music roundup (may21)
Sep. 4th, 2021 07:39 pmtoday's tour guide is huang renjun. you don't really know anything about him. he has a tin of colored pencils for some reason and you asked why and he said someone gave it to him and you asked who and he said "no one important" in the way that someone would say it if it was in fact someone very important. you figured it was none of your business though
really old roundup that at this point i don't even recall what i wanted to elaborate on because in my head this is rly the extent of the thoughts so ummmm okay surprise drop!!

- "better by boa never shouldve happened I cant believe its okay for an artist to just fucking cover and rerelease an extremely recent song and make money off of it like what"
- "like imagine if nct released like idk Scared by P1Harmony as a single and performed it onstage and everything about it was exactly the same except that it was nct singing it and it was Scared by NCT. THAT WOULD BE FUCKED RIGHT"

bts butter
- https://twitter.com/penicilliuhms/status/1395824679256997889?s=20
- "OKAY. i think bts butter is in A flat mixolydian (funk/blues sound), then switches to C natural minor for the chorus (descending down the scale for ~simplistic nostalgia sound~)"
- https://twitter.com/penicilliuhms/status/1395829050422308872?s=20 (https://twitter.com/harbor_jjk/status/1395820050200895489)
- "okay i said A flat mixolydian because it shares C with C natural minor....so it'd look prettier on sheet music....but technically G sharp mixolydian has the same notes just labeled differently so....yea"
it ended here but i definitely listened to more music than just this and i have spotify playlists for each month so i guess i can figure smth out with those sometime
