Happy one year anniversary to this tweet alone
it's wild how when I'm talking to people my age they'll be like oh yeah we're getting our dope :) and they'll walk to the local weed shop to get some for their bong, and then I'm talking to older rockstars and they're like oh yeah a dope habit... *Vietnam flashbacks* not a recommended career move :) and they'll be talking about Johnny Thunders on heroin
#yeah boi I'm editing my interview with Chris Barry again!#to quote about Thunders: pissing and barfing and falling apart on stage. Chris was there you know#Johnny Thunders#New York Dolls#or honestly he was around for more post-Dolls stuff in New York#music#radio stuff#rockstars#rock stars#rock musicians#70s music#80s music#70s rock#80s rock#this post is just about what 'dope' means to different demographics#drugs tw

my favourite fact about Gary Lightbody is he "struggles with" using Facebook but is perfectly well-versed in navigating the Tumblr interface (or at least would've been in 2020 when he last posted, unless staff completely change the interfact again)
Frontman Alex Kapranos, 33, is awake, if weary. He has fixed his intense stare on a laptop; the glow from the screen flatters his silent-movie-villain cheekbones, but not the dark circles around his green eyes.
Mindful of his sleeping bandmates, Kapranos begins to sing softly, reading the familiar lyrics of David Bowie's "Suffragette City" from the computer: "Oh, leave me alone . . . Oh, Henry, get off the phone." The band's sound engineer and I can't help ourselves: "Hey, man," we chime in. "This mellow-thighed chick just put my spine out of place," Kapranos continues, in a sweet tenor that's missing the snarl of his onstage voice.

You all are gonna love this one #inspiration
[ID: writing on a board held up by Alex Kapranos that says, "He feels no guilt about any of his pleasures, no matter how sick or depraved they are."]
Not in a thousand years would I have thought I'd ever read the names "Demi Lovato" and "Slash" on the same song credit; how did this happen I wonder?
#damn#new music#they've put out a new song together called Sorry Not Sorry#he does indeed solo – towards the end. He's mostly getting through muted power chords on the verses#but Demi's belting it out in the upper regions occasionally too#anyway#what#new releases#rock musicians#Demi Lovato#Slash#Saul Hudson#slash gnr? How do you guys tag him on the 'slash fiction' website#music
Actually Curley was SO based for saying this
