LOST IN TRANSLATION - mark lee smau

you, as the promising journalism student of NCUT, were more than willing to join the school magazine when you got offered. to your disappointment, the only section they let you have is the anonymous confessions one - which is mostly really, really boring. i mean, who even posts any cool confessions nowadays ? especially in a damn college magazine ? they only offered you the job no one else wanted.

on the other hand, mark, a business student, was never more annoyed with the choice of his major. sure, business is cool and hopefully it’ll earn him money, but it’s not something he could really get into. he always wanted to do music. but after long considering, he chose business instead, to make sure he gets a real job in the future. and he doubts that choice was correct more and more every day.

once the school band announces they’re looking for a new guitarist, he’s absolutely ready to apply until he reads the ‘music students only’ part. pissed off, he starts typing a message to the gc, but it ends up going to a different number - and you finally get to help some poor random stranger who confessed with something interesting.

business major! mark x fem journalism major! reader

GENRE — fluff, comedy, humor, slowburn, strangers to friends to lovers, non-idol au, college au

WARNINGS — a little bit of cursing, probably kys/kms jokes, mark is really unlucky and awkward, reader as a journalism student loves gossiping a LOT and she’ll get into everyone’s business to do her job properly, a lot of teasing, includes mlm, features other idols (aespa, enhypen…)

Jackass weekly horoscopes for January 8-14, 2024

I haven't done a real Jackass-themed horoscope before, so I contacted Weekly Horoscope: January 8–14, 2024 | Horoscope.com for each of the members, new and old.

Wee Man: May 16, 1973 ♉🌿

The littlest member of the cast will seek new adventures during the new moon in Capricorn, though he might have some trouble focusing on just one path as the week progresses. Therefore, a little reading may help remedy his creativity slump during the weekend expansion zone.

Ryan Dunn: June 11, 1977-June 20, 2011 ♓🍃

During his precious time on Earth, our Random Hero was witty and charming despite his reckless demeanor with the way he aided his closest friend Bam Margera in their pranks and stunts. Until his last days, Dunn loved to socialize with his castmates on and off set.

Steve-O: June 13, 1974 ♓🍃

As the most recognizable cast member besides Knoxville, Steve-O should use this week to empower himself and his close circle of friends regardless of how strong his relationships with his loved ones. Over the next two weeks, his love life may reach its peak upon Mercury rising so that he'll find out what his lover really means in the fine print.

Chris Pontius: July 16, 1974 ♋🌊

The new moon in Capricorn is the perfect time for Party Boy to venture outside his comfort zone in all aspects of life: personal, professional, and creative. One slight constructive criticism, however, is that he could improve his trust skills depending on confidence level.

Preston Lacy: August 14, 1969 ♌🔥

No matter how productive he's been since the new year began last week, Preston's productivity faces a major boost with the new moon in Capricorn. Watch out for signs of jealousy, though, because the weekend will bring the oldest Jackass star to realize he doesn't need to compare other people's values to his own.

Zach Holmes: September 11, 1991 ♍🌿

By the time the new moon in Capricorn comes around, this Jackass newcomer will have wasted no time enjoying a plethora of activities along with making some new friends. Much like Leos, however, Zach could fall victim to jealousy as 2024 progresses, so creating new projects could compensate for that.

Bam Margera: September 28, 1979; Jasper Dolphin: September 28, 1990; and Poopies: October 21, 1986 ♎🍃

Not one, not two, but three Libras represent the Jackass crew, two of them-Bam and Jasper-sharing a birthday 11 years apart, making this weekend the right time for Bam to invest in his sobriety by skateboarding in his free time, like he has been the past few months. As for both Jasper and Poopies, both newbies could balance self-care and help with others.

Danger Ehren: November 29, 1976; and Eric Manaka: December 9, 1999 ♐🔥

Two weeks after Christmas, the Jackass Forever MVP and the British unknown seek improvement in their financial journeys. If they shift their attention onto themselves instead of their rivals, both Sagittarians will momentarily master their investment skills by the next week.

Dave England: December 30, 1969 ♑🌿

New beginnings await Dave England as 2024's first full moon approaches. Therefore, reinventing himself by overcoming harsh realities of various aspects of his life can lead to a gradual boost of self-esteem over the next two weeks.

Rachel Wolfson: January 23, 1987 ♒🍃

As someone who shares a star sign as me, Rachel is just as daring as me, if not more so. However, even she could use a little downtime on her ever-active stand-up comedy schedule by reducing any negative aspects by the time Mercury enters her subconscious zone on Saturday.

Johnny Knoxville: March 11, 1971 ♓🌊

I saved the best member for last because Knoxville is worthy of discovering what he really wants in life. The real goal for this weekend's Mercury rising, however, is for him to help reach and modify his goals and aspirations for the first quarter of 2024.

65th Grammy Awards: Best Progressive R&B Album

I had to take a minute to listen to most of these albums a couple times, and I've arrived at my assessment of them all. I'm also gonna try keeping my reviews brief, since long Tumblr posts are not really the vibe. Let's get into it.

"This Category recognizes excellence in albums of progressive vocal tracks derivative of R&B. This Category is intended for artists whose music includes the more progressive elements of R&B and may include samples and elements of hip-hop, rap, dance, and electronic music. It may also incorporate production elements found in pop, euro-pop, country, rock, folk, and alternative."

Operation Funk - Cory Henry

Based on the description of this category, I'm a little confused about why this album is included here. I enjoy the album, but there's an "old soul/funk" vibe to it that makes me question how "progressive" it truly is. This is giving 'traditional' more than it is progressive, to me.

Gemini Rights - Steve Lacy

Now this album is a personal favorite of last year. It feels like it was made specifically for the Black kid that grew up loving 2000s pop/rock. This is Steve's 2nd solo album following his work with The Internet', and it is refreshing to see him on top of the world with Bad Habit. However, I actually would not call this an R&B album at all. It is mostly a soft/pop rock with some moments of soul in it. And for that reason, I also don't think it fits the category as much as others.

Drones - Terrace Martin

This is the first album in the list that feels like Progressive R&B to me. Intricate production, electronic influences with hip hop undertones, features by several new-school acts, ending with a James Fauntleroy gospel song? Very much the embodiment of innovative, forward-thinking R&B. I enjoyed this project a lot.

Starfruit - Moonchild

Now we're at the 2nd album in the category that fits the description. This project is "cruising on a breezy Saturday afternoon" music. The lead singer's voice is airy and relaxing, and the production is funky, creative and jazzy. My one qualm.. despite her voice and the musicality.. there's somewhat of a monotony across this album.

Red Balloon - Tank and the Bangas

Y'aaaalllllllll.

I'm familiar with the name of this band, but I thought they might have been too left-field for me.

What a mistake that was.

This album is a sonic journey through Blackness. There's hip hop, funk, jazz, damn near gospel.. everything you need is in this album. And the versatility of Tank's voice is INSANE. How can one voice sound like the embodiment of Nicki Minaj, Kendrick Lamar, Jazmine Sullivan and a lounge singer all on one project? Tank is her own person to be sure, I'm just saying she contains multitudes and I'm beyond impressed. I was sleep, but now I'm woke. A fusion like this also fits the progressive description to a T.

Who Should Win?

I don't need to deliberate. The winner better be Tank & The Bangas' Red Balloon album.

My 2nd choice would be Terrace Martin's Drones, and my 3rd Moonchild's Starfruit.

Let's see what they decide tomorrow.

RE:SET Complement Burger

I want to approach the Re:SET Concert Series like a friend that needs a little guidance.  If Re:SET can be pointed in the right direction, it has a possibility of being the next great touring festival.  If not, it was a thing that my concert hopper crew did once.

A brief summary of Re:SET for those who might need it.   It is a touring three-day festival with four artists a day. It tours with the same artist lineup but will be on a different day, for example… Boy Genius will play in New Orleans on Saturday and Atlanta on Sunday, while LCD Soundsystem visa versa.  All this is on one stage in each city. 

Speaking of which, the headliners this year were the previously mentioned Boy Genius and LCD Soundsystem, and Steve Lacy.

This festival was great, but it also reminded me of the burger I ordered there.  I really needed the burger to keep up with the calorie count I lost dancing during the Idles set. The $18 burger, though, should be the peak burger,  but I just got the mediocre burger. 

So with the continuation of the food metaphor, I want to call out RE:Set’s good with the bad, and good again with a compliment sandwich, but the middle is so important to be addressed that it needs to have a bigger filling than just a regular sandwich.  

May I Pre:SENT… The Re:SET Burger. 

The Top of the Bun: Best Festival to Explore a City

I love Atlanta’s Shaky Knees Music Festival.  Shaky Knees Festival books my favorite Alternative and Punk undercard on the east coast.  The first couple of times I went, my crew and I had planned on cool touristy things to do in the city. However, if you go to Shaky Knees fashionably late because you spent too much time shopping in Little 5 Points, you are missing music. Resulting in missing out on that aforementioned best alternative and punk undercard on the east coast.

With RE:SET in Atlanta, we were able to nerd out at Emory University's Michael C. Carlos Museum and the High Museum of Art and ride bikes on the Beltline. We finally had the time to some top-tier burgers from Slutty Vegan that were worth every penny before the late-night crowd.

The festival is a great way to explore a city and actually do things.

For example, attendees of Re:Set Nashville could go chow down on Prince’s Hot Chicken and regret thinking they could handle two heat levels too hot later while getting down to the Tori y Moi set.

A New Orleans cemetery tour with all the other sad girls to see would have really set the mood to see Boy Genius in City Park.

In D.C., you could have stormed* the capital and been back in time to sing about your Big Habit with Steve Lacy. *Publisher note: Do not “storm” federal buildings. There are plenty of other fun, affordable and legal things to do in Washington, D.C.

If this is an annual event, I might use it as an excuse to visit a different city.

The Patty: The Re:SET Communication

It was a failure of the little things that can only be explained in bullet point form that bugged me.

The lineup was released early, but the time of the event was posted almost less than a month from the day of the event.

You can plan a pretty picnic, but you can’t predict the weather. With that in mind, the festival should be better prepared to share updates. At Re:Set Atlanta and some of the other city stops sets had to be rescheduled due to extreme weather. Instagram Stories should not be a primary way to receive updates, and emails about rescheduling should not be sent out an hour after the new schedule starts. 

Speaking of Instagram, be excited about your festival.  My beloved Shaky Knees posted schedule updates and pictures and imaging and stuff, maybe too much stuff all the time.  It seemed that RE: Set went months without posting anything.  I chose your festival, let me know I’m going to enjoy it.

A lot of people ignored this, but no blankets? Re:Set is one stage,  I’m there for four hours, and the grass gets uncomfortable to sit on without a blanket.

It felt like it was lucky it happened. When the crew and I left, we were all, “That was nice. Hope it happens again,” and not, “That was great! Can't wait until next year!”

That being said, “I was like, that was great, let see them in Nashville!”  which brings me to the bottom of the bun.

The Bottom Bun: Each Day a Different Vibe

On the first day, Steve Lacy and the other artists brought the funk.  The freaks came and got freaky.

LCD Soundsystem and others brought the energy.  The energy was reciprocated back to them.

The third day brought the chill. Everyone chilled.

In each city, the rotation will be different, but the vibe remains.  Every undercard really did elevate the headliner. My crew really loved the Idles, Jamie XX, and LCD Soundsystem energy so much that we were eyeballing the Nashville show.

The organizers really did a good job with each day's lineup, but they really did drop the paper plate on some of the small stuff.

I really do hope this concert series continues, though.  I have mentioned Shaky Knees before, and there was a time when their headliners were Gary Clark Jr and LCD Sound system; now, there are giants like The Killers and Muse.  Those crowds kill vibes.  Re:Set was all about vibes.

The Fries

The house music between sets was pretty lit.

Re:SET, improve your communication, and it will be biscuits and gravy, babe.

Fender Taps Steve Lacy For Signature Guitar

If you’re a fan of the genre-defying musician Steve Lacy, you might have caught a glimpse of what he has been cooking up with Fender, his new signature strat. Making cameos in the music video for “Sunshine” featuring Foushee and most recently in his “Bad Habits” performance on the Grammys and Saturday Night Live, the Steve Lacy People Pleaser Stratocaster has been hiding in plain sight and has finally debuted for fans to pick up. With a resume starting from his teenage years and early Grammy win with the Internet to his work with Solange, Kendrick Lamar, Vampire Weekend, and his solo work, including his recent Grammy-winning album Gemini Rights, we are glad to see him add having a signature guitar. Read more here in the blogpost.
