Allison Ponthier has a new song and music video out, Autopilot, introducing four new characters in the Ponthier-verse: 50s Housewife Who Loves Appliances (she marries a car), Aforementioned Sentient Car, Buff Delivery Man, and Sexy Priest - Buff Delivery Man and Sexy Priest may or may not be together. I choose to believe. Also of note, Allison wears a suit, and there are grungy guitars and -- swoon. I love how visually creative and visionary she is. And FUNNY.

Full Album Listen (3/10)
Lizzy McAlpine's five seconds flat dropped, and I'm not impressed. "Doomsday" and "Erase Me" were my favorite singles and they're by far the album standouts, IMO. There's some interesting personal stuff, but not really interesting listening material.

We started rewatching Our Flag Means Death with J without finishing it ourselves. I imagine we'll finish this weekend, and then I can do some deep soul work and figure out if I'm gonna write m/m (joking -- about deep soul work, not writing m/m. I'll probably do that).

We're going on a dinner-and-a-movie date tomorrow! It is gonna be weird!

I'm gonna try to do genprompt_bingo. My card is under the cut. Feel welcome to drop prompts if you are so inclined!

ALLISON PONTHIER <33

SHE IS SO PERFECT

[kore]

YOUTUBE SUGGESTED ME TO HER RANDOMLY AND I WAS JUST LIKE "A+++++"

[kore]

lol, her to me! I got so excited I was just like *KERMITFLAIL*

[aphrodite_mine]

I found her through Spotify suggestions, forever endearing that platform to me despite every other thing.

I heard "Cowboy" and knowing nothing else thought "This is extremely queer."

:D

(Muppets icon!)

UTU suggested Faking My Own Death and Late Bloomer and a bunch of acoustic session videos and I was a fucking goner.


ETA LOL actually yes I can pinpoint it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWka0KlROWs

And Harrison on the guitar oh my god, just all of it, TOO. MUCH. PERFECTION.

[kore]

She does remind me of some of the big 90s female groups -- her sound's very poppy but also banging and the voice is feminine and tuneful, and the lyrics are really different. (Kind of like Belly maybe? CARBON DATING MYSELF, LOL)

I hope your date is awesome along with the weird. *hugs*

[aphrodite_mine]

It was *LOVELY*

[lunabee34]

Oh hurray!!!!!

[scintilla10]

I don't know Allison Ponthier at all, but I love everything about your description of the characters in the Ponthier-verse. It sounds wild!! XD

Are there fandoms/pairings you're interested in for prompting purposes?

[aphrodite_mine]

You know, it would probably be helpful if I included that! :D

I haven't actually thought that much through.
