“John Lennon has been my idol all my life,” Kurt Cobain once scrawled in his journal. The comparisons to be drawn between Nirvana and the Beatles-specifically between Kurt Cobain and John Lennon-are plentiful. Musically, personally, and societally, the two have significant overlap that has been a fundamental influence on Nirvana’s music. I always knew that Kurt was a Beatles fan before starting the research into this video, but even I was surprised by quite how much it seemed to be.

    Liked the interview. Still pretty new to his channel. What I like about him is that you tell he's really knowledgable about all kinds of music, and while, clearly schooled in music (theory and whatnot), he doesn't disparage "fringe" music, like experimental and outsider stuff. What made me trust him as a source was the site. There's an interview with Jim O'Rourke and Jon Abbey from Erstwhile there. Actually ordered music from JA (I think), which he was distributing. Lot of Steve Roden stuff (RIP), and Olivia Block that I had a hard time finding. Didn't realize Fantano was from the East Coast. Not that it matters, but had wondered where he was from.

    A few years back I was going through some of Fantano's old emo reviews, and I came across one for an album called Supersonic Home by Adventures. It was a lower view video from 2015, and most of the comments were about how he had a full head of hair in the vid. But the way he described the album made it seem like something I'd really enjoy, and it's now one of my favorite albums. Super catchy, and some sweet vocal harmonies too. That's what I love about Fantano the most

    This was well researched and enjoyable to watch. Too bad you mostly glazed over my favorite song from the movie: Bird Song by the Holy modal rounders. It’s a song which still sounds bizarre and funny today. It’s also perfectly placed in the movie, with Jack Nicholson flapping his arms like they’re wings to the song.

    Shawn Lee and his Ping Pong Orchestra are responsible for one of (what I personally think is) the best songs of all time. Kiss the Sky. Ironically I heard it first in a game, Tales from the Borderlands, but that song has become one of my most listened to of all time, no matter my mood. Shout out Shawn and all his music, guy is a true artist and legend of the music world.
