It’s almost that time of year again - it looks like im on schedule to release my year end Best and Worst Albums of 2023 lists on December 15th! These are always my favorite thing to work on each year and I consider them my big project that everything I’m working on is leading to. Sorry if I haven’t responded to your message yet or answered your request. I’ll try to get around to them when I can but mostof time time the past month has been dedicated to relistening through ... read more
Sorry for the disappearance, forgot I was a person for a second. Anyways, time to listen to some good music to uplift my spirits

I like it when my partner recommends me cool shit ☺️
no this album’s kinda bad actually.
Like, it’s not “Supermarket” by Logic bad, but the fact that that’s where my brain immediately went is…not great.

Before the 2020’s, I could always look forward to a project Steven Wilson was involved, being one of the few modern old head prog types that actually made new music that had more value than having some odd time signatures and kind of sort of resembling the 70’s prog greats - there were some genuine great tunes, cool riffs and grooves, and real emotionality there. But with his last two records as well as the Porcupine Tree reunion, his music has just lost anything ... read more

What can I say, I like it when nerdy weirdos make electronic music. Let’s get groovy, baby

well I’m happy Blink fans like it at least.
can’t pretend I don’t immediately cringe every time they open their mouths on this record tho.
Jesus Christ, this is a lot. Hell, this review is gonna be a lot. This will be a weird one, sorry in advance.
I want to make myself very clear that I say this without any exaggeration or hyperbole - Kristin Michael Hayter makes some of the most powerful music of our time.
Now, if you’re not entirely familiar with her name, you might think I’m a crazy person. “Baddie, what the fuck are you saying? I have never heard of this person, and I’m looking at her artist page ... read more

First time hearing a full length Bad Bunny project, and while I didn’t love it I thought it was perfectly fine. I also acknowledge that there’s a cultural and language barrier that, if not there, I might appreciate this project more.

I’m not the same woman I was before listening to “JD Wrist”

I should like this. Chino Moreno from Deftones is in a darkwave/synthpop/electro-industrial band with features from EL-P and Robert Smith? On paper, this should be my shit.
In practice…bleh

Holy shit, I thought I had a definite pick for rap AOTY, but after finally getting around to listening to this it looks like there might be some real competition. This easily one of the most exciting debuts I’ve heard in a while, just oozes with charisma, personality, and charm and has the infectious vibe of making music and enduring your early adulthood with your friends. Seriously, don’t miss out.

Isn’t as consistently high as the singles - yes, SINGLE(S) - but it’s a solid collection of dance pop bops with catchy melodies, danceable grooves, and flirty vibes, as well as the infectious atmosphere of queer joy and embracing your sexuality.
In anticipation of her new record, “SAVED!”, released under the name Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter and coming out next week on 10/20, I’ve released a list ranking and mini-reviewing each mainline project from Kristin Hayter, FKA Lingua Ignota. This will serve as my canon ranking of Kristin’s work and will be updated with the release of “SAVED!” next week, as well as new releases in the future. If you want to know my thoughts about her or you want an entry ... read more

On Reverend Kristin Michael Hayter - SAVED!
"Thank you all for your incredibly kind messages. I’d respond to everyone individually but I’ll end up sounding like a broken record, but it means the world to me everything you all have said. I’m incredibly grateful for the people who connect with what I do, all of the incredibly welcoming, friendly, and supportive community members, and having a space where I can be myself and share my thoughts and love of music with other likeminded people. To everyone who shared their own experiences, I’m sincerely proud of you not only for being open and vulnerable but for staying here despite your experiences. Thank you again for your love, support, and empathy"

"@weeewoupe thank you for your kind words. I know I don’t really know you or anyone else on this site personally, but it truly means a lot to me that you would say something so kind and empathetic. I don’t take for granted the fact that people connect with what I do, it feels unreal to me, and I hope I can continue to do so for you and the rest of community. Thank you again, I hope you’re doing well"

"I really appreciate this message @calup, on all fronts. It’s been a tough journey so far and I’m gonna be going through it for a while, but I think for the first time I’m starting to feel something resembling okay. It means a lot that my works resonates with you and you see growth in them, and it means the world to me I have any effect on people on this site, including you, one of the most positives presences on this site. I wish for you to flourish as well"

On Drake - For All The Dogs
"@Calvin right?? Like people were predicting this would be a significant improvement/return to form when nothing but the TITLE was announced, and this has happened for the past, like, five projects from him. It’s like going to a Cannibal festival for your fifth year in a row and then being surprised because you thought, surely, THIS time they won’t try to eat me. Like god bless them, love the optimism, but you cannot be serious, what were you expecting."
