'LEONA' will be playing in the Fleur Film Festival meaning my mama's about to be on the big screen for ONE NIGHT ONLY!
I created this eulogy, short film over the past few months while grieving my mom who passed in February. The Fleur Film Festival actually inspired me to create this and use my emotions towards visuals.
I can't wait for others to learn about my mom and to just feel the love that can be in grief.
You can also check LEONA out here:

Made a new musician friend last weekend. We haven’t met yet but he’s cool as fuck and we’re guna make some music this weekend and I’m beyond excited. I’ve always had trouble finding musicians in my area who, like, make music, rather than just play covers or whatever. But this guys the real deal like he’s made a few albums with a handful of bands and he’s toured with multiple bands and he knows how to CREATE a song with someone. I already sent him a couple little riffs I’ve made and he was like “oh yeah I could totally write around that”. I’m really excited. Not to be the “I’m so good at guitar” guy, but everyone I’ve ever played with has said the same thing when i show them some music I’ve made and ask if they’d like to write a song around it. They’re always like “yeah no to hard” like immediately. these mfs don’t even try. Not this guy, not THIS GUY! We’re guna do BIG THINGS. YOU MARK MY WORDS.
#granted I kinda set myself up for failure by playing like progressive math rock type Shit in rural ass Iowa#the only bands people around here like are either pantera or Stevie Ray Vaughan. good luck finding cool musicians around here.#this guy isn’t even from around here he’s from Fucking Maryland#thanks for listening

screaming myself hoarse til I pass out we were together during a very tumultuous time in our lives I will always have your back and be curious about you about your career your whereabouts!!!
#not about j we're good - about the friend who i haven't shut up about in the 14 years i've been on the hellsite#the fun part is that i know his forever career and his forever whereabouts and it will break my heart into shards for the rest of my life!#and goddamnit we weren't romantically together but instead together as part of a weirdly codependent friend group of four and we were#near identically weird and fucked up emotionally and in our humor and how we spoke and how we meshed and i will NEVER fucking get over it!!#i'm still agog that i sent you a last chance hail mary sort of letter like the lyrics in this song about how i think about you often and#have always believed in you and been rooting for you like all the rest of us who knew you before things got really bad because you were and#are such a fucking incredible person and musician and friend and so smart and creative and LOVABLE! i said that in the letter without#realizing alanis said that in one of THE best lost love songs of all goddamn time!#i wish i could tell you one more time - right now today immediately or better yet five years ago - how i have always loved and admired you#and everything about you. even now. all the way out here in iowa i am still loving you with everything i have in me every single day#knowing i will never speak to or see you again [i think about you all the time but i don't need the same] and i finally started to admit#that to myself and my friends and my therapist in 2021 and i'm more at peace with it than i ever was or thought i could be in 2019 and 2020#but i know it's gonna take my whole lifetime to get a grip on it and accept it. and it'll stop hurting one of these days. i know it will#i don't think i've ever loved a friend as much as I loved you. i think you were the best friend i've ever had#and that's one of the nastiest parts of it - we were good friends and you did seem to like me plenty#but i think i was the w-h-auden_morelovingone.txt by a mile. i was a weird obsessed stage 10 clinger.#and that's surely a large part of the dwelling and the fixation. if things had been more equal then maybe it'd be very different now.#guess i'll die because i sure ain't finding out!!#HELLO LOVES HAVE SOME RICH NUTRITIOUS ANNIE LORE ON THIS FINE FREEZING COLD SUNDAY AFTERNOON!#ann with an ie#<- this was a nightmare to type out and feel but i wanna keep it around for whenever i get the balls to talk about it in therapy again

listening to the new fob album on repeat until i like it
#Thats mean i do like it#Not as good as past works (folie a deux) but well.#nothing is.#I do like it#Worst song is probably what a time to be alive :(#I really wish musicians trying to make a comeback would do so by doing their own thing and not trying to fit in and be hip with the kids#I wish the general public had never discovered the word 'serotonin'#And i hate the 'livestream the apocalypse' line its so corny and too many syllables which is a pet peeve of mine#Honestly i might not have minded it if it was only said once in a verse but its repeated as a prechorus and. once was enough.#I didnt listen to much of mania but i do think this is better and a step back in the right direction#I like heartbreak feels good and heaven iowa and hold me like a grudge and flu game#I like love from the other side too but it also suffers from a syllable heavy chorus#Tbh though its worth it just to hear patrick stump wail again#I love that mans strange little voice

#tunes#yearning for snow and also re-appreciating another band i liked a lot#i really like the build on this one#unfortunately it was a song my dad recommended to me but sometimes i can acknowledge#that i owe a lot of my music taste to my postpunk-aligned weirdo parents#i only got into gang of four cos my mom had it on her ipod#etc#my dad was much more aligned with the new wave crowd#while my mom appreciates noise a lot more (shes a classically trained musician! she used to be really good at viola)#and my dad is like. donovan and talking heads fan likes to talk a lot about his experience being 'alt' in rural iowa

Whenever you hear a band/musician with a weird as fuck accent they're either from another country or MIDWESTERN. No in between. When the Illinois, Ohio, Iowa dudes get too insane from the corn and soy fields they make fire music

"A few mumbles" - well, we love your mumbles, Ethel Cain ♡
The Daily Illini: 'Ethel Cain delivers passionate performance.'
Hinterland, August 4, & Lollapalooza, August 3, 2024
Video by Ava Rose: Ethel Cain: A House In Nebraska - Hinterland Music Festival on Sunday, August 4, 2024 in St. Charles.
About Ethel Cain at Lollapalooza, the day before:
'Ethel Cain delivers passionate performance at IHG stage Saturday'
The Daily Illini is the independent student newspaper at the University of Illinois since 1871.
"Indie rocker Ethel Cain performed an alluring set at IHG to an immense Lollapalooza crowd on Saturday.
... Where in the studio version of “Preacher’s Daughter,” the instrumentation provides a graceful accompaniment, the drums and guitar manage to overpower Cain’s voice on the set.
Her voice was extremely faint throughout the first few songs, making it very difficult to hear what she was singing besides a few mumbles, and frustrating people in the crowd.
The attendees livened up as the eerie strum of the guitar signaled the beginning of “House in Nebraska,” one of her most popular songs off of “Preacher’s Daughter.”
The opening of the song sounded like Cain was merely muttering into the microphone, but her voice finally amplified as she started on the chorus.
“And I still call home,” she sang, as she held out her microphone to the crowd encouraging them to sing along. “That house in Nebraska.”"

At Jericho’s annual harvest festival, Enid and Yoko watch as Wednesday performs alongside the Nevermore orchestra, who are all shooting the cellist confused glances.
Enid: 🫢
Yoko: 😎
Enid: Wh-Why the flip is Willa beginning every song that way?
Yoko: I told her it’s a special way to dedicate a song to your lover.
Enid: *hisses* Why would you do that?
Yoko: Because it’s fucking hilarious.
Enid: Oh my god! Yoko, I can’t believe you!
On stage, one of Wednesday’s neighbors manages to brave her glare long enough to nervously lean in and whisper something. Both Enid and Yoko stretch their supernatural senses to listen in.
Wednesday: The intro to what?
Musician: *whispers again*
Wednesday: What does Iowa have to do with this?
Musician: ?
Wednesday: Iowa, the center of corn production in the US?
The musician stares in disbelief, then risks repeating their whisper.
Wednesday:
Wednesday: And what, precisely, is a porn hub?
Enid: Uh oh, looks like you better— *turns* Yoko?
Empty seat:
Enid: Huh. Well, good luck, Yoko, wherever you are.
— Back on stage. —
“TanaKAAA!!!”
