going to a show with these two in a few weeks (!!!) so i made a playlist to get excited, but have only realized how fully these two women encompass the full spectrum of emotions after someone has broken your heart. from missing them, to wanting revenge and wanting them to hurt, to loving them, to hating them, to slipping up and reaching out, to wondering where you went wrong, to changing yourself to make them want you more, to realizing you weren't enough because nothing ever will be, to knowing if you reach out you'll only lower your guard, to never knowing what you meant to them, and the interplay between all of those things. everything i've felt this month tenfold.
especially potent when you've spent a while not listening to these fun, poppy female artists you love so much because you were afraid you'd look less "cool" to some guy you like with strong music opinions. but i'm done feeling bad about what makes me feel happy and energetic. i don't care if it's cool or niche or cringe or not! i love women! i love having fun! i can only foster positive friendships and relationships going forward if i allow that for myself!

i aim to be as contrarian as possible when it comes to men-music (i do not enjoy sharing interests with that of men. sue me.) and have gone most of my life without hearing a single song from any of the "classic" bands.
last week while biking i gave in to spotify's recommendations and heard this song for the first time, come to find out its one of the cure's most popular songs of all time š¤£š¤£.
but wowwwwwwwwwwww. life changed. brain re-wired. ailments healed. needless to say i am obsessed.
and just like that........... i have started to broaden my spotify horizons (1/10th of the music in my library is now allowed to be occupied by men).

i always have to preempt this with āyeah sheās unbearable in the most minute and therefore most infuriating ways and someone who i Do Not Fuck With broadly, butā but this record does fully whip. do it with a rock star threatens to fall apart with every lurch and trout heart replicaās gorgeous. feels like records that werenāt predictive of post-2013 big indie have been lost in the shuffle, but so it goes.
i ended up coming back to this one after grumbling out of of the side of my mouth over chappell roan for the last little bit. iām pulling for her because she seems talented and sincere, and as a queer midwestern former theater kid myself sheās basically lesbian al gaib, but for me right now sheās held back because her whole ~thing still feels a little embryonic. sheās in that early marina + the diamonds space where sheās still figuring out how all the pieces fit together and canāt help but be a little more obvious and boring as a result. iād love to see her go full camp, let the music match the aesthetic.
and, as it goes online, my beef is more with the fans. people roast folks for falling for a half-dozen āfirst openly gay disney characterā plays, but donāt want to see lucy holding the football with the āfuture of queer popā girlies. the chappel stans annoy me, in other words. but then i remind myself they probably didnāt have a teen+college dresden dolls/amanda palmer phase, so we all get the loud gay shit we deserve
