jumping in on all the record questions: what are your white whale records that you want to add to your collection? 🎶

i've been privileged to have gotten my hands on many of my white whale records already—most recently i snagged all of david mccallum's albums for about $30 bucks which was an absolute steal—and many of the albums that have been on my wantlist for years are just ones that i've been waiting to appear while digging but haven't stumbled upon yet LOL

however three that i think will require a miracle to acquire are lianne la havas's blood solo EP ("fairy tale" is one of her most beautiful tracks which is SAYING SOMETHING given how incredible she is), sara bareilles's what's inside: songs from waitress, and haruomi hosono's bon voyage co. which i want specifically because i play different covers of "sayonara (the japanese farewell song)" at the end of every single set i do and i want to use his at some point

[tomatoluvr69]

yayyyyy @sonic-fizz tagged me to answer these 15 questions this is so old web core slayyyyyyyyyyyyyy love it thx <3

1. are you named after anyone

eh i was named after a grandparent in a slapdash way. like they just chopped off half the name and called it a day...

2. when was the last time you cried?

literally probably like 24-48 hours ago in the car thinking about how doomed i am (this is not true.). or maybe it was reading a sad article...i don't know. I tear up a lot but full on sobbing bawling was in mid-Dec and a more sustained sniffle crying was when i was hungover and miserable about my tortured loneliness and doom for the future on new year's day lol

3. do you have kids?

omg...no...the microplastics in my womb and doom in my genome and also i'm broke and single and american

4. what sports do you play/have played?

i swim but it's like in the way that other ppl take walks around the neighborhood a few times a week. sports were so fucking abysmal for me growing up that i feel i am unlikely to ever return

5. do you use sarcasm?

occasionally...i've grown out of it for the most part though. there are better ways to be funny in a lot of situations...i am silly goofy mostly, or use observational humor and wacky metaphors etc

6. what is the first thing you notice about people?

i'd love to be like 'a warm smile :-)' but if i'm being totally honest i'm scanning their clothing/hairstyle/grooming etc to scan for anyone likely to judge me based on my failure to conform to gender and modern consumerism...which isn't fair to others, i know......but sometimes you just see someone in like salon highlights barrel curls full makeup suburban drip and you're like hmmm eeeeeek scary! I think this is a vestigial defense mechanism from my relentless failure to dress right and be liked growing up. need 2 keep an eye out for the freaks and geeks and allies you know (but i'm so lucky to be in circles where everyone is dressing androgynously, having full on body hair everywhere, no makeup is the norm rather than the exception, funky used clothes and practical work/outdoors gear is the norm, etc. ok i'm getting off track...). i also notice people's height relative to my own bc i'm a bit insecure about towering over some people even though i'm not that tall.... :-( this stuff says way more about me than about anyone else... :-( i will say though that i'm pretty good about ignoring these first readings and giving people a chance once i get to know them. this is just the knee jerk first impression stuff

7. what’s your eye colour?

pale blue/grey. sorry :-/

8. scary movies or happy endings?

i like SAD ENDINGS of LOVERS' DEATHS and UNREQUITED PASSIONS and FAILED DREAMS and SCARRED MEMORIES....

9. any talents?

nothing like above and beyond. but there's a number of things i'm pretty sufficient at without trying too hard which is nice i guess. gardening, cooking from scratch w/o recipes, stringing together a sentence or a laugh...

10. where were you born?

my beautiful steel city...kisses 2 her majesty.......

11. what are your hobbies?

swimming gardening fermenting cooking writing reading going to indie films with friends of discerning tastes attending potlucks oh and LAYING FACE DOWN IN MY BED.....

12. do you have any pets?

i wish :-( renter problems......

13. how tall are you?

5’11" or so i have not been to the doctor in so many years LOL....

14. favourite subject in school?

hated school but hated the humanities the least...i loved my filmmaking class in college the most probably

15. dream job?

MOVIE DIRECTOR...FAMOUS AUTEUR NOVELIST...HOMEMAKER...

I tag @fieryphrazes, @iwrotemrtambourineman, @chriselliottfanblog, and @chekovsphaser from my notes recently...and literally anyone who wants to and is bored you can say i tagged you. in fact i would love to read it i think tag games are so fun and i love to read them ok yay byeeee

[vampire-bite]

hi this post gave me thoughts and feelings because @iwrotemrtambourineman is a poet

Actually wasn't going to post this. Was just gonna make it to show my friends whats in my brain. But it's kinda annoying to send this many images in Tumblr messages.

[iwrotemrtambourineman]

I got tagged by the wonderful gia @glennmillerorchestra to list my top five favorite movies to see which one matches my vibe ✨

I’ll tag @tallsinspace, @fieryphrazes, @fieldtomatoes, and @localpubliclibrary if y’all want!

[radioprune]

lola versus powerman for the album asks! 🎶

yay thanks abby! oh wait no this is soooooo hard oh god

The best song on the album: strangers

My favorite song on the album: also strangers <3

My least favorite song on the album: i feel equally ambivalent about rats and top of the pops

The most overrated song on the album: umm maybe apeman? i like it don't get me wrong but i feel like it gets a lot of hype and others deserve it more <3

Most underrated: this time tomorrow and anytime from the super deluxe edition

The banger of all bangers: i mean. lola

Rate from 0-10: ummm 9/10. 9.5 even. don't get me wrong she is beautiful and special and perfect but i reserve 10/10 for genuine no skips you know how it is

send me an album!
