Final Deep Thought: I should use “They took my baby over the Hoan” as a song lyric.

It was at this point I realized they were taking my baby over the Hoan. I almost followed it further to figure out where the final destination would be, but I had some business to tend to.

The boat that was stuck in Lake Michigan slowly being escorted away by the cops onto the Hoan Bridge on Tuesday, May 6th at 8:38pm.

At this point I was in Deep Thought on where exactly they were taking it.

It was a very slowly procession heading south.

As I sat there, it slowly passed the barricades. It was the boat. It then it all came back to me. And then I realized I was about to be following the boat and cop procession very slowly.

I know this is a bad translation, but it reads off like some people’s posts and comments I’ve seen around.

A screenshot from Ground News that displays an article from Bild, a right wing publication from Berlin, Germany. The headline is a bad translation:

Feeling and political act: Bezos fucks with Trump! White House stinky

Now it's crashing between Donald Trump (78) and Amazon! The reason: Amazon wants to show how much Trump's tariffs drive prices up - directl

Also, shout out to the visual team. They legit had two cameras and were making them live and swapping between the two. I think more shows should embrace this kind of creativity. Bridge the music world and the art world. Loved this.

Sat 3/15/25: THPY at Pool in Sakuradai, Tokyo. It was their release show and my god they ripped hard.

Sat 3/15/25: くまちゃんシール (kumachan seal) at Pool in Sakuradai, Tokyo. This was a really good set. Nice and lowkey electronic stuff.

Sat 3/15/25: 黄倉未来 (Oukura Mirai) at Pool in Sakuradai, Tokyo I took like 5 videos of this set to try and best capture this performance. It was pretty long (45 minutes), and I understood barely any of it, but I still had a good time.

Sat 3/15/25: OGGYWEST at Pool in Sakuradai, Tokyo. They switched between a more mellow hip hop vibe and the rap seen here.

Sat 3/15/25: penisboys at Pool in Sakuradai, Tokyo. This band has everything. Excellent band name. Fast and heavy. Chaos. Nice melodic parts. A melodica.

Sun 3/9/25: Card at Helluva Lounge in Kobe. I don’t have too many comments, this was just a nice and pleasant set. Dug it.

Sun 3/9/25: Episode at Helluva Lounge in Kobe I really enjoyed this set. Yet another set that integrates an electronic backbone with live instruments well. Great songs too.

Sun 3/9/25: Jiménez at Helluva Lounge in Kobe. Loved the dual percussion that they had going on.

Sat 3/8/25: Manisdron at Helluva Lounge in Kobe. I was curious what was about to happen while this was being set up, but it was very fun. I think we need more artists to incorporate live drumming into their electronic sets. There’s many ways to do so, and this is just one. A great show all around.

I’m sharing another clip of them. I love that the album sounds like they recorded it in a metal box and it translated live. Gives them a slight bit of an industrial sound. Also love how every instrument is very rhythmic and then they occasionally go all out, like at the end of this clip. So good.
