27. Grazing in the Grass by Hugh Masakela debuted Jun 68 and peaked at number one, scoring 1183 points.

Hugh was born in Wilbank, South Africa, and had four chart entries. His first, a 1967 remake of Up Up and Away, and two others 1968-69 failed to make the top 40.

The Friends of Distinction's 1969 vocal remake peaked at number three. "It's a gas. Can you dig it?"

Remember when you could unleash other peoples music taste upon the world by unplugging their headphone jack

Ingo wanted to be a Sibling and lightly prank Emmet by revealing his tunes to the break room. Not only the depot agents, but Ingo himself are shocked at what they hear. Ingo's so shocked and amused he just keeps going off like "Sea shanties!! Why not listen to rail shanties? Track-laying work songs?? 1800s train folksongs!? The betrayal! A song about the sea of all things! You hate the sea! And boats! Emmet you're a train conductor, what happened!? Where is the railway-loving, train-engineering brother I grew up with???"

I have a head canon that before he was mortal Apollo is an ok parent by godly standards. He has a lot of kids, they seem like they aren't angry towards him and he knows most of his kids in TOA even though he can't remember much else. It's like He's full of himself but that carries over to his kids. He's the center of the universe, perfect, amazing, the literal sun. His kids half of him so they're ALSO perfect, amazing, talented and the best. I really can't think of a Apollo kid that went to Luke's side so I think it's cus they know exactly where they stand with their godly parent. Obviously he's still a God so he wasn't like at their little league games but his cabin knows he thinks about them.

There's something about how Jace was always short for Jonathan (Jonathan Christopher -> JC -> Jace), but no one used his full name until they knew he was Valentine's son. Jonathan Wayland can have a nickname and be welcomed into a family, but Jonathan Morgenstern must be kept apart. They're stripping away his individual identity. He's not Jace, he's Jonathan Morgenstern the son of Valentine. Even Luke is using the more formal name, how Jocelyn must have referred to her son when they were young.

I wonder if Jace always hated being called Jonathan, or if he only stopped considering it to be his name once people started using it as a tool to remind him that he's no longer one of theirs. A large part of Jace's struggle in City of Ashes is about his relationship with Valentine, how he recognizes the evil he's done and yet still loves him as a child loves their father. He can't tell Maryse that he hates Valentine unconditionally, but he can say that he hates the name Valentine gave him, the one he always used for him.

100. Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield debuted Feb 74 and peaked at number seven, scoring 1010 points. This is the first year all the top 100 songs have scored at least 1000 points. This is because songs are charting for longer. In the 60s, songs would often chart 12-14 weeks. By 1973 it was not uncommon for songs to chart for 20 weeks or more.

Mike was born in Reading, England. He never charted before or after. The original album version ran 49 minutes over both sides of an LP. The single version was cut to four minutes and 36 seconds and featured prominently in The Exorcist. Mike was 19 at the time and played most of the instruments himself. Mike has 33 album releases from this, his first, to 2023, including the soundtrack to The Killing Fields.

OHHHHH good lord help me i am so fucking slow but i only just now realized the song's double meaning ohhh my fucking god im so stupid

"the bidding" not only as the first definition heart and mind bidding on soul, just as the original was about bidding for someone, but also the second definition, of SOUL's bidding, his bidding for heart and mind to end their cacophony and finally combine, if not for each other then for him, ughhrhgghh im a fake fucking fan cant even see the clever duality of a song title right in front of me

[lbhslefttiddie]

genuinely so amazing how sy's mind works....... he can make anything at all make sense to him but he Will do so in the most convoluted way possible....... opposite of Occam's Razor..... Shen Yuan's Harisen.......

This melody better be somewhere in the actual saga 😭 I’ve been looping this video since I first watched it it. This trailer has some tragic ass vibes especially when Odysseus has flashbacks to his family.

[garvalhaminho]

i feel like, as weird as it may sound, at its core "the mortal instruments" is a story of abuse and what a family truly is
