Did Taylor and Matty meet on Myspace? (And other early coincidences!)

Early on in their careers, Taylor and Matty both utilized Myspace as a way to promote their music. Taylor, specifically, would message with other teenagers on Myspace:

"I'd post my songs on my MySpace and, yes, MySpace, and would message with other teenagers like me who loved country music, but just didn't have anyone singing from their perspective."

Matty, too, described himself as "King of Myspace" when he was fifteen. But he brought it up more recently on the Ion Pack Podcast, even mentioning his age as seventeen at the time. And here's a retro clip of Taylor talking about how she wasn't some corporate entity on Myspace, if you messaged her account, you were talking to her! She also filled out her profile in her own words.

She has some things in her profile that might've caught Matty's eye, a fellow teenage country fan and fan of American music specifically, that might've emboldened him to message her:

"I love people who like my music. I love people who are nice to me. I like people who are excitable. I think it's endearing when people cry when they're happy. I'm pretty excitable too. Guys don't ask me out because they know I'll write songs about them. But I'm also the girl who still believes prince charming exists somewhere out there -- fully equipped with great hair and an immature sense of humor. I'm fascinated by black and white pictures. I like people who can be sarcastic and laugh about tense situations. I'm a fan of fans."

Say whatever you will about Matty, but that man is a genuine fan of Taylor's music. When he became a fan is open for discussion, but let's just pretend, for fun, that he found her via Myspace early on in her career.

Now, here is the old Myspace page for The 1975 back when they were known as 'Drive Like I Do' in 2008. Note the James Taylor in the list of Influences! (as well as the Jamie Squire in the top 8! How sweet, I'm sobbing!)

Taylor was a bit of a firecracker on Myspace (and not just there, there's a whole conspiracy theory she used to troll 4Chan!). A few of her comments were screenshotted and you can find them around the internet. Here are some. The one from October 31st, 2005 about a queer fellow ("I'm sorry that I'm kinda queer, it's not as weird as it appears") with a Sex van ("take your shoes off in the back of my van") really caught my eye, anyway…

"Listen my queer fellow. I thinketh we shall hangeth out sometime soon, eh? yes, I do believe I am growing fond of this idea. drive over in your sex van and come pick me up, farewell knave."

Notice the spelling here, too. Thinketh? Hangeth? Knave? Feels a little bit Shakespearean, at least for say, a fifteen-going-on-sixteen-year-old girl (as we would later discover, Love Story and Robbers were both inspired by Romeo and Juliet, both written around the same time so far as I know, but it's hard to find exact dates!)

Matty, by the way, used to refer to himself as the "Prince of the Tyne". He's also got some old Drive Like I Do lyrics from 'We Are the Streetfighters' that are suspicious to me: "Well in four thousand miles we'll meet you" (The nearest airport to Macclesfield is in Manchester, and the distance between Manchester and Nashville? Roughly 4000 miles)

Two months later on December 21st, 2005, just after turning 16, Taylor says she's in England.

Did they meet? Who knows! But there's enough weirdness there to make me wonder. Speaking of weirdness… we're going to go on a side tangent about Fearless, but that's part of the puzzle, so bear with me…

I don't know about anyone else, but when I saw Matty's Fearless Love Gaze™, I was rocked to my core! Men do not look at women like that, but especially not brand-new flings. They're too concerned with trying to look cool and unaffected. For most men (stereotypically), romance and love are "dumb" and "stupid" and perceived as a "woman thing" that men can't be bothered with. But not Matty. Matty was utterly transfixed by her. Something about that touch of mischief in the lip bite when she says the bit about "absentmindedly making me want you", the way he just barely mouths along to the words at the end of the clip, well… sirens started going off for me. So, I followed my intuition and started researching all of this.

Now, Taylor wrote the song 'Fearless' sometime in 2006. The hidden message liner note for Fearless? "I loved you before I met you". Taylor describes 'Fearless' as a song she wrote about a perfect first date she hadn't had yet, about something she didn't have but dreamt of. She debuted it for the first time on April 6th, 2007 in Reading, PA (if you don't already know it, that's two days before Matty's 18th birthday). At this show, she debuted 'Sparks Fly' (yes, in 2007! Original lyrics were brown eyes rather than green eyes, by the way) and 'Tied Together With A Smile'. She also played a cover of John Waite's song 'Missing You' which seems to be about a long-distance relationship: "And it's my heart that's breakin' down this long distance line tonight"

Speaking of Matty's birthday, the release of Fearless TV happened to coincide with Matty's birthday! She dropped a sneak peek of Fearless on his birthday in 2021, and the album would release one day later on the ninth (perhaps because albums release on Fridays and that's as close as she could get?)

Taylor describes the Fearless album as her diary from when she was seventeen (misplaced my source on that quote, d'oh!) That said, 'Love Story' interests me as well. There are some interesting facts about Love Story:

Hidden message: Someday, I'll find this. Taylor wrote this song in a very short amount of time after her parents had told her that she couldn't be with the person she wanted to be with. And in her own words:

"'Love Story' is actually about a guy that I almost dated. But when I introduced him to my family and my friends, they all said they didn't like him. All of them! For the first time, I could relate to that Romeo-and-Juliet situation where the only people who wanted them to be together were them. That's the most romantic song I've written, and it's not even about a person I really dated."

Taylor's UK television debut (like first time ever performing on TV in the UK) was on Loose Women (Matty's mother's show). Now, Denise was not there during this period as a host, but she had been before that and would be afterward, so maybe there's some significance? Maybe not. But if Taylor and Matty knew each other, he would definitely get to be in the audience to see her if he wanted to. The song she chose to perform was 'Love Story'.

Now, 'Robbers' is also based on Romeo and Juliet (and also written circa 2007), and Matty describes that here in a fan video from 2015. We'd see Romeo and Juliet imagery pop up again in 2014, both in Taylor's video for Blank Space (where she's on a balcony looking down at her lover) and in November where she stood up on a balcony at Matty's show as he serenaded her with Fallingforyou (visual comparisons here)

Blank Space, too, might reference Fallingforyou. There's a scene where she rides bikes with her lover inside her enormous house, perhaps reminiscent of Matty's lyric: "All we need's my bike and your enormous house":

Matty even dresses a bit like the lover from 'Love Story' music video at the 2017 BRITs:

When you fall down the Myspace rabbit hole, you start noticing other strange similarities in their lyrics - like Matty referring to a "girl on the screen" in 'If You're Too Shy', which perhaps parallels Taylor's "guy on the screen" in 'Karma'. In 'The 1' (another song that lyrically parallels 'Robbers'), Taylor imagines "the 1 that got away" meeting a woman on the internet and taking her home, which might be another reference to Matty, perhaps lyrically paralleling The 1975's 'Playing On My Mind'. This theory, of course, makes the entire album 'A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships' suspect, especially given that 'Be My Mistake' is a song Matty wrote "about Nashville", the striking similarities between 'Sincerity is Scary' and 'Me!', a song called 'Mine' that references the year 2009, and the inclusion of a Drive Like I Do track Matty wrote when he was just fifteen years old, '102' (the same age he was when he was "King of Myspace"). Considering 'Love Story' was written for someone who Taylor's parents disapproved of, it makes this lyric all the more striking:

"I hope this song will remind you I'm not half as bad as what you've been told."

Lastly, if Matty is the confirmed 'Cardigan' muse and if 'Willow' is the continuation of 'Cardigan' (based on where the music video begins), the scene where she gazes into the water at her lover could perhaps represent a visual metaphor for looking through a screen, no?

Back to the NYU commencement speech! I recommend listening to the FULL clip. She talks about: feeling lonely, chatting with other teenage country fans on Myspace, and then segues into her motivation behind protecting her private life:

"Having the world treat my love life like a spectator sport in which I lose every single game was not a great way to date in my teens and twenties, but it taught me to protect my private life fiercely."

All of this seems correlated to me (also why it's hard for me to reconcile this whole football charade! But for me, it's easier to believe Taylor here about privacy being important to her, and not assume that some boyfriend kept her locked away in a dungeon against her will or something)

Now, to tie this all into a very nice bow, here's a quote where Taylor talks about how she uses easter eggs:

"Easter eggs can be left on clothing or jewelry. This is one of my favorite ways to do this, because you wear something that foreshadows something else, and people don't usually find out this one immediately, but they know you're probably sending a message. They'll figure it out in time."

What shirt was she wearing during her pap walk with Matty? Think of the "He lets her Bejeweled" meme… She had on an NYU sweatshirt.

Now, could be just a giant coincidence, trust me, I know, I get it. However… maybe she's really hinting about an old Myspace pal that she has protected fiercely. I mean, she did seem to use that speech to easter egg/foreshadow YOYOK & Labyrinth lyrics…

Speaking of 'Bejeweled'… On July 15th, 2023 Taylor flubbed the lyrics: "Sapphire tears on Myspace", and then she giggled. Freudian slip, perhaps? But this is the woman who assures us that "nothing is accidental"... and in a song that mentions a "Top 5", no less! (reminiscent of a Top 8, perhaps?)

Maybe James and Betty were involved in a "teenage love triangle" for a reason, and maybe TTPD references "teenage petulance" for that same reason… or maybe it's nothing but a bunch of eerie coincidences! Who knows! In the meantime, I'll keep on clownin'! 🤡

[catb-fics]

I just listened to Bondy's podcast episode again and he said that the boys would always rehearse for shows in a small venue in Newcastle. And in this interview https://www.instagram.com/p/BzF6P8bFjpO/?igshid=NjIwNzIyMDk2Mg== Van talks about spending the summer in Newcastle and all drinking together on the banks in the sun. I wanna know how all of them managed to hang out together as a band in public in a busy city and there was never any sightings at all. Maybe its not that shocking that Van has been able to blend in for the last few years. Maybe people don't actually pay much attention to who they walk past in the street 🤷‍♀️ Imagine drinking in the sun and the whole band being there tho...

Yes you’re so right, I’m pretty sure on a hot summer’s day the pubs on the banks of the Tyne would be packed out with people! Omg imagine going for a pint and they were all there though!

I deffo think they could fly under the radar unnoticed a lot. We’ve all said this before, I think it’s only the really big fans that probably know what all the band members look like. Although I’m sure they’d be easier to spot if you saw them all together!

We gingen op bezoek naar het Memorial Museum in Zonnebeke en naar Tyne Cor Cemetery. Dit was in het teken van de eerste Wereldoorlog. We leerden heel wat bij! 📖

[trotters-4]

Dinsdag gingen we op uitstap. We leerden vanalles bij rond WO1.

We konden de kledij, wapens en slaapplaatsen van de soldaten zien. Zelf liepen we ook door de loopgraven.

We bezochten Tyne Cot Cemetery en legden daar onze zelfgemaakte klaprozen neer.

Het was een leerrijke, fijne dag.

"Welcome to the Theatre": Diary of a Broadway Baby

Voices from the Silenced

October 21, 2024 | Symphony Space | Evening | Reading | One-Night | 2H

In response to Dobbs, the playwrights interviewed twenty-five women who had had abortions before Roe v. Wade, many of whom had never spoken about their experience to anyone before. This reading starred eight giants of the stage and screen* who recounted these stories of shame, relief, pain, and fear. The stories pull no punches with its graphic verbal depictions of botched procedures, heartbreaking situations, and the risks many women took to both have abortions and ensure others could have them too. The play itself evokes visceral reaction, and while there are some clumsy structural things, activism theatre does not need to be a masterpiece to be impactful. In few years alone, women's rights have been decimated. This is what is on the ballot. The right to bodily autonomy. The right to equal protection. The right to live.

A filmed version of the play is available to watch for free, and I'd urge young people especially to take the time to watch it. We grew up in a world where Roe v. Wade might not have destigmatized abortions and made every clinic safe, but it at least it made it federally legal. The women who fought to get, protect, and enforce this right are so easily dismissed by young leftists who are just not aware of what they did. I sat next to a woman who would drive a van of women from Jersey into New York every weekend pre-Roe so they could have safe abortions in a state where it was legal. And she was so tired and angry to be back here in the same place all over again fifty years later.

Verdict: Why I Love the Theatre

A Note on Ratings

The cast included Jane Curtin, Tyne Daly, Sharon Gless, Amy Irving, Christine Lahti, Marsha Mason, Christina Redd, and Rachel Ticotin. And I am deeply in love with all of them.

Anthony's Stupid Daily Blog (695): Sat 10th Feb 2024

Beyond pissed off right now as on my way home from work this evening the fucking bike chain came off AGAIN! This is the third fucking time this has happened since I have gotten the fucking thing. I got off and set about trying to get the chain back on but the cunt had gotten tangled up in the spokes so it was going nowhere. I was only about a hundred yards away from my house but since the chain was properly tangled I might as well have been a hundred million miles away as there was no way this thing was moving. After twenty minutes of trying in vain to untangle it with the basic tools I had in my side pouch I heard a mans voice behind me say "You need some help mate?". It was a guy with a huge van and a toolbox who offered to help me get the chain untangled as he had driven past me and “felt sorry for me” (genuinely his words). As I tried to lift up the side pouch to give him a better look he said if I moved the wheel a little bit then it would become untangled which it did and I immediately felt like the biggest tit in the world for not thinking of this. He helped me get the chain back on and I thanked him for his help. I asked if he had his own business so I could give him a nice review but he said he worked for a big multinational company and he was happy to help. I didn't want to risk driving the fucking thing back home in case the chain flew off again only this time more violently and ended up slicing me in half like Trunks does to Frieza in Dragon Ball Z. Once I got this piece of shit home I texted Darren the mechanic who helped me out last time who said he would pop over on Tuesday night to see if he could get the chain fixed. Fuck this fucking bike. I knew when I bought it that it wouldn't be as reliable as a proper bike but I didn't expect that it would be as easily breakable as the Scooty Puff Jr that Fry drives in Futurama. The last few times this has happened I've been fairly lucky as the chain has come off when I've either been outside work or outside my house but if this happens when I'm on the way to work or in the Tyne Tunnel or something then I am fucked. Mam told me that I should just get back into driving a car and…yeah maybe she's right. I didn't go through with getting my car after I passed my test all those years ago because I Was convinced I would end up having an accident but I will only be using a car for work and not long trips so it's not like I'd constantly be putting myself in danger. I think next week I'll pop to a driving instructors in town and ask their advice on what to do next.

1-7 Littletown

Gisterenavond op de boot van het buffet gegeten, een redelijke keus en niet slecht klaargemaakt. Daarna me eens over de route voor morgen gebogen, wat is dat gidsje toch onduidelijk. In elk geval is de bestemming Durham en daar iets voorbij moet een camping zijn. Het zou de eerste camping zijn vanaf Newcastle, maar dat lijkt me sterk. Morgen maar even op internet zoeken. Een uurtje Wifi hier aan boord kost 4 euro en dan voel ik toch een bepaalde drempel.

Ik slaap vlak bij een autodek en elke keer dat het schip een stevige beweging maakt gaat er een auto alarm af. Ik hoop dat het steeds dezelfde auto is en dat ze morgenochtend met een lege accu staan, waarna ze tegen ferrytarieven van de boot gesleept moeten worden. In elk geval hoor ik het alarm niet meer als ik ga slapen.

Bij het opstaan zie ik dat ik gisteren toch meer verbrand ben dan ik dacht. Dat gaat nog wat worden de komende anderhalve week als ik de hele dag buiten ben. Het nadeel van de antibiotica is niet alleen dat je overgevoelig wordt voor zonlicht, maar ook dat je darmflora aangetast wordt. Dat leidt dan weer tot het wegvallen van de comfortabele regelmaat van een toiletbezoek per dag. Een plasje langs de weg kan altijd, maar this is a different matter (letterlijk en figuurlijk). Enfin we gaan het zien vandaag.

Om 7 uur gaat het ontbijtbuffet open. Ik begin met drie bruine broodjes, dan een bord yoghurt met muesli en tot slot meloen en ananas. Zo kan ik er een paar uur tegen.

Na de douanecontrole (wilt u uw bril even afzetten) fiets ik vrij hoog op de Tyneoever naar Newcastle. Aan het begin van de stad is een Bike Hub, dat wil zeggen een werkplaats, koffiebar met gratis wifi en WC’s.

De koffie is er nog erger dan die aan boord. Op de boot is een Starbucks koffiecorner, maar wat ze daar maken, lijkt in niets op de Amsterdamse Starbucks! In de bikehub hebben ze een indrukwekkende espressomachine, maar het smaakt toch echt naar oploskoffie. De scone daarentegen smaakt me uitstekend.

Toen werd het een 20 kilometer lange klim naar Consett over een oude spoorlijn die aan de monding van de Derwent begint, een zijrivier van de Tyne. Ongeveer drie uur lang door een prachtige omgeving met groene valleien en oude spoorbruggen. Het is best doortrappen over de gravel terwijl je voortdurend moet afremmen voor mensen met loslopende honden en kinderen. Een keertje verkijk ik me op de steilte van de helling en voor ik kan afstappen, val ik om en lig ik op mijn rug naast mijn fiets.

Maar tegen twee uur ben ik toch in Consett. Ik eet een boterhammen met kaas in het park bij gebrek aan een pub. Daarna komt de beloning, 20 kilometer omlaag naar Durham.

Durham is een prachtige oude stad, maar wat een verkeerschaos. Eerst dacht ik daar te kamperen, maar de camping is alleen voor caravans. Ik doe een belrondje langs de campings in de omgeving, maar ik krijg alleen maar antwoordapparaten. Dan maar een bed and breakfast voor een keertje, want ik ga niet al die campings affietsen in de hoop dat toch open zijn maar te lui waren om de telefoon op te nemen.

Dus nu heb ik een hele mooie kamer in York House in Littletown voor de prijs van ongeveer tien nachten kamperen.

Gelukkig was het niet zo warm vandaag en meest bewolkt, dus kon ik met lange broek en trui fietsen en is de verbranding beperkt gebleven. Alleen de ruggen van mijn handen waar de gaten van mijn fietshandschoen zitten en mijn neus zijn rood.

Afgelegde afstand 80 km

Gefietste tijd circa 6,5 uur

Know about the neighborhoods in Blackburn, United Kingdom

Blackburn is a town in Lancashire, England. It is an industrial town that is located near the River Darwen in the Northwest of England. Blackburn has been a place where people have lived and worked for more than 1,000 years. It was once a small village but has grown rapidly to become one of Britain's largest towns today. There are many different neighborhoods in Blackburn that you can explore when visiting this beautiful town.

Blackburn

Blackburn is an industrial town and the administrative centre of the Blackburn with Darwen borough in Lancashire, England. The town is north of the West Pennine Moors on the southern edge of the Ribble Valley, 8 mi east of Preston and 21 mi north-northwest of Manchester.

Blackburn's textile sector fell into decline from the mid-20th century and subsequently faced similar challenges to other post-industrial northern towns, including deindustrialisation, economic deprivation and housing problems. Blackburn has had significant investment and redevelopment since 1958 through government funding and the European Regional Development Fund.

Four Lane Ends

Four Lane Ends is a Tyne and Wear Metro station, serving the suburbs of Benton and Longbenton, North Tyneside in Tyne and Wear, England. It joined the network on 11 August 1980, following the opening of the first phase of the network, between Haymarket and Tynemouth via Four Lane Ends. 

Unlike neighbouring Longbenton and Benton, Four Lane Ends was purpose-built for the Tyne and Wear Metro network. These purpose-built stations, such as Four Lane Ends, Heworth and Regent Centre, had a definite corporate look of rectangular blocks, light enamelled wall panels, and black roofing.
