on new year’s eve this psychopathic (ex) fan decided i was gonna be the target of his pent up, year-end anger. he got into my dm’s and proceeded to tell me i “fell off so hard”, called me a loser, desperate, “nothing but a porn account”. called me boring. blocked me on everything. brought up my failed relationship. mind you this loser used to send me unsolicited dick pics for like 2 years… dark spirited and vile. and yes, he is. if you see this, know that your karma is coming. it always comes back around.

girl…. shit was crazy lmao. this isn’t the first time i’ve had extreme reactions to this new era. i’ve been told about myself left right back forward up and down. i knew i was making something different, but i didn’t realize it was gonna be so polarizing for so many. sorry im a f*g that likes to take my clothes off, stick my tongue out & make slutty electronic music? nah, i’m not sorry lmaooo.

“i’m just a rockstar��

from my perspective as the artist, this era is simply walking the path of my favorite icons before me. and i’m not holding back. i’ve never been *less* desperate. i’ve never been *more* myself. i *LOVE* the music i’m making now. and most importantly, i’ve never felt closer with the fans listening to me now. i feel understood on a new level. no walls up, no colorful, sparkly get ups. just me, a drink in my hand and a pretty little speedo holding my cock in. it doesn’t get rawer than that (pun intended).

there’s a conversation to be had about the way gay men will hold other gay men to this insane, impossible standard & their constant need to tear each other down when they see another climbing, but i don’t have time nor do i care to. good fucking riddance dude. you will never put me in box. i will never be someone you can control. i’ve heard every insult in the book. i’ve been told both that everything and nothing is wrong with me. i’m ready for everything the new year brings. YOU CAN’T GET RID OF ME BITCH!!!!

alright. album announcement is actually coming, sry to pull a sza and lie, idk why the pre-save page hasn’t appeared. i’ll see you soon though fr!!!!! love you.

new album every day [09.04.23]

Michael Medrano - LoveSexDrugs

i have been waiting for this album for MONTHS, and it has 100% lived up to expectations! LoveSexDrugs is a short, sleazy disco/pop album with groovy tracks and lyrics that just OOZE sex. from start to finish, it's incredibly fun and just BEGGING to be danced to - i absolutely love this!!

my favourite tracks: FLUIDS, Do Your Thing, Babe! (feat. Funk LeBlanc), Personal Heaven

[nof-ckinsaint]

[youngtomhardy]

I love being naked. If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m a bit of an exhibitionist. Honestly, I find it — for a lack of a better phrase — sooo fucking rock n roll. Like the years of rock stars whipping it out on stage or doing something fucking outrageous is something I’ve always loved.

I also grew up a Jehovah’s Witness, a very very repressed group of people. Their interpretation of the Bible is incredibly literally and they’re stubborn as hell. So sex & sexuality was something so shameful to me for a long long time.

But I’m an adult now. I make sex pop. I go to Palm Springs nude resorts and get day drunk with daddies in the pool. Why the fuck not?! I’ve spent WAY too long hiding everything about myself for so many different reasons. There’s nothing more soul sucking than having to hide who you are and with this next phase of my life, I refuse to hide for anyone. I hope everyone listening to me gets that same sense of liberation, that is my ultimate goal in this life.

gonna try a new thing just for fun! these are my 12 favorite new songs from the month of April! all of the songs will be linked below! enjoy with peace and love <3

also feel free to follow my rate your music page!

12. “LoveSexDrugs” - Michael Medrano

featured on LoveSexDrugs - Michael Medrano

genre: dance-pop

Some of the most fun I’ve had with an album all year is Michael Medrano’s LoveSexDrugs. Medrano has been dropping killer queer dance singles over the last few years (check out “Fluids”, “Naked”, and “Disco Sleaze” for example). Those singles are featured on this album alongside this track. This track is funky and sexy. Not to mention that chorus goes incredibly hard. More people need to be aware of this project!

11. “Don’t Let the Devil (feat. Thank You Good Sir)” - Killer Mike & El-P

featured on Michael - Killer Mike (not yet released)

genres: hardcore hip-hop, chipmunk soul

A Run the Jewels track in everything, but name. Killer Mike and El-P return with a short, but fiery banger that I only wish was longer. This track is a teaser for Killer Mike’s new solo album, his first in ten years, and if the rest is as good as this track I think we’re in for a treat. Killer Mike comes into every project with intensity and you hang on to nearly every word he says. Enjoyed this track and can’t wait to hear the album in June.

10. “Kill Bill (feat. Doja Cat) - SZA

genres: alt-pop, psychedelic pop

SZA’s last album didn’t hit me has hard as CTRL, but this song was undeniably amazing. This new version adds Doja Cat to the mix which makes for an interesting take on the song. I still prefer the original, but this is a fun new version. SZA and Doja Cat collaborated on the latter’s 2021 hit “Kiss Me More” which was one of the best tracks of that year. These two have great chemistry.

9. “Top Dog” - Magdalena Bay

featured on mini mix vol. 3 - Magdalena Bay

genre: synthpop

The third installment of Magdalena Bay’s mini mix mixtape series is full of the extremely well-crafted synthpop the duo have become known for. “Top Dog” is my personal favorite on the project. It’s a cute little track filled with references to Laura Dern, a great chorus, and occasional “woofs” in the background. There’s a lot to love about this song and I’ve been bumping it nonstop.

8. “Seaforth” - King Krule

featured on Space Heavy - King Krule (not yet released)

genres: jangle-pop, indie pop

I’ll admit, I’ve never been too crazy about King Krule. However, this new single is pretty damn great. It’s dreamy and psychedelic, but it hooks you in. Just kinda feels like you’re floating. This track has inspired me to go back and give his previous work another shot. Also highly anticipating the upcoming album in June!

7. “black enuff” - redveil & JPEGMAFIA

featured on playing w/ fire EP - redveil

genres: hardcore hip-hop, experimental hip-hop

For someone so young, redveil is perfecting his sound at a rapid pace. I feel like each new project from him has been a step-up from the last. This new track is probably one of his best so far. He and Peggy team up for an aggressive and creative burst of energy. redveil was also featured on the amazing track “Kingdom Hearts Key” on JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown’s SCARING THE HOES collab album from last month. The future looks very bright for redveil.

6. “Saddest Worm Ever” - HMLTD

featured on The Worm - HMLTD 

genres: art rock, progressive rock

One of the most pleasant surprises of the year so far is the wild rock opera The Worm by British band HMLTD. I find it hard to highlight a single track from this album because I think its best experienced as a whole, but “Saddest Worm Ever” is probably my favorite track on the record. Just this track on its own is a sprawling adventure with some wildly satisfying moments. Definitely check this track (and the whole album) out!

5. “Begin Again” -  Jessie Ware

featured on That! Feels Good! - Jessie Ware

genre: disco

Jessie Ware’s last album is one of the finest pop albums of the decade. Unfortunately, it was released when the pandemic was in full force so I don’t think the album got the chance to shine as brightly as it should have. Luckily, Ware’s new album is out this month and with tracks like this I think she has the potential to go even higher than before.

4. “Turkey Vultures” - Wednesday

featured on Rat Saw God - Wednesday

genres: indie rock, noise rock

Rat Saw God is one of the best albums of the month for sure. The album is a great blend of noise rock and alt-country. Most of my favorite tracks on the album were singles released in past months and since I wanted to keep this list solely on stuff released this month, I chose my favorite track that wasn’t a single. “Turkey Vultures” is great at building tension. Each lyric slowly builds on the last until it explodes into a burst of noise rock goodness. A great track from a great album.

3. “Undergrowth” - Squid

featured on O Monolith - Squid (not yet released)

genres: experimental rock, art punk

Another exciting single from Squid in preparation for their new album in June. After hearing this and the other single, I’m really loving the direction this album is going in. I’m such a sucker for this new wave of British post-punk. The drums on this track are very groovy and the trumpets are also a nice touch. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the album in June!

2. “Cut” - Chat Pile

featured on Brothers in Christ EP - Nerver/Chat Pile

genres: noise rock, sludge metal

This new track from Chat Pile, off of their joint EP with Nerver, for me kinda solidifies their status as a noise rock/metal band to keep your eyes on. Their previous record, God’s Country, was great and this track builds upon a lot of the sounds featured on that album. Noisy guitars and intense vocals that just wash over you. 

1. “I Been Young” - George Clanton

genres: baggy, chillwave, dream pop

This new track from the eclectic electronic artist George Clanton is absolutely incredible. It is very obviously inspired by some of the sounds of 90′s pop music, but it has a modern edge to it that makes it feel almost timeless. The chorus on this track has been stuck in my head ever since I heard it for the first time. Absolute joy to listen to and I can’t wait to see what Clanton’s next project is gonna be.

[the-irreverend]

I never forget the love, care, and dedication for the character that these two demonstrated voice acting as Angel Dust.

[even-michael]

appreciating viv and amir for talking about Alastor being aroace, and I’m glad there was a whole conversation on it! It made me and I’m sure a lot of other aroace (and aromantic or asexual) people feel seen!
