Just really stunning early alt rock songwriting that Big Star is known for, but the guitars on this one are a big step up from #1 Record.

Way back on this day in 1977, a new CBGB-created template for guitar heroism was born. Think you ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป to the late Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd for showing us that not all guitar gods wear capes or โ€œIโ€™m working hard over hereโ€ faces. Cool art is possible without bullshit macho posturing. This song and album is ground zero for me. Six-string midnight mass. ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ โ€œI remember how the darkness doubled.โ€ About as New York City an album as I can conjure.

Strange guy and somewhat inconsistent, but a conceptual genius. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is my favorite scifi novel for how thematically relevant it is to the modern human experience. Slaughterhouse Five is amazing but only vaguely qualifies as scifi

I think reading good novels really helps with writing anything. Not much of a lyricst but taking phrases from somewhere and playing around with them is fun. I recommend Jeff Tweedy's (Wilco) How To Write One Song. It has some fantastic insights for beginners
