i understand the whole “joost’s sudden popularity is so weird and wild to watch as a dutch person” perspective but its also kinda wacky from my perspective in the sense that im not a dutch person, but i became interested in the netherlands pre joost. however i am still looking at the netherlands from an outsider perspective, so its like when i look up his lyrics i understand some references he makes to his dutch upbringing but obviously not all. even then i have had experience with suddenly having an interest in a country and because its the netherlands im almost going. been there. done that. but i see you

just got done with the jaws concert!! they played mostly their album songs, with dive back in time and vortex being the only link click songs and vortex as the encore song. it was really small, with maybe 30 - 40 people attending the concert, so everyone was invited to get signatures + pictures with the band and talk with them for a little :-) very intimate space and night <33

Muser questions: #17?

17. Dan or Morgan?

Honestly, Morgan. Dan's the one I've properly seen live, just because I was so far at the back during the last (ST) tour that I could barely tell who was who in the band, and really, they were only distinguishable from 1) Matt's ridiculous LED sunglasses and 2) the fact that Dom was in fact, behind a drum kit :P And Morgan prefers to stay in the background anyway, so I barely saw him. :/

Dan obviously lets Muse be the star of their own show too, but I think you feel his presence more on stage? And he also had a lovely moment at a Muse show where he proposed to his partner! And that's always going to be a part of the Muse family history, which is super sweet.

I can't say that musically Dan is a better or worse fit with Muse than Morgan, because he does what he does well, and iirc he also helped with mixing Won't Stand Down and the band were quite happy with that (separate discussion about what fans thought of those BMTH-like verses, but it sounds like that's what the band wanted in the first place), so I reckon he's got what Muse need.

But I think it's just the history and tradition that make me pick Morgan! How many other people are responsible for my knee-jerk reaction to any time anyone mentions any sort of shaking percussion instrument:

[ID: "'It's not a shaker, it's a cabasa!' —Morgan Nicholls speaks out against fan ignorance", a classic taken from the Muse message boards]

If Morgan decides he does want to tour with Muse again, I'll miss Dan but be really happy to see Morgan again. I hope he isn't fully done with Muse, he was in the crowd at the final London shows of the tour!

Also, I'm just a fan of Senseless Things, what can I tell ya :)

I'm so bad at making playlists because I will literally put any song that sets off the fancam or the AMV in my brain into the playlist. Does it actually have anything to do with the character/ship in question lyric wise? No, but I thought of a cool scene with them involved when I heard it SO. Now it's in the playlist. Same reason why 50% of any given playlist is made up of OSTs or other such instrumental tracks -

me when the song mentions retribution and love (i can twist it into LOVE) and time repeating and then i can reach for the song to be about dust. me when the song mentions a dependence on others and wanting to get rid of emotions and manipulation and then i can pretend the song was made for killer. me when the song mentions food themes and rebellion and cooperation in a bad world and i can delude myself into believing the song was for horror. me if making everything about the murder time trio was a competition

okay first of all was anyone going to tell me that ac/dc is an australian band. and second of all was anyone else going to tell me that they're apparently colloquially referred to as "acca dacca" in australia

[sinha-ri]

Songs when they're mainly sung in english but right in the middle they hit you with their native language and it fucks so hard

glee song came on the radio and I started singing and my mom was surprised I even knew it but I was literally imagining the scene in my head (ask of shame)

LMAO SO PROUD WHICH SONG

[fauna-and-floraa]

Objectively very funny to me that I started listening to stray kids with absolutely zero knowledge they had 2 Australians in the group, literally just saw a mutual post one of their songs and listened to it and was like "Oh that was so fun!" And then for the next month I was listening to some of their songs on and off and it wasn't until I heard Muddy Water that I went on my twitter like "Hoh, this guy really sounds Australian" and immediately, and I mean *immediately* 2 people were on my post like THERE ARE 2 AUSSIES IN THE GROUP JESSIE. YOURE FUCKIN AUSTRALIAN, HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW? and I was just 🧍‍♀️
