Great moments in music history: Around 1984, Van Halen were reading a negative review for one of their albums, which read, “All Van Halen sings about is women, partying, and fast cars.” David Lee Roth responded, “Wait a minute! We never wrote a song about fast cars… LET’S WRITE ONE! 😆”

When you yell at your kid that they can’t have graphic novels because they aren’t “real” books, you’re just making them hate reading.

Great moments in music history: Also a great moment in malicious compliance, in 1996, Metallica was invited to play the MTV Europe awards, where they could play their new radio-friendly music to a wider crowd, specifically their new single “King Nothing.” Except there was one problem… 🧵

Studying black holes again, which is always a fun topic because it’s objects in which time itself seems to end, but I have a simplistic solution to the “information loss paradox”: What if a “black hole” is really just spacetime contained to a dead star in the same way a planet keeps an atmosphere?

Hey all, TouhouFest here! So many memories were made this year! As a reminder, we will be hosting TouhouFest 2026 once again at the Torrance Cultural Arts Center in Torrance, CA, for the weekend of June 19-20, 2026! See y'all next year! #touhou #東方Project #touhoufest2025

True to my word - here is the FULL video of the JAM with TAM for Touhoufest 2025: www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7ta.... And naturally, today's WOTD, or rather NAME of the day is... @tamusic.bsky.social himself!! (1/6)

Hey! TouhouFest here to thank everyone for coming! We're very grateful to have had your support for 3 years now! As we gear up for the future, we want to make our event the best it can be! We'd love to hear your feedback in the form below: bit.ly/3FQr9DF #touhoufest #東方project #touhou

the Yakumos are ordering #東方Project

Back home, and one thing that’s always bothered me is: why are there folks who refuse to give up the window seat, and then shut it and nap without an eye cover? How often do you get to see the world from 10k+ feet? How often do you get to touch the clouds? How often do you see *this?*

Thank you everyone who came out to my booth this year for touhoufest 2025! I’m so happy about the things that sold well and will definitely jump on making figurines a lot earlier for 2026. And to anyone who purchased my books as well, please enjoy!

Ended up in Vegas for a layover. Even the dang airport has casino games!

There are so, so, SO many people I wanna thank for TouhouFest ‘25. -Miko-tan for ressurecting TouhouCon from the ashes into a yearly Touhou party extravaganza. -NocturnalJoey and the gaming department team for providing the equipment and games. -TAM for returning with a great show a THIRD time!

Now you see it… … now you don’t. See you next year!

Surprise! We had a dance party to “HELP ME EIRIN!” with Miko herself, and the director of Reitaisai, and a major Touhou liaison! And with people going even more nuts than they did for Bad Apple, I’d say it worked out. 😋

Folks have been asking if we’re gonna do Bad Apple this year after it was hinted we wouldn’t after the A-One concert. Sadly, we won’t. But we got something equally cool planned. Hint: Delta Silver did it last year, but this year, we got the real thing… 😏

Sound booth cam: A-One takes the outdoor stage for an encore performance! And everyone’s up on their feet!

Jose’s gonna handle A-One, so time to catch my breath. Catching the end of @megapig9001.bsky.social’s panel on his new original Touhou book, “The Sumireko Chronicle.”

Ran out of mic stands for TAM’s jam session, so I had to use myself. At least I got to play the mouth trumpet a few times and later keep the time for folks. They absolutely killed “Wind God Girl,” “The Gensokyo The Gods Loved,” & “Cirno’s Perfect Math Class” w/ @deltasilver64.bsky.social on vocals.

Sound booth cam at #touhoufest: The man, the myth, the mighty merry magic musician TAM takes the stage for the third year in a row!

Did an equipment test for TAM’s equipment by playing one of my doofy old remixes I made as a joke. It really makes you appreciate how much effort goes into the DJ sets, live mixing and remixing, and setlist design they all have. My little test track couldn’t hold a candle to theirs. 🙂‍↕️

Sound booth cam at #touhoufest: Good morning! Let’s start off with a little dancing (and some singing) with Maid Cafe Academy! Once again, if you need assistance, I’ll be at the sound booth all day.

And now that my internet’s a little better, a taste of the madness that was Project Yona. And that little mosh pit kept growing after recording. I hope we get more rock bands next year. 🤘
