ranking matt maltese albums(and ep’s) bc i want to!

7: quiet recordings

i love this ep. it’s vibe is amazing and i love matt’s more acoustic recordings, but compared to the other ones, something had to take the bottom place

6: madhouse

i enjoy this ep, but i don’t listen to it a lot. queen bee is really really good and is the only reason it’s ahead of quiet recordings.

5: vacant in the 21st century

I KNOW THIS JS NOT ANYTTHING, but it’s so good. the only reason it’s so low is because it’s technically a single, just having 2 songs. both of which are some of my favorite songs by matt. i love his fuller songs and strange time and vacant in the 21st century live up to that full feeling.

4: krystal

krystal is probably my least favorite of the albums. it’s really beautiful and i love the more indie pop bedroom pop vibe in the album. there’s also a lot of cuter songs in this album, but i adore his other ones a little more than krystal. not to say that krystal is a bad album. hell no, it’s got bangers like when you wash your hair, krystal, Jupiter, and wish you’d ask me. it’s so good but there’s others i like more.

3: in a new bed

this ep doesn’t have a single song that i don’t listen to on the daily. it’s so good and i love the acoustics. god this is such a good ep. in a new bed has to be my favorite, it’s been on repeat for weeks. not much to say because it’s one of his earlier music so there’s not much to it.

2: good morning it’s now tomorrow

this has we need to talk. it has mystery. it’s just so good. i love the MV’s and it’s so well rounded. i love the album cover, it’s my favorite in all the albums. the vibe is so beautiful and i just sotra feel like im on cloud 9 when i listen to it.

1: bad contestant

mortals, as the world caves in, less and less, strange time, greatest comedian, misery, like a fish, sweet 16, bad contestant. this album has all of those songs in it. all the music videos are wonder and this is my favorite era is matt so far. the acoustics are heavenly and this is the album that introduced me to him. it’s also his saddest, with less and less. less and less is so well rounded and beautiful. it captures that yearning feeling of a breakup and healing from it so so well. when i ended things my ex, that song was on repeat. then it’s got greatest comedian. it’s fullness sets it apart from other songs on it. the album has like3 different genres and they’re all done so beautifully. i will never recover from this album.

My September 2024 election reminder: ideological purity will not win you anything.

I see people on the left saying that they can't possibly vote for Harris because she's too pro-Israel, because she's too far to the right on immigration, because she's too far to the right on criminal justice, because she was a cop (she wasn't), because you think this policy or that policy is too conservative.

Not voting for her only increases the chances that we get a president who is even further to the right.

Those are our two choices. Like it or not, support the American political system or not, we have two choices, and one of them is further to the right on every single policy that you have opinions about.

So if you think Harris is too far to the right on Israel/Gaza, remember: Trump is so much further to the right. You don't like that the Biden administration is providing military aid to Israel (a thing that Harris cannot actually stop even if she wanted to, given that she's not president)? Trump has already proven, on a policy level, to be more pro-Israel. Remember when he moved the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, functionally acknowledging Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem? He is extremely pro-Israel and has materially proven it. Harris, on the other hand, has been calling for a cease fire since March and has recognized out loud the need for Palestinian sovereignty.

If you're wondering why she hasn't changed U.S. policy on Israel, I would like to remind you once again: she is not currently the President of the United States.

Holding on to your precious ideological purity and not voting for someone whose policies you find distasteful will not result in policies you like. It only increases the risk of policies that are so much further away from what you want.

Voting is public transportation. Voting is harm reduction. Voting is moving us a little bit closer towards the policies we want or, at the very least, keeping us from moving further and further away.

Back then, during spring

[eurovisionart]

I should have been drawing the last 1993 contestant today, but instead I decided to sketch some of this year's artists.

It pains me that this Eurovision will forever be remembered in a negative light. Despite all of the talented artists this year, the wonderful hosts and production, it is indeed very hard to stay positive. I wished that the contest would live up to its 'United by music' slogan. Without exaggeration, Eurovision has always been my favorite time of the year... But not this year.

I am Dutch, so I guess I will not be able to vote tonight. Regardless I hope we can show support for the artists tonight.

Because it has always been the artists that have made Eurovision into the wonderful show that it is. Not the EBU.

Tumblr's Poorest Little Meow Meow

A poor little meow meow, by definition, must have three traits: soppingly wetly pathetic, squishy scrungly cute (or a similar attribute), and morally ambiguous. YOU will be voting for characters to win the title of

Poorest Wettest Saddest Littlest Meow Meow!

Character nominations were limited to one character per fandom and were crowdsourced.* Match-ups were made on a seeded basis according to character popularity, in the hopes of preventing a popularity contest from happening. Remember, it doesn't matter if they're your blorbo, we're trying to find the SADDEST and MOST ATROCIOUS little meow meow. Please evaluate how well they fill the attributes of a PLMM when you vote!

*If your poorest little meow meow didn't make the cut, sorry! Maybe we'll hold another round.

Polls will be held daily at noon EST. Here's the bracket. It's not fancy; nothing about this will be fancy. (These polls are just as pathetic as the characters they represent.)

All posts will be tagged #tumblr's plmm contest

snl wishes they could be this funny prepared, let alone off the cuff. nobody has perfected the art of comedic timing like zac oyama has but also, nobody could work with other comedians well as these guys do.
