#Queen kunta

[whatevsman16]

6, 9, 23, 30? :0

6. At this moment, Not Like Us, Kendrick Lamar. Alternately, King Kunta, also by Kendrick.

9. Castles Made of Sand, Jimi Hendrix

23. Either God Save the Music, the Wieners or Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Green Day. But like, not in a sad way? My dad introduced me to Green Day via that song, so I just sorta associate it with him. It’s a weirdly happy association that I just choose to not question.

30. I’m gonna Green Star, the Pear. For some reason, my sister said Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen.

March 19, 2023 - Day 82

Banjul, The Gambia

Banjul is the capital of the country of The Gambia. Banjul is on St. Mary’s island which is formed where the Gambia River enters the Atlantic Ocean. Banjul takes its name from the Mandinka people who gathered fibers from plants on the island to make rope which is called “Bang Julo”. You may recall the name Mandinka because it is the tribe where “Kunta Kinde” of the movie Roots was from. The country was a British colony so everyone spoke English and almost everyone is Muslim.

I had arranged for a boat trip up the Gambia estuary. We got on a boat that was like the African Queen and away we went spending 6 hours cruising through a huge mangrove swamp. They prepared a nice African lunch over a charcoal fire in the middle of the boat, stopped at a sandbar where I went swimming in the Gambia River then ate an excellent African lunch and overall had a very pleasant day. I did not go into the main city of Banjul at all.

Actually the etymology of "cunt" is highly contested. It might be an Old Norse word ("kunta", meaning vulva) or the Latin "cunnus", also meaning vulva). According to this website "In Anglo Saxon, “Cu” is one of the oldest word sounds in recorded language, a feminine meaning that has evolved into words such as “cow,” “cunt,” and “queen,” though the earliest “cunt” has been used in English is during the Middle Ages." The earliest use of it we have in English comes from around 1230 CE, in Gropecunte Lane in Oxford, and generally speaking it was mildly vulgar in the Middle Ages (cf Chaucer saying "He caught her by the queynte" in The Canterbury Tales) but far from being The Worst thing one could say. This horror was reserved instead for highly blasphemous language. Over the centuries, as notions around privacy public behaviour changed, words that had previously been acceptable became seen as ruder and ruder, at the same time that blasphemy slowly lost its power. Words to do with disgusting bodily functions were bad enough, but any to do with sex or genitals were absolutely unforgivable. For more information I highly recommend Holy Shit: A Brief History of Swearing by Melissa Mohr.

Huh... I'm... not unhappy with the songs my Spotify Repeat shuffled in. It could have been worse!

I'll tag @kalanadi, @ash-etherwood, @avalyria and @raikya. If you feel free to show off your amazing music taste. :D

And everyone else who sees this can obviously join in too! I'm looking forward to see everyones selection.

Chief Petty Officer Alexander Murray Palmer Haley (August 11, 1921 – February 10, 1992) was a writer and the author of the book Roots: The Saga of an American Family. It adapted the book as a television miniseries of the same name and aired to a record-breaking audience of 130 million viewers. The book and miniseries raised public awareness of African American history and inspired a broad interest in genealogy and family history.

His first book was The Autobiography of Malcolm X. He was working on a second family history novel at his death; the book was published as Queen: The Story of an American Family. It was adapted as a film, Alex Haley’s Queen.

He was born in Ithaca and was the eldest of three brothers and a sister. He lived with his family in Henning, Tennessee, before returning to Ithaca with his family when he was five years old. His father was Simon Haley, a professor of agriculture at Alabama A&M University, and his mother was Bertha George Haley, who had grown up in Henning. The family had Mandinka, other African, Cherokee, Scottish, and Scottish-Irish roots. He spoke proudly of his father and the obstacles of racism he had overcome. He was enrolled at Alcorn State University and Elizabeth City State College. He began a 20-year career in the Coast Guard.

He began another phase of his journalism career. He became a senior editor for Reader’s Digest magazine. He wrote his only screenplay, Super Fly T.N.T.

He traced back his maternal ancestry, through genealogical research, to Jufureh.

Roots started with the story of Kunta Kinte, who was kidnapped in The Gambia and transported to the Province of Maryland to be sold as a slave. He was a seventh-generation descendant of Kunta Kinte, and his work on the novel involved twelve years of research, intercontinental travel, and writing. He went to the village of Juffure, where Kunta Kinte grew up, and listened to a tribal historian tell the story of Kinte’s capture. He traced the records of the ship, The Lord Ligonier, which carried his ancestor to the Americas. He married Nannie Branch (1941-64)​, Juliette Collins (1964-72)​, and Myran Lewis ​(1977). ​#africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #alphaphialpha

Observations

#FearOfMu21c was part of "Music Twttr", an accumulation of mostly-British mostly-middle-aged mostly-male posters. It reflects a particular cultural bias: primarily The Sort Of Tune They'll Play on BBC 6 Music. Almost nothing not in English, very little folk and country and roots music.

I ended up with 17 votes counting to the top 261, 16 to the top 250. This is as much as would be expected by sheer chance.

tag game 🎼 holy shit that italicized the emoji too

i was tagged by my muse (all 9 of them) @jiminsproof and the supreme @softertune to list my top 5 songs at the moment. not sure if these are my top songs but i’ve been playing them a bit more than usual lately and i have many things to say!

1. vegas by doja cat - i remember this came out like a couple months ago or something and i liked it but i forgot about it. but THEN my roommate and i were watching something on youtube and the preview for the elvis movie came on and my roommate mentioned that the guy playing elvis was taylor swift’s boyfriend and i was like no WAY how did i not hear about that? but then we kept watching and found out it was austin butler. and i was like no. not austin butler of zoey 101 fame beach boy with the shaggy blonde hair that every preteen tv show/movie in the 2000s tried to convince me was hot austin butler? he looks so different! no shit he looks different ashley it’s been 15 years and you need to stop recognizing people by their hair ANYWAY it reminded me of this song again and OH BOY. sampling the original version of hound dog for a movie about elvis is...legendary...and her voice when she says “ahhhh get it” 🥵😮‍💨 god i hope she isn’t serious about quitting music for good 🤞

2. gone by charli xcx and christine & the queens - tbh i’ve just been playing this regularly ever since i first heard it a few months ago (late to the party as usual!). it’s on my most perfect pop songs playlist. also here’s the music video. happy pride!!! 👭

3. king kunta by kendrick lamar - due to mr. morale, comeback/hopapalooza hype, and my excessive internal RAGE i have been on a hard kendrick kick

4. orpheus by sara bareilles - i don’t think i’ve mentioned this before but i’m actually a HUGE fan of sara b. like i don’t keep up with her personal stuff or anything but i know a lot of her songs. behind the singles you might already know she makes the BEST soft strong sad bitch comfort music her voice is so soothing and she’s so POETIC. anyway this song (the whole album really) helped me a lot through the first half of 2019 and i’ve been thinking about that time lately. and this particular song might be helpful to some other people too given...recent events...

5. man! i feel like a woman by shania twain - my roommates and i have a mom music playlist that we like to play on long drives. this song came on recently and i guess i just forgot how good it is? i can’t listen to it without smiling, it just puts me in a good mood every time 😊 and i hereby declare this song is gender neutral! yay!!!

ZERO pressure tagging: @namjoonsmissingairpods, @mutedstring, @sugaggukkie, @blueside-hobi, @mindofnmn, and anyone else who wants to do it! <3

what i'm listening to 11/5/2022 (song notes under cut)

spot. link//yt link

Laura Les - Haunted: haunted. by laura les

Black Dresses - Pink Panther: i'm just gonna paste a draft i had written about this. "i can't keep quiet anymore. i have to talk shit. so black dresses' version of pink panther is really good, right? but i went and listened to the scene queen original bc i was curious. i don't like scene queen but i figured: it's a well-written song, i'll give her another shot. and oh good god black dresses improved that song by SO MUCH. took it from like a 4 to a 9 by turning it from a punk wannabe tiktok cisbian smirkfest to a certified banger preaching the word of gross toxic trans sex. no i'm not projecting don't be silly"

Steve Lacy - Bad Habit: this might be the first song to feature on more than one WILT and that's because i fucking love this song. this is without a doubt my pop hit of the year. it's breezy, funny, cozy, loving, and just the right amount of cheeky. good shit baybee

Insane Clown Posse - Hokus Pokus: i've finally done it. i've finally gotten into icp. they're goofy as shit and the music is dogshit but it's just... a lot of fun! and kind of cathartic, listening to some weird clowns talk about all the terrible things they're gonna do to the shitbags of society but without any sense of righteousness. idk this is too many words to dedicate to icp but i'm just having a hard time explaining what has finally grabbed me about them

Kendrick Lamar - King Kunta: holy shit talk about a song that makes your jaw drop from first listen. every second of this (and the whole album) is so tight and purposeful. probably one of the greatest records of my lifetime. can you tell that rateyourmusic account is getting to me

Laura Les - ditch a body in the laundry (feat. Dylan Brady): INSANE FUCKING SONG. put that shit in my veins for real. this is probably my second favorite laura les ep, after "i just don't wanna name it anything with 'beach' in the title". unfortunately, none of this stuff is on spotify, the greyed out version you'll see in the playlist is my own local file from bandcamp. but it's on the youtube list!

The Beach Boys - Caroline, No - Mono/Remastered: i've gotten into the beach boys within the past six months or so and... it just gets you, y'know? and like i think a lot of people who only know the hits have this impression of the band as this annoyingly peppy pop band but like. brian wilson. there's some real dark shit to be found, and the absolute numb tragedy of this song just really stuck with me

Black Dresses - Kill All Your Friends: these covers!! damn!!! when this dropped i didn't dare to dream it would be a mcr cover, i just figured they had picked the same title for an original by coincidence. but ohhh was i in for a surprise. i think it was a perfect selection of song, and it hits in all the right ways to maintain the breathy desperation of the original while putting the signature black dresses sonic cocaine all throughout

Spin Doctors - Cleopatra's Cat: weirdass song. like i said last month, i've been into the spin doctors since their trainwreckords episode, and i've always had kind of an admiration for this song. it's so ambitious, and just fun in a way that's both silly and complex. it finally clicked for me eventually and now i walk around all day doing the little scatting thing from the "hook"

Savage Garden - I Want You: i'll be real i don't know shit about savage garden but this track bangs. i found this in the black dresses inspirations playlist and it just took immediately. i love the y2k era, almost kind of boy band energy from it, would definitely check out more of this band's stuff

Sam Smith & Kim Petras - Unholy: there are a lot of things to be said about this song but i'll keep this really brief. one, it's cool to see trans artists get a number one hit. two, the hook is really really really fucking good. that will be all

Brian David Gilbert - Tragedy: i felt really strongly about bdg's first halloween parody ep from last year, i kept listening to it long after halloween and it even made it onto the latest favorite album ranking. i don't feel nearly as strongly about this one, but it's still enjoyable. significantly, i've actually never heard the bee gee's original of this one, so the catchiness of it is new to me in this cover version. happy halloween!

chipmunks on 16 speed - Call Me: same thing as ditch a body with the local files here. imo this is the best chipmunks on 16 speed track, everything about it aligns just right and makes it feel like this is how the song is meant to be listened to. i know it's really just a novelty but, as i believe i've sufficiently proved, i am 100% willing to take novelties completely seriously

Fetty Wap - 679 (feat. Monty): apparently this became a tiktok song at some point? i have remained blissfully unaware of this fact until making this list. this one is just a nostalgia banger, funnily enough because of its popularity on places like vine. confession: i really did think that the lyric was "i got the soda" bc of that one danny gonzalez vine. happy soda saturday

Incredibox V3 - Over Your Head: youtube exclusive here. i have nothing to say about this, i just found it in my old saved videos and it's kinda cool

Living Colour - What's Your Favorite Color?: i have this album on cassette as a gift from a relative, which is where i first heard it recently. i have a lot to say about the history contained here but once more i will be brief. this album has a lot of really tasty cuts, this one not being anywhere near the best of them. it is, however, probably the catchiest, which is how it got on this list

Quasimoto - Catchin' The Vibe: another artist i know virtually nothing about. this kind of doom-adjacent eccentric hip hop is one of the hundreds and hundreds of styles i've been itching to get into, and this is one of my first baby steps

The Garden - Call This # Now: and we close out with yet another artist that's new to me! i guess there's a theme. an entrancing blend of hooks and weird shit is always an easy sell for me. also i'm probably the millionth person to say this but. spamton vibes

[swedebeast]

Today I learned the Swedish word for woman, “kvinna”, is related to Norwegian “kona” which also means wife. They are also related to the English word “queen”, and the Armenian word for woman is “kin”.

The English word for kin used to look like “cynn” in Old English, which was related to concepts of ancestry and also gender - and the Swedish word for gender/sex is “kön”.

Funny, that. And various Scandinavian words, including a regional word in Swedish, has the word “kunta” be a word for.. Well, something female related.

Funny how things tie together like that.

This cured my boredom for a little bit. Was making a few new music playlists and thought.. hmm. I wonder what kind of music the RFA listens to? So, I made this. For no reason at all.

What Kind of Music the RFA + V/Saeran Listen To:

Saeyoung/707:

- (I always see people writing that he’d listen to all star or other cringe meme songs because that’s what seems to be his entire personality, but I like to think he has more substance than that and listens to songs that don’t have to do with memes.)

- He definitely listens to rap/hip-hop.

- Can you not imagine him driving down the road in his cars, windows down, music blasting?

- He listens to his music uber loud in his headphones while working.

- His favorite artist is probably Tyler the creator, i mean, how could you not love him.

- Listens to Mac Miller when he’s sad :(

Zen:

- (Similar to Saeyoung, I don’t believe Zens entire personality revolves around musicals, he probably doesn’t listen to them that often imo.)

- I like to think he’s a... well rounded individual when it comes to music

- Listens to anything and everything.

- I could see him listening to the same music as Seven, but is also very into 70s-90s rock like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the like.

- He runs listening to all of his music on shuffle and doesn’t have a specific playlist so there’s never a certain vibe to it— it really is all over the place.

- In addition to Seven’s playlist, here’s Zen’s

Yoosung:

- Yoosung likes more upbeat music, maybe more new age/alternative pop

- Listens to music every time he tries to study, but usually get distracted by it and starts to sing along instead of actually doing his work

- Is probably trying to branch out of his style, Seven and Zen try to convince him to listen to their favorite genres

- The three of them always argue about who has the best taste in music lol

- He’s constantly wondering if his music is “manly” enough (it’s okay yoosung it’s just music)

- If this dude gets drunk and hears any of this music he goes absolutely wild and dances all over the place

Jumin:

- this guy has 2 modes and that’s it: classical bitch or music that has words

- He appreciates the fine art of classical music and listens to it when he has work to get done or when he’s trying to relax.

- If he’s in a good mood he’ll put on a playlist that includes “music with actual lyrics!”

- It’s a dad playlist. Billy Joel, Billy Joel, Billy Joel, Elton John, The Beatles, Billy Joel.

- He likes Billy Joel. Jumin has a dad personality you can’t convince me otherwise lol
