music (sunday, man with birds, failboat)

I uploaded these bbz for a friend because I killed my router a few weeks ago? true story I kicked it and it as thirty dollars at Target so I guess you can't expect much:

WHO? ME? I CERTAINLY HAVE MET ALL MY FRIENDS. IN FLESH. AND STUFF. I LOVE GOD?

and I'm not this much in love with the Huffington Post...no, really....how's that "30 Rock" joke go:
'Thank you for telling me what I already know. You should work for the Huffington Post!'

I'm writing the worst thing ever for my fiction workshop class. those kids will destroy me. here's a sample of what I have:

"You mean the guy with the fake arm?" This had infuriated Tiffany Gleeson, who could only think about the cold plastic touch of his arm whenever it was creeping up her skirt.
"So what!"
Well, getting back to the subject of the production, her name was foremost on the cast. Regardless of whether or not she had auditioned.
The role? Jesus.
"You have to be excited!" Karen Petrokleviez remarked to the woman she held as her best friend. Tiffany hated Karen; she had long ago decided the girl's sole function in her life was to hold her lattes and give her some organs, eventually. "It's the biggest role. Evah!"
"I don't care. I have Todd. My life has meaning," Tiffany sighed.

I don't even think they'll realize I'm trying to write something as ridiculously as I possibly can.
:( if I hadn't been so busy with work these past few weeks, I would've churned out something better. but at least it can be revised.

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist. "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

"Anchors" - AM Higgins

Here's a nice breezy, almost sensual song from AM Higgins (the solo project of musician Annie Toth) to start your Tuesday off right. Her debut album "Hymning" will be out November 5th on Victorialand Records. The album was mixed by Casey Foubert, a frequent collaborator of Sufjan Stevens. The album "captures the first years of moving from an American city to rural France." Sounds like "Hymning" will be a welcome escape from the world we live in right now, especially considering that Annie Toth counts poets Mary Oliver and Thomas Merton as influences.

Summer Playlist - 2022 Edition!

It's truly the little things in life that make a world of difference. And for me, that means my summer playlist! Behold, I have put together 2022's edition. It includes cuts from artists like: - Mitski - Uffie - Johnny Orlando - Kylie Minogue + Jessie Ware - Florence and the Machine (who put out a fantastic album this year after a long dry spell of kind of "meh" records. Her pairing with Jack Antonoff worked out quite well!) - Bilal - Harry Styles (he has some catchy music!) - KATE BUSH DUH - And of course, Lana. It's also available on Apple Music, but since I recognize a lot of folks use Spotify, here's that link. Enjoy!
