And I mean, like, really REALLY good at pinball.
Practically a wizard
That would sound good in the name of a movie
We’re going with “Tommy.”
There has to be a twist.
He’s not!
Iron Maiden: here’s a song about the plot of the last movie/tv show/book Bruce dickenson consumed
Not a prisoneeeeer, I’m a free maaaaan
A lot of these movies have to be documentaries too.
I love Zep, but it’s amusing know somebody thinks they’re possibly philosophical romantics.
Half of their music was straight up stolen blues songs.
And stolen folk revival (Black Mountain Side), stolen other rock songs (Stairway). After I started getting more into British Isles folk and more deep cut rock, I had to grieve my belief that Zep were profound innovators. But still, they were wizard image makers, amazing musicians, and great curators.
There’s only so many chord progressions available. They’ve all been done. Their version of When the Levee Breaks is fucking solid, man. They made some magic. All current music is built on top of the foundation laid by all previous music, and it basically always has been.
Fripp and Eno would like a word with you. Granted, that shit was unlistenable.
I was about to go on a mild tirade about King Crimson, while a bit busy, still being music that followed the norms well enough, when I realized I have never listened to the project you are referring to. In fact I looked up Brian Eno, because I recognize his name, but I can’t tell you that I recognized any of what he’s credited with on Wiki. I guess I have a rabbit hole to fall down today.
King Crimson is closer to The Backstreet Boys than it is to Fripp and Eno.
Well fuck, that’s certainly a statement. Sounds like I’m in for a treat. I’m guessing I shouldn’t play it on the big speakers while my wife is home.
You most likely have heard something produced by Brian Eno.
You have absolutely heard many things that would not exist without him.
That makes sense. Kinda like Bill Laswell, like yeah he made a good bit of stuff, but produced like a ton of shit. I’m excited to have something unexpected to dig on today.
You go! Stand by your man.
British Isles
Deprecated term, pleased don’t use.
UK and Irish is fine. Even just British is fine if you collectively mean to include Irish bands based in and primarily touring the UK.
Dares you to call Kneecap British to their faces.
Not sure why would take something where I’m talking about a music scene and apply it to an individual band, but sure.
There are bands that only ever sell or perform in Ireland. That is the Irish music scene. Just like there are footballers that play in Ireland, and films made in Ireland. And there is the British music scene, which includes Irish people selling there, performing there. And a British football system, and a British film market. But you wouldn’t call individuals or bands from Ireland performing there British, any more than you’d correctly call Roy Keane or Cillian Murphy British.
Double dares you.
I mean, imitating sex noises is so romantic, right?
I thought that was just him about to sneeze
So many of their songs are about abandoning romantic partners. Kinda gross.
they say write what you know
They were massive nerds and I love them for it.
The Beatles: What if I was a walrus?

Tusk: what if a movie was based around a beatles song?
*bleating wife intensifies*
We would shout and swim about The coral that lies beneath the waves
Metallica: how much money can be squeezed out of the keys of Em and Am?
MONEY GOOD!!!
all suspects are… fucking assholes

Tommy wasn’t disabled, he was traumatised by seeing his parents have sex.
