A mai nap ugyanúgy megfelelő arra, mint bármelyik másik az eddigi 2020-asokból, hogy megosszam kedvenc 2019-es lemezeim listáját. Az elmúlt két évtizedben ezt mindig megtettem év végén, tavaly valahogyan elmaradt (leginkább mert nem törődtem vele és csak valamikor januárban csináltam meg) és most, hogy Loraine James bejelentett egy új EP-t (https://pitchfork.com/news/loraine-james-announces-nothing-ep-shares-new-song-listen/), eszembe jutott ez a lista, mert hogy Loraine James tavalyi LP-je a 2. rajta. Szóval teljes relevanciával, íme a kedvenc 2019-es lemezeim. Tényleg csak annak reményében, hogy hátha talál rajta valaki valami olyant, amit nem ismer és majd boldoggá teszi a meghallgatása.

És innentől már tényleg csak akit nagyon-nagyon érdekel :)

Szóval tavaly ugye januártól elkezdtem pontosan dokumentálni, hogy miket hallgattam meg az új termésből, mi mennyire tetszett. Hozzávetőleges, sokszor csak félig hallgatott lemezek értékelése volt, de aztán valamikor június-júliusban ráuntam, mert nem úgy haladt, ahogyan terveztem, sok tervezett meghallgatás felhalmozódott, nehéz projekt ez, mert hát egyre több jó, de nem kiemelkedő lemez van, masszív túltermelés zajlik. De hát ki mondja meg bárkinek, aki hangszerhez nyúl, hogy ne tegye. Vagy legalábbis ne adja közre, ami kijön belőle. De ha nem mondjuk senkinek ezt, akkor ki értékeli ezt a mérhetetlen mennyiséget, tényleg csak tipp: évente sokszázezer lemez jelenik meg. És hát hogyan lehet objektíven értékelni, ha nem úgy, hogy a lehető legtöbbet megpróbáljuk hallani? Nem csak, azt a pár tucatot, amit a hype, meg a haverok elénk hoznak.

Én ezt továbbra sem unom csinálni, továbbra is érdekel, hogy mi történik, kíváncsi vagyok, örömet okoz. De néha ráunok. Vagy elsodor. Azért az év második felét is behúztam úgy-ahogy, de év vége helyett valamikor 2020 januárban lett ez a lista, amire még később is rátettem tán két lemezt. Nincs vége ötvennél, amikor abbahagytam a szöszölést vele, akkor ennyi volt (138), amire úgy gondoltam, hogy ha évek múlva ránézek erre a listára, nem baj, ha a 112. helyen lévőről is beugrik majd valami.

Nem tudom mennyi 2019-es lemezt hallottam összesen, tippre ezerpárszázat, abból ez a java, van jó pár tucat, amit felírtam, hogy még mindenképp meghallgatni, de nem került rá sor. És én sem felejtem el, hogy simán lehetne még egyszer ennyi olyanból, amiről alig pár ember hallott, de ott van Bandcampen, mint 2019-es lemez.

Nem szigorú, nyilván. A lista mindig csak játék!

An Annotated Playlist to Accompany Your Reading of Pleasure Activism

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2eoQwDJipqb2BpIZqCIscQ?si=bRg4s4uhSqOXw02Ai2Pc2Q

In Section Three: A Circle of Sex, there is an essay, a compilation of interviews, titled “The Highs, Lows, and Blows of Casual Sex.” Upon reading this title, I immediately thought of one of my favorite songs at the moment, “High Highs to Low Lows” by Lolo Zouaï. I put this song on while I read this essay, and while not directly about sex, the concept of peaks and valleys really resonated with the text. “High Highs and Low Lows” set the mood for me to engage with “The Highs, Lows, and Blows of Casual Sex,” not just because of the lyrics but also the multidimensional sound and authenticity and vulnerability of Zouaï’s voice. Singing in both English and French, she covers so many deeply human feelings, from sexy to vulnerable, cocky to depressed, sensual to silly. Intentionally pairing this song with this reading (instead of just putting a random playlist on shuffle) gave me the idea of creating a playlist- this book needs a soundtrack, which I have attempted to create below.

A compilation of R&B, hip hop, pop, Latinx music and some 1970s Black feminist icons (namely, Nina Simone and Diana Ross), most of these songs are performed by people that identify as women of color, partly because that is in line with Pleasure Acitivism which “center[s] the experiences of Black women” and partly because that is what I often find myself listening to. However, as was true for adrienne maree brown and her book, this soundtrack “includes a few voices that are not Black or women-identified but that I trust in the human experience of finding pleasure beyond oppression” (brown 5). This playlist was inspired by and accompanied much of my reading of much of Pleasure Activism, shifting and growing as I read, enhancing the experience and adding meaning to both the text and the music. The songs in the soundtrack can be listened to while reading any section of the book, but there are some that deal directly with themes of the book, and for those I have identified a “pairing,” or specific essay or section that I recommend pairing with that song. The songs on the soundtrack are in the order of the recommended paired sections. It should be noted that given the time frame of this project and the fact that I am simultaneously finishing up my undergraduate senior thesis, I was only able to annotate a select few of the songs on the playlist, but in no way are the songs that are not described any less important, relevant, or magical.

Oh My God by Sevdaliza

Pairing: “The Legacy of ‘Uses of the Erotic,’ A Conversation with Cara Page” OR the Introduction to Section One, “Who Taught You to Feel Good?”

I originally added this song to the playlist because of its sound, described in one article as “a blend of trip-hop, avant pop, and electronica,” and its lyrics about self-discovery, realization, hope and dreams (Ingvaldsen 2020). Savdalize asks “Who should I be?” and notes that “I view myself from above/Roamin’ in the fields of hope/Will it make or break me/As my dreams are heavy, they outweigh me.” These comments about her exploration of self and the intensity of her dreams initially led to its inclusion on the playlist. However, after finding an interview with Sevdaliza, I realized just how crucial this song is for Pleasure Activism’s soundtrack. She is Iranian Dutch and a refugee who, according to the interview, “acnkowledg[es] the oppressive regimes and institutions of the world in an effort to reflect peace and solidarity through her aural artform” (Ingvaldsen 2020). In the interview, Sevdaliza says she “believe[s] in collective energy,” a concept not only explored in Pleasure Activism but also in our course throughout the semester. Additionally, she says that “heritage stands for a gift of profound insight, wisdom, and love. My heritage to me is like an inner-oracle. The one who knows. It is a mesmerizing voice, that becomes more clear as I am close to my authentic self. My heritage also connects me with deep feminine instincts; the wise woman within” (Ingvaldsen 2020). This connection to her heritage and ancestors reminded me of brown’s exploration of her own “personal pleasure lineage” and encouragement that her readers do the same (brown 21). Sevdaliza says, “our voices are meant to be heard, our stories meant to be shared,” a concept embodid by brown in Pleasure Activism.

Feeling Good by Nina Simone

Pairing: “The Sweetness of Salt, by Alexis Pauline Gumbs”

Video by India.Arie

Pairing: “Pussy Power, by Favianna Rodriguez”

Formation by Beyoncé

Pairing: “Wherein I Write about Sex” OR “The Pleasure of Living at the Same Time as Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter”

“High Highs to Low Lows” by Lolo Zouaï

Pairing: “The Highs, Lows, and Blows of Casual Sex”

How Deep Is Your Love (feat. Yebba) by PJ Morton

Pairing: “Feelmore, A Conversation with Nenna Joiner”

Girls Need Love (with Drake)- Remix by Summer Walker

Pairing: “Liberating Your Fantasies” or “The Highs, Lows, and Blows of Casual Sex”

Girls Need Love is a seductive, passionate, and honest piece in which Walker creates a personal narrative about her desires for sex and love while also grappling with the double standard that “girls” can’t be sexually liberated. She pushes back against the societal norms that “girls can’t never say they want it/girls can’t never say how/girls can’t never say they need it/girls can’t even say now.” She also stresses that her desire for casual sex is okay, a topic which brown analyzes in Highs, Lows, and Blows of Casual Sex” (“I don’t need a reason baby/Please don’t get in your feelings”). Another soulful R&B track, this song has a simple production with a main focus on the vocals.

BROWN SKIN GIRL (feat Blue Ivy Carter) by Beyoncé, Saint Jhn, Wizkid

Pairing: “The Pleasure of Living at the Same Time as Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter” OR “Wherein I Write about Sex” OR “Black Woman Wildness by Junauda Petrus”

Q.U.E.E.N. (feat. Erykah Badu) by Janelle Monáe

Pairing: “Fly as Hell, A Conversation with Sonya Renee Taylor”

Multi-Love by Unknown Mortal Orchestra

Pairing: “On Nonmonogamy”

Multi-Love is a song about polyamory, full of intimacy, vulnerability, and even discomfort and torment. Despite these intense feelings that are on display in Ruban Nielson’s (the lead singer’s) voice and in the lyrics, the instrumental aspect of the song is lighter and catchy, consisting of an upbeat keyboard tune and light, quick drum beats. These components come together to create a non-pretentious, spiritual, futuristic song that touches on many of the same topics as Pleasure Activism. For example, he talks about god, asking, “who is your god? Where is she?” Similarly, adrienne maree brown said that she “think[s] a lot about what god is, how god is, and where we are relating to and running from and surrendering to god” (brown 7). He sings about transitioning between single-love and multi-love (“We were one, then become three”), which reminded me of brown’s comments that “nonmonogamy tends to suit [her] best, even if [she is] occasionally focused on one lover” and her further analysis of multi-love in the subsection “On Nonmonogamy” (brown 8, 409). And finally, he talks about alludes to the non-binaryness of gender: “she doesn't want to be a man or a woman” (though the use of the pronoun “she” is somewhat troubling in this case). All in all, this song that is somehow at once crystal clear and mysteriously muffled belongs on the soundtrack because of its soulful, groovy nature, relevant lyricism and personal discovery about love, spirituality, vulnerability, and meaning. As a side note, I also felt like it fits well because Ruban Nielson’s delivery has been compared to that of Prince’s, who brown dedicates the book to.

The Other Woman by Nina Simone

Pairing: “Being Second”

Golden by Jill Scott

I’m Coming Out by Diana Ross

Universe by Ambar Lucid

La Negra Tiene Tumbao by Celia Cruz

Pairing: “On Fear, Shame, Death, and Humor, A Conversation between the Rocca Family and Zizi” OR “On the Pleasures of Wardrobe, A Conversation with Maori Karmael Holmes”

Beyond being an absolute Afro-Cuban and Latin music icon, and the Queen of Salsa, Celia Cruz is known for her fashion style; she always had on colorful wigs, sequins, crazy high heels, and incredible makeup (for this reason her song is paired with “On the Pleasures of Wardrobe”). This song was chosen because of its multifaceted nature; it spans the genres of jazz, salsa, reggae, and hip hop. She talks about the style, attitude, swag and sexiness of a black woman (in Spanish). Igniting the spark of pride in Latinx and Black identities for many, “La Negra Tiene Tumbao” is a timeless anthem about being proud of who you are, embracing blackness, and never moving out of the way for anybody.

Pelo Suelto by Gloria Trevi

The Pleasure Principle by Janet Jackson

February 3rd by Jorja Smith

Satisfaction Guaranteed by Junglepussy

This song is lush and deep as it envelopes you into its mesmerizing tune. Junglepussy’s slow, intense words of confidence and encouragement to feel fully, both spiritually and physically, wash over the listener like a wave (“Yeah, I’m the brown hottie with the body, looking like Rum Spice… Relax, as the aura ease you/In the flesh, let the physical please you”).

Soul Liberator by Kraak and Smaak feat. Sanguita

Feeling Myself by Nicki Minaj feat. Beyoncé

Cranes in the Sky by Solange

Hurry by Teyana Taylor feat. Kanye

Mujer Latina by Thalía

A Quién Le Importa by Thalía

I’m Every Woman by Whitney Houston

LUMPS 1.5: Hayes Encounters an Oracle

What? | Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four

I dedicate this chapter to my parents, who drove 30 minutes while I was away to get my stuff when my house sitting clients decided to come back a day early. You guys were and always are my heroes.

Sometimes, when Mylène is sleeping, I feel lonely. Like a part of me is missing. Like I can’t be me without her. Other times, it’s a relief. Most of my thoughts and ideas are mine. I don’t have to worry about her tastes interfering with my choices, or answering questions in French. I usually only catch brief flashes of her dreams; easy to tune out so I can focus. Today, though, en route to Dr. Dolent’s office, it’s lonely without her, even through the crippling exhaustion.

It’s not like I expected results right away, but MPS power honing class sucks, and not just because the first impression I made on the others was a blood-curdling scream. If I had her thoughts in my head right now, I wouldn’t be so embarrassed. I could draw a little on her confidence. But she’d be asleep for every class. I’m on my own in there. Panic begins to tighten my chest, but before it can take hold, a woman taps me on the shoulder.

“Don’t worry,” she says. “I’m an Oracle.”

I gasp, then lower my head to her in respect. Mylène is dreaming of a cat swatting at a tiny helicopter. I can’t help laughing, but then the sound catches in my throat as my face heats up. Great. Now an Oracle thinks I’m insane. Which I am, but still.

“Listen to me, Hayes,” she says, which is freaking awesome. She knows my name. “You’re going to have a great effect on this world very soon, but you need to know three things.” She looks at me like she expects a response, but you’re never supposed to interrupt an Oracle, and also every word I know has fallen out of my brain. She continues, “In no particular order: 883765, look under the garden gnome, and the crow hates electronica. That is all.”

Oh no. Oh no, I can’t remember how to thank an Oracle. You kiss the hand of Conjuror, bow to a Healer, but what do you to an Oracle? I never thought I’d have the honor. It’s some kind of phrase.

“It’s alright, Hayes. Most of us aren’t into the formalities; it’s so archaic. Oh, and one day you’ll meet her, though I’m not sure how it turns out.” She smiles. I fall a little bit in love, but then I get over it.

“Thank you,” I mutter, dipping my chin again.

“Just doing my job.” She turns to leave, turns back. “One more thing - Dana loves you.”

“Who?”

“You’ll find out.” She walks away and doesn’t look back this time.
