I've never really listened to classical music before, but I've been addicted to Chopin's music for the last year. I just can't get enough of it.

LeAnn recently rereleased her single from 22 years ago with a new arrangement. Her magical voice makes this version rock, even though given the message of the song, its up-tempo version was more appropriate.

I grew up in Des Moines.. used to hang out with most members of Slipknot occasionally, and was close with a few. Sid (DJ Starscream) spun at a few parties I and other friends threw. We went to watch Rocky Horror together at midnight showings on at Billy Joe's Pitcher Show every Saturday night. My best friend Robert's stepdad owned the place actually. Des Moines is a pretty small town. God I miss those days. But my favorite Slipknot was before Corey. Back when they won the Battle of the Bands, against Stone Sour. Corey was an older jackass who hurt a girl in my grade I had a crush on :messenger_grinning_sweat:. Was a hell of a time, lots of high school age pot smoking, cigarettes and booze. Check out Facecage. Matt was an influence on their old masks... We used to sit at Perkins and talk politics and random shit all night long ;P



But I am addicted to Band Maid and Babymetal these days.





Also to add, Hamilton has been a huge part of me. Best musical ever maybe.

today went to the record store during lunch and walked out with a couple of cheap used records, the Archies Sunshine (im a sucker for psychedelic bubblegum pop) and Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland

jimi_hendrix_experience_electric_ladyland_lp_back_grande.jpg

currently listening to this. damn. opener noise track "...And the Gods Made Love" still sounds futuristic - Jimi Hendrix was so ahead of his time. then the first song, the psychedelic funk "(Have You Ever Been) to Electric Ladyland" is so good. just this beginning might be my favorite part of the album, tho the ambient undersea sci fi stuff on the 2nd half is wonderful to get lost in. i love it all so much! experimental pop, proto-Prince, proto-Bowie. going back and revisiting the albums, it's still clear that Jimi Hendrix was so influential. it's like he tapped into the future through his music.

went to a record store yesterday and walked out with 3 LPs in VG+ condition, all wonderful classic records: Harry Nilsson's "Son of Schmilsson", Lou Reed's "The Bells", and The Mothers of Invention's "Absolutely Free". this is the first Zappa I ever heard, and im listening to it right now. it's amazing how relevant it still is! the first song is "Plastic People", a deconstruction parody of "Louie Louie" as a post-rock protest song with really goofy voices. some of the lyrics are "Take a day and walk around, watch the Nazis run your town"



it is a heavily satirical concept album, sneering at norms, violence-idolizing capitalism ("There's a little plastic congress, there's a nation you can buy"), sleezy politicians ("A world of secret hungers perverting the men who make our laws"). there is a comedy jazz song called "America Drinks and Goes Home", it is reprised at the very of the album in a very drunken retake, no doubt making fun of the Beatles for reprising Sgt. Pepper on their own concept album. "Brown Shoes Don't Make It" is still a bizarre, dystopian depiction of the classicism & political depravity of the ruling class. its very relevant given our modern porn-star-scandal political reality. these are songs about characters like Bret Kavanaugh and Donald Trump, lucky losers who fail upwards through life at the expense of the rest of us. "TV dinners by the pool, I'm so glad I finished school. Life is such a ball I run the world from city hall."

the new Beatles White Album 50th Anniversary is out today. i've been listening to the outtakes and they are absolutely wonderful. i've been into Beatles bootlegs for decades now and all of this stuff is huge, even the Esher tapes alone are a great find, just a massive upgrade in sound quality. my favorite album of all time
