I think you’d be a hit with my crew fwiw.

That scene in The Two Towers where Saruman’s raising his army, Christopher Lee delivers this line “they drove your people into the hills,” and his intonation on the way he draws out the last word somehow makes this one of my favorite scenes in the entire trilogy

I’m thinking about the person from the sign company who had to deliver and install this. Were they into it? Do they carry trauma with them? Was it just another job executed with cold dispassion? I hope they’re doing OK wherever they are

Spoilers for Episode 25

Been watching Death Note with one of my kids. Just finished Ep 25, Silence. No spoilers but what the fuck. Kinda feel like this could be a series finale and I wouldn’t even miss the denouement. But we press on.

Am I being overly precious by thinking they’ll use this to fuck with PSL and other orgs doing work?

I’m with you now, thanks! My brain was not cooperating this morning.

Sorry if I’m not reading this the way you intended, but was “rent-seeking” ever not meant as derogatory?

Really enjoying the new Magdalena Bay tracks, Second Sleep especially. Spent some time learning the chords by ear and was really pleased with what I found in the B section and the outro. Feels like the song is in the key of B major overall. Those sections are are underpinned by a C#-B vamp, and if we’re in B major that’s a II-I vamp. That gives a very Lydian feeling thanks to the presence of the F natural from the C# triad. Lydian scales are the same as the major scale but with a raised 4th degree, and for B Lydian you’d raise the E to E sharp which is enharmonic with F.

In fact a good way to provoke a Lydian feeling in music is to start with a song in a major key, make sure you clearly define your I chord as your tonal center, but instead of using a minor ii chord like you’re supposed to, turn that into a major II by sharping the 4th degree of your key’s major scale. This kind of modal mixture is what’s going on in Second Sleep and I love it. Lydian modes are great at conveying a dreamlike atmosphere and this hits at the point of the song where the lyrics shift focus from reality to something else, and the outro leaves us feeling strange and unsettled. Another great example of storytelling through composition from this group, great shit
