June 7 - What's a cover you prefer over the original?

senmut

I'm not asking for bashing of the original, or even that you dislike the one and love the other.

I'm just looking for a song that you (either for musicality or because you heard the cover first) prefer the cover.

Mine is definitely a "I heard the cover first so the original sounds off".

"Hazy Shade of Winter" was released by the Bangles in 1987, had apparently been a staple of their live shows for 5 years at that point. I don't think I consciously heard the Simon & Garfunkel version until I was in my 20s.

don't click here until you choose your own to share

I am firmly expecting someone to mention "Hurt" and "Sounds of Silence" in comments.

The Soviet Union based spin-off continues apace. This episode puts the spotlight on some different characters than the first two, while providing one of the answers to the set up questions already.

( Clearly, someone in the scriptwriting team likes The Lives of Others a lot, and I approve )

In conclusion: Another suspenseful episode of the John Le Carré meets Space Exploration show!

* I did a podcast interview with Smart Bitches, Trashy Books about Murderbot and Platform Decay (warning: spoilers) https://smartbitchestrashybooks.com/podcast/721-exploring-platform-decay-with-martha-wells/

* I stumbled on a really great review of Witch King from back in 2023. I don't think I saw it at the time, but because of the cancer diagnosis and all the travel when the book came out, that time is mostly a blur. https://everybookadoorway.com/intimate-majesty-witch-king-by-martha-wells/?referrer-analytics=1

* Murderbot Season 1 won the Ray Bradbury Award For Outstanding Dramatic Presentation last night at the SFWA Nebula Awards! Congrats to Paul and Chris Weitz and everyone on the Murderbot cast and crew!!!

* Also N.K. Jemisin was made the SFWA 42nd Damon Knight Memorial Grandmaster at the same ceremony, and her speech was awesome! You can see it on YouTube here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nmAxXj7-xxA&ra=m It's the first speech after Tananarive Due's toastmaster address.

- Gutted by the death of Anthony Stewart Head.

- I've been watching so many movies lately. Many other life tasks and ambitions have been iffy, but an A+ in movie watching. Yesterday I saw Backrooms again. Still good a second time! Cosmic horror and impossible spaces are exactly my jam, but also it turns out the A24 vibe really works for it. I've spent a lot of time scrolling social media about it. Tomorrow I might go see Obsession again.

- The thing about the backrooms is their basic concept and visuals are very easy to replicate, so no doubt we're all going to be totally sick of them within two months, but in the meantime, this backrooms riff on the official McDonald's channel is a lot of fun. I can't say it makes me want to go eat a burger, but as an elder millennial some of the imagery definitely got me.

- As someone who likes both numbers and horror movies, it's been a hell of a time to be watching the box office. Obsession INCREASED its receipts for the second AND the third weekend, which is absolutely absurd outside of the Christmas holidays (when releases and days off shift a lot of patterns around). "Little horror wins big" obviously calls The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity to mind, but in terms of percentage increases the most recent comp is probably freaking E.T.. Incredible.

Meanwhile Backrooms obliterated all A24's previous records in the first weekend and is now, in week 2, their biggest movie ever.

- Speaking of Youtubers making good: The Future Of Horror Filmmaking Is YouTube ... If You're A Dude. Yeah. :/

- The Dog Stars doesn't look good, but Jacob Elordi looks good in it, so I'll probably still see it. ;__; And Margaret Qualley, too!

- The Dead Meat Horror Awards have released their list of movies, although not the categories yet. I did such a good job watching horror movies last year that there are only 2-3 here that I haven't seen and might want to. (Dangerous Animals, The Toxic Avenger, maybe Black Phone 2. Maybe Ick??)

1. I got some cardamom buns from the farmers market this morning. Tried a sample at the stall and they were delicious, but haven't eaten the ones I bought yet. There was another stall that had really good smelling strawberries, so I got some berries and am planning on having those with the buns in a little bit. I think it will be a good combo!

2. I finished up a puzzle this morning. This was a nice one but not one I think I'll keep.

3. We have a new car!

If you missed my other recent posts talking about what we were leaning towards, it's a Hyundai Ioniq 5. I'm so excited to make the switch to an EV. We've still got the Telluride, which is gas, but we won't be using it as much. I'll use the new car for my commute and when we do longer drives like Disneyland, and leave the Telluride for when Carla needs a car when I'm at work. But with the ebikes as well, there should be less around town driving, too.

Now we just need to get an electrician in to set up a charger at home.

4. Speaking of the bikes, I got some smaller plastic containers to store our Christmas decorations, so that got rid of the giant tub that was sticking out from the shelf in the shed and now there's more room for the bikes in the center.

5. We went to the dealership around eleven or so but of course it took several hours to get through everything, so it was like three when we got out of there and we were so hungry. But it's right near the Italian deli, so we stopped off there on the way home and got sandwiches.

6. And then because buying the car had been emotionally exhausting, even if not physically so, we decided to order dinner rather than cook and got curry from Coco Ichibanya, so today was a very good food day.

7. This may be one of the cutest pictures of Gemma I've ever taken. Definitely one of the cutest!

So I am being a sap. As today is the 20th anniversary of my now wife and I exchanging contact information and starting on the road that led to here.

Do you have an oh moment you would be comfortable sharing?

Mine was almost definitely in the month after I moved here, and a perfectly normal conversation where I was watching this bright, lovely woman who had offered me freedom... and I knew I could not see a future without her. Just... had to grow into what it wished to be from there.

Today's find: Mörder Guss Reims: The Gustave Leberwurst Manuscript (1981)

$radiantfracture: Small painting of Penguin book (Books post)$

I have to leave the house sometime. I sent myself downtown to pick up more black ink and paper for loon prints. On impulse, I leapt onto the #6 bus instead of the homeward vessel and rode out along Quadra through a sudden pelting rainstorm. Riding the bus suits my habitual (and currently intensified) feelings of displacement and liminality.

I got out at Royal Oak Shopping Centre, a disorientingly centreless mass of self-spawning plazas.

The attraction of the Royal Oak is the Smart Bookshop, a longstanding proper old-fashioned used bookstore. In the literature section, this unassuming black hardcover caught my eye:

I opened Mörder Guss Reims: The Gustave Leberwurst Manuscript (1981) to a random page and found a curiously over-annotated poem in German. I only glanced at the German, and I could not make sense of it, but the ratio of annotation to poem had a real Pale Fire shimmer. Sincere? In-? Either way, desirable.

I thought: yes, this is clearly the book I came in here for. I paid my $5 and left with it tucked into my bag.

I did not work out the trick, because I did not try sounding out the cod German. (Try it!)

Just now I web-searched and found out what sort of artefact this is. It is a remarkably poker-faced object in both design and presentation. However, the copyright page gives the game away:

Macaronic literature! Facetiae!

I do think this John Hulme must be a Nabokov fan. I have not yet been able to find out anything about him online, except that this seems to have been his Own Particular Genre. (I do not think he can be the contemporary author/director of the same name, since he would have had to publish this book at the age of 12.)

I had entertained fantasies of attending Pride, especially since I can really get behind the theme of protesting since 1776, but what I actually had the energy for was imitating a pancake. Eventually I gathered enough verticality to walk around the neighborhood and make hot dogs for dinner. TCM gladdened my heart by running The Sea Wolf (1941). I have not enjoyed the news about either Marjane Satrapi or Anthony Stewart Head. In lieu of a parade, I wore the rainbow cat T-shirt my godson handed up to me.

Another thing about being involved with community clean ups is that people approach me to thank me or ask about it. I am NOT used to wanting to approach me in public ever being a positive interaction. In the Park Blocks clean up the other day I was freaked out by a guy coming up to me very directly.

It's just.. I don't know, how foreign it is to ever have that be a positive interaction, that's kind of a lot

A gentle reminder...

Botan Kamiina
Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk, Episode 9

I thought I should give a shout out to seiyuu Sayumi Suzushiro, who not only provides the voice for Botan Kamiina, but also is the voice of Serafina de Lavillant in The Warrior Princess and the Barbaric King and Yuu Amami in I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class. AND she is Emma Klever in Wistoria: Wand and Sword S2, Jeanne in Mistress Kanan is Devilishly Easy, Yuino Nanase in Haibara’s Teenage New Game+, and Shovel in Dr. Stone: Science Future Part 3.

That’s seven shows this season – with three main characters. So impressive!

(Bonus: Suzushiro returns later this year as drummer Nijika Ijichi in season 2 of Bocchi the Rock!)

Cell phone pick from Lower Macleay this morning. Did some trash collecting in the rain, my third session of working with community clean up stuff. I'm glad I am finally getting involved with this stuff.

Part of why is just too much interaction with the Portland queer/leftist scene who think that clean up efforts are literally fascism*. I'm not even kidding. During the pandemic there was a problem where garbage wasn't being picked up on school grounds specifically and it was becoming an actual public health hazard, enough debris that it was getting infested. A group that formed to tackle the problem got harassed out of existence by 'leftists' defending us from fascism. I wish I was kidding. Being involved in clean up stuff would get me turbo-cancelled in a lot of social spaces I've interacted with in Portland and it's nice to be around people who would find that nuts.

* They do have a whole theory babble explanation for this, which I am not going to bother to explain. Also not going to talk about it being classist or anti-union.

Some of Portland Parks land is likely going to be in private hands by the end of the year due to budget issues. The maintenance backlog is insane. Doing what can be done is important. I cleaned out some bioswales and keeping those clean is key. Bioswales can be an huge win/win/win for the city in terms of rainwater management, ecological health, infrastructure that pays for itself, and also they look really nice... but all that goes to shit if it get clogged with plastic.

So many people in this town are proud of not voting, not taking part in imperfect systems, not touching the non-profit-military-industrial-complex, etc. All they do is theory babble, criticize and tell people they are going on lists. I try to avoid them, but they infest spaces where people go looking for queer community

Be the change you want to see.

I make words. It's what I do.
