The Guardian has a neat "how they made it" article on The Damned's "New Rose". [link]
Fun! The start of their career sounds as hectic and rapidfire as the song itself.
Yeah. He's my hero.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I saw a clip online of Paul McCartney talking to a CNN reporter at the anti-gun march in NYC. They were standing a few blocks from the Dakota. The very young reporter asked a question about legistative efforts to curb gun violence, and Sir Paul politely answered, and added "One of my best freinds was killed by gun violence right around here."
I'd bet a dollar the reporter still has no idea who McCartney was talking about.

I spent my whole lunch hour watching clips from School Rapper 2, a Korean rap competiton show involving kids born 1999-2001 (so, 16-18.) They are so good. (I am so old.)
This kid is AMAZING, and also talking about pretty taboo stuff: [link]

Congrats, BTS! I bought the album and I love it!

I bought it too. There's something so charming about the way kpop does physical albums, with photobooks and posters and stuff. (We got the Y version - double-denim.)
What's your favorite song? Mine is Truth Untold.

I got the U version - all white.
It's hard to pick a favorite. I don't normally like ballads, but The Truth Untold is so emotional (and it calms down my cats!).
Other favorites are Airplane Pt. 2, Outro: Tear and 134340. Also Anpanman is a lot of fun!
Have you seen any of the performances for Airplane Pt. 2 or Anpanman? Love them!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I, on the other hand, am a major sucker for ballads, especially minor key. I am no one's teenager and BTS is not coming for me, but I'm grabbing that one.

If you like Truth Untold you are likely to also like Intro: Singularity; give it a try.

You may be onto something there. In The Truth Untold I found V's vocals most interesting, and I like the guitar work in this one. I'd like it better, I think, if it built more to something, but it's worth some more listens.
