TBH if I'm compared to Britney, that is a good thing.

I think there's a span of time when things are magical for a band, and then it usually goes to shit.

That second video instantly reminded me of this...

Oh my god, yes. GREAT FIND!!! I bet they got the inspiration from that.

I love the ending of that second vid, where it goes full demonic-punk, with the weird Blaire-Witch-Project-style conclusion.

The first video, though... (latin girl accent) That First BIDEO, THOooo-- the fucking energy after the horn-player opening act leaves the stage, lol, it's so immediate, it's like the dude was never there. When Cara Drolshagen starts crowd surfing, I felt like that was the final nail in the covid Coffin. The show was in 2023, not 24 like the channel says--pretty sure about that. But yeah, just a big "fuck off" to social distancing.

That said, I still get deeply annoyed if I'm in line at a grocery store and someone is too close behind me. I'll leave the shopping cart behind me in line if I feel like some motherfucker looks like they be wantin to cuddle. Little old, soul-sucking Karens are the worst. You can feel them just wanting to shadow drain you from across the fucking store. Have you ever been vibed out by someone standing too close to you, just while looking at some string cheese or some shit? They get real close without saying excuse me, and I'm like "fuck it, I'll look at the cheeses later". I give up because it's not worth my time to scan their sorry asses. Save the energy for real shit. Let them have cheese.

Yeah I had an experience like this not too long ago. Shit was creepy.

Maybe I look more inviting than I feel.

The Rider-Waite Tarot deck animation is pretty cool.

Got to love the all major-arcana layout. I actually received one. It was given to me by an 8th generation, 4-buckle witch in NC back in the early 90's. It was like "You have come to the world to conquer death and ascend". It was that pure.

I have a classic deck I wanna do some videos with sometime...

It's ultra seasoned. I like it when a deck is super worn out.

I've been working on this deck for about a year and it's reached that worn in aesthetic that I like.

I love this. It's nice when something gets some texture, some life, some energy, history. It's been through some shit, but instead of getting all hard and rigid it softens in a good way.

I like the Rider-Waite deck. I feel like it's the most neutral of the decks. Crowley's and Lady Frieda Harris' Thoth deck, by contrast, is pretty fucking dark. Waite and Crowley weren't exactly friends, but I think Crowley took it more seriously than Waite. They were both men of letters and high up in the Golden Dawn, but Waite I think was classier, more refined, and Crowley more creative, eccentric, the superior writer. Crowley wrote several scathing articles about Waite, and Waite could never be bothered to take it seriously. As far as working within the context of the Tree of Life, I think both decks offer some of the best correlating imagery, with Waite's edging ahead due to less energy baggage (I seem to recall reading somewhere that Crowley was very demanding of Lady Frieda Harris and it crossed into abuse).
