place.

renlysbaratheon: I know I talk about this way too much but I felt the need to make a proper post about this so I could get it off my chest in a better way. Every time I see this post on my dash I get so fucking pissed. First of all, Jennifer Lawrence never said this in an interview. I’m not criticizing her intelligence at all, but Jen is not this well-spoken in interviews.  Second of all, because of all the notes it has and how many people believe she actually said this. I know most of the Hunger Games fandom want to believe Jen is this perfect person and is the queen of sass but she has flaws, major flaws actually. I am surprised no one even saw something wrong with this photoset or even try to find the interview this is from. Interviewers would DEFINITELY not ask “Katniss is super skinny, how much do you weigh” because it has nothing to do with her acting in the movie. Interviewers would never ask something like this believe it or not.  So there you have it. Thirsty Hunger Games fans trying to redeem Jen for all the bad things she has said.  Here’s the interview if anyone was wondering.

Why Did I Want a Gay Jackie Robinson?

f-of-x-equals-yes:

Jackie Robinson knew that his behavior and his alone could determine for the league and for the country whether or not blacks and whites would ever be able to assemble together. He had to be unflappable.

Not my best, but I don’t think I’m supposed to say that.

My best, my absolute best, yet.

“You didn’t tell me what made you turn around. What made you come back.”
“They had a gun at Kate’s head.”

This is the video for “Childhood’s End”, directed by Emily Kai Bock and starring my father, Kenneth Welsh.


Emily and I have known each other for a long time, going back to the days of Lab.Synthese, which was the venue she lived in and ran with Sebastian Cowan, Alex Cowan and others. I have been a fan of her video work for a long time so I was thrilled that she was interested in collaborating with myself and Matt.


I have been present at two of her other video shoots (for Grimes’ “Oblivion” and Solar Year’s “Brotherhood”) so it was an unfortunate but ironic twist of fate that we were on tour during the filming of this video. As a result, some of the details of its production are a mystery to me, but it makes it all the more fascinating for me to watch. My sincere gratitude goes out to Emily, Bobby Shore and everyone else involved in the production. It’s a truly cinematic video and we are honoured to have our song as the soundtrack.


I’m also very grateful to have a video that features my father Kenneth Welsh, who is a very accomplished actor and who has spent decades acting for the stage, film & television. His career has been a long one but you may know him best from the television show Twin Peaks. His performance in the video is very moving and I’m mostly just really happy to be able to collaborate with him in some way (this is not the first time he has collaborated with Majical Cloudz, as he played the flute and trumpet on two early recordings back in 2010).


Matt and I are both really happy and excited about the positive reaction to “Childhood’s End”. It’s always a strange experience to make a deeply personal song and then release it into the world and play it for lots of different people during tours. Even though it gains a whole other significance by becoming part of who we are as a band, it still remains incredibly personal on some level. So it’s great that other people can get something out of it too!


I was going to write a whole other paragraph here offering my convoluted interpretation of the video and its relation to the narrative of the song, but then I realized: I’ve already written way too much!


Thanks!

 

Everything about this is amazing

Two weeks ago I rode the Long Island Railroad towards Massapequa scribbling Rilo Kiley lyrics in my journal like a 14 year old, feeling bored and tired. Riding the LIRR back towards the city now, doing the same thing, feeling entirely drained, considerably older, & as if a whole season has passed…
