I really like how this song evokes a particular mood.
Video
Mandy, Indiana – Cursive
Magnifique!
GIMME SHELTER Rolling Stones Cover by Pretty Enemy
The audio quality on this is truly terrible. Just abysmal.
But…voice? Yeah, that’s great. But that guitar playing, holy fuck. She’s the only guitar player I’ve ever seen play this piece and get that Keith Richards raw raucous dirty sound. And look how she bends those notes. This the only performance of that piece that matches Richards.
Too bad about that turd-level audio.
Big Thief – โNotโ (Live at The Bunker Studio)
Wow, what a great performance.
Zuzu – The Van Is Evil
Another ton of fun.
ใซใใช โ weekly
That’s a lot of fun.
Meter – Dreaming
I thought this would be a near-instant skip when I first clicked on it, but it turned out to really fuckin’ rock.
Nice vibe and intensity.
Sable Sisters – Scarlet Town
Hella great.
Babehoven – Lasagna
What a great video! It’s amazing the difference when someone with actual filmmaking chops is at the helm. The initial faux newsclip perfectly captures the feel of those 1980s and 1990s local color segments that used to be ubiquitous.
Rising Appalachia – Chance at Wholesome
This is excellent. What great harmony.
MOOMINISUN – Autumn Home
Dreampop fun. Love it.
Ella Woolsey – winner
This definitively answers the question, “What if Beck, but a woman?”
Love it.
Swannanoa Town – Murphy Campbell
I have a rule: If I see a Murphy Campbell video, I click on it and I watch it. Never regretted it yet. She plays the banjo so beautifully. And that setting; makes me miss North Carolina.
Vid Too
I’ve started noticing a change in tattoos on women. It appears they are no longer considered cool or appealing by or on the most attractive women. The most desirable women are always at the vanguard of style so the rest will follow. Thank the fucking gods. What an aesthetic blight omnipresent tattoos have been.
I watch so, so many music videos. And like in the one below, in which you can see most of Belize’s skin, she has no visible tattoos. And the same for Sarah in the Pamela. video below that one.
Both Sarah and Belize are obviously extremely attractive women — easily in the top 0.01% there — and both have no tattoos. (In fact, both of the people in the band Pamela. — Sarah and Josh — are so absurdly good-looking I thought they were hired models and not the actual band the first time I watched one of their vids.) This lack of disfigurement would not have been true even a few years ago.
So as I pointed out at the start, where attractive women lead others will soon follow. I’ve also been seeing more Reddit posts and such where people (usually women) are talking about trying to find the money to get their much-regretted tattoos lasered off.
All good signs. Along with GLP-1s, it’s likely that soon so many people won’t walk around looking like fucking graffitied dumpsters again.
That benny blanco and Bb trickz video starts off kind of slow but the end is a banger (literally). I’m glad I watched the whole thing.
Lucy Dacus – Planting Tomatoes
Great song.
“Now I’m older than you’ll ever be
On a day you will never see”
Now why’d you have to go and write something like that. Reminds me of dead friends and past times, all in a place I no longer belong and never really did.
