Q: “What responsibility does a performer owe to his public?” 
Peter: “A performer should be responsible to the teen-aged public. He should do the best he can all the time. But he is entitled to his privacy.” - Song Hits, November 1967

The Left Banke: Evolution of a Unique Sound in 1967

The Left Banke in Song Hits magazine: April 1967 The sound is haunting . . . a unique combination of chamber strings with a subtle, insinuating drumbeat. And the melody? It’s done in unique harmonics for a “pop” song. Minor chords — a repetitive sounding lyric line, these are some of the characteristics of a brand new song entitled “Pretty Ballerina.” Already it has captured the listening ear…

Okay I’m not really a part of this fandom but I’ve been following along cuz it looks kinda cool

So I do wanna say that I noticed smth in the last episode of Hazbin Hotel involving Alastor?

Like it’s canonical that he’s never not smiling right? But I was watching his fight with Adam again and I saw this:

His shadowwwww was FROWNINGGGGG

But then it corrects itself like half a second later!!

It’s a blink-and-you-miss-it moment:

From Monkee Spectacular No. 14.

Q: “Peter, why do you want to be President of the United States?” Peter: “Oh, just for a lark. It’s better than being a Chevrolet.” - Song Hits, November 1967

Q: “I have read that your ambition is to become President of the United States. Why do you want to become President and how do you feel you could best guide our country?” Peter: “I want to become President because it pays better than the salary I’m getting now.” - Monkee Spectacular No. 9

“I was thinking recently of what I’d do if The Monkees ever dissolve. My first choice will be to try it as a solo folk-singer performer. And later, if I feel I’m substantial enough, I’ll try politics. I think in the very near future there will be an urgent need for government to represent the hopes and dreams of an entirely different generation.” - Peter Tork, Photoplay, September 1967

“Peter For President Don’t you think that Peter should get some kind of medal for being so groovy, but most of all for being all the way for Peace and Love? I think that more people should be the way Peter is! Peter’s motto is ‘God is Love,’ and my motto is ‘Love and Peace is Peter!’ With his personality and that motto, wouldn’t he make a wonderful president? A Devoted Fan Pensacola, Fla.” - Monkee Letters, Monkee Spectacular, No. 14

Speaking of running for office... or, at least, a committee trying to get Peter elected to office:

“Help Elect Peter Tork Sheriff of Los Angeles County. Stop the police attack on youth. Write Peter Tork For Sheriff Committee, 7507 Sunset Blvd., L.A. 90046, Calif. (Please enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope.[)] You need not be 21 to work for Peter Tork For Sheriff.” - classified ad, KPFK-FM Folio, December 1968 (and January 1969)

“Back in the old days, somebody actually did put up a whole series of posters: ‘Peter Tork For Sheriff,’ in L.A., in L.A. County. I didn’t have the brass to follow through on it. The world might have been a very different place today (laughs).” - Peter Tork, onstage at the Tin Angel, May 16, 1999 (x)

The Youngbloods: An Emerging 1960s Singing Group on the Rise

The Youngbloods in Song Hits magazine: March 1967 The Youngbloods, a new, young, singing-performing group, have an exciting record on RCA Victor, their first single, ‘Grizzly Bear” backed with ‘‘Tears”’. To look at the Youngbloods, you’d never guess that four such different people could have much in common. To listen to them talk you’d wonder how four such distinct personalities could work…

*most "big" artists (big on tumblr) have been left out to not skew results: (an exception was made for hozier) ** these are songs that were big on the radio in 2014 as well as being released in 2014 !!

the feeling when you’ve gotten used to a lyric or a quote or a poem but then you read it again one random day and suddenly it focuses and then explodes into meaning
