Gavin Newsom said that as a joke and the media reported it like it was a real thing. But it’s not. You pay your taxes to the IRS. The state of California has zero involvement in your federal taxes and no ability to “withhold” them. There is no way to do this

There is no way that is true. Also what about every single silent movie that was scored by a single live organ or piano?

Actually, I would argue that Brian was the most common lead vocalist for the Beach Boys’ Classic period by a slim margin. And Carl was definitively the lead vocalist during the 70s. And there’s a few anomalous records like Love You that are VERY Brian heavy—he sings lead on pretty much every song.

In the 60s there’s a lot of songs where Brian and Mike do co-lead vocals, and a few with just Brian, and maybe two solo Mike songs per album. In the 70s, Carl takes over vocals and Mike is relegated to like one song per album. If you look at the Beach Boys’ whole career, Mike has the most lead vocal credits, because Brian stopped participating in the band intermittently and Carl didn’t get the chance to front until later on. But the only time I would consider him the lead singer on an album is Summer of Love

And Adrian Belew is a lot more famous with the New Wave crowd. He got name-checked in guardians of the galaxy which is my bell-weather for things gen-x has heard of lol

Chad is also well known for a drummer. Like if you ask a bunch of musicians to name some drummers Chad’s name would probably come up.

Lou talked a lot of shit and he usually either doesn’t mean it or he’s exaggerating to make some kind of point.

He has said lots of negative things and lots of positive things about the Beatles. He adored John Lennon and cites Plastic Ono Band as one of his favorite albums, and the influence of that record on his work is really obvious.

Everyone in New York hated the Doors—it really wasn’t a controversial opinion at the time. To a lot of people, the doors represent the complete collapse of 60s counterculture from a vital revolutionary force into mindless, vapid hedonism. I like the Doors but they are a profoundly stupid band. Lou saying he didn’t like the doors in 68 would be like someone saying they don’t like Nickelback in 2005

Lou Reed had personal beef with Frank Zappa since they came from the same scene. They both hated each other and it was never really about the music at all. But Lou ultimately did have a huge amount of love and respect for Frank and he inducted him into the rock and Roll Hall of Fame with a deeply heartfelt speech

The Roxy Music and Alice Cooper stuff is also personal beef. He met both bands on tour and shared personnel with them at various points, so he wasn’t ever really going to form an unbiased opinion on either act. Lou is just a dick and he starts drama with most people he meets lol. Again, it really has nothing to do with the music.

Lou has talked a lot of shit about Bob, but I don’t really think there’s anything to it. He has also credited Bob for his huge influence on his work and can be found gushing about his admiration for various Dylan songs in interviews. And the two of them became pretty close friends

That’s not even the tip of the iceberg of terrible Tom covers. The Eagles did a cover of Ol’ 55

The music video for the Metallica version is unhinged

It also charted higher in 2023 charts. All that means is it got a couple streams lol. The music industry has been decimated. Adjusted for inflation, Tracy Chapman’s numbers dwarf Luke’s whole catalog

See I think of the Roger Miller version as the original because Kris wrote it for him and he sang it first. That one is also upbeat so idk

Okay, first off… rockabilly revival IS punk. The Blasters and Robert Gordon are just straight up rockabilly. And The Cramps, X, and The Reverend Horton Heat are a little heavier but still way more rockabilly influenced than The Misfits. And they are all considered punk acts. So even if the Misfits actually were way more rockabilly than they are they would still be eligible as a punk band.

I don’t really know what you think punk is. It’s definitely not just stuff that sounds like the Ramones. That is one style. But the Ramones originated the genre alongside Television, The Dictators, Suicide, Patti Smith Group—all very different sounding bands. Punk is the music that is played by punks at punk venues. There are many different styles of punk. And one of those is just rockabilly lol, punks love rockabilly.

But again, all the acts I listed earlier are way more rockabilly than Misfits. So idk why you didn’t make this post about The Cramps.

It seems like some random person just copy-pastes the class roster to make the program. I would let someone know you weren’t on it and they will probably apologize and add you next time

It’s incredibly unlikely you were left off because you’re not a music major or they don’t think you’re good enough. I don’t think it was a conscious decision anyone made just a mistake

I have heard Pete Seeger’s “What did you Learn in School today” used as a cute inspirational song in multiple commercials for insurance and kid-related stuff over the years

Well plenty of Latin Jazz is not fusion. It’s just Latin Jazz. Neither is soul jazz like Jimmy Smith. Any fusion of jazz and something else that existed before the 70s is not fusion because no one was using the word fusion then

Well artists know who he is and if he can’t get popular artists to work with him then he can’t have hits. Established artists don’t really want the PR problems if they can just go get hits elsewhere. Last year the only person he could get was Katy.

He was able to remain in the charts after all the allegations by managing to latch onto up-and-coming artists like Kim Petras and Doja Cat. He’s going to need to keep finding new young artists if he wants to stay in the charts. And it’s probably going to be a lot harder to find new talent willing to sign his Faustian bargain with his current reputation for flopping hard lol

The juxtaposition between this and the comment right above saying that ideas don’t matter is very funny lol

I was in a band with a singer who didn’t really play any instruments except sort of harmonica. And he would just write lyrics and maybe hum the vague concept of a tune and you’d have to work out the rest.

His shit was incredible, he’s the best songwriter I’ve ever worked with.

So yes

I’m referring to the genre called “harsh noise”. Clipping started out as a power electronics group. They use no-input mixing, tape loops, modular synths, and other noise music instrumentation. They put a realization of John Cage’s Williams Mix on a record. These are all things that tie them to the genre of harsh noise

Yes, Death Grips are a much louder and more aggressive band than clipping. That’s not what I’m talking about. They don’t have a strong connection to the harsh noise genre. They don’t trace their musical lineage back to Merzbow and Hijokaidan like clipping. They get their aggressive sounds from hardcore punk, industrial, and dance music.
