Amddiffyn Blodeuwedd (nid Bedwyr yn rhagor)

[sovay]

It does not matter how burnt out I am at the end of what kind of week, if I intend to have a short conversation and my godchild wants to have a longer one, we have a longer conversation. Tonight he wanted to tell me about his classes and how he wrecked himself on the PACER test and show off his sleep pod which thanks to his lankiness and its compression makes him look sort of annelid when walking around inside it. He perches forward on the edge of the couch like a cat. He's terrific.

Following the demise of both of my long-time music blogs, I found a new one tonight and I have it to thank for Tristwch y Fenywod, who describe themselves as a "Welsh-language gothic avant-rock power-coven" and are not so incidentally trans/queer. They have a dual zither and a song about triple-killing. I bought their debut album on the spot. Anyone in the locality, I bet their live shows are bangers.

I'm sorry about the blogs but I like the Welsh coven a lot.

Living as we do on the Welsh language line up here in the Marches, I'm amused to find a Welsh language band originating in Leeds!

Their vocalist-lyricist is originally from North Wales.

In coming to say his whole teen being reminds me of a specific Avett Brothers song, I discovered the Crane Wives covered it too. (“Kick-drum Heart.” And not because of his PACER test.)
*hugs* I remind him he can always talk to you! He usually says “Merp”!

I never heard that! "Not looking back anymore / I left the people that do / It's not the chase that I love / It's me following you."

I remind him he can always talk to you! He usually says “Merp”!

And then he delurks into the Zoom!

I misread that as Feral Government. I'm not sure I'm wrong.

No, a feral government would be cooler! And probably kinder. The cats and pigeons are.

Yay for long conversations and new music! <3 Speaking of good things, yesterday I saw a fill for Act Of Violence on the 3sf, and obviously thought of you.

Better than fragments against the ruins!

Thank you so much! I keep wanting to write more for threesentenceficathon before it closes and the week has not been conducive.

You're welcome! And I feel you, I've gathered so many prompts I'd like to fill, and still have a bunch! I try to write one here and there as brain/weather/health/life/etc. allows, it's a good distraction. *hugs*

I'm glad you can!

Since the Criterion Channel will be running a collection of Argentinian noir for February, IOU at least one review no matter how my life tries to run over me.

Oh, that's a really good selection of movies! No pressure for the reviews, but I hope that you can watch at least one of these!

Yay Welsh-language gothic avant-rock power-coven!

I love them so much. Both the fact that they exist and that I have been playing them on repeat.

Woah! I adore the instrumentation of "Tristwch y Fenywod"--how gorgeous!

I love how many different eras they sound like at once. It is genuinely spellbinding.

I have a really good class of young people in my life!

HE'S A MATRICIDALLY RECKLESS SKINNY-ASS LUNATIC WHO LOVES KNIFE SHOES, JUMPING OFF THINGS, AND GETTING C's IN EVERY SUBJECT BECAUSE ACTUALLY HE IS BORED. HE LOOKS LIKE THE NATURAL CHILD OF A MR. SKETCH MARKER AND A TAFFY PULLER. HIS FAVORITE THING IS INSISTING HE'LL BE FINE. JUST BECAUSE HE LOOKED UP FROM THE BOTTOM STAIR AND SAID "You have to tell Aunt S not to worry that you're worrying" DOESN'T MAKE HIM TERRIFIC.

This is one of those two-simultaneous-things problems.
