How are you gonna brag about your music taste and then not share it?

You know what, fair enough! Let's fix that real quick:

First, a Canadian Celtic band called the Cottars. Unfortunately, their first two albums aren't available on Spotify, and their second cd, On Fire, is my favorite. That said, if you poke around on Youtube, you can find some of their early stuff. Here's their version of Sùilean Dubh,

youtube

And then a fun rendition of Home by Bearna, an upbeat song about trying to get your drunk friend home without causing a ruckus.

youtube

Next on the list: Borodin! He's a Russian classical composer, and I highly recommend In the Steppes of Central Asia, which is not only a symphony but also a symphonic poem. Here's a piece of it; I also recommend this particular recording, which you can easily find on Spotify:

youtube

Then, if you feel like listening to steampunk space pirates mixing folk music and mythology, give a listen to the Mechanisms. The band's premise was that the musicians were more or less immortal and traveled the universe, and their albums tell overarching stories about in worlds based on elements such as fairy tales, greek myths, and nursery rhymes. Fair warning: the stories pretty much always have a grim ending, but it's worth the ride. Also, this is one of those bands were you should listen to each album as a whole. Might I recommend either starting with either "Ulysses Dies at the End" or "The Bifrost Incident." Unfortunately, I can't share my favorite song of theirs, as it contains massive spoilers! But you can find them on either Spotify or Youtube easily.

I could keep going, but let's end with a band I keep pushing: I Don't Know How But They Found Me, or IDKHow. Dallon Weekes is a gem, y'all, and he deserves to be better known. His music is sarcastic and very biting towards fame and the industries involved in them, but then you get moments of gorgeous sincerity. And the music's just fantastic as well. Honestly, IDKHow doesn't have a bad song, but I'll post the song that made me fall in love with them:

youtube

And how about New Inventions for good measure.

youtube

#honestly I love music in general #one of the best things about life #I've seen idkhow and the cottars live #and it's just incredible how it makes you feel #anyway #thanks for the question!#music

hi!! just saw your post abt brendon and all the shit p!atd has covered up and i honestly feel so sick :// i have a question tho bc as much as i hate them now and wanna distance from them, i genuinely love some of their music but also i cant listen to it w/o being sick but i wanna enjoy the music solely yknow? dyou know how i could do that lol bc im gonna be sad if i can never listen to their songs the same way again

i cant say im an expert on any of this and it's hard because im of two minds. on one hand, yes, i love the idea of death of the author and reclaiming a work from a shitty person. on the other hand...i dont like the idea of continuing to validate that shitty persons work and maintain that persons relevance in the public eye, especially if it means that they get to coast off of that relevance and dodge consequences for their shit actions!

what muddies the issues so much with panic is that despite how much the marketing has pushed this idea...panic really isn't and never has been solely the brendon urie show. the band was started between two childhood friends (ryan ross and spencer smith). the band managed to exist because the original bassist, brent wilson, happened to know brendon urie and thought he could sing. the band got a record deal because ryan ross bothered pete wentz on livejournal enough times. panic at the disco got a career because pete wentz decided to take a chance on these kids from vegas and create an entire label to sign them. a fever you can't sweat out exists because of ryan ross and spencer smith as much as it does because of brendon urie. pretty odd exists because of jon walker and ryan ross and spencer smith as much as it does because of brendon urie. vices & virtues exists because of spencer smith and pete wentz and dallon weekes as much as it does because of brendon urie. too weird to live, too rare to die exists because of spencer smith and dallon weekes as much as it does because of brendon urie. death of a bachelor exists because of lolo as much as it does because of brendon urie. pray for the wicked exists because of brendon's 43 writers (yes, really, i counted, it has that many credited lmao) as much as it does because of the guy himself. all these records exist because of the producers and engineers that worked on them just as much as they do because of brendon urie, if not more so.

i don't want to downplay how many other hands have been involved in the machine of panic. brendon is not and never has been its sole engineer, no matter how much he's billed as the central creative mind. and i don't want to erase or dismiss how many other people contributed to that art because the one guy who owns the title now happens to be a garbage person, particularly since brendon didn't start the band to begin with! for however shit he was treated in the band, dallon has stated that he's still proud of a lot of the instrumentation and lyricism he put on too weird, and i want to still recognize a lot of that record as something i can admire.

for my part, i've still got a few panic albums on my ipod. i didn't...actually buy them because i was a broke college student when i got my hands on them lol so i didn't actually ever give the guy my money. and it's hard to listen to them now for the most part. i don't stream panic stuff, i don't give it views. if i listen to the older stuff, i do it on my own time and as isolated from statistics as possible. i don't support brendon voluntarily in any way and the only times i discuss him is to dunk on him mercilessly because he deserves it lol

i wish i had a better answer for you that could give you peace of mind, anon. the sad fact is that it's not a simple issue because the simplest part of the issue - that brendon urie is a sack of shit - is frustrated by the fact that he took ownership of a band that was never really his to begin with, and performs songs that he never actually wrote drawing from situations he never personally lived.

#askin hours #anon #...ask to tag i guess?#i dont have as much nostalgia for panic as a lot of people do so its pretty easy for me to step away in that regard #but i know for a lot of people its kind of gutting and im not unysmpathetic to that

no literally dallon weekes also deserves better than being know as just the guy that was in patd and personally after all the shit with his wife being why he finally left the band i think he deserves to shit talk them publicly all he wants. i would even support him beating brendon’s ass like i would look away i would not see it

okay see i get ur point but this is the exact shit im talking about 😭

let the guy make his own music and make snide comments if he wants (does he even do this? has he ever said something negative about the band/brendon? i don’t keep up w him like that ngl); what a lot of people forget is that these guys grew up and made music together for a long fucking time—sure they went their separate ways and have their hang ups but fans constantly encouraging them to hold onto rage against their teenage bands other ex-members and constantly talking about how much they obviously hate each other is so childish and is holding them back IMO.

#the art of the ask #for the record i don’t really give a shit about brendon but i also think going out of ur way to talk about every single thing he does #is having the opposite of the intended effect of trying to get him to fade into obscurity #like everytime he puts out music people are jumping at the bit to be like “’oh RYAN would never make something this bad.. DALLON could do #better’ like jesus christ let them all move on—that Includes when brendon does smth under the name

Okay, so there’s a lot going on right now to do with Brendon Urie from Panic! At The Disco, and I figured I’d give my take on it.

Before I start, I should say I got most of my information from other people on social media - YouTube, Twitter, Tik Tok, and I read some articles. Because of where I got most of my information, I won’t be able to link anything, so I implore you to do your own research as well. That being said, here’s a brief rundown of what happened, with my opinion at the end.

First and foremost, Brendon has been called out for being racist. There’s a Vine of him mouthing along to the n-word, and while he didn’t outright say it, he did still mouth along to it. Being white, he had no business doing that, and he should’ve censored the word out entirely, but he didn’t. He’s since apologized and been a supporter of BLM, even going onto Twitch when George Floyd was killed, and making a post on his Instagram about how white privilege affects him, all of which can be found on YouTube or Instagram.

Secondly, he was accused of being transphobic. Most of you are probably confused because he is pansexual himself, and he wrote a song about bisexuality, and he can be found decked out in pride flags at concerts. However, there is a video of him at an interview saying the transphobic slur, and since he’s cisgender, he has no right using that word. From what I know, he was explaining his sexuality when someone asked him about it, and he quoted what someone had said to him, which included the transphobic slur. He’s since apologized on Periscope (I’m not sure if there’s a YouTube video of that or not), and as we all know, he’s been a huge advocate for LGBTQ+ rights ever since.

There’s also a video of Brendon joking about raping fans at a concert. You can find this on YouTube, where he says something along the lines of “If I see you after the show, I’m gonna fuck you. I don’t care if you want it - I care more if you don’t!” If the video isn’t edited shorter, you can also hear Dallon Weekes say “And I’m gonna watch,” though no one ever mentions that. This isn’t me trying to get Dallon cancelled. Quite frankly, I don’t like cancel culture and I think people are way too trigger happy to destroy someone’s career. My only reason for interjecting this is if you’re gonna get mad at Brendon for making that joke, then get mad at Dallon for adding onto it, too.

More recently, he’s been accused of sexually assaulting a fan. Someone on Twitter by the name of Kam retold a story of being a minor when he met Brendon, and Brendon was kissing and touching him inappropriately despite knowing he was a minor. There were also other accounts saying similar things happened to them. However, from what I know, the whole Kam thing was actually a Wattpad self-insert fanfiction that someone stole the plot of, and the multiple different accounts were actually one person, and they were lying, so there’s absolutely no evidence of Brendon sexually assaulting a minor or behaving inappropriately in that way whatsoever.

Lots of people also get upset with the Zack Hall thing. Zack Hall was Brendon’s bodyguard for a long time, and Breezy Weekes recently came out and said that Zack Hall basically sexually harassed her the entire time Dallon was in Panic!. Other people came out and said they had similar encounters with Zack Hall, and he’s now fired from Panic!. Similarly, when Kenny Harris was accused of sexually harassing/assaulting minors, he was also fired. People are upset because Brendon is remaining friends with Zack Hall, though I really don’t think that’s any of our business. As far as I see it, they’ve been close friends for years, and it’s hard to just drop that, even if they do something you disagree with. Also, Zack was fired, which is what people wanted. I think it’s dumb to hold Brendon to a friend’s actions, especially when he already fired him and removed him from fans, like everyone was asking him to do.

Also (and I’m not as well informed with this as other topics), there’s an interview somewhere of Ryan Ross being uncomfortable with Brendon’s stage gay. I’m not sure how many times they had that conversation or how often Ryan asked Brendon to not touch him or do the stage gay routine with him, or how many times Brendon disregarded that once they were onstage. Brendon should’ve respected Ryan’s wishes and not touched him the first time he was asked, but again, I don’t know the specifics here, so this is all I can comment on here.

[Edit: I had someone reach out to me in regards to the above information, and I decided to keep everything I originally wrote as context. According to them, there isn’t an interview of Ryan saying he’s uncomfortable with the stage gay, and it was all in fact scripted between the two of them. It sounds like people basically made up Ryan being uncomfortable with the act, in which case, these accusations also appear to be entirely false.]

As we all know, Brendon struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, which literally impairs judgment and makes you do things you normally wouldn’t do. This includes saying things you shouldn’t (making rape jokes to a supposedly 18+ audience while likely drunk, high, or both) and doing things you shouldn’t (the stage gay routine). I’d also like to point out that a lot of the stuff he said at shows was probably to entertain, particularly the stage gay stuff, and there’s no way in hell you can convince me the audience didn’t eat that shit up. I wouldn’t be surprised if he did those things to get a reaction, and you know he fucking got one, so while I disapprove of him making Ryan uncomfortable, I also understand the audience there, expecting it, probably didn’t help either.

I think that’s everything. As you can see, it’s a lot of stuff, but I don’t think any of it is as bad as people say. Mouthing the n-word once doesn’t make a person racist. Saying a transphobic slur once doesn’t make a person transphobic. He especially isn’t either of these things when you take into account how he’s since apologized and shown incredible support for BLM and the LGBTQ+ community, which I think says a lot about him as a person.

This is going off track a little bit, but I think it’ll make a point. My dad grew up in the seventies, in a time where homophobia was rampant and racism was common. My dad grew up homophobic and racist, and he used homophobic slurs all the time as a teenager and a young adult. To this day, my dad has prejudiced views about race and sexuality, but he’s obviously changed his opinion since then, with education and understanding. He never apologized for the things he said back then, mostly because he isn’t famous and no one has called him out for it.

The point is, if people held my dad responsible for things he said in high school and college, when he was the most ignorant, the most sheltered, the least exposed to other people and cultures, then he’d be labeled racist and homophobic now (which he technically is, simply by virtue of being white and straight, but that’s a conversation for another time). We need to give people room to grow, give them resources to educate themselves and combat their ignorance. Brendon Urie has DONE that, multiple times! He’s never been accused of racism aside from mouthing the n-word in a Vine, which, should I remind you how old Vine is? He’s never been accused of being transphobic aside from that one time he used a slur, when he wasn’t even using his own words.

I’m not trying to excuse what he’s done. Using those slurs, making Ryan uncomfortable [edit: probably not true], joking about rape, none of those things are okay, and that’s pretty damn obvious to everyone, I think. However, it’s also evident he’s changed since then. As far as I know, he’s never used a slur since then. He’s an advocate for BLM and the LGBTQ+ community. He’s struggled with addiction, which isn’t easy for anyone, and he’s been able to grow and become a better person since then. I absolutely agree with holding him accountable for what he said and did, especially the things we don’t agree with. He’s a public figure, and he has to be aware of what he says and how his actions have consequences. That’s just how it works when you’re in the public eye.

Do I think Brendon Urie deserves to be cancelled? Absolutely not. He’s human, and all humans change. I’m not the same person I was ten years ago, and ten years from now, I’ll be someone else entirely. If someone held me responsible for every mistake I ever made and completely disregarded my progress and personal growth, I’d look like a horrible person. Why aren’t we keeping that energy for Brendon? Hold him accountable. Keep him responsible for what he did. And allow him to improve. Allow him to educate himself. Allow him to better himself. Allow him to be fucking human, for fuck’s sake.

So, there’s my take. I’m still a Panic! At The Disco fan, and I’m still a huge fan of Brendon Urie himself. Unless he regresses completely and becomes Kanye West or some shit, I will continue to support him. He’s not even as problematic as some other people’s faves, so I’m not even gonna feel bad for continuing to support him. I’m acknowledging his shortcomings and recognizing his progress, because I understand that this isn’t black and white or two dimensional.

If his actions aren’t exuseable for you, then that’s fine. If you can’t be a fan of him of Panic! anymore, then that’s your decision. For me personally, I think his growth says a lot about his character, and I’m gonna continue to stick it out with him. You don’t have to like him, but quit being so close-minded about the good he’s done in all of this. It makes you look excited to destroy a person’s career, and quite frankly, I’m tired of trigger-happy, cancel culture junkies. Take it elsewhere.

i think IDKHOW deserves to have its creative identity respected by its own merit and not by relation to p!atd but also....if youre sad about what happened to panic go listen to i dont know how but they found me. their debut album is literally about how and why panic sucks now. and i dont just mean its about the industry that killed panic i mean its literally about the band panic! at the disco because idkhow is dallon weekes' (the last member of panic to leave) new band and its everything you miss about panic but better. please god can we talk about how good idkhow is

Hey could you do a Demon!Dallon story of some kind! Thanks! Totally not Maria

Before I Drag You Down

Pairing: Demon!Dallon Weekes x Female ReaderRating: TeenRequested By: @glittercupcakes-and-squats because I know better lolWord Count: ~500Author’s Note: I thought of this one on the way into work today and just cranked it out so its kinda short/a glorified drabble.

Dallon’s eyes scanned the bar. It was filled with sad, desperate people looking for someone to go home with. Someone to cling to for at least a couple hours to keep the loneliness at bay. Then his eyes landed on her and a smirk formed as he made his move.

He slid onto the unoccupied stool and glanced over at the girl sitting there. She was pretty, but seemed shy for a place like this. No matter to him though, he knew just what to do.

“Excuse me,” he said with a smile, “but you don’t mind me taking this spot, right?”

“No, not at all,” she replied as she nervously tucked her hair back.

“Good, because I saw you from across the room and I had to come talk to you,” he said as he extended his hand. “I’m Dallon.”

“(YN). Its nice to meet you,” she replied as his large hand dwarfed hers.

“You don’t seem like the type of girl for a place like this,” he said leaning in as the music got louder.

“I’m not, but my friend said its a good place to meet people.”

“You gotta be careful what kinds of people you meet at a bar, they could be evil,” he said with a look of concern in his bright blue eyes.

“You’d tell me if you’re evil, right?”

“I would,” Dallon replied, running his hand through his brown hair. “I’m the kind of guy you can trust for a thing like that. I just wanna look out for a girl as pretty as you to make sure nothing bad happens to her.”

“Well maybe you should walk me home then,” (YN) replied standing up.

“Let’s go,” he replied with a smirk as he placed his hand on her shoulder and guided her out.

As they walked down the road, Dallon tucked (YN) under his arm protectively until they reached her door.

“Thank you for keeping me so safe, I think you deserved a reward,” (YN) smiled as she reached up and Dallon leaned in. His hands grasped at her waist as their lips met and they began making out on her door step.

She let the kiss become more passionate as his tongue slip against hers and she tangled her hands into his hair.

“Wanna come in?” She asked breathlessly as they separated for a moment.

“Very much,” Dallon replied.

(YN) unlocked her door and pulled him in by the jacket as their lips reconnected. They moved together through the small apartment until she took a step back from him, shedding her jacket on the floor and winked at him before darting for the bedroom.

Dallon smirked as well, ready for the kill when he suddenly felt stuck.

“Wait… what? What the hell?” He said as he started to look around at the apartment and then a realization dawned on him as he looked down and realized he was in the middle of a demon’s trap.

“That was easier than I thought it would be,” (YN) smirked as she came back into view. “The hunter finally becomes the hunted,” she smirked.
