@holleysnaith.bsky.social📚 There’s nothing quite like visiting an archive. Spending several days at the Frist Library and Archive at the Country Music Hall of Fame was an unforgettable experience. So many fascinating documents, stories, and discoveries that will help shape my book. 🎶❤️

@grandaha.bsky.socialEveryone remembers Soundgarden for the heaviness, but the real signature is the math: riffs in 7/4, 9/8, 15/8, written to groove instead of to show off. Chris Cornell swore they didn't count — it just felt right. #Soundgarden #Grunge #OddMeter #MusicArchaeology #MusicHistory

@grandaha.bsky.socialEveryone hangs Soundgarden's heaviness on Chris Cornell's wail, but the real engine was Kim Thayil's detuned guitar — a trick he inherited from Tony Iommi. That's why the riffs groove instead of reading like a math exercise. #Soundgarden #Grunge #DropTuning #MusicArchaeology #MusicHistory
