It's truly mind-boggling that John and Paul worried whether George would be able to make it as a solo artist and then were blown away when they heard All Things Must Pass—an album full of songs he had been trying to record with them that they rejected. Were they even fucking listening?
Yeah, AdNauseam. Doesn't show the ads but clicks them all so it messes up analytics, and assuming the ads Stereogum runs are pay-per-click they'll make more money from me using it than not. Plus looking at how many trackers load up with the ads if I disable it—500+ while typing this comment—there's no way I'll turn it off. I'll just wait for the videos to get uploaded to the YT channel (where ads and trackers are also, thankfully, blocked)
Mal playing the anvil was amazing, and I love that he was still there as their "road manager" even though they hadn't been on the road in nearly three years. Terrible what ended up happening to him
Without the TV documentary part and the high stakes of being in The Beatles, it's pretty much like every band practice I've ever had. We need to get this song written, do you want another cup of tea, we're not going to be ready for the show next week, pass me a smoke, I think your new song idea is shit but I'm not going to say it outright, yeah I'll have another cup of tea, let's do an impromptu cover of this song for no reason, let's sing one of our old songs in silly voices, let's get some sandwiches, repeat
It's great
Yeah. Just recently in British Hanukkah news: a group of Jewish people celebrating Hannukah on a bus tour in London were attacked, and Boris Johnson was given a menorah and waved it over his head which scattered pieces of it all over the floor.
"Is he the right sexual proclivity?"
You do sometimes wonder considering how sanitised any discussion of Freddie Mercury's sexuality and HIV diagnosis is in any officially sanctioned Queen media.
For a while I was convinced (and even managed to convince a couple of others with my argument) that I Get Wet is a noise album because the non-stop, brick-walled, four-to-the-floor onslaught is about as exhausting as listening to Incapacitants for half an hour
These days tho I just think it's an album full of amazingly ridiculous, ridiculously amazing bangers
The re-scores are funny for the few that hint at early Pitchfork writers being a bunch of hacky tryhard college kids who really didn't know what they were doing
Fuck yeah, really looking forward to this. Tanya Tagaq is a FORCE
Split Tooth is an incredible read. Somewhat disturbing perhaps, tho understandably so considering the experiences of Inuit people
