So many people I have known over my lifetime have no pets at all, because a majority of their family is allergic to them. This is for sure a biased statement, but I swear to god it’s been the norm.

Idk what the song is called, but that song that says “Don’t Listen to a Word I Say.” Still going to get crucified but call this “quirky white people music.” I also do not know…wait I do know the name of this one. Safe and Sound, awful song. I don’t think either are my least favorite but both were just awful to live through. I am glad they’re gone.

Which is funny, because I later heard that one of the Safe & Sound folks is one of the guys from PNAU and I like them. I just find those two songs to be droning for different reasons. One is mindless and campy, and the other is mindless and falsely whimsical. Which I guess sounds like campy, but I feel like they sit in adjacent er…camps.

I still to this day have not listened to Aerosmith, so I’ve got nothing to say on them. I have two friends that both like/love U2 however. One took me to a show, and it was good but I don’t think I would see it myself. I really do like Sunday Bloody Sunday, although I for sure listen to the Saul Williams version more often than the original. I think the original has more emotional standing however, as it’s more poignant as Bono is Irish.

It’s beautiful, yet basic. I wasn’t sure if I should have been offended or not once an ex said I reminded them of this song. Felt strange.

I’m a crack head for this song. Some times I will just be sitting around and start mouthing the beat. Can’t feel it.

I have learned to love this song over time as it is sort of synonymous with a time period and music style world-wide and that’s not so bad.

Not even gunna lie, I hate Hozier. I call it “spiritual white people music.” I am going to get hosed for this, but that one band that sang that song Lonely Boy or whatever is also part of that mix to me.

In defense of her music, if this is All I Want for Christmas I loved the cover of it in Love Actually. I think the gal who sings it is the one who voices Marceline? Also, if you’ve ever done kitchen work in a place that forces Christmas music people actually get quite happy and come together. So…there’s that.

I personally will always be addicted to Always By My Baby. Which is an insanely fun song to sing, because of the modulation. Going high to low, it’s a fun challenge and feels great requires a bit of control. But that’s just me.

I also think she might be the best selling female pop-artist globally. But I am not sure. This is all just stuff off the top of my head.

Lastly, and this is on her acting and not her as a human being - I absolutely fucking loved her in Precious. Especially as she has this one like that’s something akin to “What do you think I am” when Precious asks her what ethnicity she is. As someone who’s mixed, it’s like candy for my brain. It’s a good play.

Sang through this whole post, so it might be messier than it already was coming through on someone’s opinion.

Man, the struggle is real! I often wonder is this just like…a E Asian thing or what? Cause SE Asians can chill with tigers and not have allergic reactions.

Oh yeah, no I hear you. It took me quite some time to get behind metal-y music. I didn’t grow up listening to it, and no one I knew did either. My partner loves the stuff, and our first show was hilariously a metal band that I mistook for a pop band. My gal is such a bubbly girly-girl about most things, I figured she was just about that kind of scene. Little did I know, when we showed up everyone was dressed up some kind of way. There were two mosh pits going at the same time. I got smashed in, and I am the size of a pin. I just kind of went with it, because what else do you do in these moments? I learned to like the music, because I recognized the passion in it. It’s not the first on the shelf I reach for, but I can get with it. Only part of this is the cap at the end, god it was some kind awful to me.

I love electronic music, and since so much of what you’ve put on here that I’ve heard is such I just assumed you might have some chill-out ambient like tunes in your back pocket. Something like this DIM album, which really puts my brain in such a soft and calm space. There’s times when I like energetic tunes, but I really love a good chillout tune and they’re a rarer breed I think.

Kind of like humans, as it’s hard to find people who are calm spirits. But when you do, hot damn, they’re like a living chill pill. Didn’t know a damn thing about Swu, but I’ll be giving it a listen now. Thank you! I actually don’t listen to Lorn like that but I think I should more since you recommend him. I think Acid Rain (was that the name?) has one of the best music videos I have ever seen. I love the idea of this gal waking up post-crash and being absolutely stupefied. The music captures this beautiful crunchy mystique and pain so perfectly. I used to listen to Arca quite a bit, pre-transition (I like her post-transition music, but I don’t listen to it like that just cause I don’t listen to music as much as I used to as a whole). Her pre-transition tunes are so full of this empty pain, which I mean - look at the situation. I think both make great horror movie tunes!

Speaking of vaporwave, I think this gloomy miss is part of the pack. Not entirely sure, as it’s been a min since I’ve studied music, but I really love this jam. It’s good for a solid skulk.

On D-BLK012, that Terranigma jam is so juicy! I love that fat-bassline, that chunky one. It’s why I ended up falling in love with this jam a buddy tossed me years ago. It’s a joke of mine that has to be the brown note, because it’s about as low as any bass I know and it’s chunky af.

I gotta run, but thank you so much for the jams and keep posting them I’ll give em a listen!
