There's nothing more vital than a song which transports you immediately to a place in time that did not even exist but you feel nostalgic about. That dream of youth,
of living everyday like a summer nite -
with your friends just hanging around
feeling the breeze down your spine
or f*ck it even on your own,
roller skating in an empty driveway.
All your past mistakes or bad decisions that led where you are right now seems vanished while you just swinging on the notes of his singing sadly, smoothly, sweetly words like: 'Tell me, whats wrong?'

I basically want my life to feel like one of those sped up kinda shaky sexy 90s montages of a highway with streaks of headlights, the flow of the city at night, people driving in a tunnel... this song and its album give me that, every time.

You need one. It doesn’t have to last forever but it can provide solace or guidance in a certain time period, where everytime it plays, it just hits… it’s ur moment. I think over the summer I was « city grrl » by CSS , now I’m definitively weird fishes by radiohead and I’m loving it.

this year was filled with a lot of making it up as i went along and reminding myself that i do, in fact, have plenty of time. i was figuring out where, who, or what felt right and what to do and how to do it etc, etc, and this song was just a calming anthem to return to. i also have fond memories of listening to it (maybe a little too much) during the summer, and i really miss those sweaty firefly filled nights. this was one of the first summers i’ve ever missed; i usually despise the heat. so, i feel like that stands for something.

Just navigating for a moment my home/feed/timeline and I realized.... everything smeels like MySpace. Exciting fresh summer fruit air.
Was too young to even comprehend what was going on during the beginning of early 2000s (like most of u) and the only time I felt 'k00l' enough was when a random day on 2008 I signed up for Facebook, Youtube and Twitter. None of them were interesting enough to do much, except for posting pics/videos and write nonsense status about what was up in your baby-head.
At that point Myspace was long gone, buried in the silent internet black hole where you would just find all your """deleted""" embarassing moments and some uncrypted FBI cold cases files.
Now, in this post- T u m b l r and edulcorated saturation of Instagram & TikTok and commersalisation of 'being visually communicative', where can we find... our tribe, our forum, our sense of community 4real 4real > > > > this seems 2 b the place, or at leat A place to start. Just reading through all the recs I can see how everything reaches like-minded art-makers and tasters, without being too 'scene-keepers'.
This sounds like a homage, another type of ode, but it is coming from the depth of my heart, still seeking meaning between those digital coded lines, you know?!
Hopefully I am not wrong and I can meet up with many of you somewhere - NYC, LDN, anywhere our brainy music-geeks soul will bring us <3333
Feels like this is the beginning of a new chapter of my online presence, a post-adolescence virtual rebirth.

It's simple as riding a bike (after first failed attempts), but you got to do it regularly, if you stop you might fall easy in that obnoxious spiral of guilt where you feel like .... you don't fit in, you just don't belong - that's not right. You don't know that for sure. You got to keep trying to go that film nite, that local bands roaster gig, that DIY grassroots-boost event, that book club, that poetry open mic, that comedy show, that open call set (??) - I mean just go with the flow until your social battery runs low and you got to U-turn to your 'bat cave'. Your presence can change somebody's vibes when you walk in and give it a chance. In LDN is extremely challenging, NYC I guess is quite chill and buzzy at the same time, but hey, yolo at the end.

This is just a snippet, a draft, a screenshot of a frame of what I am working on. Yeeeeaaah I should shake my bump on that juicy beat while in a UGG's PR event showing off their 'new sound system' x new pair of sandals, but hey I got inspired by the workshop I attended on being (finally) another struggling no-label artist/DJ and this CREATIVE FORCE came over me...inside of me, within my limbs. To Promote My Own Thing. Here.
