I've Heard That Song Before...

Can I just say that Howard really needs to be slapped at times? However, COMPLETELY FORGETTTING DOTTIE was priceless. Actually, what was priceless was Jarvis' and Carter's eye-rolls in response, and Howard ONLY remembering after Jarvis reminded him what he was wearing. Jarvis does not deserve to get slapped in Howard's stead: Howard needs some....  Brains? More usefull than that genius ones? Maybe?

And, look at this I found!!  Alright, completely pointless - BUT! HAT! GLOVES!!!  I love it!!  I actually just made a hat much like that - not that it matters....  I look rather like some vintage airline stewardress when I wear it. 

No, actually. I was trying to make another Film Noir photograph compilation for a character. Of course, as you can - or will - see, I got distracted.

All of what I've learnt in graphic manipulation has been by trial and error. Most early ones I really need to remake - but some were good in their simplicity. Or at least not so horrid.....  Which we were on the subject of Marvel, I tried to find some of my old ones....

First: NONE OF THE TEXT ON THESE PICTURES IS MINE!!  The pictures are mine - well, the compilation at least - but the text comes from a tumblr site of SHIELD recruit survival tips. http://shieldrecruitsurvivaltips.tumblr.com/ A hilarious site, and well worth the read.

Tip #22 --  This - and most of these - were made after I saw the promo for the pilot of Agents of SHIELD. And had just found out that Coulson was still alive.

OBVIOUSLY written for Tony....  Tip #48

Tip #131 --  Again, after the...well, this one is later in the series at least because these images weren't available before. Basically, Ward being condescending to Hill concerning Agent's death....

Tip #132 --  I adore that oneshot. It was hilarious, and priceless. And truly perfect. For some reason, a lot of these I always feel were written in some way for Stark....

And now I hate Sitwell - but this was before Hydra....  Well, technically not - but still!

Tip #220  .....I don't like this one, really. But it was the first I made, and I might as well include them all, so....  Voila - there it stays. I'll remake it at some point......





I was discussing music with another. We spoke of tastes and styles and trends, and I mused on how I really can't narrow down my tastes. I love classical, orchestral, vintage, jazz, swing, operatic, Broadway - it simply depends on how the performers handled it.

In short, I demand clear lyrics and a clear melody (or clear and pleasing notes if 'tis instrumental) in a song which rules out...metal? Whatever rock music that is that is just...  Well, that and the music actually makes me nauseous for whatever reason. All around a displeasing experience.

But I've always been one to complain that modern music is rubbish and old music is infinitely better.

I've also changed a lot as I've heard more music, but the same themes turn up in most of them - the same...Vintage, classic themes. If that makes sense.

Not all of them are, of course - but they all have...themes.

So while I can enjoy some songs, I generally tend to stay away from modern music.

And then I was introduced to the Piano Guys.

Originally, I actually listened to their Star Wars cover - but while that's humourous, this is the lyrical.

Now, I've never actually heard the original version of this song because I enjoyed this one so much. I don't know what it was about this video, but it reminds me of Vintage aesthetic. Probably the earth tones I realise now after analysing that earlier.... But nonetheless.

I heard it first when I was just researching Vintage fashion and beginning to try to implement it into my life. And I wondered if there were other modern songs that sounded vintage.

Now I did try to listen to the original version of this song - nope. Entirely too slow. More of a dirge rather than a fun song.

This, of course, only proves my opinion that modern songs are better if made vintage.
