EDC's new album is good, but it's admittedly making me listen to her older stuff more...the other night I went to the opening of a new bar called Ripple Room off Bowery and I ended up talking to some bartender on the way to another bar about Barbra Streisand. He drunkenly reminded me of that incredulous "Duck Sauce" song, and now I cannot manage to get it out of my head. I get it, though, I could also write a song about Babs.

i feel so mature. her lyric "i am a fountain of blood, in the shape of a girl" wont leave my mind, god, its stuck in my ears like wax. and while making dinner tonight, i started to cry as i listened to 'it's oh so quiet' because it felt like a love letter to music itself, but also to the experience of falling in love, which we so childishly continue to do, in spite of it all. it was just so beautiful. i felt overwhelmed with the outpouring of love from it. it feels very much like an homage to sinatra and the crescendos that are sewn into songs from that era, of croons and blue moons. i adore that. and don't get me started on big time sensuality...

Spotify recently reminded me how into this I was in like 2009 so I’ve been doing a deep dive on all his stuff and loving it. I remember back in the day I always felt so cool when Kimya Dawson said Paul Baribeau took her to the giant tire swing because I knew who he was lmao (I was like 14)

When I was in the psych ward there was this boring ass white doctor who would always complain about how much he hated Erykah Badu when I would request to play her. He said he didn’t like her when he found out her hair was fake and I hope he knows that his balding ass could probably benefit from some “fake” hair. I was a pretty casual Erykah Badu fan before I met him but since then I’ve made it my life mission to love her more and more everyday.

I watched this yesterday afternoon because it was raining out and I didn't feel like leaving my house all day when I had plans that night. I genuinely think it has become the straw that broke the camel's back bearing the weight of my relationship with my family. I called my father, my mother, and talked to my grandmother. The last grandparent I have left, the one I have the most questions for. I even proposed planning a trip for the reunion held yearly in our family village. It made me more grateful to be living here in New York at this stage of my life, looking around at what I've managed to build of my own, but remembering to not forget what came before, what allowed me to be who I am now. They're all responsible for that in some way, no? Barbra Streisand could insult me, and I would thank her, but I especially want to thank her for directing such a wonderful film. You should all watch it someday.
