MY KINGDOM FOR A HORSE. This famous phrase originally occurred in Act-V, Scene-IV of William Shakespeare’s play, Richard III. Here, King Richard III yells out loudly this famous phrase, “A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse!” In the middle of a battle, his horse is killed, while the king wanders to find it in the battlefield for hours, killing everything coming his way with fatalistic rage.

Neko Case | This Tornado Loves You

My love, I am the speed of sound I left them motherless, fatherless Their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths But it's never enough I want you I carved your name across three counties And ground it in with bloody hides Broken necks will line the ditch Till you stop it, stop it, stop this madness I want you

Neko Case.

Neko Case Throws a Birthday Bash at Brooklyn Steel

Neko Case – Brooklyn Steel – September 8, 2022

Thursday was the first day of school for New York City kids, so the energy in town had shifted, moving into that refreshing purgatory between summer and fall. No better to help celebrate the occasion than Neko Case, who delighted the Brooklyn Steel audience with a career-retrospective set list, music that sits comfortably on the sunshine-meets-gloom boundary. Backed by a band that was majority drawn from the New Pornographers, and with static lighting that could be described as pumpkin spice, Case opened the show with “I Wish I Was the Moon,” off her 2002 breakthrough, Blacklisted, still sounding very much brand-new 20 years later, her salted-caramel voice reverberating in the big room. The lyric “Thought that I was young / Now I’ve freezing hands and bloodless veins” in the opening song maybe hit a little bit different for Case on Thursday as it was her 52nd birthday, which became a running theme of the night. The singer-songwriter made it clear that she’s feeling fantastic and, on songs older and newer, made a strong argument that she’s as good as ever.

Case put out what could be described as a greatest-hits release earlier this year, and the set was dominated by crowd-pleasers from the past two decades, nearly every song making someone in the room’s night. “This Tornado Loves You,” off 2008’s Middle Cyclone, featured nifty echo harmonies, and“I’m An Animal” leaned on a three-guitar-led folk-rock-swing. When Case announced it was her birthday, declaring that she’s feeling like herself and “kind of dangerous,” the crowd spontaneously sang “Happy Birthday.” This kicked off perhaps the strongest, most autumnal stretch of the night that included the dark, dead-leaf-crunch groove of “Last Lion of Albion,” “Deep Red Bells,” which matched a voice to a song as perfectly as you’ll find, and “Margaret vs. Pauline,” with a restart after Case botched the beginning, but, once the band kicked in, had the coziness of a warm sweater on the first cold day of the season.

Case confessed she’d never been so “self-indulgently birthday” before, but it perfectly fit the mood of the show, with the last parts of the set highlighting the very first song she wrote and the first song she wrote with her longtime guitarist Paul Rigby, “Maybe Sparrow.” The encore featured more well-loved songs from her catalog — the evocative “Halls of Sarah” and, finally, “Star Witness” — as well as a cupcake and a candle and another singing of “Happy Birthday.” —A.

DAY 17 OF @ride-the-cyclober

PUMPKIN PIKACHU!!

Ocean O'Connel Rosenberg from Ride The Cyclone

Is a middle regressor!

rtc theme park idea

ofc there's the cyclone

karnak greets all the visitors and reads their fortunes as part of the admission process

the six all have rides themed to their songs + their favorite rides permanently fixed there

jane's coaster is called the Decapitator and the gift shop sells little headless dolls. The Decapitator is TERRIFYING and hurts people's necks.

Constance has a coaster called the Sugar Cloud (with a snack shack nearby called the Sugar Cloud Cafe) and has lots of loops and is generally really fun and a family favorite.

Noel's got a tavern called the Boozy Floozy Flashing Light Tavern (it's shortened by locals and regulars) and the tallest coaster in the with intricate painted circus/fair details on the cart called the Neverending Carnival. When you ride it you can see the whole park. People say getting off the Neverending Carnival makes them feel drunk.

Ricky's got a Zolar themed story-packed coaster like silver dollar city's Fire in the Hole and the gift shop sells comics about Zolar.

Mischa has one coaster that's a thrill ride that plays rap music while you wait in line, and another that plays Ukrainian folk music that is more of a scenic ride. (the guide on the coaster tells a story of two lovers tragically torn apart as they ride)

Ocean's coaster is a kiddie coaster called the Headline Maker. There's a theater in kiddieland that puts on the improv scenarios and teaches kids moral lessons.
