[trombone-minivan]

dear mutual, i will never refuse the offer to go ballistic with an ask game:

5, 6, 8, 20, 25 and 26 for the song one?

(me after answering 16 different three song questions ;) worry not, i'm enjoying this)

5. three songs you wish you could forget (because listening to them hurts)

Can't Catch Me Now by Olivia Rodrigo

Imagine my ass chilling listening to my discover weekly when I get hit with this scarring ballad about how one can kill a person but not an idea..... (at least that's what i hear in it) It is a great song, I'm just often not strong enough emotionally to listen to it, you know?

Trampoline by Kero Kero Bonito

On the opposite side of the spectrum, Trampoline is so positive it makes me feel diabetic. I don't know if it's PTSD from The Computer Sceince Teacher Who Need Not Be Named or what, but I very rarely feel it. Again, good song!

Birds by Imagine Dragons but specifically the music video

i cried when i first saw it. yes it was mostly thanks to the music video and not imagine dragons. but i still cried. i watched it again before writing this and the feels didn't hit me as strongly, but i still think it fits here.

6. three songs you wish you could erase from history (because they’re terrible)

this question made me realize there are benefits to a spotty memory. if i don't keep something on my mind, i will forget about it; therefore, i can (and do) only remind myself of the good music. but worry not, i scoured the deepest depths of my memory, my old excel sheets and my google notes to bring you 3 songs i really do not like:

Bad Habits by Ed Sheeran

Vitajte by In Time

Believe by Eminem

The first two are representatives of the "mid ass song getting shoved down everyone's throats by way of radio", while the last one I'm choosing as a champion of all the wack rap I've ever listened to.

8. three songs that remind you most of summer and vacation

Barbie Girl by Aqua

Dark Horse by Katty Perry feat. Juicy J

Žijeme len raz by Ego & Robert Burian

Like the last question, this is a 2+1 deal. First, a little story time: my family once went on a vacation to Bulgaria. The resort we stayed at was playing music in and around its pool/courtyard area. Thing is, they played like 7 songs on repeat. Barbie Girl and Dark Horse were two of those, I regrettably can't remember the rest.

That is why , as a self-respecting Slovak who was alive in 2012, I chose THE Slovak summer anthem for the third spot.

20. three songs that remind you of the person who sends this one

Inkpot Gods by The Amazing Devil, because i found out about your discord nickname independently and randomly that one time

Zenith by Ghost, because of your bio

Watcher In The Sky by Ghost, because of SEARRRCHLIGHTS, LOOKING FOR THE CATCHER IN THE RYE

25. three favourite songs of 2017

High Enough by K. Flay, because I've done Black Wave in the previous ask

Unlock It (Lock It) by Charli XCX feat. Kim Petras and Jay Park

1990 (Interlude) by G Yamazawa

26. three favourite non-English songs

well i have answered this question bef- you already know i'm gonna fire off 3 more:

Rusalochki by Go_A (Ukrainian), I am BACK on my Go_A propaganda, their latest singles have never missed once

Tempo Tempo by Haďaci (Slovak), a band with 192 monthly listeners to their name, I found them through a youtube channel you might find interesting

Судно (Борис Рыжий) [Sudno (Borys Rizhyiy)] by Molchat Doma (Belarusian), your experience might vary depending on what kind of short-form content you have seen in the past

Thank you so very much for the ask! ✨

[emofuck-inspace]

I was tagged by my awesome mutual @b-etter to post 5 songs I’ve had on repeat. Thanks for the tag friend 🙂

A lot of hip hop & electronic shit lately, with a bit of ska mixed in 😛 I’ll tag @another-brick-inthewall @sad-ghost-jen @n0pe-1 @hellboyyy25 @silent-cha0s & anyone else who wants to (also feel free to ignore)

[perenians]

8 & 12 for the ask game!

8. an old project idea i’ve lost interest in

i had one called ‘a foreign favor’ that was inspired by g yamazawa’s ‘the bridge’. it’s a video of me speaking about my complicated relationship with cantonese/chinese in general in cantonese. it felt unfinished & way more vulnerable than i’m willing to be lmao

the rhatobig (red hood and the outlaws but it’s good) zine LOL i really do want to see it happen but it’s just like. man.

12. easiest part of the body to draw

the head 💀

[songforaname]

mashed up the drums from Drumma Some by G Yamazawa with the guitars from Rage Against the Machine's Bulls on Parade because they have similar tempos. they didn't 100% sync up but i did my best.

the audio might also not be 100% in sync because it didnt record when i recorded my screen so i had to add it in myself and try and sync it up

[fate-tumbles]

I hope I can prove through my actions and not my pleas for help anymore, that I am okay.

#betterthan #butneverthesame

I have no idea what North Cack is but as soon as it came on my Spotify (since I left my joycrumb #joy #breadcrumb #hansel #gretel #weird #ass #witch #butmakeher #anauntie #i finally see you now #I too love to gossip girl one day #xoxo

But there's a time to be a black sheep, and a time to reclaim the AUNTIE title. Now I KNOW you KNOW how much I KNOW how much YOU mean to ME.

And #viceversace #thisoneisforthereal #aunties #ogs

I was scared I may be queer-baiting/being performative when dancing like a crazy person, but now I KNOW:

Same same, but different. Just like us

G YAMAZAWA – 1990 (Interlude) Lyrics | Genius Lyrics

[newshour]

"I was never going to get anywhere unless I broke through my own karma"

So says Asian-American rap artist G Yamazawa. Yamazawa grew up Buddhist in the southern Bible Belt, grew up with an absent father and grew up in a community that couldn't always see beyond his skin color. Rap, spoken word and poetry helped him connect with his purpose and fight against his insecurities. Check out this clip from his Brief but Spectacular take.
