When Off the Ground was completed [Paul] decided he wanted dance mixes of a couple of the songs for release as 12-inch vinyl singles, hoping to reach a younger audience this way. To undertake the work he hired Martin Glover, founder member of the band Killing Joke, who, despite being 31 years old, went by the name Youth. Youth quickly established a rapport with McCartney, the two musicians sharing a similar hippyish mindset and manner of speaking. [...] [Youth:] “[So I] went down there [to Hog Hill Mill] and I started sampling … I said, ‘What would be great if you could just add a couple of other things to the loops I’ve taken off the multi-tracks and just take it a bit further,’ and he was happy to do that. I got him jamming, got him on his guitar, and all these other [instruments]. He’s got such a great collection.” One of the instruments Paul played on this very modern record was Bill Black’s double bass [...]. Youth took the tapes to his home studio where he assembled alternate versions of what he expected to be one final track. Then Paul came over with the family to listen. “He and Linda and some of the kids would come down and just sit in on the sessions until three or four, and got a real buzz out of some of the alternative mixes I was doing for the ambient ones and really, really loved it, and then he came back and he said, ‘I want to put all these mixes out’ [laughs]. I said, ‘They’re actually for editing into one mix.’ ‘No, no.’ He’s often like this [laughs]. So the first album was really all the different mixes from that one session.” By the ‘first album’ Youth means the collaborative CD strawberries oceans ships forest. ‘It’s basically a magical reference in the English folk tradition,’ Youth says of the curious unpunctuated title, declining to elucidate. Paul decided to put this enigmatic recording out under a pseudonym, [...] the Fireman, in honour of the fact that his father had fire-watched in Liverpool during the Blitz. ‘This was supposed to be an antidote to him doing commercial releases or songs with record company pressure,’ comments Youth. ‘It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to imagine how much of a box being Paul McCartney could be, and the idea of wanting to do things outside of that box, with no previous association, anonymously, can be very attractive.’ […] ‘It is a dance record, but it’s also ambient, and it’s a little esoteric [with elements of] electronica,’ explains Youth. ‘But it’s also none of those things, cos it’s stuff he’s all played, and it’s all originally recorded and that makes it different.’

[—from Fab: An Intimate Life of Paul McCartney, Howard Sounes]

#1) 'despite being 31' lol #2) love how much they seem to have genuinely enjoyed working together very blessed #3) strawberries oceans ships forest is A+ excellent would loop again early '90s dance mixes are always the bomb and this is no exception #ALSO. there is a recurring sampled riff on there that just sounds so SO similar to the one in le1f's 'wut'#(e.g. see 'pure trance' from about 1:33)#which is just a LITTLE BIT funny in light of the whole 'thrift shop' thing i am Just Saying dfghgk #martin glover #paul mccartney #the fireman #fab: an intimate life of paul mccartney #howard sounes #1993 #p.s. if i never read another dumbshit musical opinion from howard sounes it will be TOO SOON

#jet is the jammer for the fab four obvs.#the girl is the jammer for the ultra vs because they all suck tremendously #and also b/c they know jet will always let the girl win so #really its just an excuse for them to all beat the shit out of each other (lovingly)#(or not so lovingly. val @ poison)#text #anonymous

Either it’s the sun themselves who are trolling, or it’s their “royal source” because these comments are pure comedy

“Pregnant Eugenie, 34, and Jack, 30, are expected to “house-sit” into the New Year, when they are expecting their first child.”

“An insider said: “Senior royals were initially blindsided by the idea for Harry and Meg to let Eugenie and Jack move in. Obviously the Queen was told after the couples had spoken about the plan. “But it is very much a deal done between Harry, Meghan, Eugenie and Jack. There is a close bond between them.” Palace insiders say they are the new “Fab Four”, a term previously used to describe the Sussexes and William and Kate.”

Yeah, I think this entire thing is misleading or somebody is trying to “tirar balones fuera” or the sun is being the sun. H&M can’t simply reach an agreement on their own with E&J because it’s not their property!

Oh my god please write reverse ultra Vs

well like. i know how regular ultra v’s + fab four work in my canon. i know val is a salty little bitch because he ran from the diner when he was a kid, i know the other v’s sort-of stick with him because they’ve just been friends that long and don’t really trust each other to be on their own, but the four are a solid, cohesive unit; to switch that dynamic? holy shit !! what would happen !!

#poison and val (as per usual canon) still get into a fistfight #because poison SAYS he doesn't fight kids but after the age of 15? he does not care #val on the other hand would absolutely throw hands with a 6 yr old #so... this just... in reverse... OH MY GOD #ask #answer #the ultra v's #fab four #Anonymous

I really don't know why, in mid 69 (when their business disputes became a battle of 3 against 1), the three other Beatles disliked Paul's song about a guy with a girly fanclub murdering three people who rejected him and got in his way. I also don't know why Paul made them play it over and over again. Complete mystery.

"The BRF would've been unstoppable and so popular globally if they'd all gotten along. Every appearance of them together and all of their children together would've broken the internet. Even the fandoms would've eventually merged if they sensed the royals all liked each other. Everybody would've won, the environment wouldn't be so heavy with politics and culture wars as it is today and the monarchy would be stronger now. It's a shame to witness the state of things now knowing what could've been." - Submitted by Anonymous

"I really Meghan and Prince Harry were still part of the royal family and none of this drama had ever happened. I really wanted to see the Sussex’s kids growing up with the Wales’. I also miss the days in which Meghan and Kate had joint engagements and the Fab Four was still a thing. If only they could make up, though unlikely." - Submitted by Anonymous

which 'joy gets overwhelmed by sensory stuff the quickest? and who is more sensitive to what kind of sensory input? also, any hcs about the relationship between jet and kobra? (i mean in general, i don' t necessarily ship them)

wow okay i had a whole thing typed up and then tumblr deleted it so.

kobra gets overwhelmed the fastest! light sensitivity, bad textures, and foods all arent great for him. his pupils are like. permanently dilated so he does his best to regulate that with sunglasses and his helmet visor. touch is another one for him that can be bad at times. he really likes pressure tho so he pulls his jacket really tight around himself when hes overwhelmed and wore his binder way too long a lot

kobra pretty much has the monopoly on sensory sensitivities but the girl is sensitive to sounds and Really hates being restrained. also is really sensitive to rejection/what she interprets as a negative reaction. The crew did learn pretty quickly that they could either deal with whatever input was upsetting the girl or fix the wiring in the diner/radio in the trans am/radios and ray guns that were on the fritz. also they didn’t like to see her upset.

my kobra and jet have the largest age gap (6 years) and they have very differnt backgrounds that make it hard to completely understand each other. they do really love each other and would (and have) died for each other but jets childhood was uncommonly stable and accepting, if not obviously dangerous, while kobras was... bad in most ways. theyre both traumatized but jet in a “was raised in a warzone” way and kobras in a “gaytrans and neurodivergent kid raised in god damn battery city” way

also heres a little snippet from a wip i have rn that takes place while kobra is 14 and jet’s 20

Jet looked back at the undergrad, trying to see what Tommy did. The kid plucked a pair of sunglasses off the shelf, sliding the ones he was wearing up to put the new ones on and look around the store. He put the glasses back on the shelf and reached for a new pair. Tommy was still watching the kid when Jet turned back to him.

Now I'm curious. Does ghoul have faves? Kobra? Party? What about the Girl

Oof I spent way too much time on this and then didn’t proofread it….but here u go. (For the rest of the Four I’m excluding the Girl again, because she’s still so young that she has a very different relationship with them than they have with each other.)

KOBRA

For Kobra, you almost have to exclude Poison from the start, because from being raised together and sharing so much of life, they’re on the same wavelength to where they can have whole conversations without saying a word. However, Poison can be loud — and obnoxious with razor-sharp precision like any good brother is — so Kobra often needs space, even from him. It literally just depends what mood he’s in, who he most likes to spend time with on any given day. If he’s feeling mischievous, Ghoul is the obvious choice for a partner in crime. (Those two will also rag on each other incessantly, but it’s all in good fun and they’re pretty well attuned by now to when they need to back off before they hit an actual nerve.) And Jet, a man of relatively few words himself, is great for just being in the same room with while doing your own thing. (And once Kobra warmed up to him? Jet quickly became one of his favorite huggers in the world.) If you straight-up asked Kobra, though, he’d just snort, because he doesn’t even have to think about it, and because you should already know. No matter how unbearable his brother can be, it’s always Poison.

POISON

Of course we have to start with Kobra, here. Poison perhaps has more of a bent toward protective than companionable feelings for Kobra, but he still feels incredibly close to him. They’re so close that you rarely see them physically side by side when they’re hanging out. More often than not, they will be on opposite sides of the room and merely sending occasional looks that will have the other making a face or outright laughing like there’s an actual verbal conversation going on that only they can hear. That said, Kobra can be moody quite often and won’t speak to anybody at all, not even to Poison by telepathy or whatever the hell it is that they can do, and gets even more moody if Poison tries to cheer him up and make him come do something with him. (That or he’ll ramble for hours about something Poison couldn’t give less of a shit about, like lizards or the care and feeding of succulents or different kinds of bike tires and how they respond on different terrains….) So however borderline codependent they may be, it’s not an end-all be-all and their relationship doesn’t come at the expense of their relationships with other crewmembers.

It’s nearly impossible to rile Jet. Poison knows, because Poison has tried. This discovery would make most people more comfortable around Jet; Poison finds it uncanny and infuriating. No one should be that unflappable. (He’s determined to find more of Jet’s buttons, so that’s kind of a subconscious ongoing mission of his.) However, if Poison’s feeling unspecifiably fragile, (and therefore acting the most assholeish), Jet is a steadying presence, as big and sturdy and unmovable as a joshua tree. For this, Poison is secretly glad Jet is unofficially the actual leader of the crew. And yet Poison’s never quite shaken the feeling that Jet is always…watching him. Not judging him—just trying to figure him out, see under the Party Poison mask, predict if he’s going to blow up at someone or fall into a panic in a given circumstance. Poison’s never been sure if this is actually the case or just his imagination.

Ghoul can take whatever you give him and throw it right back. His addition to the crew was actually a godsend for everybody else, because Poison finally had an outlet for what seemed like an infinite amount of pent-up aggression. More often than not, they can be found wrestling on the floor somewhere without check, like they’re genuinely trying to kill each other (the rest of the crew have learned it’s best to just step around them), or screaming insults at each other. What’s more jarring is when they’re both being amicable. They skip making up entirely; there’s nothing to make up. (When Kobra first noticed Poison had started letting Ghoul touch up his hair, the two of them were on the receiving end of frequent horrified, wary side-eyed looks for a full week before he seemed to be satisfied that this was as far as things were going to go.). They were made for cuddling each other — they’re most alike in size of everyone at the diner, so they love hugging and snuggling once they’ve exhausted their excess frustration.

GHOUL

Ghoul, who’s still trying to learn gentleness for the first time (it’s easy with the Girl, but a little more difficult with everyone else), is grudgingly fascinated how desert-hardened Jet can be so strong and yet remain so in control of that strength. Jet is fucking tough, tough as nails, but Ghoul’s never seen him use brute force on anyone besides a drac. Even at Ghoul’s worse, Jet has never lashed out at him. That’s nice. More than Ghoul deserves, certainly. The other nice thing about Jet is that he lets Ghoul be, much like the crew treats predator animals they encounter when they’re out in the open after dark. A desertborn attitude — live and let live. Jet doesn’t pry, doesn’t ask questions. Doesn’t try to change him. Ghoul’s grateful for that.

Kobra is like, 12. And what a weirdo. Ghoul doesn’t get him at all. He has to respect the kid, though, because despite his quirks Kobra is a keen strategist, a formidable prank partner, and not scared of getting the shit beaten out of him — whether it’s in a fight or a bike accident or whatever. Not to mention he’s got a helluva pokerface, and a dark, sardonic sense of humor to rival Ghoul’s own. So yeah, Ghoul likes Kobra just fine.

Ghoul trusts Poison completely, full stop. He’s not sure how much Poison does. There’s a huge, scary amount of trust between them, he knows, but he gets the feeling Poison has many more layers he still isn’t ready to show Ghoul. Which is fair, because some things Ghoul doesn’t want to bring up, either. (Not because it’s Poison. Poison would never laugh, or dismiss him, or judge. Ghoul just doesn’t want to think about certain things, let alone talk about them.) When they first met, Poison saved his life, probably (Ghoul maintains to himself he would’ve been fine even without his help), which under normal circumstances would’ve made Ghoul hate Poison’s guts forever. But Poison never acted like Ghoul owed him anything. As soon as Ghoul was well enough to take it, he treated Ghoul with the same abrasive combativeness he did everyone else. And Ghoul loved him for it. Poison never pulled punches, with him. That was what made Ghoul ultimately come to trust Poison with his softer side, too, oddly enough.

THE GIRL

Jet is strong and smart and big. He can lift the Girl off the ground with one hand and he knows everything about how to not get killed in the desert, which is really important. Being the biggest means he’s the best for climbing up, which is also important. And even though he only has one eye anymore, he’s a killer shot. He’s super dangerous for bad guys and can even throw whole people across a room! He’s always nice to the Girl and Party and Kobra and Ghoulie, though.

Kobra is so cool. He even gave the Girl a pair of sunglasses, so she could be cool too. Kobra knows everything about bikes and computers and martial arts, and he’s even started teaching her some sick moves. (She’s still too small to ride a bike, though.) She appreciates how Kobra tells things like they are, even though he still does his darndest to shield her from actually seeing things like they are when they’re out running the zones. It’s hard to tell what he’s thinking sometimes, but she guesses that’s just part of being cool.

Ghoul is so fun. Which is fitting, given his full name, but yeah — he lets the Girl do the really fun stuff. At least when Jet isn’t watching. He knows everything about blowing stuff up and making things catch on fire. It doesn’t get much funner than that! And yet there’s something about the way Ghoul looks at her from a distance, sometimes. Like he’s seeing somebody else. It’s kind of creepy, but it happens rarely enough that she’s never mentioned it.

Party is…a lot of things. He’s a really good artist, and a good teacher of it, too. He’s even taken the Girl out to do graffiti before, not just paint on the diner walls. He can be scary sometimes, but never in her direction. When they’re in public and he jumps up onto something and starts talking really loud, everyone shuts up and listens and does whatever he says. His eyes can get scary when he’s like that (if he’s angry, not just excited). However, if he catches the Girl watching him and remembers, afterward, he’ll usually shoot her a wink so she’ll know everything is okay. And he’s never given the Girl a reason to believe he’d ever turn that anger on her. Sometimes after a clap he gives hugs so tight they hurt, but the Girl isn’t bothered by that. The only thing that bothers her about Party is that he reminds her of someone, occasionally — in a fleeting expression, in the tilt of his head, in a smile. She’s never been able to put a finger on who.
