People with most mainstream tastes imaginable should not open their mouth on how anti piracy they are btw. Yea no shit you can depend on legal sources to watch Marvel and listen to tswift and Maroon 5. Thank you so much for signing the petition to close that platform that was the only one i could download this 2008 romanian dungeon synth ep from
The urge to paint every photo that gives me inspiration is battling the urge to sketch pretty boys (for both gender and gay reasons) at all times in my brain and only once in a blue moon do they meet in the middle and inspire me to paint a pretty boy
Reblog to give the person you reblogged from the ability to finish their WIPs
I don't know much about The Beatles and I don't know everything about The Monkees but I do know that while some fundamentals are the same for the two these bands had very different sounds from one another even when they were doing similar things
I've heard Pieces, Aquarius, Capricorn, & Jones LTD get compared to something like Magical Mystery Tour, and while yeah, there's some small similarities, I feel like The Monkees were sort of making their own stuff by that point and straying away from The Monkees+More of The Monkees and with that, they were drifting further from that "American Beatles" image (and, of course, making stuff dissimilar to The Beatles), and The Beatles were making the image a lot of people now associate with them (that you should be high as a kite to enjoy their music. Which. I've yet to try that). Even if you look at the early days of The Beatles/The Monkees, The Monkees were very much their own thing, even as a "manufactured image", they're not super Beatlesesque, they just sound like a good late 60s classic rock band.
Honestly one of the only similarities I can think of off the top of my head between the two (aside from like. Basic instruments) is the fact both bands would wear Chelsea boots. And that was extremely common in their kind of scene so like. Doesn't even matter. Also drugs but again common.
Tldr: The Monkees and The Beatles made very different music and it's weird to me that The Monkees are still (to some) considered "just Beatles rip-offs"
Edit: To clarify, I know The Monkees were made because of The Beatles. I'm not saying people compared the two with little reasoning other than the fact they were both popular 60s bands.
Or however you spell that (I have just tried my fucking hardest to spell something)
Can't express how stress free being open minded is.
Some lesbians use he/him? Oh cool.
Some people have people inside their head and sometimes it's fictional chars? Sick your brains like a pirate ship they're all working to run.
Some people like being treated like a pet dog? Bark bark bro.
Being fat isn't unhealthy but a perfectly normal type of body to have? Kinda beautiful how different we can all be.
Something doesn't make any fucking sense? Cool an opportunity to learn. And even if I can't figure it out it's cool we still have mysteries today.
