feeling super mixed right now. lyrics are classic lily allen (i love lily allen) and generally palatable talking about objectification, gender roles. video seems a bit problematic. i get that the general metaphor is this story of being pushed into an overly sexualized exploitative role as a musician (i think?) within the context of a society that places unrealistic beauty standards on ladies—i mean, none of this is ground-breaking industry satire, just cheeky for a pop song—but the twerking backup dancers feel too on the nose and it's like so uncomfortable to watch

how do i feel? i don't know how to feel. some of the lyrics/imagery are quite crude and i still don't know if that directness is necessary or just feels like buying into this over-sexualized kinda shit. i think it feels a bit too much on-the-nose as opposed to subversive for me? the video, at least.

general referenced material: "it's hard out here for a pimp", robin thicke's "blurred lines", joan didion's VMA performance.

on a dan deacon kick today

[hunnish]

Been listening exclusively to piano instrumentals for the past couple weeks. If you like those two, also listen to A Fragile Campaign and A Minor Waltz. Those are my favorites off the album.


Also this

Been listening to Azealia Banks and alternately wanting to dance and bunch something. Angry girl music is the best.

I don't know if it's been stress because of exams, insecurity about my future, or seasonal depression, but it's been really easy for me to get really nostalgic about this time where i was a lot happier than i am now. I wasn't smoking, I was eating better, I was in the middle of a great relationship that I handled way too immaturely, and I was surrounded by great friends I felt so comfortable and at home around. Since coming to college I've developed some bad anxiety, which I guess is to be expected, but I just feel so distanced from the community and friends I live in/with (partly my fault for not knowing what I wanted from a campus experience). I just feel unmotivated to change anything, despite being so uncomfortable where I am, and this stagnancy just feels really shitty. My family keeps pressuring me about what my next step will be but I can never really answer confidently. At the same time, my friend (who is practically a brother to me) is beginning his second round of chemotherapy after being diagnosed with lymphoma last January and I tend to think about when times were a lot simpler and easier to handle.

Maybe this is a part of growing up, but sometimes I feel like I'm fighting just to keep head above the water.

Excuse my ramblings, I should be studying for an exam.

I've been listening a lot to jazz and soul covers, but would love to hear more genre covers. Feel free to share some to me on irc or here (smiling)
