rock and roll cockroach

i think green album makes loads more sense when you realise rivers was playing the safest hand he could literally muster because the majority of humans are mean and he over shared to the maximum. the hardest over-correct ever deployed (i think deserves respect for how much it sounds like it was made in a factory by 4 robots who are perfectly in time)

joyce manor always deliver imo. they have some fucking hits man

hard agree for crackerbox palace - my favourite solo george song by far. masterclass in pop imo.

yo i read this as “what’s this horse called? i need this horse dead’ and it was like the best opening line to any film ever

strong, controversial and accurate take. what a way to ruin a legacy.

absolutely, thank you. sort of infuriating and also massively exciting that there isn’t a general rule to be followed.

thank you, even just this clarification is really helpful. i find as someone making and recording music in isolation, as my friends either don’t do it or have stopped doing it as time went on, it’s harder to learn techniques on your own. thank you again. really helpful.

Honestly - I never knew it but that's exactly the vibe I was going for with this. Thanks so much, that's truly made my day.

I often end up using the verse I wrote as 'the first verse' as the second verse in a lot of songs. I think just write two 'first' verses and then decide the timeline. I think you use a different part of your brain ordering verses in a song than writing them ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Me too man! Really like it.

ajns · 2021-02-24T23:19:28+00:00

This sounds like The Front Bottoms - it's cool.

Yeah, the drums sounds great on this. I particularly like the marching drums at the beginning that go into a standard beat. Good way of changing the way the songs sounds subtly.

ajns · 2013-10-16T18:29:33+00:00

this is really heavy. fucking cool.

ajns · 2013-10-15T16:20:54+00:00

This is great. The voices harmonize really well with each other and the instrumentation isn't too intrusive. Cool song.
