Also, bob dlyan’s “christian trilogy”

Slow Train Coming, Saved, Shot of Love All pretty good to great. People get caught up on some weird production choices, and the in-your-face sincerity. And maybe there are moments of condescension and righteous anger.… but I’m not religious and I think “Every Grain of Sand,” and “Pressing On” are some of the best things he ever wrote. Plus I really love “Heart of Mine”

Dan English – Across My Jaw

I can’t believe Dan finally dropped the song after all this time! I don’t know Dan. Or who Dan is, really. But they say Dan’s upcoming record is a masterpiece. Everyone on my TL loves Dan. Or at least they say they love Dan. I guess I do too. Dan’s new song is good. So good that the first time I listened to it, I sold all my crypto and looked into buying a pony. Dan’s new song just makes me feel… I don’t know… beautiful. Maybe it’s all been done before, but I like it like this. Yep, lemme get one emo ballad with melodramatic strings, self-effacing vocals, and a gritty guitar solo endearingly afraid of overstaying its welcome, but make it Dan’s way. The truth is, you don’t need any context for the song to work its magic. You don’t need to know that Dan plays guitar in Porches, or that he once ran the most esteemed acoustic guitar orchestra New York City’s ever seen, or that Melody English did the backing vocals on the track. You don’t even need to be mutuals on IG. When you listen to “Across My Jaw,” Dan’s your friend.

gregg araki’s ‘the doom generation’

cartoonishly gory and melodramatic it may be, i have found a lot of catharsis in living vicariously through araki‘s articulation of queer angst, and how life in rural america can literally feel like stepping into hell itself; if you like irreverent protagonists and seeing bodily harm done to nazis, it’s a must ^_^

aphex twin — ‘drukqs’

depending on the day of the week, (usually a random wednesday on which i feel the more ravenously coveted releases of SAW vol. 1&2 can be overlong and at times unwieldy), drukqs is to me the most evocative distillation of aphex’s predilection for acid-break brutalizations and madcap sonic textures. it is, somehow, one of the albums i return to most and yet one of the last i’d ever recommend to a sane individual — and ironically, one of the worst to listen to while stoned. i can’t vouch for it enough

doing it again — every day

so far, turning 24 has brought with it the sobering realization that my life won’t simply happen to me, and all the boring, healthy, ritualistic sh*t—once seeming like baseless naïveté spouted unanimously by people who had this epiphany far sooner than i—actually works. so far, 24 has been about catching up to the me that i wanted to be by now, and giving myself grace for keeping her waiting. that baboon from bojack horseman might’ve been onto something. it does get a little easier, on the condition that you keep trying. i’m gonna go make some tea
