Folks, if you know a Ren main who watched the concert today, you should probably check up on them.
#THE DEATH APPROACHES REMIX GOES *SO* HARD IT'S INSANE#they added a few more layers to the xun part and then changed the entire suona sequence#and it was hype as FUCK#especially with the guitar in the back#like holy shit#i was expecting the highlight of this stream to be wildfire or white night but nope! death approaches with a steel chair instead!!#AND THEN they followed it up with thundering chariot too.....#oh god#*oh god* that was so good#honkai star rail#hsr#pink's musings#if anyone needs me i'm gonna loop this part for the 6th time now

but fr outside of my contracted madness i absolutely refuse to give joe alwyn gold rush like how is that song at all related to their relationship the lyrics clearly spell out a relationship that either never existed or only existed in implication and fantasies and maybe-maybe nots and its so bitter and yet desperately soft in the bridge where it almost projects a sense of envy, of wanting to be them as much as you want them. It continues an interesting oft ignored lyrical trend of taylor wanting just as much to be her lover as to have them, envying their easy charisma (you were flush with the currency of cool/i was always turning out my pockets) or quiet dignity (your integrity makes me seem small) dating back to her earliest songs (the kind of flawless i wish i could be). Theres a projected self hatred and yearning to be better that twists itself into both romantic and sexual lust for her partners thats so fascinating and speaks to how all of her songs regardless of who theyre about are also an act of self reflection on who she is and who she wishes to be.
#barry.txt#taylor swift#putting this in the tags as a form of self protection but make no mistake this is a gay thing to do especially in gold rush#which through simple context clues is Obviously About A Woman or maybe even women in general#whivh is a totally seperate post on how taylor constructs and uses gender identity in her music#her girlhood and femininity are earnest but also so carefully constructed and so high effort and kind of desperate#shes a deeply self concious and obsessive person who never looks comfortable in anything ever unless shes#onstage or like. by herself in loose jeans and a tshirt#i think thats one of the things that subconsciously irritate ppl when it comes to her shes constantly and clearly putting in effort#to appear As The Celebrity Taylor Swift and struggles not to self censor or overperform in interviews (when she gives them)#especially present in pre 1989 interviews where the interviewers really didnt have to respect her or worry abt how they frame her#if they didnt want to. Like the fearless era rolling stone interview where she almost has a meltdown over her mom buying eggnog instead of#milk. That whole interview is strange looking back not just bc of the weird misogyny but also because of what it does share#taylor is....weird. She has a strange and desperate vibe and always reacts slightly too much and uses slang poorly#shes media trained and has learned how to socialize but you can feel her discomfort whenever she doesnt have a guitar in her hand#idk these tags have once again gotten so unweildy. i just find it interesting that she finally feels some level of comfortable#in sharing that construction w us in songs like mirrorball and mastermind and imo gold rush#and scene#should i write this up and put it in the swiftieism zine#i should write something and put it in the swiftieism zine

i have done...an absolute deep dive into blues and folk music tonight. it was 100% one of those blink and three hours have passed type of deals. worth it though.
#be warned if you go into the tags i will explain how this all came up. educational but long!#so it started with two questions. mostly because i live in the ozarks i wanted to know and secondly i like music if you haven't caught on#(btw i am so giving you guys the quick and easy version if you are reading this at all)#anyway. the first question was 'why does the ozarks have such a country influence but also bluegrass but also blues but also folk but al-'#because while i grew up in stl i am now like. living living in the ozarks right? right. and i for sure can see how we are the like...#the little sibling of the appalachian mountains. and i thought it was just cause aw cute mini mountains (highlands people)#but instead its cause there were settlers from appalachia! which makes a ton of sense now seeing influences and culture etc etc#so we cleared up that. we know why the ozarks is the way it is (or at least part of it)#btw anyone who says branson is a “true reflection” of the ozarks is out of their damn minds.#that shit is tourist central and just drives me up the wall. they are playing a parody of themselves is the best way to describe it#caricature maybe??? point is. “h'yuck h'yuck we're the country jubilee!” is not uhhhh ozarks and never was?#like it was but they took it a step further. so. anyway#can you tell i'm fixated on this right now? moving on! question 2 was quite literally 'what genre is this song'#it's 'fault line' by black rebel motorcycle club (which i highly suggest everyone listen to)#but i was like hmmm very bluesy harmonica but just fingerpicking guitar so that's more folksy#so! i went on a deep dive of what technically considers blues blues and what folk is. and guess what! the ozarks play into this too#because! the thing is that the ozarks is weird. st louis is technically not in the ozarks but on the outskirts. and stl is influenced by...#the mississippi delta! therefore blues music which led to rock and roll etc#(that's a whole other tangent for another day on stl and blues and rock and roll)#but anyway it makes sense that once you have folks from stl area coming down to the ozarks then you also have that combo of...#mississippi delta and appalachia music. so then we go back to “fault line” right?#i have declared it folk mostly because it definitely doesn't follow traditional blues progression or call and response.#so anyway. deep dive tonight was basically what is this song's genre and how does that wrap into where i live!#which also. brmc is like...usually listed as a “rock” band from san francisco which hey! awesome.#but like. from the songs i've heard and especially causing me to do this deep dive...they do not strike me as a californian band#music is cool! regions are cool! culture is cool! i just like to see how it's all spread out ya know?#if you've read this far gold star! i hope you've learned something tonight from reading the ramblings of a fixated person#i'm rambling again aren't i

crossing my fingers that we get a BHAR XX remixx in 2026
#maybe we’d get a smoother transition from take a bow to starlight?#or imagine if soldier’s poem was revamped to accentuate the backing vocals and make the drums and guitar clearer#i’m honestly a huge fan of soldier’s poem so i’d be super jazzed#or just cleaner audio on everything would be great#in supermassive the “glaciers melting into the da-da-da-da-“ and the part where chris whispers “supermassive black hooollleeee.”#just imagine all that like. 3x clearer. no. it’s too powerful.#dom’s drumming already sorta shapes the album in a sense but what if they defined it further#like especially in MOP and KOC#i feel like matt buries a little falsetto bit in almost every song so it would be cool if they brought that out a bit more

went roller skating with a friend tonight
it taught me that oh no i don't like roller skating at all
#ashton is talking#the place just sucked in general though#it was WAY too packed in there to move comfortably#especially for someone like me who can barely skate#and the actual rink had such a weird policy#where the faster experienced skaters stayed on the outside circle#and the slower inexperienced skaters stayed on the inside#so if you can barely skate good fucking luck i guess you gotta get past speeding adults first#but i genuinely could not balance on the rink it was panic inducing i hated it#thankfully it wasn't ruined completely cuz we went poking around the nearby mall before#and went poking around a nearby barnes and noble and a guitar hero#so the 1hr 30min of shitty skating was worth it :3#we might go back there but i'm staying off the skates

i already screamed abt it on twitter but yall...go watch 'look back' its absolutely amazing
#i knew nothing about look back all i knew was that it was by fujimoto and made people cry#and i love things that will make me cry so i got tickets#and my GODDDDDD#honestly it hit rlly hard for me bc while i dont draw i used to be super passionate about piano and guitar and music in general#but bc of life and Adult responsibilities i fell out of that hobby#and this film just made my bones vibrate with the need to create and just DO!!! DO THINGS!!! GET OUT OF MY ROOM!!!#i didnt even relate to the subject matter but the soundtrack moved something deep within me like#yea the movie was sad but the soundtrack had me on the verge of tears the whole time from beginning to end#ESPECIALLY the song that played during the montage at the end jesus christ it just kept going and getting strong#and i was literally biting the inside of my cheeks to prevent me from crying HARD#but then the lights turned on and everyone next to me had tear stains on their cheeks so rlly i didnt need to hold back BUT STILL#GOD GO WATCH THIS MOVIE PLEASE

Top five mk8deluxe tracks off the top of my head big blue ribbon road cheese land mount wario dolphin shoals koopa cape and n64 rainbow. ESPECIALLY big blue, mount wario, and n64 rainbow. Listen to those with headphones sometime they kick ass
#ESPECIALLY big blue I never even played an f zero or have ever cared but that song FUUUUCKS. as a music fan#the original is INSANELY good. they were cooking up crazy things back in those snes days and then#THE MK8 VERSION JUST SMOKES IT STRAIGHT OUT OF THE FUCKING WATER???? they were like WHAT IF WE MADE IT BETTER SOMEHOW.#The way the electric guitar trades solos and even duets with the saxophone is fucking beautiful like insanely so#and the keyboard running under all of it is such a treat. god this song is fucking gorgeous#I don’t have as much to say about the other two big favorites other than they’re just insanely good jazz tracks. Favorite

dude the one thing about ultrakill is that its sound design kind of fucks really hard
#pig originals#i have like. the enemies spawning noises + the drone projectile noise + the streetcleaner dying noises in my head#memorised and shit. and the way that like the guitar rolls back in so smoothly when combat starts back up especially in the prelude? god#its wild. that game has a fucking hold on me

Marty’s first introduction to the world of heavy metal was Van Hal.en’s debut in 1978, which 110% resulted in ten year old Marty begging Lorraine to let him grow his hair out like Eddie Van H.alen (which of course, in the Twin Pines timeline at least, she expressly forbade).
He further fell in love with Iron Ma.iden’s 1980 debut; thanks to Paul DiA.nno, he gave up his long hair dreams (though Bruce Dic.kinson taking over as frontman absolutely brought them back) and made his desire to perform and make his mark on the world just like his idols much, much stronger.
#ooc.#headcanon.#your early morning reminder that marty is an equal opportunity music enjoyer#he loves pretty much anything and everything especially if it has sick guitars#eruption and phan.tom of the opera absolutely blew his mind#i’m updating his playlist to have a little more harder rock and metal stuff because we know he’s into it#he just tries to keep it on the downlow because you know tp lorraine and george would Not have it#I��ll ramble more about marty’s influences and what i imagine the flyaways would sound like later#for now though. going back to sleep for a bit

orion from the master of puppets album is like if i had a character theme, i think
#space-themed‚ heavy /and/ light riffs‚ and metal. quite literally me#i especially like the part once the guitars stop and it feels like you're in a planetarium for a second!#and then the guitars kick back in. highly reccomended#it lacks lyrics‚ but i would say it makes it better as a character theme due to being solely vibes#🌙rambling

I was wondering why Apep's boss theme sounded so familiar, like I was having heavy nostalgia trying to figure it out, but it reminds me of something from Kingdom Hearts, which I haven't played in so, so long!! Like especially the parts that involve the flute and clarinet??
omg y'all didn't know but I used to play the clarinet in middle school and grade nine, and we had to put on a little performance once, and I played one of the OSTs from the second game ksdjfsldgslk thinking about it kinda gets me cringy BUT it's a core memory where the aftermath of the performance unfortunately made me not want to play it anymore......... it's such a shame.
#ahhhhhh i was REALLY good at playing the clarinet. and the piano. i really hate myself for giving them both up.#guitar? not so much. i hated playing the guitar.#i have a clarinet saved into my amazon wishlist so i can buy one again bc i would love to relearn it.#ahhh yknow i always say how boring and mundane my life has always been??#at least that's what its always felt like from my perspective; i don't really change my routine and maybe that's why#BUT i have actually been blessed enough to experience SO MUCH in my life around all the bad things?#and when i was a teenager i think i really took that for granted. especially when it came to my health.#the fact that i dropped the clarinet mid-grade nine ended up being that awful culmination of the bad things i had to experience#but in hindsight i think if i continued to force myself to play it and/or the piano i would've ended up hating both of them.#my love for either won't ever go away nor will it decrease anymore (which i'm also grateful for)#and hopefully one day i WILL get back into the clarinet#but i'm grown enough now to put certain things into perspective that i can control the bad things that can happen to me or my health#so thinking about all the memories of playing that instrument when things were still good...... that's also an honour for me to hold onto.#now my favourite game has so many songs that has the clarinet in it and that really makes me so happy.#hahaha idk if this was all just random rambling but....... it made me happy to talk about and reminisce on.#:)#✦ nc vb.
