WHAT A GOOD DAY TO BE ALIVE
New album coming out in September, Blurryface is 10 AND Clancy is 1! I'm so so excited for the new album and good lord am I excited for the lore. Speaking of the lore, my friends are so sick of me rambling incoherantly they've said I can present on it at our next slideshow night. Safe to say there is a document OPEN and being worked on relentlessly. Revisiting all the lore from Vessel (yes I think it starts there) all the way to Clancy is so exciting and so nostalgic. I first started listening in 2015 when Blurryface came out and learnt all the lore during the Trench era and revisiting it is so crazy. Realising I've gained all this knowledge from albums and music videos is crazy work because good god I am discusting educated on this nonsense. If anyone would like a link to the document where I'm going through the lore in chronological order, split into the songs I think are lore accurate, just ask! I'm happy to send you the link.

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️

🎸One of my favourite albums from one of my favourite bands of all time. I will never get tired of this album, especially with all of the lore(comics, music videos)

s/o @LLQ the format you used was good..
1. My X/1999 collection (ignore Ai) Actually Ai being included is kinda perfect. X was never finished but I love it dearly. I loved Oshi No Ko until it was finished because the ending was actually so bad it undermined everything that happened in the 4 year run it had. CLAMP's art is beautiful.. I stumbled upon it once many years ago online scraping through anime websites. Much later on I was trying to remember it's name and had to dedicate a few days of searching to rediscover it. Now I own it all as well as the short anime run it had. 2. Signed Tailwhip 7" Yeah so I camped out after the first Men I Trust headline show I went to. I waited outside with maybe 6 other people for an hour and a half. It was freezing mid December in Boston but it was a nice time talking with them. This was the first show I went to alone. To this day I feel awful about it because it was the last night of their tour and they probably wanted to just drive home but at the time I was ecstatic. Just saw them twice this weekend I love the band so much still 3. Cloud Cuckoo Land So I believe this is the first book I read as an adult outside of school. It was either this or Richard Powers' Overstory. Both of which are fantastic. This book in particular is a $50 Barnes and Noble collectors version which I bought for $2 at a used bookstore. It was essentially brand new. I then proceeded to nosebleed on it while reading in the car. So it is mine now and forever. 4. Quasi zine On their last run of US shows, I bought this on the first night up in Boston. Later that summer I spent a couple nights in Manhattan to see Liana Flores and Quasi again back to back. This was a week before my knee surgery and effectively the last cool thing I would be doing for the summer. I finally got to talk to Sam after this show. He's one of my favorite music people ever and was so surreal to talk to for a bit. 5. Lady Brown single The first record I ever bought. This is my favorite Nujabes song. Never took it out of the plastic 😛. I grew out of records anyways, too big and fragile.. I always treat them like I'm handling glass and it makes me anxious.. but anyways, he defined my late middle school/early high school music taste. The sample used would later get me *wayy* into classical guitar. On a lot of fronts this music was super formative for me and the record had a place on my wall for a very long time before moving it to a crate.

🚿I have a shower. A hot shower. A long shower. I carve out at least an hour for a long shower which includes the following; Curly hair routine (and lose half my head of hair), scrub scrub, clean under nails, shave AND use a foaming cleanser! I love my scalp scrubber too. After the shower I like to do my nails and some skincare. Just helps me feel more on top of things hehe

🗓I LOVE A PHYSICAL CALANDER
I like to get a cute calander online (currently Van Gogh paintings) and write deadlines and events on it. Physically writing on it and crossing off days helps me keep on track in a way my phone/chromebooks calander never has. You can colour code! You can scribble! I just flip over to a new month, add my weekly commitments and then check my assesment schedule for school and add those, along with anything which comes up. so much better than a non physical one for me <3

These are from last.fm and I'm not entirely sure how accurate they are but it feels about right
