BJM AND THE FUCKING DANDY WARHOLS ARE PLAYING TOGETHER IN AUSTIN IN OCTOBER!!! no one speak to me ever again this is the best goddamn thing to ever happen to me and tickets are being acquired as we speak

somehow my ass managed to figure out a very precise detail from the diane perry tape... was listening through and realized it's a fucking radio session! so i did some digging trying to figure out when and where this was broadcasted, but as usual, couldn't find jack. then i came across this moment in the video where the host and anton are talking about a live bjm show that's being played at the dna lounge with spike 1000 as the opener "on tuesday." so i was like, hm, what's the dna lounge? looked it up and it's this night club in san francisco with live music, which is obvs where bjm was based out of, so it's a hit. searched up dna lounge and brian jonestown massacre together and found this calendar page on their website, with all of the past shows from 1985-1999... turns out bjm DID play with spike 1000 as the opener on august 30, 1994 which was a tuesday! i was so happy when i found this, i could've fucking kissed the person who made this page and compiled all of the past shows, this is why archiving is so damn important. so jwz from san francisco, you're my fucking guy. anyway, so basically the diane perry tape was recorded at MOST a week before that show at the dna lounge, i just don't know exactly what date and i'll probably keep digging and see if i can figure out what the radio station was or who the host was. i'm gonna figure this shit out.

also i did uncover some new evidence concerning "fade" from pol-pot's pleasure penthouse... randomly stumbled upon this chinese website that listed the length of every song on the album and fade was there! coming in at 3:19, so my theory is that this song is more akin to the cures (which have singing and are more so actual songs) rather than the other fades (which are purely instrumental). i couldn't figure out how to create an account though, unfortunately. so fade is still lost and seems to exist nowhere else on the internet except this random chinese website. what the fuck even is my life.

anyway so yeah!! more bjm things i uncovered and i'm proud of my detective work. it's always something when it comes to this band

BJM MONTH BEGINS TOMORROW!!! what is bjm month you may ask? well for the past two years i have listened to the brian jonestown massacre the most in july so i've dubbed it bjm month. i am still heavily obsessed with this band and listen to them all the time, there's not a day that goes by i don't think about them. may have to talk about my top songs or albums or something, i just need to make sure to do something special for this month! show my appreciation for this band and how much they've changed my life. hard to believe it's been 2 years... actually my 2 year anniversary of listening to them was YESTERDAY. didn't even realize until now. june 29, 2021... wow. first laid ears on anemone, then pish, then drained. what a way to start off my bjm era. clearly my interest was most caught by fingertips and vad hande med dem, and so it all began. still thanking the spotify gods and my own interest for this, who would i even be now without bjm.

but! yeah, considering i'm their biggest fan ( don't even bother arguing with me on this <3 ) i think i owe bjm some rants and raves so look forward to that. and i am going to talk about my very precise detective work when it comes to this band. there are new things i have discovered. they will be shared.

my favorite thing in the world to do is assign music to characters. and by assign i mean figure out their fav bands. fav songs, fav albums, fav musicians … their listening habits, their opinions in music. are they a music snob? do they not really care? do they listen more during the day, while working, or while they’re chilling at night? what are their unpopular music opinions? genres/decades they fancy? there’s so much you can do here and so much character depth you can add and uncover.

sometimes i just. lob artists/bands at characters to figure out what they’d think. grow their music taste and opinions yk. i think about the holts from adf quite often, it’s just fun to see the differences between three brothers and even their parents and how music is passed down vs how some go against the grain. dale might love the smashing pumpkins and tyler might hate them. complain about billy corgan’s voice, cross his arms and think about how much he hates this and how much he’d rather hear something like what’s the story morning glory (oasis). but not wonderwall! no, that’s beneath him, he may tolerate it but he doesn’t love it and resents the idea of it being assigned his favorite song just because he likes oasis. he doesn’t understand dale’s interest in weird shit like supertramp but can silently appreciate the rolling stones even if he finds it appalling that their album cover is a guy’s bulge. tyler can appreciate 70s but he just doesn’t…love it. too many long intros, not enough singing - i think tyler does enjoy hearing someone’s voice, so all that rock n roll guitar solo shit doesnt really fly with him. i know he’d just die if he ever heard dale play shine on you crazy diamond, he’d be like wtf is this? no turn it off i want to hear some real music. and dale’s like bro, this IS real music. this is literally pink floyd. and tyler’s all, i don’t give a shit change it. and dale’s like fine whatever. then tyler is like no, i don’t wanna listen to david bowie, just put it on some 90s or even some good 70s stuff, i just don’t wanna hear those weird solos. so funny to me.

and dale! i don’t see dale being into a whole lot of pink floyd - maybe just the popular stuff, esp the wish you were here album. if he dove into it more i think he’d enjoy it (especially the wall) but just hasn’t really given pf a big ole chance yet. just into weird shit, just music made for that certain demographic that people like tyler can’t and maybe never will understand. dale’s experimental and nods off to reggae, bob marley and (by extension) bunny wailer, and alton ellis. watches old docs on woodstock and the doors and jimi hendrix. probs got into stevie ray vaughan through his cover of hendrix’s “little wing,” he can just really appreciate a good fuckin’ guitarist. i think he’s a little all over the place, kinda the guy that listens to everything w other people’s influence, picking up on new songs along the way, kind of a magnet for new music. he loves his mom’s taste in music and they listen to some similar stuff. not sure yet if dale got sharon into reggae or if it’s the other way around. either way i feel like reggae is important to dale, he enjoys uplifting music and doesn’t really fuck with depressing shit, maybe more mellow stuff here and there but nothing like what jay would ever listen to. some of it is just too dark for him. so i do think he has a bit of a line despite picking up so much from others. doesn’t mean he dislikes grunge, he just doesn’t really enjoy songs like black or polly or even jeremy. tyler’s similar, not that he hates grunge or anything but if he even got a glimpse of nirvana’s “rape me” he’d be super turned off.

surprisingly i can see all three listening to pearl jam, kinda something that keeps the whole fam together. jay obviously enjoys the ten album, jeremy and black and once… thinks that whole album is a masterpiece. tyler likes yellow ledbetter and some other stuff off of vs, elderly woman and daughter… and dale i think also likes vs, def yield and maybe even some vitalogy ? better man and faithful, given to fly? yeahhhh. jay’s a full grunge fan, likes that crusty 90s, sonic youth and pixies and nirvana.. maybe a little old country thrown in from his dad. could definitely see jay being a deadhead if he’d ever been able to keep up with a band like that and wasn’t stuck to the confines of two rock. just enjoys jamming to music, electric guitar vibes all around. when it comes to blur vs oasis jay is probably gonna choose blur, much to his brother’s chagrin. not that he’d admit that, he’d probs say something like “i like em both..” just nodding along when tyler’s music snobbery comes up. unlike dale he doesn’t really mind that tyler doesn’t open his mind to different music. meanwhile i bet it annoys dale that tyler won’t even give songs a chance just because of the title. also have mentioned this in the past but jay does like a lot of girl singers, mazzy star and hole and sonic youth,, maybe even the cranberries ? can see “linger” being a guilty pleasure song of his. also he’d def enjoy the smashing pumpkins (which i am listening to rn hence why i’m bringing it up lol) so he and dale have that in common i imagine. shockingly enough i think jay might also weirdly be into like, 60s to mid-70s bob dylan? none of that christian shit he got into later in life but definitely simple twist of fate and like a rolling stone… that whole highway 61 album. maybe is possibly obsessed with that black and white bob dylan aesthetic, firing back at reporters and smoking cigarettes in every vid and being up on stage all by himself, just a guitar and harmonica. black shades and everything… and no i’m NOT just saying this because i’m also obsessed with bob dylan but jay seems the type what can i say.

so, the gist? dale is weird experimental mostly 70s/some 60s shit, tyler is 90s alt rock and jay is moreso 90s grunge and rock and shoegaze. can’t see any of them being much into 80s, maybe jay could get into the cure with some time but as of now i can’t see him being into it yet. bet dale could appreciate those synth solos that were so popular. maybe sharon listens to a bit of 80s… not too sure yet i’d have to see. i mean thats probs the era jay grew up in so? who knows. but yeah, dale is into bob marley and tyler oasis and jay nirvana, their tastes can obviously overlap and it’d be hilarious to see what they’d do with a joint playlist between all three of them and how they’d react to each others songs, may write that someday if the time is right.

why did i write this? because i needed to expel all of these jumbled music thoughts in my head and these three are the easiest to do that with. this may not be canon to anyone else in the adf fandom (btw this is not even my fandom but i’m here hi) but it makes sense in my head and i’m sticking with it. i may go deeper someday if anyone is interested or if inspiration strikes again so, we shall see. but yeah here hands you this essay

no words or thoughts, just the jimi hendrix version of the star spangled banner at woodstock 1969 . wow

I wished with all my heart that we could just leave this world behind. Rise like two angels in the night and magically disappear.

working on my new person of interest / warrior cats au. not gonna be the same person after this

Person of Interest (2011-2016) || 3x12 - Aletheia

ben linus is actually a ravenclaw and i will defend that to my death

i really wish just SOME writers on tv right now had the like, really intrinsic, focused understanding of faith and religion that's present in person of interest, with Root's devotion to the machine, to the ideal of cybernetic enhancement, but also like. to HAROLD by extension

like the way she sees harold as her father in some ways because she sees him as THE father, not bc she sees him as a father FIGURE, not because she needs or wants his approval or his parenthood, but bc he is the originator of a GOD, her god

LIKE IT'S JUST. SUCH A FASCINATING DYNAMIC

like i fucking wish that anyone who wrote for a fantasy show with ACTUAL paladins and witches w faith etc had this level of depth or complexity in their presentation or exploration of the feelings involved bc i love it

THE X-FILES - Season 1: Mulder + glasses

lost really said that your past doesn’t define you and that you are not irredeemable. you are still a good person even if you’re not perfect. there is a place where you belong and where you are loved, a place where you can be free. you are not alone and you never were. there are people in this world who will love and accept you no matter what and that connection is more important than anything. and then just expected me to be okay ????

Today is a very important day.

Warriors: Into the Wild was first released on January 21st, 2003.

Which makes today the twentieth anniversary of the book that started it all.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, WARRIORS!

tfw you get a date with the sexy maid

Playing with my hyper realistic Jerma doll

help! i will never stop treating the dollhouse like a psychological thriller!

I went ahead and redesigned the Mystery Inc Gang because I hate Velma and HBO Max for what they’ve done to my blorbos. Also they’re college students now cuz I have a brain

actually OBSESSED with this take… glad to see someone else in this fandom rising up to the occasion!! lol fr though this analysis is simply wonderful and i really like the idea that emilia had to escape from an abusive situation which has shaped who they are as a person, giving them some hard edges. emilia is quick to like jerma, but they’re also very critical and defensive - something i think could mirror this theory! like they need to be in control ( maybe because they’ve had a lack of it for so long ) and have a difficult time maintaining the idea that someone likes them for who they are, rather than simply using them. the entire maid service is built upon the idea that the “sexy maid” is used for some sexual gain but as you said, jerma flips the script and doesn’t do this.

emilia has grown so accustomed to people using and hurting them that they are floored by jerma’s behavior. of course, it’s not entirely restrictive - jerma does flirt - but this is something that emilia actually seems partial to in a genuine way! even growing defensive when jerma doesn’t seem to think they’re immediately sexy. maybe this potential ex put emilia down a lot and the maid service is their way of gaining back some of that love / control they never had in that relationship. plus, they seem pretty eager to go on this date with jerma, so i wouldn’t be surprised if they’re desperate to put this past behind them in any way possible and simply move on. and like you mentioned, hearing jerma think they’re beautiful - in every way, shape, and form - is something they didn’t know they needed to hear, and perhaps had never heard in their life.

definitely agree that emilia wanted revenge and was hurt by what happened! jerma never truly apologized, or at least not so soon after what happened, and i think that could’ve made emilia feel like they were used again - something which would hit hard. especially because it seems like they were starting to trust jerma to be a good person. but that trust is broken and emilia does go out of their way to destroy jerma’s life, in a mix of hilarity and tragedy ( as this stream so often shows ). emilia and jerma could’ve been beautiful together, but outside forces tore them apart and i think that’s genuinely sad, when if they had just communicated better i think they would’ve been fine! but that’s a lot of what this stream is about - outside forces - and how they shape you as a person, so i think it makes sense in the end. always gonna hope they have a future in another life though <3

thanks for responding to my info dump and giving me some tidbits on emilia!! this was fun to whip up in response, so if you have anything else, feel free to share! i’m all ears lol. us jerma dollhouse fans gotta stick together yk?

actually so sad that there are no analyses on jerma dollhouse …. aside from the 2 on youtube i saw but they talk more about the general themes of the story / bringing theater to twitch in a creative and successful way. haven’t seen anything on the characters and i’m kinda starved for that rn! i think i’m too stupid to try my hand at an analysis, but a character study on jerma or emilia or even someone like jebediah would be so fun methinks. whether that would be ignoring chat’s involvement in the whole thing or making it a part of the analysis … would be fun to throw that out the window though and treat the characters ( mainly jerma ) as their own people who act on things themselves rather than being told or forced to. like why is jerma so flirty. is this learned behavior? a defense mechanism?? why is he like that??? it puts him in the most awkward, uncomfortable situations and i wanna know WHY !! again shoving chat to the back of my mind here, just pretending jerma has complete self-control and acts on his own whims … why does he act like that.

obviously i’m taking this stream / story way too seriously but i don’t care it’s what i do!! treating comedy and crack as seriously as possible is what i find the most fun in life. and jerma’s story here is a mixture of hilarious and tragic, something i desperately want to analyze, but again, not sure if i necessarily have the capabilities to. though there would be certain things i’d want to comment on, such as : jerma and emilia’s relationship, dying and escaping death ( then ruining your life by adding on some extra years ), jerma’s friendships and interactions with others, and the crushing weight jerma always seems to carry on his shoulders while hiding it all from the world at the very same time. just a few things i really enjoyed during the stream and would love to talk about if possible. hell, maybe i will sometime, if i can actually get my act together and analyze these characters, plots, and themes. not saying it’ll all be correct or canon, but it would be fun! bringing a bit of reality in.

anyway there’s some of my thoughts on jerma dollhouse and how much it already means to me …
