[charlott2n]

charlotte what are your favorite concept albums :] i'm trying to listen to music more and i like concepts

hope by klaatu is my ultimate favorite concept album!! its prog rock from 1977 about space and an alien war and a lighthouse keeper and stuff :) so many amazing songs im actually getting chills all over my body just thinking about So Said The Lighthouse Keeper. VERY IMPORTANT there exists a song called Epilogue its 40 seconds long its not on the album but you HAVE to listen to it between lighthouse keeper and the title track im begging you its so pretty and i think sets up the title track perfectly. its such a shame they didnt put it on the album for whatever reason.

other faves are eldorado (another album i could write a Paragraph about) and time by elo, ziggy stardust and diamond dogs by david bowie, songs for the deaf by qotsa, deltron 3030, plastic beach by gorillaz, were only in it for the money by frank zappa, wywh by pink floyd, days of future passed by the moody blues, thick as a brick by jethro tull, circus by argent, paradise theatre by styx, preservation act 2 by the kinks, and master of brutality by church of misery :)

re: the music recs post from a while back that I never got around to responding to (apologies)

The Soul Cages - Sting The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars - David Bowie The Velvet Underground and Nico - The Velvet Underground The Queen is Dead - The Smiths Low Spark of Hig-Heeled Boys - Traffic Fragile - Yes; (Just based on what you have here)

Sting for sure, I've listened to his best-of. Disassociating to "Fields of Gold" has gotten me through many a retail shift.

That Bowie album I've already listened to, I had that album in heavy rotation during college.

I don't think I've listened to Velvet Underground or Traffic yet.

I have complicated feelings about Morrissey as a person despite really liking The Smiths and some of Morrissey's older solo stuff. I should sit down and listen to a non-best of of theirs, though.

I do have to listen to YES aside from "haha funny song from JoJo".

kvr0ii

A couple personal faves are Glass Houses (Billy Joel) Business as Usual (Men at Work) Spanish Train And Other Stories (Chris DeBurgh)!! They fit into this category, and all have really good songs!

Can you believe I live in a Big Billy Joel Household (my parents danced to "Just The Way You Are" at their wedding) and I don't believe I've listened to a full non-best of Billy Joel album?

I need to listen to more Men at Work, I really like "Overkill".

Chris DeBurgh I'd need to look up, but I trust your judgement.

purringshark

Jethro Tull!

Another "I need to look into them beyond their best of" band, my dad loves them. Between Jethro Tull and Genesis, rock music needs more flute.

*drops in through the ceiling* Greetings,

For the character ask game I once again humbly request Delgado (or if someone has already requested him, three). I desperately need more threegado content in my life. Favourite married but at the same time divorced couple ;p

Thank you once again/in advance 😊

Seeing your content, especially your ask games, always leaves me giggling (or alternatively crying) Your head cannons are always so brilliant and I will - without question accept them as cannon.

Farewell and have the best week

*vanishes*

Awww, thank you so much! For the kind words and because married couples shouldn't be separated (and also because headcanons overlap), here's the both of them!

1: sexuality headcanon - I suppose they're both demisexual? As in they are the duo that established the Master as Doctorsexual and the Doctor as having a libido rise in the Master's vicinity, so I guess that's the closest term human sexology has for what they have?

2: otp - each other, of course, they very very married <3

3: brotp - for Three it's definitely the Brigadier, for Delgado... this is a bit of a stretch of brotp on parental relations, but the way he accepted that the Doctor adopted Jo so now he too has a human daughter is everything

4: notp - I get a bit of a rise when they are shipped with other regenerations (as in Three with other Masters and Delgado with other Doctors); don't get me wrong they'd get along just fine with other faces but they are too married for it to go into shipping territory; I do see them giving NuWho thoscheis intense couples councelling, though

5: first headcanon that pops into my head - Three is a huge fan of David Bowie (this extends to all Doctors tbh, where the hell do you think Ten got his cheekbones?), with whom he struck an acquaintance and keeps playing him alien music (Ziggy Stardust is very much a real person); he brought the Master to one of their (time travelling, he wanted to prove a point) meetings, and within a few days Bowie wrote The Man Who Sold The World

6: favorite line from this character - this evolved into a full blown meta, but the The point is that one must rule or serve. That's a basic law of life. Why do you hesitate, Doctor? Surely it's not loyalty to the Time Lords, who exiled you on one insignificant planet? - You'll never understand, will you? I want to see the universe, not rule it. exchange is one of peak moments for the entire show; the opposing yet fundamentally not contradictory philosophies; the desperation to reach each other; the could have beens and could never bes...

7: one way in which I relate to this character - I too like James Bond movies, but believe they would benefit from Bond wearing more frills and velvets and Blofeld having a beard

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character - with Delgado, the man eating sofa might have been just the teensiest bit too much? with Three, being chummy with Chairman Mao definitely calls for attention 🙃

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? - Delgado is probably the closest the Master ever got to being a cinnamon roll, yes he was absolutely established as a villain, but his ongoing politeness to every being he's about to subjugate to his will deserves proper appreciation :3; the Doctors generally osciallate right in the middle of the cinnamon roll-problematic fave spectrum, with some going really far into the latter and none going very far into the former, that said Three is one of the few who's marginally more on the cinnamon roll side

[mercury-sappho]

[flieslikeamoron]

@skystamp tagged me and it took me a minute, but here are five songs I've listened to recently. 

Let Me Down Easy - Daisy Jones and the Six

I watched the show, and it's fine. The ending was lame, but I liked it okay otherwise. Riley Keough and Nabiyah Be were very good. And yes, I listened to the album by this fake band. It's also fine. You might as well just listen to Fleetwood Mac, honestly. But it has some catchy tunes. I generally like the live versions from the show a bit better than the polished "album" versions though. 

Waffle House - The Jonas Brothers

I'm still vestigially in Jonas fandom. It was never really about the music for me, I was in it for the fic. And for the codependent brothers. (Except I did love love love the DNCE album. Suck on that, Nick! Joe was secretly the most talented one all along!) But yeah, my favorite albums from my Disney era were Demi's Here We Go Again and Aly and AJ's Insomniatic. So although I still have feelings about the Jonas Brothers, they're not really much about the music. I still listen to their stuff though in the way that you might listen to music put out by someone you went to high school with or used to date or something. This one is fun, but I hate that one line about "headstrong father and a determined mother." It just hits my ear wrong rhythmically.

Fistfight - Ballroom Thieves

I added this one to my steddie playlist a while ago, and I listen to it pretty often. I really like the dirty groove of it, and the soar of the chorus. Love the line: They said love is grabbing blindly at a pit full of snakes/And wait to feel the only heel among the rows of all the venomous teeth and of course the chorus: You were a bright light/You were a fistfight. IDK I think that fits the way I'm writing them.

I'm a Man - Adam Lambert

This is from the covers album Adam put out recently. I don't like the Sex on Fire cover at all, but the rest is good. I think my faves are the Beatles-esque take on Getting Older, a sexy cool I Can't Stand the Rain, and a moody and modern Do You Really Want to Hurt Me that I like way better than the original. And this one, which is from Jobriath. He was an out gay rock musician in the early 70s. He had a big contract and a lot of marketing hype, and then his first album bombed, and he got basically abandoned by the industry and died of AIDS. Anyway, the Jobriath album is pretty much aping Ziggy Stardust/Bowie. Especially vocally. And it has several "space man" songs. But I kind of get more Elton John vibes overall. Jobriath was a pianist, so it's a lot more piano heavy than Bowie and it has these musical theater/showy/operatic tones. Like there's one song Movie Queen that just sounds like vaudeville/cabaret, not really "rock." Aaaanyway, Adam's voice is always A+ and you can tell he relates to this song. It's a great cover.

The One that Got Away - The Civil Wars

I guess Daisy Jones put me in the mood for fraught band relationships and tangled up feelings. This is so pretty and haunting. And I love that complicated dynamic of it was easier when it was just pining, and it was all potential, and it wasn't this hard, real thing.

[smallbirdbigcoat]

im soooo sorry for disappearing these last couple days its gotten really crazy here w sudden funeral n christmas 💔💔 i checked them out & i really liked them!! im definitely going to dig through their discography thank you soo much for reccing them :) i was hoping you’d have some tbh 😭😭 i would say my top fave 5 are ummm david bowies rise & fall of ziggy stardust, wish you were here by pink floyd & hüsker dü’s zen arcade, ethel cains preacher’s daughter and lulu by lou reed … i think lulu is a fantastic album def my #1 of all time LOL i know a lot of people really hate it tho 💔💔 what kind of stuff do you do for fun? like hobbies? sorry if ive asked that before LOL but its very interesting to me -❄️

that’s ok! dw abt it i understand

i completely forgot abt ziggy stardust 😭 it’s literally one of my favourite albums of all time idk how i could’ve forgotten lmao. also lemon demon’s spirit phone was a big one for me in lockdown i was literally obsessed w it! i heard it again recently it is a rly good concept album too

i’d say my main hobby is painting! i mostly paint w oils but sometimes i do watercolours even though i find it rly frustrating n don’t like it as much as oils but it’s still fun! i also do some digital drawing. also i’ve recently started a journal that’s mostly cool things i’ve collected like receipts from cool shops, clothing tags, photos i’ve printed, little sketches, stickers and things like that. i’ve been having so much fun w my journal lately and it’s the first time i’ve ever rly kept a journal going for a long period of time. it’s also made me rly appreciate small moments in life n honestly i’ve scoffed at ppl who talk abt journals like this in the past but it’s been so good for my mental health. that was a bit of a tangent but i’m just rly excited abt journaling lol. most of my hobbies revolve around art ig but i also play the sims and sometimes minecraft. i think that’s abt it. what are your hobbies??

[muirneach]

hello, its ur secret rocker santa again!!

for songs that cheer me up i'd definitely say she bangs the drums by the stone roses, its got such good vibes to me. also moonage daydream by david bowie (and like half the songs off that album tbh). as for the best year for music i think personally 1979, so many albums i love came out that year, but 1972 is such a good answer as well!!

today i wanna know: what are your favourite album covers of all time? are there any you think are underrated? and is there an album you really love that's album cover you hate?

yessss ziggy stardust best album everrrr!!

okay!! really really love this question cause i <3 album covers so so much n i think about them a lot. ive even half made an album cover uquiz. i should really make a playlist of my fave covers. so there’s wayy too many to list but off the top of my head: bop till you drop - ry cooder, the last time i did acid i went insane - jeffrey lewis, remember that i love you - kimya dawson, androgyne - gyasi, groovy grubworm - harlow wilcox, pretty much any wilco cover lol, townes van zandt self titled, new skin for the old ceremony - leonard cohen, sweetheart of the rodeo - the byrds, nive sings! - nive nielsen and the deer children, the night the light went on at long beach - electric light orchestra, fear fun - father john misty. and so on and so forth!

as for album covers i dont like. well… there are plenty… i hate to admit this but most of neil young’s album covers across his entire discography (bs and csny etc included) are not very good. i love pony by orville peck but i hate show pony (and honestly most of the songs on that album weren’t great either lol). also the bronco cover was only okay. me n my bestie have a vendetta against pronounced jah-see by gyasi for a myriad of reasons. i’ve never liked tim by the replacements even if it’s one if the greatest albums ever. can’t think of any others but rest assured i am a hater of many <3

Small Update (I lied, it is not small)

I've been listening to so much music recently. It's one of the mediums I enjoy as well. I'll do discography reviews soon, if I get the time. I'm enjoying old music currently, but I'll probably get around to listening to newer artists. Here are the albums I'm currently listening to:

I haven't listened to them all yet, but I'm getting there! There's so much more I'd like to listen to, but for now I'm starting with the "classics."

So far my favorites are:

David Bowie - current faves are Diamond Dogs and Low, but of course Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust is still a classic! I also loved the sound of Station to Station and Heroes.

The Beatles - I loved Rubber Soul, Revolver, and MMT; though of course the Abbey Road and Sgt. Peppers. I haven't listened to the White Album enough yet, and I'm kinda procrastinating on listening to Let It Be.

The Velvet Underground - I absolutely loved their first album, but the album that stayed with me is White Light / White Heat. My favorite tracks are Lady Godiva's Operation and The Gift.

Pink Floyd - I listened to The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here, and I am flabbergasted. I can't wait to listen to more of their albums.

Nick Drake - I love his voice. I love the loneliness I feel when I listen to his songs. I haven't allotted the time to deeply listen to his songs yet (reading the lyrics, historical context and stuff), but I just let the sounds wash over me in particularly rough days.

Vashti Bunyan - the sound of her voice is so comforting to me as well. But there is that lingering sadness I feel when I listen to her songs. It's the same when I listen to Nick Drake. Maybe it's the genre?

The Smiths - I loved the theme of the first album. The lyrics is so... I loved it. They'll probably have a separate post from me in the future. About my thoughts about their work, and the "separation of the art from the artist" stuff that I'd like to elaborate more on. I love love love it, and I think I'm going to get into it, but at the same time I'm conflicted!

I'm still getting into Talking Heads, Nirvana, Radiohead, and Prince (Purple Rain sounds so good!!!!). I want to get more into King Crimson, but I only have their debut album. I think I'm getting a grasp on my tastes? There's so much music I'd like to listen to, and it feels overwhelming at times, but I'm mostly having a blast.
