yeah i feel you on the recording self thing

also problem for me too is that I don't think I would like to be a music critic type either, like the way i approach is more from a history perspective and couldnt imagine myself being a Fantano or Pitchfork type

might actually want to pursue learning more ethnomusicology type stuff honestly but ship kinda sailed for me if i was wanting to get some formal academic degree or something with that

Some serious sorcery on this

I still can't believe it tbh

Amazing song amazing record

yeah insane he managed this album by himself. pretty well Abbey Road tier.

The cockiness of that album makes me laugh too

Paul is literally proving "The Beatles were holding me back"

You ever watched video essays?

This guy's videos are a bit long but quite brilliant

@RVI

craziest things is that All Things Must Pass and Plastic Ono/Imagine are just as good in entirely different ways. they all proved the Beatles weren't a fluke but an actual one-in-four-billion group of singular masters.

nah never got much into this type of content

would usually prefer to read about it

sometimes I prefer to read

Have you seen ig pages that highlight music interests?

our eyeballs thank us

I was definitely in attendance. Worth every penny for Grounded and Frontwards alone.

nope never got on ig

I miss magazines, bro @Koala @drjdeponytail @branmalt

Casual reading isn't really done like that since magazines and blogs stopped being popular

same

was just telling koala earlier how dependant I was on any music/movie/videogame magazines I could find in my town cause my parents didnt want to pay for internet. still have stacks of notable editions.

unfortunately lost all The Source and XXL mags I used to have would be such a blast from the past to see them now

have insane nostalgia for the time my pops and I did a road trip in his corvette stingray (with a crazy stereo) up north to see my auntie and he showed me RAM, Purple Rain and Best of Buddy Holly

was funny to see how passionate a grizzled old logger/biker/stoner was about Prince I wasnt taking the purple one seriously yet

Didn't he show you Costello too?

I might have it above Abbey Road just for Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey

Truly insane harmonies on that

yup around that same time

pops was pretty eclectic for being a small town hooligan, looking back. he forced me to get into the Drifters too who are all-timers for me now. although my first Drifters comp turned out to be re-recorded versions from the 80s or something and I was like "what is this s***"

then I found all the original late 50s early 60s Ben E King era recordings

Drifters too goated

I have been spinning this one a lot recently

This is also s-tier
