Rec'd on 💿 what was the first piece of music that you owned?
ELLIE GOULDING - HALCYON DAYS
8 year old me wanted her haircut so badly. I secretly do still think some of these songs are bops but the album was very much of its time, as a 2013 relic that sits under my bed in a crate, amongst Beyoncé and Britney Spears.

collecting cds is for cool kids
i recently bought Lordes ‘Pure Heroine’ on cd and forgot how much i love the album. i was driving and watching the sky and pretending it was 2015 again, i had tumblr, wattpad, damaging my eyes by reading from a blue screen far too late while under blankets. i was reminded of being sad in a different way at a different age.

That era of 2010s indie pop/r&b that transports you to an h&m fitting room
BANKS, AlunaGeorge, Wet, MS MR, Jessie Ware, CHVRCHES, Sylvan Esso indie not in the sleazy way but in the saccharine main stage festival way. times were simpler and maybe it’s just because I didn’t have to worry about bills and shit when I was like 15 listening to this

RETURNING TO THE MUSIC YOU LIKED IN HIGH SCHOOL WITH NEW EYES
Specifically during the summer, putting on Melophobia or Pure Heroine or Blonde when I’m driving home from work makes me feel like I’m ruffling the hair of my fourteen year old self and saying “You’re gonna be alright, kid.”

USING TEXT AS THE ONLY FORM OF COMMUNICATION WITH A LOVE INTEREST
No I don’t want your socials. I don’t want to know when you’re active and not replying, I don’t want to know when you’re posting stories or who you’re following. I don’t wanna know. Tell me in person, when we go on a date. I want you at complete face value with zero pre conceptions.
