time for some investigative journalism (aka cracking what's going to be on the RHRN soundtrack). the timestamps are visible on amazon.

Imperium

Kaisarion

Rats

Faith

Spillways (first five are all freebies since you can see them on the visible half of the first disc)

Cirice (deduced via timestamp and absolution's placement)

Absolution (freebie, visible as track 7 on amazon)

Call Me Little Sunshine (very likely, matching timestamp)

Watcher In The Sky (guess, approximate timestamp, hat seen in trailer)

Dominion + Twenties (possible, approximate timestamp, seen in trailer)

Year Zero (possible, approximate timestamp, seen in trailer)

Spoksonat + He Is (likely, approximate timestamp, seen in trailer)

Mary On A Cross OR Mummy Dust (probably just one of these, impossible to say which)

Respite On The Spitalfields (certain, only possible timestamp)

Kiss The Go-Goat (certain, matching timestamp)

Dance Macabre (very likely, approximate timestamp, trailer)

Square Hammer (very likely, approximate timestamp, trailer)

If You Have Ghosts (very likely, approximate timestamp)

i'm pretty sure that the songs cut from what was actually played at the forum are ritual (would have been after absolution), con clavi (would have been after cmls), miasma (baffling but absurdly funny given the cover art), and either mary on a cross or mummy dust. they're about the same length, and unless things have been reorganized significantly from the order they were played at the show, i suspect only one of them is on there. the soundtrack is 1h30.

if the soundtrack is 1h30, and if we assume miasma is absent from the soundtrack but in the movie (seen in trailer), we can tack on another five. the movie is 2h25, at least five of that is credits, so songs + credits probably makes up 1h40, 1h45 of it.

there's probably something in the neighborhood of 40 minutes of non-concert footage in the movie, if we assume they didn't cut any other in-movie songs out of the soundtrack.

They're still coming after you. And there is nothing you can do.

Followed by a more powerful, angry version of spoksonat?

I think Rats might have been a message to the Clergy that no matter what they do...Terzo, Secondo, Primo...they're still coming after you.

Through Copia.

a very interesting idea!!!

since rats was the first mv we saw of copia it may hit even harder. as if he wanted to begin with a bang and prove who he was- prove that he’s never gonna forget what happened to the previous papas and not only that, promising to avenge them

CD05 - Prequelle

This is the moment of just letting go

Prequelle is the red Ghost album. It's incredibly good. When I first got into Ghost, one of my favourite songs of theirs was Life Eternal (that song is absolutely magnificent but we'll get to her later). I didn't know much about them when I went to see Franz Ferdinand but before the show, my friend and I went to a book/music store (as one does). I gasped. "Ghost", I gasped. My friend said, I quote, "Hm?" I grabbed the first album I could put my hands on, (this one, would you believe it), and answered "Ghost. Ghost is good.". And we left and saw Franz Ferdinand.

Since then I got way more acquainted with the band and bought any album I could find because I am a very passionate person. Anyways I'm feeling a bit insane tonight and so I shall listen to the album in its entirity and tell you about the songs as they play, though when the song ends, I shall stop typing. You have my word. This is about to be very interesting. Yes. Interesting is the word. No one bored or unamused here. Let's go guys gals and funks!

Ashes: It's spooky. I do like when the drums kick in. And the little melodie that sounds like spoksonat. Good. I love a good intro me. SYNTHS!! Rats: Okay I need to talk about this song more than I need air. First of all, it's called rats, it's about rats (but not literally) and I love that. One thing about me is I will appreciate the drums on that song. Insane. "Rats! Oh whoah oah" So true bestie. The solo is flawless. I love the start. I love the middle. I love the end. Except I don't really because I wish it would go on forever. Now. Here comes the best part of the song. The outro. Honestly, the Rats outro has NO RIGHT!! being this sexy. I need to smooch it. I need to sniff it, lick it, tell it I love it. (if you got that reference, call me) Faith: INSANE SONG ALERT! I actually used to skip that one. I do not know why. I think I didn't like the intro. What a dumb bitch I was. I love this song a lot, a lot lot. The guitar sounds so good. The guitar part after the first "Because faith is mine" is so cool. And the stink part is so cool as well. This is just a really cool song I think. Yes. TULULULULULULU also this outro part pretty See The Light: Actual pissed anthem. The verses are so classy and elegant and then bOOM we are here to lick some serious butt! (kick aziraphale it's kick butt for heaven's sake) (can't believe i just said that) Also I do love a good synth solo. I don't actually know if it's synths, but it sounds like synths so. Don't know guys. Miasma: Iconic instrumental, I do not make the rules, it is so fun! The way the drums kick in in the beginning!! The bass line!! Yes!! Also +1 kazoo point, it is incredibly fun to kazoo. Having Papa Nihil be resurrected every time they play it live for the sax solo is a master move. It's really good. I can't describe my favourite part but it's out there and it's glorious. I love Miasma. Dance Macabre: Wobble wobble time! The sheer vibes communicated through the rythm. The little piano notes. It's so good. Wow these posts really are an opportunity for me to show off my amazing vocabulary aren't they. Anyway. It's so good. It's a dancey song, not possible to not vibe. Yes. Pro Memoria: Bloody love the piano and the way more and more instruments join in, really keen on that in songs. AND THE VIOLINS!! (again, are they violins or do I not know my instruments.) Witch Image: Rad title. That pre-chorus scratches my brain in the best way (especially the one where the backing vocals go higher on "over"). And the guitar riff in the chorus… yes please. Obsessed with the way he sings "white horse". QUICK DRUM SOLO!! Helvetesfönster: Oh yeah this is a beautiful piece of music. What does Tobias put in his instrumentals. It's such a trip to pretty land (it's too late for me to make sense shut up this song's melodies are on point is what i'm trying to say). Gosh. <- Me, listening to Helvetesfönster by Ghost. Life Eternal: This song has made me cry more than once, and those high piano notes at the end are to blame. Instrumentally this song is extremly precious and graceful. And the lyrics and his voice only add to that. It's a beautiful song, very dear to me, makes me feel emotions, and I think that's beautiful.

I'd like to add something about second and third Ghost tracks. Tracks 2 & 3 of Ghost albums make me go absolutely wild. If you know you know. If you don't know, I don't know what to tell you man, listen to them perhaps? Maybe? Would you do that for me? Okay. The love I have for this band is immense. toodles

tagged by the lovely @business-pug to shuffle my music and post the first 10 that popped up so these are from my favourite songs on my phone

I tag @bonk-bonk-tom @h-s-n-b-r-g @killerfaerie520 and @punkrock-bottom if they want to/haven't done it already

finally got the drive to do another one of these...........

Hi! I was wondering what the best book/source is for stories like the one where Gus got Alan S arrested and stuff like that. Or any other fun recommendations you might have :)

Hi! Ooh... most astronaut biographies have their share of fun moments like that. The Real Space Cowboys by Ed Buckbee (with Wally Schirra) is pretty fun. Light This Candle: The Life and Times of Alan Shepard by Neal Thompson focuses on Al, of course, but he was the most fun, so... ;) I also like Moon Shot by Jay Barbaree (with Al and Deke), Deke’s memoir, Deke!, and Into That Silent SeaTrailblazers of the Space Era, 1961-1965 by Francis French and Colin Burgess.

A lot of fun stories can be found online, too, in interviews and oral histories and forums!

wow look at this shameless self advertising I made a synthesia (kinda) for Spoksonat bc I haven't seen one yet. I love the song very much even tho it's short so. Yeah.
