I don’t think pop music has historically ever had a moment like her ā€œGirl, So Confusingā€ remix verse. It’s not a joke. It’s a triumph for literature. Everyone remembers where they were the first time they heard it. This was a serious revolution and took us out of her usual fever dreaminess of controlled poetic syntax (which I love) , to just unmasked, raw, chaotic feminine brutality and I don’t think we appreciate the prose switch-up enough. I also have said ā€œlet’s work it out on the remix?ā€ to many people I’ve fought with since the song dropped. Sometimes I even write a verse mimicking the song taking accountability of what I’ve done and I send it to who I’m in a conflict with, it actually helps! I’m obsessed with the new singles off her upcoming album Virgin and I’m already studying the cadence of epigrams like ā€˜MDMA in the back garden’,. I’m someone who struggles with severe summer depression, which is taboo in the world of seasonal sadists but taking my discman for a walk by the ocean as ā€œThe Pathā€ starts up on my (files purchased on ITunes!) burnt CD-R copy of ā€˜Solar Power’ is nature’s SSRI. Suck on that, Saint John’s Wort.

it’s crazy to think she’s been around 15 years and this is one of the best songs she’s ever put out. It’s silly it’s outrageous the lyrics read like a tumblr post and she’s just out here trying to be that girl. It’s been stuck in my head since I heard it. following up a poetry book which I’m sure not a lot of people read with this unhinged masterpiece is the energy I want to see in the world.

Everything is romantic feels so midwest hot girl and I love the vibe BUT Girl, so confusing hints at a collab with the LORDE while hitting with some personal lyrics like yes I do feel confused if people like me.

The reason I got a region free DVD player in my mid 20s was because I wanted to own a European copy of the Leonardo Dicaprio Gen X deep-cut/full of lore movie Don’s Plum. If you can sometimes save the money, you spend on vaping, events, weed, alcohol, drugs or whatever to buy rare out of print DVDs (even bootlegs sometimes) that are locked to Japan, Australia, UK, whatever isn’t North American. Do it, you’ll never regret it. The delayed gratification of waiting weeks for a DVD that is available to stream right now on some scary illegal link that has 300 pop ups to come in the mail may not make sense to a lot of people but I really appreciate the movie more, and having the association of the whole experience of having to track it down vs just getting it right now makes it so fun. I own a lot of rare TV series box sets from the 90s/2000s that never got released in North America, and are impossible to find online. Join me, you can live this lifestyle too!

My red string protects me from the ā€˜evil eye’. It’s the most important spiritual system to ever exist because all modern occultism is derived from Kabbalistic thought. . The difference between a lot of magick/modern spirituality/new age thought and Kabbalah is that it’s all about taking accountability, and responsibility. If we have a dream, it has to be service driven or for the sake of sharing. We as Kabbalists believe that we create any type of chaos that comes into our lives, and if we take the conscious effort to correct our negative qualities, the universe and the material world can mirror this beautiful alchemy and keep us connected to a transcendent state of divinity,Ā  I like to call ā€˜the light.’

Disclaimer: I’m definitely a gatekeeper and my friends can tell you that I tell them that they are NEVER allowed to list anything I show them on Letterboxd or post to socials, or they are banned from movie nights in my building’s theatre.Ā  When I was 15, Sky Ferreira introduced me to the ā€œextreme teenā€ indie film genre that shaped my artistic instincts. Blame her for everything. I learned about Bully, Kids, Nowhere, Christiane F, Tart, Freeway all from her! I have a constant craving to find movies that exist in a similar world, and during my book research I found Rollercoaster. Ā  I immediately tracked down the director out of hiding to do a screening of it at the local indie cinema here in Vancouver. Watch it now.
