Hi, babe 💌 You know what's been plaguing my mind for a while now?? rockstar AU tgm

Not necessarily rockstars, but like, what/how they would be as artists... ok hear me out KWJDKDKDK

I'm 100% sure rooster would be something like The Weeknd, bringing 80s tunes back and being super popular. He would know how to play a bunch of instruments and produce music, all thanks to his late rockstar father Goose, an absolute icon of the 80s that teached him everything he knows. (Goose would probably be part of a famous rock band with mav and ice hehe)

And hangman would be a country music star. There's no room for argument on this one lmao he'd have the most cocky annoying speeches on award shows and he'd constantly appear on those tacky gossip pages all over instagram/tiktok/twitter, showing up drunk to important events and allegedly hooking up with his fans but also being Texas' darling so he'd never flop or do any wrong on the eyes of his hardcore fans KSMSKSJDKS would definitely sneak the most foul double entendre spicy lyrics in his songs tbh...

I see bob as someone that would do music like Mac Demarco, Cults, TV Girl or Thee Sacred Souls. Something more romantic, calm and a bit of jazz influence maybe...? Songs you would listen to while reading a book or looking out a window while driving in the rain

I think payback would have some jazz influence too, like Nat King Cole or either something like New Order. Or even classic rock perhaps?? If not, I think he'd be a well-known producer like Jack Antonoff (taylor swift's producer) or Dr. Dre depending on his style

I can definitely see Phoenix as a rockstar girlie. Like Soho Dolls or Le Tigre typa beat. Or like Vic DeAngelis from Maneskin. OR OR she would sing the type of songs Mitski and Phoebe Bridges put out. She'd be so iconic plsss like when Hayley Kiyoko's fans call her lesbian jesus. Yes. Exactly.

Idk why but I think fanboy would probably be like a mixture of Steve Lacy and Kali Uchis. He'd slip spanish in his songs like kali and it would be a success I KNOW IT I feel in my bones. I bet he would serve LOOKS at the red carpet too and he'd be friends with so many artists

Coyote looks like he could pull off some mean R&B hits or even something like Tyler, The Creator. He'd have some incredible live performances and his fans would be so chill. He'd probably be the Mr. Worldwide of this generation and have a bunch of awesome collabs with a lot of artists, including his bff Jake hehe

And if they were a band??? I think bob would be a bassist and write their songs, rooster would be lead guitarist and vocalist, nat would sing too, javy would be the drummer and I haven't thought of other roles for the rest, I think I used all my brain juice on this one lmao

lmk your thoughts on this bc I can't stop thinking about it, it's such a cool concept 😩

ahhhh!!! i love love love this!! (i'm so sorry about getting to this so late)

i agree that Bradley's dad taught him everything he knows and also was famous in the 80s. i definitely know that he would make sadboy music, like the weeknd and joji. he would have some of the most beautiful music videos. i'm thinking of videos like Starboy by the weeknd and Tick Tock by joji.

and hangman? 100% correct. i think a lot of his music calls back to country music of the 90s though, a time he was nostalgic for and what influenced him to become an artist.

when i think of bob as an artist, rex orange county and mac demarco are definitely the first artists that come to mind. i think also someone like dayglow. but i also have thought that maybe he would be like marc rebilet. i could also see him as someone like tame impala.

i agree with payback being more of a producer who has made some music. i think it'd be music similar to what kendrick lamar has made. extremely impactful music. maybe something like denzel curry too. i just think his music would be very impactful. (ps. i love jack antonoff and have met him)

SZA is who comes to mind when i think of what artist natasha would be. so similar to the mitsuki and phoebe vibe. but the song Kill Bill by SZA screams nat to me. but also Silk Chiffon by MUNA also gives me nat vibes. (the versatility of woman)

i also 100% agree with your mickey analysis. i could also see him doing rap though. rich brian is who comes to mind if mickey rapped.

javy? i think javy would be closer to drake than tyler, sonically. maybe like pharrell (but his rap stuff)?? but if we are thinking out there bands, the flatbush zombies would be up that alley too. but i think that drake or maybe travis scott are the artists i think javy would be like.

Side A: Will

What does music mean to you? How does it make you feel?

Music's such a big part of my life. It sounds weird, I kind of set myself milestones in my life to do with music. If I've ever got university assignments coming up or anything, I'll be like, "Once you've got this out of the way, you've got a gig coming up." It's how I kind of set myself goals - I know I've got a sick gig coming up. Music is just such a big part of it. I've played instruments in the past. I've played drums in the past and I'm always listening to it and yeah, I love it. My whole family is really into music as well. And it almost just feels like part of my DNA at this point, to be honest.

How big of a part does music play in your life and career?

It is just a big part of my life, but career - I've always thought about maybe doing something related to music, cause I'm a marketing student, so I've always thought it would be cool to do some kind of marketing, for like a music firm or something. Working in music would be nice, it's just so hard to reach that stage. But if I'm dreaming maybe I can get into music at some point or work in the music field. That would be pretty cool.

What's a song you know word for word, bar for bar?

I'm gonna have to probably say - when I was like 14, 15 years old, I used to listen to so much Logic back in the day, I can't say I listen to him much now, but I used to love Logic - I think it's, there's two songs by him I mainly know. It's either Fade Away off of The Incredible True Story or his song All I Do, which was I think only just added to Spotify recently, but that's a really good song. And I'd say still check that song out. That's a good song.

Do you collect vinyl? If so what do you enjoy about it? And if not, how come?

I collect a lot of vinyl. I think I've been collecting since I was 15 years old. So I think the first vinyl I ever got was actually from my parents. That's how I got into vinyl collecting. And I think it was the Coldplay album with - I dunno what album it was, but it had a music video of a bunch of monkeys dancing - I know it was that album, whatever that was. So I got that, that was my first ever vinyl. I think the next one was also from my parents and it was, Ed Sheeran - Divide as well, I think. But since then, over the last five years, I've kind of been building up my collection into genres I like a bit more, so I've been buying a lot of Hip Hop, a lot of R&B records. And I think my records [are] over like 70, 80 vinyls at this point. I love collecting vinyls and I think the reason why I do it as well is just it's I feel like vinyls are almost an experience. Anyone can just get their phone, slap on Spotify or Apple Music and just play music, but vinyls give you that authentic feel. I don't even know if it's the sound as such, it's just the whole process of getting the vinyl, flipping over to the B side. It's just a really cool experience and yeah, I'd recommend everyone get into vinyl collecting, to be honest.

Tell me about your favourite concert that you went to.

This is probably the hardest question yet. I haven't been to loads, but I've gone to a lot of my favorite artists now. So I've seen Slowthai a few times. I've seen Loyle Carner a few times, Cavetown, Rex Orange County a few times, but I think gig that really, really blew me away was seeing Childish Gambino, at The O2 in London, it's just unbeatable. I idolize Donald Glover so much and to see him live - admittedly I wasn't the standing, I was sat down, but even still, that gig was that gig was incredible. He's such an icon. And I would do anything to watch that again.

Your favourite lyric?

This isn't gonna be the conventional answer for "favorite lyric." I'm really weird, how my brain processes lyrics and music. I don't remember lyrics. Other than, like I said, a few songs if I listen to [it] a hundred times, but I know some people listen to songs like three times and pick up on it instantly, my mind just doesn't work like that. And I think it's 'cause I was a drummer in the past, whenever I listen to music, I always listen to the beat of the music. So I always hear the drums, maybe the snares, the bass drum or the toms and stuff. My mind just subconsciously automatically goes to the drums itself. I just don't really pick up lyrics. I honestly just, can't say I have one off the top of my head to choose from.

Give me the name of a playlist you made with no context.

hotboysummer

What are your desert island disc albums?

So if I had to pick three albums, I'm trying to think the first would Not Waving But Drowning by Loyle Carner. Second would probably be Because the Internet by Childish Gambino. And I reckon the third would be - I listen to a lot of indie, bedroom pop. So probably Sleepyhead by Cavetown for the third one.

Tell me about music your parents played while you were growing up.

So both my parents, they used to love the movie Amelie which is a French film that I'd highly recommend. My mum in her car, I remember she always used to play the CD of the Amelie soundtrack. I'd probably say that was kind of what I'm used to. My dad used to play a lot of James Blunt back in the day, so maybe one of the older James Blunt albums as well.

Briefly talk me through the songs you put in this playlist, what do they mean to you.

When I was compiling the playlist and the songs, I kind of wanted a bit of everything. I listen to a lot of bedroom pop and stuff, that's the kind of music I listen to when I want to chill. Then I have bunch of rap on there. I kind of just picked stuff that was from when I was growing up, like the main artists I used to listen to. I used to listen to so much EDEN in the past. More recently in the last year, since the Pony era, I've been listening to Rex a lot more. Loyle Carner - I'm a huge, huge fan of who I've seen at Glastonbury a few times. I just picked out a bunch of artists that just mean a lot to me personally. So I've met Loyle Carner in person before. He was absolutely amazing, he's such a nice guy. I met Rex the other week at his London popup show. Then I guess the one other that wasn't like normal music was One Summer's Day which is, I can't remember the composer - Joe Hisaishi, I think, for Spirited Away, but Spirted Away was such a big part of my childhood, so that album, all the music, just means a lot to me. It tears me up whenever I listen to it, 'cause I love that movie so much. But yeah, like I said, I just picked a bunch of songs that I loved, from artists I've loved throughout the years. That's the gist of it.
