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!

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

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.
