I GOT ANOTHER DOG 

[critter-of-habit]

For those asking where I got them from, I bought them (250 caps each) from this dude called Gene.  I’m not sure if he’s settled somewhere - the first time I found him at  Thicket Excavations, east of Sanctuary.  The second time he was just wandering past Red Rocket Truck Stop with a new dog.  

I hope he has an endless supply of puppies and I can just hoard them.

Gene is a random encounter, and the more luck u have the more likely u are to run into him apparently. As far as I’m aware he has an endless supply of dogs, and the dogs fine a nice bonus to happiness to whichever settlement you end up sending them to

[critter-of-habit]

Rerereblogging for the extra information!  I think you have to be exceptionally lucky to find him, too.  I’ve still only seen him twice in my many, many hours of gameplay.

if you’re wondering why CNN is biased towards Hillary even though the public seems to agree that Bernie came through last night on multiple fronts heres something interesting

Muh journalism

[binge-thinker]

This was legit the biggest joke ever. Just that one exchange where they literally asked “Do black lives matter” to both O’Malley and Sanders and then DIDN’T ask Hillary (who has previously taken heat for not saying it), despite staying on the topic of race showed how biased it was. Like yeah, they didn’t ask the other two either, but barely asked them anything (which doesn’t help their case either).

Happy 20th, Tragic Kingdom!

Released: October 10th, 1995

Following the slow American triumph of their Tragic Kingdom LP (released in October 1995, it finally reached No. 1 in December 1996 and has sold 6 million copies [as of early 1997]), it has been warmly greeted worldwide as a record that speaks the international language of pop.

If Gwen Stefani lost the love of her life, she also gained her subject matter. One of the many ironies surrounding No Doubt is that this music, which is frequently dismissed as meaningless, superficial pop, is fully in the tradition of the heartfelt, intimate, pop-poetic confessional. If you want to know what happened between Gwen and Tony, read the lyric sheet. 

The day she wrote the lyrics to one of the most direct and pointed songs, “Happy Now?”, she was really proud. So she phoned up the person with whom she usually shared both her triumphs and disasters. Tony. “I was, ‘Dude, I totally wrote the raddest song – I have to read it to you. Promise you won’t get mad at me.’”

Of course, everyone expects Tony to be mortified now that the barbed hymns of their relationship are sung by millions. But at worst he is bemused, and at best, amused. Tony says, laughing. “Am I going to storm off the stage?”“That would be so rad!” hoots Gwen. “You should shake me and then walk off. We should do that as a publicity stunt.”

Rolling Stone, 1997

PILL EATER (or, The Short Journey from Straight Edge to Pill Eater) by THE NAVIDSON RECORD 2011-2013

While I’m on a late night nostalgia trip, check out my old band’s music video (TW: it has my face in it). This is pretty much the first time I did vocals on a doom song. Also peep them lyrics; “Breathe in the smog and swallow it whole” // “I built a house for you. I made it from my bones. I will just bleed out on the floor until you’re willing to come home.” // “I’ve got ten steps until I die. I’ll waste them all getting closer to you.” I was on some new shit.

This was edited together (and heavily featuring) by my homie Kayla aka @donteversayrocknroll. Also features @xbassedcerebralx, as well as PJ (the guitar player who isn’t Kayla), who now plays bass in Lymphoma Twins. Shibby.

TIME MACHINE VIDEO OF THE WEEK

The Airborne Toxic Event - Sometime Around Midnight (2008 & 2009)

This was the first single taken from their self-titled debut album, “The Airborne Toxic Event ”, released on February 2nd, 2009. The song is autobiographical, about the night that Mikel Jollett (the lead singer) met a former girlfriend at a bar, and he realized that he still loved her. The entire band was present when this happened.

There are two official videos for this song. The first one was released in August 2008, directed by Jason Wishnow. The second one was released on April 30, 2009, and directed by D.J. Caruso. Watch the second version of the video here: 

There are two more popular videos of this single, the acoustic version (Starbucks’ song of the week at that time) and their performance at The Late Show with David Letterman, which is my favorite because one of the violinists breaks a string.

Lyrics:

And it starts Sometime around midnight Or at least that’s when you lose yourself For a minute or two As you stand Under the bar lights And the band plays some song about forgetting yourself for a while And the piano’s this melancholy soundtrack to her smile And that white dress she’s wearing, you haven’t seen her For a while But you know That she’s watching She’s laughing, she’s turning She’s holding her tonic like a cross The room suddenly spinning, she walks up and asks how you are So you can smell her perfume You can see her lying naked in your arms And so there’s a change In your emotions And all of these memories come rushing like feral waves to your mind Of the curl of your bodies, like two perfect circles entwined And you feel hopeless, and homeless, and lost in the haze of the wine Then she leaves With someone you don’t know But she makes sure you saw her, she looks right at you and bolts As she walks out the door Your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes And then your friends say “What is it? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.” Then you walk Under the streetlights And you’re too drunk to notice that everyone is staring at you You just don’t care what you look like The world is falling around you You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her You just have to see her You know that she’ll break you in two
