»in an effort to combat overpopulation, the postmortem social network 'anvil' is released.«
okay obviously, i don't rec or look forward to a social network like that. it sounds fucking horrible. but, but, but—the music video is dark and disturbing and absolutely beautiful. and the track slaps, too.
just drove a friend home, and after dropping her off, i queued this one up and slowly drove back through the night on almost-empty streets.

there is something so cool about this unspoken juxtaposition rule in the more psychologically volatile genres, where the lyrics are bleak and anxious, always tapping into darker territory, but the melody remains beautiful and oddly comforting. i have been re-looping lots of carissa’s wierd - songs about leaving lately, and now this thought refuses to leave me alone. idk!!!! it’s just such a common case where something viscerally crushing happens to produce the most tender and fragile sounds, and i know it is a bit of a cornplate-level observation, but i have been pondering a lot about this

Simple, stunning, monstrous, beautiful, melancholic, serene, crushing yet somehow hopeful. My absolute favourite music video; I watch it often.

im sure u all know this but i never listened to broken social scene bc their name sounded like all the scramz bands my sister listened to when i was a kid that scared and confused and annoyed me but my friend eleanor showed me this song like 2 months ago when we were out on the porch huddling together for warmth and it is beautiful and devastating. i love when a song is so blunt that it feels like a lead pipe.
"i swore i drank your piss that night to see if i could live"

okay, you don't have to be rude about it. but you can actually say to objects, "hey, object, you're another kind of object now."
when reading before bed last night, i couldn't remember where my bookmark was. so i just threw out my arm into space, let my hand find... something.
a drink coaster.
and—yeah. i just threw it in there. in the book. and it worked! (at least, i think it did. i haven't tried reading again today.)

it's so good. i've done it since i was a kid. have you ever tried it? nighttime is the best, here's how i do it:
1. i walk into a room with a heavy, cozy, persian carpet on the floor. (in my apartment, there's only one such room.)
2. i lie down (on the floor).
3. i listen to music.
it's pretty easy, really. try it! i've attached a screen grab where you can see how it's done. that's hirayama from perfect days (great film).
here are three tracks for nighty night-time listening in no particular order.
• when u sleep
• you have telescoping arms and fingers (but I still love yooou!)
• et bånd
