“Peter, My name is Scott and I’m 37 years old. I was wondering, as you look back on your experience in the 1960’s, how much of the political and social ideas of the youth movement and counter culture are still valid today and whether or not you feel the same about those ideas now as you did back then. Scott” “Dear Scott, I won’t go nearly so far as to say that everything that came up in the 60’s was valid, but as far as I'm concerned, the 60’s were to what will come as Greece was to democracy. Remember that in the 60’s the political officeholders had lost all touch with the needs of the nation…kind of like the Bush administration now. Back then the voice of the establishment, Life magazine, was discovered to have doctored photos falsely indicating that LSD caused chromosomal damage. That proved what we (then) kids already knew: that those at the top preached fair play and honesty, but had no more need to honor those concepts than what would give them the next dollar without too much trouble. We saw perfectly clearly that we were on our own, that no one in authority cared about us. Now, like any bunch of kids left to their own devices, some, many, went off the rails. Every false step by somebody walking around under the cloak of the liberal hippy 60’s was used as a pretext for dissing the entire generation. Those of us who were truly interested in liberty, fraternity and equality, however, knew we were onto something good and real. What had been called democracy was, and to some extent still is, a pretext for wrapping the will of the greedy and aggressive in a mantle of public acquiescence. Now, the business of wresting power away from those who make a specialty of wielding it will be a long and protracted struggle, with a lot of setbacks along the way. The outlines of the new style of governance are only dimly perceivable, and won't become clear for a long time to come. In the meantime, our job is to practice the principles of fairness and service to the extent possible. One thing is clear: there is a much higher joy in service than there is in acquisition of wealth. (Remember that it isn't money that's the root of all evil, it’s the love of money.) Hanging together in brother - and sisterhood is so happy-making you want to sing right out loud. Yeah, I feel the same about those ideas as I did then…in case you couldn’t tell. heheheh, Peter” - Ask Peter Tork, 2008
“It’s only fear, lies and bad leadership that keeps us all from loving each other and from seeing each other clearly and purely with the eye of the mind and the love of the heart.” - Peter Tork, 16 Magazine, December 1968

if peter tork had been crucified in the 70s mike (during his crucifixion in the 90s or early 00s) would have insisted on being crucified upside down since he hated peter and was so dissimilar to him and should not be considered worthy to die in the same way. subscribe for more monkees bible facts

ethan. i chose whatever music asks you haven’t done yet.
hi kieren im kind of obsessed with u. there are a lot that i havent done but some of them i cant be bothered to answer/genuinely cannot answer or the answer is just no so here's the ones i like <3
Do you listen to more oldies or more current stuff? A mix of both but leaning more to oldies, the majority of my favourite songs and artists are either from the 60s & 70s era, or the 90s & 00s era <3
Would you wear a t-shirt of a band you're not into? Probably not, even if the design is cool i only wear band tshirts if i care abt the band. But if someone gave me an artist tshirt as a gift, i’d wear it AND listen to the artist it depicts 👍
Is there an artist or song that you like, despite being of a genre you don't usually like? I like all genres i don't discriminate. i’m bisexual
A song or album from the 50s or earlier: this compilation album of old japanese pop 1950-1951… discovered through mash playlists
A song or album from the 60s: 1-800-are-you-experienced by jimi hendrix 1967 :)
A song or album from the 70s: Born to run by BRUCIE 1975 raaaagghhhhhh
A song or album from the 80s: King of rock by run-dmc 1985 💪💥
A song or album from the 90s Call the doctor by sleater-kinney 1996
A song or album from the 2000s: Cheap pop for the elite by kore. ydro., 2006
A song or album from the 2010s: TRANSANGELIC EXODUS BY EZRA FURMAN 2018. GOAT
Do you and your partner/best friend share a special song? One you’d call “our song”? unfortunately for my boyfriend and i it is the predatory wasp of the palisades is out to get us by sufjan stevens which is indicative of how normal we both are
Do you play any instruments? I’ve been “learning” the bass for about 2 years but havent made much progress but i can do basic riffs and improvise a little
Who’s your favorite fictional band or artist? Marceline The Vampire
When was the last time you cried when listening to a song, if ever? I couldn’t tell you the last time a song made me properly cry but i sort of cried listening to come on in yesterday because i was having a category 5 peter tork moment
Your favorite artist from your city/state/country? At the moment its marina spanou and based on her lyrics i think she is literally from the same area of athens as me <3
A song you like in a language you don’t speak:
A song you like with lyrics in two or more languages:
songs that are symbolic of a time when i was literally and without exaggeration in the trenches. korean & english
Do you enjoy musicals? If so, what’s your favorite? Top 5: fiddler on the roof, jesus christ superstar, newsies, les miserables, hadestown.
Have you watched any musician’s biopics? Do you have a favorite? I’M NOT THERE DIRECTED BY TODD HAYNES MY NUMBER 1 ☝️ even if i am not the biggest bob dylan girl out there i fucking love that movie so much
Do you listen to music when it's raining or do you stop to hear the sound of the rain? Im answerin this question cos i like it. If its raining really hard i take out my headphones and turn my music up so i can hear it out loud blended with the sound of the rain <3
Do you prefer live recordings or studio recordings? LIVE RECORDINGS ARE MY BEST FRIENDS. I dont know if i prefer them but theres something so comcorting and beautiful of hearing live stuff so yeah <3
Okay these were the questions i cared about. thank you i love you . heheheheh

ok so @sigmastolen tagged me in this weeks ago and i was like "i should do that!" and then. didn't
until now!!!!!!! surprise here i am i don't believe in tag expiration dates and you don't have to either >:)
Last song listened to: Michael Torke's Psalms and Canticles. i think there are a lot of bangers in it even if it doesn't quite stick the ending, and i think there is some fantasy alternate universe me that winds up performing this someday
Currently reading: to kill time at work, The Man in the Brown Suit by Agatha Christie. outside of working hours, the Opies' Language and Lore of Schoolchildren, altho there "skimming" is perhaps more accurate since i'm not like, that invested in reading every local variation in a schoolyard rhyme from 1956. still some interesting stuff in there, and also interesting to see rhymes that i remember from my 90s Childhood™ being cited as already generations old 70+ years ago. children's lore is wild!
Currently watching: with my husband: Los Espookys when HBO cooperates and Brooklyn 99 when it doesn't. when he's not around, random YouTube videos, some Breaking Bad, and also the BBC Poirot show from the 80s/90s/00s (it had a long run)
Currently obsessed with: finishing the formatting on this siddur so i can finally release it and be free sorry this is a boring answer it is just eating my brain alive
Tagging: @nicethighsnicereyes, @onlysunscreen, @basically-agatha-cromwell, @hippo-pot, @masala-and-thunderstorms if you feel like it!

Michael Torke - One Note After Another.
Michael Torke has a bunch of these notes that are presently driving me wild. He is a contemporary classical composer. That doesn’t mean he’s dead. Or that he has ruffled cuffs and a receding hairline. Or that everyone who appreciates him has white hair and a 9:00 pm bedtime like I do. Okay. His hair has receded. He’s probably working this very moment, while we’re here hanging out on Paswonky.…

Anyways, here’s the image

"You Just May Be the One" (first recorded version)
Written by Michael Nesmith
Lead vocals: Michael Nesmith
Harmony vocals: Micky Dolenz
Guitars/dano basses: Peter Tork, James Burton, Glen Campbell, Al Casey, Mike Deasey
Bass: Robert West
Drums: Hal Blaine, Jim Gordon
Percussion: Gene Estes, Frank DeVito
Piano: Larry Knechtel
Recorded at RCA Victor Studios, Hollywood, California; July 18, 1966 (8:00 p.m.-12:00 a.m.)
Producer: Michael Nesmith
The song features the doubling of regular bass with Danelectro or "dano" bass; the dano bass' distinctive twang gave Nesmith's 1966 tracks a country flavor. The doubling of bass proved difficult to master as some 35 takes were needed before the backing track was completed.
The song was featured on three first-season episodes of The Monkees: "The Chaperone," "One Man Shy," and "Monkees a La Mode."
One of my favorites. There’s a version where Mike starts the track by saying something like “This is thirty, do you believe that?” I can’t seem to find that one, now, but I know it’s out there somewhere. The session one backing track shows the trouble they had trying to get the two basses to mingle properly.

"[O]ne thing I have discovered in recent years is that I suffer from Asperger's syndrome — a form of autism. There is a fanaticism and obsessiveness about me and my actions that appear to bear this out."

Hibrit motorlu yeni Suzuki Across, RAV4'ün ikizi olmaya geldi
Suzuki, yakında Avrupa pazarında satışa sunacağı yeni şarj edilebilir hibrit (PHEV) SUV modelini tanıttı. Yukarıda da belirttiğimiz gibi iki üretici arasındaki anlaşma kapsamında RAV4 PHEV’i temel alan Suzuki Across, ön bölümündeki kozmetik dokunuşlar sayesinde kendini belli ediyor. Bu alanda ince LED farlar, büyük bir altıgen ızgara ve sis farlarını çevreleyen, ızgarayla aynı detaylara sahip sahte hava girişleri dikkat çekiyor. Yine Suzuki Across’u ikizinden ayırt etmemizi sağlayan alaşım jantların çapı da 19 inç. İç mekanda ise direksiyondaki Suzuki logosu ve dijital gösterge paneli dışında neredeyse her şey aynı. Konu sadece logo ve ufak bir tasarım değişikliği olunca haliyle kaputun altındaki motor seçeneği de aynı oluyor. Bu kapsamda Suzuki Across’ta da 173 beygirlik 2.5 litre dört silindirli benzinli ünite, iki elektik motoru ve 18.1 kWh’lık batarya kombinasyonundan oluşan bir sistem bulunuyor. Öndeki elektrik motoru 180 beygir, arkadaki ise 54 beygir güç üretiyor. Suzuki aracın toplam gücünü açıklamadı fakat biz bu kombinasyonun 302 beygir güç ürettiğini RAV4’ten biliyoruz. Japon markanın iddiasına göre Suzuki Across, saf elektrikli sürüş modunda WLTP’ye göre 75 kilometre menzil sunuyor. Araçta bulunan E-Four adındaki elektronik dört tekerlekten çekiş sistemi, tork dağılımının ön/arka akslar arasında 100:00 ve 20:80 oranları arasında değişmesine imkan veriyor. Read the full article
