Please talk a bit about what kind of music you like. Favorite genres, bands, artists? Do you play any instruments?
oh lord this is the rabbit hole. alright. I'm not good at music unless you count belting house of the rising sun in the shower and never learned to read it or play an instrument. But in general I like indie/alt rock (whatever the fuck that means), usually with an electronic/psychedelic rock influence. definitely have some favorite tracks that don't fit that at all (looking at you kesha singles) but my faves all fall in there somewhere.
my favorite bands/artists rn in order of how long they've been favorites are jack white, phantogram, and red vox. I've been in love with jack and garage rock since I was little and listened to white stripes and black keys albums on repeat... i got special permission from my parents to use our iPad and stream a jack white concert on spotify late at night when I was young... watched him launch his stupid amazing record player into space during a 3 hour car ride... I love this man ok. His new shit is so weird and it's great listen to lazaretto and boarding house reach esp ice station zebra and lazaretto
phantogram is a somewhat newer obsession, I got to see them in concert this summer which was amazing. I've liked them for a couple years now. really amazing duo, super cool electronic rock sound with some pop elements. I hold their older stuff close to my heart and the new singles out are fantastic too and I'm super excited to see what they do next. ik some older fans don't love the new sound but like. idk. I think esp considering what they've been through recently the shift makes sense and I really like it tbh. just compare the feel of eyelid movies to three (particularly answer) to into happiness. you can feel it. anyways huge fave and they always seem to come out with something new exactly when I need it. I'd check out when I'm small, mister impossible, fall in love, or any of the three A-sides (esp same old blues and you don't get me high anymore) if you're interested.
I got into red vox over the summer. I've watched vinny stream for a really long time and always meant to look into his music and. Well. Finally did. I listened to into the garden and then all of their first album and then all of everything. I like a lot of the bands that influence him, I grew up on classic rock and like some of the newer stuff like tame impala. hes also just a super cool guy lmao. Good intro tracks would probably be into the garden, atom bomb, job in the city, cemetery window, and back to school.
some other bands I really like but don't know as much about are joywave (electronic/indie rock, try facility, travelling at the speed of light, destruction, or anything off content), son lux (wikipedia says they're considered experimental lmao. They sound like the most amazing movie/TV show soundtrack you've ever heard. really interesting mix of instruments, vocals are beautiful and almost feel hymnlike at times. read about and try remedy and you'll see what I mean), sir sly (rock, psychedelic, they do some cool things with sampling. try basically anything off don't you worry honey, gold, or too far gone)
notable mentions include idk how, LCD soundsystem, the neighbourhood, the strokes, elo, the mountain goats, lorde, and yeah yeah yeahs
#long post#im so sorry this is so long#about#you asked one of my favorite questions#all i can talk about is alt music or films. thats what i know.

Kick iiii by Arca (my live listen/react)
I already know going into the album it is way way way more ambient and instrumental hefty. I am completely okay with that as I listen to a lot of classical and deep techno that sounds like you're sitting in the den at a rave.
So here we go.
👯♀️💃🕺👯♂️
Whoresong: I love all of the vocal filters she has at her disposal, but when I logged onto the first stream with her sis was talking through the filter for a solid 15 and I though I was going insane. But that being said I love it more in her music than when she's talking about her cat. I love that simple piano progression/sample in the background. I could see it being used in like a hiphop song. Ooo the zapper effect on the audio and voice at the end is great. The lyrics kinda empowering kinda sad.
Esuna: take me on a fairy train ride.
Xenomorphgirl: Queen mother, the alien one, would probably love this. Very ethereal and light, her pitched vocals with the slight glitch how how good.
Queer: A great Segway from xenomorphgirl and a fitting single for this project. Which so far there's only been one single for this project and thats probably deliberate. Closing my eyes and vibing to this one, "Tears of shower in the night time, like magic."
Witch: I love this No Bra's voice and the way it works so well with the piano even before it starts to go through post vocal filters.
Hija: 😍😍😍 slow and not dark but also not light in terms of emotion. Or maybe its just a mix of both of those emotions. I want to sit at a bench in front of a very green turf where you can see mountains or a highway in the distance and listen to this song and contemplate. Maybe just maybe I want to film something that looks like that with this song playing in the background. The one note being sung in the background adding another layer is brava. I can't understand the words being said so ill have to look up the lyrics later but the way they sound is so good for the music it adds a tinge of haunt (Spanish and distortion takes my basic Spanish skills and tosses them.) It's too fucking short or more so it goes by too quickly, I want more.
Boquifloja: 90s-00s grunge mixed with some Mazzy Star vocal runs. Arca said don't yall limit me I can produce whatever genre I want to....omg can her and Kid Cudi make a track together. Her run libs and his hums making up a beat together, please. 🙏🧎♂️ ugh her laugh after stopping playing the piano, yea girl.
Alien inside: my ears are ascending to a God tier level. WAIT GARBAGE SHIRLEY MANSON, yessss this makes sense bring in the rock influences.
Altar: Anyone who doesn't like this album would hate James Blake and to that I say, their loss. This song gives me heavy "I never learnt to share" vibes. James and Arca would be another bomb ass collab because they both make music from different spaces literally and still sound so full. Arca really is flexing her production versatility with all of these kicks and its highly appreciated. Too often an artist is placed in a box unallowing them to grow and it can be from a label and from fans. These projects in this anthology show she can do so much more than electronic alt pop or electronic hiphop. She refuses to downplay that range, her queerness, her transness, her "vulgarity", for anyone not even her fans even though she's curious what we think.
Lost Woman Found: This makes me feels things like "is it cold in the water" makes me feels things. Its distorted like you're listening to it and passing through a mountain tunnel so it drops in one ear at moments and comes back slightly distorted. There's audio thats in one ear and not the other and some thats in both but it isn't overwhelming. These effects layered with a robust droning sound that travels in both ears and around just makes it so so full. But, it doesn't loose the ethereal sound that has been throughout the project so far. There's also a heartbeat snuck into the beat as well. So much emotion in the words "I'm looking for a miracle to cast down my fears." The lyrics are so good even though there aren't many they last the entire song. Its seeing yourself for who you really are like a euphoric way and telling others they can too achieve this feeling of self ascending/discovery.
Paw: I've heard this is really good but I'm trying to go into it without expectations. The lyrics are good but halfway through that rolling effect with a delay on the production is 😭👏🏾. Someone put me on a raft in the middle of a big ass pool and let me just listen to this song. 2nd half of the song just vibrates and stays in your ears.
Wow.
My favorites from this project are : lost woman found, hija, boquifloja, and alien inside.
Um my ranking of kicks so far (still have to listen to 5):
Kick iii, kick iiii, kick ii, kick i
And this in no ways means they aren't all great, I saw someone say each album just appeals to a different style that each of listeners in general, her fans, and herself really loves to hear. And that was really smart, also dropping all 4 to finish up the series/anthology is so smart. Its a lot like her releasing @@@@@ all together like one long dj set instead of singles or sections, but in a different format. This KicK project also feels a lot more put together in terms of a concept like @@@@@ is great for long time fans its not something to just jump into, but these projects new fans and random people can kind of find a volume and flip through it to find something they absolutely love or hate. There's also love letters to her communities in the music she makes. Whether that is making a classic reggaeton song in her own style or a song she's very explicitly said in a Twitter or IG post, is for trans feminine people or queer people.

do you have any hcs for the characters in your college au’s interests in the sense of tv/movies/music? i’d love to hear them
YES!!!
JJ
she doesn’t have that much free time to really focus on things that aren’t soccer and school but she does have some favourites
as for music it’s stuff that can get her hyped up for running. she loves blasting music when she works out
“what? I rock.” is probably my favourite quote so I think she definitely listens to some classic rock that her parents played when she was a kid. she likes pop, anything with high energy. she was also not afraid to admit that she likes taylor swift
she cried the first time she heard hozier’s take me to church. she did not know why
as a kid JJ read every single book about horses. you know the ones about the young girl taming the wild horse and saving the barn? that story over and over again. she had the plot of black beauty memorized. its canon that jj was a horse girl and im certain she was that type of horse girl
Ros loved movies and JJ has fond memories of movie nights with her whole family. when her parents start to fight, and Ros retreats into herself, they stop. JJ claims she doesn’t have time to watch movies after that, she gets antsy as she watches them, feeling as though she should be doing something productive. she did see Twilight in the theatres with her soccer team on opening night but thats different
when she needs to escape, she watches comedies anything that she can do work while watching. she’ll work on her homework at the same time and she’ll just watch anything that requires minimal focus like parks and rec or the good place. she likes to keep it light and avoid material that could be triggering for her.
she gets stuck rewatching her comfort shows and movies over an over bc of the anxiety
she also does develop an interest in cheesy old horror movies with a bunch of jump scares because she likes the adrenaline rush, she laughs at Emily when she hides under the blankets when JJ puts them on
JJ also obviously watches sports when she can. she was always the tomboy of the family and she and her dad would watch it together. she and derek watch the game on the tv in their residences common room
Emily
as our fav big tiddy goth gf, we know Emily had a huge emo phase. I think it happened after she left Rome, and it was all encompassing. her music was angry, loud and she played it on her speaker system until her mom threw it out, then she resigned to play it in her headphones loud enough to give her tinnitus
once she shifted from her goth phase into being definitively alt, she didn’t let go of all of those songs, but shifted into listening to some music with queer undertones. we’re talking passion pit, mother mother, and of course: girl in red. probably some other like niche artists in multiple other languages as well. she loved italian music when she was there and WILL sing along to cheesy french pop music as well
we know emily is a big reader, and i think she has definitely trudged through all the classics like jules verne and jane austin before trying out some more contemporary works. unfortunately, since she moved around so often, she spent a lot of time at the library. her mom said that she wasnt allowed too have more than one box to pack her books in, so Emily has weaned her collection own to the essentials that she’s read over and over
she is a sucker for tv adaptations of the books shes read. she thinks it works better than 2 hour films because she likes how faithful they can be to the source material
most importantly: she is a nerd. she LOVES the x files and buffy the vampire slayer and firefly, all the 90s tv that she watched as re-runs growing up. sci-fi, dystopian, speculative fiction even some fantasy she eats it all up
she also is a sucker for documentaries that she watches to clear her mind or go to sleep. it’s one of the things that got her into studying criminology! she loved documentaries on murder investigations
#gravelyhumerus cm college au#answered#im trying to project a little less#so ive included tv that i havent watched aka emilys 90s shows#i was tempted to say emily would love star trek but i restrained myself#long post

I love your playlist thingy and if you want I had this idea: bob ships and their favorite sex song/s? I've had this discussion (fight let's be real) with me mates "what's the saddest, happiest, most sexy, motivating song etc" and we all agreed with sexy on "Do I wanna know?" by Arctic Monkeys, mostly because that's the only one we could think of.
first and foremost “me mates” makes me think you’re a local and if you are then NICE but also even if not then still nice cause!! you’re so sweet and this ask is a really cool idea omg!
secondly, i personally would disagree on you with the AM choice but only because! of my complicated AM feelings. i think if i had to pick some sexy songs they’d probably be:
hey - pixies
hit me like that snare - alt-J
indie rokkers - mgmt (which unfortunately! i can never find anywhere else but youtube it’s devastating honestly)
(it goes without saying maybe but all of those songs are kind of nsfw, ESPECIALLY the alt-J one holy shit so like!! yknow! tread carefully and all that)
also! as for the songs thing! im gonna stick a handful under a readmore as well as a lil explanation about my stance on nsfw content!! because it’s something i havent rly talked about but think maybe i should, ya feel??
OKAY so let’s just get the stance thing out of the way- ive been thinking about this long and hard (badum tss) and like, i don’t really post nsfw things and i think im going to keep it that way for the most part, just cause of a bunch of complicated personal shit and also!! cause i know i have a couple of younger followers and things like that
having said that, i don’t dislike it by any means and def still have a bunch of nsfw headcanons and smutty ideas, and so since this one isn’t particularly graphic (like at all lmao, and tbh im probably just being a bit of a worrywart and rambling to cover my ass from whatever imaginary trouble i could see myself somehow accidentally getting into, but that’s nothing new with me), it’s something i wanna have a go at!!
SO with all that in mind, here are a bunch of ships in no particular order and songs that they’d definitely bang to:
Speirs/Web: Deadcrush - alt-J (this could have gone to babejulian but that felt cruel) (also! i think it fits them- it’s the alt-J of web with the darker vibes of speirs)
Grant/Speirs: Sacrilege - Yeah Yeah Yeahs (i actually! have some writing involving this in my notes that i have to finish off soon!!)e
Webgott: Rich - Yeah Yeah Yeahs (there are others that definitely would fit them though!! for sure) (but this ties with my loud Lieb headcanons) (his MUSIC i mean gosh what else were YOU thinking this is a good and wholesome blog)
Luztoye: Reptilia - The Strokes (quietly in the background; they’ve hit shuffle on the Toye list) (they chat more than they listen to music!! at least thats what i think)
Winnix: Your Precious Love - Otis Redding (bunch of fucking sappy dads) (probably slow danced their way to bed)
Speirs/Roe: Come As You Are - Nirvana (i THINK but this is def up for debate) (cause it could also be To Bring You My Love by PJ Harvey)
Baberoe: Best Friend - Foster The People (but ALSO The Sound of Silence which seems like an odd choice i know but!! i have some writing to go with this too that i need to get around to posting but anyways the bit where the drum kicks in is good shit)
Babe/Julian: Where Is My Mind? - Pixies (specifically!! like as in this scene from Mr Nobody WHICH IS SUCH A GOOD FILM I HAVE TO WATCH IT AGAIN SOON) (oh ye nsfw warning for that clip!! not too intense but you DO see a boob)
Speirton: Personal Jesus - Depeche Mode (questioning this one maybe so id be up for suggestions) (this OR atomic by blondie perhaps?)
Roe/Toye: 1979 - The Smashing Pumpkins (was very nearly Love Will Tear Us Apart but that felt almost too mean like i have to give them some happines sometimes okay)
Gene/Renee: House Of The Rising Sun - alt-J (it’s perhaps difficult to make the connection here but! focus more on the sound of the music than the lyrics; the gentle rise and fall. it’s not soft, but it’s not crazy wild either, it’s gentle but firm and it’s full of feeling which would totally be the case okay)
that’s!! all the ones i can think of right in this moment but! if there are any other ships you’d want them for OR you want another song they might listen to OR you want to offer your own tracks then!! by all means send me an ask cause i love doing music things like this!!
hope i got the vibes right! much love
#asks#unless youre so local that i know you irl in which case yikes#JUST KIDDING thatd also be pretty neat but id also be like oh god you have seen SOME stuff ya feel#sweet mysterious anon#this was!! pretty cool actually omg thank you! id never given it much thought#webgott is tricky because theres sooo much music for them like its rare that i here a song and dont think oooh... webgott#my headcanons#BoB
