i should get paid to think about old musicians its really what im best at
letting a classic folkrock fan dj is always a gamble because they’re either going to play the most beautiful song you’ve ever heard or some shit like your auntie grizelda
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!!!!
These rockstars have the nerv to make seven minute songs🙄 and they're GOOD so you HAVE to listen to them or else Brian May will have to kick down your door
i seem to find pisces aquarius capricorn & jones in the wild a lot and every time i do i have to stop myself from obtaining another copy like i have THREE please don’t look at the adorable picture of micky on the back or you will feel bad and want to take another copy home… dont. turn. it. over.
grammy nominations for record of the year 2025
I don't feel like adding this onto someone else's post, but:
Sometimes I think about how Freddie actually did use the band for Mr. Bad Guy, but just hired other musicians to sound like them for the final cut of those songs, and this upset Brian for decades, if a post on his old Soapbox blog is anything to go by
