49 years ago today On this day in 1977, Lou Reed was banned from appearing at The London Palladium in England because of his punk image Reed was set to play a series of shows at the Palladium to promote his album Rock and Roll Heart #punk #punks #punkrock #protopunk #loureed #punkrockhistory #otd

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

me: no no no it's ok im Not freaking out also me: *puts on Aladdin Sane, my comfort album* also me: *texts my drummer (go-to rant victim) stream-of-consciousness*

'sex pistols' and 'bikini kill' both have similar names ie the first part being sexual and the second being violent. the two ultimate censorships. flaunt them.

She's like an old samurai whose great battles are behind her but every once in a while she kills a man with piece of paper just to prove a point

upside: finished recording the drone part to one of my songs bcs i genuinely thought i was hallucinating the blood on the strings from my finger downside: can't record the alternate version i had in mind, until it dries

Give 'Em Enough Rope is SO overhated like why do you people hate fun songs

Besides posing an existential threat to our favorite nonprofit bookmobile, Antelope Lending Library (which is probably at the top of the list of reasons library haters are attacking bookmobiles).... The library haters squatting in the Iowa Statehouse are at it again. action.everylibrary.org/hf2324

my version of eating things you're allergic to is... listening to bob dylan songs even though his voice gives me a horrrible migrane

The dangerous anti-LGBT+ bill is back in Ghana, with stronger political support. We stopped it once. Let’s stop it again. Sign to defend equality and human rights. a.allout.org/s/P3wrb/

amazing. now there's this fucking shrill note in my ears.

i wanna work on that song for my friend but i have this HORRIBLE migrane rn an aaaaaugh

you know, it's weird how some david bowie songs(specific lyrics) have comforted me, but they are absolutely Not the usual ones.

i should work on the song i'd written for her in response to one of her songs...

one of my closest friends found a list of magazines which do music review articles for me (ive shown her a bunch of my reviews & she liked them apparently) and !!!!!!!!!

do you ever feel like you're wasting away your life's potential

Still with me out there, night owls? Pull that chair a little closer to the speaker. Just laid a side on the platter from a young cat out of Minnesota… calls himself Bob Dylan. Voice is a little road-worn, a little dusty, but the way he turns a phrase… hangs like Marlboro smoke over a back booth.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but listening to an audio book absolutely counts as “reading” a book. In fact, I’d argue that listening to an author read their own work aloud is an exceptionally magical and even holy experience. I love it so much. Especially as my eyesight gets worse.

You only have to listen to John Cale’s version of Hallelujah to notice that sometimes a rhyme is all about how you choose to pronounce it. He sings it ‘correctly’, which frequently destroys the rhyme scheme but does he sound bothered?

PiL is actually good

Finally! Someone gets across the issued with aro and ace representation that just keeps getting ignored! youtu.be/CP02QywJXfU?...

when you totally know what drugs are and how much they cost

like the only way i can see myself doing that is... making low-effort throwaway things to submit. which is a problem because if it *did* get chosen, i'd be known for low-effort throwaway things instead of my proper art.

(i'm a time traveler trying to get caesar to invent caesar salad) me: caesar! you have conquered all lands. none stand before you. what will you do now? caesar: i think... i will invent a salad me: what will you call it, your glory? caesar: julius's salad me: close caesar: julius's epic salad

rlly i dont know how i feel about whoring my writing out to millions of places who probably wont even read it before rejecting

i aim to be greater than all my "heroes".

death and the maiden

mostly i write to transform this grief or misery into something else. something good.

ok i AM normal/basic in other ways. my favourite beat is the tom-tom-snare-tom. rocknroll i love :)

Just saw this... As usual, Bowie's spot-on with his observations.

realised im much more of a licks guy than a riff guy.

My :) mixture of jazz and proto-punk, like some deranged motherfucker

Lou-natics unite! Here's a previously uncirculated gem from the fall of 1972 — Lou Reed + the Tots in London. Probably the best quality recording I've heard from this era ...

someone Please find me a site where i can post my various music and band -related ramblings (loose reviews), i will go Insane.

you know how people talk about 3-chord rock n roll you know how — except very few cases — it's horribly boring and same-y you know how it was initially this incredible powered-up thing that allowed rockers to show off distortion and the very electrifying stuff that could b done with such tricks

ooh it's me :3 fun

Debbie Harry says if you've ever liked her acting it's because Warhol taught her how to listen. He was a 'great listener... ''Oh really?'' That was his phrase... ''oh really''?

everythng is so hard:( and horrible :( but i will always have john cale albums 👍

the lyrics of david bowie's Repetition (yes, that's the name) off Lodger have huge Lou Reed vibes. i wonder if he nicked a lyric sheet off him somewhere.

iris ily...

me whenever i see the number 7: omg clash reference ?!?!

i wish i had somewhere to post my song reviews im writing out of pure enthusiasm and love. i can't stop writing them, combining my two main skill/talent/loves. augh.

they look so cute and tiny and cold XD
