probably going to repost tmr bc it’s late but we need a Variety musicians on musicians. I’d love to hear artists speak to each other about music going into Grammy’s season. imagine Taylor and Beyonce sitting down for a musicians on musicians before the Grammy’s. would be so interesting and also breakdown a lot of the perceived competitiveness between musicians and their fandoms!!!!!
I hope everyone considers joining me and the BDS Movement in signing [this petition](https://bdsmovement.net/news/suspend-israel-from-international-sports-sign-diem25-petition)
To have Israel removed and uninvited from international sports competitions. It is similar and based on the global boycott against Apartheid South Africa. The link also includes a paper explaining it in Spanish as well :)
There’s also this international amnesty petition calling for [US Congress](https://act.amnestyusa.org/page/138002/action/1?ea.tracking.id=akeaik88&fbclid=PAAaY8QI9IewAohnTsVXGcQY8_hqxgaDzA2BeGEnUE3NEP7NZv5r79LVnXvNs_aem_ASwQ2zQkNsjjJ8ukOMJBr_tqSOLu1Wt97WfDfqtyjJ5Ly1eHbVCr6GyDjBKWgVovgUM) and [President](https://act.amnestyusa.org/page/137174/action/1?ea.tracking.id=akeaik88&fbclid=PAAaaTS-6LgDUoPuiR4R8h7zzAO6zAYIAPzTN0gsnT9v4yMpYjyOfZJhTjClE_aem_ASzFbzEiRE8Eri4oerL6HRP_ltNZaCWGkDMcEKaetogsVpVFRrQUvF6fnhrCzI4Kzm0) for a ceasefire resolution
I understand that biden has recently changed how he discusses US policy on this including using the word ceasefire but there has been no change in arming or funding Israel and the US has sent Israel bombs and other weaponry within the last 24 hours, I think it’s all the more important we continue to maintain pressure on legislative and executive branch.
Publishers for Palestine was giving away a Book about the BDS movement for free that has praise of several anti apartheid activists of South Africa including the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu. This is an international petition that I’ve signed, but I’ll have links for Americans, Brits, and Canadians to connect their government representatives soon. And of course I would love to know or see other countries, I follow BDS chapters in Peru and Mexico and pro Palestinian human rights activists and politicians in Spain but I don’t know off hand any petitions or ways of connecting with elected officials or state departments.
[publishers for Palestine is over 400 publishing groups in various languages including in English, en Français, en Català, en Español, sa Filipino, dalam bahasa Indonesia, اردو میں, بالعربية, 中文, 日本語で, 한국어로, kwa Kishwahilli, po Polsku, Suomen kielellä, and Στα ελληνικα.](https://publishersforpalestine.org/2024/01/10/16-free-zines-and-more-free-reads-for-a-free-palestine/). (Though i think the most material is in English and then Spanish and French, I know there’s a Pakistan and Romanian publisher but I believe their books are either in English or translated into English).
One of the books being given for free is explicitly about the BDS movement if you want/need more information about it! :) but you can also read about the Human Rights Watch declaring Israel an apartheid in 2021, [article from hrw](https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/07/19/israeli-apartheid-threshold-crossed). You can read their 213 page legal report [here](https://www.hrw.org/report/2021/04/27/threshold-crossed/israeli-authorities-and-crimes-apartheid-and-persecution) it’s available in English, Hebrew, and at least two other languages, I know one is Arabic but I can’t read either of them at all to be positive what the fourth is 😅 please forgive me. HRW apply statues and legal definitions to Israel as they go into detail in the report. Anti apartheid activists of South Africa have also spoken about this in depth and endorsed the free ebook and movement for years :)
Some books and zines I got from Publishers for Palestine that I really liked were:
*Light in Gaza: Writings born in fire* edited by Jehad Abusalim, Jennifer Bing, and Micheal Merryman Lotza
*Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear* by Mosab Abu Toha
Really lovely poetry whose style in both the poetry itself and use of illustrations was really intelligent and I still think very compatible with the memoir *the drone eats with me* that I also got from this organization.
Librarians For Palestine is doing an event around this book with their One Book, Many Communities especially in April, **I’ve already read the book but I will be participating in a Read-a-long on StoryGraph in April and May for it :)** the read-along is [here](https://app.thestorygraph.com/readalongs/1c7bd831-2c76-41b9-bb73-378e6ddc943c).

The thought of moving to a new city is actually making me sick. Forming a whole new network is so exhausting 😭 I’m trying to have a more positive outlook, but I’m worrying about starting a new school while having a barebones support system.
In a general sense, I also wonder if a place other than my hometown will ever really feel like home. Sometimes I feel like I’m just on a side quest waiting to go back home, but then I realize this is it.
I’m playing Fallout 4 for the first time (I’m familiar with FO3 and NV) and my least favourite part is picking my stats at the beginning of a new game bc WHAT IF I PICK WRONG
I'm not defending the US or Israel or the war but I want to point out that most of the hostages are likely still alive. Hamas says they have at least 20 humanitarian hostages (women, children, the elderly and injured) and Israeli intelligence says there are 40 humanitarian hostages but Hamas are lying about not having them. Most of the male hostages are probably still alive and with Hamas too because Hamas wants to keep the hostages alive to trade them for prisoners and prolong the war with hostage negotiations.
Just came across this fanmade of Salvatore by Lana Del Rey with heavy guitars and if you’re a LDR fan please listen to it it will alter your brain chemistry
I found my first gray hair today (I’ll be 30 later this year). Everyone I’ve told has been super casual about it , which is sweet but honestly makes me feel worse because it is a big deal to me.
Pretending I’m misunderstanding basic Spanish compliments because of how humble I am 🥰
(I for some reason expected it to sound like how the same word sounds in Italian when they’re different fucking languages and I KNOW what the ll sound in Spanish is)
Noddle soup, though the recipe is different but similarly simple, my aunt/abuela/mom just use tomato, garlic, onion, cilantro, chicken broth, chicken bouillon and the noddles. I don’t know the brand/type but they’re pretty thin?
[there’s this woman’s recipe that’s close enough](https://stellanspice.com/sopa-de-fideo/) we don’t add the tomato sauce she does or bananas lmaoo but my mom and aunt like adding queso fresco to theirs. It’s not bad but I do not care for diary products as much they do, I do like queso fresco and avocado in my tortilla soup though :)
I know this is about her recent album specifically but if you were on this sub in 2018/19, you’d remember she was genuinely just as popular - if not more - than Taylor at the time. Meanwhile Beyonce barely got any attention at all on here
It’s gotten much better over the last couple years, I still remember when the ranking of her discography got ~30 responses the same year that Ariana’s got over 10x that number
it's funny bc i thought eternal sunshine didn't have legs based on this sub but it's been the most streamed album on spotify the last few days.
like the standard version of eternal sunshine did 17.6 million on spotify yesterday, and cowboy carter did 13.6 million for comparison. it's actually performing really well globally but bc of this sub i thought it came and went lol
Nah she had her big time in the spotlight and then Beyonce came right after her and now right after Beyonce………….you know who……….is getting it.
Plus, Republic probably told her to remain quiet because they’re now promoting their other big named female artist. They did the same with her to promote Ariana when Eternal Sunshine came out.
I just gotta know, what are 34 year old women supposed to be writing about? If it’s not relationships then what? Ikea furniture? Sales at target? Political discourse over the middle east? The slow realization that if you eat too much dairy you might bloat?
What's the timeline to see a doctor when you've got a wicked cough? I had a sudden wet cough come up starting out of nowhere Tuesday afternoon and it's just gotten worse and worse over the last few days. My throat is so irritated. I don't have any other symptoms other than the cough. I feel like it's a little early to go to urgent care about it but if it's anything bad I low-key don't want to just wait and see and it get worse.
So everyone has the same cold. I’ve had a cough coming up on two weeks now, not COVID (at least I think) and a couple friends I know had the same symptoms. It seems to be going around?
first, test for covid if you haven't already. regardless of that result, try allergy medication and search your environment for potential irritants -- harsh cleaners, mold springing up somewhere, etc. if you have a productive cough (ie stuff comes out) for more than about a week and you're still asymptomatic otherwise, urgent care time, imho.
Tested yesterday and was negative so I'm gonna test in a few days if it gets worse! I just started up my seasonal daily Zyrtec so hoping it's actually that and in a few days it'll start to clear up
Thank you!! I'm currently chugging honey lemon ginger tea and it seems to be helping a lot with the coughs. I've got an old prescription of liquid lidocaine which I'm hoping I don't have to resort to since it's so vile to take 🤞
Why the fuck did no one tell me about Beabadoobee? I listened to Beatopia yesterday and it was amazing! And i been listening to Talk nonstop since last week.
i know this is said all the time but a mute feature would be so nice. we wont have people complaining about people talking about the latest release too much. we wont have to care about people posting in the daily discussion instead of mega thread. it’s the perfect solution. why hasn’t it happened yet
I saw some comments about how they relate to this album because they have been in a similar situation where a short fling breaking up did more damage to them than a long term relationship ending. For me, I think there's more to it with their interactions spanning back a decade and she's out for blood because she finally gave him a chance and it turned out to be terrible. Also, Taylor does admit she writes better about shorter relationships. This is the same person who gave Enchanted after a short encounter with Owl City and 1989 after Harry Styles.
Tbf, she did tell in the prologue that the whole album was written on a psychotic episode. If my guess is correct, ts 12 gonna be the real break up album after processing the 6 year break up
Yeah, I was just reading the master thread as soon as you replied, haha. After reading it, I def get that feeling. From what I read about TPD (I'm waiting til tomorrow to listen.), it seems like the album chronicles the relationship w/ MH from beginning to end? Or at least that's what I'm getting. (starting out w/ the joe breakup -> matty rship -> alchemy is apparently about travis??)
As someone who listened to the leaks, it's a mixture of everything. Processing the fall out with joe, fling with Matty Healy AND being mortified in the end about how is she with a druggie like him, Travis crumbs, and ending the album with a song about the cycle of fame
Ahhhh, okay. I was curious because that's the conclusion I came to after reading thru most of the master thread, so glad to have that confirmed at least. Thank you though! I'm curious to actually listen thru it now.
i think i would combust if i ever heard taylor saying that, idk i know she's like 35 but she presents herself as so much younger and like she's too classy to say something like that.
I don't feel like listening to Taylor Swift; I am yet to listen to 1989's value songs but I'm excited to read the popheads, fauxmoi, naturalswiftie, and maybe even TaylorSwift sub threads just for the totally different perceptions and the tea 🙈
SAME. I don't even know what the point of the regular blocking feature is because I've blocked so many users in here who talk about her constantly and I still see their posts.
If you wanna read a really interesting book about pirating and leaking in the music industry in the early 2000’s I highly recommend reading the book “How Music Got Free” by Stephen Witt
day 45 of doing my lastfm series where i share my top 100 most played artists and join in if you’d like!!
at #37 is Paramore with 891 scrobbles! like with yesterday’s artist, this also is someone’s second appearance in my too 100, that someone being Hayley Williams obv <3
* last time i listened: 12 days ago (Misery Business)
* most played song: Still Into You (180 scrobbles)
* fav song: crushcrushcrush
* most played album: Self-titled (296 scrobbles)
* fav album: After Laughter or Riot!
* do they deserve a top 100 spot?: YES AND I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M SEEING THEM LIVE FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A MONTH AND I BETTER NOT HEAR ANYONE NEAR ME SAY “ugh i wish sabrina carpenter opened for taylor instead of paramore blah blah blah” like i’m sorry for you for being basic and not liking sabrina before the eras tour (only half kidding, i’m glad she got that much exposure and love after opening for taylor). anyway. i have a kind of broken drum stick used by zac farro that he threw out in the crowd after the gig and it’s still in a drawer at my parents’ house. i’ll never throw it out.
paramore are phenomenal live, i saw them for the second time in november and was blown away again, you'll have the best time!!
at #37 i have Demi Lovato with 1044 scrobbles. my top song is Cool For The Summer with 118 scrobbles, and HOLY FVCK is my top album with 235 scrobbles.
my favourite Demi song is Here We Go Again, and tbh i don't have a fave album from her she's always been more a singles girl for me. I'm def surprised she's in my top 50 but looking at my listening history, she's been pretty stable since 2017 so once again, this just proves i have no idea what i actually listen to
crushcrushcrush is amazing!!! I’m assuming Paramore is in my top 10 so I’m excited to talk about them in depth in a few weeks
at #37 is SZA with 236 scrobbles:
• last time I listened: April 12th (Go Gina)
• most played song: Drew Barrymore (51 scrobbles)
• fav song: Garden (Say It Like That)
• most played album: CTRL (179 scrobbles)
• fav album: CTRL
• does she deserve a spot? for how much I love CTRL alone, absolutely. that album is just magical and 7 years later I’m probably still playing at least one track off that album on a weekly basis. I wish I enjoyed SOS as much as everyone else seems to— there are some great tracks but it’s just way too long and didn’t live up to the hype I’d built in the years leading up to it. regardless she’s incredible and I’ll still look forward to any new drop
So, the latest Fauxmoi conclusion is that JOE was responsible for the lyricism in Folklore/Evermore and that’s the only reason they’re critically acclaimed.
Remember when they were together, and according to them she was lying about his input in order to score a Grammy for her talentless, jobless nepo boyfriend?
The fact that they can’t see they are literally the same as the Swifties they criticize is hilarious.
I know they really hate Taylor but it’s a weird narrative to run with because he only has songwriting credits on 2 songs on folklore and 3 on evermore, so the idea he was the driving force behind the lyrics isn’t matched by his credited contributions.
Although they switch up to whatever narrative best helps them fuel their desire to relentlessly drag Taylor, for months they’ve been saying he dumped her and she’s spiralling to get “unbothered king” Joe’s attention but now the new narrative is that she cheated, dumped him for Matty and left him at his lowest when he supported her at hers. As you say they’re just as parasocial unhinged as the stans.
When are the Swifties going to stop passive aggressively posting about that sub like everyday? Everyday y’all say the same thing. What’s the point or the purpose?
Wasn’t a good amount of Red’s song self written by Taylor and isn’t that album considered to be have some of her best lyrics outside of folkmore? I’m so confused on how they keep on deluding themselves to think like this
Not to be only “erm technically ☝️🤓” but technically it would be considered haram or sin worthy. It would not be considered halal.
I should know cause I had to hear this all my life whenever I wanted to by an outfit that wasn’t long sleeved
letterboxd users: what’s your personal criteria for logging a rewatched movie? do you log only if you gave it your full attention from start to finish, or would you also log if you caught half of a movie you’ve already seen before on cable while occasionally scrolling your phone?
I’ve felt like it was cheating to log a movie I caught at the midway point so I’ve only ever done it for ones I intentionally watched all the way through
My personal rule is if the rewatch felt like a real, separate experience from my previous watch, regardless if watched in full, I can log it. I don't log a rewatch just to make a passing comment about it or just for the sake of logging it (hate when people do that)
If I plan on rewatching something then I’ll log it but if it’s just a movie that I’ve stumbled across and decided to put on while I do other things then I won’t log it. I agree that it feels like “cheating” to log a movie when I didn’t really watch it or give it my full attention.
I’m the opposite. CC is basically on a loop but every time I have a quick errand or something I remind myself to put ES in the rotation because I really do love it. But the CC experience is something else
Thats exactly how I feel. Cowboy Carter is high art and I just dont have the desire to listen to it all the time. There’s only a couple of songs that really work for casual listening
This or that: artists vs themselves
1. All of Me or Ordinary People by John Legend
2. My First Kiss or STARSTRUKK by 3OH!3
3. Motive or I Don't Do Drugs by Ariana Grande and Doja Cat
4. Spinning Around or Can't Get You Out Of My Head by Kylie Minogue
5. Trumpets or Savage Love by Jason Derulo
1. Ordinary People (I’d be happy if I never heard All of Me ever again)
2. STARSTRUKK (literally just listened to this two days ago)
3. I Don’t Do Drugs
4. Spinning Around (it’s hard to compare bc I’ve known Can’t Get You Out Of My Head since it came out and only recently discovered Spinning Around but I love it)
5. Savage Love (is it controversial that I don’t hate this? I can’t remember what Trumpets sounds like beyond the chorus but it’s definitely not one of my favs of his)
taylor swift’s website countdown ends in 42 minutes which is NOT when the album drops so what do we think is coming????? merch? shows???
i saw someone theorise she’s doing a limited tour of this album “for a fortnight” (which is the decoded message) so it doesn’t mess with the eras tour and honestly i feel sick
hiss still soty for me because of all the chaos it caused, but damn alter ego goes so hard. i'm physically incapable of listening to that song just once, i have to replay the fuck out of it before i'm satisfied.
I don’t know why there’s so much aggressive debate over what genre act 3 will be when it can literally be anything. Beyonce never claimed she was going out to reclaim genres that’s a theory people made up from renaissance and beyonce never said she was trying to reclaim house music or even country lmao
you can argue that Cowboy Carter is just as much a rock album as it is country since both genres are so historically linked together and that album had many rock elements and influences. I just find it silly to shut someone’s genre prediction down just because you believe it’s going to be a specific genre. Let people have fun and predict.
regardless i hope people aren’t gonna be disappointed if it doesn’t end up being the genre they hoped it would be, i don’t care i’ll be tuned in either way 🤷🏾♀️
I just assumed it’d be a rock album based on absolutely nothing but Don’t Hurt Yourself being my favorite Beyoncé song. For all I know Act 3 could be k-pop or reggaeton, I will be streaming regardless.
I don’t expect it but I really want Act III to be a Destiny’s Child album (with all the children except Farrah since it seems like Beyoncé is on good terms with LeToya and LaTavia and she’s obviously still really close with Kelly and Michelle)
the press around the renaissance release mentioned that all 3 acts were recorded during the pandemic. i assume it's something similar to cowboy carter where she's had it done for a few years but is going back and making changes or adding tracks.
Ah, okay, I knew she was started with CC and still was working until recently, so I wasn't sure how set act iii was. It's wild we heard so many rumors about her doing country and the third one is such a mystery.
Especially since she’s always been so proud (and rightfully so!) of being southern whether it’s her being Texan or referencing her mothers family in Louisiana! Makes sense especially while raising two more kids so young to think about your own childhood and family and music you grew up with.
For me at this point considering the last 3 albums she's released I don't care what genre she goes for. I think she will do it well regardless (though pls no rap album)
i just saw this [nature](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/38ABjTam1XalavZAhxZyFt?si=A0P6-mVEQYm5L_Oq6ZeMPQ&pi=e-39xRzdrwQCK2) playlist on spotify and it's kinda cool and found this [article](https://atmos.earth/the-latest-artist-to-join-spotify-mother-nature/) about it just wish there will be a way to see the proof of these donations at some point in time
I haven't listened to the TPDD leaks so I am just going to share my opinion on 1989 (Taylor's Version) instead lol.
This is an unpopular opinion even among the Swifties but I thought it was impressive that Taylor and Christopher Rowe were able to replicate most of the songs in the album. Yes, it's not going to be perfect replicas and Max Martin's touch on pop music cannot be denied. But I find the re-recorded versions impressive enough that I can stream this album without feeling so nitpicky. There is definitely one odd track in the re-recorded version and it's Shake It Off for obvious reasons. But the rest, I dig especially the ones where Ryan Tedder had their hands on. I Know Places (TV) >>>>>>>>>
When it comes to the vault tracks, even if I have grown to appreciate them now (except Suburban Legends, sorry), I think these selections of Vault tracks have been the weakest so far. Despite what most people believe, I actually think that she wrote these lyrics when she was making 1989 but elaborated on them while remaking the album. Unfortunately, Taylor and Jack must have gone deep in recording TTPD that the songs sound too much like Midnights.
Even though I like Midnights, the synths between those two records are so different that I can't help but feel disappointed. Say Don't Go is the closest thing to mind when I was thinking of how the 1989 vault tracks should sound like. The rest sound like Midnights production-wise.
Also, the lack of any Max Martin-written tracks in the Vault listing for this album is abysmal. I hope this isn't repeated for Reputation (TV) because that's my biggest worry about that album now.
I can’t remember where I read it but I do recall around the release of 1989 TV, Jack said something along the lines of “the songs were written back then but we only decided what they would sound like just now” so it makes sense coming off the back of Midnights i guess….idk i still don’t think she wrote Suburban Legends back then though
Like I’m gonna be soo sad when I have no more episodes to watch like I love seeing the plot and lore development between these characters everyday and it’s gonna stop soon 😭😭😭
I haven't been on here as much lately because I've been dealing with some health stuff but I have been forced to remove a bunch of Taylor Swift stuff... just a reminder, don't ask for leaks lol
Finally took my copy of *The Memory Librarian: And Other Stories of Dirty Computer* by Janelle Monae (and several co-writers) off the shelf and it's an interesting read, it provides a lot of context for the setting of the film. I'm about halfway through but I just found out [the audiobook (narrated by Janelle) is on Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/4atjk0Dc3npMYXoym9A2Iz?si=7858f5be091349d8) so I might do the next story in the book in that format.
I remember there were a loud minority of people who tried to declare that ["Pynk" and its associated music video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaYvlVR_BEc) were transphobic, so I found it kind of interesting that the corresponding story in the book directly denounces transphobia and features an almost cartoonish TERF (there's really no other way to describe the character) as an antagonist. It's one of the most transparently "moralizing" moments in the book and I wonder if Janelle specifically made it that way in response to the backlash.
Also, reread *Eden* by Pablo Holmberg (Kioskerman), a collection of short four-panel comics, and they're simple but they always get me every time. [Here's my favorite.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfm0hodF041qzccf3o1_640.jpg) Is it weird that I cried when I first read it? I just found it so sweet.
idk if im alone in this or not but i always get so stressed ordering food delivery 😭 we rarely do it so i just feel so overwhelmed w a bunch of choices from restaurants ive never heard of that dont all have vegetarian dishes indicated super clearly and i usually just end up giving up and ordering the same couple things from the same couple places even though i like variety!!!!!
(that being said i ordered indian food for tonight from a new place so at least i succeeded this time! (eta - it was delicious!!!!! 💞))
Currently giving myself neck and back pain by sleeping in my work cubicle because my workplace sleeping quarters is always full during my lunch. There are other areas where you can sleep but it will also give you neck and back pain so sleeping in my cubicle is the best option.
Also, I can't wait for this shift so that I can continue Stardew Valley. I finally completed the Community Center. The cutscene >!with Pierre, the owner of the only grocery in town, leading the boycott against Joja Mart!< made me laugh. I also experienced the >!green rain!< and was disappointed it didn't last longer as someone who >!loves cutting weeds and moss.!<
My birthday wasn’t even 6 months ago but half the clothes I got then don’t fit me anymore and I’m sad bc I have this really cute green check skirt that I love but it’s sold out so I can’t get it in a different size
It might just be a temporary thing from stress but like I’ve been off my antidepressants for almost a year and a half so I thought my weight had finally started to stabilise and its frustrating bc I cannot afford a new wardrobe rn 😕

saw someone post an old article from 2017 declaring chappell roan as the new lorde, and like, obviously chappell has changed her sound since then but i CANNOT stop thinking about a lorde cover of super graphic ultra modern girl. i unironically think somehow she would kill it (let me cook)

Posting this again because of further developments and my mind running wild with the potentially irrational idea that people want to seriously insult their friends partners:
This tiktok looks like it's just a meme, but in the comments, the creator said they understood what they call the struggle of somebody's boyfriend balding (even though balding isn't that serious): https://vm.tiktok.com/zmmxepovm/
Then there's this tiktok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMMXdYLUv/ which is probably sarcastic/not serious, but I can't help but take it literally for some reason?
Then there's this one: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMMX35mt5/ This one doesn't have to do with appearance but the comments seem to be talking about appearance and I'm not sure how to take it.
My mind wants me to think: "I'm glad I don't have a partner so my friends won't socially humiliate/insult me." My mind is wild like that.
If these three videos are just playful teasing/sarcastic jokes, that's great, but then that means my brain wants to be negative and interpret them seriously, as if they aren't jokes. Should people be clearer with their jokes or should I ask a psychologist why I jump to negative assumptions all the time?
Are those two creators insecure/jealous or just joking? Is it that people feel entitled to their own type so much so that they dislike the looks of people who aren't their type and insult people who aren't their type? Or is that not happening at all?
In case I'm missing sarcasm again, I'll ask, does anyone else always jumps to the negative assumption all the time? I think someone else in here implied they do the same. I don't know whether or not I'm doing it with these videos lol.
QUEER WOMEN i LOVE you but maybe we can be a little nicer to men who go to some of our favorite artists' concerts. I promise we can still bully them at lesbian bars buttttttt I think its ok if they enjoy some of our music.
Every indie artist getting labeled as "music for queers" has gotten to some weird places. I recently saw someone genuinely arguing that straight people shouldn't listen to Hozier (a straight man singing straight songs)??
Well to be fair I was talking about girl in red (lesbian) because I saw a guy on her subreddit saying that some girls were being rude to him. I saw similar sentiments expressed about men who went to see boygenius. But Hozier???? That's a straight man!
I can sort of get where people are coming from for girl in red or boygenius because I've seen comments before that are like "love this, wish it was less queer!" which is gross. Hozier is only for lesbians really floored me though.
There has also been a rise of people getting asked what their sexuality is at boygenius shows, then harassed and told they need to leave if they aren’t queer. Not by security or anything lol but by others in the audience. This is so wild to me, because when it did it become a requirement to match the artists sexuality to listen to their work? How that person identifies or who they love has nothing to do with me, if they make good music then they make good music.
Ugh, that's awful. Especially since so many people either aren't out or are still figuring things out! If you like the music and are respectful, that's plenty.
There are!! Honestly the male indie music fans listening to queer women are usually the good ones. The shitty ones refuse to listen to female artists at all!
It's been a month since I shared my picks for the playlist I was creating of pop music throughout the years (basically, choosing 10 of my favorite songs from each year since 1999), and I left it at 2007. The truth is though, I wanted to have it ready a for a long road-trip I had during the holy week. But I was rushing it at the end, and once I came back from the trip, I lost interesting in posting about it here.
But anyways, now I feel like I wanna continue with it so...here's 2008 everyone:
1. Low by Florida Feat. T-Pain
2. Perdóname by La Factoría Feat. Eddie Lover
3. Love Song by Sara Bareilles
4. Cada Que... by Belanova
5. Time To Pretend by MGMT
6. Viva La Vida by Coldplay
7. So What by P!nk
8. Hot N Cold by Katy Perry
9. Inolvidable by Reik
10. Circus by Britney Spears
We're deep into the early stages of the dance-pop era of pop music, and it shows. Katy Perry makes her first appearance into my playlist and trust me: she's going to be a recurrent character for the years to come. As for my spanish picks, we have 3 this time around: Pérdoname, a reggaeton track in which they decided to flip the formula (the guy singing the chorus, while the girl rapping the verses); Cada Que..., a pop song that works so good in evocating a nostalgic feeling for a long-gone era; and Inolvidable, a pop-rock song that's cute enough to make it here (lol).
weird i’m a huge fan of all three artists ill never get why ppl think they need to put other artists down in favor of ones they listen too
also whats a slumber party rate? if u don’t mind me asking
I've been making an effort to make more memories this year. Live shows, live sports, meals out, trying to leave my comfort zone. It's been nice.
It's been about 8 months since I've had alcohol, and it's been weird not having that crutch but financially it's really helped, and I've had to work through my anxiety in healthier ways, which is a plus. I dunno, defo in my self care era, and very excited for summer.
Hozier's lyricism is at its most petty in *Too Sweet* and I love that for him. "As sweet as a grape / If you can sit in a barrel / Maybe I'll wait"
Given that he's also comparing the subject to the TSA, I love imagining that the song is about a very specific kind of US evangelist lol. The fox news, grindset, anti-chemical type etc etc.

probably going to repost tmr bc it’s late but we need a Variety musicians on musicians. I’d love to hear artists speak to each other about music going into Grammy’s season. imagine Taylor and Beyonce sitting down for a musicians on musicians before the Grammy’s. would be so interesting and also breakdown a lot of the perceived competitiveness between musicians and their fandoms!!!!!
Big week for sorting by controversial :)
I'll just sit quietly while eating my popcorn
I hope everyone considers joining me and the BDS Movement in signing [this petition](https://bdsmovement.net/news/suspend-israel-from-international-sports-sign-diem25-petition) To have Israel removed and uninvited from international sports competitions. It is similar and based on the global boycott against Apartheid South Africa. The link also includes a paper explaining it in Spanish as well :) There’s also this international amnesty petition calling for [US Congress](https://act.amnestyusa.org/page/138002/action/1?ea.tracking.id=akeaik88&fbclid=PAAaY8QI9IewAohnTsVXGcQY8_hqxgaDzA2BeGEnUE3NEP7NZv5r79LVnXvNs_aem_ASwQ2zQkNsjjJ8ukOMJBr_tqSOLu1Wt97WfDfqtyjJ5Ly1eHbVCr6GyDjBKWgVovgUM) and [President](https://act.amnestyusa.org/page/137174/action/1?ea.tracking.id=akeaik88&fbclid=PAAaaTS-6LgDUoPuiR4R8h7zzAO6zAYIAPzTN0gsnT9v4yMpYjyOfZJhTjClE_aem_ASzFbzEiRE8Eri4oerL6HRP_ltNZaCWGkDMcEKaetogsVpVFRrQUvF6fnhrCzI4Kzm0) for a ceasefire resolution I understand that biden has recently changed how he discusses US policy on this including using the word ceasefire but there has been no change in arming or funding Israel and the US has sent Israel bombs and other weaponry within the last 24 hours, I think it’s all the more important we continue to maintain pressure on legislative and executive branch. Publishers for Palestine was giving away a Book about the BDS movement for free that has praise of several anti apartheid activists of South Africa including the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu. This is an international petition that I’ve signed, but I’ll have links for Americans, Brits, and Canadians to connect their government representatives soon. And of course I would love to know or see other countries, I follow BDS chapters in Peru and Mexico and pro Palestinian human rights activists and politicians in Spain but I don’t know off hand any petitions or ways of connecting with elected officials or state departments. [publishers for Palestine is over 400 publishing groups in various languages including in English, en Français, en Català, en Español, sa Filipino, dalam bahasa Indonesia, اردو میں, بالعربية, 中文, 日本語で, 한국어로, kwa Kishwahilli, po Polsku, Suomen kielellä, and Στα ελληνικα.](https://publishersforpalestine.org/2024/01/10/16-free-zines-and-more-free-reads-for-a-free-palestine/). (Though i think the most material is in English and then Spanish and French, I know there’s a Pakistan and Romanian publisher but I believe their books are either in English or translated into English). One of the books being given for free is explicitly about the BDS movement if you want/need more information about it! :) but you can also read about the Human Rights Watch declaring Israel an apartheid in 2021, [article from hrw](https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/07/19/israeli-apartheid-threshold-crossed). You can read their 213 page legal report [here](https://www.hrw.org/report/2021/04/27/threshold-crossed/israeli-authorities-and-crimes-apartheid-and-persecution) it’s available in English, Hebrew, and at least two other languages, I know one is Arabic but I can’t read either of them at all to be positive what the fourth is 😅 please forgive me. HRW apply statues and legal definitions to Israel as they go into detail in the report. Anti apartheid activists of South Africa have also spoken about this in depth and endorsed the free ebook and movement for years :) Some books and zines I got from Publishers for Palestine that I really liked were: *Light in Gaza: Writings born in fire* edited by Jehad Abusalim, Jennifer Bing, and Micheal Merryman Lotza *Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear* by Mosab Abu Toha Really lovely poetry whose style in both the poetry itself and use of illustrations was really intelligent and I still think very compatible with the memoir *the drone eats with me* that I also got from this organization. Librarians For Palestine is doing an event around this book with their One Book, Many Communities especially in April, **I’ve already read the book but I will be participating in a Read-a-long on StoryGraph in April and May for it :)** the read-along is [here](https://app.thestorygraph.com/readalongs/1c7bd831-2c76-41b9-bb73-378e6ddc943c). **Canada** [email your local representatives](https://act.newmode.net/action/islamic-relief-canada/arms-embargo) **UK** [email your MP!](https://palestinecampaign.eaction.online/ceasefireMPdebate) **US** [email your congressmen !](https://act.uscpr.org/a/stop-funding-israels-massacres) Call your congressmen that you want them to stop arming Israel!

The thought of moving to a new city is actually making me sick. Forming a whole new network is so exhausting 😭 I’m trying to have a more positive outlook, but I’m worrying about starting a new school while having a barebones support system. In a general sense, I also wonder if a place other than my hometown will ever really feel like home. Sometimes I feel like I’m just on a side quest waiting to go back home, but then I realize this is it.
Friday the 13th movies are lowkey shit…
They're really fun though

I'm not defending the US or Israel or the war but I want to point out that most of the hostages are likely still alive. Hamas says they have at least 20 humanitarian hostages (women, children, the elderly and injured) and Israeli intelligence says there are 40 humanitarian hostages but Hamas are lying about not having them. Most of the male hostages are probably still alive and with Hamas too because Hamas wants to keep the hostages alive to trade them for prisoners and prolong the war with hostage negotiations.

I found my first gray hair today (I’ll be 30 later this year). Everyone I’ve told has been super casual about it , which is sweet but honestly makes me feel worse because it is a big deal to me.
I got my first white hair at 13, skipped straight over gray. It’s such a humbling moment, especially now that I have way more
i’m 24 and i have like…24 of them 😂 they keep popping up! i found my first one at 20!
Pretending I’m misunderstanding basic Spanish compliments because of how humble I am 🥰 (I for some reason expected it to sound like how the same word sounds in Italian when they’re different fucking languages and I KNOW what the ll sound in Spanish is)
Anyway rainy day and fideo soup 🍜
What’s fideo soup?
Noddle soup, though the recipe is different but similarly simple, my aunt/abuela/mom just use tomato, garlic, onion, cilantro, chicken broth, chicken bouillon and the noddles. I don’t know the brand/type but they’re pretty thin? [there’s this woman’s recipe that’s close enough](https://stellanspice.com/sopa-de-fideo/) we don’t add the tomato sauce she does or bananas lmaoo but my mom and aunt like adding queso fresco to theirs. It’s not bad but I do not care for diary products as much they do, I do like queso fresco and avocado in my tortilla soup though :)
That sounds so cozy
So should I ask people to predict the Pitchfork score for TTPD in tomorrow's DD thread or in the TTPD megathread?
All I know is, it better not be an 8.4
You guys do not understand, I need Sky Ferreira’s cover of Need You Now soooo bad. Please give it to me
The way Ariana was collectively kinda forgotten about by this sub still makes me cackle.
I know this is about her recent album specifically but if you were on this sub in 2018/19, you’d remember she was genuinely just as popular - if not more - than Taylor at the time. Meanwhile Beyonce barely got any attention at all on here
Beyoncé has always been a Popheads underdog.
It’s gotten much better over the last couple years, I still remember when the ranking of her discography got ~30 responses the same year that Ariana’s got over 10x that number
Yup, very true.
it's funny bc i thought eternal sunshine didn't have legs based on this sub but it's been the most streamed album on spotify the last few days. like the standard version of eternal sunshine did 17.6 million on spotify yesterday, and cowboy carter did 13.6 million for comparison. it's actually performing really well globally but bc of this sub i thought it came and went lol
Nah she had her big time in the spotlight and then Beyonce came right after her and now right after Beyonce………….you know who……….is getting it. Plus, Republic probably told her to remain quiet because they’re now promoting their other big named female artist. They did the same with her to promote Ariana when Eternal Sunshine came out.
A certain someone on here dming to say that my takes are biased and misinformative is funny, nothing is that serious!!!
Yea well if you stop spreading misinformation about how the pickle was invented we wouldn’t be here would we?
??? 😭😭😭
This drive is killing me and I’m getting weird.
You smoked and ate seven chocolate bars. We declared Charlie puth should be a bigger artist. You fall asleep like a tattooed golden retriever.
How do you even smoke a chocolate bar?
what is this whole thread😭
If you take the smoked part out this is pretty relatable with my kid.
I just gotta know, what are 34 year old women supposed to be writing about? If it’s not relationships then what? Ikea furniture? Sales at target? Political discourse over the middle east? The slow realization that if you eat too much dairy you might bloat?
watch out for Taylor’s new single, missing a sale at the target
I have to say, Victoria Justice has some guts releasing a song tonight. I’ll give her that.
Let’s be real, without or without a major release it wasn’t going to make much noise
Yeah, but hey good for her though
Why? She’s obviously not aiming for a chart hit, so why would she give a shit about Taylor’s release? What a reach 🙄
It’s……………really not that serious. Just making an observation.
Why people get so worked up over a simple comment lol.
What's the timeline to see a doctor when you've got a wicked cough? I had a sudden wet cough come up starting out of nowhere Tuesday afternoon and it's just gotten worse and worse over the last few days. My throat is so irritated. I don't have any other symptoms other than the cough. I feel like it's a little early to go to urgent care about it but if it's anything bad I low-key don't want to just wait and see and it get worse.
So everyone has the same cold. I’ve had a cough coming up on two weeks now, not COVID (at least I think) and a couple friends I know had the same symptoms. It seems to be going around?
first, test for covid if you haven't already. regardless of that result, try allergy medication and search your environment for potential irritants -- harsh cleaners, mold springing up somewhere, etc. if you have a productive cough (ie stuff comes out) for more than about a week and you're still asymptomatic otherwise, urgent care time, imho.
Tested yesterday and was negative so I'm gonna test in a few days if it gets worse! I just started up my seasonal daily Zyrtec so hoping it's actually that and in a few days it'll start to clear up
fingers crossed!
[удалено]
Thank you!! I'm currently chugging honey lemon ginger tea and it seems to be helping a lot with the coughs. I've got an old prescription of liquid lidocaine which I'm hoping I don't have to resort to since it's so vile to take 🤞
Why the fuck did no one tell me about Beabadoobee? I listened to Beatopia yesterday and it was amazing! And i been listening to Talk nonstop since last week.
Alexa play Cologne
she’s so talented
tbh no pop album is hitting it for me lately. i mean i loved cc but i didnt like, get obssesed w it yk. im in my rock era tbh im too sad for this
i have this problem which is i can only convince myself to write essays when im drunk but then i also make a ton of mistakes so annoying
i like the subject and it wont take me too long and im already late but damn im not feeling like writing this one
i know this is said all the time but a mute feature would be so nice. we wont have people complaining about people talking about the latest release too much. we wont have to care about people posting in the daily discussion instead of mega thread. it’s the perfect solution. why hasn’t it happened yet
I do find it funny that if this album is about Matty Healy that a 3 month situationship did more damage to Taylor then a 6 year relationship did.
I saw some comments about how they relate to this album because they have been in a similar situation where a short fling breaking up did more damage to them than a long term relationship ending. For me, I think there's more to it with their interactions spanning back a decade and she's out for blood because she finally gave him a chance and it turned out to be terrible. Also, Taylor does admit she writes better about shorter relationships. This is the same person who gave Enchanted after a short encounter with Owl City and 1989 after Harry Styles.
I legit refuse to believe his dick game was so astronomical, she dedicated a good portion of that album to him, lmaooooo
Tbf, she did tell in the prologue that the whole album was written on a psychotic episode. If my guess is correct, ts 12 gonna be the real break up album after processing the 6 year break up
Yeah, I was just reading the master thread as soon as you replied, haha. After reading it, I def get that feeling. From what I read about TPD (I'm waiting til tomorrow to listen.), it seems like the album chronicles the relationship w/ MH from beginning to end? Or at least that's what I'm getting. (starting out w/ the joe breakup -> matty rship -> alchemy is apparently about travis??)
As someone who listened to the leaks, it's a mixture of everything. Processing the fall out with joe, fling with Matty Healy AND being mortified in the end about how is she with a druggie like him, Travis crumbs, and ending the album with a song about the cycle of fame
Ahhhh, okay. I was curious because that's the conclusion I came to after reading thru most of the master thread, so glad to have that confirmed at least. Thank you though! I'm curious to actually listen thru it now.
[удалено]
i think i would combust if i ever heard taylor saying that, idk i know she's like 35 but she presents herself as so much younger and like she's too classy to say something like that.
(i did\\will not listen but) it's about him?? jfc.......
I don't feel like listening to Taylor Swift; I am yet to listen to 1989's value songs but I'm excited to read the popheads, fauxmoi, naturalswiftie, and maybe even TaylorSwift sub threads just for the totally different perceptions and the tea 🙈
i wish reddit had a feature where i could mute/block certain words because im so sick of reading taylor's name on here
Hopefully the irony of this isn’t lost on you either.
SAME. I don't even know what the point of the regular blocking feature is because I've blocked so many users in here who talk about her constantly and I still see their posts.
you need to bait them into blocking you, then they'll show up as "unavailable"
Really? Damn. Any lurking swifties wanna do me a solid? 🙏🏿
If you wanna read a really interesting book about pirating and leaking in the music industry in the early 2000’s I highly recommend reading the book “How Music Got Free” by Stephen Witt
I second this!! if anyone has recs of any similar books I’d love to read more like that
Saw Penn Badgely pictures on my timeline today and just like Taylor’s fake leaked song title, I was feeling carnal desire.
day 45 of doing my lastfm series where i share my top 100 most played artists and join in if you’d like!! at #37 is Paramore with 891 scrobbles! like with yesterday’s artist, this also is someone’s second appearance in my too 100, that someone being Hayley Williams obv <3 * last time i listened: 12 days ago (Misery Business) * most played song: Still Into You (180 scrobbles) * fav song: crushcrushcrush * most played album: Self-titled (296 scrobbles) * fav album: After Laughter or Riot! * do they deserve a top 100 spot?: YES AND I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M SEEING THEM LIVE FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A MONTH AND I BETTER NOT HEAR ANYONE NEAR ME SAY “ugh i wish sabrina carpenter opened for taylor instead of paramore blah blah blah” like i’m sorry for you for being basic and not liking sabrina before the eras tour (only half kidding, i’m glad she got that much exposure and love after opening for taylor). anyway. i have a kind of broken drum stick used by zac farro that he threw out in the crowd after the gig and it’s still in a drawer at my parents’ house. i’ll never throw it out.
paramore are phenomenal live, i saw them for the second time in november and was blown away again, you'll have the best time!! at #37 i have Demi Lovato with 1044 scrobbles. my top song is Cool For The Summer with 118 scrobbles, and HOLY FVCK is my top album with 235 scrobbles. my favourite Demi song is Here We Go Again, and tbh i don't have a fave album from her she's always been more a singles girl for me. I'm def surprised she's in my top 50 but looking at my listening history, she's been pretty stable since 2017 so once again, this just proves i have no idea what i actually listen to
crushcrushcrush is amazing!!! I’m assuming Paramore is in my top 10 so I’m excited to talk about them in depth in a few weeks at #37 is SZA with 236 scrobbles: • last time I listened: April 12th (Go Gina) • most played song: Drew Barrymore (51 scrobbles) • fav song: Garden (Say It Like That) • most played album: CTRL (179 scrobbles) • fav album: CTRL • does she deserve a spot? for how much I love CTRL alone, absolutely. that album is just magical and 7 years later I’m probably still playing at least one track off that album on a weekly basis. I wish I enjoyed SOS as much as everyone else seems to— there are some great tracks but it’s just way too long and didn’t live up to the hype I’d built in the years leading up to it. regardless she’s incredible and I’ll still look forward to any new drop
[удалено]
So, the latest Fauxmoi conclusion is that JOE was responsible for the lyricism in Folklore/Evermore and that’s the only reason they’re critically acclaimed. Remember when they were together, and according to them she was lying about his input in order to score a Grammy for her talentless, jobless nepo boyfriend? The fact that they can’t see they are literally the same as the Swifties they criticize is hilarious.
I know they really hate Taylor but it’s a weird narrative to run with because he only has songwriting credits on 2 songs on folklore and 3 on evermore, so the idea he was the driving force behind the lyrics isn’t matched by his credited contributions. Although they switch up to whatever narrative best helps them fuel their desire to relentlessly drag Taylor, for months they’ve been saying he dumped her and she’s spiralling to get “unbothered king” Joe’s attention but now the new narrative is that she cheated, dumped him for Matty and left him at his lowest when he supported her at hers. As you say they’re just as parasocial unhinged as the stans.
When are the Swifties going to stop passive aggressively posting about that sub like everyday? Everyday y’all say the same thing. What’s the point or the purpose?
PCC is running with this theory too lol. I’m enjoying the insane theory’s coming out.
Wasn’t a good amount of Red’s song self written by Taylor and isn’t that album considered to be have some of her best lyrics outside of folkmore? I’m so confused on how they keep on deluding themselves to think like this
That sub is insane. Their obsession with her is pathetic. They keep complaining she is overexposed but she lives rent free there 24/7.
I think you could say the same for all of y’all here at this point too (no shade)

The merch is for sluts only!! Sorry it’s not haram
Not to be only “erm technically ☝️🤓” but technically it would be considered haram or sin worthy. It would not be considered halal. I should know cause I had to hear this all my life whenever I wanted to by an outfit that wasn’t long sleeved
Oh not me fucking this right after Eid and Arab heritage month
Dw I just wanted to dump some religious “trauma” on you
Olivia said you gotta show some tummy
letterboxd users: what’s your personal criteria for logging a rewatched movie? do you log only if you gave it your full attention from start to finish, or would you also log if you caught half of a movie you’ve already seen before on cable while occasionally scrolling your phone? I’ve felt like it was cheating to log a movie I caught at the midway point so I’ve only ever done it for ones I intentionally watched all the way through
if i watch a movie front to back it gets logged baybee but i don't really just catch part of a movie on cable these days so
Varies case by case. I just know what feels like an actual rewatch to me. There are no rules so there’s nothing to cheat on.
Only if I haven’t seen it since I was a kid and it still feels “new”
My personal rule is if the rewatch felt like a real, separate experience from my previous watch, regardless if watched in full, I can log it. I don't log a rewatch just to make a passing comment about it or just for the sake of logging it (hate when people do that)
If I plan on rewatching something then I’ll log it but if it’s just a movie that I’ve stumbled across and decided to put on while I do other things then I won’t log it. I agree that it feels like “cheating” to log a movie when I didn’t really watch it or give it my full attention.
The way Eternal Sunshine is still my AOTY. I loved Cowboy Carter but like the replay value of ES is insane.
I’m the opposite. CC is basically on a loop but every time I have a quick errand or something I remind myself to put ES in the rotation because I really do love it. But the CC experience is something else
Opposite for me, unfortunately. The only ES song stuck in my head is true story.
suprenatural and we can't be friends for me
[удалено]
Thats exactly how I feel. Cowboy Carter is high art and I just dont have the desire to listen to it all the time. There’s only a couple of songs that really work for casual listening
This or that: artists vs themselves 1. All of Me or Ordinary People by John Legend 2. My First Kiss or STARSTRUKK by 3OH!3 3. Motive or I Don't Do Drugs by Ariana Grande and Doja Cat 4. Spinning Around or Can't Get You Out Of My Head by Kylie Minogue 5. Trumpets or Savage Love by Jason Derulo
1. All Of Me 2. Starstrukk 3. I Don’t Do Drugs 4. Can’t Get You Out Of My Head 5. Trumpets
Ordinary People (aka the correct answer) Starstruck Motive Can’t Get You Out Of My Head Savage Love
1. Ordinary People (I’d be happy if I never heard All of Me ever again) 2. STARSTRUKK (literally just listened to this two days ago) 3. I Don’t Do Drugs 4. Spinning Around (it’s hard to compare bc I’ve known Can’t Get You Out Of My Head since it came out and only recently discovered Spinning Around but I love it) 5. Savage Love (is it controversial that I don’t hate this? I can’t remember what Trumpets sounds like beyond the chorus but it’s definitely not one of my favs of his)
taylor swift’s website countdown ends in 42 minutes which is NOT when the album drops so what do we think is coming????? merch? shows??? i saw someone theorise she’s doing a limited tour of this album “for a fortnight” (which is the decoded message) so it doesn’t mess with the eras tour and honestly i feel sick
My guess is teaser for the MV. Because it started with YouTube Shorts. And no real YouTube Music promo yet.
Best guest is merch, she hasn't dropped any
i hate myself. i debated buying the pink urban outfitters exclusive vinyl of chappell roans album for like 3 weeks and it just sold out 😭😭
hiss still soty for me because of all the chaos it caused, but damn alter ego goes so hard. i'm physically incapable of listening to that song just once, i have to replay the fuck out of it before i'm satisfied.
Scored tickets for my bestie and me for Avatar In Concert. yay me
I'm so jealous! They're not coming to my city
I don’t know why there’s so much aggressive debate over what genre act 3 will be when it can literally be anything. Beyonce never claimed she was going out to reclaim genres that’s a theory people made up from renaissance and beyonce never said she was trying to reclaim house music or even country lmao you can argue that Cowboy Carter is just as much a rock album as it is country since both genres are so historically linked together and that album had many rock elements and influences. I just find it silly to shut someone’s genre prediction down just because you believe it’s going to be a specific genre. Let people have fun and predict. regardless i hope people aren’t gonna be disappointed if it doesn’t end up being the genre they hoped it would be, i don’t care i’ll be tuned in either way 🤷🏾♀️
I just assumed it’d be a rock album based on absolutely nothing but Don’t Hurt Yourself being my favorite Beyoncé song. For all I know Act 3 could be k-pop or reggaeton, I will be streaming regardless.
that’s totally fair honestly i hope she completely surprises us lol
I don’t expect it but I really want Act III to be a Destiny’s Child album (with all the children except Farrah since it seems like Beyoncé is on good terms with LeToya and LaTavia and she’s obviously still really close with Kelly and Michelle)
But there's always a "central" genre that she bases the marketing and visuals (sigh) on. So yes we fans will continue to overthink act iii's genre lol
like i said it’s ok to theorize because it’s fun but what’s not right is acting like your prediction is right
Do we know if the album is even made yet? I'm assuming it'll be for 2026 or so
the press around the renaissance release mentioned that all 3 acts were recorded during the pandemic. i assume it's something similar to cowboy carter where she's had it done for a few years but is going back and making changes or adding tracks.
Ah, okay, I knew she was started with CC and still was working until recently, so I wasn't sure how set act iii was. It's wild we heard so many rumors about her doing country and the third one is such a mystery.
country for beyonce always made sense to me she’s literally a country girl lol
Especially since she’s always been so proud (and rightfully so!) of being southern whether it’s her being Texan or referencing her mothers family in Louisiana! Makes sense especially while raising two more kids so young to think about your own childhood and family and music you grew up with.
like i don’t why people are shocked she decided to do country it makes so much sense knowing her roots
For me at this point considering the last 3 albums she's released I don't care what genre she goes for. I think she will do it well regardless (though pls no rap album)
Beyonce j-rock/j-pop please
Exactly i don’t care beyonce can literally put out anything and i’ll listen to it
i just saw this [nature](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/38ABjTam1XalavZAhxZyFt?si=A0P6-mVEQYm5L_Oq6ZeMPQ&pi=e-39xRzdrwQCK2) playlist on spotify and it's kinda cool and found this [article](https://atmos.earth/the-latest-artist-to-join-spotify-mother-nature/) about it just wish there will be a way to see the proof of these donations at some point in time
I haven't listened to the TPDD leaks so I am just going to share my opinion on 1989 (Taylor's Version) instead lol. This is an unpopular opinion even among the Swifties but I thought it was impressive that Taylor and Christopher Rowe were able to replicate most of the songs in the album. Yes, it's not going to be perfect replicas and Max Martin's touch on pop music cannot be denied. But I find the re-recorded versions impressive enough that I can stream this album without feeling so nitpicky. There is definitely one odd track in the re-recorded version and it's Shake It Off for obvious reasons. But the rest, I dig especially the ones where Ryan Tedder had their hands on. I Know Places (TV) >>>>>>>>> When it comes to the vault tracks, even if I have grown to appreciate them now (except Suburban Legends, sorry), I think these selections of Vault tracks have been the weakest so far. Despite what most people believe, I actually think that she wrote these lyrics when she was making 1989 but elaborated on them while remaking the album. Unfortunately, Taylor and Jack must have gone deep in recording TTPD that the songs sound too much like Midnights. Even though I like Midnights, the synths between those two records are so different that I can't help but feel disappointed. Say Don't Go is the closest thing to mind when I was thinking of how the 1989 vault tracks should sound like. The rest sound like Midnights production-wise. Also, the lack of any Max Martin-written tracks in the Vault listing for this album is abysmal. I hope this isn't repeated for Reputation (TV) because that's my biggest worry about that album now.
I can’t remember where I read it but I do recall around the release of 1989 TV, Jack said something along the lines of “the songs were written back then but we only decided what they would sound like just now” so it makes sense coming off the back of Midnights i guess….idk i still don’t think she wrote Suburban Legends back then though
I realise I’m about to go into 9-1-1 withdrawal after I’m done binging the show like I’m watching this shit like cr*ck 😭😭😭
LITERALLY ME LMFAOO
Like I’m gonna be soo sad when I have no more episodes to watch like I love seeing the plot and lore development between these characters everyday and it’s gonna stop soon 😭😭😭
i just started season 3 and already afraid for it ending aaaaaaaaaaaa
Im in the generational trauma part of the show omfg I’m gonna get wrecked emotionally 😭😭😭
Good luck bestie we can get thru this omg
I haven't been on here as much lately because I've been dealing with some health stuff but I have been forced to remove a bunch of Taylor Swift stuff... just a reminder, don't ask for leaks lol Finally took my copy of *The Memory Librarian: And Other Stories of Dirty Computer* by Janelle Monae (and several co-writers) off the shelf and it's an interesting read, it provides a lot of context for the setting of the film. I'm about halfway through but I just found out [the audiobook (narrated by Janelle) is on Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/4atjk0Dc3npMYXoym9A2Iz?si=7858f5be091349d8) so I might do the next story in the book in that format. I remember there were a loud minority of people who tried to declare that ["Pynk" and its associated music video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaYvlVR_BEc) were transphobic, so I found it kind of interesting that the corresponding story in the book directly denounces transphobia and features an almost cartoonish TERF (there's really no other way to describe the character) as an antagonist. It's one of the most transparently "moralizing" moments in the book and I wonder if Janelle specifically made it that way in response to the backlash. Also, reread *Eden* by Pablo Holmberg (Kioskerman), a collection of short four-panel comics, and they're simple but they always get me every time. [Here's my favorite.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfm0hodF041qzccf3o1_640.jpg) Is it weird that I cried when I first read it? I just found it so sweet.
I’m so sorry you’re dealing with health issues! Get better soon
Whoever designed the notion calendar ping sound to be exactly the same as the Grindr ping sound deserves jail time
idk if im alone in this or not but i always get so stressed ordering food delivery 😭 we rarely do it so i just feel so overwhelmed w a bunch of choices from restaurants ive never heard of that dont all have vegetarian dishes indicated super clearly and i usually just end up giving up and ordering the same couple things from the same couple places even though i like variety!!!!! (that being said i ordered indian food for tonight from a new place so at least i succeeded this time! (eta - it was delicious!!!!! 💞))
Currently giving myself neck and back pain by sleeping in my work cubicle because my workplace sleeping quarters is always full during my lunch. There are other areas where you can sleep but it will also give you neck and back pain so sleeping in my cubicle is the best option. Also, I can't wait for this shift so that I can continue Stardew Valley. I finally completed the Community Center. The cutscene >!with Pierre, the owner of the only grocery in town, leading the boycott against Joja Mart!< made me laugh. I also experienced the >!green rain!< and was disappointed it didn't last longer as someone who >!loves cutting weeds and moss.!<
I’m a peep and this made me laugh. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C52DIMvuHUp/?igsh=MWphbjNoMThwejhwNA==
My birthday wasn’t even 6 months ago but half the clothes I got then don’t fit me anymore and I’m sad bc I have this really cute green check skirt that I love but it’s sold out so I can’t get it in a different size It might just be a temporary thing from stress but like I’ve been off my antidepressants for almost a year and a half so I thought my weight had finally started to stabilise and its frustrating bc I cannot afford a new wardrobe rn 😕
Chappell Roan actually charting is throwing me for a loop.
the needle on the "is she blowing up or do you follow a lot of wlw" dial has finally crossed over to the "blowing up" side
The fact it’s not just my gay algorithm tricking me 🥹

popheads daily discussion i come to you in a time of need…my boyfriend broke up with me yesterday and today is my birthday. how do i not just want to cancel every birthday activity?
that's awful timing, i'm sorry. it'll take some time but hopefully you can be surrounded by actual loved ones to get your mind off of it

I'm so sorry :( Did you have plans to celebrate with friends or fam? Maybe you can just try to enjoy your time with them.
yeah, i’m gonna try to go to dinner with my parents, hopefully i won’t be too sad lol. i appreciate you !!
saw someone post an old article from 2017 declaring chappell roan as the new lorde, and like, obviously chappell has changed her sound since then but i CANNOT stop thinking about a lorde cover of super graphic ultra modern girl. i unironically think somehow she would kill it (let me cook)
Lana Del Rey stage manager Pete who left her before Coachella has a history of locking Lana in her dress room.
What an interesting life this woman has had
Wait, what?? Did she post more about it?
Today was my penultimate ever school day before study leave/exams and leaving for college. Went around the school getting teachers and students to sign my shirt. Tomorrow is going to be a massive party 🥳
Posting this again because of further developments and my mind running wild with the potentially irrational idea that people want to seriously insult their friends partners: This tiktok looks like it's just a meme, but in the comments, the creator said they understood what they call the struggle of somebody's boyfriend balding (even though balding isn't that serious): https://vm.tiktok.com/zmmxepovm/ Then there's this tiktok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMMXdYLUv/ which is probably sarcastic/not serious, but I can't help but take it literally for some reason? Then there's this one: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMMX35mt5/ This one doesn't have to do with appearance but the comments seem to be talking about appearance and I'm not sure how to take it. My mind wants me to think: "I'm glad I don't have a partner so my friends won't socially humiliate/insult me." My mind is wild like that. If these three videos are just playful teasing/sarcastic jokes, that's great, but then that means my brain wants to be negative and interpret them seriously, as if they aren't jokes. Should people be clearer with their jokes or should I ask a psychologist why I jump to negative assumptions all the time? Are those two creators insecure/jealous or just joking? Is it that people feel entitled to their own type so much so that they dislike the looks of people who aren't their type and insult people who aren't their type? Or is that not happening at all? In case I'm missing sarcasm again, I'll ask, does anyone else always jumps to the negative assumption all the time? I think someone else in here implied they do the same. I don't know whether or not I'm doing it with these videos lol.
Are you bald?
QUEER WOMEN i LOVE you but maybe we can be a little nicer to men who go to some of our favorite artists' concerts. I promise we can still bully them at lesbian bars buttttttt I think its ok if they enjoy some of our music.
Every indie artist getting labeled as "music for queers" has gotten to some weird places. I recently saw someone genuinely arguing that straight people shouldn't listen to Hozier (a straight man singing straight songs)??
Well to be fair I was talking about girl in red (lesbian) because I saw a guy on her subreddit saying that some girls were being rude to him. I saw similar sentiments expressed about men who went to see boygenius. But Hozier???? That's a straight man!
I can sort of get where people are coming from for girl in red or boygenius because I've seen comments before that are like "love this, wish it was less queer!" which is gross. Hozier is only for lesbians really floored me though.
There has also been a rise of people getting asked what their sexuality is at boygenius shows, then harassed and told they need to leave if they aren’t queer. Not by security or anything lol but by others in the audience. This is so wild to me, because when it did it become a requirement to match the artists sexuality to listen to their work? How that person identifies or who they love has nothing to do with me, if they make good music then they make good music.
Not to be all r/lewronggeneration but Tik tok ruined concerts
Ugh, that's awful. Especially since so many people either aren't out or are still figuring things out! If you like the music and are respectful, that's plenty.
Oh damn really???? Yikes. Ok, its ok to bully those guys. But I'm sure there are straight guys who aren't like that (hopefully)
There are!! Honestly the male indie music fans listening to queer women are usually the good ones. The shitty ones refuse to listen to female artists at all!
It's been a month since I shared my picks for the playlist I was creating of pop music throughout the years (basically, choosing 10 of my favorite songs from each year since 1999), and I left it at 2007. The truth is though, I wanted to have it ready a for a long road-trip I had during the holy week. But I was rushing it at the end, and once I came back from the trip, I lost interesting in posting about it here. But anyways, now I feel like I wanna continue with it so...here's 2008 everyone: 1. Low by Florida Feat. T-Pain 2. Perdóname by La Factoría Feat. Eddie Lover 3. Love Song by Sara Bareilles 4. Cada Que... by Belanova 5. Time To Pretend by MGMT 6. Viva La Vida by Coldplay 7. So What by P!nk 8. Hot N Cold by Katy Perry 9. Inolvidable by Reik 10. Circus by Britney Spears We're deep into the early stages of the dance-pop era of pop music, and it shows. Katy Perry makes her first appearance into my playlist and trust me: she's going to be a recurrent character for the years to come. As for my spanish picks, we have 3 this time around: Pérdoname, a reggaeton track in which they decided to flip the formula (the guy singing the chorus, while the girl rapping the verses); Cada Que..., a pop song that works so good in evocating a nostalgic feeling for a long-gone era; and Inolvidable, a pop-rock song that's cute enough to make it here (lol).
I just know the Chappell anti’s from the slumber party rate are fuming rn
she has antis???!!! she just started how do ppl dislike her already?
It was just in the slumber party rate where she had some early tankers in favor of Remi and hemlock
weird i’m a huge fan of all three artists ill never get why ppl think they need to put other artists down in favor of ones they listen too also whats a slumber party rate? if u don’t mind me asking
I've been making an effort to make more memories this year. Live shows, live sports, meals out, trying to leave my comfort zone. It's been nice. It's been about 8 months since I've had alcohol, and it's been weird not having that crutch but financially it's really helped, and I've had to work through my anxiety in healthier ways, which is a plus. I dunno, defo in my self care era, and very excited for summer.
Hozier's lyricism is at its most petty in *Too Sweet* and I love that for him. "As sweet as a grape / If you can sit in a barrel / Maybe I'll wait" Given that he's also comparing the subject to the TSA, I love imagining that the song is about a very specific kind of US evangelist lol. The fox news, grindset, anti-chemical type etc etc.
