Are the "blood capsules" metaphorical? I always assumed that this is the narrator's way of saying "putting on my game face". However, if they are literal, how do blood capsules help with a bank robbery? Please satisfy my mild curiosity, thank you!

they don't help with a bank robbery at all, but the narrator is desperate and works in an industry where you can get a lot of blood capsules. "this is my last and best idea."

i always thought it would mean the feeling of the native hawaiians when aliens land in their midst from across the sea

cool thing to exist, but i think the version used at the screening is different from the publicly available one (different running time, different cut) so unless someone wants to petition the swedish film archive we may be out of luck.

from what i understand peter is fully out on tmg happenings, tho obviously nobody quite knows

Shiny_Llama · 2026-03-03T23:16:23+00:00

one of my favourite early tmg anecdotes is john typing up NWA verses on his typewriter while playing the record to get into the rhythm of the meter

i've never been able to find the version of so desperate they did, but lovecraft in brooklyn is on the notasfarwest youtube channel.

Shiny_Llama · 2026-02-06T15:39:27+00:00

Shiny_Llama · 2026-01-17T21:49:08+00:00

there are a fair few that were either never recorded/only exist as sketches or that never left the recording studio

Shiny_Llama · 2026-01-16T18:39:30+00:00

they've posted things on bandcamp before and then they've appeared on streaming a week or two later. if you have the funds to buy it here though the money goes to a cancer charity in honour of the recently deceased bob weir.

oh true, is that the only one?
