Listening to: And in the Darkness, Hearts Aglow by Weyes Blood
#this was a transcendant listening experience#the instrumental arrangements were super lush and hypnotic#production took you to another plane truly#and lyrically she manages to balance brutal honesty with a surprising optimism#feels a bit top heavy and while they were pretty idk if im fully sold on the necessity of the instrumental tracks as of yet#but still a very cohesive and elegantly made album!#standouts for me were god turn me into a flower/children of the empire/hearts aglow#feeling a strong 8/10 maybe 8.5 if im feeling generous

Someone please make a Black brothers edit to the House of the Rising Sun.
“Oh mother, tell your children. Not to do what I have done. Spend your lives in sin and misery. In the house of The Rising Sun”
I mean come on….
#I wish I could make edits#please listen to this song and tell me I’m wrong#it’s a transcendent experience#marauders#the black brothers#regulus black#sirius black

Just found out the transfem singer/writer of the Avant garde black metal band I’ve become completely in awe of is the granddaughter of a billionaire oil tycoon?? And half of her family are ceos and founders of sports leagues and teams??? I would not have predicted that in a hundred years.
(The band is Liturgy btw please listen to them)
#ash.mp3#I listened to 93696 this morning on way to the airport#I truly don’t have any words to explain how transcendent an experience that was#once again chasing the dragon looking for weird experimental and fun music to make me feel emotions that don’t exist

succession is simultaneously a:
shakespearean tragedy
postmodern tragicomedy
drama about dysfunctional families and cycles of abuse/trauma
comedy about the absurdity of the ultra wealthy
surreal circus of repressed queerness
political critique of the toxicity of late-stage capitalism
trying to pinpoint exactly what kind of show it is feels impossible, and that's what makes it good – you can rewatch it and experience it from a different lens each and every time and i love it for that
#listened to an interview w the writers who were asked if succession is a tragedy with comedic elements or a comedy with tragic elements#and the answer was basically that they don't really think of it that way and it's impossible to categorize it either way#like there's no real ratio of tragedy: comedy it kind of transcends that at least in my experience#i think the architecture of the story is more like a tragedy but it often expresses itself in comedic moments#and there's the political commentary that underscores it all#and i dont think its really possible to separate all these elements they live together and work with each other#similar to how the opening theme is a mixture of classical music and hip hop and would not be the same without either of those elements#that but with all the different layers that the show exists in#i added the queerness point in not because it's like. a necessarily popular view but because there is a way u can watch it where it's just#*just like. everyone is so fruity and fucked up and repressed#and it's p much canon that none of the side characters are straight#and roman def isn't but i dont think any of the siblings except maybe connor are#and it's like wow this is like the dark twisted alternate universe's queer found family trope#(love it for that. btw.)#i talk so much in tags i should just make another fucking post sorry#succession#hbo succession#queerasian.txt

ough I wanna listen to saviors but I also really wanna wait until my cassette gets here so I can experience it in a cool cassette lover way
#i wanna have that transcendent experience of laying in my bed with my crappy fake walkman style headphones#listening the cassette play with all the fizzles and the buzz and the sound of my cassette player trying it's absolute best#after being around for like 40 years#i just want to experience it like that#and yeah i can only hear it in one ear and i don't know how fix that#but it's a part of the experience man#green day#cassettes stuff

#senyawa#istana#music library#*upl#. i'm terrible at describing music but suffice to say this resonated on first listen (production alone i don't understand a word ofc)#hearing this live would be a transcendent experience i think#indonesian experimental band from an anthology part of the ‘sound mapping project’ curated by an italian dark ambient artist

There’s nothing quite like that feeling of listening to an album for the first time and knowing immediately that it will become embedded into your very being. Not yet fully seeing how it will be the soundtrack for your mornings and afternoons and evenings, but anticipating the inevitable and familiar ways it will envelop and intertwine with your quotidian life, like all of your favorites have. The way you understand, because it’s happened before, that soon you will know every word, every note, every breath, every inflection, as if it’s always been a part of you. That first time it’s fresh and vibrant and new, but you already know that soon it will be familiar and comforting — even, eventually, nostalgic. You already know that you’ll be singing along on some random Tuesday while doing the dishes, or dancing around to its familiar rhythms in your living room six months from now. Even from the very first time you press play and sit in grinning, wide-eyed thrill, or listen quietly, letting the lyrics wash over you, you know that this album, this art, this declaration from one soul, seemingly meant specifically for yours, is already carving out its place in your heart, as if it’s always had a place there.
#anyway this is about hozier#the first time listening to unreal unearth was nearly transcendent#but the real joy of it will come in the next days weeks months years#when it’s familiar and embedded in the day-to-day#what an achievement this album is#and what a gift to get to experience it#hozier#unreal unearth#music

desperately need someone to introduce mitski to skug. no i will not be elaborating.
#skulduggery pleasant#shitpost#im still full of feelings#so many mitski lyrics work so good for him#and theyd work better if derek wasnt a COWARD and he actually adressed skugs stuff /hj#“please dont say you love me”#MMMM#first love/late spring is especially giving me feelings#and francis forever#and i bet on losing dogs#all im saying is i think skug would have a transcendent experience if he listened to a bunch of mitski#i realise i did elaborate#dammit#if you want more specific lyrics let me know#or suggest ones that remind you of he. absolutely do that too if you wish#excuse my rambling
