Patreon Extras, 1/25/26 (Patreon)

Hola Familia!

The 2026 ICEPOCOLYPSE is upon the DFW area and so far I still have internet and power. Yay! It’s “icing” right now. Are you experiencing any snow or ice where you’re at? Let me know!

BAND-MAID Sunday:

I love the name of this next song. Honestly, it makes me think about one of my favorite Mario games, Super Mario Sunshine. That’s right...we’re checking out “SUPER SUNSHINE.” This starts the journey into a majority of the songs I haven’t heard on this EP. I cannot wait!

Lake Street Dive - Better Not Tell You

It’s been a bit since I’ve tuned into some Lake Street Dive. From what I understand, they have a new guitarist and keys player. I’m interested in how they groove together. The other surprise is the trio from Huntertones is playing on this track! I was so blown away by their trumpet player so I cannot wait to hear what they have in store with this!

KOKIA - For Little Tail

This reaction is unlocking some old memories for me. I’ll keep it short here, but I remember getting a Playstation Underground demo disk in the Playstation Magazine that my brother had a subscription to. Tail Concerto was one of the Japanese games you could play on the disk and I all I remember is this being the first time seeing japanese kanji and being intruguied that areas around the world had different games. I cannot wait to hear music from the game!

BAND-MAID & PRIME - SUPER SUNSHINE (Live from TGT, 2025) & behind the scenes of the 2025 final concert

I know the Maids can only record so many instrumentals and as much as that bums me out, I cannot hold anything against a band that knows that true grind of what it takes to make amazing music and be a successful band. We continue our journey listening to the new EP with the live version of “SUPER SUNSHINE” and just for fun I wanted to check out the behind the scenes of the final concert that we are checking out in these videos. I cannot wait for both!

ANIME Reactions:

Sound! Euphonium - FINISHED

I cried...mainly because the story is over and our journey is done but also because the story was absolutely beautiful. This anime does such a good job showing what the band kid experience really is like. To those who have ever wanted to know what the high school band experience was like from a former band kid and now music educator, please watch this series along with me on Patreon! This is a great representation of what the band experience is like!

The Apothecary Diaries - Season 1, Ep. 20

Maomao is on the mend in this episode, but nothing will keep her from figuring out the truth of who was behind Jinshi’s assassination attempt. A “resurrection drug.” A missing corpse. Where did our culprit go?

K-On! - Season 2, Ep. 13

With the upperclassmen either busy studying for their exams or out of the country, Azusa is bored at home. Her decision to hang out with her other friends, Ui and Jun makes for a cute adventure while Azusa checks in on her Senpais...this is just an adorable episode!

I have all my fingers, toes, limbs...EVERYTHING crossed for at least one snow day. We were told that it’s possible we won’t have school on Monday or Tuesday. Send me all the good vibes for 2 days! Living 30 minutes away from where I work makes me scared to drive to work in any icy cold conditions. I hope you are all staying safe and warm! Don’t go out unless you have to!

Stay warm!

Con Amor,💜NittPicc💜
