Pretty Liar | LN4 (Patreon exclusive)
― Pairing: Lando Norris x fem!reader ― Word count: 5.6k ― Warnings: mentions of food and alcohol; +18! graphic description of sex (p in v, oral - both, fem and male receiving). ― Summary: Ever since Lando was a kid he knew his future would bring fame somehow, always involved with racing and having just what it needed to become a Formula 1 driver, he was happy with everything it entailed, up until said future became his present and he realized there was also a rough side to the fame. That’s why, when he found you – someone who had no idea who he was, he kept his career from you. He would tell you, and he would eventually clarify the situation, he had it all planned, however, all it took was one week. One week for you to discover that what you thought started as a beautiful story, was actually a perfectly told lie. Lando was pretty, but he was also a liar. Now he had to find a way to explain everything, and you had to find it in you to forgive him.

Some scientists believe that it takes around ten minutes for an average person to make an everyday decision. Yet, the moment Yn’s eyes met Lando’s, and he smiled at her, she knew they would go home together that night, and this exchange took less than a second. 
His face seemed familiar, but she couldn’t remember where. She thought maybe it was from an old Instagram post their friends in common had made. Maybe they saw each other in a pub before. The city wasn’t that big, their crowds were similar, and they were both young.
Lando seemed surprised with the news, “You don’t…know me?” 
“Should I?” Yn asks, quirking her eyebrows with a glimmer of humor in her stare. 
He shook his head before Oliver, their common friend, could say something, “Nah, it’s just…I’m a DJ, I thought maybe you had seen something about me around a party you know?!” 
Yn bit her lower lip, chuckling. “I’m sorry, I’m sure you must be a great DJ, but I’ve never heard of a Lando Norris before.” 
“Now I’m hurt,” the Brit turned to their friend, and Oliver’s laugh boomed around. 
That was how their first interaction went, with both aware of the tension line being pulled. Lando had never seen someone match his energy like she did, and Yn had never felt that giddy with a guy before. When someone grabbed Oliver away, the speakers gave space to a remixed tune of  Zedd and Yn asked what Lando was playing that night, or if he was playing at all. 
He smiled at her showing the small gap between his teeth which she decided was one of her favorite features of his, after his eyes, “It depends. What do you want me to play?”
“Oooh, smooth, I like it!” she giggled, taking a sip of her drink, and using the seconds to breathe in some air. “Would you mind playing Rihanna?” 
“Most recent ones or oldies?” 
“Around 2010s would be perfect.”
“I know exactly the song,” he announced like a promise, and Yn nodded, grabbing his hand, lacing their fingers, and starting to head in the direction of the bar. It would be an hour or so until the pub’s DJ finished his thing. 
“Do you wanna drink something?” Yn stopped to say in his ears now that the song seemed much louder and so did the crowd. Lando’s free hand grabbed her waist, and he shouted back that he had just grabbed his refill, but he was fine going with her. 
Truth was, Lando didn’t even like the bar area that much, drunk people would tend to gather there sometimes, spill their alcohol, scream, and try creating scenes, but something about Yn’s eyes would make him follow her to hell, and they had just met. That felt a tad scary, but he wouldn’t think too much about it, trying to focus his mind on Danny’s words about enjoying the butterflies, enjoying the naivety, and enjoying the nerves that came with it. 
**********************
“I still gotta learn how to bake properly.”
“We could try together. I know a thing or two about sugary recipes,” she suggested. “Meanwhile, you cook the main dish and I make the dessert—” she stopped mid-sentence, putting the palm of her hand on her forehead. “We forgot about dessert, Lan!” 
But the pilot can only grin, watching in awe as her lips pout slightly.
“I didn’t.”
“What do you mean?” her tone started with a confused hint, but when their eyes met and Yn caught the way his gaze drifted  across her body like a caress bringing a shiver along. Her legs instinctively crossed in search of the slight tinge of pressure. 
“Oh, you know exactly what I mean,” his grin was wicked, and the way his head pointed to the space in front of him at the table almost made Yn whimper. Lando pushed the plate and glass to the side, watching as Yn got up and walked to him. The noises of the city came through the open windows, just like the cold wind, creating the perfect harmony with the way her bare steps hit the ground, the slight sound coming from it. 
The legs of Lando’s chair scraped on the ground when he pushed it just a tiny bit to make room for Yn. She sat on his lap, legs on either side of him, caging him in place, and giving him the feeling of her bare cunt against his dress pants. 
“Aren’t you wearing anything under the dress?” he asked, mocking shock on his expression. 
Yn merely shook her head, “It would just ruin it anyway.”
And just like that cooking conversations and random subjects were long forgotten, their lips smashed together in a heated kiss, and Yn moaned into his mouth when Lando gripped her waist and guided her movements on top of him, his cock hardening with each motion. 
*****************
“Come in my mouth,” she rasped, it sounded like a plea, and Lando couldn’t help but give it to her. At that moment he would give her anything and everything she asked for. The way her eyes blinked at him from between his legs, mascara a bit smudged on her cheeks, lips swollen from sucking, she looked like an angel. 
And he couldn’t deny an angel its request.
So when her mouth enveloped him again, cheeks hollowing and tongue twirling Lando gripped the table, hips buckling slightly and body finally succumbing to pleasure. He watched as his cum leaked from her mouth, his dick still spurting the white liquid and making it land on her chin and collarbone. 
Yn grinned up at him, licking her lips. 
He scooped cum from her chin using his finger and she eagerly opened her mouth, sucking his thumb and smiling up at him again. At that moment, he wanted them to be intimate enough, so he could grab a camera and save that image. Frame it. Store it under locks. Have it with him forever. Something about the way she looked and what they had just done stirred his insides again.
“Can I have mine now?” he scooped more cum this time from her collarbone and Yn nodded, parting her lips to him again.

"Hello, Jensa! Here we are. Mr. CBR said it was ok if we took some time. We had intended to remix the songs. It was an idiot who had barely even heard ROCK mixing just because they were rebuilding the studio. We came to the conclusion after a lot of fucking time that we would never be able to scrape enough [money] together for some luxurious sound.
We decided it was going to be our dull bass [player] Necrobutcher who will pay the postage this time. It was even more delayed because it's not the easiest thing to suck money out of the dude who hasn't spent a penny on letters for the whole last year. In any case, it was this remix that never happened that was the main reason for this funny delay. But what the hell, isn't it too late??? I'm sending the thing on the casette as well but I don't know how this will be sent, so maybe it will be sent separately.
The guitar is barely audible and the drums are too loud so it sounds too fucked up and not so brutal. That thing with Morbid- to include a song on the album is a damn good idea but we would need cash for something like that + it's in the last moment. - Pelle's letter to Jens Näsström, 1990 🦇
*Side note: when speaking about Necrobutcher, he wrote "våran bas matta". It has to be some kind of slang, I think, because matta is a carpet, but it also means "dull", so my translation is the best approximation as to what it could mean. I asked swedish person but they also weren't any smarter than me.
Note 2: First sentence, above the beginning of the letter is hard to read, but I think it says "Det hela började vid 3 års ålder" which would translate to "It all started at the age of 3". It doesn't make a lot of sense so I omitted it because it's confusing

Hi, i saw your requests open and i've been thinking what i should request but an idea came up to me.
What about singer reader x yandere fans? I think is a great idea.
Ah apart from that, what's ur favorite song?
Yandere!!Fans x Singer reader
Thank you so much for requesting and my favorite song is currently either the Daddy issues remix or Everything I wanted.
Yep I decided to redo this thing and I may make it a reverse harem
No one expected you to blow up you took the industry by storm your humble beginning and charming persona first got you a small fan base on TikTok then you only got more and more popular and here you are now sitting pretty on a talk show the bright lights blinding you as the host looks at you eagerly itching to start this interview.
Welcome back everyone today we have hit idol Y/n S/n here with us
The crowd roared when they heard your name thousands of people here just for you their beloved idol.
Host: So y/n what's it like to have such success so quick and young.
Y/n: it's pretty overwhelming that's for sure but I have my adoring and loyal fans supporting me.
You said and smiled at the audience and that sent them over the edge your fans were always quite insane lively but they meant well they got you your success in the first place who are you to complain but idol life was tough enough and you weren't exactly thrilled to see your Instagram filled with desperate fans begging for your attention everyday some even threatening to commit suicide if you didn't reply.
And the things they'd throw on stage when you performed were sometimes sweet like a teddy bear or roses and other times not so sweet the day you were preforming and got hit in the face with a dildo is a day you'll never forget...you still shudder st the memory.
And the amount of secret getaway houses you own are concerningly high since an extra persistent can always manges to follow you home no matter how many detours and lane switches you take.
No one said being famous was easy and all fans act like this right?
It's totally normal that they worship you like a God and it's totally normal to know jars of your sweat and used pads are being sold for millions on the dark and what celebrity doesn't have a dab try to kidnap them twice a week.
And you'd think you'd have your bodyguards preventing most of these things but unfortunately they're fans too and it's common to find your bodyguards being a little too close and going through your dirty laundry...
But unbelievably enough there were certain fans that stood out among the rest in the worst ways possible these fans will do anything and I mean anything for your acknowledgment oh you have an extra mean troll sending nasty comments no less then a day later they send an apology and they've mysteriously gone missing you signed an undeserving fans merch? they were immediately talked down and beaten up for it.
Completely normal fans ��️

Hello! Just wanted to say I stumbled across your Stolas project, specifically your take of Look My Way. I don't watch Vivzie's work for a variety of reasons, namely for the people she's hurt as well as feeling personally hurt by the way she treats SA as an SA victim. This is to say I have literally never heard the song before -
...And you make it sound gorgeous. I'm terrified to listen to the original, because that octave just sounds so right for the song. Your Stolas project just makes him sound right in general. You really helped sell it as the beautiful song and the beautiful sequence it was supposed to be. I was stunned. Well done!
It also made me think - in a vacuum, Look My Way is a shockingly romantic song? It portrays Stolas and Blitzo as this sort of forbidden gay yearning, more like an operatic romantic tragedy than the inconsistent, initially 'haha sexual abuse funny and also it's okay because stolas is good-hearted right? Also fuck women!' mess it actually is. If I wasn't aware of what their dynamic actually is, I would be wowed by the romanticism and nuance of it all. You really made me think!
So as thanks for your beautiful song remix and the thoughts on what could've been, here's one for you - listen to Spare Hearts by Exit Mouse. Good song all around, but how do you think it sounds for a 'If Blitzo and Stolas were written properly, with a relationship that's actually like how Look My Way makes them appear'?
Oh my lord, Anon, you have no idea how this makes my day! The Stolas Project is one of those little things that exists mostly for myself and even people who are critical of HH/HB tend not to get it, so anytime anyone likes it, I'm over the moon.
(I do think Stolas lost a lot of what made him an appealing character when he lost that deep, rich, velvet voice, and not just because I prefer it. I think he needed to be an older character, but failing that, to at least hold on to that power, that regal authority.)
Thank you again, and I gave Spare Hearts a listen. Definitely going on my playlist of songs that make me think of Instagram!Stolas/Blitz, a ship I miss constantly.

Initial opinions on the suggestions I was given for songs that feel like Twin Peaks & Laura Palmer (including some I was suggested on Instagram) Under a read more because it ended up being quite long
Les Revenants Soundtrack album - Mogwai  I did sort of skip through each track since this was an entire album suggested, but I agree it sounds like Twin Peaks. Like the town's grief after Laura's death. Will definitely be giving this album a proper listen later because I really like what I heard.
Otterley - Cocteau Twins I'm already a massive Cocteau Twins fan tbh. And I totally see the Twin Peaks vibes here! It's Agent Cooper having dreams about the case. It's owls flying at you in mysterious caves.
Midnight Cowboy - Faith no More This is so Cooper-core. And the brighter side of Twin Peaks in general. Love it.
Painless Steel - Bohren & der Club of Gore Oh I completely hear it tbh! It's giving traffic light in the wind at night. It's giving Twin Peaks soundtrack. The low hum sounds right out of Laura's theme, but then it also gets a bit jazzy like the rest of the soundtrack. Really like this one
On The Sea - Beach House I really enjoyed it. The lyrics definitely fit Laura's story.
A Warm Place- Nine Inch Nails Oh my god I love it. Gorgeous. AAAAAAAGHHH
La Mer - Nine Inch Nails Ngl I had no idea Nine Inch Nails made music like this and I'm really loving it??? It's so good!! And definitely get the Twin Peaks vibe with this, moving from beautiful to chaotic.
Ghosts I - 1 - Nine Inch Nails  Well I'm definitely going to start listening to Nine Inch Nails. And yeah, it absolutely gives a Laura & Black Lodge vibe to me. Like, all the darkness of Twin Peaks.
An Angel Held me Like a Child - Yeule Yeule can play at The Roadhouse like a modern Julee Cruise. It reminds me of Laura's happy ending getting her angel. Or when she's created by Dido in The Return.
Laura - Bat for Lashes I see the connection to Laura with the lyrics. I'm not sure it feels like her to me though. But maybe I'm wrong because two separate people suggested this one
Ptolemaea - Ethel Cain Very black lodge. This is what they're listening to in the room above the convenience store. Sounds like Laura's heartache. I also love it (although the outro is kind of long)
Laura Palmer’s theme - Xiu xiu Kind of cheating imo since it's a cover of a track off the soundtrack but I did like it. Nothing beats the original one though, Angelo Badalamenti is on another level and you can't improve on perfection.
Caroline - Concrete Blonde Makes me want to just get on my bike and go with this playing. Very 'giving a little lap dance in the Fat Trout trailer park' (I may have been influenced by the music video)
Redlights - Salem I'm already a huge Salem fan so I already know this track well and love it. Definitely get the Twin Peaks feeling from a lot of Salem's tracks, though I think Asia fits the vibe the most personally.
Better Off Alone - Salem Another track I already love. And I very much agree it has that feeling. It's Laura Palmer high out of her mind having a breakdown at James before running away. It's the darkness of the Lodge. It's dopplegangers and pain. Which is kind of funny when you remember what it's a remix of
Cocteau Twins Like I mentioned, I'm already a big Cocteau Twins fan and agree that most of their stuff feels very Twin Peaks! Or just Lynchian in general.
Fast moving cars - Carla Del Forno I totally get that Twin Peaks vibe from this one too. I'm running out of things to say lol. But yeah I like it and whoever suggested it is right.
Sarah Missing - Should This is so Bobby and Shelly. This is exactly what their romance sounds like and you can't convince me otherwise. I like it!
Rough Song - Beach House 30 seconds in and I love it, I love the bright sound Beach House have & will def be listening to more of them. The lyrics here are very fitting of Laura's story and the song itself sounds like Twin Peaks as a whole and very Laura.
Shadow - Chromatics I mean it's literally a song on the show. I would argue it's the song of The Return, much like Falling the song of the original show. Of course it sounds like Twin Peaks, it is Twin Peaks The Return!! And it's great
You Wish You Were Red - Trailer Trash Tracy I could see them playing at The Roadhouse! I feel like I've heard this song before but idk if I have. Feels like Cooper's journey?
I'm so glad for all these suggestions, I def have some new music I'm gonna listen to more!!
Also I know my writing is cringe as hell but you know what they say, I am cringe but I am free ;) I wasn't expecting to write as much as I did lmao

I Never Knew:
Forgiving myself because I never knew:
Didn’t know just because I grew up in church and was told God loves and forgives everyone, doesn’t mean you have to “people please” or allow others to mistreat you. You can still love and forgive but from a safe distance AND you don’t have to trust them anymore.
I never knew ANYTHING about manipulating or emotional abuse. I heard of manipulation growing up as this dark thing but NEVER understood it. I was not prepared for it. Never heard of “gaslighting” and I did hear the word “narcissist” before but never understood it.
I NEVER knew about “betrayal trauma”. I knew people could lie and I even knew people could use fake photos online. (Even before the show catfish came out, I knew such a thing existed.) BUT because I was able to FaceTime Andrew and see he’s the guy in the photos, I trusted him… What was there for him to lie about? Everything he told me seemingly checked out on his Facebook and Instagram. Never knew he could still hide his identity and intentions. Since knowing now, I watch the show catfish still but it makes me tense and sad. The show is more real to me now!! 😣
I NEVER knew people could say things to you but have “undertones”. For example, when Andrew was with me during a suicide attack and said to me, “You don’t wanna be like that. You should want better for you life.” Rather than truly caring about my mental health and wanting good for me, he actually was putting me down. I see it so clearly now where as before, there was so much fog and confusion surrounding him, how could I see anything clear???
I Knew Andrew appeared “young” and “innocent” but NEVER knew it was becuase he’s “emotionally immature.” Probably stunted as a child. When I remember back on his outrageous response to me finding his mom’s Facebook, there’s CLEARLY issues there. Why was he so upset when I found his mom if the relationship was good??? I mean, he threatened me NOT to add her as a friend and said he was “not ready for all that” then he isolated me hours till I apologized and then he “forgave me” but begged me not to talk to his mom…. OBVIOUS issues there… 💔🥺
I never knew he couldn’t take accountability or break up with me because he’s not mature, empathetic and he had me in trauma bond!! The reason he had a robotic reaction when I did the breaking up was because it’s a coping mechanism for him. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 He can’t show emotions because most men find that “weak” and plus he doesn’t wanna be the bad guy.” That’s why they make the relationship so miserable so you’ll do the breaking up instead. 😓 (then they can put it back on you and blame you)
I never knew when he quickly was with a new girl and posting her all over his socials, that A. He’s in a rebound for new supply cuz he can’t be alone or without validation and B. He needed to make me jealous. (I was but I didn’t understand that he would treat her as bad as he treated me) he could’ve been making other girls jealous too… 😭 Also, his attempts to call and FaceTime me afterwards but not say anything only listen to my voice, was probably just to manipulate me some more, upset me and keep me in trauma bond. 💔 He didn’t want me to move on even though he had. Sorta. It’s still so hard to wrap my head around it all.
I never knew that years later I would still be heartbroken aka “grieving, “angry”, “sad”, “exhausted”, “sick all the time” and “disconnected from loved ones”. No one could prepare me for allllllll this very long and difficult healing journey. NOW THAT I know and understand more, I’m moving forward with more clarity and truth. I know more now than I did 6 months ago. Excited for what I learn in the next 6!! (God willing) Not just healing from Andrew but Cody and Jake and other childhood things.
ONE DAY AT A TiME ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Levels and Jealous
Tumblr media
😍pairing: Javy "Coyote" Machado x Reader
👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏼pairing: Platonic!Jake “Hangman” Seresin x Reader
💭summary: Who would have thought that your favorite rival would lead you to the love of your life?
🎶 Song Inspiration 1: Levels by Nick Jonas
🎶 Song Inspiration 2: Jealous (Remix) by Nick Jonas
Playlist: Spotify | Apple
⚠️warning: mentions of alcohol and suggestive speech.
📝A/N1: This is a work of fiction. Please do not copy or post anywhere else. Feel free to like and reblog but do give credit. Any constructive criticism is appreciated. I do not own any of the photos included in this post. Photos used have been from Pinterest or Tumblr or Instagram. I also don’t own any of the characters mentioned.
📝A/N2: Jake’s unofficial callsign for reader is Cupcake.
Tumblr media
Who would have told you that your elementary school rival would actually turn out to be your favorite person in the world? Jake would. Actually that is how your rivalry and friendship started. It was first grade and you had to switch classes since your teacher left on maternity leave.
You shyly made your way to the empty seat next to a small blonde boy. He smiles widely at you and told you “We’re gonna be best friends… But I’m a better speller than you. So we’ll be spelling bee rivals. Don’t forget it!”
Your tiny face looked at him in confusion. “And who are you?”
“I’m Jakey.”
The memory made you smile and then laugh when you saw the perfectly imperfect poster Jake made for picking you up at the airport.
You ran the rest of the way to reach him. “Jake! You still can’t spell cupcake? So much for spelling bee master!”
“Listen Cupcake…” he pretends to growl and hugs you tightly. “You look good!”
“I am. I am very good Seresin.”
“Wow. She sounds exactly like you Jake…” the caramel skinned man besides Jake.
“Who do you think I learned it from?” Jake gives your waist another squeeze. “She’s the best person ever. But it goes to her head. Coyote.. this is Cupcake. Cupcake, this is Coyote. One of the other pilots from the academy.”
You extend your hand to shake his. “A pleasure to meet you. I’ve heard about you.”
He places his hand on your to shake and it’s as if you had never known what warmth and colors were. A pleasant warmth takes over and you notice the uniform he’s wearing. Khaki was now your new favorite color.
You hadn’t noticed that Jake, who was now clearing his throat for attention, was also in his uniform. “Shall we go?”
“Mhmm. Yeah,” you nod.
“Good. I got us reservations at the new French restaurant,” Jake says as he and Javy place your bags onto the bed of the truck.
Tumblr media
As you all talked over dinner, Javy discovered there were levels to your friendship with Jake, as well as with your personality.
It’s not that he considered you fake. No. He prided himself in knowing how to read people. That’s why he was able to discover how much more you relaxed and truly showed yourself the more comfortable you were with someone.
Did he want to get to know every inch of your body? Of course. He was not blind and he could appreciate your beauty. But you were the first person that made him want to climb all those levels so he could know you in every facets. It kept taking him by surprise how much this feeling had taken over him after having just met you hours earlier.
“Did you know that this little hell raiser is the one that originally gave me my callsign?” Jake tells Javy as he slings his arm around your shoulder and pulls you in close.
“It was the best insult I could come up with as an 8 year old!” You exclaim laughing. “You sucked at playing hangman.”
Something in Javy’s chest clenches at hearing your laugh. He takes in your smile and how your eyes crinkle at Jake making you laugh.
Everything was always easy for Jake. He always got the best scores on any test. He always was the most popular. And he always got the girls.
Javy knew he didn’t have a right to feel this jealousy over someone he just met, but there was something about you that he just needed to make you his.
“So how long have you two been hooking up?” He asks, more bluntly than he anticipated.
You and Jake look at each other and start laughing. “Never!”
“Nope! She’s the only one that I would never try to get with because she scares me!” Jake says laughing. “No but seriously. She’s truly been the only girl that actually has been a friend and helped me so much.” He leans over and kisses your temple. “Sorry Javy but she’s my original best friend… and rival!”
“Jake is still the worst to play hangman with, but yeah he’s been the only guy I’ve met that has never tried to cross the line of friendship with me. I respect him for that. And now he’s graduating from the Naval Academy!”
“All because you two,” he points between you and Javy. “You two kept me in line.”
You turn to smile at the other aviator. “He gets easily distracted talking about himself right?”
This causes Javy to crack up. He brings his hand to his chest as he still laughs. “Oh! That’s it. You’re my friend now,” he says and subconsciously places his hand on your thigh. Javy’s protective and jealous side were obvious to Jake. He would glower at any of the patrons of the restaurant that would leer at you. He would make sure they knew he had claimed you, so to speak. He would lean closer to you and keep an arm wrapped around the back of your seat.
You’re so distracted by staring at Javy and enjoying his laugh that you don’t notice his hand on your thigh.
Unlike you, Jake notices and smirks to himself. “Let me get refills for everyone,” he says dismissing himself to give you two time to talk.
Tumblr media
For as much as you loved Jake, tonight was the first time you ever wished for him to leave you hanging for a few hours.
Ever since meeting his friend Coyote, you’ve just wanted to be near and with this man. ‘He looks like he smells of cinnamon and whiskey and warm summer mornings,’ you tell yourself.
You try to control the scowl on your face when you see a group of college girls approach Javy while he was at the bar. You sigh as he smiles charmingly at them and feel a bit of jealousy.
That word makes you stop in your train of thought. ‘Jealous? You just met him and have no claim on him!’
You’ll admit you felt a bit jealous at the confidence the college girls had to just approach any man that you wanted. You were about to look away when you noticed that Javy shook his head no when they tried to get his number.
Once he came back with the drinks, you feel his arm go around the back of your seat and you feel yourself relaxed into his side.
It’s not soon after that you are all making your way back to the truck to head home. Jake keeps his eyes on you but stays back pretending he left his wallet. He tosses his keys to Javy. “Just get the truck ready. I’ll be right there.”
Javy nods and uses this alone moment with you to wrap his arm around your waist and pull you close to him. He leans down and whispers in your ear “How about we show Jake what it’s like to leave him hanging and we go have our own friendship?” He nips at your earlobe before he starts walking again.
That warmth that you felt when you met him increased hundredfold. “Make me howl and I’ll understand why you’re called Coyote.���

Sitting To Know Your Collection January Roundup
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Week 1 (January 5th- January 7th)
Album: Learning Logic (2016) by Camilla Recchio Play Count: 5-ish times. Top 2 Tracks: I’m Gone (Track 9) I Don’t Wanna (Track 2)
I started week one a little late, cause the idea for this challenge/project came to me late, but I still managed to get a few good listens in. I had the wheel picker spit an album from my collection out and this is what it gave me. If you haven’t heard Camilla Recchio before I highly recommend you check her out. Listening these last few days just reinforces how good I think she is. The album is soulful and vibey and I didn’t mind having it on repeat. Solid first week.

Week 2 (January 8th - January 14th)
Album: Peace Love Death Metal (2004) by Eagles Of Death Metal Play Count: 4 Top 2 Tracks: San Berdoo Sunburn (Track 13) Whorehopping “Shit, Goddamn” (Track 12)
Not gonna lie I was not immediately siked for this one. I thought I was gonna have to sit through a week of death metal on repeat and although I do enjoy metal, I just wasn’t ready for that lol. Now that I’ve given it a few plays I can first tell y’all I was wrong, it’s for sure not death metal and second it was not bad at all. It had a funky, classic rock kind of vibe and I was actually super here for it. I think the metal dudes would get down with them for sure.
I got this CD sometime last year I believe, when my boss was getting rid of a whole bunch of CD’s cause it seemed cool and different and I don’t have much metal in my collection lol and it’s for sure staying. I took a chance and that chance paid off. There were some things I didn’t completely rock with, but for the most part I’d check out whatever dive bar these folks are playing at. Week 2 was the prime example of why I’m doing this.
Also I just checked their Instagram and their look matches PERFECTLY to this sound. Love the mustaches, love the suits, love the entire energy.
__________________________________________________________________
Weeks 3 + 4 (January 15th - January 22nd)
Week 3 Album: Corinne Bailey Rae North American 2X Disc Deluxe Edition (2007) *Emphasis on the 2nd disc by Corinne Bailey Rae. Play Count: 4 with 1 full run through. Top 2 Tracks: I’d Like To Weekender Remix (Track 8) Daydreaming (Track 6)
Week 4 Album: I Am Me (2005) by Ashlee Simpson Ross Play Count: 5 Top 2 Tracks: Catch Me When I Fall (Track 8) Say Goodbye (Track 11)
Sorry this is a long one. You’re getting a double feature this week, because I paused my posts cause that was one of the ways I was participating in the strike that was happening last week. Anyways, but not really cause Free Palestine, both albums were good.
Corinne Bailey Rae’s self titled is one of my favorite albums of all time, however this second disc took me a minute to get into. The flow just wasn’t as automatic as I thought it would be, but it eventually picked up with help from the lyrics and a full run through of both discs. Once you’re there, you’re vibing.
Made an exception for this album because of the second disc that I had never listened to.
As for week 4, it was automatic with I Am Me. The album starts with Boyfriend, which is never not a good time and just continued from there. It was fun and poppy and had that little rock edge all the pop girls who dated rocker guys from that era had. Good stuff. __________________________________________________________________
Week 5 (January 29th - February 4th)
Album: PETALS for ARMOR (2020) by Hayley Williams Play Count: 4 Top 2 Tracks: Why We Ever (Track 10) Sudden Desire (Track 5)
Not gonna lie this one wasn’t automatic for me, like I thought it would be. It took a moment and even then I wasn’t sure. That being said the 80’s vibe did grow on me and the songs that I wasn’t really feeling at the beginning almost became favorites, particularly “Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris” and “Simmer.” I can see the bleed from what Paramore is putting out and her solo work, even if it’s only a slight bleed. It’s Hayley Williams so you’ll probably find something to like.
PS: I saved this one from getting tossed at the library and I’m glad it got picked cause it makes me not regret saving something I didn’t have space for.
.
.
So those are the albums that I sat with in January. I think it was a good variety. Which one would you check out?
Stay tuned for February.

Top 5 Tracks from all the soundtracks?
This is Season 5 heavy, because it's the soundtrack I've listened to the most, and the most recently.
"Linda," Season 5 - When I first heard it, I was like, "Who the hell is Linda, and why does her theme go SO HARD?"
"Open (Meet the Families)," Season 4 - I could watch Season 4's opening sequence a million times, and same with listening to the music.
"Rye's Theme," Season 2 - AKA "Wrench and Numbers (Inception BWAAH Remix)." Is it blasphemous to say I like this more than the original? It's just so epic!
"Fargo Season 5 Main Theme (Secret Suite)," Season 5 - The one I waited all season for... that never showed up. I think Jeff Russo said on Instagram that he wrote it as a "musical epilogue." Not quite sure what that means, but I really wish it was featured in the show.
"Dot (Moving)," Season 5 - I heard a portion of this in a pre-season teaser and thought it sounded cool, and later my ears perked up whenever I heard it in the show.
Ask me my "Top 5" anything Fargo-related!

Hello blog,
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Click for detail
Lovey Caterpillar i made of origami sticker paper this morning at graysen's house -- they also made me what is now my new favorite hat. this morning was the coldest it has been since fall started so i bundled up and wore my big green fleece that makes me look like a muppet. on my walk back to the bus i ran into a friend who i haven't seen in a long time and he told me i looked so cozy. it was true. i want to make more Guys like this caterpillar.
Me at work yesterday. sweater storytime: my phone heard me say i needed a nice big grey sweater and showed me this one from american eagle that was on sale! mind you i have not purchased from them in a decade except for aerie underwear-- all of my closet (except for this now) is secondhand and independent designers. and then it showed up and was soooo soft and fit sooo perfect that i just had to get it in black (pictured). i've been a fashion victim far too long… it's time to be an instagram ad one now. it's called the Whoa So Soft sweater lol. yesterday i told hayden (who did not know the product name yet) to feel it and they said whoaa it's so soft. so good job on whoever named it.
I'm reading the 33 1/3 book on portishead's Dummy because it's my favorite album of all time. the first time i heard it it scared the shit out of me. it's so bleak. now that it's cold and dark again i can fully enjoy it for what it is. i've been eyeing the book for about a year and since i get a discount at the bookstore next to my work i decided to bite the bullet once i saw it there. in addition to the album itself i love the band's remixes of their singles. this is my favorite one.

all right no really no really this time we are getting Gap, the second ever full-length studio album by That Band I Probably Should Shut Up About Someday, sometime tomorrow Almaty time (knowing our guys and their track record, quite possibly 11:59 pm Almaty time; for those wondering, Almaty is GMT +6, presently ten hours ahead of New York). And I’m putting my markers down before I’ve heard any of it. I am generally terrible at making predictions, but at least this time we’ll have concrete evidence as to how terrible.
so here’s what I’m predicting:
title track music credits are ZaQ, Bala, Alem, in that order, with assistance from DJ Nai
who also helped out with one or two songs we haven’t heard yet.
at least one song will have “Nice Weather”-esque levels of audible vocal processing and I will complain about it.
ZaQ ends up with more music credits than Ace
but Ace has a credit on the most straightforward ballad / love song.
no solo songs, but in the post-release conversations (slash Instagram Lives), Eaglez start asking about solo songs, and the guys say solo works are planned for later in the year.
(and if that turns out to be true, first up is Bala.)
we are not getting any Imanbek remixes. Granted, I may be the only one thinking that an Imanbek remix might be a possibility, after he appeared on the Feya Perizat roundtable with Ace and ZaQ in 2021, but if he was going to offer them a discount on his usual rate he would’ve done it by now.
At least one song (not counting “Gap,” which we’ve already been told has Kazakh/English punning) has as much English as “eMoji” did, or more.
Here’s one of my more out-there predictions: they find a way to sneak Bala speaking some Korean (something cheesy like annyeong hasaeyo or even saranghae) into one of the raps.
We will get official English subs for “Gap” and any other followup singles, but not the entire album.
The four Saturday Tune demos that haven’t already been turned into Independent!Ninety One singles (”T’nda,” “Don’t Dig It,” “Intro,” and “R (Outro)”) are dead, done, nowhere in sight, they have not been repurposed, they will never be heard again. (Sigh.)
 I will like maybe one song we haven’t heard yet on first listen. Most of the songs I will dislike, perhaps strongly, the first fifty times I hear them and then give them another 300 listens and refuse to admit it publicly (this is what happened with “Órik,” by the way). So if you listen to the album, whether or not you love it, and come over here to find me being a killjoy, please do not take it personally or conclude that this reflects somehow on your taste! It does not! I am just trying to fight off the inevitable sense of letdown after all this buildup with, “eh, it’s probably not that great.” Rest assured that I do want to hear about you enjoying the album even if I’m being grumpy.

Episode 183 : The Natural
"Posthumous ain't the wave..."
- Mega Ran
For this month's cover art, I couldn't resist calling back to one of the most unexpectedly popular stars of the Olympics I was glued to earlier in the month, and going a little Griselda with it 😁 Music-wise, we're almost entirely Hip-Hop this episode, but visiting a lot of different chambers - got some brand new stuff, some tracks that are older than I realised, and we open up with a gem that never got a commercial release...
Mastodon : @[email protected]
Twitch : @airadam13
Playlist/Notes
Warzone : Take It Or Leave It
I left the drop on the front of this track to respect the blog DubCNN, from where I got this track way back - one I've never heard anywhere else! Warzone was a supergroup made up of Kam, Goldie Loc, and MC Eiht of CMW, who drop unapologetically gangsta lyrics through all three verses of this fire tune. Sadly, even though they did record a full album, the world never got to hear it due to them being unable to get a distribution deal - if anyone somehow has a copy, I would love to hear the whole thing! I think Mr. Porter is on production, which makes sense, with the drums having a distinctly Detroit timefeel which really adds to the overall flavour.
Sndtrak : Inhuman
The Detroit stalwart House Shoes was recently playing some beat flips by Oakland producer Sndtrack on a Twitch stream, and before he was done I'd already bought two of his albums, including "FLIPS V2: FLIP​-​TUCK" from which this is drawn. He deconstructs Michael Jackson's "Human Nature" on his Maschine and turns it into a dark, gothic, booming track which lives up to its title! This is an artist well worthy of your support.
Layfullstop : Did I Stutter
Brand new single from a double-threat MC/singer you might know from her work in the Manchester scene over the last few years - she posted a clip on Instagram and I immediately had to buy myself a copy! Layfullstop kills it in less than three minutes with flows and bars galore over a wicked self-produced beat that features smooth keys under an irresistible rhythm track. An artist to always keep an ear out for!
Mega Ran ft. The Outlawz : In The Game
It was great to see Mega Ran return to play in Manchester this month, and while it would have been easy to just reach for his most recent release, we're going back to a personal favourite, the "Live '95" LP. As someone who grew up loving Hip-Hop, hoops - and of course gaming - in the magical time of the 90s, this album explores the intersections of them all. Edi Mean and Young Noble of The Outlawz, best known as 2Pac's crew guest here with a couple of short and positive verses over Yon Li's production, but it's the headliner who really shines here with an excellent first verse. His lines about "anybody I ain’t rock with, don’t put them on my projects" ring truer than ever in a world where some are excusing the use of AI deepfake tech to put words in the mouths of the deceased. We don't support that necromancy over here.
Zion I : We Got It
Accidentally deleted my notes for this - let's try again 😂 This was a nice B-side on the flip of "Here We Come" by Skhool Yard, both taken from the 2001 compilation "The Funky Precedent Vol. 2". The production by 418Hz is sparse enough to allow the straight-ahead dopeness on the mic from the late Zumbi to breathe.
Diamond D ft. Torae and Bishop Lamont : MERK
Jo-Jo on the low pro, the Forest Projects and DITC legend Diamond has returned to bless us with a new release this month, the nine-track "The Diam Piece 3 : Initium", loaded with featured guests all doing their thing over his top-shelf production. The crispy drums and guitar sample with a subtle bass backing create a clean but still grimy backdrop for all the MCs - Bishop Lamont from Cali and Brooklyn's Torae, both true insiders' choices - to bring quality bars. Well under three minutes long, this is concentrated dopeness.
[Jay Dee] Slum Village : Fall In Love (Remix Instrumental)
The original version of "Fall In Love" was at least at some point removed from retail copies of "Fantastic Volume II" due to sample clearance problems, but this remixed version is an underground classic in its own way. I recently picked this up as a 45, though I'd expect that there are some 12"  and digital releases containing this excellent J Dilla beat as well.
DJ Premier & Bumpy Knuckles ft. Flavor Flav : Shake The Room
He may only be on the hook, but I thought we needed the Public Enemy legend, US Women's water polo team sponsor Flav, and general US Olympic hypeman on the episode somewhere this month! As he has done so often for Chuck D, he brings a different tone and change of energy to this track to contrast the gravelly-voiced and aggressive style of Bumpy Knuckles, with DJ Premier switching up the beat in those sections to match. The first single from the "Kolexxxion" LP, this one has a beat that Busta Rhymes apparently rejected, but Bumpy and Flav have made it what it needed to be.
Black Milk ft T3 and Phat Kat : Danger
Into the crates for a Phat Kat feature after getting the chance to play an all-Detroit warmup set before he performed in Manchester earlier this month! This cut from fellow 313 native and beast producer Black Milk's debut LP "Sound Of The City, Volume 1" has him taking the mic for the opening verse, before T3 of Slum Village takes the baton for the second, and finally Phat Kat burns it down on the close with pure aggression. Some of those that Kat said should "stop rapping and drive a cab" might well prefer to look into rideshare options if they were on the receiving end of this torching 🔥
Jel : Delete Sound
Just a short instrumental bridge courtesy of Jel, co-founder of the Anticon label as well as, of course, a producer in his own right. This is a great drum workout entirely done on the legendary SP-1200, from the 2002 "10 Seconds" album, named after the total sampling time the SP has available!
O.C. : The Inventor
I have to credit DJ Rolling Adam for introducing me to this track after playing it on one of his Twitch streams! It's a bit of an O.C. obscurity that had passed me by, with Ogee cleverly using the intro of a much loved jazz track that has been sampled on some classics - none of which made much of this part of the original. On the mic...standard solid performance from O.C., who can always be relied on to hold up his part of proceedings. You can find this on the 2006 "Hidden Gems" collection, or on 12" if you're willing to buy one of the relatively few copies that seem to be available on the used market.
Kev Brown : The Cause (Instrumental)
Absolutely fire beat! Not a crazy number of elements, just the basics done flawlessly, which is a real strength of Landover's Kev Brown, one of the most respected producers of his generation by those in the know. Of all the tracks from his "Selective Hearing" project with LMNO, this was by far my favourite, and the instrumental works well in a standard DJ set, an MC cipher, as a scratch backdrop - it has a quality and restraint that give it ultimate versatility.
Verb T ft. Malek Winter and Da Flyy Hooligan : Mere Mortal
Heavy UK business. The "Restoration" project is a collaboration between the veteran MC Verb T (who may be best known to many as one quarter of The Four Owls) and Malek Winter, who comes through with the 21st century lo-fi boom-bap styles on production. North-West London "gourmet rap" purveyor Da Flyy Hooligan features here, as one of the very few guests on the LP, as the MCs speak on how no matter how bulletproof you may feel, it's never quite so.
Sean Price : Title Track
Ok - in a total inversion of Ronseal naming conventions, this tune is called "Title Track" but the album it comes on is entitled "Mic Tyson", meaning that this is actually not the title track in literal sense! Classic merry rulebreaking from the late great Sean P, whose brutal bars on this 2012 release jockey for position against Eric G's slow, grinding, dramatic beat for sheer aggression. As always, R.I...P!
DJ Quik ft. David Blake II : Shine
There are all kinds of things I've seen in Hip-Hop as time has gone on that remind me of my (thankfully) advancing years, but this one is up there - DJ Quik, who I first heard as a nineteen-year-old MC on  the 1990-recorded "Tonite", being in the game long enough that on this track his son is the featured guest! Quik's production is low-tempo with the double-time hi-hats doing work to add a feeling of extra pace as son and then father get on the mic for each of the two verses. This pick from 2014's "The Midnight Life" is certainly not "Just The Two Of Us", but it's an interesting union all the same.
Trae Tha Truth : Trunk Gone Glow
We go deep and dark sonically as we approach the end of the show, taking it down to Houston, Texas, for a track from a true legend of the scene. This comes from the "Another 48 Hours" mixtape, the second of two albums released by Trae that were recorded in a mere two days each! Trademark Houston lyrical content, talking about the famous SLAB cars and the light-up trunk kits that make them extra-personalised. MOXIII and Watson The Great are credited with production over the whole LP, and this track is a spaced-out, screwed-up synthy soundscape with quality drum machine work over the top.
[El-P] Run The Jewels : Job Well Done (Instrumental)
If I see the instrumentals for a good album available for sale, I make a point of picking them up, so this month I was glad to notice that the beats for the first Run The Jewels LP had been released as a standalone collection. If you already know the album, then you know that it was packed with raw beats and this one is no exception - no crossover style, no chill, just banging, menacing production from El-P.
Justice & Thundercat : The End
This played during the closing ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics and sent me - and a lot of other people - scrambling to Shazam it before they switched to something else! The combination of the French electronic duo Justice and Los Angeles bass force of nature Thundercat (although he's primarily on vocal duties here) is sonic bliss, and makes this year's "Hyperdrama" album one to seek out if this is anything to go by. If you have a nice, clean, tuned sound system...this is going to sound spectacular.
Please remember to support the artists you like! The purpose of putting the podcast out and providing the full tracklist is to try and give some light, so do use the songs on each episode as a starting point to search out more material. If you have Spotify in your country it's a great way to explore, but otherwise there's always Youtube and the like. Seeing your favourite artists live is the best way to put money in their pockets, and buy the vinyl/CDs/downloads of the stuff you like the most!
Check out this episode!

Reel People - Second Guess (Simon Grey Remix)
Back when I ran the Mobile Soul Podcast, I played a lot of Reel People's music. I still do, really. Love them.
One day, though, I came across this track, and I lost my actual mind. Simon Grey is the guy who did The Galactica Suite, which was a TUNE in fashion and electronic music circles back then. If you've heard it, you understand that Simon is a synth DUDE. He is also a drummer. So when I heard this remix, it blew me away, because the original song is pretty tame. Nice vocal performance, but in the end...it's aight.
But here was Simon, assigned to do a cool dance remix, and he's just doing everything - drums, multiple layers of synths, solos, fixing the vocal mix a bit - not giving a damn if it was in fashion or not. I have only ever had this as a digital file, and so I don't know if this was ever released as a single or not. I can see that this version of the song is not available to stream.
One of the tags used to describe this was "future jazz". So...we're in the future now. I wondered if I would still enjoy it.
Wow. I still love this.
The other remixes of this track - God bless those producers. The mixes are pretty good, but none of them are a 9+ minute REWORK of the damn song! This is one of those situations where I love the remix more than the original, even years later.
I haven't heard music from Simon in years, and I hope he's okay. I follow him on instagram and I may share this memory there as well.
For some of you, this will be the first time you're hearing this, and I hope you enjoy it. This was a great moment in time for synth geeks into dance music.

Title: Oxymoron [6head_slug Remix] Artist: Cement Tea Label: "No sleep till bedtime..."⁣⁣⁣⁣ Format: Digital Release: Dec 24th 2023
Track list:
 01] Oxymoron [6head_slug Remix]
Link: https://nosleeptillbedtime.bandcamp.com/track/oxymoron-6head-slug-remix
Last year Brazilian artist Cement Tea dropped a massive remix project on us all, which featured a host of talented artists from around the world: https://nosleeptillbedtime.bandcamp.com/album/oxymoron-remixes
We had hoped to be a part of this compilation, but as usual. Life got in the way ⁣⁣#fuckbread
So as the time passed, a lot of unfinished and abandoned projects started to pile up, and have sat here on our computer. And unfortunately, not much has changed…
In recent times I had revisited the remix, and there were actually three different working versions at one stage. I couldn’t decide which one to invest in. And again, time got away on us…
Until today.
Today I decided to say fuck it, just do it!
I hate the idea of content for contents sake. Where everything has become so disposable, or only used as a means of achieving some sort of short term relevance or attention. I‘m never satisfied with anything that I make either way, even those tracks in the past I did that may have been well received.
So ultimately, who am I to judge?
I still have so much music and art to share with you all. Things that I’d even go as far as to say I actually like... lol
But without allowing these things an opportunity to be heard and seen, what good is it all sitting here on my old hard drive?
Thank you Guilherme for the opportunity to remix one of your productions, to be able to share your music with everyone over the years, and for your patience 🙏🏻
To everyone else, thank you for the continued support 🍻

Tumblr media
An old pic of Busy P was in the most recent Daft Punk memory tapes episode which also had a segment uploaded to the Ed Banger Instagram. The caption reads as follows:
#tbt 2001
You've heard that story, but it sounds like the right time to share it again.
I pushed the doors of Right Track in New York. I was with Mehdi, Pharrell welcomed us like we were already friends. He was there, at the piano, jamming wearing a vintage Rush t-shirt and a green cap. He was working on a beat that will become <I'm a slave 4u>
I couldn't hide the fact I was a fan. I remember Mehdi told me to keep my trucker cap on, < stay as you are > even if I thought it will look too obvious. While on the road with Daft Punk, our car was boom baping with x Superthug >, < Shake ya ass >, < Southern hospitality >, < I just wanna love u >
The Neptunes quickly became that little name we were searching in the credits on the records, and everytime it was written we immediately knew it was them! Like a sonic signature that takes you to another galaxy.
I decided I had a mission : To get a remix from The Neptunes for Daft Punk! Thomas and Guy-Man were cool enough to let me travel to NYC and do my thing. We were working on the release of < Discovery > the 2nd Daft punk album < Harder Better Faster Stronger > will become a single, I felt it was the perfect one to be remixed by Pharrell & Chad.
We went to the control room, I pressed play on the DAT player.
Pharrell went mental listening to that Daft groove, his eyes breakdancing to the vocoder! I knew he was impressed, his smile couldn't lie. To add more craziness about what was happening Pharrell called the guy in the second recording studio... Timbaland showed up and I pressed play again! I was with my brother Dj Mehdi, and my heroes Pharrell and Timbo in the same room listening to the band of my life. Writing this gives me goose bump. Ok ok those instagram posts must be shorter sorry...I could write a lot about all this
What's important here, I am honored that Pharrell is remembering this whole story. l am very proud to have been a sparkle in this collaboration. But I'd like to make things clear, by inviting Pharrell on Random Access Memories Thomas and Guy Man are the masterminds, the genius craftsmen of one of the best featuring of our modern pop culture! < Get Lucky > they said, oh oui, lucky I was."
