Heard a song from the 80s reference a "long distance call" and it occurred to me that this is a concept that no longer holds any emotional currency whatsoever

Jim Morrison would have been 81 today; let that sink in !!

You've seen your birth your life and death
You might recall all of the rest
Did you have a good world when you died?
Enough to base a movie on?

New Order released “Blue Monday” as a 12-inch single in March 1983. Art Director Peter Saville designed the jacket to look like a giant floppy disk, mirroring the futuristic, ground-breaking mix of post-punk songwriting & electronic sounds & beats. 🧵 1/

Artist: this sounds fantastic! Can you make it louder?

Me: yes but it will cost you

Artist: how much will it cost me?

Me: all the emotional impact of your song

Imo drake should be happy that Kendrick has a lot of spotify streams because it means he's not making any money

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone

If you follow me doesn’t mean we are roommates but you still should vacuum once a week. Thought I needed to point that out.
