  • I did mine with YouTube Music and my top artist was The Beatles. Second was Ringo Starr. Third is George Harrison. Fourth is Paul McCartney. Fifth was Hail the Sun.

    I just realised why The Beatles was number one at 10 hours, it was because I listened to the Anthology albums (1, 2 and 3), which are 2 hours and a half hours (give or take). And also the times I relistened to Now and Then.

    God this is fucking embarrassing hahaha.





  • So I think I’ve mentioned it before, but I’ve been listening to all the Beatles’ post-breakup albums.

    Originally this wasn't gonna be a spoiler but it ended up very long. So hey, if you wanna hear my thoughts on their post-Beatles stuff click here. You don't have to though. I just need to let someone know my thoughts.

    First is Lennon and like, eh? I mean, he has some pretty good songs, and obviously his discography is going to be vastly different to the others based off time and all. I liked Wall and Bridges and Double Fantasy, but his other stuff with Yoko is weird (and I say that as someone who will listen to scremo and speedcore), and Some Time in New York (1972) while interesting politically, it’s so jarring and really just… 70s. I mean their title track is Woman Is The N-Word of the World, which politically, I’m all for, but the title does make me uncomfortable, though that could be the point.

    Next is Harrison, which, I actually really like a lot of his songs. His 2-track album Electronic Sounds (1969) was definitely something. But All Things Must Pass is a hit for a reason, and it’s so sweet he wrote a song for the group of fans that would hang around Abbey Road. And When We Was Fab on his album Cloud Nine (1987) is a bop. Harrison was such a lyrical genius it’s a shame that he didn’t get many credits on The Beatles albums, because most of his are my favourites.

    At the moment I’m going through Ringo’s catalogue, and I’ve got to say, genre-wise I think that Ringo’s is the most varied. Obviously, Lennon didn’t really get a chance to follow the rising popular genres of the 80s, 90s, 00s and 10s compared to Harrison and in turn compared to Paul and Ringo. But man, sometimes you’ll get country, jazz, a bit of ska too, and then pop, electronic, soul. It’s wild. I think his early stuff is a little rough, but I guess it was really difficult for Ringo to get out of that bubble. The stuff I read about how he was scared that John, Paul and George were going to kick him out is just tough to read. But I’m actually digging more of his later stuff, I think I’ve got maybe one or two more EPs to go and then Ringo will be finished.

    Thus, the last one will be Paul. I left Paul for last because he’s my favourite, though I have heard his music post-breakup. I mean y’all heard the banger Temporary Secretary? Unironically slaps. But yeah, I mean I’ve heard some Wings stuff, I remember when Egypt Station (2018) dropped and I was walking to work and I loved it. But yeah, very keen.


  • Going on radio again tomorrow and I found out today that the 3/3a tram doesn’t go through St Kilda any more. So now I have to go to Malvern 😭 to catch a tram.

    Though tomorrow afterwards my sister is having her birthday dinner at a KBBQ place (which I’m pumped for but also jealous because I wanted to do KBBQ for my dinner last year but mum didn’t want to do that) so mum suggested that she can drive me to St Kilda. So whoo!











  • My ex-stepdad was (supposedly from his mouth but I went no contact with him once he left) a huge conspiracy theory person. Vaccines cause Autism, Alex Jones was a huge presence in my house, anti-anything left of centre. Funny thing is, he’s Canadian. But when he spoke to my mum about something she had contacted him about, he mentioned to her how the last lockdown at the time was what did it for him. And now he’s “supposedly” not a massive conspiracy theorist nut job. So what I’m trying to say is, yes, I agree, we need mental health professionals working with these people. Because if I can go off my ex-stepdad and his problems, then I’m sure there’s a large majority of these dickheads who are probably of similar or worse mental health.
