I want to buy a cassette player, but everyone online says that new ones have the durability of wet toilet paper and that vintage is the way to go, but the good ones were discontinued 20 or 30 years ago so they're few and far between and the ones that still work are expensive as hell. We live in a time when you can't just buy a quality product anymore. They simply do not exist. Everything is designed to break and need replacing, planned obsolescence. I want physical media, I want tapes, I want CDs, I want DVDs, I want to own something and know I own it forever.

THERE IS NO ENDING BETWEEN YOU AND ME. a fanmix about codependency, about wanting to become one.

01. and you know me now like i came from your own body; i can feel your pulse like a moth inside a jar // 02. i want the parts of your hand-grenade heart; that beat slowly with anger and fear // 03. never belong to anyone else but me // 04. you are like an invading spore; growing inside of me; never ever letting go // 05. i want to share your mouthful; i want to do all the things your lungs do so well // 06. i’m jealous of your neck; that narrow porcelain plinth of flesh; it gets to hold your head; and i’d rather perform the task instead // 07. let me swallow all your fear; let me devour all that is new // 08. i will eat you alive // 09. if you gotta amputate; don’t give me the tourniquet // 10. i don’t need to sell my soul; he's already in me // 11. one womb, one shame, one resolve // 12. and they'll try; they'll try to keep us apart // 13. holy as only i know; i will never let you go; oh my sacred heart; you are everything to me // 14. you gave up a wife and a family; you gave your ghost; to be alone with me // 15. close my eyes and make a wish; i wanna live together in a petri dish // 16. a frequency of me and you; we were on fire; one flame bursting into two
