MTV didn't exist; we only had three channels on TV, but one of them was called Disco with Ilja Richter. Back then, people still handed out roses and kisses, and they even displayed the bands' addresses so fans could write to them. Fashion was characterized by long sleeves and colorful clothes. It was a normal and peaceful time.

a song for the AI fan guy

 

Something happy and non-political to brighten up your weekend!

 

Just the usual: guitar. I don't know what the "trend" is these days, but I have a feeling that most teens still choose the guitar.

 

Devin Wild - Mind Of A Psycho

 

Talking Heads - Psycho Killer

Pixies - Where Is My Mind

 

Agreed.

 

It's reasonably portable and chordal/polyphonic, unlike, say, a flute, so there's that. I have a guitar too, but have yet to learn it.

 

IST IST - Wolves

 

Skywatchers - Dead Flowers For Her (Slow build!)

"The term 'zophos' (ζόφος) has Greek origins and is associated with darkness and gloom. It is used in biblical texts to describe a profound absence of light, often evoking feelings of despair and spiritual judgment. The term is frequently linked to themes of judgment and the nether world, indicating a state of oppressive darkness that can be 'felt'." ~ Copilot search consolidated results quote
