[star-spangled-man]

sorry I can’t go out tonight, I’ll be listening to labour - the cacophony, yes it’s gonna be a whole thing

[thepinkseashell]

what a time to be alive is a terrible song because patrick puts a gun to my head and forces me to drop whatever i'm doing and dance for 3 minutes and 42 seconds

[skitskatdacat63]

During the 2020 shut-in era, I basically only listened to Coldplay and god the amnt of emotional nostalgia I get from listening to their music is so

NEW COLDPLAY ALBUM OCTOBER 4TH AND A SINGLE COMING OUT JUNE 21ST JUST SO YOU GUYS KNOW !!!!!!!!!!

[afairerplace]

Calling "Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus" as my song off this album because there is just something about how quiet and stripped-back and to the point it is, especially after the so-muchness of the rest of the album (the lyrics! the production!) that is so so devastating to me

[mrschwartz]

please give me your thoughts on the submarine ep

one of the best things alex has ever done!

i love how he had most of the thing already written which just happened to work with the film. proves how his approach has always been cinematic, i feel like. like with b-sides and tlsp, bc he was hiding away from the mainstream arctic monkeys and this time also with the excuse that it was in favor of the story, i also feel like it was one of the instances he felt safe releasing some really personal stuff. i do believe his priority was servicing the story and that he did fine tune a lot of things to work with it, but the whole thing is just too genuine not to come from a real place. the songs are devastating, come on.

anyway 10/10! i love the lyrics, love the feel, all the fingerpicking, his voice is Unbelievable in its confident softness. the only alex turner vinyl that is left for me to purchase, actually, and the next on the wishlist

[seokwoosmole]

Y'all when I say, "comeback can wait! let them rest!"

I mean the artist AND my bank account and wallet😔

[tooies]

auuugh i really miss zoomlight... chimeratio's and cryptovolans's styles fit together so fucking well i love it so much.... wonder if they'll ever do more of it or if they are done with it

Re: your xg has you in a chokehold tag (because me too - I think both shooting star and left right have been repeated so many times on Spotify that they’re destined to be my top two songs for the year already and it’s only the first week of February) -

What do you think about how their overall concept/design/styling has ended up with the shooting star comeback now that we’ve had two weeks of stages? Obviously you liked a lot of the concept photos with the reblogs (they were so good!) so I’m curious if you think the execution of the mv/remaining content stayed at the same level or not.

big fucking mood i think left right is gonna be my top played this year simon made that song for ME! anyways got two asks about shooting star so i'm gonna put a screenshot of the other one here bc they bring up a point i wanna touch on also:

firstly: obvs they have an extremely talented creative director working for them and i suspect that their stylist/designer is probably either japanese or korean japanese, bc there's a SUPER strong early 00s harajuku/lisa frank thread in the visuals that not really any other kpop group has managed to catch in quite the same way and that is VERY authentic to the time. and i think it does really help that their executive producer (of the company and of their music) was a kid in the 00s AND was an active idol in the early 10s, so he probably has a good eye for what they're looking for visually and/or the understanding to be able to hire and communicate with a person who does. and they allocated their reasources really smartly with the mv, they put most of their emphasis on the styling and on the editing, bc a lot of what makes mvs and just video content from the 00s is the experimentation with vfx/cgi/'futuristic' visuals bc it was all new tech at the time. the nice thing about the 20yr nostalgia cycle is now all the effects that editors and directors thought they were doing in 2001 can actually be achieved much easier and in better fidelity than anyone could have dreamed. they utilize a lot of different camera angles and effects to give each of the sets more punch, including a lot of practical effects, like the mirrored buildings and all the lighting.

i do think the mv is the best part of the cb, bc it really is SO well done; i wish they had used more of the more 'out there' outfits for the music show stages, but i think it was probably a fair assessment to tone it back a little for kr promotions bc the gp tends not to react as well to stuff that's on the ''weirder'' end of fashion, esp for women. that being said i don't actually think any of the outfits from the stages were a disappointment either, they have all been extremely good, just not as ostentatious as we saw in the mv. i am VERY glad that we got a stage with the blue wigs though, bc that was one of my fave looks.

Vengeance of Ithaca -

So Vengeance Saga is out!!!! The WHOLE saga is peak, however "600 Strikes" instantly won me over as being the song I make an art piece for~

We also now know whose blood is on the Trident in the Album cover

Anywho! when I was listening to it, i imagined the storm of Poseidon being released from the bag infused with all of Odysseus men, fighting to protect him and get back at Poseidon alongside Odysseus. Like a final fantasy summon!!

I imagined him rushing out of the water with the storm and his men as his propulsion, and once landed, the spirits of his men grabbing and holding Poseidon down so he can't escape what he gets for being a butt.

as per usual, chef's kiss saga, it's my favorite rn, and I will likely make art for "Dangerous", "Charybdis", and "I'm not sorry for loving you"

Aaaaaaaaa this just arrived! ❤️ (still waiting for North to ship though)

I've had this plot bunny for a while. I love the idea of a fic where Eddie is super famous and Steve has no idea who he is, but they meet and fall in love.

Like, Steve's just walking down the street, super sick, trying to find a convenience store so he can find anything to save his drippy nose and stop his cough, when he gets accosted by some dude on the sidewalk with his phone out. The guy and his friend are rambling about the latest Spotify hits and Steve notices a second too late that he's being recorded and that there's a microphone in his face, so he kind of shakes himself awake and adjusts his glasses so he can see the phone.

The guy's all decked out like a rockstar with tattoos and piercings and tight leather everything, and he wants Steve's opinion. But the problem is that Steve doesn't listen to music or pay attention to famous anything, so he kind of recoils, because he realizes this random guy is trying to make him listen to his mixtape.

“Is it good?” Steve asks.

The guy’s friend kind of blinks at him and says, “I mean, it's Eddie Munson,” like that's supposed to mean something.

“Never heard of it,” Steve says with a shrug, and the rockstar starts laughing like a lunatic.

“Well, can you just listen? We're getting street reactions to the new album,” the guy says, offering him an airpod.

Steve sighs and sticks the thing in his ear and rolls his eyes when he instantly recognizes the whiney guitar solo Dustin won't stop playing every hour of the day.

He shrugs and says, “I've heard better.”

This completely shocks the guy. The rockstar takes it as a challenge to try and flirt, but Steve's too sick to catch on so he sits there bitching about Corroded Coffin on camera until he gets bored and ditches the interview halfway to go get his meds. Meanwhile, Eddie's ego is bruised but he's kind of in love. This sparks an internet manhunt desperately trying to find the handsome mystery man who caught the lead guitarist of Corroded Coffin's eye, and Steve being harassed by his friends when the interview goes viral.
