dsmp is still SO insane to me. still not completely convinced it wasn't a social experiment. it is something that can never be replicated again due to the really specific circumstances that attributed to it's creation and popularity
catch me looking up nightingale symbolisms for tales of the passerine. if danny's using the name of a songbird for a hero name, regardless of familial connections, i will utilize the symbolism tied to the bird. Anyways general gist of the nightingale symbolism i've seen, other than what wikipedia told me, is that nightingales were frequently symbolisms of spring renewal, loss/death, love, etc. catch me about to incorporate music into Danny's character
billie eilish and finneas - interview with zane lowe may 21, 2024 - on fear, honesty and struggle with HIT ME HARD AND SOFT
Billie: Well, and also, not to throw you under the bus, but Finneas was like, “I don't like doing this anymore. I don't want to write music right now.”
Finneas: That’s true.
Billie: And this was really scary for me at the time because, as you know, I used to be like, I hate making music. Don't want to make it, don't like making it. It's frustrating. It's irritating. I love having made it. I love performing it. I love, you know, when it's good. But I really have always struggled with the process. And this was when—
Finneas: You were enjoying the process suddenly.
Billie: I was kind of finally enjoying the process. And Finneas was like, “I would rather be doing anything else right now.” And it was very interesting because I saw myself in that. I was like, I have felt that way, and you have always been the thing that keeps the ship moving, and now you feel that way and like, what does that mean for us and what are we going to do?

In the world of rock, Queen stands out as a good example of the clash between guitar and piano in songwriting. I think that’s where you stumble across those more unusual arrangements and chord structures.
In my heart I want to do more hard rock music, but at the same time, I’m much more attracted to the piano. I think that automatically causes something unusual to happen.
Also Smashing Pumpkins, even though they’re not piano-based. I always found their arrangements interesting, like on the album, Siamese Dream. In terms of guitar, I also like Rage Against the Machine and Jimi Hendrix.
But in terms of piano, I love Ben Folds, but to me, that’s a very different style of music. I love the low, heavy piano bit in “Jackson Cannery.” It made me realise if you want to get heavy, you have to get down there and hit some large chord.

More so a question between the latter two poll options.
In case you don't know the origin of The Archies I'll let my enemy Don Kirshner explain:
TLDW: "To avoid a repeat of the Monkees fiasco while still allowing himself full control, Kirshner commissioned a band based on cartoon characters—if the session musicians tried to rebel or leave, they could be replaced seamlessly"
According to wikipedia, the rotating list of personnel who provided the vocals for the Archies were:
Ron Dante
Toni Wine
Jeff Barry
Donna Marie
Merle Miller
Bob Levine
Bobby Bloom
Chuck Rainey
Gary Chester
Dave Appell
Joey Macho
Ron Frangipane
Andy Kim
Sal DiTroia
Hugh McCracken

a lot of young female singers/newcomers seem to have that same toneless, highpitched voice with little articulation and i wonder if they get coached that way? can't be that all these young ladies suffer from same face syndrome but for voices right
If I were lucky enough to attract a loyal following of goths, I would simply not slag off the subculture in interviews in a desperate and pathetic attempt to get the mainstream to consider me a real artist. RIP to every musician goths have ever loved but I'm different.
im like, wanting to associate less with furry music bc of how some folks are obsessed with clout and clout chasing. ppl rag on cassidy the civet, but some of the folks dunking on her are exactly like her. its just disheartening. on the cool side, the musicians that arent clout obsessed are incredible sweethearts.
