"strange behavior"
Sort of eye rolling radio promotions. The fact that this one is a "K" for the Western half of the United States is interesting -- usually a familiarity bias leaves them on "W". A quick search on "KLUK" has me able to account for the station call letters as a radio station out of Needles CA from 2000 on, and I can account for it as a radio station from Evanston WY from 1953 to 1963, but otherwise I do not know -- I know there is a website full of call letter history but I do not see it.
Hey! Bruce Springsteen again. Or, Bruce Springsong. I hope there is no confusion on what the generic concert replacement is, as it would be embarrassing if whoever Archie is taking thought they were going to the Pearl Jelly concert and it turned out to be... Hm... (Who was big in the reprint period of 1991?) Jon Bonton?

listen. i love bruce springsteen. i love ethel cain. american teenager is not the new born to run. it is not born to run if it was written by a bi trans woman instead of a cis man. they are two very different songs in terms of sound and tone, and even theme-wise they run parallel to each other rather than down the same road.
a lot of ethel's music draws from/can be compared to a lot of bruce's songs, especially on his nebraska album, but i'm not seeing where people are getting the born to run comparisons from. if anything, american teenager reminds me of born in the usa if it was sung by the narrator's next-door-neighbor, a secondhand account of the suffering springsteen explores in first person in born in the usa.
also like. both of these songs can stand on their own just fine. a thing can be good on it's own without being compared to another thing.
#also another nitpick is just like#so many people being like 'american teenager is born to run updated for the modern age'#first of all#ethel cain's story as told in the album preacher's daughter#canonically takes place in 1991#it has a bit of a timeless energy#which brings me to the fact like#born to run is not out of date???#it has that timeless narration energy#and it's not even that culturally irrelevant#bruce sprinsteen released an album last year and is touring Right Now#they both sound timeless!#but ethel cain is her own artist with her own inspirations and idk#it feels kind of pandering to be like 'she's bruce springsteen but woke'#which is weird because it implies that springsteen was never revolutionary in his own sense#like he had an integrated band in the 70s! he regularly kissed a black man onstage! he plays with gender in a way that is interesting#and resonates with a lot of queer people#also it kind of feels insulting to ethel's artistry to go 'she's the trans version of [insert other artist here]!'#still not over the pitchfork review that was like 'what can ethel cain say that lana del rey hasn't already said'#like it just reduces her art to her being trans#instead of letting her music stand on its own#and while her gender identity is important#she is a good musician outside of that#and it's kind of insulting to her clear love for her art and her talent#to consolidate the value of her music to just her identity#ethel cain#bruce springsteen#born to run#preacher's daughter#american teenager

I'm nothing if not predictable
#i saw aurora and porcupine tree live this year and there's nothing like a good gig to make me listen the shit out of something#although actually by far the best gig this year was pendulum even though i'm not even really a fan#it was just insane. the pits were over 50 meters across#bruce sprinsteen is an eternal fave#everything everything's new album is fucking fire#take a wild guess about fleetwood mac.#op

Messaging around the sprinsteen movie is that it's very much not a biopic, but instead a small amount of time in his life, dealing with depression and the creation of Nebraska. (Surprise Jeremy is in a sad movie) Apparently Bruce is saving a fuller biopic to be made when he's older so? Excited to see it and whatever is next.
I’m low key thankful it’s not a full biopic because I find it very hard for a movie to do that well like. Ever. Oppenheimer is the one example I can think of when it comes to an excellent biopic that doesn’t feel rushed or missing key details, but even then it was mostly just about the Manhattan project!

@tragcdysewn said: 🎵 + 37 laurent and james (hello sunshine - bruce sprinsteen)
"you fall in love with lonely, you end up that way." laurent shrugged his shoulders. he'd been rather fond of being alone, at least in dc, but things changed. "perhaps i don't want to be lonely anymore."
