SONGS IM LISTENING TO NOW

there is no rhyme or reason to my taste in music. when i say i listen to everything, i mean EVERYTHING i am in no way, shape, or form good at music analysis. this is all based purely on vibes. i like music. how much do i need to explain? -Currents by Tame Impala the entire album. this is me getting into the psychedelic, dance type beat. and i really like it. it’s different but still similar to the pop that i typically enjoy. my favorites off the album are “Moments”, “Let It Happen”, “Cause I’m A Man”, and “The Less I Know The Better”. despite being this funky synth stuff, it’s all still super depressing. the lyrics are just like that. and as someone who has been deeply in her feels recently, this is exactly what i need. and on a similar note, -“Borderline” by Tame Impala same gist as Currents. except this song is more about the stoner stuff (which i am not) but it’s still a bop. i love the funk i love the synth i love the lyrics and the overall vibe. -“Here With Me” by d4vd i think i found this one off of some indie playlist Spotify made (yes i know it’s also a TikTok song). but i really like it. it’s the perfect song to belt out and be sad i don’t have a partner to. it’s just one of those songs that hits you in the feels. and, again, lots of feels are happening lately. and with this one, i’ve got this crush i can’t shake, and this song definitely does not help it. but i still love to sing it and be delusional.  lol so i posted this song on my Instagram note and my best friend replies “ooooh who is this about?” and i go “no one unfortunately i just like the song 😭” and her response is just “😭😭😭” -“(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones i play two The Rolling Stones songs and now my mom won’t stop calling me an ‘old soul’. but its among The Rolling Stones’ most popular songs, like?  but still, i like the older rock stuff like this. the guitar and the bass and the drums and the tambourine and the vocals are just peak.  granted i can’t really relate to the sexual frustration and commercialism, but do i really need to in order to like the song? -“All Star” by Smash Mouth slightly out of left field with this one, but as i said, my taste in music is all over the place.  we all know and love the alternative rock and power punk (yes i stole this right from Wikipedia) of the song. and this song ofc was part of my recent Smash Mouth binge… but outside of the memes, this song is a bop. everything just works. it’s great. i have no idea what the hell im saying cuz im shit at musical analysis but I LIKE THE SONG. DO I HAVE TO SAY WHY. WE ALL LIKE THE SONG SO WHY SHOULD I EXPLAIN WHEN THERES NO POINT ok rant over. lol i like music. i listen to a lot of it. and this all is kinda just to expose my music tastes because honestly, i have a pretty good taste in music if i do say so myself.

WELCOME TO THE BLOG MACHINE 2

hello!!!! it has been ~1 week (wtv). lots of things have happened. most around me know very well that i made a cover of 104 Degrees by Slaughter Beach, Dog, on saturday, the 3rd. it’s released to youtube, link here! (its all the way bottom most likely) it for sure came out of a spontaneous burst of creative energy, one that i haven’t really had time or effort to analyze how to replicate it again because in a sense i do feel unfamiliar with my own creativity. it happens, for sure, but why this time? i stickered my guitar, and felt more inclined to play it, that’s all that i know. on top of that, i made a “music video” for the first time ever. it’s recycled out of footage on my sony cybershot in like 600x300, mostly some i took at a park in march, that day was special to me. it was the day i had early release, with the aim of enjoying a day to myself, with full preparedness and itinerary for a specific town. i’d go to eat ramen, enjoying my own company, go to a record store, (then vintage store), visit parks, and then go home. and it was really wonderful! i had so much time left over and, throughout my walk in the park i recorded footage for just ”something.”. it revealed its title later on during my creative burst. to be really transparent, my first thoughts for the music video was to make a slideshow of a certain thing i did at my job a lot. for the first year at my job, everytime i got water from the fountain i forced myself to take a picture of the water fountain. I dont exactly know why i did this but there are many pictures of it, i thought at some point i’d might use a quick slideshow of them in ”something.” But quickly as i realized nature was probably a better look for the music i was covering i just switched . maybe one day you’ll see the water fountain :) i think i did great at the cover. it inspired me a lot, and did good wonders at feeling confident in what i am creating and being public with it to other people; i made my instagram public because i began to stop caring. now many more people even people i dont follow or an followed by can read this blog! wow! on another topic i have met someone Very changing. it is hard to disclose every feelign and emotion i have but i “re-met” them last monday and since then we have been on an incredible bond and have talke alot…. we share similar quirks and interests and just general specific thought exercises that we put ourselves through. i’ve been understood before, but sometimes certain people can get to you more than others; not to their discredit though because novelty is very importnat and this person has it!!! they are incredbblyy talented at art and just have a very creative mind in general (no glaze :p). with this new meeting, i feel like i‘m having a social life again. i’m learning to be okay with myself still, and this might feel soon, but i feel it’s for the best because i feel that i have progressed with feeling things the right way by myself. if i continue this path of self-tolerance or self-acceptance (not yet self-love, again that’s okay.), while also not being completely alone, i feel i will have a great outcome. balancing these two drives could lead to some true growth and i’m appreciative of this person coming into my life!!!! they are also very accepting of shortcomings i still have or have had in the past. it’s weird when someone new just accepts you as is because.. they don’t know who you were and weren’t there before. we’re also going to the same school which is crazy to think about!!! too much yap tbh let’s get to the music at my last record store trip, i picked out 3 records dear to my heart; expensive but small: LPs: Heaven or Las Vegas - Cocteau Twins Ants from Up There - Black Country, New Road CD: Young Americans - David Bowie (JPCD) i really was stuck this time. there were three BC,NR albums to pick from and i think i made the right choice of AFUT because of how long it is. for Forever Howlong, there is a blue and red version that i really dunno what i prefer yet; FTFT is a small record that i can get at a later date. Finding Heaven or Las Vegas was genuinely such a score on my end. normally my record store keeps stuff in shelves and crates but that day i decided to look under the top shelves and crates and at the records only shown by their bindings. then i found it!!! i dropped FTFT and committed to it. finding the David Bowie CD was really nice; i got complimented for it by the owner bc the JP label adds a lot of character; also there’s a cover of Across the Universe on it. severely enjoy all my finds. here’s what i’m listening to currently (by album): Sports - Modern Baseball Welcome - Slaughter Beach, Dog Gem of the West - SENTRIES (my voice is on this record, still great nonetheless) i hope if you’re reading this, you find peace within; in moments of anytime. feeling yourself let go even for a couple of minutes is an amazing feeling that, we really do forget a lot. but i hope you find those moments more, because i am the more that time passes. until next week!

the broader your scope, the more full your life is

I think this can be applied to a lot of different areas of life, but for the purpose of this post I’m focusing on music specifically. I love music. It may be my most favorite thing in life. Everyone has a different relationship with music and we all interact with our favorite songs differently. Some people play a song 100 times in a row. Some listen once and move to the next. Some have 156 favorite artists and some have 4. My personal favorite thing about music is that there’s so much of it to like. And just like how each person has many complexities, so can the things we enjoy. I love Scott Walker, I love Gracie Abrams, I love the Sundays, Clairo, Gaga…it doesn’t matter. Like the things you like because it speaks to your soul.

letting grief stay awhile/feeling your feelings

my dad died when i was young. today is his birthday, he would’ve been 64. this day usually passes as normal, but this year i’m feeling particularly sad, and i am trying to feel those feelings fully instead of numbing them

i need to carry my whole life with me in my bag

my everyday bag is a large baggu crescent bag, and it is the love of my life. i have a variety of pins on display that say, “help the police-beat yourself up!”, “mean lesbian”, and “the moral panic is about ME!!!” i keep my wallet and coin-purse in the one little inside-pocket, along with lip balm/gloss, airpods AND wired earbuds, pencils/pens, lighters, my trusty bus pass, and an unlimited use kiss coupon from my partner. in the main part of the bag i have a smaller bag full of stimming toys and communication cards (and gum and more lip gloss). i also have a taser, one reusable bag (just in case!), my journal (i’ve been trying to keep a commonplace book), my kobo libra color, my vape, a few joints in a cute kitten cigarette case, and a pack of american spirits (the teal ones are superior). not pictured: owala water bottle and any given crochet project
