Brian and Roger without fail every time they imitate or paraphrase Freddie:

Q: “Peter, starting with Headquarters in 1967, it seems you were one of the first guys to actually make the banjo a significant element of pop-rock songs.” Peter Tork: “I wasn’t even thinking about doing that. I just thought, ‘The banjo would sound good here.’ If I’m fond of my own work at all, it’s the opening lick to ‘You Told Me’ from Headquarters. The guitar starts off [mimics guitar] and then the banjo cuts in [mimics banjo] and suddenly, you’re in a whole new realm. To me, building those kinds of textures is what music is all about, and there are a couple of places where the banjo contributed nicely to the Monkees’ basic rock. It seems I’m a rocker who happens to play banjo, or a banjo player who happens to rock. I don’t know.” Q: “Was it pretty seamless when you first started working out your parts for Headquarters, or did the whole studio look at you and go, ‘Peter, what are you doing with a banjo?’” Peter: “It was seamless. Everybody knew I had a banjo, and so they knew it was part of what I brought to the table musically. Nobody was surprised.” - Guitar Player Magazine, October 2016 “[On ‘You Told Me,’] it really kills when the banjo comes right in the middle and then the band hits with that nice bass drop. That moment is really exciting, that’s what music is supposed to be.” - Peter Tork, Headquarters, 1995 liner notes

ao3 turns 15 today

reblog if youre older than ao3

(there's a lot of people asking about this, but the legal age to use social media is 13, except in few countries. so yes, there are people here under 15)

there really is nothing that can recreate the experience of listening to a song for the first time again, but if you want to get close. listen to it in a better quality. listen to it on cd. listen to it on vinyl. listen to it on different speakers. listen to it on better speakers. listen to it on worse speakers. listen to the remaster. listen to the original master. go for a walk at a place and time that matches its vibes and listen to it then. a good song is full of layers that you can tease apart and find more magic inside, even when you thought you found it all.
