101: Parts Found in Sea // Seat of the Writing Man
Seat of the Writing Man
Parts Found in Sea
1984, Between
Named for a headline describing an airplane that crashed into the ocean, Parts Found in Sea were a mellow post-punk/college rock band that worked the Toronto club circuit hard throughout the 1980s before fading into obscurity. Their small catalogue (two EPs, an LP, and a live album) turns up around used shops in the GTA with fair frequency, and there are a few fond remembrances online from author/activist Cory Doctorow and the wonderful ‘80s indie blog Wilfully Obscure (which I was delighted to learn is still in business).
Parts are a very vibey band—meandering tempos, no hooks to speak of, plenty of glutenous bass to sway dreamily to. They’re not quite goth though—vocalist Steve Cowal is both melancholy and a poet, but seems like he would just look confused if you told him most people start bands to get laid. As Doctorow notes, most of Parts’ songs feel less like verse/chorus/verse/chorus affairs and more like a series of movements. It’s most notable on side-closers “Satellite” and “Body Sends Us,” which have jammy structures that give modest guitarist David Currie (not the former Ottawa Symphony Orchestra conductor, which, I know, you were thinking) a chance to scratch away at his instrument in the spotlight.
youtube
In retrospect, Parts Found in Sea sound like one of those transitional bands between European post-punk and the forthcoming wave of predominantly North American post-rock bands. If they’d come along a little later, they might’ve alighted on some ideas that could’ve expanded and abstracted their sound in interesting ways—but as it is, they left behind a catalogue full of pleasant surprises for aficionados of gloomy, thoughtful ‘80s alternative.

I wonder how the HP kids feel about the oceangate stuff going on rn
#daughter of the deep#rick riordan#oceangate#they’d probably find it funny for the most part#at least#I feel they would#def some mixed feelings#but it was 4 rich guys who underestimated the danger of the sea#(I say 4 and not 5 bc one was a 19 y/o kid who didn’t want to go)#(so they’d feel bad about him)#but the others?#they fucked around and found out

obsessed with the names in da2. carver's namesake is a man who granted his father freedom despite being the one who should have jailed him. other disciples came up with anders' name because he kept the one he had away from circle and templars and it is how it's been since then. fenris' name comes from his former master but he reclaimed it because he doesn't run away anymore. isabela adopted the name given her by a man who never took her seriously and then she became a captain isabela after she killed him. hawke is hawke because it's the way people refer to them and they're defined by people. all of their names. they tell a story
#carver became a warrior and watched over his mage siblings beliveing he's never been good enough and he had no idea who maurevar carver was#anders got everything taken away from him by the templars but they never found out what was his name. neither did anyone else#fenris left behind another name and a family and a whole life. but does it matter anymore. is it worth taking it back#isabela was just a joke for her first captain. but who's laughing at the queen of the eastern seas#hawke is a symbol of the people and for the people. names and titles do not matter. they're hawke and that is enough#replaying da2 and having a lot of Thoughts#gonna dissect every little part of this game#dragon age#dragon age 2

am finally back home and can say without a doubt that i am just fundamentally not built for long distance travel however the train was much nicer than planes
#that being said. pressurized cabins drive me insane a little bit#and also it gives you pretty intense sea legs for a While#like. the ones from the first trip hadnt gone away by the return one. so. might be stuck with that for a few days#we shall see#also ajr live fucks severely#the albums were already incredible but that was a goddamn religious experience#like. idk the way i think abt it is theyre more djs than a regular band esp w their performance showing the making of way less sad#like their music is very electronic‚ theyre making mixes of their own sound effects more than singing in one go#so like. the vocals were a teeensy bit rough at times#notably times it has taken me Literally Hundreds Of Hours Practice to be able to consistently sing along with#and times ive found its literally physically impossible to like. no matter what#idc how big your lungs are‚ there is no human on earth who can do that final run of karma in one breath#much less to An Entire Stadium After An Hour Of Jumping And Dancing And Singing Loud As Fuck#so like i dont blame them for that‚ you dont go to live shows expecting it to be 100% perfect anyways jwbdjsbfksb#the trumpet however. well she was certainly playing sometimes. and was very enthusiastic about her flares.#however. in most of their songs they use midi trumpets to my ear at least#meaning she was likely an addition specifically for live performances and in my personal band kid opinion#prooobably was not in any of the like. higher tier bands? idk just. a lot of the mistakes she was making were hitting as stuff that got#taught out of us the instant we joined any band beyond regular concert#so i would guess she was probably just like. a friend who happened to play trumpet in high school or maybe even just middle school#and they knew that the trumpet parts in their pieces were big and distinct enough that like they /had/ to get a live player#and just kinda. didnt anticipate the audition -> performance gap#like. her tone was really fried the whole time like she was playing as hard as possible#which. she was mic'd. have the sound guy turn her up.#the way they did it made it sound like she was using a mute but not. like she only got the bad parts of a mute from it yknow#her tempo and timing were. bad. theres no nice way to put that one it just Was Bad‚ like the trumpet runs in ajr songs arent. complicated#like. quite literally if you handed me the sheet music right now i would have it down perfect in a week at absolute most#and better than that player on sightread. like. we did so many sightreading drills.#like ill share my band kid creds if anyone cares but i need to emphasize this isnt me being braggy like. they genuinely just arent hard#fuck im out of tags. w/e i think only like one of yall also listens to them anyways so i can leave it there

oh the fact that he was only there a couple months is making me have Feelings
on the one hand at least he wasnt there too long (i was assuming it was over years so its good he didnt suffer as long in comparison)
on the other thats. so much to happen and to process within such a short period of time, it really is like you saif about the vase shattering - he was broken so quickly
a timeline where he spends actual Years with Sam would be so interesting
their whole relationship is a constant push and pull, and the longer they'd spend with each other the more they would crave it as much as it hurts them. the thought of them trying to live without each other and be their own people is scary when all they've known for years is each other. their mind games would have settled by then, not quite healthy but they have each other figured out, for the most part, the boundaries so much clearer yet blurrier. (do you know Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? something like that.)
it would be especially interesting to explore because at the end of it all, Sam can't get too brash because he needs Dream for the revive book, and Dream, as much as he hates being a pretty thing to ogle and use, just doesn't want to be alone again.
#asks#copacetic au#the dynamics is definitely there thru the whole au but they never have the chance to grow too codependent#its forming and its there and they both want and need each other but its still too new#their relationship still rocking like it's a boat left out at the sea in the middle of the storm#they're terrible for each other but they don't know in what ways#they have yet to grow comfortable enough when Dream is found#the novelty of it is the interesting part really. because at some point it becomes repetitive in the way they hurt each other#it's only getting there and maybe that's why the separation hurts Dream so much#they've just grown comfortable. they just figured each other out. why are they taking this from him?

the girl goes to rummage through her pockets. "something to give back... um. oh!" she pulls out a handful of seashells and proudly offers them to you. "found them allbymyself!"

quick damibeck thing bc i am thinking abt them and i Want To Share
theyve known each other since they were kids and were each other’s closest friends at that time and therefore ended up engaging in a lot of the same activities, and therefore both ended up learning to play music (the island they grew up on had a piano in… idk the tavern maybe or the library dont worry abt it). linebeck learned to play piano and damien, after trying out a few instruments when he had the chance (there was an island kinda nearby with a bit of a musical culture) started playing clarinet. they practiced together a lot and while damien decided to commit to really honing his skill on clarinet linebeck branched out a bit and looked into composing. since they almost always practiced together and effectively knew each other’s skill levels and preferences they worked on a piano and clarinet duet and finished writing it a bit before linebeck left, and they promised each other to practice it for when they met back up
anyways they each have half of a duet with each other and practice it frequently in the time they spent away from each other and both refused to just give up on it and kept at it even though they didnt really have a guarantee that they’d ever have a chance to play it together
#damibeck#salty talks#damien fletcher#linebeck#listen listen. they are. kind of insane abt each other and not strictly in a romantic sense they latched onto each other#as scared and lonely and (in linebecks case) traumatized kids and found solace in each other#deciding that linebeck can play piano n compose music is so funny. i like to think its smth abt him that always blindsights new ppl#he hates sea shanties and would rather play fuckin. jazz piano. he could nail the piano part in rhapsody in blue#also damien could nail the clarinet part in rhapsody in blue. rhats a good song#damien literally has a part time job (or whatever) playing clarinet semi professionally while piano is a great stim for linebeck

i feel like the biggest difference between harry potter and percy jackson is that harry would be one of the people would would bully me and percy would be one of the people who would stand up for me
#in honor of the new teasers dropping here's something i've been thinking about for a while now#this especially applies to post sea of monsters percy#when i was a kid people always used to say that if i liked percy jackson that i should read harry potter because they're similar#i took up the series as a challenge but i never did warm up to it#and im glad i didnt#especially now that i know what i do#dont get me wrong pjo has its flaws#but the difference is apparent from the moment you open up the books#reading the first few lines of the lightning thief under the play structure in fourth grade#i felt like i was in on a secret#like i was special for getting ahold of this book#even though i knew it wasnt real#the opening paragraph.....it activated a part of my imagination that truly believed it MIGHT be real#i was sucked into it- i immediately found common ground with percy in a way i had never experienced before#i remember thinking#he's just like me#i had been into books for a long time#but that was the first time i truly felt *seen*#i felt like percy would understand me in a way that nobody else did#i thought of him as a friend#and for a lonely little kid#that meant everything#pjo#percy jackson#rick riordan#the lightning thief#perseus jackson#walker scobell#percy jackon and the olympians#battle of the labyrinth

but literally vernon applegate spent 3 years on the coast of a great lake (idr which one) just studying sea lampreys and how they breed and live and eat and their life cycles and learned more about them than anyone had before for his thesis so that he could figure out how to kill them. there's some post on here idr what it was about or maybe it was quoting something but it was like "how can someone become so intimately knowledgeable about something and then kill it" yeah that
#NOT saying he shouldnt have done it sea lampreys are invasive and destroyed large fish populations.#anyways a big part of chapter two in death and life of the great lakes was abt all this. in love w this book so far <3#and then how he and his team decided to kill them was keep putting poisons in this tank w a sea lamprey and two other fish#and see when they found one that killed the lamprey but not the other fish. and it worked and they still do that (w a better formula)

Jellyfish identification reddit my beloved (<- and JellyfishWarehouse my beloved)
#I'm honestly not the best at differentiating between different species but it's ok :)#tbh i'm not 100% sure that the jellyfish was a chrysaora pacifica bc there's usually some reddish pigment in there#but#it's the closest one we've got and the most popular ones kept in aquariums#someone else mentioned the chrysaora quinqincirreha(?) and that seems like a likely option#though usually it is ghostly white and doesn't have the same striking stripes that the image does#it reminds me more of the sea nettles that are found around parts of Africa but I haven't done enough research on them to be 100% sure#chrysaora pseudocelata is such a funny name to me tho#um#anyways I should rly learn how to differentiate octants in a jellyfish#because that's like the number 1 way to differentiate between species#they are radially symmetrical so they have 8 parts#number of tentacles is surprisingly important too#the chrysaora pacifica (japanese sea nettle) has 40 tentacles while the chrysaora melanaster (northern sea nettle) has 24#the difference is also pretty staggering with the closely related chrysaora achlyos and chrysaora colorata (black sea nettle and purple str-#-iped sea nettle respectively). can't remember which one has more but my bet is on the c. achlyos#mun rambles#jellyfish#chrysaora pacifica
