listening to the Rubber Soul remix, which, whatever, I've got the mono mix regardless, but struck anew by how You Won't See Me is still pretty much what power pop sounds like 60 years later, not in a sense of stasis, more in an 'oh this invented this sound that everyone's been playing with since'

this is legitimately very sweet and presumably provides an answer to why this man has gone his whole life being told 'hey you know who you really look like?'

I have since revisited the first album and there's a heavy nostalgia factor at play but I am fairly certain that were I hearing this for the first time now I would not like it

[Nicolas Cage watching Iron Man 2] Marvelous. Terrific.
It’s safe to say Nicolas Cage isn’t a big fan of where the Marvel Cinematic Universe is headed.

During a recent Q&A at Fan Expo Dallas, the Oscar winner said he misses when movies in the MCU prioritized story over action, describing newer films as “well-funded and glorified WWE.”

“It started out, in my view, terrific. Some of the early stories were marvelous,” Cage told the crowd. “The way that they wove all the threads together and told the different character stories and backstories.”

it must sting a little to be U2 and have written a song about Rosalía in an attempt to seem relevant only for a significantly younger and currently more popular Dublin band to preempt your new album featuring that song about Rosalía by a month with a track actually featuring Rosalía
Fontaines D.C.'s upcoming Dopamine Chamber promises to be one of the biggest rock albums of the fall, and it could be something special. The band has been debuting new songs live lately, and we've already heard lead single "Marianne." The record has the group's first-ever featured-guest collaborator: Rosalía, who shows up on the as-yet-unheard "Where Is Gone?" Today, Fontaines share the LP's second single, and it's a good one.

I stopped the episode partway through to listen to the albums again so there's a chance Steven mentions this but you can really hear on Strangeways how easy it was for Johnny Marr to make a sideways move to The The almost immediately afterwards
