had to catch up on the garages tag rq

[girltentacles]

garages songs are awesome cause i'tll be like a really apt anti-capitalist anthem that you need to understand like four points of obscure blaseball trivia to grasp

[sadhoc]

my brain is melting

the band that wrote the number 2 song on my spotify wrapped, the garages,. this year is a fake band from an ARG (??? i think it's some kind of ARG???)

i got recommended them this summer by another baseball tumblr girlie, and based on their lyrical content i just kinda assumed they were former college/high school players who were still big fans.

thought they were like a poppunk band that wrote mostly about baseball. their bandcamp said they were from seattle. like where the mariners are from (to be fair i did think it was weird that none of the players they namedropped were mariners). and i thought that they were a normal band.

like i'm a long time los campesinos fan and they're constantly referencing soccer. and baseball metaphors are a huge thing in USamerican culture, so i kinda assumed that it was like that

anyway according to my friends they're from some ARG called blaseball that happened in 2020? like The Garages are a fake baseball team in the ARG, and the music is part of the ARG? i don't get it. i've been sending my baseball yaoi friends their songs and saying "this is so horii" or "god this is just what it's going to be like when this guy retires" and just. i feel deranged. what the fuck do you mean The Garages aren't a real band?

Listening to The Garages without having seen the thing they’re from or played baseball is sometimes just listening to a normal band, but then occasionally it’s like picking up the fifth tape recording in a series in an rpg without having heard the other four or even played the game they’re from.

Asunder is basically the most classic way to be torn, and if you're looking to be cleft, in twain is a vintage but stunning choice

being a horror fan will have you saying sentences such as “i liked it a lot, super gross and sad”

just finished my audio engineering degree and celebrating by spending 2 days in the studio recording new house phone :)

[bardapologist]

ended my last quarter with just about as close to the minimum passing grade in most classes after having a 4.0 my entire college career and i do think after decades of burning myself out overachieving finally learning that i can do the bare minimum and still pass is the real education
