I have officially found the Lennon to my McCartney:
My wonderful girlfriend.
My ideal songwriting partner was always right there in front of me.
-
Another unpopular musical opinion from me: I prefer the Kinks' early material from 1964-1965 over everything else they've done; to me, the harder, more straightforward garage rock material is more timeless than the later proto-Britpop material from 1966 onwards.

I have now officially come out as poly both on here and on Twitter. Yay for me!

I wrote this little ditty for my girlfriend, might expand it into a full song. What do y'all think?:
She's so strange
She's so strange
She's so strange and unusual
But oh, ah, oh , oh, oh
But that's the reason why I love her so-woah

Sneak preview of my review for The Unswept's second album:
SpoilerSooo...how can I preface this? Well, let's start off by saying that the Unswept's debut album, in spite of almost entirely being covers, was an excellent beginning - it's clear the O'Brien trio have a wide variety of influences and are able to cleverly work them into their Beatlesque sound with no effort at all. That isn't to say the few originals are slouchers in that department either; I could see songs like "Inside Out" and "Certain Flowers" appearing on a Herman's Hermits or Dave Clark Five record, and think that they wouldn't feel out of place at all.So what happens when the sophomore effort, The Unswept Today! (a clear reference to the Beach Boys and their similarly-titled album The Beach Boys Today!) reverses that trend - a stronger emphasis on original material, with only 2 covers? A year after the release of their first album, the O'Briens returned to the recording studio with 9 original songs in hand, bolstered by covers of Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians' "Another Bubble" and Teenage Fanclub's "Mellow Doubt", to create this 11-song album. But does it hold up to the first album in terms of quality? Well, let's look at The Unswept Today!, and find out.

Power pop is what we play — what The Small Faces used to play, and the kind of pop The Beach Boys played in the days of "Fun, Fun, Fun" which I preferred."
—Pete Townshend
Truer words have never been spoken. If anyone asks me what I play, I'll say something similar.
"Call it psychobilly, call it power pop, call it horror punk, pop punk or even emo if you want. All of them are both valid and completely inaccurate to me. If you ask me what music I do tomorrow, I'd just say it's rock and roll."

...Odd question, but do you play music?

Thanks for the suggestion, my friend!
I'll need to give it a try some time soon! I'll have to find the right time for it, though – trying something at a time when I'm not completely motivated just seems to put me off things. And I know it'll take a lot of practice and attempts to get something done.
At any rate, it's something I really want to do – it would be so amazing to create an actual song instead of just having an idea!

If I had my own backing band, I'd call them the Rebelrousers.

Fixed a few errors in my review of The Unswept's debut album. As it turns out, the album's mostly covers.
-
I've decided on my next few reviews:
-All 3 of The Unswept's albums
-Walk Among Us by the Misfits (Halloween review)
-#1 Record by Big Star
-Rubber Soul by the Beatles
-Get the Knack by the Knack
-My Generation by The Who
-Endless Summer by the Beach Boys
9 albums seems like a tall order. But y'all should know me by now: I am stubborn, overconfident, and determined.
-
So, I decided on a characterization for Fluttershy in Majikarubasuto: a hippie goth.

Holy crap, Band camp is full of gems waiting to be discovered - I found out about this Chicago-based band (but born and raised in England) called The Unswept; they play pure, British Invasion -style power pop. Currently going through their entire discography (three albums and an EP) and I think I'm in love.

Hmmm...you guys think I should do a "Top 10 Albums from my Childhood" list?
-
Hmmm...that music hot take actually has me thinking...maybe I'll record my own version of Tommy sometime. If the Smithereens can do it, then why shouldn't I?
-
The Fab Four live up to their title of "the ultimate Beatles tribute". Nowhere else is this more apparent than in their take on Twist and Shout.
-
Who wants to read a music hot take from me? No, well too bad, here it is.
OK, as some of you miiight know, one of my favorite bands is The Who (primarily their 1960s work). Tommy is one of my favorite albums, but I have two primary gripes with it:
1) First and foremost, it's too long of an album. IMO, it can be distilled down into 12 songs, rather than 24.
2) Is it an important album? Yes. Is it The Who's masterwork and deserving of being one of the best albums of all time? ...Not really. For the first point, Who's Next and Quadrophrenia are better contenders for that title. As for the second point (which is very likely informed by my first gripe), when you get down to it, Tommy is...a decent album at best, and at worst, Pete Townshend's paean to psuedo-mystic New Age bullshit.
Now, here's my personal tracklist for the album.
SIDE ONE
Overture/It's A Boy: 5:57
1921: 3:14
Amazing Journey/Sparks: 7:10
Eyesight to the Blind (The Hawker): 2:15
Christmas: 5:30
The Acid Queen/Underture: 13:41
SIDE TWO
Pinball Wizard: 3:01
Go to the Mirror!: 3:50
I'm Free: 2:40
Welcome: 4:30
We're Not Gonna Take It: 6:40
See Me, Feel Me: 3:22
See? You can still keep all the major plot points and keep it down to 12 songs.

Sorry, had to
I'd think especially "You Really Got Me" is one of those songs almost everyone likes!

I'm sure they'll both be awesome! .png "B)")
I'm not as familiar with the Small Faces as the others, but I love "Itchycoo Park" (especially the mono version with the flanger effect)! .png ":)")
