1. What are you listening to right now- "Homos" by The Frogs. Strangely really got into them recently- for those who don't know, they were this comedy rock/indie band and basically their entire discography is devoted to making fun of right-wing homophobia, and Kurt Cobain was a big fan of them.
2. What song(s) make you sad? A fucking lot. Black by Pearl Jam comes to mind, though.
3. What is the most annoying song in the world? Again, I can't pinpoint anything specific, but few songs elicit a reaction as vitriolic as my reaction to Don't Stop Believin'.
4. Your all time favorite band? Smashing Pumpkins, or At The Drive-In.
5. Your newly discovered band? The Frogs, coincidentally enough. Also Flipper.
6. Favorite female voice? Hard as fuck, but I've always really loved Shirley Manson's voice from Garbage.
7. Favorite male voice? Man.... idk. As much of a piece of shit he is, I've always had a huge soft spot for Billy Corgan's vocal style, as divisive as it can be.
8. Music you find yourself listening to the most? Usually 80's alternative/indie, or classic psychedelic music as of recent, but I listen to a lot of shit.
9. What do you listen to hype you up? Anything fast or adrenaline pumping, really. Usually it comes back to metal or hardcore punk though for me.
10. What do you listen to when you want to calm down? Anything relaxing, which usually ends up being shoegaze.
11. Last gig/concert you went to? Weezer and Pixies two years ago
12. Band you find yourself listening to the most right now? I've been listening to a lot of classic metal recently (80's Slayer, Metallica), and The Smashing Pumpkins. Other than that, my music habits as of recently have been insanely diverse. Also been listening to a lot of Flipper recently
13. Most hated band? I don't think I have a lot of hatred towards a specific band, but I have a very, very low tolerance for hair metal.
14. Songs that make you think? "Ever wish the human race didn't exist, and then realize you're one too." from Ever by Flipper is probably the most poignant lyric I can think of off the top of my head.
15. Band you think the world should love as much as you do? At The Drive-In. Peak post-hardcore for me.
16. Coolest music video? Can't think of anything off the top of my head, at least right now.
17. Music video with the most babe watch? Also can't think of anything
18. What do you play/would you play to spice things up in the bedroom?
I'm 19 and still a virginuhh idk. Probably cringy but maybe some of the more, I guess sexy side of classic psychedelic. Think stuff like Sunshine Of Your Love or Time Of The Season, or even In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. If all else fails at least I got classic RCHP or Closer by Nine Inch Nails19. Can you play a musical instrument? I can play guitar and drums, albeit not very well.
20. Have you been in a mosh pit? No, but I would love to.
21. Are you in a band? No, but I would love the musical ability to be in one
22. Ever dated a musician? I'm 19 and I've never had a girlfriend. Wow, my love life is depressing....
23. Do you wish that you were a musician? Yes, a lot, in all honesty. I just don't think I have the talent or even energy, at least right now to get really good at guitar or drums.
24. Best chick band you know of? Again, IDK, but Shonen Knife comes to mind.
25. Last song you heard on the radio? I can't even remember the last time I listened to the radio.
26. What do you think of classical music? Important to music, but 100% not my thing at all.
27. What do you think of country music? I know it's a common target but I fucking hate modern country music, it's honestly unbearable to me. That said, I do like some alternative country- Uncle Tupelo, Wilco, Okkervil River, early My Morning Jacket, etc. And of course cowpunk in regards to Meat Puppets and a few others.
28. What do you think of death metal? I'm interested in getting into it.
29. Last big artist you saw live? Weezer and the Pixies.
30. Are you a groupie? No... sounds fun though.
31. Do you listen to music in foreign languages? Yes, mostly Japanese in all honesty- but I am interested in listening to more foreign music.
32. What famous musician would you like to "spend the night with"? I don't even know where to begin with this one, damn
33. Worst concert moment? I don't have one
34. Funny concert moment? Saw Weird Al on the Mandatory Fun tour, too many to count tbh.
35. Sad concert moment? I don't have one
36. Best local act you can think of? Don't feel like giving my location tbh
37. If you were an instrument, what would you be? No idea honestly
38. Do you listen to the radio? Nope
39. Do you watch music TV? Nope
40. Do you follow music charts, like the top 40? Not really
41. Have you met any famous musicians? I met most of The Black Crowes when I was really young.
42. Are any of your friends/family/etc musicians? Several, I don't know where to begin with that
43. Song that best describes you right now? I'm pretty relaxed rn, idk though
44. Song that describes your life? Can't think of one right now
45. Do you know the names of all the band members of the bands you listen to? Usually. I've always been good with remembering names
46. Does a musician's physical attractiveness play a role in the music you listen to? Nope
47. What famous musician do you want to marry? Man idk
48. Favorite movie soundtrack? I've never really listened to any movie soundtracks
49. Any musician pet hates? Nothing I can think of right now
50. What do your parents listen to? I hate to say this for like the tenth time now, but both my parents were in the music industry and listen to all sorts of stuff so I wouldn't even know where to start on that front
51. What are you listening to right NOW? "Kiss Off" by Violent Femmes
52. Do you wear band shirts? Yeah, fairly often actually
53. Do you cook to music? Sometimes

I love that you’re ending on my mom’s birth year
Mine too coincidentally enough.
Also, I know I could do it on the blog posts (and I probably should but I'm already here), but thoughts on:
2009: Just Dance, Love Story, You Belong With Me, I Love College, 21 Guns
1978: Night Fever, Love Is Like Oxygen, Disco Inferno, Come Sail Away, Copacabana, The Name Of The Game
1988: Never Gonna Give You Up (had to), Pour Some Sugar On Me, Man In The Mirror, Kokomo, Nothin' But A Good Time
It's all good if you don't have specific numbers/rankings for them, but just thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Abracadabra has to be one of the most boring songs I've ever heard. There's literally absolutely no energy in it, even if that creepy ass lyric wasn't in it. I find few songs as hollow as that one is.
-
Yeah that's my RYM. Mostly use it as a means to keep track of my vinyl and also the records I've been listening to, almost like a Letterboxd for the records I've been listening to (I need to actually put in brief thoughts of each album I listen to)

"Transparent Radiation (Flashback)" // Spacemen 3

The Long Ring Long Land Arc of One Piece (aka Davy Back Fight Arc or whatever you want to call it) is one of the most needlessly over-hated shonen arcs of all time. Like, come the fuck on guys. Not every arc has to be Water 7 or even Skypiea involving the Straw Hats taking down a super powerful big bad and otherwise dealing with a lot of deeper subjects (Robin and Franky's past, Usopp's inferiority complex, the corruption of the World Government for Water 7/Enies Lobby). While One Piece uses it's more serious subject matter really well and tells its stories masterfully and what not... this is still the world of One Piece. Despite the harsh realities of the world of One Piece, it's still a world where people who look like this are pretty much among the strongest, most powerful, and tyrannical people in the world. It's a world that ranges from depressing and real to absolutely beyond fantastical and just straight-up fucking bizarre. And few arcs of One Piece capture the show's fun essence as well as the Davy Back Fight Arc. It's literally just a short breather between the panic of Skypiea and the extremely emotionally intense Water 7/Enies Lobby arcs involving the Straw Hats playing rigged games against a hunchbacked Waluigi-look alike with an English voice akin to Doofinshmertz. It's absolutely silly and light hearted and that's what makes it so great. It really takes advantage of the weirder parts of the world, and is just plain fun and is even a great arc to show newcomers, because you really don't need any context and it shows off the traits of the main cast pretty well.

I've got a lot of these, but recently I've started reading a ton about Satanism and while it's not something I personally believe in, there's a lot about it that's really interesting and a lot I agree with. While the alt-right death and destruction kind can kindly fuck off, I like a lot of the stuff about defying authority and how the Golden Rule rewards parasitic behavior, and what not. It's a really strange religion in that its pretty much made out of skepticism of the concept of a god, and while I like that, I'm not too crazy about "being your own god" because it can be easily misinterpreted to lead people on ego trips with the whole worshipping yourself part but I guess that part isn't super mandatory. Still, I prefer to be religiously unaffiliated/agnostic (it kinda fluctuates lmao) but it's certainly an interesting religion.
Here's some more:
-Not endorsing their use and what not but psychedelic drugs. I absolutely love looking at art and just general media influenced by it. I find it absolutely fascinating how real substances can lead the mind to do stuff like that. Also trip simulator videos are a really cool experience. Might do them in the future, but I don't wanna talk about my personal experience with something illegal on a public site like this.
-Pop music. I love videos of people ranking Billboard lists like Todd In The Shadows and also people authoring them like Wumbo. It's just so interesting to me what people latch on to and how much weird ass shit has charted. That whole C.W. McCall thing is fascinating. The dude was a marketing executive who created a character... and then proceeded to come him, release shitty country music and release "Convoy", and then release socially conscious stuff in the late 70's/80's.... and then become the mayor of some town in Colorado 10 years after Convoy charted. What the hell.
-East Asia. No idea why. Countries like China, Cambodia, Vietnam... are just fascinating to me. I have no idea why.

"Thick As A Brick (Pt. 1)" // Jethro Tull
-
We Built This City is far from the worst song ever written. Yeah it sucks loads but ehh on one hand shit like this exists and makes me sick to my stomach from every angle and also this and way more but on the other hand I get why someone would enjoy it. It's basically everything about 80's music Super Saiyan charged shittily into one song and it's corny as hell. Also it's just a pretty innocuous song that I just can't stay angry at it. It's just obnoxiously stupid and depressing considering how far Jefferson Airplane fell considering the psychedelic giants they were, but ehh, at least they admitted they fucked up (or at least Grace Slick did)

Sorry about the absence. Been busy a lot of November with some mental problems and school in general. 2001 should be out by the end of next week.
Yeah this didn't age well.
I'm really sorry, guys. A lot has happened during my first semester and especially around when I made that post just in regards to personal stuff and I really needed my break mostly to myself to recharge and figure a lot of shit out. Anyway I'm posting this to say that I'm about to start working on 2001 in a little bit and it should be out in the next week or so (I go back to class tomorrow so it all depends on my workload)

I've yet to watch the season finale but yeah very meh season with some highlights. If I'm being honest, I kinda divert with you guys on Turd Burglars, which I actually thought was one of the better episodes this season. Thought it felt very much like South Park and it was nice to have an episode mostly focusing on the four boys and honestly I just found it amusing in how stupid it really was. Basic Cable and Band In China were definitely the best the season had to offer though.
Really really disappointed by Board Girls in particular for completely wasting a subplot that could've delved into D&D's resurgence in popularity instead of a subplot with the boys having these girls join their tabletop game club that just doesn't really go anywhere and has nothing to offer besides the boys being constantly upstaged by the girls.

Just got through about the first 8 hours of Shield.
You know what, despite me not being crazy about a lot of the choices, man is this game still as fun as every other mainline Pokemon game that I don't really mind all of these changes (at least for right now). The presentation is actually pretty damn good, the new Pokemon are a ton of fun, but man, hats off to Game Freak for both the gyms and the regions. Absolutely love what they did with the gyms here, especially with how cinematic and grand each gym battle is (despite a lot of them not being super difficult but that's par the course for a Pokemon game), and they knocked it out of the park with the region and the attention to detail going into it. I absolutely fell in love with little nods like "mum" being said instead of Mom and "telly" for TV. It absolutely feels like a Pokemon-ized version of Britain, and I think that's something Game Freak succeeded at with both Gens 6 and 7. Also, thank god for less tutorials, man. Make the whole game feel way more streamlined. I've had an absolute blast with it so far. Don't wanna knock on wood with saying this, but definitely feels nice after the shitstorm since E3.
