I watched this for the first time at the most perfect age to absorb it forever. One of the most formative experiences of my life. Thereās no pretense - never is with Mitski - but here her spirit is on full display. The most compelling performance is Class of 2013, wherein she screams into her guitar during the third verse, āMom will you wash my back this once, and then we can forget.ā Iāve replayed that part probably 30 times.

I could go on foreverā¦but there is truly nobody like her!! Iāve been a fan of hers since I discovered Be the Cowboy! She puts so much thought and care into everything, from lyrics to composition to performance. Every album has the āMitskiā vibe, but is also able to encapsulate a whole different atmosphere between each! Sheās able to encapsulate the most indescribable feelings in such a poetic way and deserves all the recognition in the world! Sheās just so so so talented. Saw her the other night and was just in awe :ā)
Defo put on some headphones, close your eyes and just listen <3

I sneaked in with my friend who worked at the venue. got front row of the balcony. it was magical. Her stripped back and subtly choreographed performance was so inspiring. A close second was seeing her with the full band in May. seeing them both was perfection as I could compare the differences in scale and really feel how much staging and arrangement can affect the atmosphere of a show. Theyāre performances that will stay with me forever.

Started this research project after reading about Georgina Weldon. Sheās notorious for having a litigation addiction but Iām obsessed with the time Gounod asked for his sheet music back after their divorce and she sent it with her name written across every page. When he attempted to have her committed, she escaped and tried to press charges against him, even though married women couldn't initiate civil suits. When that failed, she shared her story with the papers to get him to sue her for libel. After the Married Woman's Property Act passed, she was simultaneously involved in seventeen legal cases. Highly recommend researching Kiki De Montparnasse, Dora Maar, Jeanne Duval, Camille Claudel, Aicha Goblet and Lizzie Siddal.

I forget how exhilarating it feels when a new release instantly becomes an all-time favorite. It's something I secretly hope for with every first listen. This album hits like a hot bath and captures the essence of a throbbing bodiless anatomical heart with wings.

Without spoiling the plot, he ingeniously repeats the same idea in various exasperated ways. Tautology is my favorite comedic device, and Brooks is the best at it.
