Utter Nonsense Into The Night

This is a hodgepodge of things. About me: bi, legally an adult (will I ever figure this nonsense out?) UPDATE: assigned old by grocery store radio and floppies (still have not yet figured out this nonsense). Sorry for my bad tagging. “#fuck sleep apparently who needs that” is my personal tag search at your own risk. My Pokémon Go id is 9229 0401 2546. Þei/þem I am an entity that contains multitudes.

"I learned a lot from making this" is artist talk for "making this sucked ass and I'm not entirely happy with the result."

I think flinching is such a hit or miss reflex. Like yea a tiny bit of boiling water touched my hand but i dont think reflexivly throwing the water everywhere is a good defensive measure perhaps. might be even worse actually

Yeah like I need you guys to understand that this is just how it works. Tho even the pool is shifting towards C. C is slowly winning temperature; and kg is slooooowly winning weight for even light things that are not your personal weight.

There is an additional confusion which is that if someone is older than 50 then they MAY measure even temperature outside as F. This will be deeply annoying.

I still want to see a high budget dinosaur documentary that's done in that old Walking With Dinosaurs type as-realistic-as-we-can-make-it wildlife documentary style, except instead of the classic calm-voiced David Attenborough style narrator, it's narrated by a two-person team of a paleontologist, and a stoner who knows nothing about dinosaurs. Ideally, neither of them has been involved in the production of the show itself, and both of them are seeing the footage they are narrating for the very first time.

"Yeah, it's a well-grounded and commonly respected theory that this particular species was social, raised their young into adulthood and probably hunted in packs. I like how they decided to show how nature and nurture work together by having them instinctively start practicing both social behaviour and hunting maneuvres in play with each other."

If you could have one Shakespeare play done by the Muppets what would it be?

obviously a Midsummer Night's Dream, can you imagine? Kermit as Oberon, Miss Piggy as Titania, the non-fae characters are played by the only humans, when Bottom is transformed he physically becomes a muppet, Puck is naturally Gonzo with bonus Rizzo

I’m going to level with you. I have listened to The Devil Went Down to Georgia for most of my life. We were a country music household, this was a staple of my childhood along with Johnny Cash, Garth Brooks, and that one Chipmunks country album.

I have no idea what “Fire on the mountain run boys run/The Devil's in the house of the rising sun/Chicken in the bread pan picking out dough/Granny does your dog bite no child no” means and at this point I’m too scared to ask.

[dementian]

For once I can be of assistance.

Each of the lyrics comes from an old-time hickory song for fiddles, and is a lyric from that corresponding song.

"Fire on the Mountain" --> "Fire on the Mountain, run boys run"

Fire On The Mountain - Fiddle Player POV

"The House of the Rising Sun" --> "The Devil's in the house of the rising sun"

House of the Rising Sun

"Ida Red" --> "Chicken in the bread pan peckin' out dough"

Ida Red - Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys

"Granny Will Your Dog Bite" --> "Granny does your dog bite? 'No child, no'."

FTC #149 Granny Will Your Dog Bite

And for your furthered education, The Mountain Whipporwill.

Mountain Whippoorwill (aka How Hillbilly Jim Won the Great Fiddler's Prize)

this is the key part of the song, that a lot of people miss. people have this misconception that the contest between Johnny and The Devil is about who is the better fiddle player. but it isn't. its about who is the better fiddler.

in a time before things like radios and record players, every time you heard music was because there was somebody in the room with you playing an instrument. and many, many, many social events involved dancing, which requires music. so, if you're planning any kind of gathering in the american south or appalachia, you need to find a fiddler. and the fiddler's job is to play music that everybody knows and likes and can dance to.

the mistake The Devil makes in his bet with Johnny is that he misinterprets the contest as being about technical ability, so he has this big flashy song. he plays fast and impressively with a band of demons playing unfamiliar instruments in unfamiliar rhythms. he's definitely more skilled at playing than Johnny, and thinks he has it in the bag.

but Johnny wins because the contest is about being the best fiddler. the song uses these lines mentioned above as a shorthand for saying that Johnny is playing these songs. Johnny launches into a set of the most popular songs, played well, and that's what gives him his big win. A good fiddler knows all the hits, and can read the room to know what to play next. The Devil loses because he completely fails to read the room, and doesn't know the right songs.
