I found it here for non-spotify folks, too :) The whole thing is really a pretty fascinating listen, but they start talking about the catering and its massive barbecue around 16:25 and then about barbecue bands, including MCR, at 18:35.
Anyways I am now sad for a music festival that ended 2 years ago without me knowing about it, but oh well. At least MCR is back :)
Screenshot IDs: “serendysm: Early on it was more for baby bands to do it, it wasn't meant to be mean and BBQ bands were mostly happy to cook for fellow band mates. It might have changed later to more of a rotation thing. At least for MCR it was right as Three Cheers was released and they were not popular quite yet as they were also the breakout band that year.
serendysm: But yeah for sources on specifically MCR the radio episode can be found on Spotify under "The Ongoing History of New Music" episode name is 24 Years of Warped TourActions”
I love the fact that MCR was such a small baby band that they were the 2004 Warped Tour official BBQ Band™ whose job was to cook barbecue for all the other bands in order to be allowed to play, like imagine these punks making you a hot dog before going on stage to play I’m Not OK, 2004 was a wild time y’all
Shoutout to my Monkees mutuals for reminding me about the Monkees and their music; now I'm thinking about how She is such a season 2 Damon talking about Katherine song.
Meanwhile, 1864 Damon is of course firmly Vampire Girl by the Misfits (he would die for her, and he did).
Oooo okay, let me pick out some things from my Vampire Vibes playlist:
Uninvited, the cover by Red Sun Rising
Possum Kingdom by Toadies
Little Monster by Royal Blood
Nocturnal Me by Echo and the Bunnymen
Animal by Badflower
Out for Blood by Sum 41
Animal, the cover by Chase Holfelder (it’s not the same song as the Badflower one)
There’s more on the playlist but I think those are the most evil and s*xy :)
send music recs for a playlist about sexy evil vampires
More pretty multifandom Christmas art :)
Ooh, and 42 easter eggs? Challenge accepted.
Okay so I don’t know all of these fandoms but I’m just going to go through the ornaments, top to bottom, left to right, and make my best guesses. I should put it below one of those cut thingies in case anyone else wants to play.
1. Illuminati pyramid with a top hat.
2. The One Ring
3. A tribble, perhaps? Or it could be wookie fur. Nah, I’m going with tribble.
4. Jack Skellington
5. The Death Star
6. I believe its name is Totoro?
7. Star Trek logo/badge
8. It’s not the right shape to be the Iron Man thing... Is this that from that Detroit Become Human thing people have been posting about? No, those robots have circles on their temples. Gah, it looks familiar and I’m probably going to be kicking myself later, but I’m not getting it.
9. Deadpool
10. Sherlock--Moriarty’s apple
11. EXTERMINATE! DECORATE! WAIT! It’s a Dalek :)
12. The Starship Enterprise
13. The Golden Snitch :) (Is that capitalized? It might not be capitalized.)
14. The Cheshire Cat
15. Na na na na na na na na Batman!
16. Anything hiding in Scooby Doo, aka the classic eyes in the bushes?
17. Okay so this is the hippo/horse thing that I didn’t know what it was last time I reblogged something from this blog, but upon scrolling further through this blog I learned it is neither hippo nor horse but is rather a “moomin”.
18. In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit... Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, but a hobbit hole, and a hobbit hole meant comfort.
19. Iron Man (is it two words or one, like Superman? Ironman?)
20. Hmm.... clearly a spaceship but I’m not sure which one. I’m thinking Star Wars.
21. The “N” seems to go with the “R” and the “U” below it, spelling “RUN”... Oooooh it’s Stranger Things, I get it. My first thought was still “Run, you clever boy, and remember”.
22. The Deathly Hallows
23. The Avengers’ logo.
24. BB-8
25. Sherlock’s home address
26. Waffles, to go with Stranger Things in #21
27. I think that’s one of the Game of Thrones house logos--the “winter is coming” one? Are they the ones with the giant wolves?
28. No-Face, which admittedly I mostly remember from Adam Savage’s cosplay.
29. Hmm... um... The pufferfish from Finding Nemo?
30. Platform 9 3/4, of course. Train leaves at 11 o’clock sharp, no time for dilly-dallying.
31. R2-D2
32. The Elf on the Shelf? No, this one is less creepy. Is it the one from the Rudolph movie?
33. Definitely Star Wars. Is that Han Solo’s one, the Millenium Falcon? I think so.
34. I am (baby) Groot.
35. Mjolnir
36. The Tardis!
37. Continuing the Studio Ghibli theme, is that the Kiki’s Flying Delivery Service kitty?
38. The Polar Express lantern?
39. The Infinity Gauntlet
40. Captain America’s shield
41. A book on palm reading?
Oh dangit I’m one short. Did I miss one? How did I miss one? I’m still not seeing it--oooh wait, is it just the fact that there were 42 things, and 42 is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything? Okay that’s what I’m going with since I really don’t see anything I’ve missed. 42, the number of items itself is the reference, final answer.
Well that was a fun multifandom quiz! I hope other people do it, too. I want to compare results.
I wish you a very fandom Christmas! *_____* (It’s may be a little bit late, but anyway!) P.S. Can you find all 42 “easter eggs” on this Christmas tree?
I don’t know what it is about Geek & Sundry shows but I always end up shipping the thing that everyone else in the fandom says is meant to be purely platonic. First it was Percy and Keyleth, and now I’m having Jasper/Annabelle feels... halp.
Thank you! Very festive :)
So Ravenclaw common room is absolutely gorgeous with Halloween decorations right now. It’s making me curious–what do the other houses’ common rooms look like right now? Please reblog with a pic of your house’s Halloween decorations; I want to see them all!
I can’t say I’ve ever really been in a fandom at the end of its show, either, but I feel like there will always be something here. I mean, realistically, I would guess that the fandom will go on at full strength for at least a few months to a year after The End as we all digest and respond to it. After a while, I imagine it will taper off some, but I don’t think it will ever go away entirely. I suppose it varies from fandom to fandom, but there are plenty of old fandoms out there that keep lingering around. After all, when you love something hard enough to go full fandom over it, I think it will always hold a special place in your heart, and you’ll come back to it, and that will probably include a fair number of us in the fandom. I feel like the Gotham fandom is a particularly tight-knit community, from what I’ve encountered.
I feel you, though. I just binged Gotham this summer so I’m still sort of new here, too. It’s kind of weird just jumping into a fandom at the end, but, well, I guess it’s also an exciting time to be a fan? It’s so strange feeling this secondhand sadness as we watch the cast and crew say goodbye to the show a month before the end even starts for us. At least we won’t be able to binge this last season, so while I watched four years worth of Gotham in two weeks this summer, season 5 will last over two months. So there’s still a lot to look forward to, and I for one don’t plan on leaving right when it ends :)
Ive never been in a fandom to watch it end. Whats it like? Do people just kinda leave if theres no new content? I really hope not because Im pretty new to the gotham fandom and im gonna stay here after it ends so I was hoping most people wpuld do the same but again, I dont know.
Boardtober Day 1: Autumn or Falling Leaves
Welcome, dear traveller, to our fantastical lande shrouded in swirling violet mists. Here we study how stories shape our lives, how words weave wonders before our eyes. Here we are enamoured of love and the connections betwixt people. Here we seek daring adventures in our wild lande, delving into the unknown at every turn. But mostly, here you'll find my obsession with any number of things, like Doctor Who, the Vampire Diaries, or any number of others from the ever-shifting tide of obsessions through which I cycle. My more-used sideblog is blagueofchaos if you ever wish I posted more :) She/her, 28
