Song Saturday- The New Regime

shadowhiveSo when I was doing the post about curly haired boys a few days ago one of them was Ilan Rubin, so I decided to make him today’s song Saturday. So here is Remission Of Guilt (no warnings or anything for this one).
On the face of it, the video is a simple one. It’s shot with one camera, in a fixed point that doesn’t move during the entire thing. It gets more complicated of course when you realise it had to be shot seven times (at least) and edited together to make it look like one thing.
What this does show, however, is just how talented Ilan is. He plays every single instrument when he records the album and this video shows him play drums, keyboards, guitars and bass as well as sing. Now I’m not sure how many people can play that many instruments, but Ilan does it all (and the first The New Regime album was done before he was 20).
Of course since he plays all the instruments he has to get other people in when he tours, which he hasn’t done much of alas. I know he’s got his brother to play with him sometimes. I’ve not seen him play live in The New Regime yet sadly (I don’t think he’s even played here) though I did see him when he was Lostprophets drummer, which is what bought him to my attention.
His stuff is all on Spotify, as well as on YouTube if you wanna give a listen.

Yesterday turned out to be pretty eventful because there was a bunch of things that came. There was my sd card for the switch, so I spent ages archiving stuff and switching stuff between cards (and then redownloading too).
While sorting that I watched a stream and one a game from it, Black Desert prestige Edition. The stream was by the developers but not many people watched so they gave everyone codes, (I suspect it was because they didn’t put it on twitter). I might go on it early next week,
Also the new Mario game came, so I’ve been playing that too and I’m on world 5. But is it just me or do the levels feel kinda... disconnected to the worlds? I mean I’m in a cloud world now and there’s an ice level, why wasn’t it in the ice world? I dunno. I’ve not tried bowsers fury yet.
Also what came, which was a surprise, was the Set It Off book. I only ordered it a few days ago and, cause it was coming from America, I didn’t expect to see it anytime soon. But boom, there it was! I’ve only had a little look through, reading the bit about Lonely Dance (theres no explanation as to why it was done like that, but they are all nerds so...).
On Thursday night I went on the Fenyx Rising demo and I found it enjoyable enough I’ve got it from the sale (especially since I had Xbox credit). Also that night the Stardew update went live on consoles so I’ve downloaded that and went on it a bit last night. Annoyingly I don’t have enough for the boat (I’m missing battery packs which is annoying) so I can’t access any of the new stuff yet.
Today’s been mostly a lazy day, though we watched Tangled and something about Stonehenge. Some of the stones for it came from Wales! Which must have been some feat to move them so far. Mum has had her jab this morning though so yay! And Naryu’s happy because she got to see Milo, the pup next door, twice today!
I’m gonna watch something on shudder and then maybe game some. I might try and write something for Valentine’s if my fic brain decides to work.

And that's great news your mum got her jab. I'm still happy each time I hear of someone getting there's, one more tiny step forward.

Yeah it really is. Her friend from the library got hers the day before so I’m glad about that too
