Tagged by @gentlebeardsbarngrill @soupbtch @snake-snack-stede & @edscuntyeyeshadow to put 5 songs I actually listen to then tag 10 people 💖

I love music & tagging games so you better believe i went hard on this one. these are a few that have been on repeat lately:

1. This song slaps. I got really into it when it went viral on TikTok but holy heck, this song does things to my brain. My grandma is suffering from dementia and this song has helped me through the loss of her memory and recognition. It's haunting and I know it's gonna be in my Spotify Top 5 for 2024.

2. “I heard that there's a special place/ Where boys and girls can all be queens every single day” HELLO HOW DREAMY 💖 I'll always have a special place for Chappell! She's from very near where I grew up, which is just so cool to see more queer people come from the rural Midwest.

3. I love queer country music. I mean, come on, these lyrics?! "You got a gold star, you're a lady's man, you're fluent in lesbian/ you got a tattoo for your mom above your collar" Very underrated band and def on my heavy rotation rn!

4. Pretty sure Joan Jett's cover of this song was an early sexual awakening for me. I have very early memories of thinking about how cool it was that a woman was singing "now, I don't hardly know her/ but I think I could love her" I just rewatched The Runaways with Kristen Steward bc SHE'S ALSO GOT ME ALL HOT AND BOTHERED RECENTLY. So this song is back on my frequently listened.

5. There is so much to say about this song. Firstly, it's a cover from the original by The Righteous Brothers. Queer country icons Orville Peck and Paul Cauthen formed the duo The Unrighteous Brothers, and they sing love and anti-love songs and I'm so here for it. Hearing Orville crone, "Baby baby, I'd get down on my knees for you" to which Paul responds in this delicious growl, "If you would only love me like you used to do" IT DOES THINGS TO A PERSON 🥵

Whew, bet you didn't know you were reading a dissertation on Beedle's music, did you? 😂

[raytorosaurus]

funny how everyone says boy division is their fave when spotify play counts for light behind your eyes and world is ugly are higher. also boy division is overrated (i love it but i'll die on the hill that everyone is just blinded by it being an upbeat opening track) (tomorrow's money is far superior to boy division) (and number five is the best of the collection)

lol i can see why those two from number three have a lot of streams from more casual fans because they have like...'sing-alongable' lyrics and are that classic kind of palatable angst yk, but boy division is very solidly the fan favourite in more dedicated bandom circles. and yeah i kinda agree sjdkgl - tho i hesitate to call things overrated bc often ppl take it to mean "i don't like it just because it's popular" when in this case i really mean i do love boy division and think it's a great song but just genuinely don't understand why it's this much more popular than the rest of cw, you know? (poll here)

i do get that it's really fun and that they played it a lot this tour and we were all excited about that together so that makes it more fun - what i don't get is why they played it so much this tour (i.e. why it was so loudly a fan favourite above all the others before then). it just really surprises me that it was The most played song besides the every-show staples, with the single exception of mama. look in your heart is it truly anywhere near as good as mama </3 (stats from this awesome awesome spreadsheet by @onedaythisday)

i know that sometimes things are fun to love because they're loved - like it's much more fun to be really hyped up about them playing a "deep cut" fan favourite when everyone can lose their minds in excitement together, i totally get that. a similar thing happens with heaven help us imo. boy division and heaven help us - both really great songs that i love, but which have a reputation of being the stand-out "best" from their respective collections that i don't understand. tomorrow's money is by far my favourite on conventional weapons - of course personal taste accounts for a lot but i do genuinely believe that if any song on cw could be called underrated and truly hold up against their best stuff, it's tomorrow's money. it's lyrically and musically much more interesting than a lot of cw, the production is really fun, the breakdown and distorted screams scratch my brain soooooo good, and it really plays on mcr's strengths as a dual guitar band with a ray toro up their sleeve lol. i also think kiss the ring is a lot more interesting than boy division and sooo fun but they didn't play that one at ALL :( again, just my taste - i defs get boy division being people's fave, just struggle to understand why it's considered such a singular standout.

my actual unpopular cw opinion is that i think surrender the night is a bottom tier mcr song JSDKFLSDF sorry anon. bottom tier mcr already puts them at better than most other songs out there at least. i definitely appreciate it wayyyy much more now after seeing the live version where it actually feels like the guitars are doing something interesting (it might actually have been promoted to second-bottom-tier actually) but the studio version feels kinda flat to me. also imo gerard shot himself in the foot by saying it sounded something geoff rickly would write because if it was a thursday song it would sound better SDKLGJSDKLGJLDS. but that's just me tho i understand why people like it. number one (tomorrow's money and boy division) is probably my fave overall, tho number four (kiss the ring and make room) comes close. then five because burn bright slaps hard.

[ishibishie]

drop your top vocaloid songs I’m making a playlist and I need insight (this sounds so demanding omg…)

MY TIME HAS COME

so just as a fair warning my music taste is also no music taste i just tend to slap songs on my playlist i think sound good instead of thinking about genres and stuff lol. but anyway!

ANYTHING by ichinose lupo or irucaice! these two are probably my top producers and i think they're hella underrated

for specific songs i always gotta drop roki and ego rock! also unknown mother goose is a top pick and i promise if i can go to miku expo this year if they play this i will CRY. baimee baimee is my wild card fave it's stupid underrated

i could go on for a while longer but honestly one of my favorite things to do is go on youtube and look for vocaloid songs with less than 100k views and give those a chance! a lot of them sound super good (ESPECIALLY the ones below 20k) and def need some love, i think a sizeable chunk of my playlist is made up of these low-view songs because admit it as much as we all love world is mine we sometimes need a break from the 56th playlist that includes it lol. a few sleep hits i'm really enjoying as of late are cinematograph and shiny candy loveism

[sternbilder]

Ranking my favorite 2023 K-pop comebacks

I feel like 2023 was a year where I followed kpop comebacks especially diligently bc of my newfound interest in dance, and since it's 2024 this means an entire year has passed now of This

here's a list of my 10 personal favorite title tracks this year, happy new year all!

The Top Ten

1. Monsta X - "Beautiful Liar"

listen. when I said

in january of last year I meant it with my whole ass and I stand by it an entire earth year later. this song fucks So hard

firstable Yes I'm sad this is their last cb with most of the group in a while but also jesus what a banger to go out on

I love the guitars, the looks everyone is serving, the funky little twist in the song structure after the second verse, plus thinking always about lovemelovemelovemetellmetellmetellme + the chains + kihyun with a literal goddamn whip + the gunshot sound effects punctuating joohoney's verse. chefs kiss

2. Taemin - "Guilty"

god taemin is back and you can just feel the catholicity through the screen. the haunting vocals. the delicious string textures throughout (the way the arpeggios shift to pizzicato for the second verse!). the 6/4 time (the only choreo I learned this year that was not to an 8 count). the fucking through the shirt grab. the bridge which they extended in the MV specifically to squeeze in Even More Yearning™.

this is a perfect cb and I will say the rest of the album is also flawless and my favorite out of this list. honestly this probably would have been first if not for the fact that I personally just liked beautiful liar so goddamn much. thank you taemin. no notes.

3. SHINee - "HARD"

aka the song I previously described as "2 baddies, but Good" (no really, they have same key signature & near identical song structure. listen to them side by side with HARD on .95 speed if you don't believe me)

anyway, like 2 baddies this is SM-flavored af but I love the old school hip-hop vibes in HARD soooo much. I've had some people tell me they found it weird and off-putting but to me it's effortlessly cool but also earnest and just. fun? (not only the music but also the visuals? hello? the fashions in this MV) def gotta be one of my most played this year

4. Lee Gi Kwang - "Predator"

ok now for a dark horse pick. I feel like in the borderline 5th gen landscape nowadays older groups are often forgotten (even though hello! 2nd gen bgs are back from the military now and are having a Moment) so people perhaps understandably overlooked this one but god this song is a bop.

is it just criminal by taemin part 2 but less sexy and with a lower budget? yes. but the song is an absolute bop and the choreo slaps in its own right so imo it's a very worthy homage especially given it captures its exact gender of "pathetic sadboy making horny mistakes and needing to dance abt it" so so perfectly,

5. Exo - "Cream Soda"

tbh not what I was expecting from an exo comeback and I was surprised that I ended up liking this so much given I didn't really care for the prerelease tracks, but the more I listened the more this grew on me?

ofc it's an exo track so the vocals are 100 emoji but the chorus and melodies are simply addictive and the choreo for this one is also just a ton of fun (the sexy little head swipe,)

also I love the outfits in this MV (everyone keeps saying this is the Weed aesthetic but honestly? with korea's whole Thing? this is exo's macklemore-style thrift shopping and/or raiding grandma's attic for hidden midcentury treasures phase. to me.) but thank u @ the universe specifically for giving us back silver haired baekhyun. bless.

6. VIXX - "Amnesia"

another underrated release tbh! this initially gave me guilty vibes w/ the abundant use of pizzes since they were released around the same time but I also just independently love this song

I feel like it's a very mature song that takes itself seriously but not in an overly self-absorbed or cheesy way (another comparison I might make is to leo's losing game from last year), the chorus is poignant and hits hard because it's so earnest—maybe especially so since they were down to 3 with this cb—but man that melody is just so gorgeous, like it haunts me

7. Dreamcatcher - "Bon Voyage"

ok if I'm gonna be real it wasn't a great year for my faves—while I liked OOTD and reason they weren't top 10 worthy for me, mx had 1 excellent release before having most of its members yoinked by the military, and I didn't love either of oneus's cbs this year

that being said! I did still like bon voyage! while I preferred the first 2 in the trilogy it still felt like a good and fitting finale, bittersweet and full of equal parts regret and hope

in many ways it feels like a harkening back to classic dreamcatcher with the Big Anime Opening Vibes™ but more somber and grown up, an unexpected summer anthem from these queens,

8. TXT - "Sugar Rush Ride"

it's been a busy year for txt and while I'm not super familiar with them and their releases are sometimes a bit hit or miss for me, when they do hit they HIT

I actually considered chasing that feeling for this list too but despite adoring the take on me-ness of it I ended up nixing it after adjusting for recency bias

sugar rush ride though, I feel is a bop that stood the test of time with its catchiness and surprisingly dark undertones, and is also one of my favorite choreos I learned this year by far like. come on. it's the epitome of Boy Group Hot.

9. Taeyang - "Vibe"

this song lived rent-free in my head for MONTHS, god it's so catchy

I actually missed when my local studio taught this song but I liked the choreo so much I learned it on my own which, predictably since it literally features 2 main dancers, was not easy but extremely worth it bc just like the song itself it's just really fun

other than that what can I say. the MV is nothing special but otherwise it's just a really solid song with Big feel good energy.

10. Kiss of Life - "Shhh"

ok,,,,,,,I don't really follow rookie groups that closely bc generally I don't feel like I'm the target audience but. out of this year's new groups I did especially like kiss of life's debut!

the MV doesn't do much for me tbh but musically it sounds uncharacteristically mature to me, in a good way—it has a subtle confidence about it that I like plus excellent vocals, and is (possibly hot take?) what I was hoping to get from newjeans this year as a continuation of their debut last year tbh

Honorable Mentions

Jungkook - "Standing Next to You"

this one just felt like cheating bc it's technically an English single and there's probably some recency bias here but I can't not mention it bc I simply love this track. I'm not even a BTS stan but it's just a jam with great vocals and instrumentals (the big band notes and MJ influence! please!) and the choreo is also SO ridiculously fun, both the chorus and the dance break

BTOB - "Wind and Wish"

this is just a wholesome song that makes you feel good, like is it a lil bit cheesy? yeah, but it's also Good Vibes Comma the Song, wearing its entire heart on its sleeve in the most endearing way. it's nostalgic and mellow and full of love for its friends and a zest for life

also special shoutout to the bridge, which in such an otherwise lowkey song did not have to go that hard and yet it Did?? that harmony gives me chills, 100% certified vocal kings would cry again

Shownu X Hyungwon - "Love Me a Little"

this is a pathetic meow meow song in the best possible way and was sadly beat out by the other slightly better pathetic meow meow songs on this list (guilty, predator, amnesia) bc it was just a really good year for them but I still think it deserves a mention bc first of all yea boi @ my mans shownu being free from the military but also the instrumental/dance break at the end is dark as hell and also SO fucking tasty

Infinite - "New Emotions"

another 2nd gen group that quietly had a renaissance this year! this song is simply a bop and while the song itself is not as memorable as some in the top 10 the choreo is actually really fun

also myungsoo looks really ridiculously fine as center in the first chorus and that's the last thing I have to say about this song,

Key - "Killer"

honestly I really liked both of key's cbs this year but I feel like killer was slept on somewhat, it's got a hint of sadboi but it's tempered by the upbeat 80s pop style, plus the grungy mullet and beret outfit from the MV was a fucking Look and a Half

And my favorites per month

January: Monsta X - "Beautiful Liar"

February: Purple Kiss - "Sweet Juice"

March: Onew - "O (Circle)"

April: Lee Gi Kwang - "Predator"

May: Dreamcatcher - "Bon Voyage"

June: SHINee - "HARD"

July: Exo - "Cream Soda"

August: MAMAMOO+ - "dangdang"

September: Key - "Good & Great"

October: Taemin - "Guilty"

November: VIXX - "Amnesia"

[mxddyhero]

for the album game: Meteora :D

LEVIII 🫂 TYSM FOR THE ASK AAA !!! One of the albums of all time fr !!!

Best song on the album

SO MANY UHHH... I'd have to say breaking the habit, numb or faint. They're just too stacked.

My favourite song on the album

Basic but Breaking The Habit ajgsjdhs,, it was one of the first songs of theirs I heard, it's so beautiful and bittersweet and hhbgnh. Plus I was OBSESSED with the video in high school. You understand.

My least favourite song on the album

I'm not including the instrumental tracks because that feels like a cop out sooo ... I'd say nobody's listening is the song I def skip the most.

The most overrated song on the album

God. I gotta say Numb, don't I. It's a fine song. Just memed on waaaay too much. I also listened to it too much back in the day and it's just kinda. Eh.

Most underrated

Don't Stay. Bro it's such a fucking banger from the opening notes, and it goes so hard for what.

The banger of all bangers

This has to be Faint. Also a little overrated? Yes. But from the opening strings, this song is soo high energy and easy to just get right into. It slaps. It fucks. It bops. What can't she do? Nothing.

Rate /10

7. Not my fave linkin park album but it's def a solid album and it holds its own. Dare i say... better album than hybrid theory? To me <3

Ask game

[thyqueerblueberry]

10 songs i've been listening to lately, tagged by @kennysaysthings (thank u so very much<3) 1. absolute banger of a song, i've been listening to this on loop for weeks now. something about the way it starts always makes me feel things.

2. my dad made me listen to this song ages ago and i completely forgot about it until i heard it again on a s*p*rn*t*r*l episode and i haven't been normal about this song ever since.

3. i found maude latour while stalking someone on spotify and i've been in love with her music ever since. this song somehow makes me feel v nostalgic i love it very much<3

4. my friend made me listen to this and bro it's so fucking catchy lmao

5. kanye is a shitty human but this song slaps. it's perfect for when you're absolutely enraged at someone and want to fuel the hate further. perfect narcissism era song i feel like.

Thanks for the tag!!

Two songs I wish everyone listened to more often:

BIG OCEAN IS CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. IF ANYONE ELSE IS A PADO (the fan base name) PLEASE I WANNA BE FRIENDS. LISTEN TO THEM. All the members are hearing impaired to some degree and use either hearing aids or have cochlear implants. Currently there are three members but they’re looking for more (I guess the goal is at least 5 members total. Idk the details honestly.) BUT SERIOUSLY. I LOVE THEM. DEF CHECK THEM OUT.

82Major also slaps. I understand their music isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but imo if you like Stray Kids, NCT 127, or Ateez I think you’d like them. This song specifically leans more on the noisy side and I love it. I need to relisten to their first mini album but I remember liking it. (Also side note. Keeho of P1Harmony. His younger brother Yechan is in this group. I just think that’s a neat fact.)

Two songs I wish I listened to more often:

I listen to a lot of WayV in general but I’ve been skipping Action Figure a lot lately and I need to stop. This song slaps so much.

I’m was absolutely obsessed with this song when it was released and now it’s been a hot minute since I’ve listened to it. I need this in my Spotify wrapped it’s a must. It has a couple lines in Arabic and I think that’s cool (plus the song is hella good.)

Tagging (no pressure): @haahka @onlyoneofsideblogtrashheep @smushedmuffin @faceglitchsworld @loveable-sea-lemon @we-survive-endlessly

tag !! a song you wish everyone else listened to more often + a song you wish you listened to more often

a song (or two!) you wish everyone else listened to more often:

^^ her bsides deserve the world actually !!! also this would be THE chill summer song to play on the speakers in a boba shop why have i never heard it out in public.

a song (or two!) you wish you listened to more often:

^^ this whole album is SO good but i tend to avoid it and idk why ?? i think it makes me so happy that it becomes a bit overwhelming, honestly

^^ i KNOW they’re really good i KNOW 😭 this one especially is cute and energetic and creative and well-polished and it should be exactly my kind of song, but i just don’t find myself seeking out billlie’s stuff that often!

tagging: @sincerelywebsy @pocima @ghostofdiamonds @clowndra @embroselu @we-survive-endlessly @liveinalovelyway and anyone who feels like it !!

[sylvthara]

your opinions on imagine dragons are objectively correct thank you for saying them. i LOVED smoke and mirrors when it came out i remember listening to that cd in my first car all the time, their music is just really fun to listen to and like besides the point that their songs def do have meaning, a lot of the time it just sounds real good regardless like sorry some of you refuse to have fun but you gotta accept that their music consistently slaps

oh my god smoke + mirrors just kept whacking me over the head with great songs i felt like i found the holy grail. "thief" is so criminally underrated and it was all i listened to when it came out, same with "roots" although that came out like a year after smoke + mirrors was released. i just have so much love for imagine dragons, i got into playing the drums because of them.

but yeah! it's so sad seeing the hate they get especially when they all seem like such good people and i wish ppl who say there's no meaning to their songs would use more than 2 braincells and give them a fair chance. if i see another person compare imagine dragons to nickelback it's on sight.

[franken-x]

This isn't a fandom but. characters specifically from vocaloid music videos if that works?

OO YES YES

so I'll be linking the music videos and this is probably gonna be mostly nilfruits focused (we'll see where this goes)

blorbo (top fave) : doc/dr popart

it kinda depends on the day but i uh. i listened to doctorine around like 400 times last year (I don't have the number anymore :pensive:) so def doc

doctorine

(hospitals, suicide, hospital affiliated paraphernalia)

scrunkly (cuteness aggression) : the bellboy

literally look at him. and I had a whole au and everything. i love him he is precious to me and he's living his best life in ironina

haine kleine

(see below for content warnings)

scrimblo bimblo (underrated fave) : oro andalucia

I cannot put into words how much I love this anticapitalist waluigi

he saw capitalism and was like "guess ill die"

ALSO THE FASHION JUST SLAPS. ITS SO UGLY BUT SO GOOD HE DID WHAT MAGICIANS PURE LOVE WAS TRYING TO DO BUT 10000X BETTER also I like the surrealism the references

salvador

(suicide references, eyestrain)

glup shitto (obscure fave): haine

not quite obscure but when I saw him in the background of ironina I was like "oh!!!! the man!!!!!!" haine and kleine is that type of song that you forget about for a few months and then when you listen to it again You listen to it for a week straight

but in terms of who appears in the background of music videos the most technically flurry and welter who have had the most appearances, one outside their actual series (baba yaga silhouettes (0:41)

haine kleine

(flashing, alcohol, depression, choking)

poor little meow meow (pathetic or problematic fave) : Fuck I already said haine he's literally the pinnacle of pathetic man UHHHHH armis?

I stole my name from her she's problematic bc she's a bitch but also I think she should be a pathetic girlboss I love those ppl i hope she's still alive OH BUT ALSO CLAY? definitely the most popular nilfruits character (maybe slightly less than kalmia but ehh) definitely a poor little meow meow

okay honestly most nilfruits mv characters are pathetic little meow meows

ESPECIALLY THE ONES IN SHAMA (which includes winnie schrader it's complicated but if u know miyashita yuu you know winnie)

shama kilmer

(religious trauma, human sexual trafficking, eye trauma, homophobia)

horse plinko (character id like to torment for whatever reason): okay first off fuck gui oakes but that answer is too easy so here's my ranking excluding gui

1. Ai (a mistaken belief of love)

2. Baron (franken X)

3. Haine (haine kleine)

okay so all of these guys are actively going through some shit and being tormented in all their MVs but that little part of my brain is like "it'd be so funny if you made it worse" and that's basically why

a mistaken belief of love

(animal death, suicide, blood, flashing)

franken X

(dysphoria, hospitals, blood, eyestrain)

haine kleine

(flashing, alcohol, depression, choking, honestly it looks like onceler x onceler shit I'm not even joking)

eeby deeby (send them to eeby deeby): strelitzia dude

I think he'd fit in

strelitzia

(eye strain, flashing, the mortifying ordeal of living to serve someone wealthier than you, blood, alcohol)

[awsugar]

mack i fucking love the used. i don't know why i'm bringing this to you i'm just feeling really emotional about it rn. those dudes have been rocking for 20 years! and they're still making music that fucking Slaps and so many of their most iconic songs just take me right back to high school and being an angsty little shit sitting in the back of the classroom with my earphones in. i feel like their cultural influence isn't talked about as much but damn if they didn't shape my whole Emo Experience

i love the used!!! i def think they’re severely underrated. crossing my fingers they open for mcr at some part of the tour 🤞🏻

[its-hyperfixation]

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFULLY GORGEOUSLY PERFECT

THANK U SO MUCH MY LOVF 😭❤️❤️ ilysm

The Stars Are a Part of Us: Different Speeds (Part 4)

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Tag list @izzysdenimjacket ​ @warrendemachokeme @awrestlinggirlwholoves80sbands ​ @smokeandmirrorz ​ @sodalitefully ​ @roger-taylors-car ​ @lost-in-the-80s @whisperess33 ​ @shawolat ​ ​@80snikki @rumoured-whispers

Warnings: Underage sex, drug use, drinking, implied violence.  18+ ONLY

Notes: Track #2 is by the sadly underrated Cowboy Junkies.  It was released in '93, and I wondered if I should include in a fic set in 1987, but then I realized this is fiction and there's no rules!   Yayyy!  It's such a killer song I had to add it.

Checkout was at the ungodly hour of 11, and of course none of the band was anywhere to be found, just Karen perched on a chair in the lobby, still reading her book.  Love’s Surrender was the title of it, and Izzy snorted through his nose.  Surrendering was probably the last thing this uptight broad ever did.

“Fun night?” she asked, her eyes not leaving her page.

He shrugged.  “‘S’all right.”

She lowered her book.  “Heard you met Kasey.”

Izzy blinked.  “Uh, um, yeah.”

She rolled her eyes, exasperation pulling down her mouth.  “Oh, of course you don’t know her name,” she snapped.

“She didn’t know mine either,” he retorted.  “She thought I was Axl.”

Karen sighed.  “She blew him too.”

“Huh.  I thought he was with Velvet.”

Her eyes met his.  “Velvet insisted on it.”

Izzy furrowed his eyebrows.

“Hazing ritual.  She made Kasey suck him off in front of everyone, then he announced that Velvet was better at it.  Velvet always does the local talent dirty.”

Izzy closed his eyes.  “Fuck,” he breathed, “you bitches don’t take any prisoners.”

She gave him a hard look.  “You’re the wildest band in LA.  Did you expect angelic whores?”

Izzy frowned, then said, “You’re not just here because of us, are you?  You protect her from the other girls too.”

“No.   She’s everyone’s little sister, although I’d kill one of them for doing something to her.”  She narrowed her eyes at him again.  “I’m here because I think I need to be.  Cause if I didn’t, I’d be sitting this shindig out.  This is definitely my last rodeo.”

“This is your third tour, isn’t it?  You were with Def Leppard too.”

Her eyes widened, and Izzy nearly licked his lips in glee.  “Steve is Steve Clark.  I found out some dirt about you,” he smirked.

“Choose your next words very carefully,” she said in a low voice.

“You were a groupie.  Were you running naked through the hallways too?”

She stiffened, eyes widening and her face going pale, and for a second Izzy thought she was going to slap his face.  “No, I was trying to keep him from killing himself, you fucking asshole,” she gritted, then slumped down.  “I thought a blow job would put you in a better mood.  Guess you’re just a dick 24/7.”

“Sissy!�� Celestia cried, flopping down on Karen’s lap.  

“Hi, Sis.  You and your beau doing all right?”

“Yeah,” Celestia answered, centering herself on Karen’s legs.  She was taller than Karen, and was nearly crushing her.  “Did I tell you he has an anaconda?”

Karen made a face.  “Celestia, I don’t need to hear about that.”

Celestia giggled.  “No, he has a snake!  His name is Clyde.  He has some bearded dragons too.”

Karen shifted in her chair.  “That’s lovely, Sis.  Who’s taking care of them?”

Celestia hung onto Karen’s shoulders.  “Uh, he says someone named Yvonne.”

Karen took a deep breath.  “Is that his girlfriend?” she asked gently.

“His ex.”

“Uh huh.  And she still has custody of his pets?”

Celestia nodded.

“Then she’s not an ex.  An ex would’ve poisoned them.”

“You think he still has a girlfriend?” Celestia gasped.

Karen shot another look at Izzy.  “I think they all do.  Probably a few kids they don’t know about too.”

Celestia leaped off Karen’s lap.  “Omigosh!  Slaa-ash!  Do you have any kids?”

Slash took a sip from a styrofoam cup and pulled his top hat down over his eyes.  “I don’t think so,” he muttered, throwing an arm around Celestia.

Izzy shook his head.  “You have a really cynical view of the world, don’t you?”

Karen snorted.  “I’m never wrong.”

Izzy took a drag from a cigarette.  “Actually, you are.”

“Is he still seeing Yvonne?”

“Hell if I know.  But I don’t have a girlfriend.  Mine got married.  And not to me.”

Karen looked down.  “I’m sorry.”

“Yeah.  You write a song about a woman, and she dumps yer ass when you’re drying out.”

“Was it ‘Sweet Child of Mine?’”

He shook his head.  “I co-wrote the music on that, but no.  I wrote ‘Patience’ for her.”

Karen’s eyes widened in amazement.  “You wrote ‘Patience?’”

He stood up and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.  “Yeah.  And you’re wrong about something else too.  I’m not a dick 24/7, although you’ll never find that out.”  

Izzy leaned over his seat on the bus and looked down at Karen, still engrossed in her book.

“What do you do for fun on the road?” he asked her.

She didn’t look up.  “I’m having a love affair with my vibrator.”

“Oh, ha ha, smartass.”

She turned a page.  “You think I’m joking.  It’s Japanese and has different speeds.  I’ll never need a man again.”

Izzy didn’t say anything, but he could feel his eyes getting bigger.  Guess you’re not the prude I thought you were.

“Wow, that shut you up,” she chuckled, looking up at him.  “Are you bored on the road already?”

He nodded.  “I don’t get fucked up anymore, and that took up a lot of time, y’know.  I’m not scoring or getting drunk and now I have just…...time.”

“Yeah.  Well, I like to read, and being with my sisters.  Sometimes, I like to see the towns we’re in, get out of the hotel a little.  I like shooting pool.  I really like karaoke but I doubt if they have a lot of that here.  I’ve seen your itinerary and it wasn’t promising, they’ve got you out in Bumfuck most of the time.”  She knitted her eyebrows.  “You’re a guitarist, why don’t you play guitar?”

“That’s what I did last night.  I don’t know if I can do that every night.”

She cleared her throat.  “I’m sure there’s a Kasey in every town.  I doubt you’ll be bored for long.”

He shrugged.  “That does it for you?  Reading all the time?”

She looked up at him.  “I rather enjoy being bored.  There were many times I was on the verge of a heart attack, and I longed to be bored.”

“Steve kept you hopping, huh?”

She held his eyes for a long time, furious, then dropped her head.  “Yeah, he did.”  She looked up.  “Is that what you want, me to talk about him?  Fine.  I was in love, he wasn’t, end of story.”

He saw the pain etched in her face, and he let it drop.  He lit a cigarette and asked, “You’ve seen our itinerary?”

“Yeah.  The record company doesn't have a lot of faith in you, do they?”

He shook his head.  “They think we’ll be dead by the end of this week.”

“Those seem like good odds.  Where’s your record at?”

“At?”

“The top 100.”

“I dunno, 101 I guess.”

“Is it moving up?”

Izzy blinked. 

She sighed.  “Okay, how big was your record deal?”

“Two hundred fifty grand.”

She sucked air between her teeth.  “You know you have to recoup your costs, right?  I’m guessing you have a slew of lawyers and a bunch of court fees too.”

Silence.

“Izzy.  Have you talked to MTV?”

He shook his head.  “They won’t play our video.”

“You made a video?  For how much?”

“$75,000.  With Nigel Dick.”

“Ooh, you used a name.”

“That’s bad?”

“Yeah, cause he’s the only one who made money from it.”   She lit a cigarette.  “Izzy, are you aware you guys are broke?”

“We're getting a per diem.”

“You’re in the hole is what you are.  Who are you signed with?”

“Uh, Geffen.”

“Huh.  So just one man owns your ass.”

“So what you’re saying is that we’re in debt to the record company?”

“Yeah, big time.  I mean, Hoss, if your album tanks, you could be sued.”

He exhaled.   “How do you know all this?”

“Because I paid attention when the suits showed up.  I knew there had to be a reason for a record exec to leave his wife and kids to hump it all the way out to BFE to talk to the band.”  She lit another cigarette.  “”Pyromania’ started moving up the charts, and the suits came more and more frequently.”

“Def Leppard are millionaires.  I mean, their music sucks, but they made a shitload of money off of it.”

“It took them awhile to make it, though.  They had to pay back Mercury, plus they used Marilyn Monroe’s image in the ‘Photograph’ video and it cost them a bundle.”  She shook her head.  “Your attorney fees will keep you in the red for a while.  Especially if you keep playing these podunk towns.”

“Fuck.”

“Yeah.”  Karen took a drag.  “Well, maybe the record company is looking out for you.  They probably figure you can’t kill yourselves out here in the boonies.”

“IZZY!” Steven shrieked, slapping him on the back.  “Howya doin’, brother?”

Izzy smiled.  “I’m all right, man.  How are you?”

Steven was nearly hopping up and down in his dingy white hi tops.  “I’m so excited, man, we’ve got a gig tonight.  We’re gonna ROCK Canada, aren’t we, Izz?”

“You bet your ass, Stevie.”

“You!” Steven shouted to Karen.  “You, what’s your name?  Donna?”

“Karen.”

“Yeaah, Karen.  You really should fuck Izzy, girl!  He’s cool.  Like the coolest brother you could ever have.”

Izzy smirked.  “She says she doesn’t need a man, she got a device with different speeds.”

Steven looked horrified, then he grinned.  “Well, let him use it on you.”

Karen blinked, and Izzy cleared his throat.  “Dude, she’s not into that,” he said.

“Too bad.  Fuck, that girl I’m with is insane, man.  She ate that girl Kasey out last night for like an hour, man.  Then they sucked me off at the same time!  I’m living the dream, Izz.  I don’t want this tour to ever end.”  He hugged Izzy, then went back to his seat and snuggled up to a sleeping Absinthe.

Izzy raised an ornery eyebrow at Karen.  “So, different speeds, huh?”

“Absolutely not.  And you can’t borrow it either.”  Her eyes slid to Steven’s seat.  “Coke always make him like that?”

“Yeah, he takes a while to come down.  He’s pretty hyper to begin with.”

“Well, you should have a high energy set then.”

Izzy rested his arms on the top of the seat.  “You’ve seen us play.  What do you think?”

Karen fought a smile.  “You don’t suck.”

“Says the woman who traveled with Def Leppard.”

She gave him the middle finger.  “Keep it up, Hoss, and I’ll ram my Japanese precious where the sun don’t shine.”

Izzy puckered his lips and made obnoxious kissing noises, then said, “Promises, promises,” and flopped down in his seat.

The most underrated mcr song is party at the end of the world. If you asked me right now to sing it I wouldn’t know what to do. I don’t remember how she goes without hearing first.

oh okay see this could be my bad or like a semantics thing bc im definitely defining "underrated" as song that should be appreciated/ranked more highly than it generally is among fans, no matter how highly it currently is. obvs that's an impossible thing to properly measure which is why there are lots of correct answers here lol. so like for example thank you for the venom and the end/dead are very loved but imo they should be up there with mama and helena in terms of Timelessly Iconic Quintessential My Chem Songs that nobody ever says a bad word about yk? and in a different way, teenagers is their most played song on spotify which i don't think it deserves, but that does mean that on here people unfairly dismiss it or ignore it a lot when it's really fucking good and musically clever song. i defs should have specified that im mostly talking about online mcr fandom and not the general public lol

the interesting thing in dedicated fandom circles is that often a disproportionate amount of attention is given to the less famous deep cuts. i definitely understand why and i do it myself too but sometimes it results in really good main album tracks getting less appreciation around here than they deserve (in fan spaces specifically) compared to bsides, bonus tracks etc. and i totally agree that a couple of my fave tracks are deep cuts but i think sometimes some of those fandom faves actually wouldn't stand out as much to us if they were just on an album dhdlhff.

anyway by that metric i would actually agree that party at the end of the world is underrated bc ur right it's literally never mentioned when it does slap. but once again definitely not a contender for the most

You've absolutely gotten at least one person (me) into the Garages! I play Blaseball (go Mechanics!) But the big discord is scary... But i Love your Garages posting! I am trying to listen to all their stuff, but if you've got recs of things to listen to first, I'd love that! Ive heard a few that youve linked here, and so far I love Mike Townsend Is A Dissapointment and Shutout!

HELL YEAH i'm glad that i could get you into the garages' music!!!! (also i don't know if you've heard, but the garages are doing a live show on the 27th on twitch.tv/blaseball, i'd super recommend going! their shows are always fun and sometimes they play new songs there!)

anyways, a non comprehensive list of my recs is as follows:

- the mike townsend quintilogy is really good, and definitely a good place to start!! mike townsend (is a disappointment) is the first song, which you've already heard, but the rest of them are all also really good! all of the songs on it are great, but i specifically love mike townsend (knows what he's gotta do)

- UNSTABLE is the garages newest release, and also a good starting point + a really good album!! my faves off of it are: INCINERATE, sidelined, needs of the many, and firewalker with me

- the garages kill the gods is one of their earliest releases, and has some super good stuff on it. songs i recommend from it are: fight gods, and i mean all gods, and pathetic/spineless

- DEICIDE is one of my personal faves, and def one of their most solid albums! songs i recommend from it are: eyes in the dark and mike townsend (is back)

- #14 is also a REALLY solid album. my faves off of it are: be alright, flooding/drowning, REMEMBERTHEM, won't strike out, and luis punches a hole in the ground

- the skarages! vol 1 is a really fun ep! it's just ska covers of some of their songs, but i love it and it's a jam!

- CONSUMED has some real good stuff too. my faves off of it are: to the one percent, SUN 2, best life, best wife, and flooded skies

- we are the garages (vol 3) is really good and definitely underrated. my faves off of it are: good enough now, live to play again, and saint of mediocrities

- the garages suck is a fun ep! my faves on it are: we'll suck forever and nothing has changed

- the ballad of unremarkable derrick krueger is just a single for now, since the album that it's going to be on isn't out yet. it's really good though, highly reccomend! the live version is also very good

- the deaths of sebastian telephone is a blaseball musical. it's not strictly the garages, but it's v good. my fav tracks off of it are: dial tone, killer for the pies, and we can save the world. there's also a live version of dial tone, which slaps

- some other songs that don't exactly fit in the format i've done here but are still very good are get normal and in the feedback
