regina spektor is a violent zionist, but i don't think it's constructive or honest at all for people to be like "well her art was always bad anyway." some terrible people have made great art. This idea that artists with unsavory morals can't make good art (1) only feeds into some people's mindset that if they dislike something, that MUST mean there is something ideologically wrong with it, and (2) some people then take longer to realize the true colors of their favorite artists because... good artists can't be ethically bad right?? and so they hang on to their faves and pretend they are so righteous and defend their every move when sometimes. sometimes you just gotta accept that your favorite art was made by somebody you don't agree with, and you have to identify how much you are willing to support someone like that and what lines you have that can't be crossed
This was intended to be a storyboard sketch for Trod but I got carried away, though I actually like how it came out. HD Download for free on my patreon. Flats/sketches below:
Every time I want to listen to music on my PC I have to wait a solid thirty seconds for the cranky old external hard drive where I keep anime soundtrack MP3s I downloaded off of Limewire in 2002 to spin up, and every time I remind myself that it beats the alternative.
happy halloween! here's a spooky song i wrote + recorded yesterday. lyrics under the cut!
Guy:
I don’t feel quite like myself
Inside I’m fighting with somebody else
Blacking out, waking up with no memory
Blood on my hands in the middle of the street
Demon:
This guy’s a vessel of the highest degree
No-brainer, got no brains and no self esteem
The perfect host for my unholy needs
With whom I’ll carry out the most devilish of deeds
Guy:
I’m possessed
My mind is not my own
Demon:
I’ve got him on the phone
You’re under my control
Guy:
I’m possessed
Oh now what have I done?
Demon:
Oh, this is so much fun
With you under my thumb
You’re possessed!
Guitar/Bass solos
Guy:
I’m possessed
There’s voices in my head
Demon:
I’ve got him seeing red
You’re under my control
Guy:
I’m possessed
I ate the local priest...
Demon:
Ooo, I’m such a little beast!
Now let’s go have a feast
Okay but..what if the starkid cast went out in costume and performed la de dah dah day in public randomly one day..have them hide amongst the general public and all come out one by one to torment Jon Matteson as Paul.. and then when the song is over they all just disperse back into the crowd silently while Jon runs away in terror. Just a thought.
Not only could it be a sick publicity stunt, it would show us how la de dah dah day actually happened, without the music. And the confused onlookers really taking the cake.
a discord buddy wanted to see Emma tormented by Zoey and her theater friends at work, aka why I think Emma deserves to be the murderer in Cast Party Massacre. /hj
