Does self-awareness lead to success? There's something unique about an artist or band naming an album after themselves. As it reflects the purest expression of their sound and vision, embodying who they truly are. Here are a few of my favorites:
- The Smiths (1984)
- Santigold (2008)
-Crystal Castles (2008)
- The White Stripes (1999)
- Le Tigre (1999)
-Elliot Smith (1995)

The horror of listening to a song for a second time with others

🫂
witnessing long distance lovers share a kiss at the table beside you
old college roommates running into each other on the side of the road
the town local catching up with the barista who just took your order
every 'stranger' to you is a lover, a friend, an acquaintance, and an enemy to another 'stranger' to you
there is beauty to it all
