Thinking about how hozier is so Irish and Noah Kahan is so American ya know

#like with hozier u can see that influence in like the songs about nature and the catholic church and the references to irish authors #u can also hear it in his music a bit with the biting melodies and the synocopated parts underneath #and noah kahan.... #u can hear that influence of folk and country music that runs through a lot of american singers #like the need to tell a story in that kind of way #and how politics are interwoven seemlessly into those songs #but what do they have in common... #just wailing about how theyll do anything for their love #even if it destroys them #lets not think too hard about why that impacts me so much #anyways thats it #hozier #noah kahan #take me to church #stick season

I know it’s all just standards.

But Ringo’s Sentimental Journey is utterly charming.

We really should talk more about how he turns to this project as therapy as the band is falling apart. It’s pure nostalgia in a bottle but with Ringo jazz drumming and just having fun with it singing and adding these cute little improv bits. Blues Turning Grey Over You is a highlight for the “I just lost myself there, child!” laugh at the end.

It’s all utterly charming.

It’s a really cool collaboration too. He recruited different musicans arrange each piece (including Paul, who arranged Stardust, perhaps before the breakup drama heats up). George Martin produces and gets the big band together. They start recording more sporadically at first, starting Oct 1969. Night and Day, Stormy Weather (which got left off the final album but I love he tried it), Stardust, and Dream, all recorded before Christmas. The rest are Jan-Mar 1970.

It gets ripped to shreds by the rock cred sector. But Ringo using this as a grief project, sorta returning to childhood in the midst of a blow for comfort, feels more honest and healthy than he gets credit for. It’s also brassy af. This is the height of “fuck jazz,” and Ringo’s just like “so what? I’ll do what I like.”

George said he liked it. John slagged him off for it in interviews, but I bet he secretly liked it too. Not sure whether Paul ever commented on it given the dual release drama. He does his own standards album decades later, after it becomes a thing artists do. But when Ringo does it in 1970? No one was doing that.

#sentimental journey #ringo starr #blue turning grey over you #particularly sounds like ringos version of grieving #pringo folks yall should be all over this one #pauls recording all by himself while john and george recruit ringo for their solo work #we know ringo took that hard with that lyric about not knowing if paul will play with him #you always hurt the ones you love #thats why that quotes on his mind #ringo appreciation post #my text #hey hey found that post i thought i lost! #when i say fuck jazz i mean fuck 40s big band #boomers saw it as their parents music and rejected it for decades #ringos like i know its my parents music but its also sounds of my childhood and like a warm blanket and thats kinda beautiful

expose folk & blues music history to american public school students

#i believe that the exposure of art. of course given the tools to properly digest and provoke questions from it. can be and should be life #changing !! i think we need to utilize art within history classes more. its hard to contextualize history when youre memorizing vocabulary #terms and not exposed to the humanity of our ancestors. actually i got really into this idea a few months ago researching the africanus #austrolopithicus. the dissonance we feel between ourselves and our oldest ancestors that resemble animal more than human. i think we #feel this with history not long behind us as well. you miss the humanity when you cant relate on a basic level to our history. thats why i #think blues and folk music is so important. to hear people complain about the wealthy 100.. 200.. 400 years ago. how can you not be effecte #by that. its timeless !! and thats why its magical. anyway i feel really passionate about this so i apologize for soapboxing #also i want to add. its important to assess the historical art that you're aware of. to be aware of who is preserving this. its so importan #thats also why you should never feel guilty for taking up space with your art. think of all the artwork out there that hasnt been preserved #all the music youll never hear all the paintings and drawings youll never see. making art is part of being human #anyway off topic Im seepy

I feel like I missed a vague detail or off-hand line lol #its a cute full name ill probably keep using it but i just wanted to know from folks whove been around this longer than i have haha #anyway! i really loved drawing the spicy boy there. red beej is so cool #i like to keep him mostly human in my designs but i think a little bit of that demon comes out when hes very mad #also i didnt make my purple beej quite as sad and sopping wet as id liked to #but. i struggle to draw sad guys so! i need practice #anyway. sorry for the tag ramble wow. tldr; I Love Him A Lot

gonna be real noah kahan doesnt appeal much to me because all of a sudden he was everywhere and inescapable but i think i get why people like him? just not for me 😔

Oh noooo I get it though. He did kind of explode and then end up absolutely everywhere. I grew up in New England, so not only has he been on my radar for while, but for me personally, his songs are extremely relatable - there is a certain trauma associated with growing up in that area haha (I also think his song Maine is so stupidly clever because there are the lines:

"If only, baby "There were cameras in the traffic lights They'd make me a star"

AND IN MAINE IT IS ILLEGAL TO HAVE CAMERAS IN THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS like there aren't red light cameras OR speed camera in the traffic lights which I am aware is a very weird niche thing but it was a very important part of my summer driving up to beach when I was a teenager in my very red car lol)

Thank you for sending in this ask! I hope you had a wonderful Sunday and that you have a great rest of your week!

❤️Ally

#allylikethecat #ask ally #keep it kind #the fob to 75 pipeline #does not involve noah as much as i thought it would rip #noah is still my boy though #im mean because i grew up in new england is also something i find extremely relatable #he really just... captured the entire feeling of growing up where i did #and the weird expectations of that #so like im a huge fan #BUT i get why people aren't into him #and i am also a little surprised hes suddenly everywhere #im like sir thats my lil folk singer who overshares about how bowel movements on the internet #and nearly burnt down my fav taco place lol #im going to see him at fenway this summer and i am going to be insufferable seeing him with the squad #i cried when i saw him in my current place of residence #but seeing him at FENWAY #my bitter little new englander heart is going to burst #its like seeing fall out boy in chicago lol #or not that i ever have #but seeing the 1975 in manchester #gosh music is just so good #and there is so much out there #and its so cool how there is something for everyone #also i just really love maine #i wanna go to maine basically at all times #sometimes i dream of being old and moving there #because i just maine

just randomly remembered neil shared his early lockdown playlist to the guardian that was full of strings-focused songs and folk songs. then meanwhile chris' lockdown playlist had yearning songs on it. yeah it's all coming together with nonetheless huh uh oh

#neil walking around the countryside by his new house in 2020 listening to classical music of course he was #meanwhile chris was fighting for his life in london 💀 #the strings and the folk songs and then chris' songs. all the songs being from 2020-2022. ok. #im sorry im still a bit surprised ive guessed some stuff about nonetheless right #but thats what happens when youre left with crumbs for 4 years and only hotspot to focus on

I once again got the urge to work on my Trigun Stampede Broadway Musical Concept. But I feel it requires me to do more research on musicals. Expand my horizons for the music references.

For the record, I'm thinking about writing an outline with the song concepts and summarizing how they progress or move the plot. Note the changes in characterization and make a little Bible of ideas on how to bring it to life like effects and costumes.

There would also be song references from other musicals, not necessarily the content of the song but the mood and style mixed with notes on instrumentation or allusions to the tristamp ost.

Finally I would make a playbill cover. Cause most musicals do stylized iconic renderings that don't depict detailed actors for the sake of a rotating cast.

I just have to decide how overtly gay we are getting cuz the vashwood dynamic would be the real heart of the narrative. It would be very subversive to not be explicit with a romantic subplot but we could maintain the emotional core of all the relationships regardless.

But omg I'm reviewing some dialogue from trimax and like there would be no way to drop some of these lines in song and not feel a romantic motif. Song does that lol. These guys have to be the emotional backbone.

At the risk of sounding heteronormative, Meryl would need a narrative upgrade as the sole female lead... I know romance is not my only choice here but it is the musical trope satisfying one. I'm gonna try to avoid it. Even though I have a real soft spot for vashmeryl.

She is the audience insert character and I would have to do well to make her not passive but maybe grow towards something in her relationship to parallel the themes of human nature, in a way that tristamp couldn't/ didnt have the air time to do. Maybe mess with her motives a bit, give her some kind of commentary on the setting and have her make an active choice, maybe in the plant reveal turn of the narrative (which is an act 1 finale thing as of now, act 2 is flashback and maybe an original escalating plotline). This isn't corrective by any means, I love Meryl but the engagement in a musical setting is very different.

I know for a fact that I'll have to rearrange some things and combine some ideas from even the tristamp formula. Mainly to fit into the 2 act format or accommodate the flow and set.

I'm rambling but most musicals don't have lore and tristamp has lore and I think it could be really really effective and cool. Ahhh this is just an excuse to listen to a bunch if show tunes.

Anywhere, does this sound interesting or am I just crazy? The right kind of crazy?

#trigun #trigun stampede #this is a very strange project especially in how to execute and share it with others #but like guys im obsessed #trigun would make a very cool musical #think of all the normal folk having thier minds melted by some starwars dune western musical #itd be a surprise akin to hamilton #trigun musical concept #thats my tag for it
