If you know me you know I have a lifelong obsession with Stevie Nicks. I donāt know how to say this without sounding stupid but I just think sheās the most perfect woman in the world, with a voice kind of like a goat but also an angel. Before Fleetwood Mac, she and Lindsay Buckingham put out Buckingham Nicks, which was critically a total bust, but itās my favorite āā folksier and rawer than any of the high-gloss Cali pop theyād make with the Mac. Just listen to this.
I had never listened to their music except the really popular ones. Until two and a half weeks ago when my cousin, who is their biggest fan, gave me all their lore and info on each album. Iāve been so so hooked, I canāt stop listening to them. He had me listen to one album per day and guys, I swear my life has changed. I have a TON of recs but the one that stands out is Rhiannon along with my favorite live versions of it: 1. The Dance
2. Live from Burbank Studios CA ā76
3. Live from Wembley Arena UK ā80
4. Mirage Tour ā82
5. And the best one of all, the one from the music video which unfortunately is not in Spotify but I linked it!
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.
gonna preface this and say no hate to stevie,
obv her legacy is set in stone and this is but a blip on her timeline - but GOD this song is awful. stevieās slacktavist white guilt spirit guide dream song was a wild thing to get greenlit
I went to Miami for Art Basel and by the end of the weekend I was filled with hangxiety so I spent an extra day sitting on the beach reading Stephanie LaCavaās newish novel I Fear My Pain Interests You. Itās about the daughter of two punk rock stars who suffers from ācongenital analgesia,ā which means she feels no physical pain, and though itās definitely not a breezy beach read, it destroyed me, in a good way.
Last year I watched Orlando, the 1992 period drama based on the Virginia Woolf novel of the same name, starring Tilda Swinton, for the first time. In case you donāt know, itās about an Elizabethan nobleman who canāt die and one day wakes up to discover heās a woman. I donāt think Iāll ever go six months again for the rest of my life (presumably, unlike Orlando, Iāll die one day) without watching it. It hurts when she breaks the fourth wall.
Iām a longtime cigarette smoker (Marlboro Lights) but this year I accidentally got into vaping and my favorite vapes are the lychee flavored Myles. Theyāre super dainty and very chic to dance with in addition to being SO DELICIOUS. Pair it with a lychee martini from Indochine and thatās one tasty, sugary skinny girl meal.
