Miscellaneous Little Thoughts

Wow, That Was Long. And I’m Gay

Introduction Below Cut

Well, here it is.

To say that I’m excited to finally compile all of this information together into one place would be an understatement… I’ve superseded excitement and now I’m just sitting here with copious amounts of Dr Pepper and Alan’s Metropolitan Man blaring in my ears, surrounded by all of my wonderful Animals merch.

Anyway, what is this? Well, it’s exactly what it says on the tin: a somewhat comprehensive look at Alan Price and Eric Burdon’s relationship. They’re members of an English rock band that emerged from Newcastle in the 60’s - the Animals - with Alan playing the keyboard for the group and Eric supplying the lead vocals. And their relationship… Well, it’s something alright.

And, in my humble opinion, it’s wildly misinterpreted.

Disappointingly, most information about the Animals shared nowadays are either think-pieces about their most well-known song, “House of the Rising Sun”, or about how much of an absolute fractured mess the group turned out to be. Poor management, several break-ups and reunions and iterations… and, of course, the well-known fact that Alan claimed all of the royalties for “House of the Rising Sun” and has allegedly never shared the money with any of his old bandmates, sowing even more tension between all of the members.

Amongst all of this tension are Alan and Eric themselves. Eric Burdon, the charismatic face of the group and its leader throughout each of its iterations, and Alan Price, the moody ex-keyboardist, who seemingly took the money and ran, forging his own path and solo career. Surely, these two must hate each other... shouldn’t they? After everything Alan did, the circumstances that forcefully bound them together as performers and songwriters for a time, and how diametrically opposed they seemed to be in personality; they were practically in their divorce arc before things even started… right?

…No. Not at all.

Set aside Eric’s passive-aggressive, yet relatively tame, comments made over the past few years. Set aside Alan’s staunch refusal to talk about things in detail anymore. Set aside the other Animals’ odd takes on the nature of their relationship, usually colored in such a way to make Alan out to be a despicable person.

Because I’d like to talk about some of the things Alan and Eric have done with and for one another that you might not have known.

Midnight's favorite song is "The Wind Can Be Still", from Stardew Valley.

@sonic-fankid-showdown

Despite now having a proper voice chip, Neo still makes liberal use of xer old sound chip. Midnight has picked up an appreciation for synths and chiptune because of it.

They also prefer calm music, though usually with at least a tinge of emotion.

Some others they like are "Far" from Minecraft and "It's Raining Somewhere Else" from Undertale.

They also love things like the Marble Machine (by Wintergatan), Animusic, or Noteblock song videos. Watching these big elaborate machines that make the music.

On another note, they prefer cooler weather. Between how powerful their parts are and their Chaos Energy intake, they tend to run hot. It's nice when the external environment can counteract that.
