USCHO Music: From Queen to The Beatles to Lady Gaga

I would hang with this guy.

Fun fact: I have heard every one of these albums up to 1995, except 1938 because I hate violin concertos.

Then, have not heard: 1995, 1996, 2003 (sounds awful), 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010 (never liked Kanye), 2011, 2013 (not my kink), 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020 (see 2013), 2021, 2022.

His The Music of 1974 in 5 Minutes introduced me to some good, obscure music.

Dashboard Confessional is coming to Grand Rapids.

As I understand it, they're going to play all of my AIM away messages.

Have tickets to see them tonight in Des Moines (with Taylor Acorn and Boys Like Girls opening), sadly my wife has a nasty cold so we aren't going to make it.

Saw Dashboard a few years ago with Jimmy Eat World for our first concert post-Covid. Both put on a good show. Crowd for that one was entertaining, there were a ton of 40-somethings and then a ton of early 20s kids. Not sure if it was just because it was one of the first post-covid concerts in the area or if they actually liked the bands.
 
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen someone blow through so much goodwill with fans as quickly as Chappell roan.

mental health is critical. But this girl needs publicist stat

screaming at people on tik tok, telling people only trans can advocate for trans right, both sidsing like an asshole, and then appearing to have no sympathy for people who have shelled out thousands to travel to see her and she’s repeatedly backing out last minute

she’s creating all her own problems amd lashing out at everyone else.

the hawk rush girl has better PR.

1000%.

She’s insufferable and it is everyone else’s fault.
 
TIL that Rocky Raccoon was originally from Minnesota and not Dakota. I wonder if Paul was a fan of the Rocky and Bullwinkle show.

Is all her stuff this over-produced?

She seems to be completely a creation of studio mixing. I don't even know if there's a human voice behind all the audio goo.

Huh. The rise and fall of a Midwest princess I guess.
 
TIL Ellington composed Solitude from scratch, leaning against the wall at the RCA studio, because he was one song short, in 20 minutes. Nobody should apply the word "genius" to any other 20th century composer except Stravinsky on a very good day.

Video Games is a beautiful song about backwoods, ignorant, abusive love. I heard it before I learned about her whole gross story.

I'll say this about Roan after hearing about her for the first time last Wednesday so of course my opinion is considered and vitally important. I watched an unexpurgated clip of her statement about why she won't endorse, and I'm sympathetic and also fairly impressed than she has a coherent and nuanced take on "Dump is a Nazi but Dems are helping murder Gaza babies." The bottom line is on all the facts she is absolutely right. What else you get is a very young person (she is 26, I would have guessed 18) struggling with what anyone with a conscience struggles with: when you commit to anyone with political power in a superpower that means you are underwriting murder at a level that in most decades achieves genocidal proportions. Power is a fist smashing the faces of innocents and probably always will be until we get FTL and leave the reptiles behind.

I would say to her the only two courses of action are either committing to a side and accepting the blood on your soul or opting out and not opposing the Nazis. That lets me choose the Dems. I still don't sleep comfortably. I know exactly what I am doing. But in our timeline and at this moment it is the best of only two possible actions. By all means, also work to bring about a better world where we don't have to be on the same side as Dick F-cking Cheney, but for now, there is a clear choice so put your whole self into it. That is a mature recognition that your pure virginal conscience doesn't matter when more pain and lives of others is in the balance.

But she's so d-mn young. I applaud that it gives her nightmares. It should for all of us. And I haven't heard any critic of hers say anything remotely as kind and genuine as she has.

Her music is egregious, but I believe she is trying to do right as a human, and what else can one do?

Any if people want to criticize her, well, without makeup I'll go to the wall for her.
