[squibbleink]

Here's a gift for a good friend of mine @flshtwo of their new sona, Seth the ferret! Give them a follow!

reaching out to possibly a small group here, but if any users in Europe/Sweden know where to obtain Magna Carta Cartel's Goodmorning Restrained on Vinyl/CD? I would absolutely love a copy of this album. Looking for 12" vinyl especially. It's definitely a rare find and most likely won't find it here in the US.

any online record shop recommendations will help. if they don't ship to the US, i.e, local music shops, then message me and we can arrange it having it shipped for me.

reblog to spread the word 🌛🌞

Waterparks Greatest Hits is so freaking underrated - 16 bangers and the interlude-poetry of Gladiator, I can't believe this album tanked their popularity when they were on top

I fully get the anxiety of feeling like you don’t deserve to go to a show. It comes with the whole competetive fandom stuff.

Honestly, as someone who has performed on a lot of stages with varying kinds of crowds, the most important thing isn’t if you’re the biggest fan or if you know the lyrics or some choreography or bring gifts. The thing that is the most valuable is that you go to the show to have a good time. That’s all the artists are generally looking for. That people enjoy their music, enjoy the show, are excited to be there.

Some people may be disappointed that they don’t get a ticket, sure. But it’s not you taking that ticket away from them. Not everyone can have everything. Sometime people don’t get concert tickets. That is not your fault for buying. It is a thing that happens when everyone has the right to buy concert tickets instead of them being raffeled off or gifted. If the show was just for the biggest fans, tickets would be give out as competition prices, not to the person who buys them.

And there is no right way to enjoy the show. Some superfans never learn lyrics because they don’t particularly care. Some people buy tickets to go see random artists just for the experience. Some people just love to give gifts and find that to be the best way of interacting. Your way of doing it is just as valid as all that. You don’t have to earn any right to be there, that is what the tickets are for.

And honestly, you’d be surprised by the number of people who have never even heard of an artist or band who just show up for the show because they had a day off and it could be fun. It’s not about deserving to be there. It’s about wanting to go and getting the chance to actually do that.

I don’t know if this little pep talk eases your mind at all, but I hope it does. Learning to let go of the competetive mindset and attitude when it comes to regular life stuff is a chore and a half. I just want you to know that I would love for you to go to the show.

Thank you for reaching out. I really appreciate it ❤

BY THE WAY:

Tumblrfolks might not know this but I have sent Voyager some pins like a week ago, and this is the video where they show them off.

Fav bits include: - Alex: “I’ll... “award” *laughter* the bandmates with badges of honour” - Simone’s cute little laughter not long after she got handed her “badge” - Danny: “I believe they say ačiū... *pause* *gets interrupted by a “Bless you”* Ačiū. No, not “bless you” (no one tell him he accentuated the wrong syllable) - Danny: “Voyageristas Formación”, I love it” - them complimenting me on doing my research on the pin look (teehee) - Alex: “We’ll see you on the television”

(I have anecdotal evidence of them wearing them somewhere during the Turquoise Carpet festivities (but that’s because I asked them “nicely”). I can die a happy panda now)

“He could take that thing he was singing, and just sledgehammer it through somebody’s heart,” Shinoda said with reverence. “I’ve grown to appreciate what we had even more, because it’s hard to get that. I work with people where I go, ‘Oh, can you sing it this way?’ And they just can’t.”

Brad Delson, the band’s guitarist, called “Lost” a “surprise gift” from Bennington. “The performance is so beautiful, delicate and clear,” he said. “I’ve heard a lot of great Chester vocals, and this is among the best.”

...

But the process of assembling the reissue has provided another means of considering how Bennington may have wanted the band to proceed without him. In particular, Shinoda said he “felt confident” that the singer would have endorsed these expanded editions. “Historically, he was always way more bullish about putting out stuff,” he said. “A typical Chester reaction would have been, ‘Why not just make the album 15 songs?’ When I thought about that, it was very reassuring.”

i think someone reacting to their fav artists switching it up tells a lot about them -- its hard to word, but people who feel entitled to the same sound/visuals all the time without regard for the artist and how they feel in the creation process

idk ive thought a lot about the hostility some bands/artists face when they decide to try something new, when they want to collab or do stuff with other artists -- and how some people are absolutely batshit fucking mad about it. post upon post explaining what the band should do instead to please them instead of realizing that any sort of creative things being shared is a gift.

it was very uncomfy for me the first time someone i really looked up to and followed in my teens ""sold out"" (they just went for a more poppy sound but that's how i felt back then) and did something different. but i swallowed it and got around the feeling of not connecting anymore to something that had been greatly important to me and watching how grown adults throw shitfits just. baffles me.

idk. the way creativity gets taken for granted and torn apart and consumed and then people demand more just rubs me the wrong way. i think its gotten even worse with how parasocial relationships seem to fester nowadays. it isnt healthy to expect someone to keep making the same things over and over and over because its a comfort to you.

metal singers are so serious in meet & greet photos. the entire stoker band would most likely do prom poses if you asked them to.
