We as a society don't talk enough about the welcome to the black parade Steve Aoki 10th anniversary remix because what the actual fuck was that

PLEASEEEE you cannot convince me that Poseidon going "in all my years of living, it isn't very often that i get pissed off" isnt the same thing as your elementary teacher going "in my 20 years of teaching, i have never had a less well behaved class".

it's immensely funny to me how andrew lloyd webber read this passage from the book and was like yeah the journey down to the phantom's lair is this really breathtaking magical gondola ride where christine is just captivated by the strange and fantastical beauty of it all (see below)

when in the novel they're both like in a rowboat in the dark with christine scared out of her mind and confused as hell while erik is paddling like he's out for an extreme day of fishing and just staring christine down for the entire duration of the journey without blinking once . like mind you his eyes quite literally GLOW in the DARK and he's just fucking staring into her soul and silently rowing and probably not even breathing like

Is this stupid? Yes. Do I need people to see it? Also yes.

random thought bc I've been listening to Six on repeat: the queens claim that the only reason they're remembered is because of Henry, but would Henry be one of the most iconic and well-known English monarchs if not for them?

What Is Life is a good song but it's never not going to make me laugh a little bit because in my world "What Is Life" is something you say when something that's very bad but bad in a bizarre way happens and you don't know how to process it. If you spill sangria in your keyboard and get electrocuted by your computer and have to call your ex to drive your drunk ass to the emergency room because you have no other friends, you might sit there in the awkward silence and think "what is life." And in another world George Harrison wrote a song about that.

Through a chain of events I discovered Joel’s Super Ghostbusters album the other day at work and I need to talk about it.

My initial impression was that it’s so fucking bad. One of the worst things I’ve ever heard. However, it also made me laugh so hard I legitimately had tears in my eyes, and the suddenly fast and loud part of Gheestobesto (the “nutbusters” one) is what tipped it over the edge, so idk what that says about me. (The MIDI trumpet pulls a lot of the weight for me in the “heehee funny noises” category, because I am a simple woman who will laugh without fail at an unexpected Fart With Reverb. The “lyrics” are already ridiculous, and then you’ve also got this thing honking in the back.)

Upon re-listen, I have looped around into the opinion that Super Ghostbusters is a legitimate piece of art. I’m not sure what category of art, but it transcends the bounds of just music. There’s no more than a second’s rest to process what you’ve just heard between tracks. It is 21 straight minutes of auditory assault. It simultaneously has very little effort and excessive effort put into it, even excluding the actual metal cover (which is clearly high-effort). There are a few places where he laughs before finishing the track and chose to leave it in, or where it was clearly bad improv, but there’s also a good amount of editing done to it, and shit like the sudden text-to-speech milk definition, so there was deliberate choice about what to leave shitty. I do not know how he managed to pull that balance off, and I’m not sure I’ve ever heard anything comparable.

And this is a man who knows how to make legitimate music, which I think is what was making me lose my mind the most. Like he absolutely knows how to use these tools, and this is how he’s choosing to use them. It’s incredible. I don’t really know how to put it into words. The album is an experience unlike any other, 10/10, highly recommended.

That fucking MIDI plays in my head when idle and seeing milk in my fridge now triggers Ghostbatista to start playing.

I personally really like the segment from 09:35 (track 12 - Ghostbatista) through 13:39 (track 15 - Gheistbest). I think it encompasses most of my points pretty well.

But anyways I have destroyed my youtube suggestions and the algorithm doesn’t know what to do for me anymore.

The "Americanization of the global internet" post and slow deterioration of local native culture gave me an idea: many users don't even know there is native language communities on this website, so if you know of a regional group/"subculture" on Tumblr, reblog/comment with the tags they use so people can find them and connect with other folks from their countries or speakers of a language they'd like to learn

I will try to update this post with every new addition to hopefully make a comprehensive list of Tumblr regional communities

Edit July 29th: the post has reached a point where Tumblr won't let me add any more links, so from now on all tags are plain text to make it fair
