Taylor is so Tiktok-y. She is a culture vulture yes, but she is... also in it.

See, whenever something is popular, especially in the culture of white women, she will release an album with similar aesthetic.

In 2014, Tumblr was major and we have photos with these kinds of faded filters and Polaroid pictures. 1989 follows that too, but it looks off yk not like a deliberated attempt to create an artistic statement for the album like other artists. But what do I expect from a goofy ahh album title wdym your special trait is being born in the year 1989? Are you Christ?

And then in late 2019 early 2020 the cottagecore aesthetic was trending and she released folklore... like she wore long flowery dress and touched grass and stuff.

Then the Fall/Downtown girl/Rory Gilmore aesthetic. Miss girl wore thick jacket standing among trees 😭.

Then the whole 80s era came back and people loved it hard. Of course the next album must copy what the most mainstream aesthetic is trending! The lighting must mimicks the dreamy, glowing vibe of 80s pictures, with lots of contrast to create a vintage air. Tabloid of course must be sitting in a room with vintage interior design she damn well never lives in and even with a bloody vintage keyboard piano to complete the look 😭!!

And here we have the rise of #booktok and literaturetok community where people quoted Dostoyevsky and Kafka and Jane Austen and stuff. Is it a coincidence that Swifties start to chant about Taylor's pen and compare her to Emily Dickinson just by accident? Idk. But there she is promoting a whole album which is essentially about making literature an aesthetic, and she did it in a very surface-level way, like what do we imagine when we think of literature? Books, typewriter, fountain pen, cursive writings right? She basically grabbed them all and display it everywhere in the blandest way possible. Like, there's nothing visually artistically stimulating and curious. Black and white filter, paper, typewriter? Ground breaking. This MV should be preserved as a cultural relic. Even when a movie or video game tried to take an aesthetic but wrong, they still intertwine some modern twist on it to look more interesting.

So my take is that Taylor has no artistic individuality. She hops from trend to trend like a chameleon. She thinks of herself as an aesthetic enough of its own. Of course nothing is wrong about wearing what everyone is wearing but as an artist? You know how important personal artistic style is, it's to establish your own image. I think her signature is her blond hair, that's all. So despite being very famous, the general public just don't recognize her much except for being a white blond woman who sometimes sings with guitar... and there are many white blond women singers with guitar, they're just not as famous or insufferable as.

Kailman Legacy || 15: The Ballad of Edith Dean [Part 3]

With Love Day finally over and the summer well underway, Edith Dean has spent most of her time away from the public eye, letting her spray tan fade, but her passion for music strengthens. After her niece and nephew’s birthday party, she dreamt of city life as more glamorous but familiar to her, and she couldn’t help but wonder if it was more than just her mind’s wanderings but a prophecy for what was to come. After a quick swim, Edith Dean got dressed up and headed out to her first official meeting with Octavia to talk business. Thankfully, older sister Emily Louise was in town for work and able to be there as a soundboard for what Mrs. Moon could offer. Emily Louise didn’t climb the corporate ladder without learning to see through legalese and was more than willing to ensure her little sister got the best deal she could.

So, over brunch, the trio of women got to know one another. Emily Louise found it odd that Octavia kept her wedding ring on, but considering their separation wasn't public, it wasn't entirely out of the ordinary. Edith Dean shared her vision for her first album, which was inspired by the female country storytellers of the past, lyric-heavy and moody, with a few dance-worthy songs to keep the listener engaged. Octavia was on board with this direction, especially since the public would love to know the details of what brought her name to the headlines in the first place. Her enthusiasm for exposing her soon-to-be ex-husband was apparent, almost too much so, but the sisters went along with it for the time being. She eventually returned to her potential client, telling her she could have a gig lined up once they finalize the image they'll launch her with. They spent the rest of their brunch brainstorming, and Octavia sent their ideas to a trusted stylist.

Said stylist was already shopping around one of her favorite spots, letting her know she could pull some ideas together within the hour. So the trio finished their food and headed to Copperdale's quirky thrift shop, ThriftTea Boutique, thankfully empty of other patrons for the time being. As Edith Dean got into the different outfits, all with her signature pink, she was overjoyed at the idea of such a stunning debut in the music world and couldn't choose which was her favorite from the bunch.

The first was inspired by the vengeful woman of country music eager to key their boyfriend's car and dawn a darker look, embracing their female rage and an edger sound. It wasn't too far off Edith Dean's natural styling, making her feel powerful. The second was more of the modern, girlie aesthetic that softer female vocalists in the genre embraced, with tall, white boots lengthening her already long frame. The last was the most surprising to her. While it was within her typical color palette, it was young in a way that reminded her of her school uniform, with heart-printed tights and Mary-Jane's. She thought it would look like she was trying to play innocent as the two women across from her took it all in. Playing into her youth, while certainly tempting from a PR perspective, did make her slightly uncomfortable, especially with Thorne being twice her age. Still, Edith Dean knew she looked the part. Plenty of pictures were taken, and while she and her sister spent the afternoon together, she wondered what picture she wanted to paint upon launching her career.

Unreleased Projects: Jane Brooks Project

""Up until the most recent decades, female songwriters were much like females of any other profession; either nonexistent or relegated to the ranks of eternal subordination. One such female was a woman by the name of Jane Brooks, born in Somerset, England in 1922 and raised in a war-ridden America. The young Ms.Brooks was a songsmith of unparalleled eloquence, wit, and style, though it is questionable whether her songs were ever performed outside of the parlors and intimate lounges of the 1940s and early 50s. In any case, they were certainly never recorded.

But all of that changed when, in early 2003, a group of young American musicians went on an excursion to a local antique shop. They stumbled upon a dog-eared volume containing hundreds of pages of decomposing sheet music, accompanied by several black and white photographs of a striking young woman. Intrigued, research commenced, the woman's identity revealed, her authorship of the songs confirmed, and the sheet music restored to legible condition. The Jane Brooks Project was born.

It is felt that the songs of Jane Brooks could have ranked among the standards of the day had they only enjoyed the same attention given to Jane's male contemporaries. The Jane Brooks project has made it their mission to give Ms.Brooks her rightful place in history. To this end, they are currently in the studio recording the first of several Jane Brooks albums, appropriately entitled, "The Jane Brooks Songbook, Volume I."

*special note: The above story is a fairy tale, for your entertainment and ours, but the fact of the matter is, the Jane Brooks songs are written entirely by Emilie Autumn, while channeling the musical styles of the 40s. "Jane Brooks" is one of EA's many alter-egos. "

hi!

oh yeah, absolutely!

so I haven’t really been watching many shows, or at least finishing them. I have started Hazbin Hotel, the 1990s X-Men series, and the live-action Avatar: the Last Airbender, as well as season 2 of Invincible, and I’ve slowly been working my way through Batman the Animated Series.

For Baltimore by All Time Low

Sin Eater by Penelope Scott

When the Moon Dies by VERIDIA

Superstar by Rainbow Kitten Surprise

Shop Vac by Jonathan Coulton

The Old Therebefore (acapella version) by Rachel Zegler

One Eyed Bastard by Green Day

Levitating by Dua Lipa

also I’ve been re-listening to all of Taylor Swift’s albums and she has some really good songs that I completely forgot about!

for podcasts, I’ve mostly been listening to my weekly staples (Leaving Eden, Cult Podcast, The Newest Olympian, The Flitecast, Fansplaining, Beer With Geeks, Romancing the Pod, The Legendary Ladies Podcast, Books Unbound) but I’ve gotten into On the Bleachers, This Week in Fandom History, Tipping Pitches, Sounds Like a Cult, and Skywalk Before You Run!

Le nouvel album d’Emily Jane White est une splendeur, je suis tellement contente de pouvoir entendre de nouvelles chansons d’elle, enfin.

On retrouve tout ce qui fait son charme habituel, la voix, d’abord, profonde et douce, qui chante gravement, solennellement, des rythmes lancinants, parfois lourds et dramatiques, des mélodies qui restent directement.

Mais cette fois, il y a quelques claviers plus électriques, et des moments où la voix de prêtresse d’Emily Jane White se fait plus fragile, plus retenue, comme PJ Harvey jadis dans White Chalk.

J’aime particulièrement celle-ci. Il y a ce moment whitechalkien désarmant, touchant, et la chanson qui avance, avec puissance et quelques grelots sensibles. Comme si gravité et fragilité s’entrelaçaient, pour appuyer le propos global de l’album, qui est tout de même sombre puisqu’il évoque les dangers que court notre monde fermé comme sous une cloche de technologie, qui nous fait perdre le lien avec la nature.

Emily Jane White interroge l’époque, et déclare son envie de retrouver le goût de la pluie, de l’organique. Ce faisant, comme une fée, elle saupoudre ses chansons habitées d’étincelles poétiques, de chœurs aériens, de bruit de pluie, de chants d’oiseaux... c’est terriblement beau.
