Fala pessoal, tudo bem?? Hoje estou lançando a primeira parte do meu segundo álbum "Contrasser"! Eu fiz tudo com muito amor e carinho. Espero que vocês gostem!

[allthegothihopgirls]

the same people who say "____'s music all sounds the same!" are the ones complaining "i can't find another song that sounds the same as this one/makes me feel the same way"

there are just some artists who create in the same genre their whole career, and that shouldn't be something their art is degraded for. and a lot of the time the entertainment aspect of their work is to appeal to a niche or just one target audience, and give them a plethora of ways to express the same feeling.

Cath-’s Mixtape; 2007:

Spring 2007. Catherine and I met up again two months after we first met. It took me a lot of curiosity and a phone call to see why I hadn’t even seen a message from her since: she was still somewhat in isolation after she came back from upstate New York to treat her anorexia. She was surprised yet happy to hear from me and in no time we met up at a well-known ice-cream parlor.

Somehow giving each other mix CDs came into play. I had given her Nine Inch Nails’ Still (2002), Jesu’s self-titled record (2004), and Unsane’s Visqueen (2007) which just came out the same month. In return, she gives me this.

This was the stuff Rolling Stone articles and rock radio was made of. Throw in some 20 year-old teenage angst with some slick trendy fare such as Morrissey, Siouxie Sioux, and Elliott Smith and you have exactly what Catherine was feeling, thinking, and going through during that time. Granted most of this is pop fare, but I’m willing to roll the dice that if someone reading this would get a hold of everything seen here, one would really feel like Catherine right now. That is the effect of mix CDs: more often than not it’s a mirror image of someone; a listen, not a glimpse, into someone’s soul now experienced when you hear it.

If anyone is keeping score: we played with crayons and coloring mats. We had to endure an immature family and their loud unruly children all sitting next to us. And she turned me down when I asked her out, but she did gave me a hug to end the night.
