ive also come to the conclusion that "laziness" is probably the stupidest, most hurtful, least useful, deliberately cruel concept in the world
Monkees fandom can get really weird because there’s no clear way to draw the line between the real people and the fictional characters they played on tv. If only someone had made an experimental film starring the Monkees about this very problem.
Gorillaz Music is sooo good and their mythos behind each phase is soo messed up i love it
It makes me happy when they listen
let’s have a moment of silence for all the concerts we missed because we became a fan too late
Just finished hamlet & had to share THIS
[AFTER REVEALING VERY TELLING PERSONAL INFO] But don’t read into that. let’s move along
You know shit is rough when you start maladaptive daydreaming more again
I just have to say it's always funny to me from the vantage point of being a fan of classical music and classic rock (i.e. old or dead white men up the wazoo) how much the pop girlie fandom just can't acknowledge that their favorite singer has any faults. You can believe Chappell Roan's music is fun, her persona is cool, even believe it's all revolutionary (I don't agree with this personally but I get it from coming from baby queers, I get what she means to them, and also I do think someone who makes drag such a big part of her persona is a big deal given The Times We Are Living In Right Now)... you can believe something I would agree with, that she's a good songwriter and one who is particularly good at translating her experiences as a lesbian into accessible top-40 pop... you can believe this and also believe she's kind of an ignorant dummy about electoral politics. It's true of a lot of talented people! It's true of a lot of people who are informed and smart about other things! But it's also like, the absolute least fault to have to admit about a pop musician you like? I'm just saying you guys would not survive being a fan of The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Mozart - and those are just mainstream musical titans, not even more obscure ones - for more than five minutes!!!!
they should make a flavor of chips called "shock collar" where it's just dill pickle, salt n vinegar, and salt and pepper chips mixed together but they all have like 2x the flavor dust as chips regularly do. i need flavor like i'm drinking the pickle jar after burning the shit out of my mouth on some hot soup
Its a little surface level but they have a lot of specific things in common

It is crazy that sm of post 1966 Beatles is Paul being like guys, let’s get so weird with it. How about a movie where there is no plot. It’ll just be weird as fuck. And really gay. There are wizards and animals. Or hmm what about an album with um like a theme. Maybe we won’t even be us anymore? Or we do one like an opera. (Can rock albums have reprises?) I’m writing a song about a serial killer. It will take days to perfect and you’re all invited. by force
George is meanwhile like idk I wrote some stuff about my life and experiences… is that crazy or can it also exist beside the ragtime and Western gunslinger ballads and free-verse beat triptychs
Ringo is like fuck it I quit the band all this artsy gay shit is sickening……nah I’m just kiddin, hehe. I’m into it :) but I will be drinking
And John is like you guys I have written several songs about hating myself and my life. No I will not challenge Paul on the weird shit because 1) well just look at him and 2) I have actually always wanted to be really weird in front of people. In fact I’m having a listening party for some porn I recorded and you are all invited. by force
Classic Rock fandom be dancing like
The best part of the Gorillaz fandom is that even though one of them is literally a full blown satanist and all of them are in a very questionable cult, none of it has the slightest bit of logic, no one questions it.
A pound of smoked salmon for the lady. STAT

“They were clearly soulmates: they’d often sit together, giggling”
-Jim Hutton (about Freddie and Roger)
per my last repost…i think i need to read infinite tuesday
Mike Nesmith: Had an affair, regrets it immediately, spends time trying to fix it before moving on to save heartache, goes on a personal growth journey for years, tells the story honestly, keeps in contact with her the rest of her love and never stopped loving her even after moving on. Literally only thing he’s ever done and did everything to make up for it he could. Loved by most people who knew him.
People: Oh he’s so evil, rot in hell, such an evil man.😡
Peter Tork: Beat his wife over some dishes, went to prison for five years, treated women like objects and prizes, thought his way was the only way and told everyone else to jump in a lake, was fired by Micky and Davy from a tour because he was terrible to be around, and said the most uncalled for and horrid shit about anyone he possibly could whenever he wanted because he pretty much didn’t care about anyone else that wasn’t like him. Disliked by most people who knew him.
People: Aw Peter, sweet baby, never done anything wrong in his life, little angel.🥰
I gotta laugh whenever people say it’s sweet Mike that went to hell.🤣We all know who’s actually down there.
70s glam rock micky dolenz, you will always be famous
The song’s “musical” bridge section was performed entirely by Mercury and Taylor using their voices alone, with Taylor at one point hitting the highest note on the whole album a C6. Mercury imitates woodwind instruments including a clarinet. Taylor voices mainly brass instruments such as tubas and trumpets, and even a kazoo. The tap dance segment is also “performed” by Mercury and Taylor on the mixing desk with thimbles on their fingers. Freddie (about Seaside Rendezvouz) “Another of my songs, Seaside Rendezvous, has a 1920’s feel to it and Roger Taylor does a tuba and clarinet on it vocally, if you see what I mean. I’m going to make him tap dance too, I’ll have to buy him some Ginger Rogers tap shoes.”
