[kaz-oooo]

Seen some people talking about Lovejoy and Wilbur Soot’s music and feeling very upset about letting go of those songs since they brought a lot of comfort and joy.

I’m not gonna tell you what you should and shouldn’t do. I think it’s ultimately up to you to decide if you want to continue listening to Wilbur’s music or not. What I am gonna do is list some alternative artists that I either think have similar vibes or I know Wilbur / Lovejoy had cited as inspirations so you guys can find some new tunes without stepping too far out of you comfort zone.

(Also feel free to tag on and add your own suggestions as well, the more the merrier)

Lovejoy

Arctic Monkeys — when Wilbur started the band he claimed he wanted to be like the Arctic Monkeys one day. I’ve also described a lot of their later music as being very similar to Arctic Monkeys, so if you like Wake Up and It’s over and Normal People Things then you’d love them

Los Campansino’s — Wilbur has stated before that this is his favourite band so.. very likely big inspiration for his music. Lovejoy did a cover of Knee Deep at ATP, their version is a bit more chill than the original. I’m a big Los Campansino’s fan honestly, but for stuff Lovejoy related I’ve say the albums “Sick Scenes” and “Romance Is Boring” would have the most appeal.

Wet Leg — just a good band that I think has a similar vibe, especially with themes and funky tunes. Also I’ve seen Wilbur list them in his personal playlists before so he enjoys them as well

Good Kid — not a personal favourite of mine, but their songs have similar vibes and they toured with Lovejoy as well so Lovejoy enjoy their music.

James Marriot — (editing Kaz here.. not gonna change the phrasing of this part but I’ve been told James Marriott has unfollowed Wilbur on Twitter) friend of Wilbur’s (do with that information as you will) excellent musician and would heartily recommend his music if you haven’t listened already. Also worked very closely with the band before, especially in the early days so I wouldn’t doubt they’ve influenced each others music quite a bit

MSR and YCGMA

100gecs and other hyperpop artists — admittedly not a genre I listen to a lot, but if you liked Dropshipped Cat Shirt, especially the ending, then you’ll vibe with this genre a lot.

Jack Stauber — Wilbur’s been a longtime fan of his music, it’s a bit weird and silly on a surface level but nice and miserable as well. If you like MSR I’d recommend.

Crywank — helped Wilbur with producing MSR, plus I think Wilbur took some heavy inspiration from them as well. If you like miserable music you’ll love Crywank. (Also Lovejoy did a cover of privately owned, so if you liked that go check out the original)

More Los Campansino’s — ok.. I’m repeating bands now, but I’m recommending different albums this time! “We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed” “Hello Sadness” and “No Blues”

Peach Pit — again, not a favourite of mine but they have nice chill vibes and the songs I’ve listened to are just as miserable as these albums.

Beabadoobee — once again, not someone I listen to a lot, but definitely got the same chill acoustic music as YCGMA especially, Lovejoy had done a cover of The Perfect Pair so if you liked that, and you like these albums you’d like beabadoobee.

E-girl Trilogy / comedy music

Bo Burnham — another favourite artist of Wilbur’s, someone else he’s cited as an inspiration and top tier comedy tunes! If you like Wilbur’s sadder music as well you’d definitely enjoy Inside. Otherwise his older music is great and very fun!

Lemon Demon — probably not an inspiration for Wilbur’s comedy music, but he’s definitely listened to it, it’s very fun and silly, also Ranboo highly recommends (as do I)

Other recommendations

Modern Baseball — found this band through Wilbur’s recommendations, they’re very fun and cool. Very Midwest emo, a genre that I think inspired MSR.

The Front Bottoms.. but with a warning — so I’m not super familiar with the story, but from memory a former member abused a fan, they aren’t apart of the band anymore but the current members handled the situation very poorly. This was another favourite band of Wilbur’s and I get why, very emotional and angsty. I find their lyrics hit a bit harder than Modern Baseball’s but they make very similar music.

AJJ — kinda similar to Crywank, another band I found through Wilbur’s recommendation.

Radiohead / the smiths / the cure / the strokes / just 70’s and 80’s alt rock bands — Wilbur definitely enjoys this music and took inspiration here and they’re all very cool and fun. I’m not super familiar with these bands but I know a lot from this time have good old controversies so be mindful of that, but yeahhh good music!

I don’t know how but the found me — alt/indie rock band with very fun tunes! Sits alongside Wilbur’s comedy music and Lovejoy in my playlists a lot of the times so.. if you like those two you’d probably like this band :) also Dallon Weekes deserves all the love in the world, all his former bandmates (Brendon Urie and Ryan Seaman) keep fucking him over.

Cavetown — not sadboy acoustic like YCGMA but very chill and good acoustic tunes nonetheless. Also a bit similar to Beabadoobee so if you like that you’ll like this :) oh also, i know a lot of people liked Lovejoy cos they gave off a lot of aromantic vibes, Cavetown is openly Aro / Ace so.. lots of aro vibes in his music :D

Yotam Perel — Wilbur used his music in the background of his streams, typically the album "Nice Snakes" but he used "A Long List of Short Songs" as well. It's great background music honestly, some songs have entered my top 100 playlists on spotify, but yeah, if you liked the funky tunes in the back of the geoguessr streams, this is what he played

[erythromanc3r]

I'd like to ask 31, 32, and 57 for the ask game! 🤍

Thank you for the ask!!!

31. 3 favorite boy names

oh it’s funny you ask cuz….👉👈

(I’M JOKING I AM SOOO JOKING IMAGINE BREAKING PREGNANCY NEWS TO TUMBLR BEFORE ANYONE ELSE. ABSURD.)

but this is something that’s been on my mind lately!! For reasons! My favorite/preferred boy name is definitely Levi. My husband and I have toyed around with the idea of naming a boy Ronald James because that’s both our fathers’ names AND one of my husband’s favorite artists ever is Dio. We’d just call him RJ if that was the name we chose. The third one I like best is probably Spencer!

32. 3 favorite girls names

I love the names Stefania, Lydia, or Valerie…baby names are definitely fun to think about but if something sounds almost TOO precious or self-indulgent I try really hard to remember that a baby won’t be a baby forever, and if everything goes beautifully, this human being will eventually have to send out resumes with the name I gave them on top of it. So like. It’s something to think about.

57. do you take shampoo and conditioner bottles from hotels? 

YES because I’m pretty sure they just throw those away if you don’t, and it’s good to have on hand if you’re ever traveling or just run out of body wash! The best I’ve ever taken were from the JW Marriot because everything smelled like something you’d get at a really nice spa.

[ghosts-and-blue-sweaters]

Wait, wait, wait, Ghost!

I just realized that the two main artists/bands you talk about are AJR and Lovejoy, and there's this character from one of my main fandoms (Tim Drake from DC, if you want to know), and I kinda just personify his music taste as AJR and Lovejoy.

ALL OF THIS TO SAY.

Do you have any other artists/songs that are similar to Lovejoy and AJR? I'm not super familiar with music of that drama other than it kinda deals with existentialism (basically, nothing matters, let's do stuff about it, let's give it a meaning) and absurdism (nothing matters, we can do whatever we want, yolo). My two years of Lit classes are coming in clutch randomly.

Have a great day!

Ooooh, okay, this is a fun question :D

Here’s a list of songs I find similar to AJR and/or Lovejoy!!

Blunders - The Polar Boys

Maybe IDK - Jon Bellion

Blu - Jon Bellion

Morning In America - Jon Bellion

Burning Pile - Mother Mother

Spring And A Storm - Tally Hall

Nobody Likes The Opening Band - I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME

Grapes - James Marriot

Do It All The Time - I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME

Scrawny - Wallows

So Alright, Cool, Whatever - The Happy Fits

Choke - I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME

Passing Through - Kaden MacKay

Introductionary Post

Look at that, I finally updatet my introducionary post!

I'm a bisexual person called Apfel/Apple who uses they/he/she pronouns :)

I really like to read, even though I read way more fanfiction than books these days (omg I'm so quirky /j). One of my favourite books is I was born for this and I will talk about it.

Sometimes I even write some mediocre fanfiction myself: @Apfel07 on ao3

I also listen to music almost 24/7, here are some artists I like:

-Joker Out (I have been obsessed with them since may and i will scream about them a lot on here)

-Tonbandgerät (a german pop band that I doubt anyone here knows)

-Lovejoy

-James Marriot

I also like a bunch of other things, like:

-Tatort Saarbrücken

-die drei Fragezeichen

I am pretty sure that there is something going on with my brain but I'm not diagnosed.

I'm also in a queerplatonic relationship, if I talk about my girlfriend/boyfriend/partner that is my queerplatonic partner :) He uses he/it for context.

Okay yeah, I'll probably update this again soon.

Bye :)

10. you have to get a lyric tattoo — which lyric is it?

But I know that it will fall

The crumbling walls

And it's all that is left to me

Everything Everything // Good Kid

17. describe your favorite song without telling me the title

okay so like lyrics wise: everyone is dead and the protagonist is the last person alive and they're in mayan ruins and its about like everything ending and also its kinda a metaphor for the inevitability of death me thinks and oh my fucking god i love it smm the angst in that song omg i could scream best song of all time also vibe/melody etc wise its quite similar to their other songs and really upbeat w a steady drum beat but its so good skdjdnnsks (if yk the song yk)

23. how did you discover your favorite artist?

okay so i have like 3 fave artists and i cant pick between them: lovejoy, good kid, and phoneboy

i found lovejoy cause one of my friends is v v neurodivergent about them and i tried some of their songs and it was rly good

and then they put good kid in a playlist that we share w some other friends too and i liked them so i listened to more of them and became obsesed

then spotify kept playing this song by phoneboy (idk which one it was) and eventually i was like fuck it ill try their other songs this ones cool

and i got obsesed w them too

and now i have a playlist w all of them (plus wilburs pre lovejoy songs also james marriot and theyre both cool but im not neurodivergent about them yk)

[taigacryptid]

earlier i was listening to romanticize this by james marriot (great song, great artist) and i've listened to it plenty before, but today it just really fucked me up??? its essentially a breakup song and my brain legit freaked out like because i was listening to it, i'd also experience a breakup or something similar. so now im scared of listening to breakup songs. can i not

[pupwrites]

what is your favourite artist ?? ( music artist )

singers- james marriot, maya hawke, glavie, corpse, noah finnce, wilbur soot, conan gray

bands- lovejoy, bts, stray kids, txt, enhypen, nct, lemon demon, the neighbourhood, nirvana, gorillaz,

that’s all i can think of :] also idk if bands are in that category so i just included them anyway

[scumtrout]

I feel like this is creating a false dichotomy (I have no idea who tf James Marriot is, but I feel like 'this is about AVOIDING MAKING ART' is a criticism that could also be levelled at photography, collage art, Marcel Duchamp's Fountain, etc., so there's a lot to unpack there about whether the intent of the artist matters more than the tools used by the artist, or whether the use of any given tool does not mean that someone exempt from thinking critically about that tool) however I would like to state for the record that when/if I get a dog, I will be naming them Noam Chompsky.
