P1nball-c0la - The Strange Boy From 1982

Genuinely love that my posts swing wildly from 100+ notes to like four. What pleases you Tumblr. What makes you tick. What are the kids into these days

glad that im not popular enough to have an evil shadow version of my blog that exists just to make contradictions on my posts

Reblog to give the person you reblogged from the ability to finish their WIPs

Why is a blue glowing circle/ring the universal symbol for artificial intelligence? This is such a reoccurring symbol with no explanation whatsoever

I don't know much about The Beatles and I don't know everything about The Monkees but I do know that while some fundamentals are the same for the two these bands had very different sounds from one another even when they were doing similar things

I've heard Pieces, Aquarius, Capricorn, & Jones LTD get compared to something like Magical Mystery Tour, and while yeah, there's some small similarities, I feel like The Monkees were sort of making their own stuff by that point and straying away from The Monkees+More of The Monkees and with that, they were drifting further from that "American Beatles" image (and, of course, making stuff dissimilar to The Beatles), and The Beatles were making the image a lot of people now associate with them (that you should be high as a kite to enjoy their music. Which. I've yet to try that). Even if you look at the early days of The Beatles/The Monkees, The Monkees were very much their own thing, even as a "manufactured image", they're not super Beatlesesque, they just sound like a good late 60s classic rock band.

Honestly one of the only similarities I can think of off the top of my head between the two (aside from like. Basic instruments) is the fact both bands would wear Chelsea boots. And that was extremely common in their kind of scene so like. Doesn't even matter. Also drugs but again common.

Tldr: The Monkees and The Beatles made very different music and it's weird to me that The Monkees are still (to some) considered "just Beatles rip-offs"

Edit: To clarify, I know The Monkees were made because of The Beatles. I'm not saying people compared the two with little reasoning other than the fact they were both popular 60s bands.

ppl who celebrate fictional character birthdays are annoying pass it on

Me and the boys in the homoerotic panic bullet

Listening to the Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum cassette is all fine and dandy until you get to the end of Hidden In The Sand and the prolonged silence lets you feel safe and then Mucka Blucka catches you like a baseball to the teeth

Now if I can just treat this as a college to-do list

These are all so good. This is what the internet is for.

So my friend and I are watching Be More Chill (god bless YouTube bootlegs) and boy howdy this is certainly a good show this is apparently like 2 hours so I probably should have gotten popcorn or something

Gonna be nice to listen to 'Michael In The Bathroom' with full context
