very poppy this week- needed some serotonin that only revisiting my high school ariana obsession could get (the song successful off sweetener is so damn good). i’ve also been listening to my laurel canyon mix on spotify on the way to work in the morning and it sets such a good tone for my day. touchdown jesus is my friend owen’s band and you should check them out!
ok i have revisited it since then but it’s been a while and when tristesse/joie came on in the natural wine bar the other night i suddenly regained my will to live and man this whole record fucking rips. i found it originally when MTV was featuring ‘je veux te voir’ nearly constantly in 2009. les femmes is also a really good song
A lovely person from the Music League (who has yet to be revealed) submitted a song from this album which got me back on a kick.
I also have been listening to a lot of BRAT this week because i’ve been sick one way or another for about a month and when I am sick, I get depressive and I really needed something to bring my energy up.
Very fantastic and delicious pop album. I revisit it every couple of years when inevitably one of the many bops gets stuck in my head and I’m never disappointed. it’s always a fun time. Mind you- Ariana was 19 when the album was released
on my old car i used to have a bumper sticker that said “i hope you have a good day” on it. one day i came out of the grocery store and someone had left a note on my car on a sheet of paper from their notebook that said “i hope YOU have a good day!” i think about the person that went out of their way to leave that note a lot and hope that they know how sweet that was. i kept the note and put it in my junk journal/scrapbook and when i’m having a bad day i like to look at it.
