That moment when Wei Wuxian crashes the Jin banquet to find the Wens except “Anarchy in the UK” is playing. The words “UK” and are replaced with a badly dubbed google translate voice saying “Jinlintai”.
The battle at Nighless City where Wei Wuxian dies but the Clash version of “I fought the law” is playing.
The scene where Wei Wuxian comes back to life but “It’s a long way back” by the Ramones is playing. The word “phone” is dubbed over with “blood circle”, and “Germany” is replaced with “existence”.

“I’ve always admired people with really strong presences and felt that caring about the visual component of what you do is not intrinsically superficial or vain.” ~ Dee Dee Ramone
Joey Ramone
Quote of the Day: October 28, 2020
“When I was hitching, I’d be completely decked out. I used to wear this custom-made black jumpsuit, these, like, pink, knee-high platform boots, all kinds of rhinestones, lots of dangling belts and gloves.” ~ Joey Ramone
Dee Dee Ramone
Quote of the Day: October 22, 2020
“The distance thing is partially due to the fact that I’m pretty shy and I’ve struggled with extreme stage fright in the past. So I just have to go onstage in a different head space so I’m not as self-aware.” ~ Dee Dee Ramone
“Our first shows were at CBGB’s on August 16 and 17, 1974. It was just an old, dumpy little bar on the Bowery, as everyone knows. Hilly Kristal and his wife ran the place, and they had nothing going on there besides winos, so they started letting these new bands play there, like Television and Patti Smith’s band. Dee Dee had heard about it, and so we decided to give it a try. It was like a practice in front of ten people. We had gotten a lot better by then, and we had more songs. At that point, we were still dressed in partial glitter because the Dolls were still the big thing in New York. I had these silver lamé pants made of Mylar and these black spandex pants I’d wear too. I was the only one with a real Perfecto leather jacket—what the Ramones would later be identified with—which I had been wearing for seven years already.” (extract from Commando Johnny Ramone’sbio).
