Dear listener, I tried listening to six full hours of mainstream radio this week again. I tried, oh, sweet merciful Jesus, I tried. Lo, I have at this point all but confirmed that modern radio is a steaming pool of liquid dogshit. Given a second appraisal, it’s dogshit with a candy-coated hardshell for ease of ingestion! The disheartening repetition, the complete lack of cutting-edge creativity and genuine emotion, ten to twenty ass-ramming commercials in a row only to come back to the feckless frenzy of fail that comprises the vast, vast majority of modern music? It was all terribly grating, and somehow the music was even worse. As soon as I couldn’t take a millisecond more of the doldrums of modern radio, I went to YouTube and listened to two straight and comparatively blissful hours of immortal work by Antonio Vivaldi. So, get into the time machine again with me dear listener, and set course for the early 1700’s, a time when radio didn't exist! The social standards might not have been top-notch, but the powdered wigs were undeniably gorgeous, and the quality of the music… to die for!!!

As anyone who comes from a musical family has likely experienced, Vivaldi had the principles of composition fused to his DNA, and perhaps even down to the subatomic level with the help of his father. Having trained for priesthood in his early years, Vivaldi instead gradually gravitated toward a now celebrated career in music. Becoming an elite level violinist under the tutelage of his father Giovanni Battista, whom he regularly toured Venice and played duelling violins with, this legend of orchestra developed an immense capacity for transforming the basics of music into something so immensely interwoven and sublime that very few can or will ever dare so much as approach the legitimate majesty of his body of orchestral work. Known as something of an Italian religious dogmatist, his calling to the church and desire to be a priest secured him the nickname ‘Il Prete Rosso’ (The Red Priest) because he was a ginger, or in modern politically correct parlance… a natural red head. During a three-decade long gig serving as Master of Violin at an historical Vincentian orphanage, Ospedale della Pietà, Vivaldi managed to gather inspiration and organize his most emotionally powerful compositions. I could probably add a lot of unnecessary details here, but his greatest and most everlasting works are part of his ‘The Four Seasons’, a set of four violin concertos that are meant to express nearly the precise sensations and emotions of summer, winter, autumn, and spring. If you smash play on the above track you will be treated to Presto (from the Summer section), a song you probably know or have heard before. Presto means ‘quickly’ in Italian and is performed at one of the quickest speeds a human can possibly play music (second only to prestissimo speed, I think). Vivaldi also had a strange disease throughout all his life which many historians suspect might have been severe asthma. And with his penchant for taking numerous ‘leaves of absences’ to tour the world and develop an international reputation, this clearly mega-talented rockstar of yester-century ended up spending all the money he earned during his lifetime. Sadly, after approaching the end of his life and skidding through a decade’s worth of career decline, all accounts show that he died completely broke, having spent what little money he had left on multiple assistants that circumnavigated him through his now dire and at the time completely untreatable health issues. Vivaldi isn’t my personal favorite composer of all-time, I’ll leave that distinction to Bach (who himself was inspired by Vivaldi). But his works live on to this very day because he accomplished exactly what he strove to do; embody the excellence of execution in his craft to produce works that bring us together as human beings and sometimes inspire a rare spark of imagination to propel us to create the very best work we can possibly bring forth.

Right above this paragraph is a live variation of The Four Seasons, a classic musical work of art and transcendent beauty that I cannot recommend highly enough. Vivaldi sure did one thing that modern, corporately funded, concentrated and even desperate bands just can’t… and that is actually innovate. He had immense natural technical skills, had them brought to bloom by his family and his own efforts, and he ended up creating over 500 instrumental and choral works, plus about 40 operas. Have *you* created 500 instrumental and choral works and 40 operas!? Didn’t think so. So, get to work on that! And join me next time for some jaunty Brahms.

Ryan Gosling - I'm Just Ken 2023

"I'm Just Ken" is a song performed by Canadian actor Ryan Gosling for the 2023 film Barbie. It was written and produced by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt and appears on the soundtrack album Barbie the Album. After Gosling recorded his vocals, Ronson sent the track to Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash, who found it "cool" and agreed to play guitar on the song. Guitarist Wolfgang Van Halen and Foo Fighters drummer Josh Freese also played on the track.

It won Best Song at the 29th Critics' Choice Awards and was nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards and Best Original Song at the 96th Academy Awards.

Gosling performed the song live at the 96th Academy Awards on March 10, 2024. The performance paid homage to the "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" sequence from the 1953 film adaptation of the stage musical Gentlemen Prefer Blondes starring Marilyn Monroe. Gosling was joined by Ronson on bass, Wyatt on piano, and Wolfgang Van Halen and Slash on guitar, as well as his Barbie co-stars Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa, Kingsley Ben-Adir, and Scott Evans. The performance was choreographed by Mandy Moore, who also choreographed Gosling in La La Land.

does anyone remember who in the bad kids told the others about what they saw in the nightmare forest? i think fabian did and i'm almost certain riz didn't but they keep (accidentally?) triggering each others' forest traumas and it seems like A Thing.

fabian flirted with a mirror right next to riz and everyone teased him about kalina being his girlfriend, riz suggested gorgug answer the riddle for all of them under threat of being killed and eaten by a big animal, fig created a sexy rat for when fabian was talking to spot. is this anything.

#honourable mention adaine using a ladle again #it's not relevant but it nourished me #i don't want to rewatch the sophomore year finale because zoom audio scratches my brain in a bad way #but this is a fun little running theme so if any friendly tumblr people know that'd be really hot of them #dimension 20 #fantasy high #fantasy high junior year #fhjy #d20 #fhjy spoilers #fantasy high junior year spoilers #d20 fhsy #fantasy high sophomore year

Dear listener, we are nearly three months into a necromantic mass musical summoning event on my page. For nearly 90 days, I’ve been covering recently deceased musical legends as well as digging deep for the very elite of dead bands. I’m gonna wrap the theme up after my next musical post, but this week let’s examine a band that has virtually no history because it folded like an accordion right out of the birth canal. Does everybody remember 90’s alternative rock!? I know, a throwback, right? If you’re not old enough to remember what the musical market was like back then; alternative rock had spent the 80’s largely underground and was popularized in the 90’s by bands like Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins and Soundgarden. At least initially, this type of rock was supposed to be an ‘alternative’ to mainstream radio rock. Unfortunately, in just a few short years, alt-rock BECAME mainstream radio rock. Everybody wanted to be in an alt-rock band and as a result the market became bloated and flabby with 3 to 4 member acts, and the music itself became diluted and consumer-focused. Alternative rock DID NOT age well, folks, and neither did Drill. This band didn’t just shit the bed upon their arrival on the music scene, they managed to shit every bed in a ten-block radius and called it quits immediately thereafter. They created zero hits, they never went on tour, they didn’t really contribute anything particularly substantial to music in general, and their album sold like bottled colon cancer. Further, they never really had a chance in hell at being successful because they were a newer act trying to muscle their way into the oversized alt-rock market which was largely spoken for. And that’s a shame, because this band had some demonstrably talented members like impossibly hot and gifted lead vocalist and future KMFDM alum Lucia Cifarelli, as well as Black Label Society’s original bassist John DeServio. Although their first and only album wasn’t exactly the greatest-of-all-time, they at least tried to hunker down and create something that sounded different from their contemporaries. When their self-titled album got panned into the 9th dimension by critics at the time, Drill instantly went out like a puff of cigar smoke in a thunderstorm. End of band history! This is Go To Hell from their 1996 self-titled album. Smash play and enjoy alt-rock again in all its majestic 90’s-drenched glory!

When I listen to modern music, I mostly hear shitty corporate pablum. When I listen to Drill, I think, well, at least there was some potential for greatness. They were enthusiastic, chaotic, aggressive, and creative… all traits I would respect in any artist. When it comes to music, I like anything that tries to be different. Drill tried and failed miserably, but as they say, it is sometimes the effort alone that counts. Image source: https://www.discogs.com/artist/230476-Drill
