Bring On The Starlight

by

My local Faire’s season just wrapped up this weekend, and our Shakespeare sang this song. That version doesn’t seem to be online yet, but this is probably a higher quality recording anyway. Is there a specific word of “End-of-the-performance-run-ose?”

I AM HOME FROM WORK IMMA SING YOU A SONG

HERE IS A SONG, I HAVE WRITTEN IT FOR YOU

it is about a certain angel and a certain demon and a certain Plan that was not followed.

I remembered his tumblr, it’s @neil-gaiman.

here are the lyrics:

Rise, oh prophet, and begin
Thy song of glory and of sin
The thunder struck, the sorrow came
And two and two were called by name

Speak, oh prophet, and be true
To those who fell and those who grew
To those who stood, when battle came,
And all but two were still the same

Silence, prophet, hold thy breath
Beneath the raven wings of Death
In childish hands the judgement came
And two were cast into the flame

Sing, oh prophet, and proclaim
All Hell’s disgrace, all Heaven’s shame
An apple tree, a sword of flame,
And only two to bear the blame

“Hope Eyrie” by Leslie Fish, performed by Julia Ecklar.  Originally about the moon landing, but I think it suits current events as well.  It is a GOOD DAY to be HAPPY about SPACE.

Lyrics, chords, and a 4-part choral arrangement can be found here

Happy 50th anniversary of the moon landing, everyone!

Note: unfortunately the link above no longer works 🙁
Lyrics (without music) can now be found here.

For folks who follow us on WordPress:

I just wanted to apologize for the long, long delay in syncing our Tumblr posts and responding to folks. I work at an immigration legal nonprofit in the US, and as anyone following current US politics can probably guess, that’s been requiring rather a lot of my energy recently. I’ll be trying to get back to folks who’ve messaged us on WordPress over the next few days.

Love,

The Brain Mod

Last chance to back the Misbehavin’ Maidens’ 3rd Album Kickstarter.

by

Okay folx, last chance to back the Misbehavin’ Maidens’ 3rd Album Kickstarter! It ends May 10 at 10 p.m. EDT! We are a 100% indie, self-funded band.

The album we’re funding, “Swearing is Caring,” is full of wonderfully nerdy, feminist, LGBTQIAP+-inclusive filk music, plus a lot of swearing, because #Big2019Mood, y’all.

It’s got songs about libraries, anxiety, what not to say after sex, mansplaining, catcalling, Star Trek, Harry Potter, and more.

Because we’ve met stretch goals, everyone who backs the Kickstarter gets bonus stuff, too:

1. All physical-reward-level backers will receive a “Swearing is Caring” sticker

2. ALL backers will receive a bonus, downloadable coloring book page

3. All $5+ level backers will receive an early-release single IF we hit our $17,500 stretch goal (and as I write this, we’re less than $500 away!)

Backer-exclusive rewards (ones you won’t be able to get anywhere else) include:

1. Skull pillow

2. Drunken postcard

3. Glittery variant “Swearing is Caring” enamel pin

So don’t miss out! And thank you to everyone who has supported the campaign so far – please continue spreading the word! And even if you don’t have money to spare right now, reblogs are super helpful. Thank you for boosting the signal!
