You know I like a band when I start actually looking into them instead of just listening to the same 10 songs over and over again

bsf/roomate!soap

firm believer that soap loves long nails on his partner

went an got my nails done and thought about this the whole way home.

GUESS WHAT!! MORE PUSS EATING (shocker). soap is obsessed with you already, the nails really sent him over the edge. hair pulling. scratching. drunk!johnny. little bit of somo? this one is a little raunchy at the end.

-

you sighed a breath of relief as you finally stepped back into your apartment. the fluorescent lights and strong smells of the nail salon had taken it out of you. the entire atmosphere becoming exhausting after the first 2 hours of sitting there. 4 hours later and your nails were done up and you were home.

it was 4 o’clock when you arrived. the home was silent, meaning johnny must’ve gone out. you decided to take advantage of your exhaustion, opting to take a quick power nap on the couch before deciding what to do for dinner.

-

you stirred slightly from the sound of the front door opening and closing. your body was unmoving, your mind pulling you back into a slumber. you could faintly here feet shuffling across the tile floor. johnny. you could feel when he entered the room, the energy shifting to accommodate another person.

you finally opened your eyes when you felt him approach the edge of the couch. he smiled down at you, a huge grin. a drunken grin.

��g’mornin’ bonnie,” he slurred.

you had no time to respond before you felt a rush of cold air cover your warm body, the blanket being lifted up. the chilled air was replaced by the blanket once more, but now another person as well.

johnny shimmied himself to lay between your legs, his head resting on your sternum. one arm snaking underneath you to hold you close to him.

“how much did you drink?” you questioned which a small laugh.

“too much…” he barely mumbled out, his eyes closed as his body melted into yours.

your hands subconsciously found place on his head, only resting them there at first before you started to gently scratch. johnny let out an obscene noise from the sensation.

you laughed at the noise, stopping your movements both from the laughter and the fact that johnny had grabbed your hand and was holding it. he had lifted up his head, his eyes darting back and forth over your new manicure.

“li’l bonnie’s got ‘er claws.” he said with that same drunken smile on his face.

“you like ‘em?” you questioned while still giggling.

he only nodded, his head plopping down before he set your hand back on his head, “keep doin’ it,” he mumbled against your shirt. you obliged, even using your other hand. gently scratching his scalp and tugging on his hair.

the actions slowly pushed you back into a light slumber, not asleep, but also not really awake. the stage where you could still free everything, but it all felt like a dream.

you could feel the warmth of johnny’s hands gently sliding up your shirt, gently caressing yours sides with his warm hands. you sighed happily from the sensation, your fingers still gently scratching his head.

you could also feel when his head disappeared under the blanket, your hands chasing after his hair. his hands still hot against your bare skin. you could feel the lightest of kisses he was leaving around your belly button, his head dipping lower and lower; leaving kisses on the way.

his hands slowly moved down your waist and hips, now resting on your thighs. he stopped his kisses for a moment once he reached the elastic band of your panties. his lips ghosted over the band before he gently pulled it back with his teeth, the elastic snapping against your skin.

you let out a small giggle, squeezing his hair harder than you had before. he let out a deep hum from the sensation which only caused you to do it again but harder. this earned you another obscene noise from him as well as a small smack to the side of one of your thighs.

johnny was now low enough to where your thighs were resting gently over his shoulders. the feeling of his stubble on the inside of your thighs made you realize just how close he was. you could feel his panting breathes against your clothed cunt.

“johnny…” you whimpered out, your plea barely above a whisper. you pushed his head down ever so slightly, coaxing him into your pussy. he happily obliged.

he stuck his tongue out to toy with your clit though your panties. he only lasted another second of that before he grabbed the elastic band and tugged them over your thighs and down your ankles. his arms wrapped tightly around your thighs, giving you little time to process your missing clothing before he dove straight in.

jeeeeeeezzzuuuusssss i bet he’s a messy eater too. wanting to do his absolute best to satisfy his bestfriend. his roommate. his girl (which is how he refers to you when talking to his friends and coworkers).

even in his inebriated state, he knew what he was doing. his hot tongue lapping at your clit, almost making it a point to be as messy as possible as a combination of your wetness and his saliva dripped down your ass and onto the couch.

he’d pay so much attention to your clit, weather it was his tongue or fingers touching it, it was getting played with.

it’s also mandatory that your pull on his hair and scratch his back and shoulders. that’s actually all your really able to do anyway. he’d make sure to hold you against his mouth though every single orgasm. your new manicure digging into his shoulders, drawing small drops of blood.

he could care less honestly. he’s been through worse and would be fine if he were to die in the moment. completely consumed by your smell and drowning in your cum.

“johnny, stooooooopppp!!” your screech caught his attention, making him pull his head back and up to look at you. you were completely fucked out, your eyes glassy and tear stains on your cheeks. he had no idea how long it had been or how many times you had come, but judging by your face it was more than once.

you were finally able to catch your breath. your chest heaving up and down as johnny watched you with wide, puppy dog like eyes. his chin dripped with arousal and spit.

“was that okay?” he questioned, now feeling completely sober from the adrenaline. you only let out a loud laugh, which made him flush with embarrassment.

you reached down to grab his hair once more, this time pulling him up to be face to face with you. you smiled at him before he felt a warm sensation against his chin. your tongue.

you playfully licked his face clean of your wetness once more before your lips landed on his, pulling him into a deep kiss.

“you’re such a good boy.”

he immediately came in his pants.

Julie and the Phantoms vs. Julie e os Fantasmas

I had recently been practicing my Portuguese and listening to music in that language, which lead me to the soundtrack of Julie e os Fantasmas. The original Brazilian version of the show. Funny how music works, because the more I listened to the songs the more I remembered about the show. Which is why I decided to make a list about the main differences between the shows.

First, the Brazilian cast and the name of their counterparts so you know who am I referring to:

Side note before we start, their music is also pretty cool. My favorite one is Essa noite somos um so (Tonight we are one).  You can find it on Spotify:

The Brazilian show lasted 1 season with 26 episodes, which were divided in two parts from 2011 to 2012. However, the show was always planned with one season only, so it had a proper closure.

In the original version, Julie isn’t dealing with the loss of her mother. Her mother is alive but decided to take a job far away from them, which leads to Julie resenting her because she feels that her mother doesn’t care about them and only shows when it is convenient for her. This makes Julie feel invisible across her life.

Both shows revolve around music and how much Julie loves it. Julie (BR) suffers from stage panic, one of the reasons she had never sing in front of people. The phantoms help her with this. Also, her preferred instrument is the guitar.

The phantoms had a more tragic death on the BR version. They were trying to replicate The Beatles’ Abbey Road cover, but where hit by a truck and died instantly. One member was alive, but he retired from the music industry after the accident. They had been dead for over 30 years and were trapped on a vinyl record instead of a CD.  

The phantoms don’t have their instruments like the new version. After they help Julie with her stage panic, she buys them new instruments and decides to form the band.

The name of the band on the show is Os Insólitos (The Unusuals). They play in different venues and parties across the season. Unlike the new version, they sing the same songs repeatedly across the episodes. There are some special episodes where they reveal a new song.

The Julies share basically the same personality on both shows. Martim and Reggie are also really similar, being a flirt and a little bit clueless. Felix is way more anxious and fearful than Alex, he was scared of ghosts since he was a kid and being turned into one didn’t help with that. Daniel and Luke are probably the ones with different personalities, while Luke is this cutie that falls for Julie almost immediately; Daniel is egocentric and cold at the beginning of the show. It takes a long time for him to warm up to Julie and is resentful against the world for what happened to them. He had a lot of character development during the season.

Pedro (Carlos) and Bia (Flynn) learn about the ghost right after Julie does. Pedro and Martim develop a friendship based on pranks and jokes.

Julie, Pedro and Bia are the only ones that can actually see the phantoms. Whenever they play in the band, they hide behind masks and keep the idea as a mystery to attract followers.

Julie and Thalita (Carrie) were also friends when they were younger. The reason their friendship didn’t lasted, was because Julie realized that Thalita was a bully that picked up on other girls. Julie cut out all communication with her, which Thalita didn’t took well and continued to antagonize her until they were teens.

The main difference is that Caleb doesn’t exist in this original version, there is an agent of the Ghost Police that looks for the boys because he is convinced they escaped the rules of death. They should have crossed over, but never did. There also some kind of ghostbuster that is looking for them.

 At the end of the first part of the season, the boy say goodbye to Julie because they are planning to cross over; however it is later revealed that the ghostbuster capture them. They manage to escape and return with Julie.

Daniel develops feelings for Julie in the second part of the season, Julie also starts liking him, but she also likes Nicolas who had been her crush for years. Nicolas and Julie start spending more time together after he broke up with Thalita, and he develops feelings for Julie. At the end of the show Julie ends up choosing Nicolas, because she had liked him longer and he makes this grand gesture for her at school. She has a talk with Daniel about what they feel, and they both decide to still be friends and continue with the band.

Some fun facts: The show was sponsored by Monster High, so you can see a lot of merchandise in the show; Julie even dresses up as Frankie Stein for a Halloween party. The show was super popular, earning nominations for Kids Awards in LATAM.

It will also feature a colaboration with Fontaines D.C.’s frontman Grian Chatten. The new album will also see Hinds singing in native tongue (Spanish) for the first time. They are now down to a duo of founders Carlotta Cosials and Ana Perrote (both on vocals and guitars), the other two members Ade Martin (bass, backing vocals) and Amber Grimbergen (drums), have left the band for pastures new.

The video was made from and idea of Carlotta Cosials and Ana Perrote, who also directed it, fully shot in Kodak 16mm film in Los Angeles.

somewhere in the way in the middle of my loneliness feeling strange in the house of a mutual friend i said “nop, thank you tho” you know i don’t do cocaine my thoughts are boring you can ignore me

if you wanna fall in love in a bar tonight do you wanna fall in love with a broken heart? do you wanna ride? ride in my Mirage? do you wanna be the one that feels the “boom boom” back?

once upon a time in the middle of an XL lie faking laughs, melted ice, throwing dollars and dice

do you wanna step aside a hologram of your life? life is waiting in the middle of an XL lie

if you wanna fall in love in a bar tonight do you wanna fall in love with a broken heart? do you wanna ride? ride in my Mirage? do you wanna be the one that feels the “boom boom” back?

so we went to this after party, and they were starring at us “tia, ¿se nota tanto que somos españolas?” “maybe sí, maybe no” “i don’t know why we came” oh oh, she was like “girl, you guys are so funny… you guys are so… cuuuuute”

do you wanna fall in love? do you wanna feel the… boom boom back?

if you wanna fall in love in a bar tonight do you wanna fall in love with a broken heart? do you wanna ride? ride in my Mirage? do you wanna be the one that feels the “boom boom” back?

So I’m gonna rate and rank songs from all three seasons of Violetta (in groups of three, one from each season) based on categories I made up in my head because I’m bored

Starting by Vilu’s main solo song in each season:

1st place is Soy Mi Mejor Momento for season two and it gets an 8/10 because it’s inspiring, has a good melody and I always loved the lyrics, but for me the performance could’ve been a little better

2nd goes to En Mi Mundo solely because I dislike it less than the other one, 5/10 and it only gets points because of the nostalgia I feel whenever I listen to it

And 3rd Underneath it All, now, objectively it is a good song, but I give it a 3/10 because of all the hatred I feel for the Roxy plot

Next up is Leon’s Solo song in each season:

1st is obviously the best song in s1, Voy Por Ti 9.7/10, showstopping, incredible, only lost a little because of his outrageous haircut that pisses me off to this day

2nd goes to Entre Dos Mundos, great song, love the vocals, very energetic, 7/10 because it didn’t really get a performance so I can’t rate everything

3rd is Amor en el Aire, now, is it cute? Yes, but it’s plain, shallow and frankly it hardly scratches the surface of his songwriting potential 2/10

Moving on to Leonletta joint compositions/dream songs:

1st is Nuestro Camino, because everything is perfect, from the dream performance, to the lyrics, the melody, amazing, 9.5/10, because of Leon’s atrocious suit

2nd we have Podemos because it’s probably amongst the three favorite songs for like, half the fandom (including me) and it has some of the best performances from the two of them and probably the best romantic lyrics in the whole show (the Karaoke scene and specially the one in Madrid) 10/10

And 3rd is Abrazame Y Veras, and I hate to put it in the last place, but it doesn’t stand a change against the other two, but it is a great song, (one of the few that saves s3 from being an absolute trainwreck) 8/10

Coming next is the friendship songs:

1st is Junto a Ti, cute, love the vibes, awesome rhythm, great lyrics, 10/10, best one

2nd is A mi Lado, and it kind of opposes the vibe of Junto a Ti which is kind of a more fresh vibe that comes with the experience of finding a new great friend, A mi Lado shows how much they’ve grown and their bond has grown with them and they’re preparing for the reality of not being able to see each other all the time am I projecting because of what’s going on in my life? Maybe, leave me alone and so I love how it shows how they’ve grown 8/10 because it could use a better melody

3rd is Codigo Amistad, my least favorite song in the show, now, it sounds kinda cute but also really gives off misogynistic vibes so I give it a 1/10 because at least is an upbeat song you can dance to, so a point for that

Now onto the band’s songs

1st - Ven Con Nosotros, the choreography is great, energetic and really bouncy, the lyrics are awesome and full of I m p l i c a t i o n s (iykyk) and the performance is definitely their best one, 9/10 because it took me weeks to understand Diego’s part in the rap

2nd - Are You Ready For The Ride? is a good song, but it’s too messy and kinda all over the place, also the lyrics are plain, 6/10

3rd - Every Season 3 Song, they’re generic and boring and kinda sound like Every 1D Song, frankly after Diego left to be with his Dad on Art Rebel it all went down the drain, 4/10 because at least they’re catchy

And Lastly the Beginning/End of season group song combos:

1st place goes to Hoy Somos Mas for Beginning and Crecimos Juntos for Ending

2nd place goes to the Ven y Canta*/Ser Mejor combo

And finally, 3rd place goes to En Gira and Esto No Puede Terminar since they’re both lame

*The song I chose since S1 doesn’t start with a group song

Honorable Mentions:

From Violeta’s solos we have Descubri, an amazing song, one of s3’s saving graces that I forgot until I went to check the playlist with all the songs

From the friendship songs we have Encender Nuestra Luz, and I love it, because we see Naty singing more

From the band’s songs we have Tu Foto De Verano and Cuando Me Voy, the first one is good but I’m sick of it since it was constantly stuck in my head before I even rewatched it so yeah, and the second one is probably my favorite one of theirs, but the recorded version doesn’t have Diego’s vocals which I really don’t like

From the group songs we have Tienes El Talento, On Beat, Euforia, Friends Till The End, Es mi Pasion and Llamame, are any of them in the beginning/end a season? No, but I love them so there’s that

And now a list of random songs that don’t fit into any particular category but I feel should be included because I love them:

Habla Si Puedes

Te Esperare

Como Quieres

Algo Se Enciende

Luz, Camara, Accion

Si Es Por Amor

Ser Quien Soy

Quiero

Aprendi a Decir Adios

Mas Que Dos

A onda que nunca quebrou.

É mais que certo que a realidade objetiva - aquela dos objetos - é um mundo do “não-nome”, onde tudo se organiza e se mantém na independência do que a consciência e a razão esperam, com as ondas quebrando a todo momento na beira da praia e as árvores florescendo e dando seus frutos no interior da floresta.

O quanto estamos mais mergulhados dentro dessa realidade indizível do que apartados dela por mergulharmos nas expectativas de que ela corresponda ao que nossa razão espera, depende do quão conscientes estamos de nossa própria natureza, e o quanto ela interfere no sentido de nossa existência.

Quando nossa atenção está voltada para a natureza e nossas expectativas da realidade estão mais focadas em contemplá-la do que antever que ela se comporte de determinada forma, a vida é mais fluida.

Somos como a água do riacho, as ondas do mar e o farfalhar das folhas com o vento…

Para viver em sociedade, mergulhamos profundamente na realidade dos nomes e logicamente nos distanciamos da natureza, adentrando a espiral sem fim de que nos dias que seguem uns aos outros a vida seja uma mera repetição sem fim. No entanto, nada se repete, e a natureza, tal como é, segue em constante transformação, se modificando a cada instante.

Comemos, bebemos, trabalhamos e dormimos, sucessivamente nos entregando a uma existência maquínica que, à medida que se desdobra por semanas e mais semanas a fio, vai se tornando uma realidade mecânica e desprovida de vida.

Mas apenas aparentemente…

Para um jovenzinho, a crítica à rígida estrutura pela qual, por meio da razão e das leis, a sociedade se organiza é essencial, pois é por meio dela que ele critica também as regras que lhe foram impostas. Emancipado de uma posição infantil onde obedece aos seus pais e tutores, torna-se digno de, por ele mesmo, passar a determinar como agir e enfrentar as intempéries do mundo.

Contudo, essa atitude de heroísmo, esse rompimento e essa revolta, não podem simplesmente gozar de serem atendidos sem nenhuma frustração e sem que, frente a uma luta ou outra, ele não se dê por vencido, tendo de se dobrar à burocrática realidade do mundo adulto.

Sentindo-se frustrado, é natural dar-se por vencido, colocar-se em uma posição inferiorizada e sentir-se totalmente inadequado e inapto a conviver em sociedade, debatendo-se em birras infantis que, no melhor dos casos, quando é chegada a maioridade, em vez de choro e gritos, se limitam a comportamentos como fugir da realidade por meio do uso de drogas e delinquência, ou então, buscando colo e refúgios como os clubes de amigos, as militâncias políticas, jogos eletrônicos e mesmo a reclusão aos fones de ouvido e ao trancafiar-se dentro do quarto.

Entre o herói portador da boa nova e paladino da libertação e a criança impotente que não tem responsabilidade para dar cabo das cobranças da vida em comunidade, a personalidade oscila, rebuscando em seu centro mais genuíno e em sua natureza mais profunda um certo equilíbrio. Um equilíbrio, aliás, que pouco ou nada tem a ver com ser sensato, com ser mais ativo ou mais passivo, mais responsável ou mais dado ao conforto e ao descanso, mas sim com manifestar sua essência no mundo tal como ela é.

Essa busca pela essência, quem sabe um resgate, essa luta para conservar-se em si mesmo como uma parte da natureza que, como as ondas, simplesmente quebra, é sem dúvida alguma, em parte, uma luta por liberdade e imposição ao mundo daquilo que se é, que pensa e que sente, e, em outra parte, uma atitude de ser suficientemente dono e responsável pela própria existência, ao passo que é possível dobrar-se aos bons costumes de bom grado, evitando conflitos desnecessários e sem fim.

A luta contumaz para a conquista de um espaço individual onde a própria existência é algo válido no mundo e funcional em termos coletivos não é nem de longe essa militância para que todos tomem como corretas as suas vontades. Do contrário, teríamos de ceder um espaço também aos assassinos brutais e pedófilos, uma bandeira, uma passeata, um partido político e uma ideologia.

A luta contra a opressão não ocorre nem de longe mediante a agremiação a grupos que lutam pela liberdade e igualdade, muito embora sua existência seja extremamente necessária. Pois, ao cair da noite, quando recostam suas cabeças nos travesseiros, cada um dos ativistas deve prestar contas aos juízes que residem no mais íntimo de suas almas e da parte de si que é preconceituosa e algoz de si mesmos.

Quando um semáforo fecha, não surge uma parede de concreto à frente dos motoristas para que eles parem seus carros. Mesmo assim, o farol vermelho é, para eles, um obstáculo intransponível, e, mesmo tendo liberdade total para atravessarem, eles não o fazem.

De sorte que é assim…

De sorte que, mesmo sendo uma natureza viva e pulsante, tal como as ondas do mar, todos os dias, muitas pessoas, alienadas de seu desejo de seguir adiante, esperam mais alguns segundos no sinal. Do contrário, o mundo acabaria em acidentes fatais por todas as esquinas.

Quem é que se agremia a um grupo de militantes para que todos os sinais fiquem verdes? Ou então cria um partido e um movimento para defender as pessoas procrastinadoras de sofrerem do preconceito e da culpa por deixarem tantas responsabilidades para depois?

Quem então luta contra as crianças receberem nomes, uma vez que é direito delas, desde o nascimento, decidirem como elas mesmas devem se chamar?

Ora, a natureza aí está, seguindo tal como é, com seus riachos que correm tanto quanto correm as rodovias com seus caminhões e carros, seja respeitando as margens do rio ou as faixas pintadas à beira da pista. Nada há de antinatural no ser humano em ele esquecer, vez ou outra, que a vida não é tão ordeira e tão controlada quanto uma avenida, não havendo por que lutar irrefreadamente para que todos sejam respeitados em sua individualidade, uma vez que individualmente cabe a cada um sua própria luta.

Natural mesmo é que seja assim, que cada um seja responsável pela própria luta e que tenha mesmo que lutar. Pois do contrário, um mundo de serventia e de total poder lhe esperaria e tudo poderia nele, inclusive, flutuar e soltar raios pelos olhos. No entanto, as coisas não são bem assim.

Os semáforos seguem existindo, tanto quanto seguem existindo as ondas, e nenhuma alma humana sequer, em sua ínfima existência e pequenez, seria capaz de dobrar, seja o mundo dos homens ou a criação do próprio Deus, à realização total e ininterrupta de seus desejos.

É certo que como dito o homem hora está mais próximo de uma natureza contemplativa onde as coisas são tal como são em uma realidade do “não nome” e hora está imerso numa realidade premeditada que segue a norma tal como vemos no constante fluxo de pessoas que segue para cima e para baixo em uma rua da capital.

No entanto, pensar que ele pode prescindir de estar imerso em um destes universos, ou então que pode residir única e exclusivamente em um deles é o verdadeiro crime contra sua natureza.

Na grande maioria esmagadora dos casos é claro que a subjetividade e a individualidade, onde residem os sujeitos em sua essência mais pura são subjulgados pela normatização coletiva e aos ditames gerais de como devem se portar e a quais leis deve seguir, contudo, para aqueles que despertam para a constante alienação de si mesmos exigida pela vida coletiva, um profundo sentimento de inadequação e incompreensão sempre hão de perdurar, ademais, é justamente esse o preço a ser pago por um pouco mais de liberdade.

Mas como os tentáculos da coletivização e do roubo da subjetividade vão muito além da simples imposição autoritaria de sistemas de regras rígidos, há também quem compactue com o discurso da boa vida, da militância, do progresso e da própria liberdade em si mesma, havendo portanto e inclusive quem perca-se completamente no abismo de uma existência coletivizada com base em uma suposta emancipação.

Atordoado e coagido por todos os lados pela iminência de acabar pensando como tantos outros, um beco sem saída se instaura e coibe as atitudes e pensamentos genuínos por osmose, resultando em um se deparar constantemente com não conseguir em um momento squer um exercício genuíno de auto expressão.

É como se, ao simplesmente emprestar uma única palavra sequer para expressar da forma mais genuína e mais pura aquilo que se é e o que se sente, ou o que sente quando vê as ondas quebrando na beira da praia, aquele mesmo sentimento se perdesse pura e simplesmente por emprestar da linguagem algo que existia antes de si e que fôra outrora empregado por outro para explicar um outro sentimento em um outro momento.

É como se na base de toda a linguagem e de toda a razão, fosse nessesaario emprestar até de seu antepassado mais remoto e criador da própria palavra empregada, um jeito de pensar e um nome para a coisa propriamente dita, desta forma, dobrando-se também a esse mesmo sistema de organizar o mundo lingüísticamente sem jamais poder falar por si mesmo.

Retorcendo-se na verdade escruciante de que nunca é possível pensar cem por cento por si mesmo, como fosse necessário fazer as pazes com pegar emprestado uma forma de enxergar o mundo que jamais é capaz de atender a totalidade de um pensar e de um viver que só pode ser compreendido em seu ser mais íntimo sem nunca poder ser transmitido.

Contudo, e como a impossibilidade da auto expressão genuína em nada exclui a genuinidade da existência em si, o homem segue sendo como a onda, que quebra única e exclusivamente naquele momento e naquela praia, consiga ele ou não expressar-se por si mesmo.

Quanto de cada onda em sua existência única antes de quebrar não possui por acaso um pouco da onda que quebrou antes de si? E em que o possuir de uma mesma água ou de uma mesma espuma faz de cada onda única uma simples repetição da onda anterior?

Ora, há que haver água antes de cada onda unica para que ela mesma se forme não é mesmo? 

Mais ainda uma praia, um vento e tantas outras coisas mais para sustentar sua existência, ainda que ela enquanto existência única seja em si mesma a portadora de si.

Não háveria um único revolucionário sequer, menos ainda homem livre, sem que antes houvesse um para que fazer revolução e um “de que se libertar”, do contrário não existiria nem tão pouco opressor quanto menos oprimido.

É preciso portanto um distanciar-se da natureza objetiva para que se possa a ela retornar, pois não fosse um constante distanciamento dela e a existência de uma realidade subjetiva, menos ainda existiria-nos a oportunidade de ambas diferenciar.

A existência seria como ser uma onda e não ter onde quebrar.

somos como água e óleo somos como inverno e verão você é música antiga e eu música atual você é o band-aid para o meu joelho ralado o sol do meu dia nublado

não consegue enxergar beleza nisso? seria tão chato se eu me parecesse como você ou vice-versa amor, somos totalmente opostos e isso é tão mágico

what i listened to in july 2024!

total albums: 5 top 3 albums: Dance Gavin Dance (DGD), Nuestras Manos Son Incendios (Adios Cometa, Brat (Charli xcx) click read more for full reviews :3

Downtown Battle Mountain II - Dance Gavin Dance (2011)

Fav song: Thug City

Honestly every dgd album I listen to I like a lot and I have essentially the same things to say. Love Jon Mess’s vocals, Will Swan blows me away with his guitar, and overall I think the contrast between the clean vocals and the screaming is a huge part of the charm for me. I think I’d have to listen to this album on loop for a week straight to truly appreciate it more and have more specific things to say about it. You can expect more dgd (and swancore in general) reviews in the future since I can't escape them.

Rating: 7/10

Dance Gavin Dance - Dance Gavin Dance (2008)

Fav song: Hot Water on Wool

Aaaand here’s the more dgd (I was in a dgd mood traveling back from Minnesota what can I say)! And FUCK this album is so good. From the first song I was straight groovin. I was already very familiar with Uneasy Hearts Weigh The Most and honestly, the rest of this album sounds pretty different. In that song there’s barely any Jon vocals, but he’s very present throughout the rest of the album. I’d say Uneasy Hearts is the most accessible song on the whole album, which is no insult to either that song or the rest of the album. It’s an extremely solid mix of heavy and melodic. Not to mention, Jon and Kurt sound amazing together. I really wish Kurt had stayed as their vocalist cause he sounds SO GOOD here. I also really enjoyed the Chino Moreno feature and think he fit in really well. Overall, I liked this album so much and it might be my favorite of all the dgd albums I’ve heard in full.

Rating: 8/10

Nuestras Manos Son Incendios - Adiós Cometa (2024)

Fav song: Costanera

This album is a shoegaze inspired album from a Costa Rican band and is completely in Spanish! Over the past year or so I’ve been trying to get into more Spanish music, and Adiós Cometa has been a wonderful find due to that. I became obsessed with their song Norte off of La Isla Que Somos and I’m very happy that this album is of a similar sound to that ep. This album is a very nice evolution of their sound, sounding even more dreamy and atmospheric than their first ep. Having a completely instrumental track open the album sets the atmosphere and mood of the album, letting you familiarize yourself with the sound of this band. It’s some beautiful, dreamy shoegaze that gives way to the more upbeat second track. I think there's a nice variety in the mood of each song, while sticking very close to the atmosphere set up in the first track. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this album and am very happy to have found this band!

Rating: 8/10

Brat - Charli xcx (2024)

Fav song: Everything is romantic

I’m nearly two months late but I’m finally in Brat summer! Going in I knew this album would be a bit overhyped for me, and I was right. That didn’t stop me from enjoying the album a lot but overall I don’t love it as much as others. And I don’t really have much to say that hasn’t already been said by other people. I do think this is one of those albums everyone should listen to if they like pop music. I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t win a Grammy next year.

Rating: 8/10

Megan - Megan Thee Stallion (2024)

Fav song: Cobra

It’s CRAZY that Hiss starts off this song and I love it. You can tell this album was both a response to all the shit talking people did on Megan over the past couple years, and her just exploring the music she wanted to make. Overall, the album did sound a little repetitive to me, but the songs that stood out were very enjoyable to me. I haven't listened to much of Megan’s discog so I don't know how this album stands with her previous music. But I think it was pretty solid and like a lot of the songs a lot :)
