#2k16 albums

[258punkweight]

i think it's cool how on school shooter's album ss 2k16, the last song is "loser's requiem" which is entirely instrumental except for a 3 second sample at the end that says "i'm sorry it all has to end like this." i think it's beautiful

[junearmstrongs]

hello cutest pies !! i’m bird, back at it again in and so stoked to be bringing you june armstrong! she’s the lead guitar/backing vocals for gone girls and my teeny-tiniest, sunshine-iest babe. rages about a... few things, laughs about a trillion more. baby burnout with a heart of gold ♡ (a fuckin’ lot) more under the cut!

just a pastor’s daughter from dingle bells, oregon. technically a double pastor’s daughter, since both of her adoptive parents are pastors at a church in the next town over. it’s the largest church on the oregon coast and the bane of june’s existence. it’s all fire and brimstone under a thin layer of smiling proverbs and potluck luncheons, as so many churches are. june coming out as bisexual at thirteen turned out to be a very polarizing subject for the church, and june left immediately after.

the only part of church that june ever liked was hanging out at her grandparents’ house afterwards. their entire family – aunts, uncles, cousins, and all – gathered at their estate every week and enjoyed an unrivaled sense of community built by june’s grandmother. even outside of their family home evenings, grandma madeleine had a soft spot for june and her two sisters, and would take them to every zoo, museum, opera, and theatre within driving distance, making sure they experienced all the culture that their parents had no interest in showing them.

in 2015, when june was seventeen, her world was absolutely wrecked by the passing of her grandmother. by then, june was well into blossoming into a little punk who regularly skipped gym to play guitar in the orchestra practice rooms and semi-regularly skipped entire schooldays to join beach cleanups after big storms and go to concerts in portland. after losing her grandmother, june doubled down on rebelling against her parents. the summer before she left for college, she lived on a couch in a friend’s garage so she wouldn’t have to live with her parents.

june has worked at trio cinema since she was sixteen years old and trying to convince her Very Serious Parents that she was a serious person with drive and initiative (thus deserving of more freedom). this has given her the unique opportunity to have viewed the 1980s classic ferris bueller’s day off a record 297 times. this number is constantly growing. her Very Serious Parents are not convinced that she is a serious person.

nowadays, she lives in an apartment with three girls she met in an introductory psychology course during her single year of college. the other girls have all dated each other but it’s mostly chill vibes in front of june. they make up for any tension by being what some would call overly-affectionate with her. when she first moved in with the second-most important girl group of her life, the affection was pretty scaled back, but now they’re all a little too comfortable with each other.

in an attempt to teach her some discipline, june’s parents started her in violin lessons around the fifth grade. she dutifully learned how to read music, but abandoned her violin lessons less than two years later. after that, she spent a couple of years slowly teaching herself guitar until she discovered rush at fifteen. then every single day after that was spent strumming on her first guitar (a gift from her grandmother) until she got good enough to play her favorite rush album start to finish. her foray into making her own music started out clumsily, but that all changed with gone girls. besides the time june broke her leg doing a jump off of one of her amps, there’s nothing clumsy about how hard gone girls goes off.

despite some internal skepticism, june is an enthusiastic fan of the zodiac, tarot readings, psychics, and anything relating to witchcraft. she’s cleansed every apartment she’s ever had with home grown sage and owns several different crystals for healing, joy, love, strength, etc. her love of the occult started with her aunt when she was young, primarily from watching hocus pocus and buffy the vampire slayer over and over. they also read stephen king stories and made homemade bath bombs together, which always felt particularly witchy.

her crowning achievements include: being voted “most likely to be late” by her graduating class, hotboxing a showing of encino man and calling it the ‘stoned age smokeathon 2k16’, and being blocked by director richard kelly on twitter for harassing him about donnie darko theories, questions, and straight up crazy rants.

when she’s not chowing down at rosie’s or finding inner peace at the town’s most graffitied half pipe, june keeps up to date with as many oscar hopefuls and arthouse newcomers as she can, and spends a considerable amount of late nights on her laptop, watching old classics that make her nostalgic for a time she didn’t exist in. her trivia trophies are some of her proudest possessions and her banishment from as many trivia nights some of her proudest memories.

if you’re down, check out june’s about page here and her pinterest board here! i’ve also got a connections page here that’s only halfway shitty. i’m ready af for plots and you can hit me up on discord or tumblr ♡

[thatwasthenightthingschanged]

okay okay time for song prediction times based off of the titles!

1. "the 1"

probably a love song about Joe, also she put it as track 1 as well, ugh her mind! and also idk it's not my place to speculate abt her personal life but I think it might be about an engagement or anything? we shall see

2. "cardigan"

sounds very soft to me, maybe also a love song abt how spending time with your loved one feels comfortable and like home etc

3. "the last great American dynasty"

politically themed def! maybe abt how she didn't really think abt politics while Obama was president & hiw that has now changed

4. "exile"

sounds like a song about Corona but then again you go to exile to flee from something so it could also be a very emotional song??

5. "my tears ricochet"

maybe abt how ppl didn't care that she was hurting or how bad she was hurting during 2k16 bc of the whole cancelling culture thing, also it's track 5 so I'm just preparing for a sad song

6. "mirrorball"

google tells me a mirrorball is a disco ball? so perhaps a fun upbeat song

7. "seven"

again with the numbers and the track number!! in the video visualizer on Spotify there's a video of her as a kid so maybe it's retrospective & thinking abt her childhood

8. "august"

now this to me feels like it's gonna be a soft romantic song (OK MAYBE I JUST WANT IT TO BE ONE BUT I DON'T CARE) either abt past August (last album drop?) or (more likely) this August (again I don't wanna speculate abt her personal life but she used the number 20 on lover so much that I keep thinking sth with Joe is gonna happen this year so idk)

9. "this is me trying"

maybe abt mental health struggles during the self-isolation time

10. "illicit affairs"

this sounds like another politically themed song to me

11. "invisible string"

another love song maybe, sth along the lines of "we're attached to each other by an invisible string" you know

12. "mad woman"

DEFINITELY political, thinking like the man 2.0

13. "epiphany"

the definition of it is "a moment of sudden and great revelation or realization" so maybe when she realized that she doesn't care about the world anymore or at least not in the way she used to? idk. it's track 13 tho I don't trust it

14. "betty"

this song is a whole "????" to me so I'm not gonna guess here

15. "peace"

maybe abt the blm protests?

16. "hoax"

verrry likely abt Tr*mp because he has used the word "hoax" A LOT so perhaps abt the whole corona situation & how he's doing nothing

17. "the lakes"

idk why but my mind went to a peaceful storytelling like song abt an afternoon at a lake THIS WILL PROBABLY NOT BE ABOUT IT BUT I CAN DREAM

SF9 aka Sensational Feeling 9

 @lee-dongmins said they wanted to get to know sf9 so i guess here’s a basic guide to these sweet dumb boys whom i love

ok so sf9 is a 9 member boy group formed by FNC Entertainment (f.t.island, n’flying, cnblue, aoa) at the end of 2k16 on a survival show called Dance or Band, where they went up against another group of fnc trainees that were in a band (who would later debut under fnc as Honeyst).

On the show they were known as Neoz Dance and they have whole bunch of dope af covers on the neoz youtube channel.  They won the survival show by performing a song they wrote and choreographed called K.O. and it would later be included on their debut single album.  

Before debut the members all acted in a web series called Click Your Heart, with 4 of the boys playing main characters (Dawon, Rowoon, Zuho, and Chani) and the others playing minor characters.  It’s pretty small, just 7 episodes that are at most like 15 minutes and it’s a kind of choose your own ending because you can choose who the main girl winds up with out of the 4 main boys.

October 2016 they debuted with Fanfare (a solid bop but pretty average in the grand scheme of the music scene at the time but the dancing is hella good see above gif) and in December they put out a special mv for their song So Beautiful they made for Click Your Heart (it’s genuinely so sweet and filled with holiday cheer and absolutely zero rudeness, something that only it out of all the sf9 mvs can boast).

February 2017 they had their first comeback with Roar (a delightfully saturated mv that we soon learned was the staple of an sf9 mv and with the catchy whisper line of bureureung aka roar/rev the engine that nearly everyone mistakes as something like ‘put it in’ the first time they hear it).

April 2017 we were graced with their second comeback of Easy Love (truthfully this was the first mv of theirs i ever saw and i was hooked).  It was the last of their mini albums to have the whole ‘sensation’ motif in the title.

October 2017 was their third comeback with O Sole Mio (they went to california to film at least parts of the mv and wow is it fucking gorgeous and the chorus has like 4 different languages in it so wow talented boys).

February of 2018 was their fourth comeback with Mama Mia! (aka pls stop putting dreadlocks on these poor kids and pls let them be playful more often in things also what a freakin happy bop).

August 2018 was their fifth comeback with Now or Never.  It has the classic saturation of a sf9 mv and a smooth sound that makes it perfect for easy listening or hype music.  It can sound like the world Jealous is repeated throughout the song but it’s actually Jilleosseo which is the title of the song in korean. (I believe this also the first mv with all members being 18 internationally and they’ve definitely got a more mature visual thing going on.)

They’ve released Japanese versions of all their title tracks with accompaning mvs and some of their B-sides.

With every promotion cycle they also release a self cam of one of their B-sides that is pretty much just the boys being dorks lipsyncing the song and playing around with each other and it’s a beautiful little treat that fills Fantasy (aka fandom name) with warmth.  I do believe these are all of them:

They are super fucking funny and here’s a ‘guide’ to them that has some classic clips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEIeNG4qUXE

And this is them on the Immigration and it’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen an idol group be on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8JkUfMRGC4

Members:

Youngbin: ‘93 Leader, Rapper, basically a dad in that he tells those jokes and is a source of comfort and stability for the members and always has some kind and wise words to give them, would really love it the members would stop shying away from skinship (Chani it’s always Chani), a flirt?(warning alot of them are flirts).

Inseong: ‘93 Vocalist, Oldest, a complete dweeb and we love him for it, speaks pretty good english because he studied in England for a year and is a smooth operator, was an SM trainee, calls himself a desert fox and is pretty smart, did some acting in a drama, part of what i’m gonna call the flirt line.

Jaeyoon: ‘94 Vocalist, OST veteran, dimples, thinks his butt is great and like he’s not wrong, is in charge of having the Honey Voice and can sing any song in a sweet way, knows poisonous plants and animals, wow look at that one whole flirt.

Dawon: ‘95 Vocalist, Sub-rapper after Mama Mia!, the 4D personality, was on masked idol on weekly idol for awhile and when sf9 went on weekly idol he nearly gave himself away cause he can’t stop being hilarious, a regular member of SBS’ Game Show, flirt line.

Zuho: ‘96 Rapper, does alot of writing and composing for their songs sometimes with Youngbin and Hwiyoung, trained for 8 years before debut, is the classic looks tough but is a cinnamon roll who loves cuddling, the members say he’s most charismatic of them all, is friends with suga (he’s my bias and i have to stop myself from gushing about how sweet and talented he is).

Rowoon: ‘96 Vocalist, Visual, is basically the face of the group and is on shows like Lipstick Prince and does acting in some dramas, likes making sure the other members are cared for, really likes giving affection to Chani (who is never too delighted by this) and Zuho (who is super delighted by this), a pretty flirt.

Taeyang: ‘97 Vocalist, Visual, DANCER like hot fucking damn is this boy a dancer, he and Rowoon are most often the center of dances and it’s fucking because he is an amazing dancer and works so super hard at being good, he is also literal sunshine.

Hwiyoung: ‘99 Rapper, Sub-vocalist, somehow ends up the brunt of poor luck, studies hard, very emotional and openly admits to crying at Train to Busan even though no one asked him, called the Happy Virus, can wiggle his ears, does kick boxing and will kick you in the butt if you ask.

Chani: ‘00 Rapper, Vocalist, Maknae, child actor, used to be Fantagio trainee, childhood friends with Moonbin and Chanwoo from iKon, actor now and wow the kid’s got some heckin movies under his belt, would really like for people to think that he’s cool pls.

Gang Starr's The Ownerz Album Anniversary

Gang Starr released ‘The Ownerz’ album in 2003, but the reunion proved short-lived, leaving back-catalog collections such as Mass Appeal: The Best of Gang Starr (2006) to fill the void. The track "Same Team, No Games" is featured in DJ Premier's playlist for the 2015 video game NBA 2K16. The Track "The Squeeze" is previously featured on the Training Day Soundtrack. Sadly, the album was the last to be released during Guru’s lifetime. Read more about Gang Starr here.
