i aim to be as contrarian as possible when it comes to men-music (i do not enjoy sharing interests with that of men. sue me.) and have gone most of my life without hearing a single song from any of the "classic" bands.
last week while biking i gave in to spotify's recommendations and heard this song for the first time, come to find out its one of the cure's most popular songs of all time 🤣🤣.
but wowwwwwwwwwwww. life changed. brain re-wired. ailments healed. needless to say i am obsessed.
and just like that........... i have started to broaden my spotify horizons (1/10th of the music in my library is now allowed to be occupied by men).

for the longest time i just couldn’t stand robert smith’s voice. but then i was trying to impress this girl and she made me a list of her fav songs of theirs and i listened to it on repeat to have my opinions so i could speak to her. she is now just another regular story liker and i, a fan of the cure.

going to a show with these two in a few weeks (!!!) so i made a playlist to get excited, but have only realized how fully these two women encompass the full spectrum of emotions after someone has broken your heart. from missing them, to wanting revenge and wanting them to hurt, to loving them, to hating them, to slipping up and reaching out, to wondering where you went wrong, to changing yourself to make them want you more, to realizing you weren't enough because nothing ever will be, to knowing if you reach out you'll only lower your guard, to never knowing what you meant to them, and the interplay between all of those things. everything i've felt this month tenfold.
especially potent when you've spent a while not listening to these fun, poppy female artists you love so much because you were afraid you'd look less "cool" to some guy you like with strong music opinions. but i'm done feeling bad about what makes me feel happy and energetic. i don't care if it's cool or niche or cringe or not! i love women! i love having fun! i can only foster positive friendships and relationships going forward if i allow that for myself!

can we normalize not knowing genres or the nitty gritty of why you like a song and accept that some people just like it based on vibes? (it’s me. i’m some people)
-“From The Start” by Good Kid
covers often are hit or miss, but this is an absolute banger. somehow combining the jazz of the orginal Laufey tune with indie rock is everything anyone could possibly need and more. plus the indie rock makes the heartthrob of the lyrics hit so much harder. the delivery of the lyrics is just đź‘Ś
it’s just the perfect song to belt out and i love it so much
-“Saturday Sun” by Vance Joy
indie folk!!! highly recommend!!! this shit is amazing!! the good vibes and the hope this song brings is just it.Â
something something being in love and being happy. this song is just great
-“About A Girl” by Nirvana
I really like grunge rock apparently. depressing grunge rock. and this is depressing as shit.
just- it- yeah i don’t even know what to say about this song. it’s great and sad and- yeah
yay! unhealthy relationships! (ahhhhhh)
-“Silver Springs” by Fleetwood Mac
i already posted about Rumours, but this is my favorite off the album, and it’s not even actually on the original album. passing this over for “I Don’t Want To Know” was certainly a choice, but i wasn’t alive in 1977 so what do i care? (i love both songs)
in terms of the actual song, i don’t have a marriage that’s coming to a tulmoltuous end, but the feminine rage emitted from this song is everything. if you ain’t singing your heart out in the second half, you’re doing it wrong.

recently took a break from my never ending loop of watching sex and the city, and binged the entirety of hbo's hacks.
when im in a fragile state of mind shows like satc tend to worsen my mood as i just find myself longing for the character's livelihoods. bedrotting watching carrie bradshaw work a 15 hour work week and frolic around new york in 1000 dollar dresses is not always soup for my soul.
this show was a nice break from that as i have no desire to live in vegas or pursue comedy. no envy in my body! just hyuks! sometimes! it is also kind of really corny at parts! but i still thoroughly enjoyed!
really easy watch. everything i liked and didn't like about the show clicked for me when i found out it was created by a lot of the same people who worked on broad city.

not exactly a poem per se, but it is to moi.
simple and succinct.
my mom would always read it to me as a kid and that little children's book will always be special to me.
i'll love you forever
i'll like you for always
as long as i'm living
my baby you'll be

it is crazy how a chinese restaurant will never disappoint. i may be biased as i am half chinese, but there is literally no better cuisine in the world.
good chinese, shitty chinese, any chinese, it is all always delectable. it cannot be fucked up.
sitting in a chinese restaurant will always make me feel at home cause no matter where you go they all feel the same. questionable cleaning practices, staff that take a billion years to catch the attention of, and a seemingly endless menu of the most insane food on the planet.
long live chinatown.
