listening to perverts (2025) by ethel cain again and i'm absolutely in awe at how she's created this sparse soundscape that's also evocative and chilling. i didn't know music could do that before this album. (i'm a lyrics person) i am also still in disbelief that it's 2025. time is bullshit.

only five (5) minutes into my first listen of perverts (2025) by ethel cain, and i'm already terrified

listened to good kid maad city for the first time today. front to back. i was shaking by the time the last notes faded out. it's an incredibly powerful album. don't know if i'll listen to it cover to cover ever again, but goddamn. kendrick really did that.

oh my gosh, guys, espresso is really catchy! ... i know *sighs* i'm sorry i'm late to the hype, it's just, when a thing is super popular, a contrarian gremlin in my brain goes "no fuck u" and refuses to see for itself. it's a curse.

backseat freestyle by kendrick lamar is weirdly cosy to listen to :3

i don't think i've ever put into words before how deeply and how thoroughly i've been scarred by our systems of learning. and i want to create a system that doesn't traumatise while it teaches.

i've been thinking a lot about what i want out of life, in terms of employment and career, and i've come to the conclusion that all my various ideas boil down to making it so that other people aren't hurt in the way that i was hurt. which, for starters, means waging war against the education system.

i gotta figure out why looping absolute lithops effect by carrie elkin ends up making me sad, because the lyrics are downright inspirational and sadness is not the experience i'm looking for when looping a song with those lyrics

sometimes i forget that kendrick's a lil bit annoying in the way that all men are, and then he says something like "don't put your life in these weird fellas' hands, baby" and i'm just like 'oop, there it is.'

i was going to write something smart about the philosophy tube video i just watched but then there was a song in the end credits and it's my new obsession and i no longer have thoughts about the video. only song. cause now it's cold in amarillo *twangy and anxious guitar motif*

jaguar ii by victoria monét: a chill and cosy listen! the vibes are immaculate. very lush and smooth and luxurious. i'm a fiend for deep emotional lyrics, so i tend to undervalue a good chill listen. but sometimes you just want music to capture a vibe rather than tell a story. i'm learning :3

rekha bhardwaj's voice sounds like des ki mitti. i don't know why, and i can't explain it further, it just Does. [soil of my homeland]

can't believe shilpa rao's immaculate voice has been in my life for years and i didn't even notice. gulaal ost came out in 2009. i first paid attention to her as a vocalist in *2022*.

and right off the bat, ranaji is so Feral. "jaise bisleri ki botal peeke ban gaye inglis men"* is Ridiculously savage. *[as if drinking bottled water made him an Englishman]

album on loop right now is the gulaal soundtrack, and it's such a throwback omg. also, despite speaking hindi, i don't understand all the words, so i'm probably gonna sit down with a dictionary and/or my dad to figure out what all the words mean :P

pissed off that value-neutral descriptors are turning into insults. said "i'm way too autistic for this" when asked how i was doing at a loud party (overlapping sounds are a straight shot to sensory overwhelm and autistic shutdown for me) and immediately cringed like i'd said something bad.
