My favorite thing about stoner groove bands is that the majority of them have the funniest names to date

Lotus Percussionist Chuck Morris and Son, Charley, Presumed Dead After Disappearing While Kayaking
- “We were all hoping for a miracle,” band says
Lotus percussionist Chuck Morris and his son, Charley, are presumed dead after a six-day search of an Arkansas lake.
The musician, 47, and his 20-year-old son disappeared March 16 while on a kayaking trip. Two kayaks and a “jacket” were found last week, ABC 40/29 reported.
“We were all hoping for a miracle, but at this point, the search for Chuck and Charley has moved to a recovery,” Lotus said in a statement.
Authorities have identified a “probable location,” Lotus said, but weather conditions and depth have hampered recovery efforts.
“While we are deeply grieving, we plan to celebrate Chuck and Charley’s lives, our memories with them and what they meant to so many people,” the band said.
The Morrises had been on a family vacation in Arkansas while Lotus is between gigs. The group is scheduled to lunch a U.S. tour April 14.
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong called the percussionist “a beacon of light … an incredible person and a true friend, always leading by example and living life to the fullest,” in a post on social media.
“Sending all of our positive vibes, thoughts and prayers to his family, Lotus and the extended community,” PPPP said. “We love you, Chuck.”
A GoFundMe campaign had raised more than $80,000 for Morris’ family as Sound Bites went to press.

One of my favorite jam bands and this song makes me want to move!

Fun in Funk
Song by Pigeons Playing Ping Ping
“You done caught me on the flipside
Knocked my train off course with the force of your eye
I could give you a brisk ride
Not your average toast, wanna hold your soul tight
Fell through it in a hot flash
Finally found the stones, you control the cold cash
Ain't a feeling you can describe
But I'm hooked on the sauce and the course is so fine
At least that's what I'm told
We put the fun in funk
It's stanky like a skunk…”

Do you think the Boys have any long-term goals? Things that requite years to learn like languages, instruments, maybe mechanics? Do you ever think they'd leave Santa Carla - or what might MAKE them leave?
Santa Carla is home, it’s like this nexus where all these dispossessed teens are drawn together and where they made a family. It’s comforting and familiar and it’s the stage where they act out their performance of eternal youth. In the movie I get the impression that they very much live in the moment. Like, almost aggressively so. It’s like they are caught in a bubble of time where the past is meaningless and the future doesn’t exist. To an extent I think they are all avoiding the deeper implications of potentially living forever.
If something—say, the events of the movie—were to come along and burst the bubble, I think there would be a lot of navel-gazing going on. Which is something I will be exploring in my David Lives AU ;-)
So Big long-term goals: no. Leaving Santa Carla? Yes possibly, if there was a drastic shake-up to their way of unlife. During the events of the movie they’re kind of stuck since I can’t see Max allowing them to go wandering.
But despite all that meta talk they would get bored if they did the same thing over and over again, so they have made an attempt to keep stuff interesting.
Languages - I feel like they would go through periods of being really into this, listening to teaching cassettes and attempting to practice on native speakers and on each other, but also fallow periods where they drop it for ages and pick it up again later. I can see Paul wanting to learn French because it’s a romance language and he thought that it would be sexy. But he got unexpectedly into it and started learning other languages from there. He’s also the most willing to accost random humans to practice speaking with them, whereas Dwayne’s collection of half-learned languages is mostly written word focused. This is in comparison to David whose linguistic skills are pretty abysmal. (There is some very rusty Gaelic knocking around in that noggin’ though.) Marko is usually Paul’s guinea pig so he picks up a fair bit from him.
Instrument-wise Paul is the most musical but he taught the others to play guitar. (As a child he was made to learn violin. There is one gathering dust in the cave somewhere.) Marko is tone deaf and cannot tell the difference between notes of music to save his life. Dwayne is passable but lacks interest to commit to it, though he taught himself to play piano. David picked up the most from Paul’s instruction and is fairly good, actually. Sometimes Paul gets him to come and jam.
For a very brief time, there was a drum set down in the cave. Very brief.
Mechanics-wise they are all interested in things that go vroom vroom but Dwayne and David are the most mechanically minded. They strip engines down together and reassemble them. Dwayne is more handy at fixing stuff but David can look at a car and know all the specs for that make and model. Sometimes he steals them to take them for test drives and rate their performance. In the cave there is a pile of tattered and soggy car magazines sandwiched between old editions of playboy and men’s ‘physique magazines’.
Marko is always knee-deep in some art project or another, which may or may not get abandoned before it is finished. He once tried to build a model of the hotel in its heyday using matchsticks.
Also Dwayne once introduced Marko to the theories of the Behaviorist B. F. Skinner, whose work in operant conditioning included training pigeons. One of the things they were taught to do was play ping-pong. Marko took a look at the wild birds hanging out in the hotel and immediately decided to try it.

DPXDC Playlist: Deadly Spark
Deadly Spark (Danny/Billy)
Cover Art created by StealingYourBones (me)
Tumblr media
Requested by: @lexinaava
Description: DPXDC Playlist. Kids with too much weight on their shoulders. the goal was to aim for that 2000s nostalgia vibe.
Songs I want to clarify why I added:
Dawn a New Day by Pigeons Playing Ping Pong: It's so bouncy and boppy. Not fully there for lyrics but more for the vibe of the song.
Normal Chicks by Bowling for Soup: Irony. They're anything but normal.
Gay Bar by Electric Six: Ok here me out: I had to heavily debate putting this either in the Dani/Connor playlist or this one but I chose this one at the end because these two are dumbasses and this song reflects that.
Even Flow by Pearl Jam: This song is about a homeless man and the struggles of living on the streets. It's perfect for Billy.
Birdhouse In Your Soul by They Might Be Giants: This song is about a nightlight singing the occupant of the bedroom to sleep... Yeah this but Danny to Billy
Get A Haircut by George Thorogood and the Destroyers: Partly because I love this band, partly because of the humor of having THIS song on the playlist. These boys want more than anything to be normal and live a normal life. They can't.
