Kansas would not exist without Ur-Kansas

I guess "hey remember that guy who went viral in 2007 for having aggressively rancid vibes" was too long of a nickname

congratulations from your target demographic!

YouTube video by The Smashing Pumpkins - Topic Bodies (Remastered 2012)

e.g. this song fascinated me as a teen, the relentlessness of it, the bizarre structure with two choruses, the big chunky guitar sound, the machine gun drumming, the raw vocals, and of course the ANGST www.youtube.com/watch?v=WldX...

They were, unfortunately, a very good band for a few albums before corgan's head disappeared up his ass

also at the risk of stating the obvious it is not "just volume," the timbre changes dramatically at different dynamics

I don't know much about spotify's financials but I do know that they are evil, does that count for anything

but a pianist will probably not think of it that way because it's too cerebral and they have to be in a more emotional, almost pseudo-mystical space to do what they do

I think you will have more fine gradations of volume which overall creates a different sound, especially in fast passages which get all shimmery

tammy today I was told I need to create a "one sheet" and I had to look up what that is. help

also did we forget that smashing pumpkins themselves turned away from rock for a while? they did a whole electronic album and half of mellon collie was weird old timey ditties

I think the bit about the "fleshy part of the finger" is that you will have more control and sensation with that part of the finger, not literally that something soft touching the keys will make a direct difference

the funny thing is I feel like there has been a bit of a rock resurgence lately among gen z (geese, wet leg, mitski sorta, black country new road), but obvs corgan hasn't been part of it because he alienated his entire fan base

if I was curating an anthology of maritime romance stories I would call it The Naval Gaze

Alas I am not this year! Ironically I was just in the bay area this past weekend for an opera thing but could not figure out how to make 2 back-to-back trips work with everything going on

Yes it's also easier for me to imagine slapping non-bangers than non-slapping bangers

I am having the same experience this term! Attendance is still rough though

what are your favorite thudders

Do all bangers slap or can we postulate the existence of a non-slapping banger

roadhouseendgame i was talking to my mom about cardassians and said something along the lines of what must it be like to be a cardassian civilian. like abstractly knowing the rest of the galaxy thinks of your species as 'the evil ones' and kinda sorta knowing your government runs labor camps and torture prisons and is a military empire, and it's a huge deal for everyone else in the galaxy, but you just like run a restaurant so it's not a big part of your daily life, so you just like, go about your day and make soup and don't think about it' and then halfway through my sentence i actually heard myself and then had to go sit down for like ten minutes. like sat down in a chair and stared at the floor for ten minutes

whoops

We’re not that organized
