Cowboy carter has me in a chokehold

I think it's no secret that Beyoncé puts a lot of artistry and intention behind her albums and this one is no different. The way she catapulted multiple black country artists' careers in one fell swoop needs to be studied. But when it comes to this album for me personally, I found it to be incredibly evocative from the moment I first listened. I think it's because the subject matter of the album is about healing in a lot of the songs. I'm currently healing from pretty much my whole childhood and I think this album speaks to my inner child in ways I can't even explain. Thank you Beyoncé for bringing peace and joy to my inner child because she deserves it.

i listened to Beyoncé’s new album yesterday night and i loved it so much!! my favorite songs for now are “YA YA”, “TYRANT”, “II MOST WANTED”, “JOLENE”, “BLACKBIIRD”… i loved the vocal production, live instrumentation, and rich cultural history in this album. i will definitely be listening to this album again today!

putting A genre on shuffle

Beyoncé’s (re?)turn to country had me listening to all the country music I own and don’t listen to! so much nostalgia and stuff I haven’t listened to for a bit!

First of all welcome!!

- The grocery store franchise closest to you is possibly overcharging, so sometimes groceries become a sort of Halloween style I buy fruit from here, pantry things from here, etc etc - Lots of free things to do with a library card!! so many museums have discounted / free admission, the Met for example allows you to do a suggested donation when showing a library card - Obvious but tap water is 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 no need to buy fancy water when going out to eat (and on this note I always carry around a reusable water bottle and one of those little electric fans bc the temperature outside never matches the subway) - There is no greater joy than getting a blanket and a book and people watching on Sheep Meadow/the Mall/ at any park - Explore the other boroughs!! - It’s so cliche but you can stumble upon so many fun restaurants, events, bars, shops, concerts, museums, etc etc by just strolling around - In tandem with the above I sometimes check the Time Out NY website, the New York Times daily newsletter, New York Magazine. The New Yorker, etc for inspiration and info about things going on - Citymapper is your bff for navigating the subway/bus/transit/walking/etc and is great with keeping you posted on any delays - On this note also always check an MTA app or citymapper etc to see if trains are running, can save you time and sanity - So many free concerts and events at places like the 92nd Street Y, in Bryant Park, SummerStage in Central Park - If you like TV you can go to tapings of shows or get paid to be part of the studio audience on websites like 1iota or Shadow Casting and Productions - Also can get lots of free things from pop ups that different brands host throughout the city, my roommate usually finds them on instagram - Join the free rewards program of your favorite coffee place / grocery store/ etc
