#THANK U TRAVIS FOR MY L I F E

[danses-with-dogmeat]

2000 Followers Celebration!!!

& Fallout Alphabet Poll End Results!

Hey all, so the secret is out! (Kinda) But all these past polls have been the prelude to my 2K Followers Celebration BONANZA. (That's not the official title, I just wanted to use the word BONANZA).

Anyway, a HUGE, MASSIVE thank you to every single one of you folks who are a part of this little community and who've supported me and my fanfiction writing journey for the past few years (which is crazy that it's been that long, omg.) But I love and appreciate you all SO MUCH and am absolutely baffled that I've made it to this. I thought 100 was crazy, then I thought 1K was crazy and then it just kept on going! Ahh, I'm just so so so glad that there's a thriving Fallout community out here of amazing writers, artists, and fans that are still so involved 😊

I don't know what I would do without this space, so thank you all for being a part of it <3

ANYWAY (x2) Here are the final results to all 22 polls that I posted, with more event details just below!

So I've posted the 1st place winners, 2nd place, and then a 3rd "runner up" position that will only be filled by non-companion npcs, just to give them a chance to shine, and me a chance to write for some folks I'm not as used to. For the purposes of the 2k event, I will only be using the 1st place winners for the 'prompts' (which I'll explain in another post), and then a few of the 2nd placers and (almost) all of the runner ups will be used in ANOTHER upcoming event that I'm going to start prepping for (because I'm an insane person).

Akward Class Favorites Playlist 2021

Every time I think I’ve made the longest end of the year playlist, I prove myself wrong the following year. This year we’re rocking 102 songs, but hey this playlist is a whole minute shorter than last year’s mix so it has that going for it.

BRUH! We made it to the end of another mountain of a year. I’m hella proud us for literally surviving whatever this was/is. Like I said at the end of 2020, let’s continue to take each day as it comes and each track by track. I can’t say if there’s a light at the end of this tunnel, but I want to keep doing as much as I possibly can to find out. I wish all of you immense amounts of joy and care as we step into whatever comes next.

Also thank y’all for being around with me for another year here on The Akward Blog. These are my memories, feelings and stories, however I kinda like sharing them with the world or at least this chill piece of the internet. All I’m really saying is that I kinda like it here.

.

.

Notes:

This is not a strictly 2021 playlist, but the 2021 songs will be clearly marked.

There is a story or flow that I tried to create once again, but you do not need to know any of that to follow along with the playlist. You can listen in order, shuffle, pick and choose, do whatever you want.

That being said if you’re following along from the beginning, the anecdotes that follow many of the songs aren’t really apart of that story, they’re just extra pieces of information.

Also when I’m collecting YouTube links for these songs, I’ll often find a live or alternate version that I really like and will share that instead, or in addition to the original/studio version. I will note when I do this, however the full Spotify playlist will have the “correct” version.

Key:

⭐️ = Songs that came out specifically in 2021.

✊🏾 = Songs by/featuring Black Artists.

_______________________________________________________________________

✊🏾 t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l ft. Travis Barker - WILLOW

⭐️ Racist, Sexist Boy - The Linda Lindas

As a library kid/adult, the fact that this was preformed in a library is everything to me.

 ✊🏾 Words I Never Said ft. Skylar Grey - Lupe Fiasco

Y’all know why this song had a resurgence.

Mars For The Rich - King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

A coworker recommended this band to me and although this is one of their heavier songs, their name does not really fit the general sound. Cool dudes though.

The link is to a live version, but Spotify has the studio version.

⭐️✊🏾 Rainforest - Noname

⭐️✊🏾 Up (Radio Edit) - Cardi B

Is this an actual guilty pleasure?

✊🏾 Bannana ft. Shaggy - Conkarah and DJ Fle

You can’t tell me that you didn’t instinctively wine your hips to this song.

All In My Head - Vaines

Like most people, I’m in love with that guitar. 

⭐️ Hide and Seek - Catie Turner

NVM - Simple Creatures

✊🏾 Gender Neutral Happy Meal ft. Belmont and Safehold - Aim High

Just more Black people in the Pop-Punk/Alt scene! I’m so here for it!

✊🏾 All About You - Leon Bridges and Lucky Daye

⭐️ Score To Settle - Pollux King

I’m so vain I think the world revolves around me. Not really, but I have a tendency to misread some situations that weren’t really that deep. Sorry I’m being vague for a reason, but hey if you’re curious and we’re close friends you can probably ask for the story.

Jersey - Mayday Parade 

✊🏾 divers license (Cover) - jxdn

I promise I don’t follow this dude on TikTok, don’t know anything about him, just happened to find this one cover he did when all of that “drama” was going down and I was listening to every version of it under the sun.

Someone also did a mashup of this cover and the original, which is also really good.

⭐️ Skin - Sabrina Carpenter

Spotify said this was my most listened to track of the year. I was not on TikTok at the time, I just loved the internet commentary surrounding it and the rest of the songs that where involved in all, whatever that was. It was a fun moment this year.

⭐️ ex i never had - LANY

Apparently everybody had a side to tell this year.

✊🏾 Mood (Remix) ft. Justin Beiber, J Balvin and Ian Dior - 24KGoldn

If You Were Me - VOILÀ

⭐️ All Your Exes - Julia Michaels 

June Bug - Chase Huglin

Water Under The Bridge (Cover) - The Lone Bellow 

I’m sorry for not knowing that this was a cover, but to be fair Spotify tricks me a lot with these sorts of things.

Come Around ft. Christian French - Hoddie Allen 

⭐️ rlly dont like u >:( ft. Patrick Gilchrist of Not My Weekend- Arkaeo

I love that Plain White Tee’s moment, just sayin.

She Says - Unwritten Law

I can’t be the first or only one to think this, but don’t they sound like the Madden Brothers from Good Charlotte?

✊🏾 Sumlikeafreestyelove ft. Richie Fontane - Kwudi

You have to stay til the end, I find the sketch hilarious! However if you find yourself in that particular situation, block buttons exist.

Too Much - Hot Chelle Rae

✊🏾 Please Don’t Fall In Love - VINCINT

This song is EVERYTHING and one that I love to belt. Give VINCINT all of his flowers, cause he is just so talented!

Deep Blue Love - Patrick Stump

This man has so much range and I highly suggest you check out his solo stuff cause you’re missing out if you only listen to modern Fall Out Boy.

Thinkin ‘Bout Love (Acoustic) - Wild Rivers

Another belter for me in my bedroom or kitchen or wherever. I listened to both the acoustic and original a ton, just went with acoustic version for this list, please listen to both!

⭐️ Elevated (Lo-Fi)  - Mik and State Champs

Who doesn’t need Lo-Fi Pop-Punk in their life?!

Giants (Guitar Version) - Dermont Kennedy 

Same Drugs ft. Patrick Stump (Cover) - Matt Nathanson

I once again apologize for not knowing this was a cover, however this combo is so good! I love me some Matt Nathason and Patrick Stump is just killin it for me right now.

⭐️ CHICKEN TENDIES - Clinton Kane

Always Leaving - Mayday Parade

⭐️ Amsterdam - Wild Rivers

⭐️ Blessings - Lyfe Jennings

I’m Sorry - Mokita and Stand Atlantic

The Permanent Rain - The Dangerous Summer

Lost - Dermont Kennedy

Y’all need this man’s voice in your life.

If It Makes You Happy - Michael Cera Palin

⭐️  Used To Be ft. Rob Thomas (Acoustic) - Steve Aoki, Kiiara, Rob Thomas

⭐️ All My Favorite Songs ft. AJR - Weezer

Happy (Or Whatever) - Taylor Leonhardt

✊🏾 New Apartment - Ari Lennox

Will hoard this song in my memory for the day I get my own apartment.

Sober - FIDLAR

Guys just want to be princesses too!

Go Easy - Matt Maeson

⭐️✊🏾 Bigger Man ft. Maren Morris - Joy Oladokun 

⭐️ More Like You - Orla Gartland

⭐️ What Other People Say (Stripped) - Sam Fischer and Demi Lovato

⭐️ Happy Endings ft. Ian Dior and UPSAHL - Mike Shinoda

Monster - Shawn Mendes and Justin Bieber

⭐️ Trigger - Hayley Williams

Hallucinogenics - Matt Maeson

Cringe (Stripped) - Matt Maeson

Yet another guttural song choice for me. I can’t sing, but I love to sing and I sing this one a lot.

Maybe Don’t ft. JP Saxe - Maisie Peters

Waterfall ft. Derek DiScanio - Last Night Saved My Life

Tread On Me (Stripped) - Matt Maeson

For clarification, I’m not one of those people lol.

Scars (2020 En Español) - Papa Roach

I don’t know how to really sing this version, I just know what part they’re on because I love the English version. This is still cool though.

⭐️✊🏾 Garden (Acoustic) - Meet Me @ The Altar 

Outnumbered - Dermot Kennedy

⭐️✊🏾 If You Got A Problem - Joy Oladokun

If You’re Tired - Connor Duermit and Ray Dalton 

Ever The Same - Rob Thomas

Older Rob Thomas always seems to find  a way to make himself relevant in my musical life, like this song is from 2005!

⭐️ Don’t Lose Hope - Cochren & Co.

Bad To Myself - Greyson Chance

Yes, that is that Greyson Chance and he’s far better than you remember.

Beggar’s Song - Matt Maeson

Good Morning - Alex Aiono

Second Wind - Kelly Clarkson

Maren Morris wrote this song, however I can’t tell if this is a cover or not cause they both sing it... It’s both their song lol.

Connect The Dots - Gestalt

Bummbed that I didn’t get to see them live in person this year, but mark my words lol I will see them live again.

⭐️ Julianna Calm Down - The Chicks

⭐️ Momma Always Told Me ft. Stanaj and Yung Bae - Mike Posner

Hallelujah - The Icarus Account

⭐️ Cover Me In Sunshine ft. Willow Sage Hart - P!NK

⭐️ The Light - We The Kings

⭐️✊🏾 Jordan - Joy Oladokun 

✊🏾 N*ggas Can Be Gay Too - YVES 

Truly a bop.

Also to note, I only censored the n-word cause I don’t know how the people at Tumblr react to that sort of thing, not cause I actually thought it should be censored.

⭐️ Molecules ft. Sherri DuPree Bemis - The Spill Canvas

⭐️ Glad You Exist (Acoustic) - Dan + Shay

Another song where I listened both the acoustic and original, but chose the acoustic for this playlist. Please listen to both.

⭐️ When Love Takes Hold - Sister Hazel 

I’m so geeked about new Sister Hazel finding their way into my life and good Sister Hazel at that.

Girl Of The Year - FM Static

⭐️ Angel Baby - Troye Sivan

Troye Sivan knows what aesthetically sexy means, that video is so good!

⭐️ I Wanna Love You (Lo-Fi) - Mik, Just Friends

On My Mind - Noah Floersch

⭐️ a million pretty pieces -  Nightly and Fleurie

Such a lovely song.

CVS - Winnetka Bowling League

Your Body (Acoustic) - Plain White T’s

Found this song one day while on hold, I think with Apple, and I can’t tell you how good it is enough. It’s not “call waiting” music, it’s just good music! Adding this the list of casually sexy music.

Please also check out the original!

✊🏾 ON MY WAY - CHIKA 

SO SMOOTH! This is your new smooth love jam. You’re welcome.

⭐️ Good Problems ft. Thomas “Tawgs” Salter (Remix) - Scott Helman

✊🏾 I Try - Macy Gray 

⭐️ Slow Dancing - Aly & AJ

For the Good Trouble fans out there, peep the cameo in the video.

Favorite T-Shirt - Jake Scott

Young And In Love - Ingrid Michaelson

Paper - With Confidence

Sooner Or Later - Michael Tolcher

✊🏾 Stupidfreak - Juice

This song is so nice.

The video link is to a really good live version, but the Spotify playlist will feature the studio version.

✊🏾 Radio-Active - DE’WAYNE 

⭐️ Things I’ve Learned - Orla Gartland

Sunnyland - Mayday Parade

This feels like a grownup talking about their days at the Sandlot, so I call this my Sandlot song.

✊🏾 Time After Time (Cover) - Jeremy Pope 

⭐️ Best Thing Ever - Johnnyswim

⭐️✊🏾 The Best Part - Eric Hutchinson 

Congratulations to all of my friends in real life and on the internet having babies, I’m so excited and wish I could shower all of you with all the love and baby shoes!

Eric Hutchinson is for sure white lol, however his band has like 3 Black Jazz musicians in it and they’re all on the album cover, so they deserve recognition too. THE INSTRUMENTS IN THIS SONG! Especially during the chorus!

Apparently this song was released like 2 years ago, however it was re-released as a single this year for the release of his latest album, so I felt like it still counted as a 2021 song.

Album Review: 'lately I feel EVERYTHING' - WILLOW

When WILLOW feels, she feels hard. And lately, she’s been feeling EVERYTHING...

Although pop punk is currently experiencing a renaissance of sorts, 20-year-old Willow Smith is no bandwagon jumper, her love of the genre able to be traced back to her school days, where she was bullied for being a fan of Paramore and My Chemical Romance, as well as watching her mother, actress Jada Pinkett-Smith perform with nu-metal band, Wicked Wisdom.

First single ‘t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l’ might sound like an early-era Paramore clone, but it’s a damn fine one, brimming with urgency thanks to Travis Barker’s drumwork as Smith snarls ‘I knew a boy just like you/He’s a snake just like you/Such a fake just like you/But I can see the truth.’ ‘F*CK YOU’ also gets straight to the point, screaming as a drum kit in the receives a beating it won’t soon forget: ‘Fuck you for fucking up my heart/Don’t you ever get involved with me again/Fuck you for getting in my town/Get the fuck out and don’t come back around.’

On ‘Gaslight,’ things get complicated (‘I like you/You like me/That's why I'm confused, I can't read the signs/So why you gotta treat me like this’), turning crippling insecurity into a dizzying thrill ride. ‘don’t SAVE ME’ offers up a sluggish, blistering groove, culminating in a thrashing, blues-tinged outro. ‘naive’ marks a harrowing coming of age for Smith, her vocals soaring atop rolling, gloomy atmospheres as remembers a phone call from friends asking her to pick them up after being sprayed with rubber bullets at BLM march in the Bronx. ‘Come Home’ (featuring Ayla Tesler-Mabe of Canadian band Calpurnia) is a haunting glam rock waltz that showcases the best of Smith’s vocals, able to stretch them from a dreamy trill to a dazzling wail as she hopelessly yearns from afar.

‘¡BREAKOUT!’ (featuring Cherry Glazerr’s Clementine Creevy) channels the vicious yet playful swagger of 90s riot grrl as Smith eschews human contact in favour of plant life, boasting ‘I don’t fuckin care what you thought of/I can give life to the slaughtered/I can set fire to the water/I can change the world’ in a callback to her earlier, more spiritually-inclined lyrics. She warns on the brooding ‘XTRA’ to ‘Miss me with the fake apologies, you’re being extra’ as rapper Tierra Whack effortlessly glides across a smoky sprawl of sound.

‘GROW,’ meanwhile, links Smith up with on her idols, Avril Lavigne, for a spunky empowerment anthem reminiscent of Infinity on High-era Fall Out Boy. It’s also the kind of technicolour pop punk that wouldn’t have looked out of place on Meet Me @ The Altar’s recent Model Citizen EP. Seriously, if a duet isn’t on the cards in the future...

Short, sharp and loud, lately I feel EVERYTHING is a solid album despite a few missteps (‘Lipstick’ feels ill-fitting and kills momentum, as does ‘Come Home,’ as heartfelt as it is).

Contributions from the likes of Barker, Lavigne and Creevy help strengthen Smith’s rock bona fides, along with some occasionally brilliant lyrical turns and an impressive rasp that would make Hayley Williams proud. And goddamn, is the youthful angst so painfully on point. With massive choruses and blazing riffs, songs like ‘t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l’ and ‘Gaslight’ are perfect to scream along to while in the midst of your first real heartbreak.

At the same time, however, Pitchfork do bring up a good point in their own review of lately I feel EVERYTHING: While Smith helps raise the profile of women of colour in rock and pop punk, she neglects to mention others currently making their mark on the scene like Meet Me @ The Altar, Pinkshift, Frames, Beabadoobee, Pleasure Venom, Nova Twins, Big Joanie and Skinny Girl Diet, without the help of TikTok infamy or famous parents.

How many times do I have to say it: Rock never died; you just weren’t paying attention. Like a lot of Gen Z, they think they invented it first (C’mon, you guys get to make sweeping generalisations about Boomers and Millennials all the time, let me have this...)

Nonetheless, lately I feel EVERYTHING is the throwback emo we deserve, a record that’s not watered down or just a pastiche, but actually feels like it’s straight out of the 2000s. By approaching the album with the same boldness and willingness to take risks as she has with previous projects, WILLOW has managed to create something that’s fun, playful and honest.
