a dive into august moon's (tiny) discography 🌙🩷
From what we know about August Moon, the fictional boy band from The Idea of You, they are meant to be a conglomerate of a bunch of different boy bands and artists – an ode, a homage, to this era of music, if you will. Obviously, by looking at the members themselves, you can draw similarities between certain members of - ahem - another well-known boy band, but this post isn’t about them. This is about the music because I’m insane and I have Thoughts I’d like to share.
Taste: After my very first listen of Taste, I immediately noticed the inspiration drawn from modern K-Pop, specifically BTS (and from interviews, Nick has mentioned they looked to BTS to help build August Moon’s dynamic). Sonically, Taste has a similar beat, tone, and structure to BTS’ Butter. All we’re missing really is a bar or two from their Rap line, which is unfortunate that they don’t have one. Taste is the most upbeat out of the five August Moon songs we get and relies heavily on electronic dance and disco elements that is reminiscent of K-pop music production. But also, after sending this song to a friend, it reminded her of Jonas Brothers and DNCE, which is not entirely far off, too.
Dance Before We Walk: This is the first song that introduced us to August Moon, and I think this was a good choice for a debut single. It brings elements of electronic dance and rock that is very One Direction-esque. However, it still brings something fresh, new, and unique, which is what they needed to really sell August Moon as a boy band, even if they’re not technically a real one. But they’re still real in my heart. Hayes has bewitched me.
Closer: The one thing that stands out to me about this song - besides that first line of the chorus (you know the one) - is the driving bass line that carries the heart of the song. If you know me, you’d know how much I appreciate a good bass. No other August Moon song has the bass turned up so loudly that it holds a melody of its own, and because of this, Closer, I think, is a modern take on 1960s boy bands like the Beatles or the Beach Boys. Paul McCartney of the Beatles prided himself on a melodic bass line, and Closer, to me, pays homage to that.
I Got You: When Nick said this was his favorite because it’s so cliche, I didn’t believe him, but after I listened to it, it is very much the most cliche song I’ve ever heard. This is what I imagine to be August Moon's One Less Lonely Girl, where they bring a girl from the audience and serenade them, or their Little Things because boy bands sure do love pointing out a girl’s insecurities and saying how much they love her despite them. It’s so cliche that it also reminds me of Big Time Rush more than anything (Cover Girl, anyone?), and I feel like this is the most accurate comparison I could come up with.
Guard Down: Sorry, but this is the most One Direction song that ever One Directioned. This song could have been from Take Me Home, and I wouldn’t have known the difference. I feel like what sets this one apart from the other songs is that it relies heavily on the rock/pop elements that are obviously a nod to One Direction, especially in their Take Me Home era. This is probably why I love this song so much because it reminds me of a time when life was so simple. I was just a girl in high school listening to Rock Me and just giggling about these five boys from the UK.
[BONUS] Go Rogue: There is no doubt that Hayes’ performance of Go Rogue on the Graham Norton Show is a direct comparison to Harry who was just beginning his solo career. Go Rogue is very reminiscent of Harry’s debut self-titled album (From the Dining Table, Sweet Creature, etc.). The song itself is very pared down compared to August Moon’s songs. Very minimal production - just a voice, guitar, and piano - which isn’t dissimilar to what Harry’s self-titled album is like. There is a layer of yearning that is also borrowed from Harry’s lyrics and sound, and I think it is a beautiful homage to the passage of time and to Harry himself.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk <3

physics professors are really going through it- every day, I think about my quantum physics professor who once went on a rant about how there's too many types of mustard these days followed by the words "well, at least quantum physics is less complicated than the mustard aisle" followed by one of the most cursed derivations I have ever seen
#i think this is professors in general tbh#you apparently have to go a little bonkers to be in academia#i have so many stories#one of my professors once played jeopardy music while waiting for an answer to a class exercise#truly wild#physics#academia#university#college#astrophysics#for anyone that is interested in what we were working on#i believe it was the schrödinger equation for the free particle#not the worst but Bruh#me when scattering states

it's immensely funny to me how andrew lloyd webber read this passage from the book and was like yeah the journey down to the phantom's lair is this really breathtaking magical gondola ride where christine is just captivated by the strange and fantastical beauty of it all (see below)
when in the novel they're both like in a rowboat in the dark with christine scared out of her mind and confused as hell while erik is paddling like he's out for an extreme day of fishing and just staring christine down for the entire duration of the journey without blinking once . like mind you his eyes quite literally GLOW in the DARK and he's just fucking staring into her soul and silently rowing and probably not even breathing like
#AND IT'S SOMEHOW STILL HOT#i always forget that by this point in the book there's no “i am your angel of music / come to me angel of music” like in the musical#like she has no idea who this mf kidnapping her is and when she says “who are you where is the voice” he's just like 🙄#and when she DOES find out that *he's* the voice and he's been pretending to be an angel sent by her dead father for 3 months#it's when he's just set her down in his sitting room that's filled with a bunch of stupid pretentious flowers#and he's like “don't be afraid you're in no danger” despite the fact that she's been taken FIVE STORIES BENEATH THE OPERA against her will#by the guy who's been manipulating and lying to her through the goddamn walls#ohhhhhhhh and then fans have the audacity to get mad at christine for trying to snatch his mask like THIS MF ABDUCTED HER????#(still love him though <3)#(his morals are questionable but so is my interest in men😍)#phantom of the opera#poto#poto shitpost

Practising Goncharov Theme by @caramiaaddio on violin bc I thought it would add an extra layer of haunting…ness (is that a word?)
Here’s the excerpt I’m playing in the video:
Despite it being in a fuck off key for violin it is a really beautiful piece and it’s absolutely worth the trouble of practising in second position (world’s most hated position) and I’m HOPING 🤞 I can record and (maybe) post a full cover of it someday
#goncharov#music#violin#goncharov theme#oh man i have not posted my face in a very very very long time#possibly years#am i freaking out about it? a little#could i have converted this to audio instead?#well. yes but. it’s not exactly awesome quality in this practise room lmao#i so so badly wanna write out all the technical things I’m doing/focusing on here bc GRRR TECHNICAL WORK IS SO INTERESTING TO ME#but i would be typing out a whole essay probably and i don’t think my followers really. care that much about violin tech#lest they also play violin#i have one (1) known mutual who plays violin and that’s IT#apologies for the metronome ticking in the video#it can be very irritating to listen to#alas… it is also important for not speeding up when playing#anyways#hi caramiaaddio you don’t know me but big fan of what you’ve written here#ESPECIALLY THE CHROMATIC BITS OUGHHHH#the little semiquavers that poke their heads through like TWICE are surprisingly hard#but also they sound extra creepy in a good way#BIG fan#wait wait WAIT WAIT#i think this is my first time posting any of my violin playing here like. EVER.#I’ve been here for OVER A DECADE#AND I’M POSTING MY VIOLIN FOR THE FIRST TIME. FOR FUCKING. GONCHAROV.#i don’t have the right emoji for how I’m feeling rn#personal#mine#my face

I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :
-
(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )
#tumblr polls#hrmm... a little poll perhaps.. about a subject I find interesting.. since this image came across my facebook today#still really not feeling that well. no longer shaking violently and such but I still feel weird and weak much more than usual#They did say my markers for like infection or inflammation were elevated but that they werent sure of the cause so hopefully#it's nothing too serious. they did also say a lot of different things can cause that thing to be higher than normal but didn't go into spec#fics of what. maybe some of them are relatively benign or something. I still havent felt much back to normal since#I got really sick that one time though. I feel fine on and off but then little bouts of feeling weird and sick happen. hrmmm#ANYWAY.. looking for small ways to be productive. such as little doodles on evil ipad or editing game videos#or posting polls or cat pictures or some other like not very labor intensive things#I WISH I COULD FOCUS on writing HHRGGhh... I need to finish my game.. it would be so freeing.. a project that's been looming#over my head for like 5 years even though througouht that 5yrs I've probably spent a total of 3 months working on it lo.. ANYWAY#I still partially really cannot beleive that people CAN see stuff in their heads. There's always part of me that's thinking like. well mayb#e everyone DOES see the same exact thing but we just describe/conceptualize it so differently that we think we're talking about#different things when we're really not. But I have been assured by people I've talked to about it that they can GENUINELY really see#stuff in their heads like as vivid as an actual picture in real life or something. And the other senses are neat too. Like for exmaple I#can hear in my head much better than I can see imagery. I still CANNOT hear vividly like as if I were listening to actual music out loud..#but I think it's developed more than my sight. AND interesting how this varies the creative process. a friend I was talking to on the phone#said they write by literally just watching stuff play before them like a movie. where my process is COMPLETELY different. AND that affects#the content/what details we focus on as well as our individual styles of writing have differences that can be traced back to that.. hrmm

so fobcore to be up for two awards they deserve to win, lose both of them, not even show up to the awards show But dress up in silly outfits for their prerecorded performance. would expect nothing less from the band of all time tbh
#can i go on a more serious ramble in the tags#lets go for a more serious ramble in the tags#fob exist in such a weird space in the scene and pop culture like they are literally one of the most popular bands on earth#yet are constantly snubbed and not considered and not included and are always the underdogs in everything#they have influenced pop culture so much and yet are never recognized for it#and i think it’s a space theyre very comfortable being in like. they are loved and recognized by people who truly get them and mostly#ignored by those who dont and those who dont are. the majority of the music scene#but idk it’s just so interesting to me how they can be so popular and beloved and influential yet such underdogs all at once#and that is who they always have been and who they always will be but idk. sometimes i wish they got recognized a lot more#bc they deserve it. they might be happy occupying the space they do but. give them some fucking awards please JFKDNF#txt#p: 100

Hi hi hi! So, quick question, what's your opinion on The Amazing Digital Circus? It's been trending and I wonder what's your opinion on it. Also, your amazing!!!! (And if you do like it, who's your favorite character???)
OH I LOVE TADC! Its a VERY interesting show!
As for my favorites, i absolutely ADORE KINGER AND CAINE!
Kinger because... well, look at him
silly lil guy energy right there!
As for Caine, he is MUCH more gentler and sweeter than he seems. A lot more interesting then the regular "sentient AI that wants to torture humanity"
He seems like he does genuinely care, but he has no idea how humans work.
also, a cool thing my beloved mutual @ch3rie-pop figured out! (<-go check out her lovely art too!)
Cherie said that Caine doesnt have the ability to watch over everyone (since Pomni DID find herself in the VOID) and only says these kinds of stuff just to discourage everyone from doing stuff that they obviously shouldn't!
ALSO HE DOES CARE SOMEWHAT! look how considerate he is of Zooble's feelings
AND YOU ARE AMAZING TOO @lemoncoffee-or-bored!!!
#the amazing digital circus#tadc caine#tadc kinger#answered asks#lemon its always a pleasure seeing you!#but yeah Kinger is so silly#and Caine is a LOT more interesting than he seems#I also dont get the Jax hype either#....Hes not all that interesting to me...#OH NO#WHY DO I HEAR BOSS MUSIC???#AAAAAAAAAAA#THE JAX FANS#THEY ARE COMING FOR ME#OH NOOOOOOOOOOO

"...What is it?"
"The drums...they mean trouble. I shouldn't be here—"
"I want to see you again—"
"I can't—"
"Please don' t leave—"
"—I'm sorry."
"..."
"...I have to go now."
—Pocahontas (1995)
#tfw ur really connecting with a guy and the fucking air raid sirens go off#pocahontas (1995)#disneyedit#pocahontasedit#pocahontas x john smith#pocahontas#john smith#they were all feeling a kind of way at the studio huh?#but fr like her look of panic when she hears the drums always stuck with me as a kid#and only now am i realizing the reason those drums are probably a Big Deal is bc her tribe JUST got done fighting a war with another tribe#she's been hanging out with smith all day. she doesn't /know/ that a scouting party had been sent out and one of her own got shot#she was just tailing the one guy on her own and then having a whole musical number and flirting n having a good time#and all of a sudden the red alert is blaring and now she's having war flashbacks#literally those drums could be for anything as far as she knows. i'd be on edge too.#also this lil animation sequence is so interesting#it strikes me as very 'old hollywood' in the blocking and the body language#it's the 'oh but we mustn't!' of it all#ahhh i'm a sucker for it every time#queso*edit#queso*gifs
