#Shit musicians say

[highbythebeach666]

when a man who listens to the smashing pumpkins and nirvana but doesn’t listen to hole tries to tell you that billy corgan/kurt cobain wrote all of hole’s music, even though all three of those bands had different styles and they don’t know the history and courtney’s writing could have NEVER been done by a man.

#has courtney done some fucked up shit? yup #but is she still a talented musician and writer? YUP #you don’t have to discredit women just because you don’t like who she is (esp when your fav male rockstar has prob done the same) #also kurt would hate all you macho men who say that shit #girlblogger #girlblogging #courtney love #hole #hole band #the smashing pumpkins #nirvana

band au rahhhhhhhhhhh

#i wanted to draw the other guardians too but this would be a good start #ok so #tsuna starts his band. yamamoto bass and gokudera keys and tsuna suprisingly drummer and also lead vocal. reborn appears out of nowhere- #being “youre not your full potential so i will drain you till youre like a fish in a dehydrator until you become the best out there.” #thats about it #but i just like how drumming singers are like extremely good music people because drumming is already hard. and singing too??? #absolutely insane i might say. tsuna would do this (bc reborn told him so) #he does not want to be the best but reborn exists in the paro for a reason #reborn is like maybe a famous musician who faked his death then did whatever he wanted to do while he was “alive”. then he got tsuna as his #apprentice and so so. oh yeah also whiplash (the movie) reference bc holy shit its so good. for me at least. and reborn would make tsuna go #that kind of crazy. like training until drenched in sweat from morning to night or whenever hes available. bc he knows he has potential #he just need someone to push him beyond his expected limit #btw 8059 implied #gokudera joined the band first bc yeah then comes yamamoto for fun as he had to rest from playing baseball a bit too enthusiastic #gokudera hated him so much for like being dumb??? (the goofy ah laugh) but then the two dated even before reborn made a move on tsuna #its very funny but they work it out #i was also thinking if the band ever do solos or do something not as the whole band 8059 will have their own album. itll be great #for genre im not sure?? lets just say alt rock electrojazz???? #no idea but maybe ill make a playlist. maybe #sawada tsunayoshi #reborn #yamamoto takeshi #gokudera hayato #8059 #r27

Faith No More, April 1995 [X/X/X]

#faith no more #music #musicians #90s #dean menta #mike patton #billy gould #roddy bottum #mike bordin #1995 #soupy's #pics #I cannot believe I found a more pics from this shoot that took some excavating. some puts it lightly!!! #and there's a dog ‼️ #one thing about me is I will scroll and use key words for shit. ian windwood's name was the last 'wait. there's more' #it says pic: fat boy in the bottom right corner so um © fat boy I guess #the third link gives you all the text from the magazine #and I gotta say what a wonderful use of the color green like. where are they

i fundamentally think that it’s funnier when taylor swift haters are informed about the things she’s doing. like there’s making fun of a popular artist which is a time honored tradition, and plenty of legitimate critiques of her as a public figure and the private jet and all that. but then you get people making up fake lyrics when the real ones are much funnier. i know in my heart of hearts that if the right person got a hold of the song evermore which has the lyric “motion capture put me in a bad light” which is undoubtedly a reference to her role in cats 2019 the internet would never be the same

#waveridden.txt #swiftie tag #like we all know i am a swiftie. but girl cmon #generally i believe that taking her lyrics out of context is kind of a disservice to her as a musician i think she is good at whole songs #where it’s not about the melody or the words it’s about the finished product #but every now and again she says shit like ‘don’t put me in the basement when i want the penthouse of your heart’ #and it’s like no sorry actually you can’t save that one

[logosbot-tm]

Not me talking so much about mcr that my friends actually end up listening to their music, whilst going "I thought it was going to be cringe, but they're actually good musicians."

And I'm just like, "Yes!!! I've been saying that for a few years now!!!!!!!!!"

#mcr #my chemical romance #my chemical fucking romance #mychem #mcrblr #ive been saying that they're good musicians for so long jfc #i also explained some shit about tbp and the response i got was “oh! wait that's why it's like that? huh that somehow made it less cringe” #mcr 👍

Music I think Roy Kent likes and why

Madonna. In season 3, episode 3, Roy said, "[Pre-Madonna] means before Madonna, female vocalists didn't have to work that hard." This implies a great respect for Madonna and her craft. Also, it's an example of a very specific kind of queer guy misogyny that I find very humorous and implicative (of him being queer).

The Sex Pistols (and other punk rock). Two of their songs are in the Ted Lasso soundtrack. One of them specifically plays when Roy is about to do some pundit work for the first time. I think it's meant to be his hype up music. They're also, of course, anti-fascist and anti-monarchy, which I think Roy would vibe with. He's giving punk.

The music of the Muppets. Canonically (not that I necessarily consider this kind of thing canon, lol) a Muppets fan, I think he'd love the soundtracks to the movies, as well as the numbers they do on the original show.

Rap; Salt-n-Pepa, Queen Latifah, and Beyoncé. I just think he would like them. In season 1, episode 6, Keeley mentions that he has rapped, implying at least some interest in the genre.

Leonard Cohen. I think Roy's Jewish, and he's a broody, sensual bitch. It adds up perfectly. Sidenote: while "She's a Rainbow" by the Rolling Stones was a great choice for the song he runs home to football to, I think Cohen's "Ain't No Cure for Love" would've fucking slayyyed..."I loved you for a long, long time / I know this love is real / It don't matter how it all went wrong / That don't change the way I feel / And I can't believe that time is gonna heal / This wound that I'm speaking of" "I've got you like a habit / And I'll never get enough" "I don't need to be forgiven / For loving you so much"

Klezmer. Again, if Roy is Jewish, and we know he loves and misses his grandad...it's simple. He HAS a record player and a dope sound system, and on his shelves there ARE old klezmer records that he remembers dancing around to with his grandad in their old flat.

Amy Winehouse. Again, if Roy is Jewish, and we know he is broody and bitchy, it is a given. "Rehab" is his anthem when his knee gets bad and he is reluctant to treat it.

Disco; Donna Summer and Jessie Ware. It's just great workout music, and it slays, and if he's queer, well, yes, of course he likes disco.

Pop rock; Elton John and Queen. If he's queer...it's a given. I think he particularly likes "I Think I'm Going to Kill Myself" and "Rocket Man", as he is suicidal (I can't find the interview where Goldstein said this) (it's just Word of God anyway), and the most rocket man motherfucker ever.

The music of the people he loves; Led Zeppelin, Cream, Tina Turner, and Stevie Nicks. Phoebe, Keeley, and Jamie like these musicians. He's a caring uncle, boyfriend, and friend. He is listening and learning. Also, I think Phoebe would be into some weird stuff, like outsider music - maybe some Tiny Tim. I think Roy would also enjoy the music of other friends, from plenty of other genres.

#also. i rly disagree w the term outsider music but it gets the point across so yknow. #also i have this hc that he plays the drums bc his sister wanted to play music at some point and he was like ok i will play toys w u fine. #and she plays guitar :) #my posts #ted lasso #i also think he is maybe one of those celebrities who is multidisciplinary. so yes he has released a few eps. under a pseudonym ofc #then again i kinda think he's one of those guys who is really good at one thing and THINKS they suck at everything else. so like he happens #to play music around people every once in a while and they're like whatttt u r amazing? and he's like shut up i'm garbage. yeah #I ALSO THINK ROY IS RLY INTO BASEBALL. why? um. if u ask him he'll say some shit like 'i'm a fucking athlete ofc i follow other sports. no #it's not weird that it's not a very british thing. get the fuck out of my face.' the real answer is he watch a league of their own as a kid #purely for madonna and a special interest was born #inspired #roy kent #also! jamie is a HUGE music snob. i just know this to be true #like. the only musicians we've heard him mention (i think) are tina turner and stevie nicks. whenever roy grabs the aux and bumps madonna o #any music from this century he resists the urge to reach over and strangle him

[galwithalibrarycard]

When I say I never listen to music this is exactly what I mean: I was today years old when I listened to “Hozier” (self-titled, 2014) for the first time. It is 2023.

#why did no one TELL ME #this is exactly my shit the beautiful folksy sound the deep sadness the needing a literature degree to get the references #AND he’s IRISH #this is a tall dark haired hot Irish musician he could not be more up my alley if he tried #(I think the Brits or whoever says ‘up my street’ instead of ‘alley’ are correct about that one by the way) #his lyrics have BEEN fanfiction titles #i know you all knew about this #WHERE WAS I #why was I not TOLD #excuse me I need every album now thank you #hozier #it has been an AFTERNOON friends

i think my absolute favorite thing about semi is how once it came out that he became a musician everyone fucking RAN with it

#it's the FUNNIEST shit i've ever seen #musician semi has everyone in a chokehold and i am in full support of it #yeah yeah everyone was making semi posts i wanted in too #i SHOULD post more about him tbh i love him a whole lot #semi eita #haikyuu #haikyuu!! #sou says stuff

[wildflowercryptid]

potentially batshit headcanon, but i think it'd be funny if these two were related somehow.

#i'm inclined to say they're cousins but it'd also be interesting if they were siblings ngl #gustafa hasn't really brought up his own upbringing so far in my playthrough so i'm running hogwild w/ his backstory #i hc that gustafa's parents were classical musicians and pretty strict (very much the types to force what they think is best on their kids) #he felt like the environment was too stifling not only for his music but also his spirit so he left home as soon as he could #he's still proud about his family's history as musicians but definitely doesn't want to raise his kids like his parents raised him #so that's why he's pretty laid back when it comes to raising bea and encourages whatever she loves doing no matter what #wait now that i think about it carter organizes the music festival in mineral town doesn't he? #shit i'm connecting the dots #carter would probably be older than gustafa so i guess he left home as soon as possible too #he just went the route of joining the clergy to get out of town rather than becoming a hippie like gus #imagine going to the next town over to check out their music festival only to be reunited w/ your estranged older bro >>> #you haven't spoken to in like 10+ years #i feel like they'd be okay terms tho they'd definitely bond over how shitty their parents were #okay i'm having fun w/ this headcanon i'm gonna keep it i think #story of seasons #bokujou monogatari #a wonderful life #friends of mineral town #sos awl #sos fomt #sos gustafa #gustafa (awl) #sos carter #carter (fomt) #hc : (sos) awl / fomt #mj.txt

I'm gonna let yall in on some peak advice.

This is TUMBLR DOT COM. Don't take the stuff you see seriously here. Thirst over (age appropriate) people, be weird and horny on main, who gives a shit?

And most importantly: if you see something you don't like: block, report, and move on with your day because at the end of the day, if you can log off and it's not effecting your irl, then it doesn't matter.

#also ps: yes that well known musician DOES know people thirst over them #yes they do know fanfic exists and guess what!!! they would say something if they hated it #most of them are smart enough to understand fanfic isnt for them and to stay tf off tumblr #tumblr is the dumbest site if you are taking things to heart and getting mad at other people here #then you are stressing for no reason #sincerely someone whos had multiple conversations with people in the industry about this and a variety of other shit #sincerely someone with friends in the industry

yesterday i saw a person on twitter saying that they don’t consider musicians “artists” because they have big team being them who does the production of everything and etc and it’s so insane how… there’s still this misconception that if you are a musician and you put out music you must be rich which… very untrue! also small musicians don’t have a team behind them to make their music they usually do everything themselves and even if an artists is big most of the time they also contribute to their art by writing the lyrics and coming up with the idea of the song itself anyways!! i would even say that even if a person doesn’t necessarily write their music they still interpret the songs in their own way especially when they sing on stage and being able to do that is also being an artist! what i am trying to say is being a musician is definitely a way to be an artist no matter how successful, rich or not you are to have certain things!

#it’s so obvious to me when people say things like this #they don’t actually know what is it like to do music #or try to start being a musician #like not everyone has the same resources as billionaire musicians #but they still do music #big artists still participate in making of their songs #even if they have more resources #but in this industry having tight nit connections with people is important #i understand that the average music listener sometimes doesn’t know these things #but it’s so sad that these things are said i’m in constant awe #of how people say things they don’t know shit about #tris.txt

I just finished your New Wave fic. I’m convinced everything your write is gold. I loved your TMA fics, with the most heartbreaking demon AU imaginable and the hilarity of Fahrenheit 101. I loved your moon knight fics, starting with Steven talking to animals on the reg at work to the system growing closer with a focus on Jake, i- there’s- it’s sooo much packed into it. When I’m on burnout, of art or writing (maybe life in general at times) I revisit your work and am thrown back into a creative headspace.

You are my favorite writer, you cram so much meaning and thought into your work and it shows. The characters are dumbasses and say the most ridiculous shit and turn around the next chapter and say the most thought provoking thing, and I don’t get whiplash from it because these characters just work! They just do, and I… am very much off track!

Anyways I just got into Batman and reading your fic is fueling that flame! I can’t wait to see what you have in store next, and I shall now stalk your blog for writing tips! I hope you have a nice day broski 💙

Thank you!! This is so sweet thank you so much! This ask is so nice!

Trust me, if there's meaning then it's because I get obsessive over these fics and I massively overthink them. I honestly wish I was better at making simpler, more elegant stories. I feel like nothing I do is truly going to be good until I can find that simplicity.

"Dipshit who says stupid stuff and then turns around and spouts ridiculous philosophy" is just how I talk. But I habitually approach my life from a standpoint of finding humor in everything, if only to soften the blow. I was once told that it's really hard to tell when I'm joking, because everything I say is always half-joking and always half-serious. I feel like that's pretty evident from my narration too...

As for writing advice...um, I was just speaking about this with somebody. When you're plotting a story, the first thing I like to figure out is what I'm trying to say. Everything else should be built around that. The joy of writing is that I think we all have something we want to say, or something we want people to know, or that we have an aspect of ourselves and our lives that we want to express. Most of the time, trying to convey those things verbally just results in a frustrating approximation of your true feelings. I find that when I manage a successful story, the depth and scale of what I'm trying to impart is fully understood and felt. It's rewarding. I think if people aren't understood on some level, by somebody, they kind of die.

Thanks for the sweet ask!!

#dungeon meshi is the peak of storytelling and im not joking #my asks #my writing #(my writing tag is a good place to find my dumb essays!) #i dont consider myself a creative and i barely consider myself a writer #so i professionally have no fucking opinions on art or whatever #also im not sure you can call what i do art in like any meaningful way #but i know a lot of musicians and everything #and so much art is just a person trying to convey something that can't be conveyed through words alone #so much stuff is lost in translation between our brains and our mouths - its like translating english to a foreign language #the meaning can be conveyed but inherently it'll never capture the original meaning exactly in every way #i think art can help you achieve a more perfect translation more than anything else can #you just have to feel like that poor schmuck in j alfred prufrock all the time #'that's not what i meant at all; that is not it - not at all' #JASLKDF sorry for the pretentious tags and also pretentious essay #all i do is write fanfic i dont know shit about this tbh #i just think that idk. there's things in this world that only we know #things that only we can say or understand #and sometimes we have to say them ourselves in our own words #sometimes ppl focus too hard on making their writing sound pretty or correct or 'good' #and they dont focus as much on how pretty writing is a tool to say what youre trying to say more effectively #idk! im sorry for quoting ts eliot some things can't be forgiven etc

worship the music, not the man

it's his turn for worshipping

let him kneel before the bed

watch him bow his head

and pray you sing for him

Why are you so angry all the time? Why do you lock yourself away from the world? Why are you not living your life they ask?

I answer with my own set of questions. How can I live in a body that doesn’t work? In a house divided? In a mind that constantly races? How can I go out and try to make a living when I know off the back of my labor my money goes to funding genocide? How can I think positively and go out and have fun when children are being gun downed for going to school, the movies, the mall? Is this survivor’s guilt? It can’t be. I don’t feel guilty for surviving. I feel rage and sorrow that I have to survive. I should be living. We should be living. One shouldn’t have to struggle to eat, drink, and have basic healthcare and rights.

#We can’t right all the wrongs in this world they say #People will always be doomed to repeat history they say #But we all have the power to choose. One person can’t change the world on their own #but one person can start a chain reaction! #And who we choose to support and uplift will be our demise or salvation #*steps off soapbox* #ironically hate religion so much but this sounds very pastoral #once again baffled by the stupidity and cruelty of humanity #us politics #what a country #free Palestine #free Congo #free Haiti #free everyone from their colonizers and oppressive regimes #this post won’t do anything but pls what you buy #the films you watch the musicians you support it all literally adds up #religion is shit ppl in charge are shit I’m never leaving my room again #anygays… #ok to rb

Katya, giggling: What did you say, Luz?

Luz: I said 'isn't this the music from FNAF?'

Hunter: Huh?

Luz: You know, Five Nights At Freddy's. The video game. Isn't this the music from that?

Katya: *wheeze*

Eda, patting a distraught Raine on the head: It's ok, sweetie.
