Like many Canadian women of a certain age (20), I am an Avril devotee. The thing that I love so much about Avril is that sheās kind of insane and a lot of her songs donāt make sense (I really like to think about which Radiohead song she could possibly have been singing at the top of her lungs ā fitter happier?).Ā Her first album is obviously nothing but hits from start to finish, but the most underrated track is Nobodyās Fool. Itās like kind of a spoken-word style rap about the music industry, and itās not technically āgoodā by any stretch of the word, but I laugh out loud every time I listen to it and sometimes also start tearing up for reasons I donāt understand. She sounds super serious and severe the whole time but sheās rapping lines like āIām not the milk and cheerios in your spoonā. I play it every time I walk to the grocery store.

Drunkenly screaming Radiohead songs blaring from a boombox with the one I love, what a beautiful image Avril has painted. She might be my favorite Canadian.

can we normalize not knowing genres or the nitty gritty of why you like a song and accept that some people just like it based on vibes? (itās me. iām some people)
-āFrom The Startā by Good Kid
covers often are hit or miss, but this is an absolute banger. somehow combining the jazz of the orginal Laufey tune with indie rock is everything anyone could possibly need and more. plus the indie rock makes the heartthrob of the lyrics hit so much harder. the delivery of the lyrics is just š
itās just the perfect song to belt out and i love it so much
-āSaturday Sunā by Vance Joy
indie folk!!! highly recommend!!! this shit is amazing!! the good vibes and the hope this song brings is just it.Ā
something something being in love and being happy. this song is just great
-āAbout A Girlā by Nirvana
I really like grunge rock apparently. depressing grunge rock. and this is depressing as shit.
just- it- yeah i donāt even know what to say about this song. itās great and sad and- yeah
yay! unhealthy relationships! (ahhhhhh)
-āSilver Springsā by Fleetwood Mac
i already posted aboutĀ Rumours, but this is my favorite off the album, and itās not even actually on the original album. passing this over for āI Donāt Want To Knowā was certainly a choice, but i wasnāt alive in 1977 so what do i care? (i love both songs)
in terms of the actual song, i donāt have a marriage thatās coming to a tulmoltuous end, but the feminine rage emitted from this song is everything. if you aināt singing your heart out in the second half, youāre doing it wrong.

-āManchildā by Sabrina CarpenterĀ
this song is so condescending of himbos and i think itās the funniest thing. its so catchy and i love it! the chorus is- i canāt think of any other word to describe it other than adorableā¦ whichā¦ is not the right word, but i love sabrina carpenter and her vibe. her breathy vocals are just everything this song needs. like her sounding so cutesy while insulting her ex-lovers is so funny.
and the music video is absurdist western nonsense and itās amazing.
-āDiscoā by Surf Curse
this is what being head over heels sounds like. the compassionate love oozing from this song is everything. and theres something about the way the singer sounds and the distortion or whatever put over his voice that makes everything hit so much harder.
indie rock love songs are my weakness (if anyone has anything like this, PLEASE SHARE)
-āIn Heavenā fromĀ Eraserhead
so iām not willingly listening to this song, but itās unfortunately been stuck in my head. itās so damn creepy, i hate it. but i also love it. being from a dream sequence movie that relies heavily on the soundtrack and sound design, this song is perfect. David Lynch knew what he wanted for this song and he made it happen.Ā
-āTake Fiveā by Paul Desmond / The Dave Brubeck Quartet
thereās a reason this song is a jazz standard. just something about a silly time signature, a solo saxophone, a two chord syncopated vamp, and the drums chilling on the (ride?) cymbalĀ
and this song is kinda special to me as itās one of the first songs that really got me into jazz. and my schoolās jazz band almost played it but our director thought it was too difficult and we didnāt have the time to learn it. iām still pretty salty about that :(
-āgood 4 uā by Olivia Rodrigo
bandle in 5 on this one. and honestly thatās how i remembered this song existed and found out i actually love it lol. the genre hint was pop punk and im like āolivia rodrigoās pop punk?ā and then i put this on and im like āhell yeah she isāĀ
i hate that i can almost relate to the lyrics too. iām going through that canon event in a girls life of that guy sheās never dated. and i used to see him everyday in school and we talked, kinda. but now that schools done, now what? and i really like him and tried to put effort into our relationship, even just as friends. but heās barely trying, and still has the gall to call me a dear friend and ask what im doing FOUR YEARS IN THE FUTURE. ok rant over. š
you will find me head banging over this song and you cannot stop me.Ā

often when something noteworthy happens to me -- a negative sexual experience, an awkward date, a weird subway encounter -- i'll have the impulse to post about it on twitter. but then i think, what if i texted this to my friend instead? and then you can text it to your friend, maybe even one you haven't texted in a while, and they will probably be happy to hear from you directly and you will have strengthened a beautiful relationship. all tweets are spiritually corrosive and the spirit of your new interpersonal bond will persevere long after platforms are dead

my job is being a writer which means i have a lot of free time and it also means that fun group events within my industry are rare. this opens up the wonderful world of being a GROUPIE -- a quasi-professional fan of the talents of others. i am not a comedian but through being a comedy groupie i have reaped the greatest benefit of the trade (funny friends) without ever having to set foot on an improv stage. i am not a musician but through being a music groupie i get to listen to my friends play beautiful songs and sometimes play with them for fun. i am not in fashion but being a fashion groupie means i get to hang out with impossibly stylish and knowledgeable women and sometimes try on beautiful clothes. being a master of none means you get to hang out with the masters of everything and it rocks. and all that is demanded of you is that you love and appreciate wonderful art -- DONT MIND IF I DO !
