ok so apparantly there are a lot of malloysical enjoyers that dont know how to listen to his hows that arent on spotify ! so here are all the steps spelled out for ya :)
first things first, you want to do this ON A COMPUTER!!! this does not work on a phone unfortunately. (to clarify, you can still listen on your phone, but you need to do the downloading and uploading on a computer)
ok so now that youre on a computer, what youre gonna want to do is go to davemalloy.com and click on the thing that says lindsay listens
some of them will have each individual song available for download and some of them will have one big zip file for the whole show. for example, clown bible has each individual song for download, and boewulf has a zip file.
for the individual download ones, you want to download each song (it helps to do it in order) and then go to your files, make sure you can find them and they're all organized.
for the zip file ones, you want to download the zip file, then go into the file and download each song from inside the zip file
now, you want to go to your settings on spotify and turn on the slider that says "show local files"
next, go to your library and click on the folder titled "local files" you should see the songs you downloaded earlier here.
now, you are going to put the songs you want in a playlist. i like to just make a playlist of the show in order so i can listen to it like an album
now you want to download the playlist on your computer.
if you want to be able to listen on your phone, make sure your phone and computer are on the same wifi. now, find the playlist that you made on your phone and download it. like magic, the songs will appear and you will be able to listen to your malloysical on spotify!
enjoy your listening!
(also, dont stop me doesnt have all the song on his website, but if you want to listen to it i might be able to help you wink wink)
saw three houses this weekend and dave really got me with the
"My heart broke
And then the world broke
And then my brain broke too
And I don't know which one to blame
I just know I'm not the same
I've been drifting
Drifting through the haze"
anyway if you can get to the city go see three houses to commiserate on your pandemic coping habits
look at my subway driver dawggg i'm having a drink 😭

Chaliapin - The Eighth of Wands
A thing I have done for a collab I'm a part of
@malloysical-tarot
This is the original card btw lol
Hopefully this acc becomes less dead in future
All 4 of my Malloysical Tarot entries! I finished these ages ago but thought I should maybe actually post them! I think my favourite is either Challiapin. It's the cleanest, has some good line art and use of colour, plus I really like how I incorporated the original card!
More art on the way soon!
@malloysical-tarot
Great Comet of 1812 is a masterclass on how to do exposition because there's a ton of moments where they tell rather than showing but the secret ingredient is putting said telling to a sick beat
DAVE MALLOY FANS:
Are you a dave malloy fan? do you like surveys? well if they answer was yes to EITHER of those questions DO MY SURVEY RIGHT NOW
Even if you only know like two of his shows please do it all data is good data. Once I get enough responses I will make a post going through the results.
name every dave malloy song
includes everything from great comet to his early independent music. see if you can beat my personal best of 226/315!
Octet act 2 you will always be famous
Reacting to the new Three Houses photos!
My Three Houses brainrot is setting in and I have to keep myself from going insane and/or spoiling myself before I see it. So lets go through the new photos released by Playbill yesterday (May 3rd)! My predictions below, but I don't know any more than you do so there won't be any spoilers!
Right off the bat. The set? STUNNING. Giving Octet/Comet/Ghost Quartet if it had a proper set. The concept of the show is an open mic night so the bar setting is a given, I love the little tables with menus, makes it very Great Comet. I love how many of Dave's shows are set in a specific place that the performance factors into. You are at an academic lecture, a jazz club, a church basement. Wonderful job by dots.
Love that the Grandmother and Grandfather double as the bartenders/waiters here. A note about the cigarette from the playbill, these are herbal cigarettes that are actually smoked for real, they just don't have any effect. Just a fun fact for realism.
ONSTAGE BAND lets gooooooo. You can see the other two characters sitting at the two little tables downstage.
No thoughts. Pretty :)
DRAGON DRAGON DRAGON DRAGON
I'm SO curious why he's here. I had assumed, naturally, that the puppet in this case would be the Wolf. But no, there's a dragon here??? My prediction is that this is either connected to the video game references in the show (we'll come to that), it's a puppet a character made, or it's some hallucination/dream sequence.
Dragon is sitting at the bar??? He's havin a drink??? Oh my god???
Band onstage!!!
You can see how close the audience is in this one!!!
More that are close-ups. My only note here is that the background behind the bar is different! So I assume it changes between characters.
HERE WE ARE. THE SIMS PLUMBOBS. THATS SO SILLY. I'm also really curious about the way Dave would use the context of the Sims in this show. Like I'm predicting it's going to be more than "people playing video games stuck at home" but will also have some comment about socialization and human connection. Since Mia Pak doesn't have one here, I feel like we're likely to see an Octet style form where during each person's individual story, the others act as a side characters.
Oh my gooood he is so unhinged and silly. What is he up to. The intense glare. The plumbob again. My prediction is that he will sort of hang around and antagonize from within each person's story, taking on different roles and acting as an omnipotent force.
ALSO. ELECTRIC GUITAR. Giving Beowulf but also The DJ. I guess that's what I'm leaning towards with his style of antagonism, he's just there to poke fun at them and be mean and have fun. I love him, he looks like he's having so much fun.
I love the boxes but it's also really surreal, because I JUST did a show in October that was also about quarantine and featured tons of cardboard boxes. Seriously. The playwright had decided to clean up the house during quarantine, and put things into boxes to keep them organized. But he fell into depression and for months just lived out of the cardboard boxes he didn't have the energy to unpack. This show was about a depressed woman who couldn't sleep, and was haunted by a Pierrot clown and a puppet. Anyway. I'm getting similar vibes here.
Those are all my thoughts on the photos! But I have a couple more from the updates to the program, which you can access here.
The characters have new names added to them! It's now Susan/Shelob, Sadie/Pookie, and Beckett/Zippy. I wonder what these are about, if they're just other characters they play within the stories. My prediction is though that they're either online names or related to the Sims bit mentioned earlier.
According to the program, there are only THREE musical numbers. Not acts, "musical numbers" that's the exact wording.
First House: Susan
Second House: Sadie
Third House: Beckett
Coda
Dave Dave Dave. Maybe this is a previews thing, and the different names just haven't been solidified? Either way, I support doing whatever he wants from a show standpoint but I'm curious how it would translate to an album. Of course, that's a problem for another day!
Woof. Long one. Thank you for sticking with me here and stay tuned because I am going to be sharing a LOT more about this show as it develops!
I saw three houses by Dave Malloy twice, once on the 5th and last night, and they cut some stuff: (spoilers)
The wolf interlude between second house and third house is gone
some dialogue lines from the third house are gone
The “what big eyes you have” part of the grandparents song at the end was cut from the song
This is really good, just adding a few notes:
The chord at the end of “brain broke too” is C#min7
“I’ve been drifting” should be F#7
chord at the end of “sometimes I feel like this is not my life” is B+
Start of “A phantom pantomime” is B7
“And I don’t know how to get back” is C#halfdim7/G then F#7 (then back to B)
“I never recovered from the crash” is F#7 all the way through
Second verse “Some days” first two lines is C#m/G# and G#7 (or Ab7)
End of “My memories mock me in the darkness” is Eb
“I can’t tell what’s real or not anymore” is G#m, B/F#, E (one measure), E min
Last line starting from “behind” is G#m, B/F#, E, C#halfdim7 Hope this helps!

So apparently, the three houses album is going to have 23 tracks, and according to wikipedia each house has 7 tracks each. That makes 21 tracks plus the coda, leaving us one track short soooo...
bonus track?
none of us are great men, we’re just caught in the wave of history.
