Purple Hat As The Embodiment Of Knowledge

I want to think what could the embodiment of Knowledge could be interpreted. As this song from Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation demonstrates, it could be overcoming ignorance through learning which can overcome prejudice. There is a counterexample that a corruption of knowledge can still be used to support bigotry. However, that wouldn't be true knowledge but misinformation which I think Mecha Max as Purple Hat wouldn't be pleased with and would fight against. I like to think she hates bigotry masquerading as knowledge and does everything to slap it down. I think she would be someone who would be super anti-eugenist and hates how humanity has used misused fake knowledge to justify their horrible stances against others.

now for me to ask you!! what's your favourite album/artist right now :D? is there an album/artist that, even if you're not into them currently, has held a special place in ur heart/life?

That’s always a tricky question, because I have too many!

Some of my favourite albums as of late are Rhythm Nation by Janet Jackson (fallen back into her music…again), Adventure by Madeon (seeing Porter Robinson later on, half-related artist) and Tragic Kingdom by No Doubt (Getting into ska as a suggestion from my dad). All of which are absolutely fantastic and I would recommend a run through each!

As for the last bit, I feel like Gorillaz holds a special place in my heart. One of the first ever bands that got me to go outside my musical boundaries and discover new genres (Hooked me onto my dad’s CD collection, actually!) I have lots of memories of listening to Clint Eastwood on long car trips :]

So that’s a couple of stuff that I’ve been into!

(PS I really liked that Butch Baby song. Tracks that have overly descriptive titles are always going to be good!)

Collection Spotlight: Janet Jackson - Miss You Much 12" Single (1989)

I love really great "new arrival" bin finds! The Rhythm Nation album is so good, I knew I had to pick up this single off of that album. The remixes are a lot of fun, but the non-album track "You Need Me" is where it's at! I love finding singles that have non-album tracks, especially from artists and albums that I love.

This is definitely worth the pick up if you love classic pop music and/or remixes!
