I find myself not being able to use normal social media because of the content and fast pace so I'm going to attempt to become acclimated with tumblr again. I've been on and off the site since I was in middle school and now I'm almost 24. Would be nice to meet people with niche interests and hobbies.

Interests:

Books (Kafka and Salinger at the moment).

Movies (I try to be open towards anything, classics, criterion, arthouse, blockbusters. I've been revisiting the classics lately. Last movies I enjoyed were Mikey and Nicky and Sweet Smell of Success)

Music (I love anything from the Beatles, noisy proto-grunge bands, weird tape rips or Brazilian pop, etc. Right now I'm having a power pop phase. I generally love being introduced into new stuff.

Hobbies (Playing guitar, learning about new things, being compulsive by writing, reading, drawing, writing snail mail to penpals)

Other social media:

If you happen to stumble upon here don't hesitate to send me a message! Please, I don't want my only mutual to be cheezbot.

help I forgot I was supposed to post. More Marianne and David on October 19, 1973 at the Marquee Club in London- as I said previously, his last performance as Ziggy Stardust.

Sheila - Bang Bang (1966) Written by Sonny Bono in 1966 and originally performed by Cher (it was the second single from her second album), this cover, while not as famous as the one made by Nancy Sinatra, has it's own distinctive personality. The theme of heartbreak and longing seems to have slightly more kick to it in when rendered in French. Unnecessary history: the theme of the song was inspired by Sonny Bono watching kids playing, running around pretending to shoot one another.

OK. here we go. MATCHUPS! notes + text version under the cut

poll starts Sunday (Dec. 17th) now live !! links under the cut

Jimi Hendrix vs. Jimmy Page Phil Ochs vs. Lou Reed Janis Joplin vs. Jim Morrison Debbie Harry vs. Leonard Cohen Paul McCartney vs. Eric Andersen Syd Barrett vs. Bob Dylan Norma Tanega vs. Levon Helm Chuck Berry vs. Dusty Springfield Ronnie Spector vs. Cher Davy Jones vs. George Harrison John Lennon vs. Joni Mitchell Lesley Gore vs. Graham Nash Nancy Sinatra vs. Françoise Hardy Joan Baez vs. Ringo Starr Nick Drake vs. Margo Guryan Dolly Parton vs. Stevie Nicks

SO. i did try to balance around popularity and how well-known an artist is because (from my experience) people do tend to vote for the person they happen to know regardless of poll theme... but as i was sorting this i realized that, wow, a lot of these guys are INSANELY well known. it was hard to just outright avoid wild matchups in round 1, they were kind of inevitable.

(also, before anyone says it, i am aware that debbie harry/blondie is more 80s... she was technically musically active in the 60s and i just straight up missed it while checking artists i didn't know, but that's entirely on me)

Bee Gees - Idea (Atco, US Cover, 1968) - Design and illustration by Klaus Voormann

For the US release, Atco hired Voormann to illustrate this composite head of each of the group members. Presumably Atco wasn't impressed by the light bulb cover and wanted something more elaborate. Which makes you wonder why Polydor didn't just use this one for all future re-releases.
