Garden of Hope by James Gurney, from Dinotopia: The World Beneath (1995).

AZ: The centerpiece track on the new album is called “The Darkest Night Since 1683.” Is there a specific significance to that title and that date?

Evan: In a way it’s probably the most literal track title we’ve ever done. While we were in the middle of recording the album, there was a Winter solstice and there was also a lunar eclipse. So I was reading this article that it literally was going to be the darkest night since some date in 1683, and it kind of tied in with the material we were working on, so it made sense in this cosmic way.

La Danse macabre, opus 40 - Camille Saint-Saëns (1874)

Zig et zig et zag, la mort en cadence
Frappant une tombe avec son talon,

La mort à minuit joue un air de danse,
Zig et zig et zag, sur son violon.

Le vent d’hiver souffle, et la nuit est sombre,
Des gémissements sortent des tilleuls ;
Les squelettes blancs vont à travers l’ombre
Courant et sautant sous leurs grands linceuls,

Zig et zig et zag, chacun se trémousse,
On entend claquer les os des danseurs,
Un couple lascif s’assoit sur la mousse
Comme pour goûter d’anciennes douceurs.

Zig et zig et zag, la mort continue
De racler sans fin son aigre instrument.
Un voile est tombé ! La danseuse est nue !
Son danseur la serre amoureusement.

La dame est, dit-on, marquise ou baronne.
Et le vert galant un pauvre charron – Horreur !
Et voilà qu’elle s’abandonne
Comme si le rustre était un baron !

Zig et zig et zig, quelle sarabande!
Quels cercles de morts se donnant la main !
Zig et zig et zag, on voit dans la bande
Le roi gambader auprès du vilain!

Mais psit ! tout à coup on quitte la ronde,
On se pousse, on fuit, le coq a chanté
Oh ! La belle nuit pour le pauvre monde !
Et vive la mort et l’égalité !

The walled fortress was first taken by Genghis Khan in 1226but—contrary to a widely-circulated misunderstanding—the city continued to flourish under Mongol overlordship. During Kublai Khan’s time, the city was expanded, reaching a size three times bigger than during the Tangut Empire. Togoontemur Khan concentrated his preparation for reconquest of China at Khara-Khoto. The city was located on the crossroads connecting Karakorum, Xanadu and Kumul.

I have no pictures of yesterday’s show (Steve Noble/Stephen O’Malley) mostly because it wouldn’t have any interest without the sound. That was perfect and an hour seemed only few minutes to me. Impressive and powerful.

Platypus, Ornithorhynchus anatinus

Got a request for some history on the platypus (also known as the Duck-billed Platypus), so here’s some facts I dug up. Apparently, the platypus has been around for a REALLY long time.  In fact, there is an ancestral platypus that graced the Earth 110 million years ago, when the dinosaurs were still around.  And remains of the platypus in its current form have been found that are as old as 100,000 years! (x)

But why, you ask, is the platypus such an odd mish-mash of animals?  Well…I can’t give you an exact answer, because even scientists don’t know exactly why.  But I can tell you how the story of the platypus starts.

This illustration makes me feel like I could train a platypus to beg for treats…they’d probably stab me with their venomous leg-spikes. Well, the males, at least.

Done in Elkhart Indiana, my friend found a shark that had a top hat and a monocle online and was just getting that. Sharks arn’t really me though. This suits me a little more.  I consider myself unique in a world full of a mammals, and sort of silly just like a platypus.

fuckyeahtattoos:

This is my first tattoo; the Shards of Narsil, the Sword of Kings.

Ultimately, this symbolizes the kingship of Gondor and Arnor, the good of mankind and opposition of darkness in Tolkien’s writings, as well as the character of Aragorn, whose valor, strength of good will, compassion, and humility I revere endlessly and since childhood I’ve strived to reflect the best I can on a daily basis. It also symbolizes my love for the story of the Lord of the Rings and how it has shaped me these past ten, formative, years of my life.

As I love the films’ version of the sword, I kept it, but honored the books by only retaining the two main shards. Aragorn carries these early in the story as an heirloom of the House of Elendil, before it is reforged. The blossoms and petals surrounding it symbolize his return to Gondor as King, when once again the White Tree blossoms as his reign, and the Fourth Age, begins. 

Yes, I am an insufferable nerd!
