>>128838787>I have a shelf of books about Napoleonlearning about history or a historical figure is much different than learning about the occult and you know it.

brown zoomers think reading D&D supplements makes you a wizard
>>128838999>god forbid someone has a hobbyironically, accurate. when it comes to participating in the occult.
>>128838810He could have a million books on casting magic spells and it wouldn't make any of it real. If he could really do magic, he'd have revived his own career with it. QED
Marquee Moon [Elektra, 1977]I know why people complain about Tom Verlaine's angst-ridden voice, but fuck that, I haven't had such intense pleasure from a new release since I got into Layla three months after it came out, and this took about fifteen seconds. The lyrics, which are in a demotic-philosophical mode ("I was listening/listening to the rain/I was hearing/hearing something else"), would carry this record alone; so would the guitar playing, as lyrical and piercing as Clapton or Garcia but totally unlike either. Yes, you bet it rocks. And no, I didn't believe they'd be able to do it on record because I thought this band's excitement was all in the live raveups. Turns out that's about a third of it. A+
>>128838072I don't really care. He's 10x more talented than Julian Casablancas
>>128839409i'm pointing out that he's a grifter and manipulator. his bandmates had all the talent. he had secret pacts to get to the level of success that he did. many such cases.
>>128839456You don't think there could be any earthly explanation for a singer being less musically talented than his band? Has to be magic?
>>128838810>https://lithub.com/tom-verlaines-library-is-on-sale-and-its-wild/says he had all kinds of books on everything, clearly a seeker of knowledge and a /lit patrician
>>128840066no, why would a bunch of talented musicians rally behind a talentless hack. they practiced for 6 days a week for months before the performed live. why tf would they do that? he's lyrics aren't great, he vocals sound like shit, his guitar playing is retarded.
For me it'shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmowrByoKwI
>>128838878you will be astonished to learn, little zoomer, that once upon a time people took chances on things they thought were neat and/or interesting and weren't purely driven by profit
people who read books and have libraries are scary and should be avoided.
>>128838072>>128838810That makes way too much fucking sense now. You wouldn't believe what kind of turmoil that happened in my life when I first discovered marquee moon. Truth eventually comes to light in times of revelations.Additionally and perhaps most importantly, he was a fucking jew. A jew.A FUCKING JEW. FUCK SATAN AND FUCK KIKES.
>>128840274>seeker of knowledgeSo an engager of faggotry. Got it. Knowledge is gay and of the forbidden fruit. There's true knowledge and (((((knowledge))))) you get from books other than the good books. The latter tells you what you should really know if you weren't a fedora faggot. Fucking done with you hylics.
>>128838072if he was the antichrist then i'd know who he was lol
>>128839198kek
>>128840416>once upon a time people took chances on things they thought were neat and/or interesting and weren't purely driven by profitso naive.also, i'm not a zoomer.
>>128840297>he's lyrics aren't great, he vocals sound like shitOh, alright. I didn't realize you were an ESL retard. Go on believing in demons and witches, my brown friend
>>128838072>made marquee moonhe EARNED those occult books, as well as permission to make literally nothing of note after
I can't stand his reedy voice desu. He wrote some good songs though.
