Hola Familia,

Later post that I would like, but I have a cool reason...I think!

As some of you know, each summer my brother and I go to the Texas Frightmare Convention since we are both horror lovers. Bruce Campbell is going to be there, so that means I have to do my best Ash Williams cosplay!

I was working on building a chainsaw "hand" all night, hence why this post is late! I promise to send pictures when I have the full cosplay done. Groovy...

Girls Band Cry, S.1, Ep. 2 - Three Nocturnal Creatures

I was worried that I wouldn't feel as connected to this anime. I was wrong. I'm connected. Nina may have dropped out of school, but it seems she only did so to look for a better place for her mentally. I get that.

Has there ever been an instance where you did such a thing for yourself?

Sound! Euphonium, S.1, Ep. 8 - Festive Triangle

Ah, yes.

Young band kid love. It's a thing.

Our band director used to joke about how many of us would meet the love of our lives in band, and no lie, I have friends who married their band sweetheart.

I dated my band sweetheart until my junior year of college. šŸ˜…

As an adult watching that band kid love now...it's kinda gross. Ha!

There may not be a crazy amount of music topics in this episode, but it did bring up the topic that most band kids are in band for....

BAND-MAID - Zen (Behind the Scenes)

Gorilla face, fruit basket, and a pen snatching game!

I am bummed we didn't get to seem them at MAPPA, but at least we got to see what it was like while they were filming!

They are so cute!

No Cats Were Harmed…

So…

Last week I said Jacen wasn’t the most exciting cat. He may not be silly like a typical orange cat, so I as his human mother feel obligated to bring out the fun side in him.

I filmed this a long time ago for fun and rarely ever do this with my pets. I promise I didn’t hurt him and he got plenty of treats after!

This song, which gives me the giggles, is from the Seinfeld episode where Kramer and Newman are making sausages. I blame my brother for getting me hooked o...

仮 (Kari) BAND - 侍 (Samurai) Groove

I wasn't expecting to have my ears graced with a mixture of progressive rock and jazz.

This fusion was like your favorite cocktail being made the right way. Like my scotch on the rocks with just the right amount of water.

This one felt...gooooooooood!

Hola Familia!

I am feeling more energized this week. I have no idea why, but it feels great! Maybe it's because I can see the school year finish line? Who knows!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

  • May 17th - "KATE" movie watch party on Discord!

    • I have attached a flyer to the photos on this post! Check it out if you are interested in hanging out together to watch a movie that also has the MAIDS in it!

Here's our line-up this weekend:

Girls Band Cry, S.1, Ep. 1 - Tokyo Heave-Ho

The animation in this anime is GORGEOUS! It's like I am watching a live action video game with that anime style of drawing that I love!

...this anime is so cute. A girl just wanting to break out on her own to find her own way and meets her favorite guitarist?

The humor is gold as well. I lost it with the resturant scene. Good stuff!

AND THE MUSIC! YES! The background music is beautiful and that credit scene. OMG!

Sound! Euphonium, S.1, Ep. 7 - Crybaby Saxophone

I dive deep into band kid culture here.

This episode cut deep for me.

Also, if you are at all interested in seeing what I do during the marching season (July through October) I have posted a marching band video for you to compare what I do to episode 5 of Sound! Euphonium.

"Come Together" - The Beatles, High School Marching Band Show

NOTE: To keep a little anonymity, I cut out the name of the school I work with.

Okay...I said I would post this when our marching season was over. I couldn't find the official recording that we have made for our band.

I asked around and got a hold of a good recording! Finally!

A little bit about what I do with marching band:

This might come as a surprise to you all, but I am the visual coordinator/marching tech.

April 22, 2025: Shareholder Meeting!

Discussions included today are:

1. Why were there so many interruptions these past 3 months?

  • My lack of an efficient recording and editing schedule was the main reason, but also teacher stress/burnout (not content creation) is partially to blame.

2. My attempts (or lack there of) at doing things to keep myself physically and mentally healthy.

  • NOTE: I didn’t feel like I was 100% clear in the video. I want to get back to a routine of my gym time, and i...

Jacen is not horribly interesting…

I had a Boston appreciation post last week. Here’s my Jacen one…even though…he’s not super active.

When you look at him it’s like the cogs in his brain are working too well. He’s super smart. From what I understand, orange cats are supposed to be goofy.

Jacen is far from it. The most ā€œgoofā€ I get out of him is when he chooses to harrass Boston.

By the way, the harness was used to help calm him when I moved with him. Moving caused him so much stress and my ...

DIZZY SUNFIST - Life Is A Suspense

I hope my face on a swimmer isn't weird. I was just trying to channel the comedy of the band with their cute little spermy head pieces!

I didn't remember Dizzy Sunfist being this punky sounding. I am glad I was brought back to this group. The English lyrics were a surprise for me. The context hits hard. The costuming was great!

...but I am afraid they aren't active anymore. Please tell me they are.

BAND-MAID - alone (w/ score)

I sinned again here. I am sorry again...but it was hard to resist.

I forgot about how "alone" was the breakout song for BAND-MAID since it was their first original composition by Kanami and members.

Seeing the score, you can tell that Kanami really pulled out all the punches. Parts are stacked and fully orchestrated. Parts are more advanced here. Changes happen in the parts in comparison between the other songs and this...

It's cool to see the evolution.

FERN PLANET - ć‚¤ćƒ«ć‚·ć‚Ŗćƒ³ (Illusion)

Another band that I will never get new material from ever again.

This kind of thing kills me. I know that we at least have the memories and what is created now, but man...this band has a cool sound. The harmonies of the vocals and the sheer musical talent of all three memebers here shines so bright!

This was a cool suggestion.

Sound! Euphonium, S.1, Ep. 6 - Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Tuba

Sorry for no new anime today. My seasonal allergies decided to turn into a cold.

I accidentally watched this before episode 5...I was so confused but didn't show it.

I do want to say that this show is still pretty darn accurate to what band life is like. I'm loving this!

The Red Clay Strays - Wanna Be Loved

I'm sad that this got blocked on YouTube! This group has a warm place in my heart already. There's something about the voice, the style, and the overall experience that makes me feel...warm and homey.

I hope you enjoy!

Boston ā€œSingsā€

I bought a melodica one year at TMEA because…why not? And after I started playing with it for just a little bit, I heard a small squeak in the corner.

Turns out, the sound of the melodica, harmonica, and any emergency vehical will make him do this. Before this, he had never howled before since having him.

EXTREME - Play With Me

Mozart was an amazing composer but a really funny and rude man. It was said that Mozart never really grew up and acted like a child even into his adult age.

The reason I bring this up is it seems so appropriate for EXTREME to use Mozart's "Rondo," alla Turka to introduce a song that seems like a playful song indeed. It's like it was supposed to happen this way.

The style of the guitar playing by Nuno seems to really encapsulates a classical style while bringing in the new age sou...

BAND-MAID - Before Yesterday (return with score!)

May the BAND-MAID Masters and Princesses forgive me for breaking a rule. I had to check out the live version...BUT I will repent by buying BAND-MAID merch to give to my brother! He needs to start gathering fan stuff so why not be from his little sister?!

I forgot the nostalgic feeling I got from this song and I clicked that I could hear The Ataris version of Don Henley's "Boys of Summer." I'm a HUGE Don Henley fan. Weird, maybe? I blame my dad.

So Hyang - Everyone

So Hyang needs no introduction. She is a force of beauty and grace with a powerful voice. This performance is truly moving and absolutely stunning. I honestly cannot wait to show this to a family member that I know would love the message here.

I am honestly curious if she would ever do a Selena cover of some kind. I feel like she is the only person who could do her justice.

Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien

I listened and reacted to the album version first and I blown away by the musicality of Joe Satriani. This is lyrical guitar playing with some shreddiness here and there. I honestly could imagine myself "surfing with the alien."

Curiosity got the best of me so I searched for a live version, and man did I get lucky! I hope you enjoy that part as well!

It's been a while since I have listened to GLIM SPANKY.

I feel somewhat guilty about it too. Sometimes I forget how great a and is until I get anotehr request for them, so here we are.

This is brother weekend, so I'll keep this short:

If you want Rock/Pop with a hint of the grit of Janis and some great guitar playing, this is your band.

BAND-MAID - FREEDOM (Revisited)

Once again I step into the scores of BRAND NEW MAID and man...I forgot about the live version of FREEDOM.

It was nice hearing the studio version since I think I bypassed listening to it in general. I could hear a lot fo what is going on in the score, but the live version really gave me a look into how they added transitions for Akane to do her happy gorilla drumming. Very very cool thing to notice here!

If you're reading this, my brother and I are probably getting hot pot together for the first time! Pictures to come as well as a Spiritbox vlog!
