ooh, I never got into this series myself. This title theme is very Elfman-esque. I thought this was a piece from the Edward Scissorhands soundtrack before I refreshed.
deirdre dionysiac (host) 10:59:21 PM
Me neither, my partner is playing Pikmin 4. I happened to hear this song elsewhere and found the latter part of it really beautiful
TAndy 11:00:17 PM
There's still loads of games I've needed to play for years... Omori, Ultrakill, and Everhood.
TAndy 11:00:31 PM
Whoops, time already. Thanks for the show, Deirdre. The time flew right on by. Have a good night.
deirdre dionysiac (host) 11:01:10 PM
I guess vidya games is home after all. That was my reaction as well, gnight TAndy, Jim and friends far and wide.
