“I romanticize even the worst of times when all it took to make me cry was being alive.” is a line of all time already to me. Thank you Paramore.

Oh my god, I finally understand why everyone raves about London Calling by The Clash. Holy fucking shit is that an amazing album!
I already knew and loved "London Calling" and "Train in Vain", but hearing the album in full is like nothing I was expecting. Holy shit. I especially loved "Rudie Can't Fail", "Lost in the Supermarket", "Clampdown", "The Guns of Brixton", and "The Card Cheat" (for this last one I have to say: it doesn't matter if they're a punk band - I will always love piano in a rock song. ALWAYS. ...well, at least, given that it's played well).
#crystal visions of lilies in the valley#hello I'm dropping in with possibly a new obsession :)#I've been watching a few performances of my favorite Clash songs on YT over the past week or two at random#so finally today I was like 'okie-dokie I have never heard a Clash album in full. THE TIME IS NOW!' and oh my god. oh my god.#their debut album wasn't bad but WOOOOOOOOOOW they really exceeded expectations with London Calling (which I say ironically...#like as if a punk band started with any expectations beyond 'okay what have you got? you got three chords! all right.' lol)#I mean holy fuck I NEED to hear 'London Calling' on vinyl now oh my goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood#anyway I GET IT NOW. OH MY GOD I GET IT#(also just btw I listened to their debut album and 'London Calling' only. I was going to go in order but then realized I'd never even heard#of their second album and I was like...hmm...maybe that's for a reason...? lmao unless anyone wants to recommend it in the replies)

Was tagged by @oceancamp to post my current five favorite songs! (They should invent a stages-of-grief-esque model that encompasses and accurately describes both types of anguish I had to go through making this list - the one of limiting myself to only five songs, and the one of trying to put as little videogame music on here as possible so that I don't end up looking like an absolute goddamn geek, which... I am... Oh well!)
Thank you so much for tagging me - here are the songs!
Heaven Pierce Her - War Without Reason
Tatsuro Yamashita - Love Space
This specific arrangement of Death And Republic + Meet Again
Winger - Junkyard Dog (Tears On Stone)
The Protomen - Light Up The Night
Is it courtesy to tag other people after you've been tagged in a post like this? If that's the case, I'll tag @spiralled-fury, @solradguy, @swamppossum, @five-by-five, @northstarring, @ineedmoredragons and @tbonechessor!
#logs#ya don't have to participate if you don't want to‚ from what i've gathered - it's all just for fun anyway :]#The link to Yamashita's song is actually a link to a website that hosts city pop songs‚ since those keep getting taken down on YouTube due#to the strictness of Japan's copyright laws with regards to music. Uploads of Yamashita's songs in particular get taken down quite#frequently... The rest are either Bandcamp or YouTube (in case of Junkyard Dog) links#Very out-of-character of me not to put a Кино song on here‚ haha#I had a hard time deciding whether to put HOLD BACK THE NIGHT or Light Up The Night here‚ but ultimately decided on Light Up The Night#because... hoo boy#okay storytime. i've known of the protomen since somewhere around 2021. got The Good Doctor in my recommended feed‚ clicked on it because#i thought the album cover was cool + the title was appealing‚ but i never really listened to anything theirs beyond that song after that.#fast forward to 2022. be me‚ watching the greatest videoessay on planet earth (Steak Bentley's Metal Gear Solid 4 Was A Mistake).#the fucking MONTAGE comes on‚ and I fall in love with my second Protomen song. second fast forward to 2023 going into 2024‚ finally got#around to playing the Violence update. i learn of the name of level 7-2. the widest‚ most mischievous grin appears on my face.#i enter the level‚ proclaim ''ULTRAKlLL IS NOW A STEAK BENTLEY REFERENCE'' and blast the song as i get my ass beat by every single thing in#that level.#and let me tell you. getting mollywhopped ten thousand times by the FUCKING GUTTERTANK TRIO AT THE END OF THE LEVEL WAS. not a pleasant#experience. but the song made it better. :) (i played the level before the balance patch came out and uh let's just say i had more deaths on#that level than on 2gabe and 1gabe. SEVENTY-FOUR. FUCKING. RESTARTS. JESUS /CHRIST/.#goodness how i yearn to make a 3d animation of v1 going through 7-4 with that song in the background as a tribute to the man himself but#alas i am a student who has everything in the world but time#thanks for the tag again!! ^^

there's a certain vibe to quarantine music videos that i really can't unsee: the home-done greenscreen, how we got super into cartoon backgrounds for a while (we had no choice). wildflower is part of a generation and a community also containing things like keith urban's superman. these songs could all be part of one same visualisation MTVesque ABC Kids/CBeebies inspired playlist. it's such a mark of the times and I kind of love the art that came out of that era
#seriously how did i never listen to keith's album til now?#the speed of now#the speed of now part 1#keith urban#but then again i missed the release of calm too#so maybe i just lived under a rock in 2020 that's a mark of the times too#wildflower#official wildflower post#calm#5sos#5 seconds of summer

So listened to a couple of songs from a band called Man Man 4 to 5 years ago.
And at the time I was still a Christian fundamentalist so I was both terrified and guilty every time I did it (I was also like 15 maybe 16 years old)
And now well let's justr say
FUCK GOD AND ITS FUCKASS COMANDMENTS
THAT MOTHERFUCKER CAN GO DIE IN HAMMER EXPLOSION (not you matt) FOR ALL I CARE FOR I HAVE FOUND MINE NEW SPECIAL INTEREST AND SHALL BE PURSUING IT POST HASTE
ME AND THE DEVIL SHALL BE IN MINE BEDROOM VIBING AND COMMITING SEXUAL ACTS CONSENTUALLY AND THAT WRETCHED LITTLE SKY MAN WILL SIT AND WATCH BECAUSE IT CAN DO NOTHING TO STOP ME
Anyway that is to say I really like Man Man's music so far and if anyone tells me that they are all secretly terrible people I will cry and weep so please don't do that
thank you kindly
#Man Man#music#religios trauma#tw religion#uhhhh#dont know what to tag this#im going to listen to all of their albums in no particular order#autism engaged#new special interest just dropped#as i was writing this i watched a music video that mad me viscerally uncomfortable in the second hand embarrassment way but worry not i#shant be deterred#anyway now would be a good time to keep scrolling#toodles

breakups are so fucking weird. three years and just like that it's gone. huh
#helix.txt#gross i ended up spilling my guts in tags. look at them fucking writhing on the floor all bloody#dont rb please#vent#to quote fall out boy i knew it was over i just didn't know the date#yeah that's it. fall out boy can fix this.#i will feel better if i go listen to bang the doldrums#and infinity on high in general#and folie a deux. folie a fucking deux how i love that album#my chem will make me better. gerard way save me#god what a weird feeling. you used to know me better than any other person but then you moved hundreds of miles away and it worked#for a while. then two years later you said it wasnt working and that this was best for both of us. guess i never got the memo for that one#hope we treat other people better because i wasn't as kind as i should have been towards the end and you were never as thoughtful or con-#-siderate as i needed towards the end. we grew apart because you're bad at keeping contact over messaging#and in some ways the cracks in the foundation that grew from that were my fault too i guess. our conversations always felt one sided#maybe i was smothering you#you could never seem to keep more than a passing recollection of the things i liked or even pay much attention to them#but i wasn't great about that either#we just became different people. you weren't what i wanted or needed and you couldn't do long distance. whatever#i know it was the right thing i just wish it hadn't made me feel so damn awful#will we still talk after this? who knows. we didn't end on bad terms but things are definitely weird#and considering your track record with people you can only talk to online i'm not optimistic#you tried to break things off initially by saying you'd said you would improve in the past with nothing to show for it#something i didn't disagree with but i said it didn't bother me much. and it didn't#but it's complicated now. i did deserve better. but you made it clear i'm not getting it from you#you weren't as present or thoughtful as i needed#i wasn't there in person the way you needed and certainly not as considerate as i should have been. and for that second part i'm truly sorr#anyways. sorry. i'd been thinking about it for a long time anyway. i didn't want to admit it because i didn't like to think#about what it might bring. maybe i should have been braver#right. that's enough

there's a certain quality the harmonies of like... early to mid 2000s alt rock has. which i am obsessed with... like i wanna do that. i NEED to figure out how to write harmonies that sound like that
#ari opinion hour#i sort of understand it but not necessarily well enough to do it on command#i think i sort of achieved the sound of it with my blaseball winter exchange song i did for snow but specifically only in the very last bit#like only with the 'im not alive anymore' part#(which sidenote i wish id had the second half faster + w more drive but its not like that was like a full recording which i could do)#i think i just need my music to have more teeth in general cause it scratches an itch that i think i must have developed due to some aspect#of music school. its probably my dissatisfaction with the attitudes in the classical world#<- which understand i say that in the same way that like my jazz prof does. the classical world doesnt have enough teeth nor enough#understanding of the way in which music is like. another art. and art needs to be able to have teeth and use elements normally regarded as#''undesirable'' on purpose because art is there to make you feel emotions and not just the positive ones and not just sadness or anger in#terms of the negative ones#art is there to make u feel ALL extant emotions and that includes boredom disgust fear jealousy pity cowardice apathy overwhelmedness etc#also the classical world i find often forgets what the word ''play'' means#i am of the opinion that perfection is a waste of time if i wanted perfect i'd ask a computer to do it for me. i want real#anyway. i forgot what this post was even about lol point is i need to figure out how to write harmonies that have that soaring quality that#like. you can hear it in like helena by mcr and wake me up by evanescence and stuff. and frankly most of the songs on three cheers for swee#revenge which i am listening to now for the first time. i need to learn more about this stuff maybe ill listen to the evanescence album tha#song is from next.#or something i should really be working on my essay but theres no way i wont have it done in time which is good i think i just mostly have#to worry about sources and stuff but even that should be relatively easy i think

#my favorite on first listen#i need to go back through the whole thing again but 95% of the time the album does exactly what it should#in terms of sounding like a txt album and doing the kind of experimental stuff a minisode should do#as a whole i like it and the aesthetic better than the last album#however i think the killa shouldn't have made it to the album idc#literally two days ago people were saying a zionist was involved in producing it and now it's all yayyy ~sex~ song#like it sounds generic and it doesn't go with the plot of the album and soobin has literally talked before about being oversexualized...#...making him uncomfortable and everyone just ignores stuff like that bc everyone acts like the second you don't make a idol sexy the...#...second they 'turn legal' that they're 'grown ass men' you're infantilizing#like. idk how to explain to you how annoying it is just to define being an adult by having sex like it's not universal 😭#i don't even mean to say this in some kind of puritan censorship kind of way it's just annoying to view adulthood just as sex time?#especially in this situation this is his job 😭 he's at work 😭#and everyone being like but this song sounds gay 🥺 well a zionist produced it i'm so glad you have moral standards#it isn't inherently infantilizing to not talk about sex or to not have sex either that's such an annoying marker of adulthood#and this little prince concept is so unique and interesting just to toss in a generic ass song#like stick to what makes txt unique and stop trying to make broad appeal music#they took me out with all of the bad collaborations last year like just stooooppp#especially when you hear members say they only get to make music that's their own personal taste sometimes like let them have more voice!!!!#anyway 😭#music

what do i have to do to get Joanna Newsom fans to listen to Shabaka and his recent solo debut album Perceive Its Beauty, Acknowledge Its Grace. what do i have to sell who do i have to bribe pls brethren he is right there
#joanna newsom#ys#shabaka#shabaka hutchings#perceive its beauty acknowledge its grace#ok so. story time. first came across Shabaka while he was still in Sons of Kemet (aka before he retired from the sax for the#forseeable future) and absolutely f*cked with that sh*t. i mean F*CKED with it bc look. he's Bajan. he's cranking out some serious#Afro-Caribbean jazz during his time there the polyrhythms are f*cking on point etc etc#tucked that sh*t away in my Spotify library didn't think much of it. then i heard he was retiring from sax to focus on other instruments#and went '??????' bc yk. Shabaka. sax. kind of inseparable. he did it anyway for his mental health's sake and i'm proud of him#but then. THEN he dropped the first single off of this album on us back in February and i lost it. then he dropped the second#in March and the third in April with he and Moses Sumney i. good God just take me already nah#by the time it dropped on April 12 a day after the Sumney drop i was locked tf in. like it has been on rotation with some of my#other favorites since but anyway. only recently i realized while loading it up again that 'hey this sounds like something Joanna#would put out' and lo and behold. he says it right there that's exactly why it sounds like that brethren. pls. listen to the entire#thing for me pls. the last track called 'Song of the Motherland' features his father performing a spoken word piece and lives#inside my head rent free now. sorry. if this haunts me then it must haunt you too i don't make the rules

just listened to ttpd in its entirety (obviously including the anthology) for the second time and it is in fact an INCREDIBLE album. i will be listening to the albatross more often bc oh my god it is so good
#taylor swift#the tortured poets department#yes i said the second time lol#most fans have listened to it multiple times by now#but for me after i listen to it in order in its entirety for the first time i usually just listen to a select few of my faves for a while#i rarely listen to full albums more than once lol#esp with taylor#ANYWAY ttpd is so fucking good#sarah talks#also like the only reason i even listened to it a second time in order in its entirety is bc i went on a road trip w my family#(it was like an hourish drive lol idk if it can be classified as a road trip but im personally counting it as such lol)

disclaimer: i actually quite like a lot of jc's music. ok here's four hateposts:
no one does middle class inspirational brostep like jacob collier
jacob collier slated to release album titled 'twelve more attempts at a globally recognised humanist anthem'
jacob collier invented Hopestep in 2019 and we're still feeling the consequences
calling a piece of art Saccharine and Mastubatory to indicate that. i am not enjoying it.
#i listened to Djesse 4 for the second time to see if it was any better on second listen#not. but im proud of him a bit anyway. now he has finished his 4 album thing he can maybe make something weird again#jacob collier

i somehow already know all the lyrics to the ttpd anthology. this is probably due to my brain absorbing taylor swift lyrics like a sponge.
#tate.txt#taylor swift#i don't know how this happened. i'm just now listening to the album for the second time.

so i’ve made it clear in the past that i think 1989 is seblaine’s album, but also, part of that is because it has sad breakup songs that match their story and like ignoring the fact 1989 came out in 2014, i’m just thinking about them transitioning from saying “it’s our album except the sad songs those don’t match us” to realizing that yeah the sad songs do match them now
#glee#seblaine#blaine anderson#sebastian smythe#and also realizing that the happy songs don’t fit them anymore because they’re no longer friends#do they listen to i wish you would and all you had to do was stay and feel pain#do they listen to the second verse of wonderland and think oh now it makes sense#do they listen to how you get the girl and wish it could be them#this can apply to other music (such as albums of taylor swift that were actually out at the time)#how many other songs have been ruined for them#how many songs do they fit now

My favorite rabbit holes to fall down start with my favorite band and lead me to my other favorite bands, as well as, of course, exposing me to new-to-me artists and bands. The cool thing about this is that IT ALWAYS HAPPENS in the way(s) I least expect. :')
#crystal visions of lilies in the valley#I think I was looking up Feargal Sharkey (connection to my favorite band: Benmont Tench wrote his second ever solo hit)#and then discovered that Shelly Yakus (who of course engineered my favorite album of all-time) mixed Feargal's album#so then I was like 'hmm...I wonder who else's albums Shelly engineered/mixed' only to find that#he engineered and/or mixed some of Big Country's live singles and stuff!!!! AND NOW I GET TO LISTEN TO THEM. :'D#I also found out that Shelly engineered two of this woman slide guitarist's albums who I've never heard of before?!#so now I also get to discover a new-to-me artist whose work I hope I like! (her name is Ellen McIlwaine btw)
