Good morning Lola!! some questions to distract you during your dry needling. Now I see you’re a big traveler, what is your favourite meal you’ve eaten overseas? also! your answer about gang signs & prayer has given me so much nostalgia omg! I listened to that album on my train to and from uni constantly, and now everytime I hear songs from it it just reminds me of that time in my life, so I want to know you’re favourite songs or lyrics from it? and as a fellow cds in the car gal, what’s the first album your remember buying? and your fave to listen to in the car lately?
good morning! thanks for the ask! the needles are out and i am hobbling around because my quads are SO tight - the physio: 'oooh this is a good one' me: 'this fucking sucks actually'.
my favourite overseas meal - not sure exactly, but probably something i ate in vietnam or thailand. i had some truly incredible meals over there and SO cheap too. 309428/10 would go back for food alone (but also other reasons).
stormz giving us so much life! my favourite song is prob mr skeng for the vibes, but i also first things first, cold and cigarettes and cush (kehlani and lily allen 😭) the lyric that always gets me is the 'you was fighting with your girl when i was fighting my depression' just before the pause because it hits. but i just saw stormzy at laneway and let me tell you the energy in vossi bop for 'i could never die, i'm chuck norris / fuck the government and fuck boris' was high key haha. also, i'm not sure if you've heard one take freestyle - that song is so random but it's one of my favourites of his!
my very first album was on TAPE (that's how old i am - it was britney's baby one more time). my first CD was s club 7 - bring it all back. what was yours?
thanks for the ask!

I think I mentally divide my music tastes into
Dad's music: stuff that's deeply familiar and comforting because my dad kept a few CDs in rotation in the car or burned them for us as kids (Nina Simone, Leonard Cohen, Harry Nilsson, Quilapayun, Pink Floyd, Colosseum)
Teen Bullshit A (the Kerrang! Years): stuff I was very into as an Alternative Kid between 2001-2011 (Green Day, MCR, P!ATD, Sex Pistols, Ramones, Oomph!, Rammstein, Disturbed, Fear Factory, Slipknot, Stone Sour, Cruxshadows, Infected Mushroom, System of a Down)
Teen Bullshit B (the Steampunk Phase): stuff from when I was trying to develop my own music tastes through the medium of wearing a lot of waistcoats and top hats (Abney Park, Professor Elemental, Pocketwatch, Voltaire, The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing)
Accidental Perfection: Bands/artists I encountered and feel in love with while at friends' gigs/because they're friends/on the Fringe/opening for a band I liked (the Mechanisms, Porcupine Tree, Reeder, Sithu Aye, Vienna Ditto, Laurie Black, the Creative Martyrs, Reesha Dyer, The Indelicates)
Sam music: for some reason even though Kofi is a musician I literally meet through music, Sam's the one of my partners whose musical taste I've absorbed wholesale (Kate Nash, Stan Rogers, Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bitter Ruin)
CHUNES!!!!! artists that were so ubiquitous in the clubs I hit in my early 20s that now they're indelibly burned into my music tastes (Icon of Coil, DMX, Covenant, New Model Army, Nine Inch Nails, Eurythmics, Drowning Pool)
Songs About Survivorhood: this is like the most coherent genre it's Angry Trauma Songs About Not Coping (Sia, Kesha, Kate Nash, Bitter Ruin, Vienna Ditto, P!nk, Jessica Law, Amanda Palmer, Vienna Teng, Depeche Mode)
Politics bangers (MIA, Tech N9ne, Janelle Monae, Stormzy)
Smoooooth (Gotye, Gnarls Barkley, Gorillaz)
JUST MAKE ALL THE NOISE YOU CAN IN MY EARS (Borgore, Da Octopusss)
I'm gay (MIKA, Queen, King, La Roux, Robyn, Letters to Cleo, Scissor Sisters, Lizzo, the Killers)
Greatest hits: I heard this song too many times and now it lives in my head forever. it is probably the only song by this artist I will ever listen to (this is like half my library and includes but is not limited to: top 40 hits, soundtrack songs, 80s classics, club bangers, wrestling entrance themes and TV theme music)

yesss the letter format 💝💓💘💖💞💕💖💞💓 (lovely anon)
my dearest aria (a hamilton reference lmao),
i’m home alone (bc i wanted the house alone to get my head together after my brothers were mean to me 🙃) and i’m so hype LMAO but i’m watching chloe x halle’s tiny desk concert and honestly just vibing. (this is so random) besides zendaya like they are my badass black women role models. my one accomplishment would be to learn to body roll like them LMAO
oh nevermind i can’t have anything nice, my dad just came home 🙃 WHAT A WAY TO START OFF THIS ASK WTFFF
i’m liking tfatws, the second episode was veryyy intense imo but WANDAVISION IS SO GOOD😭 i knew it was going to be my favorite from the really old trailer but it’s really good and i promise it’s not just sitcoms, girl especially cuz you’ll have all the episodes already out- we were having to wait every week😭 BUT ITS SO GOOD I PROMISE HDJSHDJSH lmao reading this i was like “i- the episodes aren’t an hour long” but i feel that, it’s hard for me to watch tfatws bc they are an hour long and i’m like 😐 but wandavision episodes are less than 30mins bc I KID YOU NOT they have the damn 10 MINUTE CREDITS DHDJSJ no i don’t think we’ve talked about this b4 lol but it all depends on the series for me. i binged love island uk in less than a week bc i was so invested and LITERALLY LOVE IT but uh those episodes are like an hour and a half, but say i was binging tfatws (it’s so hard to type that ohmigosh) i honestly would not be able to do it bc of the intensity (you may be like what intensity but if you’ve seen episode 2 by the time you’re reading this.......... isaiah and the scene afterwards is all i have to say, esp me being black it was so tough :/)
girl you’re fine, as long as you’ve experienced it once hahaha i think the reason why it’s so important to my family (this letter feels so personal and extreme HSJSJA IM SORRY) is bc my grandmother loved it and in my family i guess it’s just important to us lol like my mom and dad love it too and we have the literal VHS tapes LMAO, but it only came up recently cuz my youngest brother was watching lion guard HAHA and he wanted to see the originals :) and fun fact (unless you already know) but there’s a lion king part 2 and 1 1/2 and i have all three ON VHS HAHAHA but i love lion king 1 duh (the og) but part two’s music and love story..... is so good. anyway. 🦁
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING DURING THE WHOLE MOVIE THEATER ENCOUNTER THING HAHAHA AND WHEN SHE WAS SAYING AWKWARD I WAS LIKE WTF THE NOISE LMAOOOO i don’t think there’s a better way to describe that whole situation than ZKDHDJSHAJAJSHDJSNAHA. yeah. yeaaaa at the cinemas (i like the word cinema more than movies 🥰) here they have chips (fries), some have ice cream, nachos, drinks, hot dogs, the cinema we were at had pretzels and like BURGERS I WAS LIKE HUH OKAY and ya know obviously popcorn but i don’t know why the theaters (or cinemas) here do that, it started a long time ago though like yearsssss
PLEASE i have the longest movie watchlist and uhh haven’t seen any of them JDJSKA (istg i use HSJSSKSH as a period - like . ) i’m still hype for cherry but very hesitant (idk if i can handle it) but i’m thinking about watching it in the next couple of weeks? i know it’ll take me forever bc i’m gonna have to keep pausing and shit but idk. i’ve asked around for very specific trigger warnings and time stamps so i REALLY know what’s coming (even if it spoiled the film a bit for me) but i do really wanna see it (i think? writing this now i’m not so sure lol) so whooooooo really knows lol, but chaos walking YES i was really excited about it :))) and about my friend uhh dude you don’t sound mean at all i was literally thinking the same thing but worse HAAKL idk what she was there for???? she bought my ticket tho so 💁🏾‍♀️ whatever
“SIMS ahh, BUNK BEDS ahh” had me cracking up lmao and you know my sims status JAJAHHAJ but i’m gonna become like you, saving every 5 minutes 😭 but that’s exactly what happened to me, i really didn’t know whether to shut it off or not but after 2 hours i was heartbroken lol i’m literally making a list of things i need to redo that wasn’t saved lmao
CAN I JUST SAY UR A MASTERMIND THOUGH??? UR SIMS GAME SOUNDS SO *chefs kiss* IM CRINE university is PAINFULLY long and LITERALLY I FEEEL THAT like you can’t do anything else without failing, i had my sim go to a party once for like a few hours and i felt so dumb afterwards like urgh he should’ve been studying LMAOO just cracking down on work honestly. UR NEIGHBOR!AU IN THE SIMS PLEASEEE i am very much in love with it, yes. (pouring rain has just suddenly begun where i am rn wow ok) i love that you put them on the same lot, that was really really smart and i love that ur living out your sexuality in the sims😭 i was abt to say “now you can say you’ve got experience bc of the sims” but ANYWAY IGNORE ME fhdhs THE ALIEN BABY DHSJSK i hope it’s not a dealbreaker for enisa. that’d be tragic. IM BACK IN UPPERCASE THO BC YES MAKING OUT IN THE SIMS IS SO HOT TO ME??? I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE STFU OH MY GOSH- all the stuff, whispering sweet nothings, and the making out, and JUST ALL OF IT!!! AM I TOUCH STARVED????? there was this time i made my sim just continue to woohoo bc it was turning me on big time. ANYWAY
half way through that i had to go to my grandmothers house (not the one that likes lion king, but uh hmm idk if you remember but i was talking abt my shit family so yeah that grandmother lol) so now i’m finishing this 🥴 and instead of chloe x halle i’m watching a tom interview lmao & if this takes me longer than 30 minutes.... imma cry
I REALLY WANNA ASK- IS IT BC UR GERMAN LIKE YOU CAN JUST WRITE OUT THAT LONG ASS WORD???? i mean i can’t write out supercalafrag- anyway, but that word is a bit nonsense, UR WORD IS A REAL WORD DUDE HDJSHS i love how ur like “maybe i mixed up these words” YEA OK.
lol i had to google what are waveformers lol (lol makes a comeback) and they look like curlers that you would sleep in (here we would call them curlers or uhm i forgot uhhhhhhh rollers i think) but ur fine when am i ever making sense?? i think the best part about these is the chaos yet we understand what the other means 😌
H20 H20 H20 OH MY GOODNESS SHE BROUGHT UP H20 OK MY LIFE WAS H20🥲 I HAVE THEIR LOCKET NECKLACE AND (short storytime) when i was younger i thought they were american despite their accents (idk i was dumb) but then i figured they weren’t when lewis went to go study in america HAHAH ALSO FAVORITE COUPLE CLEO AND LEWIS UGH WATCH ME REWATCH THE SHOW NOW THANKS (also i hated elizabeth so much) but anyway back on topic, when lewis went to go study in the US i looked up where the show took place and all that good stuff and i found out they were australian HAHAH and that started my obsession with accents LMAO the uk :’)) (i’m proofreading AND AUSTRALIA IS NOT A PART OF THE UK LMAOO IM SOO DHSJSSHS) also it is now one of my many goals (besides the body roll HAHAH) to go to mako island (that’s what it’s called right??)
about music, i googled stormzy and i might listen to a song of his.. LOL I WANNA GIVE IT A TRY IMMA DO IT FOR YOU NFDVSFSG lmaoo the german rapper had me cackling (autocorrect once again being helpful and said raper and i’m like nOO) i mean we all have that one person. can’t lie, won’t lie. my one (IM SORRY BUT AUTOCORRECT HAD “MY ONE TRUE ACCOMPLISHMENT” SITTING AND READY HDJSJA I DONT EVEN TYPE THAT wHAT) person out of my white soft boy with brown hair and brown eyes type would beeeee pete davidson. love me some petey. i was gonna say rex orange county as well lmao but i don’t really loveeee him i’m just in love with his music... and wanna be friends with him..... so 👉🏾👈🏾 (i never do that fdshsh)
oh my goodness, i love tattoos too- GASP what are you thinking of getting 🥺 i want tattoos too but i’m too indecisive to figure out what to have & where. especially in my family... idk they aren’t frowned upon but my mom’s not applauding the thought lol, if i got one it would have to be meaningful but i am absolutely in love with (for example) ariana grande’s finger tattoos !! they’re so cute and simple :’) i don’t even know if i can get tattoos? my skin is... interesting. not in a bad way!! just like.... idk how to explain it??? keyloids run in the family & i got a piercing once and it got infected soo :/ the doctor also confirmed that if i wanted tattoos they couldn’t be in color so LMAO
ONCE AGAIN THIS WHOLE THING FEELS SO TMI DHSHSSJ IM LIKE OHMIGOSH SHUT UP SHE DOESNT CARE JESJSKS
in regards to you not sleeping, i wanted to mention that dumb bird, what was the reason it was up so early aT 4AM???? SIR WHO YOU CALLING TO??? also it’s 11:30pm and idk why i’m tired???
yeah i was never SUPER into justin so i don’t know exactly what albums you’re talking about lol, i do know yummy though.. but everyone did hahaha also i listen to so much pop 🙈 i mean maybe... idk what would count as pop and what wouldn’t. that new person feeling though.. i get that. it’s like who is this new person..? i kinda feel like that with taylor swift (i was never THAT into her either though so it’s like oh wait i didn’t know you from the beginning instead of hello old friend but you’re different lol)
about the concerts, thanks 🥰🥰 that’s so sweet what you did for your mom too, it’s nice seeing them so happy like 🥲 awh AND GLEE IS AND WAS MY LIFE FOR A V V LONG TIME, i’ve been meaning to rewatch it for the longest time lmaooo but i’m just so lazy and it’s such a commitment... i’ll have to get emotionally involved again and idk if i want that rn. but i have a friend on instagram and she runs a glee fan account and it’s such a big part of her life i really don’t think i could ever be THAT obsessed with something. like another one of my friends loves tom holland so much that she changed her mom’s name in her phone to what tom’s mom’s name is in his phone (that was confusing lol) and obviously i’m not judging them AT ALL, it just couldn’t be me lol
CONCERTS LOOK LIKE SO MUCH FUN 😩😩 LIKE THE EXPERIENCE AND THE FEELINGGG URGHSJS i wanna see a few people live like ari and chloe x halle and- hmm.... idk who else FJDSJ rex orange county i guess huh anyway, the experience just sounds so amazing and the atmosphere is just ✨✨✨ yeah
aria do it do it do it do it do it- watch hamilton!! but with subtitles bc you won’t catch half of the things they’re saying without them LMAO (me and my family watched it and they all didn’t like it bc they didn’t know what was happening lol) BUT DONT WATCH IT AT 4AM LMAO ITS LITERALLY 3 HOURS LONG
yes!! superior peter fics 🥺🥺🥺🥺 and it just shows how much of an incredible writer AND PERSON you are through your fics that you can turn a blurb into 2k....... like what.
LMAO the annoying thing, sometimes i feel like i’m bothering people (like right now HAHAH) but i think it’s my antisocial side being like yeaa no one wants to talk to you like you wanna talk to them :’) idk it’s strange!! sometimes i get really ✨insecure✨ and overthink everything LOL like is this too long, im talking too much, i’m swearing too much, oh lord i’m a pain, all that good shit lmao so that’s fun:))
ALSO YOUR BLOG IS SO FUN TO ME HAHAK LIKE ITS JUST YOUR OWN AND I LOVE THAT!!! like you talk about everything and anything on here lol,, and i say that bc what you said lmao how if i was someone else i would want to fuck me so bad😭 i honestly don’t understand how i don’t have people lining up though..... but if no one’s gonna tell you... then you tell yourself, period (and sometimes telling yourself is fucking yourself HSHAJKS OK NEXT)
ohmigosh the realization you had that you graduated last year and are going to uni this year🤧 but the fact that you had a teacher who LEFT THE GROUP CHAT bc she was mad at y’all i- 😭 but yeah about your maths (i always wondered why you guys call it maths and the US calls it math. like i know so many people out of the states, not just in the uk that say maths) teacher- i saw this post that said online school is looking a lot like dora the explorer😭😭 “you have any questions?” 🦗 “okay bye then” lmao and please i love when tests have nothing to do with what you studied like ??? thanks? sometimes i get scared that my teacher will somehow find out that i googled everything? or like my answer is too close to the answer sheet or something. i get sooo nervous lol but i’m already past that point of not being able to do anything myself DHJS i mean i’m still learning like i said!! read the question, read the answer. boom. now i know the answer to the question and i learned!
THANKS 🙈🥰🤧 idk how else to explain my feelings LMAO i feel it’s cool that you find my dance lessons and voice lessons cool so thanks :’)
oh god not headache season 😭😭 allergies are the worst like it’s not even funny. is headache season just when the seasons are changing or is it like... all throughout the summer? cuz i love the summer lmaoo i love the winter too but i just love wearing as little clothes as possible LMAO
GIRL IF THAT BIRD DONT STOP CHIRPING- i am 100% convinced that it is the same bird trying to give you headaches and no sleep and it needs to stfu 😤 and pLEASE ur theme is adorable and pretty and cute but also it just feels like you? idk if i’m explaining this right or if it’s bc i’ve been talking to you for a bit but it’s cute but not innocent in a way that i’m surprised that you write smut and- yeah, that didn’t make sense!! but ur new theme is gonna look pretty too and as long as you like it, it’ll be amazing🥰
yessssss the fact that megan is gonna be ur pfp YES JUST YES
edit: ok i just need to 🥺😭 sometimes u make me wanna cry cuz i feel like you’re just a kind person. i truly mean this, the fact that you celebrate yours & others stretch marks makes me so 🥺🥺🥺 i honestly don’t know anyone who has said they want need more stretch marks and it’s just all very lovely to me :’)) OKAY IMMA STOP BEING SAPPY
#yes my fake tags are back #by popular demand #aka me #and look i have actual tags this time! #i’m seriously craving water ice rn....... huh #but it’s past midnight and i fr fr want a snack #aw man #i wrote that last paragraph while doing my tags yes #and i hope you become responsible for that anon’s orgasm #assuming they had one #and i saw your response to the tom thing and yeaa when they only look like that for something and it’s like aw bae be yourself #i’m gonna shut up now and find a snack but goodnight!! morning?? IDK #IF THESE TAGS END UP AS ACTUAL TAGS I AM SO SORRY HAHAHA #alright proofreading done and i’m gonna go eat cereal
okay i‘m on my way to a driving lesson rn and afterwards i have a zoom uni thing, and then another uni thing lmao. but hopefully i can reply to this in between because i‘ve been dying to talk to you since i got this ask dldjds💘💘💘 (i really like this heart. i had a 💖 phase for a while and now it‘s 💘 (seems like a very romantic heart but.... it is what it is idk dkddj)
^okay that was literally all i wrote before my lesson lmfao. just had the worst driving lesson ever dbdvsnylkxsksj i think i‘ve gotten too used to being good at driving and now i‘ve gotten too cocky with it 🥴 anyway i‘ve had such a stressful day and overall week but tbh i‘m already feeling better bc i can (indirectly) talk to you <333
omg i went to chloe or halle (i don‘t remember who out of the two)‘s instagram the other day and found out that they are not twins alejeleksjsksj but yes oh my god their voices are literally angelic and i can‘t wait to see Halle as Ariel (Arielle??)🥰 and omg it‘s literally 2021 and we‘ve only had......... one(?) black Disney Princess like it‘s about fucking time (I might be forgetting someone, I‘m not too familiar with the new Disney films, but as far as I remember there‘s only Tiana right? (who is literally a frog for 3/4 of the film 😭😭) so yes i‘m here for it too😌😌😌 (obviously she‘s not a cartoon like tiana ekdlek but she‘s a disney princess you know what i mean ddkjdh)
pfkejdj i‘m already overwhelmed with my parents i can‘t imagine having siblings too 😭😭 (sometimes i wish i had siblings but then other times (like after reading what you wrote dksjj) i‘m glad that i‘m an only child lmao like your brothers being mean to you and i remember when you cried and he was just like 👁👄👁 ok. like i’m totally okay being an only child sksjsj———and he doesn‘t listen to music 🤧🤧🤧 (although i guess that‘s good for you because at least he can‘t annoy you by listening to loud music that you hate dmdn)
okay okay i might watch wandavision then??? I‘ll definitely let you know!!! and yes omg i‘m loving tfatws (that really is so fucking hard to type omg) but same i totally get what you mean, i‘m not used to watching action series at all and every episode so far has been like a little movie so i‘m glad that i didn‘t wait until it was all out cause there’s no way i could binge watch that lol) and yes last episode was really intense. i‘m glad that marvel are talking about racism because (from what i‘ve seen) they haven‘t been the best in that department, and i‘m really curious to see what they‘ll do in the next episodes (curious isn‘t the right word but excited isn‘t the right wort either, like i‘m excited but in a neutral way ? i‘ll shut up dslsksj i hate that german has so many words that you cant translate because theres a really good german word that describes how i’m feeling but i cant think of a good translation ugh)
okay i absolutely need to watch lion king (and part 2 and 1/ 1/2 dksksj) AND hamilton, i might even do it soon 👀
BURGERS AT THE CINEMA? EBEEISNDBEKSK i‘ll come to the US just to go and watch a movie lmaooo, i think all the popcorn sizes and drinks are bigger as well, i‘ll come and watch chaos walking with you 😌😌 does next week work?
and yeah i‘ve seen posts with specific time stamps and trigger warning for cherry too so if you haven’t looked on tumblr yet i’ve def seen some! (but ive also seen some on twitter and yeah- i mean idk youve probably looked on tumblr but yeah- then there’s also imdb which doesn’t have time stamps i believe but quite specific warnings, mostly without spoilers!)
Tbh i don‘t think i would have even considered watching cherry if tom wasn‘t in it... (i’m personally fine with most of the triggering topics/things like for some reason i’m just stoic when i’m watching the most tragic films ever dldldldlbut the plot just... idk if it‘s for me you know? just entertainment wise?).... and even with tom in it i‘m unsure skeldls, i‘d totally get if you decide not to watch it but let me know if you do i‘d want to hear your thoughts! <3
SKSLSJJ my sims both finally graduated!! i think i played sometime last week, and i literally got the achievement/notification that i‘d been playing with this household for 24hours.... and that was BEFORE they graduated dldjdldkdksjjs
oh no my tumblr broke and three paragraphs of me talking about sims were deleted 😭😭😭
WAIT NO I TOOK SCREENSHOTSSKSK because i couldn’t press save so i knew they might be gone okay okay okay i‘m a genius
Tumblr media
*move out
Tumblr media
oh no idk if the quality is too bad to read... idk how good your eyes are dkdkdjjd (also sometimes it will be really bad quality for some but not for others so i hope that the you can see the pics in a normal/good quality)
Okay let me continue
OMG THE ROMANTIC AND SEXUAL STUFF IS THE BEST PART ABOUT THE SIMS DIDLDKJIkdkj i kind of miss how in the sims 3 they would be making out basically lying on top of each other if they were on a bed— but in sims 4 when they‘re sitting next to each other and everything that‘s definitely hot too 😌😭 or with hot tubs dkdkdk how one sim climbs on the other sim‘s lap before they woohoo (i used to make them skinny dip in the hot tub and then make out and woohoo so they’re like naked on top of each other even if you can‘t see anything- en e waysss)
Dkdkdkdj so @ Rindfleischet.. blah bla. so it‘s basically just loads of individual words put together/connected and that‘s a really big part of german. so yesterday i had an online Einführungsveranstaltung for uni (like it was a zoom meeting where they just talked about general stuff about the uni and i was really anxious before, idk why, but it turned out absolutely fine so) and that words consists of the two words Einführung (introduction) and Veranstaltung (event) which are also two individual words but you can make a new word (Einführungsveranstaltung, so in english that‘s basically “introduction event“ lmao) by combining those two words. there are obviously some rules like you can‘t just combine random words in a random order but you can basically make infinite words (technically). for example (i feel like i‘m teaching a class just skip this if you don’t care 🙃🙃🙃djdjdkdlns)
for example i could say Einführungsveranstaltungsteilnehmer (which is not underlined with red by tumblr because it is a grammatically correct compound word (i think that‘s what they‘re called?)) which is the words introduction + event + participant, so that word just means “participant of an introductory event“ but instead it‘s one word? i hope that makes sense? dkdkkdksks i mean it makes sense in german but idk if it makes sense to you cause idk if i‘m explaining it very well lmao,
(I just deleted a really really long paragraph that i wrote about gender in the german language and grammar, you‘re welcome slsksksj)
my capacity to think has now been used up for the week 🥴🥴🥴 i absolutely do not blame you if you just skipped over that part or can‘t be bothered to (re)read my awful explanation edkflsksjdjdj (again, i had double the amount of words but i just deleted it dkdkdlslsl but what‘s left lf my german lesson is probably confusing enough already😭i‘m sorry🥴)
so to answer your question LEJDKSKJ: it‘s really common to have long words in german, words that are just word+ word+ word + word made into one long word. obv rindfleischetikettierung..... is a very extreme example and it‘s normally just 2-4 words made into one! So yup i think that comes mostly from german and talking german and growing up here and going to school here and everything dmdfnsksx
i think the best part about these is the chaos yet we understand what the other means 😌— YES. YES. Yes. I love that about us 😌😌🥰🥰/ I love us. Yes.
okay but your friend changing her mom‘s name into tom‘s mum‘s name (was that right? Dkdkdjh)—— so Justin Bieber once posted something where you could see that his Dad‘s number was saved as „Daddy Cakes“ (which, thinking back, sounds very weird ekejjej) and till this day I have my Dad’s contact name as Tata (which is serbian for Dad lmao), “Tata🍰“ in my phone because of it 😭😭😭😭🙃🙃🙃 it‘s not because of justin anymore like i‘ve just gotten used to it by now but at first i did it because of justin lol........ but nowadays i don‘t think i‘m THAT type of fan of anyone- like you know how people have fandom names (Justin‘s fans are the Beliebers, One Direction fans are Directioners (writing that hurt my soul💔💔💔)) and I wouldn‘t consider myself a fan of anyone like that. like even with tom i wouldn‘t call myself........ does tom even have a name for his fans??? Well if he does, I wouldn‘t call myself that. Like i used to be such a hardcore stan for any celebrity that i liked and now it‘s just... okay, i like em. (She says on her blog where she writes fan fiction about Tom Holland — WJDJEJDKELSKSKKSNSNDXB🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃)
Omg rex orange county!!!!!! I don‘t know that many songs like I‘ve only listened to the album pony, but i love it 💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘
thanks again for what you said about my fics/writing I‘m🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Pete Davidson Pete Davidson Pete Davidson I‘m-🥰🥰🥰🥰 and I can‘t explain why. But as blissfulparker said the other day (i don‘t want to tag her and make her read through all of this lolll) “I like my men when they look like they are on the brink of death 😍“ (or something along the lines of that) eskkejs okay pete isn‘t that bad, he looks quite good on some days but other days you‘re like... is this man alive? Like i don‘t want to be mean I love Pete so much The King of Staten Island is literally my favourite film ever (although it‘s not my #1 because of how he looks, but i mean he does look good) VUT ALSO
(Okay i was gonna look for a terrible picture of him but he really doesn‘t look as bad as people say??? like. i think he‘s hot. can‘t necessarily explain why. so that‘s that on that.)
i‘m not going chronologically right now (i just keep scrolling up to your ask and replying to whatever i see first sksksksh) so i might miss a thing or two that you said
Okay Stormzy, you really really don‘t have to dkdkdjd like i think you said you don‘t really listen to rap, and uk rap is a whole nother thing from us rap because of the accent i feel like??? (That sentence did not make sense) BUT if you‘re looking for a few songs that aren‘t like RAP rap, then I‘d recommend One Second (feat HER), Superheroes, Own it (which you might know?), ummm maybe the song Lessons?, he has a ton of Lion King references by the way dkdjdj for example in Rachael‘s Little Brother but that‘s like more RAP again if you know what I mean?😭 and it‘s also like 5 Minutes long and tbh i only started liking that song a year after that album came out lmao but Rachael‘s Little Brother is possibly my fav Stormzy song, then there is Shut Up which you absolutely need to listen to just for fun dldjdjd like it‘s just pure fun and also a little funny lmao, especially if you‘re not British (i imagine so at least) cause he‘s like shuTTTT up idk dldkdjdldkjdhdhfjfbfldlsksksks
Vossi Bop is one of his classics, and then maybeee - ok so there‘s Blinded By Your Grace Pt. 2 lmaoobdjsj it‘s very (Christian/) religious but i like it a lot even though i‘m not really Christian (at least not practicing or anything) so idk about your views on religion but i do like the song a lot just by like the sound lmao
Okay so again you absolutely DO NOT have to listen to any, especially not for me dlskdj but I really do recommend the songs Superheroes, One Second and Rachael‘s Little Brother (and all the other ones i mentioned but if you don‘t listen to a lot of his songs you should at least give these three a try <3333) also let me know some of your songs? 🥺 like i dont care who they‘re by but i‘d love to listen to some that you like and Recommend 🥰🥰🥰
Okay so skdjdjdjddhhddhdhjsk... I used to watch all of my series in German (like H2O) bc obviously they were on german tv so they were german- and i knew that most of these actors i saw on tv were american and i was always SO fascinated that they all learned german for this show??? Like I actually thought they were the people‘s real voices and that these English and American actors were learning german so they could re-record the whole ass show and do everything in german dkdkdldjdjjd... i swear I thought that until I was like 14 omg. And then the first time that I watched H2O in the original version i was sooo confused about their accents because to me all actors who spoke english were American?? I mean MOST of those shows are American so I wasn‘t completely off but yeah i was definitely caught off guard when I heard all of their Australian accents for the first time 💀💀😭😭😭
@ math vs maths, math actually makes more sense in my opinion. like you have the word mathematics, then the abbreviation would obviously be math... why would English people randomly add the s from the end??? Or maybe it makes more sense after all because it‘s like plural??? Now I‘m unsure dkdkdkdj but i do say maths because that‘s how i was taught to say it and i hear the word maths more than math but yeah dldkdjs i think math might even make more sense (okay i just tried saying math and maths is easier to pronounce but again tjat might just be me, oh god i‘ll stop talking about that disgusting thing (mathematics).)
not the crickets and dora LMAOOOSNSNSMDNBS yeah that teacher was... a lot. a lot a lot a lot didjjd but she kinda liked me so she always gave me good grades/marks but the people she didn‘t like..... ooft. OOF.
Fksksjsj idek about headache season like i just know that i get headaches from the sun and i‘m allergic to only one.. type of...pollen??? (I don’t understand the science of that whole pollen thing and idek if it’s called pollen in english i just know sex pollen from fan fics😔)and yeah we have this weird wind that makes a lot of people get headaches yeahd dkdkdj. i loved the i just love wearing as little clothes as possible LMAO lllioool i love that i really do. i always struggle so much in the summer cause i never have anything to wear. i feel like i buy so many new summer clothes every year but when i end up looking for an outfit i don‘t ever find anything 😭 (so i just go naked— lmao jk jk) but i‘m generally not the biggest fan of summer so-
OMG THIS FUCKING BIRD ISTG, okay the first time i heard it i went to sleep at like 5 am, so the next day i was like let me go to bed earlier so the bird doesn‘t keep me up, so i went to bed at 4 am (🥲) and THE BIRD JUST STARTED FUCKING CHIRPING SO LOUDLY, so the next day i went to bed at 3 am AND IT FUCKING STARTED AT 3 AM and it‘s still there 😁 every. night.
and since you said you‘ve gotten used to my theme and everything (idk where this transition came from😭) so tomorrow (2nd april) we have our... wait what‘s an anniversary but for a month.? I think month is like mensus in latin OK NO THATS DEF WRONG DKDKDJ wait
Tumblr media
So Tomorrow is our... mensiversary💘💘💘💘💘💘 or at least from the first time you sent an ask. i couldn‘t find it on my tumblr anymore because tumblr is a bit of a bitch but i remember the first thing you ever sent (in an ask) was something lovely about my writing and i always take screenshots of stuff like that, and i found it in my gallery. and i took that screenshot of your ask on the 2nd of march so i‘m assuming that‘s when you sent it 🥰🥰 i feel like i‘ve known you for a week not a month like how is it a month already????? (i mean this in a good way lmao but i really can’t believe that its been a month wtf)
omg no you make me want to cry because i just love you so much 😭😭🥺 but about the stretch mark thing it‘s just.. it‘s not even me trying to empower other women (or anyone else who has stretch marks) to shake off these dumb insecurities that the patriarchy and capitalism have instilled in us— ok no it‘s definitely that too lmao. But i mean I‘ve always loved stretch marks, i‘ve just always loved loved loved them so much so it makes me genuinely sad that people don‘t like them. so yeah. i dont really know how to explain it lol, like i‘m not (only) hoping that people realise that hating your stretch marks is giving the men and the patriarchy what they want per se- (that made no sense) it‘s just because i love stretch marks and think they‘re beautiful and also sexy. idk dldkdjls and omg the fact that you called me kind 🥺🥺🥺 like i don‘t really have a goal in life or anything, but if i had to choose a ‘goal‘ in life it would just be to be kind. (i‘ll end this here otherwise i‘m gonna talk about being kind for 30 more lines—)
And please. Do not ever feel like you‘re annoying me or sending too much. never ever ever. I get so happy when i see that you‘ve sent me an ask. No matter if it‘s a long one like this or just a short one where you‘re saying something about a post that i reblogged or something. I love hearing from/about you and talking to you 💘💘💘💘💘💘💘💘
Tumblr media
P.S: i‘m so sorry for the tags you‘re about to read they make even less sense than this post, also i reached the tag limit dkdkdj but i said some butterfly tattoos look tacky... and the next thing i said was since we‘re already speaking about Ariana- I DID NOT MEAN THAT SHE WAS TACKY dldkdjsj, i meant since you already mentioned some of her tattoos lmao
#lovely anon#<3#ALSO I LOVE YOUR TAGS SM DKDJDKDL#i definitely (accidentally) didn‘t say something about every single thing you said#but this is so long already and i don‘t want to force you to read even more of my shite dldkdjsj#(i dont day shite i say shit but sometimes shite sound funnier)#*say#omg its too mate to speak english what i meant was i‘m sire i forgot to adress some of the things you said but i tried my best iwjwskb#omg adress (address? lmao) sounds so negative i mean i‘m sure i forgot to reply to some things- also *late not mate loool#omg ignore my whole german lesson i cant believe i actually wrote all of that wtf#but it took me like 20 minutes so i don‘t want to delete it 😭#and omg i hope you got to re do everything that your sims game didnt save and that it all worked out the same#😭#I NEARLY DELETED THIS ASK WITJ MY ANSWER OH MYFUCKING GOD MY FUCKING HEART#also i realised i didnt say anything at all about uni but i dont have any news like that Einführungsveranstaltung (😭) I went to was literall#just about schedules and credits and boring stuff mostly lmao#oh and tattoos!!!! it sucks that you might not be able to get the ones that you want/get any :((((( but hopefully you can at least get some#that arent in colour? 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼#so my parents aren‘t that supportive either like they most definitely wouldnt pay for it (even though they pay for a lot of my stuff lmao)#but i think in the end they know that i‘m old enough and they can‘t stop me and they‘d accept it one day so they‘re definitely not THAT bad#maybe your parents will change their mind over time? :(#or maybe youll just get one one day and ig theyll have to get used to it lol#so i want a butterfly (thats the only thing that i‘m sure about) and there are a lot of butterfly tattoos that look really tacky#but speaking of her i actually really like ariana‘s butterfly! but idk if i want that much shading- i have a whole album with like 35 photos#of just butterfly tattoos lol- i‘ll stop here tho. ldkdkd#omg im rereading this all and it‘s so messy good luck dkdkkddl#my tags got messed up and idk how to fix it#wait did i reach the tag limit and you cant even see half of these? 😭😭😭#i‘m so confused about these tags why are they not in the correct order? 😭😭😭 ily snd i‘m so sorry for dropping this post on you none of it#none of it makes sense.

MLQC- Reaction to MC that’s into Grime/ Favourite Grime Song
So, no one has ever asked for this, like ever, but I feel like someone out there might also be a massive Grime fan as well. So for those who either ain’t from the UK or ain’t that versed in music, Grime is a UK type of rap, least I guess that’s the best way to explain it! 
Kiro
Kiro, would be the most supportive about it, when he walked in on you just going along with the lyrics he stood in the doorway watching you as you went along with the music, waiting for the song to end, with a large grin gracing his lips, he’d laugh at you slightly, while crossing the room and gathering you in his arms, chucking to himself with his arms still wrapped around you while you hide your face in his neck, slightly embarrassed as the next song would play behind you, and taking a step back, with that same cheeky grin lining his lips, he’d look at you with those piercing blue eyes softly asking ‘Do I get another performance?’. 
Does Kiro have a favourite Grime song, if he had to choose anything he would have to go for the one he walked in on you sining the first time ‘Man Don’t Care by JME’, just because of the memories it brings back, and even if it isn’t something he wasn’t into, he’s more than happy to support you. 
Gavin
Gavin, couldn’t quite believe it when he found out you were into Grime, it seemed to completely contrast you, and yet he couldn’t think of anything more precious then you trying to act like you were hard with Grime playing in the background, the first time he’d heard you listen to it, you’d been working in your apartment, and he’d heard it playing, and leaning in the doorway, he’d watched for a moment, as you typed away at your PC, murmuring along with the words, you looked so focused and yet as the music played you were quite happily muttering along, and going back to what he was doing, he found himself shaking his head, a smile gracing his lips, muttering to himself ‘She’s lucky I love her’. 
Gavin, and his favourite Grime song, well, it’s an awkward one, because it took a while for Gavin to actually admit that he’d seen you listening to it, and then when he did, he noticed you were listening to it all over, it was no longer like it was a big secret, and as he got more and more used to hearing it he found that his favourite was ’Shut Up by Stormzy’, why? Because he enjoyed watching you when you listened to it. 
Victor
Victor thought you would never surprise him, and then one night while you were taking a shower he heard the beat ringing out from your phone, and for the first time he found himself surprised by you, as he heard your voice going along perfectly with the music, to begin with he’d thought maybe it was the radio, but from the way in which you were perfectly going along with the lyrics he knew differently, Victor knew you, and the music didn’t match you as a person, and yet as he watched you, he couldn’t help but smile softly, deciding to stand in the doorway and scare you when you exited the shower, he leaned back against the door frame, his arms folded across his chest, one hand in his pocket as the other combed through his hair for a moment, he just chuckled deeply ’She never fails to surprise me’. 
Grime and Victor, and picking a favourite? That’s like mixing oil and water, it’s not even close to his style, but as you spent more time around him, he got more used to it playing around him, and though he still couldn’t handle the harder beats at times, and the harsher vibes of some of the music, he found himself getting more and more used to it, especially after watching you, vibing softly in the corner, so he found himself not hiding at much, often trying to zone out the music, but if he had to choose something, ‘Theresa by DTG’, because it was softer than most of the other things you’d choose, but what Victor doesn’t know is that would fall more into UK rap than Grime, but sometimes you’ve got to give the man something. 
Lucien
Did it surprise Lucien when he caught you listening to Grime? He’d love to lie and say no, but it really did, it wasn’t like he caught you actually listening to it, it was when your ring tone went off, and all of a sudden the room was filled with the energetic beats. He gazed curiously over you as you picked up your phone, walking into another room, talking softly as you took the call, he felt the shock evaporate within a moment, of course you’d like something harder, everything about you screamed that you were softer, so it shouldn’t have shocked him that when it came down to your music you went for something a little bit harder, and still sat down, a curious sale gracing his lips, he was more than ready to question you as you ended the call, a soft blush on your cheeks, ’So, what song was that?’. 
Lucien, got used to the Grime as you started to slide it into your daily life, your playlist transferring from the pop music you’d been playing around him over to Grime almost permanently, but he wouldn’t quite say that he had a favourite song, if anything despite how much he loved you he often tried to zone out from the music, it wasn’t his style, but he found himself watching you, the way you enjoyed the music, sometimes finding a smirk gracing his lips at how silly you looked while you found the beat, and one of the times he found himself watching you closest, the way you moved and got down with the music, with the words skipping past your lips was when you were listening to ‘Thiago Silva by Dave and AJ Tracey’.

Tumblr media
          ( PARK JIMIN.  AGENDER. )  Aleksander’s coven is intimately familiar with SUWON YI, a dedicated Death Dealer for the coven.  HE is a 750 year old vampire known throughout the New World Coven for being DARING + GENEROUS.  However, those who are familiar with them also know that they are very DECEITFUL - CANTANKEROUS.  They’re known for being the CHAMELEON.  Though they are technically disbanded, they are still dedicated to their cause.
a dumbass biography.  tldr below.
          first, he’s a fisherman in jeolla.  it’s late goryeo, but the suwon of mud, huts, and nets doesn’t know this.  the country’s in chaos with mongols and famine bearing on their necks and all he’s ever known is the emptiness of land and the bounty of a peaceful ocean.  ( lies start simply here.  yes, to the tax collector, they’ll collect more tomorrow.  no, to his mother, you don’t need to worry.  i love you, he says to a farmer’s daughter, i’ll love you forever.  yes, to his sister, i’ll stay here. )  when generals ride through their coastal town, suwon’s one of the first to volunteer for the ranks.  ( i want to protect my country, he says before making his mark.  it’s not a total lie, though he’ll never admit it.  )  he doesn’t know how to read letters on a page, but he knows how to swing a sword.  fishing’s made his shoulders stronger than others and he’s quickly ushered up the ranks to a position of relative privilege.  a general refines how he reads people and soon, suwon finds himself in the ranks of a golden company pushing the mongols back, back, back. 
          second, he’s a vampire.  after years of fighting end in a tentative peace, suwon returns home and finds his home devastated.  not mongols.  a different breed of creature.  suwon goes searching for whatever ripped the harbors and huts to shreds and finds a band of paler faces with fangs and brilliant blue eyes.  one is his old general.  his world’s expanded in a single night and suwon’s given a choice: join, or die.  it’s the second easiest decision he’s ever made.  he feels more powerful than ever before and he follows the troupe north to the lycan horde.  he helps the slaughter.  suwon journeys west and doesn’t look back.  they’re an old coven, and he never feels home with them.  he feels his best with a weapon in his hand fighting an enemy with a face, and soon he’s heading his own army and chasing lycans throughout the continent.  
          third, he’s a wanderer.  suwon rested in a deep sleep for a few centuries and when he wakes, the world’s entirely different.  his old coven’s a shadow of what it was, and there’s a flourishing industry in the west.  suwon finds himself in england on the cusp of a new century and, lethargic, abandons his old post for something quieter.  it isn’t that years and years of war have made him a pacifist ------ he’s just tired.  he plays with the idea of starting his own family, gains a partner and a few fledglings, learns how to teach and care than kill and refuses the call of covens that ask for his help with lycans in the city.  it never feels right.  not fully.  but there are moments he appreciates.  theater and music, lights and laughter, card games and shopping.  his world slows down and it’s lovely until it’s not.  after decades, he finds himself standing in an empty house, alone, holding a carnaged body and wishing he could cry. 
          silver finds itself back in his hands.  fourth, he’s a punk with a plan.  a rebel with  a cause.  he likes living with the living, he finds, that constant burst of fresh air making him feel alive again and helping lead him to the tunnels where the lycans lay, and he follows unexplained deaths to every corner of europe and asia before stepping foot in the states just as the new world coven makes a truce.  suwon doesn’t like it.  not at all.  no one’s ever knwn peace and he doesn’t understand why vampries and lycans think it’s possible.  the new coven’s a weakness to be exploited, and so he finds himself here, in the city that never sleeps.  a soldier with a death wish, maybe, wondering when a war’s finally going to steal his soul back to hell for good.  or maybe he’s fighting to protect them all ------ he’s seen the devastation beasts have, tasted the pain himself over and over.  suwon doesn’t trust them.  and he won’t rest until they’re gone.
tldr ; fought the mongols, old school soldier.  joined a coven out of spite and revenge and was an elite death squad member.  hardcore grudge against lycans.  slept for a few centuries, woke up in the 19th.  tries and fails at a family before totally rides the vibe of the times and hangs out with the young’ins.  becomes a death dealer in the old coven.  travels all over the world and came to the states to be on the front-lines for when this peace business goes south.  which it will.  obviously.
a few dumbass statistics.
western zodiac sign : aquarius.  element : air.  sexuality : pansexual.  personality type : entj - a. “the commander.”  alignment : lawful neutral.  height : 5′7.  body type : athletic.  hair color : dark grey.   eye color : brown / bright blue ( after feeding idk i can’t remember how it works in the underworld verse ).  skin tone : golden.  
a dumbass playlist.

some dumbass aesthetics.
gucci loafers.  catnaps.  a low chuckle against your neck.  silk on skin.  mouth full of white lies.  open collars.  heavy sunglasses and sparkling ears.  rumble of the metro in the dark.  burning neon bulbs.  sly grins.  humid summer nights.  dangling cross earrings.  a fresh manicure and flashing rings.  loaded silver bullets.  old war stories.  smooth skin in candlelight.  blood-stained lips.  miniature tattoos.  homesickness.  ancient grudges.
dumbass headcanons.
hair color changes all the time.  still has battle scars from his time in the goryeo militia.  pierced ears -- need i say more.  obsessed with the lost boys and has very strong feelings about the ultimate trio that could’ve been david, michael, and star.  flat-out tells people he’s a vampire because he’s too old to be fucking with anonymity.  knows four languages fluently, but can curse in twenty.  can barely read in any language.  fuck walking, he’s always taking the public transport.  hasn’t paid for a drink in a hundred years.  the last book he read was fifty shades of grey.  before that, it was animal farm back in 1947.  gucci shades, valentino sneakers.  has a rug made of lycan fur he only brings out to piss people off.  dated michaelangelo before he was famous.  does one good deed a month, like run for charity or donate yeezys to goodwill.  raised buddhist and still kind of affiliated.  
some not dumb connections.
sired vampires.  a sire.  former fledglings.  fellow soldiers.  trained death dealers.  unfortunate run-ins.  lycans related  ( familial, platonically, or romantically )  to ones he’s killed.  allies who are also openly anti-peace.  suspicions who are openly pro-peace.  a lycan he let free before the peace, for reason tbd.  old friends.  former lovers.  a death dealer he goes on patrols  ( ? )  with.  neighbor who’s room is next to his at the coven’s headquarters.  a new vamp who’s bringing him to the 21st century.  a vamp he’s bringing to the late 20th century.  a lycan who’s really testing his patience.  a lycan who’s really going to make him question what he thinks of the world.  gaming partners at the local arcade.  competitors.  someone who annoys the shit out of him.  a bad influence.  a good influence.  a distant relative.
note : suwon is freshly arrived in new york city, but has been on the continent for about a year.

plots i want;
pen pals - they meet online in a forum about a certain fatal illness their parent/guardian has and  exchange addresses to send things back and forth to brighten their day. the worst happens with both pals at different times and they are there for each other throughout it all. this would  just consist of letters back and forth until they finally meet. birthday girl - based on birthday girl by stormzy. camille goes out to a classy club/bar with her girls on her birthday they have a booth to themselves but she isn't feeling it. a guy sees her and sends a few bottles her way, after wrangling a name out of the waiter that brought the bottles and a point into the direction of where said gentleman is she goes over to his booth and asks for a dance as a thank you for making her day. church - given camille's family background i'd love to play her as the rebellious preachers daughter who corrupts pretty boys behind the pulpit during mass, or in the confession booth, or in the pews, or even better-- putting the baptismal pool too better use. [ every day would be sinday, ha! ] galway girl - based on galway girl by ed sheeran.  on a visit to ireland a guy meets adventurous irish camille who is spontaneous and completely shakes his world. she’s crazy and quirky and unpredictable. and he is more than amused- oh hey! and she has an accent.

My initial thoughts when starting this project were to research designed album covers to gather inspiration and thoughts on what my final album cover could look like. I looked at online images using a combination of Pinterest, Tumblr and Google images taking inspiration from graphical design and fine art ones. When looking through these designs I chose my favourites and added them to a mood board that I could refer back to at a later date as I progressed further through this course. I feel the selection of album covers I have shown different styles and techniques used to create them for example the fine art styles of Billie Ellish and Lorde covers compared against the type design of Ariana Grande and Doja Cat. Once happy with my research and mood board design I continued to do further research into Artists that have designed album covers of their own.
My first artist Kate Gibb has designed album artwork for various artists but has a longstanding relationship with The Chemical Brothers, her designs are very colourful, and I love the composition of the designs. My second artist Matt Maitland worked with artists such as Michael Jackson and Galantis, his designs very fantasy/space inspired using layering and collage is very eye catching and inspiring. Third artist is Roy Lichtenstein using an iconic pop art style of design which is very recognisable, I love his cover for The Fratellis it suits the genre and the band as a whole. Fourth artist is Jimmy Turrel a famous graphic artist and video director. His style of work using a combination collage, screen print and sketching. The bold bright colours really stand out and the tears in the paper from the layering of materials and often repurposes found images and graphics from different eras.
My fifth and final artist I chose to research is Banksy. I chose to look into Banksy because, I like his overall style in his prints and his message in the current climate. He uses his platform to send messages and promote certain subjects his most recent design being in support of the NHS. His use on stencils and spray paint create a eye catching combination, I like his technique used to create the album cover for Blur and his design worn by Stormzy to wear at Glastonbury.
After researching my five artists I decided to uncover more information about The Recycled Orchestra of Cateura a Paraguayan musical group, which my final outcome from this project is intended for. I looked onto their website to learn that the group use instruments entirely made out of garbage and that Cateura is built on top of a landfill site. Favio Chavez the groups creator began using the rubbish to create instruments for the children in the nearby neighbourhoods.  I found this very inspiring and due to the current climate with Global Warming I think it’s a great idea not only to recycle but, doing it in such a creative way. Looking into the band this way I can get a feel of the kind of print I’d like to create that would suit the targeted audience and The Recycled Orchestra as a whole.
Reviewing all my gathered research for this project I was confident enough to start working on some experimental designs and tasks set by my tutor. The first task to create collage design ideas in reference to Jimmy Turrel and his work. Selecting my favourite Stevie Nicks I gathered images from Pinterest to digitality manipulate then print to add to a collage design. Using materials from my home such as train tickets, receipts, newspapers etc I collected and ripped them to create raw edges. I created 3 A3 style pieces using various images and materials combined, my favourite design is the second collage I made just due to the overall composition and images used. I was more confident heading into collaging this piece due to my first design being more trial and error but overall, I liked how the 3 designs turned out. Although using the same techniques as Jimmy Turrel wasn’t enough and I didn’t feel like my designs referenced his enough which is why I did some further development and digitally edited images using Photoshop Camera, my favourite collage to intensify colours and to create similar compositions. Following on from the collage I created some type designs inspired by Jimmy Turrel using the same effect I did on the collage piece.
Looking at logos and type design I researched an artist called Alan Kitching who is one old the world’s most foremost practitioners of letterpress and typographic design and printmaking. I like how bold his designs are and the use of capital lettering in most of his designs, I also like how the type is printed and the background is white. It creates a crisp letter shape which is also eye-catching. I designed three different type design using stamps, ripped paper and washy tape and red acrylic paint which is my favourite print. I spent the most time on my last design and how it references Alan Kitching really well although my design is inverted with the background having colour and my text being white.
My third artist experimentation were logo designs inspired by my chosen artist Banksy. Initially I wanted to reference this artist by using real spray paints and stencil designs then upload what I’d created and then edit further digitally like I have done in previous experiments. Although I would have loved to have done this, the cost and also the space I currently have at home wouldn’t have allowed it. So instead, I used the initial digital logo I designed with spray paint lettering and an application called Painter to add more spray paint and watercolour effect brushes to create my desired effect and I’m happy with the outcome I created. If I had longer on this project, I would’ve love to use spray paint and stencils in real life.
My final experimentation task was to research and reference the artist Andy Welland. A visual artist using bright colours and experimental compositions. To reference his work, I used an app called Adobe Draw to create 3 separate designs. This was definitely my favourite experimentation task I had a lot of fun using this app and the use of colours and a sporadic composition. My favourite design is my second once I created, I feel this because, I became more confident using the app making use of layers, in app shapes and colour themes. If I were to create another design, I’d definitely incorporate image layers to add texture and depth. I enjoyed using the app so much I further developed my Alan Kitching research creating digital designs referencing him.
Looking into different artist styles benefited me within this project as applied some of these experimentations and references into my final outcome the Album Cover. Before creating final, my design dabbled with Canva creating 2 initial designs using my imagery taken at The Kelvingrove Bandstand. My tutor set us a task to gather images throughout the project initially I took photos of items you see every day to reference ‘The beauty in the Mundane’. These initial photos were taken on my daily walks and commutes. Whereas with the Kelvingrove Bandstand I felt related almost too well with the next task referencing words set by my tutor which were chorus, orchestra, piano, music, note, conductor, concert, jazz and loud. Although I took these words to literally, I like how my images turned out with the composition, depth of field and viewpoints from where they were taken.
Having my images, experimentations and experience with Canva I felt confident enough to create my final outcome my Album Cover. Already using my first hand images in 4 initial design already with my final cover, I wanted to create something different but, still use elements from these designs I liked with my final outcome. I liked my images facing the bandstand and of the seating area but, didn’t want to incorporate them as images having done this prior. I decided to print the image and draw over details using fine liner pen then uploaded it into Photoshop Camera to apply the yellow artist effect. Using letter frames on Canva to reference Alan Kitching I added the image to each individual letter to create the type for The Recycled Orchestra. I then added different paper elements and ripped effects to elevate the recycled/rubbish aspect to keep in reference to my intended audience.
Overall, I like both my front and back covers for my album covers. Throughout this project I’ve become more confident in both my analogue and digital designing. My chosen artist was Banksy but, I felt when using his using logo style which my imagery they weren’t very complimentary of each other whereas the type design referencing Alan Kitching I much preferred. I’m glad I looked at my different options and experimentations first as my initial album designs look very different to my final outcome. The overall composition to the design I’m very happy with I feel a little more shadowing around the title would help it stand out more but other than that the colours and different textures applied make all together an eye catching design.

REVIEWING THE CHARTS: 27th October 2019
Tumblr media
Top 10
For the fourth consecutive week, “Dance Monkey” by Tones and I reigns at the top of the UK Top 40, which is still impressive to me as I see little appeal in the song but it is starting to grow on me a bit. I could see myself finding this pretty damn good in the foreseeable future, but for now I don’t really have a strong opinion on it, and my opinion could sway either way by the end of the year.
Yeah, this is a pretty slow week, as you can tell by our top 10, at least the top half. “Ride It” by Regard featuring Jay Sean is a non-mover at the runner-up spot.
“Circles” by Post Malone has a new peak at number-three, up one space from last week.
Up three spaces this week into the top five at number-four is potential future #1, “South of the Border” by Ed Sheeran featuring Camila Cabello and Cardi B. I hope this doesn’t hit #1 but I feel like it’s inevitable.
“HIGHEST IN THE ROOM” by Travis Scott is surprisingly stable at number-five.
Lewis Capaldi’s “Bruises” has a single push up three spaces to number-six.
“Outnumbered” by Dermot Kennedy has an unexpected one-space fall down to number-seven, probably thanks to the rise of “Bruises” and “South of the Border”.
I guess our first interesting song of note here is “Buss Down” by Aitch featuring ZieZie, as the song enters the top 10 after a three-space boost to number-eight. It becomes Aitch’s fourth UK Top 10 hit and ZieZie’s first ever. Congratulations, even if I’m not a fan of the song.
“Be Honest” by Jorja Smith featuring Burna Boy is down a space to number-nine.
Oh, and a shocking nine-space increase for “Memories” by Maroon 5 leads it to #10, which astonished me. Regardless, it’s Adam Levine’s eleventh UK Top 10 success with the support of his “band”, and I can’t really complain. The song’s inoffensive.
Climbers
There isn’t much here to care about, in fact there’s barely anything notable here. MEDUZA, Goodboys and Becky Hill are up 18 spaces off of the debut with “Lose Control” at #15, which was unexpected, but when the chart is weak and stagnant it’s not really a surprise that uninteresting songs will have success: see “Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi hitting #1 in the US. Elsewhere on the chart, “Playing Games” by Summer Walker with an extended version featuring Bryson Tiller is up six positions to #24 out of nowhere, and “Graveyard” by Halsey is up seven spaces to #29 for whatever reason and I’m not exactly ecstatic about that, the song’s pathetic.
Fallers
Our climbers seem pitiful so there must be a lot of fallers, right? Well, no, it seems relatively quiet here too, although arguably our biggest news here comes from the collapse of Harry Styles’ lead single “Lights Up”, which I found to be very disappointing and increasingly dull, down eight spaces off of the #3 debut to #11, which is pretty concerning for Harry’s new album roll-out. Also within the top 20 is “Take Me Back to London” by Ed Sheeran featuring Stormzy and remixed by Sir Spyro featuring Aitch and Jaykae, slowly making its way out, down five spaces to #19 this week. Speaking of smash hits exiting, “Senorita” by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello is down seven spots to #34 as well, and off of the debut, “47” by Sidhu Moose Wala, MIST, Steel Banglez and Stefflon Don, has taken a massive plunge down 21 spaces to #38. Other than that, there’s nothing to discuss here.
Dropouts & Returning Entries
There are some notable drop-outs here, most importantly “RAN$OM” by Lil Tecca finally exiting from #40, although I feel this might return to the top 40 sometime soon. These are pretty premature dropouts I’d like to say, although I may be underestimating the song’s longevity on the chart as these weeks do start to blend together. “How Do You Sleep?” by Sam Smith is out from #39, and thanks to streaming cuts and dumb UK chart rules, “Both” by Headie One is out from #13, but that’s all as there are no returning entries.
NEW ARRIVALS
#40 – “The Last Time” – The Script
Produced by Danny O’Donaghue, Jimbo Barry, Mark Sheehan and Samuel Tsang – Peaked at #1 in Scotland
The Script are a boyband turned semi-serious pop rock band, and I have no interest in them, but they’re always just... there, but I guess that also means that I have no complains towards them either. Using that flawed logic, I should be very excited for this new lead single and their eleventh UK Top 40 hit, but hence as the ancient scriptures foretold, I don’t care at all about this new single and there’s not much quality here to care about in the first place. This has actually been out for a while, and I understand how long it took to catch on as it’s not very unique, with some nondescript guitar behind Danny O’Donaghue’s pretty decent voice but not a particularly impressive showcase of their talents, especially since all of this instrumental sounds like a reverb-drowned FL Studio project file, yet the drums feel intrusive more often than not and the sequencing is off around the chorus, even if the section where the drums come in is kind of cool and reminiscent of the arena rock feel they really wanted to go for... but then O’Donaghue goes for a butchered triplet flow in the bridge... and, yeah, this isn’t good, but I don’t think it’s all that bad at least, it’s just I’m finding it difficult to write the description here, since there’s nothing out of the ordinary here for typical 2010s pop-rock. It sure is listenable, and I guess that’s better than it could be.
#33 – “This is Real” – Jax Jones featuring Ella Henderson
Produced by Jax Jones, Mark Ralph and Tommy Forest
Alright, this is pretty routine for us at this point. Jax Jones has a new single, it’s his eleventh to hit the UK Top 40, and it features a performance from Ella Henderson, who I personally haven’t heard of since “Ghost”, which is a pretty awesome song... but I’m still not excited for Henderson nabbing her sixth UK Top 40 hit, as I know she’ll make sure her performance is as generic as possible for another house-pop song. I’m actually pleasantly surprised here, since she didn’t, really. In fact, despite her vocals being heavily-processed, she does remind me of a 90s house diva, and I’m half-expecting her to belt “You’ve got to show me love” in the chorus, the beat on the other hand is nothing really special but the keys here are pretty nice and do a good job at elevating the beat with its cheap snare crashes to something that sounds pretty uplifting. The chorus and drop here are really joyful, actually, it sounds pretty fun and... that’s all I have to say. The post-chorus is a tad annoying though, but this isn’t bad at all and I’m glad Ella Henderson is back at least.
#30 – “hot girl bummer” – blackbear
produced by blackbear and fmid
this song is already at a higher peak in the uk than “hot girl summer” by megan thee stallion, nicki minaj and ty dolla $ign. disgraceful.
oh yeah, i’ve ditched the capital letters this time. blackbear doesn’t need to put in effort, so i don’t think i need to. this song is a pathetic attempt from a talentless hack and nobody to capitalise on a genuine movement. but who cares about the politics and morality of the song’s existence purely to parody the #hotgirlsummer hashtag? let’s talk about the music. okay, it’s garbage. it’s a hot mess. blackbear appropriates the movement for a bitter kiss-off anthem, which he commands you to “throw a tantrum” to, even if this is far from danceable, in fact it’s a really mopey and slow song that somehow exceeds three minutes, which is impressive for blackbear, i guess. last time i talked about him was when “do re mi” featuring gucci mane was somehow a hit in 2017, and surprise, surprise, it’s equally terrible, but it at least has a memorable hook. here i’m left with very little to like. blackbear’s vocal performance, whilst heavily auto-tuned, is longing and desperate, making his posturing sound really sad, especially with the fake finger-snaps, vague “atmospheric” trap beat with a simple, lazy 808. throughout the song, blackbear just demeans this woman for three straight minutes, it’s really cruel but his emotionless triplet flow over this childish bells and synths as well as an out of place choir sample, makes there no excuse. Even with songs i don’t like that tackle this topic and vibe, like “i fall apart” by post malone, he doesn’t take the time about how he has drip or how you can’t “fit him in a trojan”. he has an actual bridge that doesn’t feel awkward going into that final chorus. he sounds, you know, awake, and has a lot of passion in his voice that makes his equally bitter and cruel lyrics sound meaningful, when they’re really not, but it at least adds substance and perhaps even context to the narrative. whilst on “hot girl bummer”...
got an emo chick that’s broken
..what. yeah, skip this song – it’s a pretty dreadful attempt at capitalising on a trend by promoting awful, worthless trap-rap, yet somehow it charted in the top 40, his first song to do so in the uk. again, disgraceful.
Edit: listening again that choir sample is even more egregious. like really what was the point of that?
Conclusion
I guess “This is Real” is somewhat decent in comparison to pop-rock fluff and... whatever that last song is, so Jax Jones and Ella Henderson get Best of the Week here, while blackbear definitely gets Worst of the Week for “hot girl bummer”, which just makes me sick every time I hear it. Follow me on Twitter @cactusinthebank for more musical ramblings and I’ll see you next week!

Chance the Rapper gets honored at BET awards plus winners
Like many awards shows, the 2017 BET Awards had its technical issues and was very long, but Chance the Rapper enjoyed the evening, taking home not only the best new artist award (beating out 21 Savage, Cardi B, Khalid and Young M.A.) but also the Humanitarian Award. "I just love everything about him," BET Networks' president Debra Lee said prior to presenting Chance with the award, making him the youngest recipient yet. Before Chano came onstage, a video played detailing his efforts in Chicago to better education and funding in the public schools and his nonprofit Social Works. A special message from Michelle Obama then played after, in which she told the audience she and Barack have known Chance since he was "a wee little baby rapper." The show's performances and special moments made up for having to stay up late on a Sunday. CHANCE'S GOOD WORK At the tender age of 24, Chance the Rapper was honored as a humanitarian during the BET Awards on Sunday for his work in his hometown of Chicago, with accolades from the Obamas to Kendrick Lamar. Former First Lady Michelle Obama delivered a taped message for the rapper, saying he was an "outstanding role model" she and her husband, former President Barack Obama, had known since he was a "wee little baby rapper." Lamar gave him a shout-out later on as well, saying Chance was just getting started. Chance acknowledged that the honor felt early in his young career. But he said, "My God doesn't make mistakes. And I like to think he puts this immense pressure on me to see how I react. " His wide-ranging speech, which he said was off the cuff, called out several institutions, including the federal government, the Chicago public school system and the judicial system. But he ended by saying he wanted simply to be a better father and person. "I am a good man, and I will be a better man," he said. MARS' LATE RECOGNITION Bruno Mars had a big night with his first-ever BET Award for best male R&B/pop artist, which seems a little late in coming for a star whose been putting out multiplatinum albums and hit singles for years. The singer though was grateful to the network for giving him his first-ever award, a Soul Train honor for the collaboration he did with B.o.B "Nothin' On You." "Ever since then, BET has shown me nothing but love and support of my career throughout the years," Mars said in his acceptance speech. Mars, who was nominated for four awards that night, kicked off the show with an energetic and fun performance of his song "Perm," with his band the Hooligans, all performing and singing in perfect synchronization. THE FEUD CONTINUES Remy Ma ended Nicki Minaj's seven-year winning streak for best female hip hop artist at the BET Awards and further extended a rivalry that has been going on for years. Ma took home the award at the end of the four-hour award show in one of the night's most anticipated award announcements. Ma, who served six years in jail for a shooting, thanked God and named two correctional facilities in her speech and told others that they can come back. "It's hard, but you can do it," Ma said. "You can make mistakes and come back." In March, Ma released the diss track "Shether," which was hostile toward Minaj and earned praised from critics and rap fans. Minaj never officially responded to the song, and she wasn't at the BET Awards on Sunday. Ma ended by quoting from one of her songs with Fat Joe and walked away with the award high in her hands. '90s NOSTALGIA PARTY The BET Awards paid tribute to two '90s era groups with extended performances of soulful, harmony-laced R&B. The all-female quartet Xscape, featuring LaTocha and Tamika Scott, Kandi Burruss and Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, reunited at the award show with a medley of their hits including "Just Kickin' It," ''Understanding" and "Who Can I Run To?" A lifetime achievement tribute to New Edition came in a three-part performance with help from the actors from the BET biopic about the band. It started with the child actors singing "Candy Girl," later followed by the older actors for some of the band's hits apart from the group, including BBD's "Poison" and Ralph Tresvant's "Sensitivity." Finally, the real group, clad all in white suits, hit the stage to sing together again with the finale for all the singers and actors together on "If It Isn't Love." THE SISTER ACT Beyonce was the leading nominee of the night with seven, but she was not in attendance. She reportedly had her twins earlier this month, but she hasn't publicly commented on it. Still, Beyonce had words to share when she won the viewers' choice award through a young duo, Chloe x Halle, that the pop star asked to pick up her award. "This has been a journey of love, of celebrating our culture, honoring the past, and approaching the present and future with hope and resolve," Beyonce said in the letter. Her younger sister, Solange, also picked up the Centric award and celebrated her birthday after turning 31 on Saturday. "My armpits are sweating so much right now," Solange said. POLICE VIOLENCE Some of the artists reflected on police violence against blacks during the awards show, which came just days after a police officer in Minnesota was acquitted in the shooting death of Philando Castile. Solange had a moment of silence for "the lives of our brothers and sisters that we have lost due to brutality and violence," during a presentation to honor activist Tamika Mallory. "Black-ish" actress Yara Shahidi, who won the young stars award, noted in her acceptance speech that the night was also the birthday of Tamir Rice, who was 12 when he was shot in Cleveland in 2014. "So in the midst of this celebration, I'd love to honor his life," Shahidi said. Actors from the upcoming film "Detroit" also listed names of black men and women killed by police and others, including Castile.

10 UK Rappers and MCs That You Need to Know About
UK rappers and MCs are everywhere. The friends who used to wince when I played grime are now in love with Stormzy and I hear Lock Doh played in the main rooms of clubs more than House Every Weekend (trust me, that’s saying something).
But the success of those at the top of their game wouldn’t be possible without MCs tracing grime and UK rap back to its roots.
From skippy grime and heavy baseline to melodic hooks and trap beats, rap and grime is no longer a pigeonholed music genre.
Check out our pick of 10 artists who prove the UK rap and grime scene is so damn exciting…
  MIST
Tumblr media
Source: djsemtex
MIST is your go to for catchy hooks and trap beats produced by  Steel Bangelz. Citing his hometown of Birmingham as his inspiration for the mixed cultural influences in his music, (his hit Karlas Back is a play on the Punjabi word ‘Kala’ meaning black person) he has a massive British-Asian following, performing at the BBC Asian Network show in February.
Every track from his first EP, M I S to the T EP (2016) is a student club banger, and his upcoming UK sold out tour is set to be huge.
youtube
  Big Zuu
Tumblr media
Source: rwd mag
Big Zuu is a rising grime star in grime scene, but really caught our attention with his lyrics over Dave’s piano version of Ghetto Kyote (see video below).
The West London MC is known for his lyrically clever freestyles and has been firing out new material in the last 6 months, spitting alongside his cousin AJ Tracey on Rinse FM’s Grime Show and his legendary Fire in the Booth freestyles.
His February release Ain’t No Joke, produced by Scam (a grime producer to watch this year) and featuring Drifter is set to make big waves in the grime scene.

  Cadet
Tumblr media
Source: rwd mag
Cadet gained national recognition with his Slut freestyle in mid-2015.
His gutsy Letter to Krept has also racked up nearly 3 million views on YouTube (those expecting a diss track were surprised at the raw honesty of Cadet’s lyrics, detailing how his cousin Krept had hurt him and at the same time helped to propel his career).
Taking pride of place on the Wireless and Reading/Leeds line-ups, it won’t be long before the self-proclaimed ‘underrated legend’ can drop the his ‘underrated’ status.
youtube
  Big Tobz
Tumblr media
Source: trapped magazine
After hitting the headlines for the wrong reasons in 2015 when he used the Walthamstow station knife attack to promote his music (completely bizarre), he’s overcome the bad press and is beginning to establish himself as a top UK rap artist.
Corn, his track with Cadet, will have you in stitches, and is deep tone and playful lyrics make him a big hit with the ladies. Just watch the fan video for his version of J Hus’s Calling Me if you don’t believe us.
youtube
  Stefflon Don
Tumblr media
Source: Vice
Dubbed the ‘British Nicki Minaj,’ it’s already been a big year for Stefflon Don, an MC who combines UK rap with bashment.
She’s made a name for herself on the BBC’s Sound of 2017 hot-list and her mixtape Real Ting, which features big names such as Jeremih and Donae’o, has seen her blow up in both the UK and in Holland, where spent most of her childhood.
The first single from the mixtape, Real Ting, was remixed with a verse from Giggs and the latest single 16 Shots has already hit over 2 million YouTube views. We’re excited for what’s next.
youtube
  YGG
Tumblr media
Source: rwd magazine
In a genre that seems to be full of trap and American-inspired beats, YGG’s (short for ‘You Get Grime’) sound is unmistakably British.
The three London MCs, Lyrical Strally, PK and Saint, made a name for themselves with their hard-hitting bars on radio sets and freestyles.  Their first single Okay sounds like it could be straight out of the bassline heyday of ‘08/’09, and last year’s Don’t Talk Like That has the same sharp lyrics and energetic flow of early grime.
Hailed as grime’s next best thing by RWD, FactMag, ID and Fabric, we’re hoping the people will fall in love with their old-school grime sound as much as we have.
youtube
Elf Kid
Tumblr media
Elf Kid started as part of Lewisham’s The Square, a grime collective known for their cult classic Lewisham McDeez, (with the music video filmed outside a Lewisham McDonalds, no less).
After founder Novelist left the crew, Elf Kid stepped up, producing timeless grime track Golden Boy, his energetic flow over The Square producer Lolingo’s remix of Amerie’s 1 Thing.
It’s easy to pick Elf Kid out instantly amongst other MCs (just check out The Square’s recent freestyle on Sian Anderson’s 1Xtra show).
As part of ASOS Supports Talent, Elf Kid recently flew to Ethiopia to shoot the video for Reload That, his infectious new track that promises to “take grime back to the motherland” – watch the video below.
youtube
  Avelino
Tumblr media
Source: MTV
After being co-signed by Wretch 32 and releasing a collaborative mixtape Young Fire, Old Flame, Avelino has gone from success to success.
His storytelling mirrors that of Wretch’s, but he’s more than held his own with his latest releases.
His 2016 EP FYO (Fuck Your Opinion) was supported by Rinse FM and his latest track Energy features two of the biggest names in grime, Skepta and Stormzy. Our favourite Avelino track is Late Nights in the 15, a chilled rap record with reflective lyrics on the struggles of growing up in Tottenham.
Catch Avelino at Creamfields, Leeds/Reading and London’s XOYO this summer.
youtube
  Izzie Gibbs
Tumblr media
Source: mn2s
Hailing from Northampton, Izzie Gibbs is proof that grime isn’t just a London thing.
He’s been co-signed by Stormzy, recently appearing alongside him on Sir Spyro’s Grime Show on Rinse FM.
Izzie has a fiery, old-school grime sound which has deservedly won him Best Newcomer at the UK Urban Music Awards 2016. His Jutsu EP features Mandem and Bark, two high energy tracks that will have your gun fingers up in a second.
His 2017 releases, Think About It and Lava Lamp, have taken a surprising turn away from grime and towards a slower rap sound, which we think Izzie does well, but we’re hoping he gets back to the gritty grime sound that blew up his career.
youtube
  Dialect
Tumblr media
Source: the city talking
Dialect is the first MC from Leeds to really break into the grime scene.
His Don’t Flop clashes (vs. Raptor Warhurst and Bilzar) have proven him as a top battle MC. He performed alongside grime legends such as Wiley, JME and D Double E when Eskimo Dance took on Leeds last year, and (in our opinion) smashed London MC Opium in Lord of the Mics 6.
With a huge number of clashes and freestyles under his belt, we’re hoping for more material from Dialect this year. We’ll be the first to cop an EP.

Does the Grammys have a race problem?
Following on from the 59th annual Grammy awards, many people took to the internet in rage about Adele’s 25 album beating Beyoncé’s Lemonade to the Album of the Year award. Adele, who was already having an emotional night, was overwhelmed and unaccepting of the decision.
“I can’t possibly accept this award,” Adele said. “I'm very humbled and very grateful and gracious, but my artist of my life is Beyoncé.”
Adele also spoke about the huge cultural impact the Lemonade album has had, and also the cultural impact it has had on her personally, saying "The way you make my black friends feel is empowering, and you make them stand up for themselves,".
Many people believe there is a race problem among Grammy voters; a black artist hasn’t won Album of the Year since 2008 when Herbie Hancock won with River: The Joni Letters.
Speaking to Pitchfork, the president of the Recording Academy, Neil Portnow, said he doesn't “think there’s a race problem at all”.
“Remember, this is a peer-voted award,” he told the publication. “So when we say the Grammys, it’s not a corporate entity - it’s the 14,000 members of the Academy.”
He then continues after stating that the outcome of the award is due to the thousands of people who vote, “We don’t, as musicians, in my humble opinion, listen to music based on gender or race or ethnicity. When you go to vote on a piece of music - at least the way that I approach it - is you almost put a blindfold on and you listen.
“It’s a matter of what you react to and what in your mind as a professional really rises to the highest level of excellence in any given year. And that is going to be very subjective. That’s what we ask our members to do, even in the ballots.
“Now here’s the other interesting part of the process, and we stand 100 percent behind the process: It’s a democratic vote by majority. So somebody could either receive or not receive a Grammy based on one vote. It could be that tight.”
Stormzy, a British Grime artist, has previously spoken his thoughts on the lack of diversity at the Brit Awards, suggesting this may be an industry wide issue. He said this to BBC Radio One
“It was such a great year for grime and underground music. I thought maybe this year it might get celebrated. You know when you've got that little bit of hope and that little bit of faith, and then they didn't. I thought it was such a shame. It's just a matter of breaking the doors down and carrying on."
Going back to this year’s Grammys, Solange Knowles has joined the debate, which is being discussed by both black and white artists, calling on those angered by the result to: “Create your own committees, build your own institutions, give your friends awards, award yourself, and be the gold you wanna hold, my Gs.” Solange, who is Beyoncé’s sister, won the best R&B performance award at the Grammys for Cranes in the Sky.
We believe Solange Knowles has a strong point and feel it would be fitting to end this article with the following quote:
                        “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
Do you think the Grammy has an issue with diversity? We would love to hear your thoughts!

Soul singer Ray BLK has topped the BBC's Sound Of 2017 list, which aims to predict the most exciting new music for the year ahead.
It is the first time an unsigned artist has won the honour - which has previously gone to Adele and Sam Smith.
"I can't believe this is happening," said the 23-year-old, from south London. "It's all just so ridiculous!"
Four of the top five Sound of 2017 acts are black British women, reflecting a rise of female talent in grime and R&B.
Ray said she wanted her music to "empower women to live life as they want".
"There are so many societal pressures on women, on how we should behave, and they're all based on male privilege."
The Sound of 2017 list was chosen by a panel of 170 DJs, critics and festival bookers.
Among them was Jamal Edwards, whose SB:TV YouTube channel has helped launch the careers of Dizzee Rascal, Stormzy and Ed Sheeran.
He said he was "blown away" when he saw Ray BLK perform at one of his club nights last year.
"She is the whole package," he said. "I know she's going to have an amazing year."
"Some artists have that magic about them," said Radio 1's Huw Stephens. "She has a real, raw talent that cuts through so strongly. She is the real deal."
BBC Sound of 2017 - The Top Five
5) NADIA ROSE
4) JORJA SMITH
3) RAYE
2) RAG 'N' BONE MAN
1) RAY BLK
Born in Nigeria and raised in London, Ray released her first recordings while studying for an English degree. She worked in an advertising agency to sustain her career in its early days.
Combining her love of hip-hop and R&B, she delivers streetwise, literate lyrics with a velvety soul voice. Her standout track, My Hood, is a bittersweet love letter to her home town, Catford.
"The south east is one of the roughest places in London but it rears the strongest people, and that's what makes us special," she said.
The singer has avoided signing a record deal in order to retain the rights to her music, which she releases on her own label.
Like an increasing number of artists, from Paul McCartney to the Pet Shop Boys, she works with a company called Kobalt Music Services - who provide "back-room" support like publishing and distribution, without tying musicians to restrictive contracts.
"I feel as though I need to have my autonomy for now," Ray told the BBC.
"There've been so many artists in 2016 that came out, who did so independently and experienced a lot of success. I think there's a new wave of people doing that. The industry is changing."
The winning soul singer, whose real name is Rita Ekwere, beat blues singer Rag N Bone Man to top the Sound of 2017 list, while third place went to pop star-in-waiting Raye.
Ray said: "I'm particularly proud to be a part of this year's list as it's full of so much talent, some of whom are independent artists like myself which I really hope inspires the next generation."
The Sound of... list launched in 2003 and has a track record in championing new and innovative acts, including 50 Cent, Haim, Frank Ocean, Ellie Goulding and Florence + The Machine.
According to the rules, acts on the longlist should not be well known - so talent show contestants and members of famous bands launching a solo career are excluded.
Artists must not have had a UK top 20 single or album before 30 October 2016 - although guest vocalists remain eligible.
Last year's victor was Jack Garratt, whose debut album Phase entered the charts at number three. He praised the "very diverse" range of acts on 2017 longlist, which also included agitprop rock band Cabbage and folk-pop ingenue Maggie Rogers.
"This list shows it is possible to have a great ear for melody and not just write the same four chords in different keys.
"2017 is going to be such an incredible year for art, especially given how terrible 2016 was for politics.
"We've all got a lot to write about and I think we're going to write some incredible stuff."
