Rewire, day 2
This day didn’t start as planned. In the afternoon, I saw a migraine attack coming and so I drank some water and laid down. This meant I was going to drop acts in favour of recovering, meaning I was missing Malibu, which was rather unfortunate, because I looked forward to see her live. Regardless, that’s the price of the sickness. So, unwilling to give up on the day I tried to sleep and after a few hours ate something before setting out. My head was still hurting, but I didn’t plan to stay long and had my eyes on some calm acts anyway.
I started with Morita Vargas, who wasn’t bad, but also felt she was and would still be developing her craft further. Her final last track was her best, the weaving of her vocals with the ethereal music worked well. It was a little Julee Cruise-esque.
Then, I had the choice to stay and see Godspeed You! Black Emperor, but I have already been fortunate to see a 3-hour set once and there’s so much more hear. So I went to Nwando Ebizie. She was anything but calm, but she was also a lot of fun. Having recently visited the Black Fantastic exhibition, I imagine she would fit right in. A vibrant singer with humor, sharing the popped corn with the audience to receive as a blessing and ending with a group dance in the middle of the crowd of whoever wanted to join.
Next were Infinity Knives & Brian Ennals. They fit right in with Run the Jewels when it comes to politics, but seemed to focus more on beats. Infinity Knives got to do some live messing around with electronics and Ennals in the meantime was just a menace on the mic, undermining religion, politics and whatever he didn’t like. Singing ‘All we want is some reparations’ to the tune of RHCP’s Californication (Death of a Constable), ‘Realize the American flag same colour as cop lights’ (Sambo’s Last Words) and ‘God is good, pussy is better’, finishing with A Melancholy Boogie and its disco-revival beat. Standing in the back was the right decision. The message reached me, the loudness not so much.
Following them, I went to Lucinda Chua in one of the churches. This location is beautiful and her music fit right in. She performed while Godspeed were still playing, so the place wasn't full, but that also meant that everyone who wanted to be there was there and it created a bond. The only sound the audience made was applause when songs ended. She sang, played the cello, while she was supported by an unnamed synthesizer player. For the last song she was also joined by Hatis Noit on the stage, making me regret a little to not have seen her, but alas choices and choices.
Then out again and off to Alto Arc. That was absolutely insane. This is a project consisting of a singer George Clarke (Deafhaven), a make-up artist Isamaya Ffrench and 2 producers. One is Trayer Tryon (Hundred Water), the other Danny L Harle, who has been making waves for a while now (collaborating with yeule and this On a Mountain remix lives rent-free in my mind).
Anyway, the show had a lot of theatrics with a lot of hard beats. Sound wise it reminded me of those darkwave-esque acts like Witch of the Vale, where the woman takes the high-pitched role and the man does the dusky growling. (I guess old CoF also works?) The electronic stuff reminded me a bit of Violet Cold and its crazy patterns. At some point Darle got the stage to himself and it seemed the room became a sonic witness account of a chain collision of crashed cars. As what we got to see, some sort of play about sacrifice, occultism and rapture? I’m not sure, sorry.
After that I took a breather and walked to Deena Abdelwahed’s venue. Now I mentioned scheduling conflicts before, here’s another: choosing Deena meant no Slikback and no Coucou Chloe (who were on at the same time at the same venue, so switching would be easier). However, I’ve been a big fan of Deena for years and getting the opportunity to see her live outweighed the others.
She was going to premier her new latest work and it didn’t disappoint. Her set was amazing and with help from her partner-in-crime Hamid, who occasionally picked up something like a sitar, they got the crowd moving. So yeah, by the sounds of it, there’ll be a great album coming to you… next year.
After that, I was done, it felt like I asked more than I could from my head. Yet the day after, here I am writing. Honestly, I’m amazed I saw as much as I did, but my head seemed to deal with it. Sometimes the pain just subsided (read: was drowned out by the music, it had no place to go). In the meantime I saw and spoke familiar and unfamiliar people, which sort of kept me busy. And being outside a lot helped too, the evening wasn’t cold, but it kept my head in check.

“Ree, oh my goodness—that’s splendid!” She can’t hide her enthusiasm, beaming towards them as she marvels at the Z-Ring; though unsure of how to operate one herself, she’s immensely impressed nonetheless! “From what I’ve seen and heard, these things are killer in battle. How’d you go about getting one?”

*gently pats Alto on the head*
This blorbo can fit so much trauma!
Tumblr media
*gently drapes a blankie on her and sets a cup of cocoa down while patting her shoulder*
It’s okay, Alto, everything gonna be fi- actually, it isn’t fine but uh, umm, yeah … do you want a hug?
So anyway, this is the kind of stuff that pops into my noggin on a daily basis that ends up scrawled down on some random page in a notebook or quickly tapped out on a Google Keep note while working. Gosh, I’m so normal about my blorbos
For the barest hints of context; first ideas started to form when I made Alto’s playlist for another one-shot and decided to make this an AU of sorts:
Tumblr media
And for a little extra sprinkle of context, some notes I threw down for the character sheet backstory:
Tumblr media
Yeeeeah, if I put them all together, I’ll have to retcon some stuff, tweak it a lil’ here and there, actually flesh out a story - y’know, the usual kinda stuff

Im not one to criticize writing in anime but this reveal felt so half baked.
The students Obsidian made go Beserk didn’t impact Alto or any of the main cast too much. Rex who even was impacted and attacked someone else didn’t really make Alto go like “holy shit man, Dino Dude got fucked up fr fr ong”.
Obsidian then got enough screen time to make the viewer guess “hmmmm this DIO sounding dude is kinda nice... too nice perhaps?” But spoiled any sort of viewer suspense or questions at the end of the episode when he revealed his true nature (ie injecting purple stuff/lean/wokky slush into a a student’s neck).
And Alto’s reaction to Obsidian’s confession is like any anime protagonist, which is cool, but like, Alto was so seemingly unaware about Obsidian’s humdinger of a scheme that him being surprised makes no real sense. With Rex, sure Alto was concerned but he wasn’t crying in his shower about it. If anything Alto was like “damn. Dinosaurs amirite?”
In short: Alto being shocked makes little plausible sense. Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.

Tribunal de El Alto rechaza juicio ordinario a Jeanine Áñez
Un tribunal de El Alto pateó el tablero y rechazó el juicio ordinario a la ex presidenta Jeanine Áñez a pocos días del examen de Bolivia en la CIDH. Según el tribunal, la exmandataria debe ser juzgada por responsabilidades por haber asumido decisiones presidenciales, lo que posibilitó la transición al gobierno del MAS de Luis Arce. Áñez está acusada de genocidio por los casos Senkata-Sacaba, que…

Propaganda
Jean Hagen (The Asphalt Jungle, Singin' in the Rain)—a shimmering star in the cinema firmament! Absolutely iconic as the villainess Lina in singin’ in the rain and makes the picture, to be honest. Nobody played funny-evil-gorgeous the way she does. and that voice!
Nargis Dutt (Shree 420, Barsaat, Awaara)— I first loved her because she played such strong characters in everything I saw her in, but beyond that, she has a natural charm to her. She's a Bollywood icon for a reason!
This is round 2 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Jean Hagen:
Tumblr media
Riddle and you shall receive! How could we forget about Jean Hagen! I love a woman who can play really delightfully evil, and it's very fun seeing her other roles after you've seen her as Lina Lamont. Also, she's got an adorable smile and a gorgeous chin.
Her Oscar-nominated performance as Lina Lamont is a wonderful example of being talented enough to make an unsympathetic character difficult to hate. Admittedly her looks also help a lot - in so many films she would have been the romantic lead and it's a shame Lina didn't get a redemption arc.
Tumblr media
Had a sexy sexy alto register so when she was being dubbed as Lina Lamont by Debbie Reynolds she was dubbing Debbie Reynolds dubbing her. Shoutout to Betty Noyes also.
