Jimi Hendrix - Manic Depression

Spoiler

My life: encapsulated.

 

[AprilR]

Peter Murphy is such a Cancer. If astrology not real why is he like that.

 

[Slim Jim]

@AprilR I'm a Cancer....My father too, and my cousin. But I could have been a Leo. Peter Murphy, I don't much about him, part of "Bahaus" . I assume you mean he's moody or something, brooding, introverted maybe.

RHCP - Knock Me down

Written at a very dark time in his life. Keidis lost his friend to overdose, and was battling his own addictions.

 

[AprilR]

^Whoa i admit i didn't see that coming! I would say you were a Sagittarius maybe.

The Cancer stereotype is very emotional, dramatic and moody, and Peter Murphy is singing dramatically in a moonlit forest about god knows what, seems very cancerian. (Cancer is even ruled by the Moon so it all makes sense!)

 

[Slim Jim]

I read that thing as a kid, cancer , thinking; "so this is supposed to describe me!?" "emotional, dramatic and moody," I guess I am all that. But I find out many years later, I'm technically a Cancer - Leo cusp...so I'm supposed to be this too:

Spoiler

Leo traits
Strengths: Creative, passionate, generous, warm-hearted, cheerful, humorous
Weaknesses: Arrogant, stubborn, self-centered, lazy, inflexible
Leo likes: Theater, taking holidays, being admired, expensive things, bright colors, fun with friends
Leo dislikes: Being ignored, facing difficult reality, not being treated like a king or queen

 

[Slim Jim]

Spoiler

Cancer traits
Strengths: Tenacious, highly imaginative, loyal, emotional, sympathetic, persuasive

Weaknesses: Moody, pessimistic, suspicious, manipulative, insecure

Cancer likes: Art, home-based hobbies, relaxing near or in water, helping loved ones, a good meal with friends

Cancer dislikes: Strangers, any criticism of Mom, revealing of personal life

Spoiler

So that would mean....
Slim Jim traits
Strengths: Creative Tenacious, passionately imaginative, generous and loyal, sympathetically warm-hearted, emotionally cheerful, persuasively humorous
Weaknesses: Moodily Arrogant, suspiciously stubborn, manipulative and self-centered, pessimistically lazy, inflexibly insecure
Leo likes: Artistic Theater, taking holidays and never leaving the hotel room, being admired poolside, expensive bright colored food, helpful fun with friends
Leo dislikes: Being ignored by strangers or Mom, facing difficult reality revealing of personal life, not being treated like a royalty

I guess... That's....about right ....

QOTSA - No One Knows

Entire album is great. Songs for the deaf.

 

[AprilR]

Watch me derail this to an astrology thread lol. I know the star signs of almost every musician and actor i like.

 

[Slim Jim]

Spoiler

@AprilR That sounds obsessive....There's many musicians I admire, but I have no idea when most were born, maybe 2% I might be able to name the year. I once did check (celebs) who shared my birthday. Got a long list.
I reluctant to name them, as it's giving my date of birth away, but one was "1/2 a lethal weapon," one a "goblin of certain colour," and the other was a "heartbreaker." Those I remember, share my birthday.

- Stair Way to Heaven

Spoiler

I have no idea what you mean by obsessive i just like to research birth charts of fictional characters and also dead musicians *shrug*

Listening to Joy Division when you aren't depressed is pretty relaxing.

 

[Slim Jim]

Spoiler

Oh okay, That's cool with me. Fictional characters?? I wonder what Donald duck and mickey mouse, birth charts are...

Jimmy Morrison and The Doors of Perception.

 

[Katienator]

I don't know why but I love this.

Tongue Tied by Grouplove

 

[Katienator]

Something about that band reminds me of Team Me.

Oh that seems like a cool song, I'll check it out. Yeah, Tongue Tied was my jam in 2011-12.

"The King "Elvis Aaron Presley - All Shook Up

Spoiler

Elvis breakfast =

 

[Slim Jim]

"The King "Elvis Aaron Presley - Heartbreak Hotel

Spoiler

Maybe his best song...well actually "It was written by Tommy Durden and Mae Boren Axton, "
"Axton presented the song to Presley in November 1955 at a country music convention in Nashville. Presley agreed to record it, and did so on January 10, 1956"

Elvis "the King" Presley - Don't Be Cruel

Spoiler

Damn wish I had that look. I'm thinking to try to copy his mannerism.. (?*Is this andy kaufmanesqe level strange*? ) ...just the smirk and all that. Not talking about being an impersonator, that would be weird.

Incidentally Elvis was a Jim Morrison influence. The Baritone. The Charisma. I've always liked 50's Elvis.
