hi lucie!

3. a song that reminds you of summertime: elle me dit - mika! the first summer i went to camp our counselor played this song every morning to wake us up

15. a song that is a cover by another artist: i really rarely get into covers for some reason however i will always be partial to the arctic monkeys covering tame impala's feels like we only go backward

28. a song by an artist with a voice that you love: that's alright by laura mvula! one of my coworkers at the bookstore i used to work at used to play this album all the time and i absolutely fell in love with her voice <3

What would you consider the standard Vampire Folksinger uniform/go-to look for spring and summer?

The weather in San Francisco has been really unpredictable lately, but here's my semi-standard "uniform" recently:

Lightweight dress or blouse and black skirt

Large belt (or for fancier occasions, a corset)

Velvet shawl or jacket*

Statement necklace

Leggings

Black or patterned socks

Doc Martins

I don't always bother with makeup but when I do: lipstick, mascara, and messy eyeshadow crayon or eyeliner. Plus perfume!

*The velvet jacket I got at Buffalo Exchange a month ago is now that fabled "final part of my character design."

And the evil is done in hopes that evil surrenders / But the deeds of the devil are burned too deep in the embers / And a world of hunger in vengeance will always remember. -Phil Ochs, folksinger

This particular Tom Lewis (it's a pretty common name) is pretty big in the contemporary British Sea Shanty/folk music scene (He's the one who wrote "The Last Shanty").

In this particular video he gives background info for, and sings, a song about old time music hall life.

For some reason, it's classified by YouTube as "for kids" (even though the live audience is all adults, and there's a humorous verse about an extra marital affair). So I can't leave a comment saying how much I liked this one.

So I'm showing my appreciation this way.

Well, listen to the rumble, the rattle, and the roar

She glides along the woodlands, down the hills and by the shore

Hear the mighty rush of engine, hear the lonesome hobo call

Ride the rosin, break a bead on the Wabash Cannonball

12, 16, 20!

12. a performance you think is underrated: beating a dead horse here and for the upteenth time saying barbara shelley in cat girl (1957) and sally hawkins in maudie (2016)

16. a trilogy/franchise you like: the ringu and ju-on franchises cause there's nothing that makes me happier than a vengeaful and sad spirit girl spreading curses

20. a movie you think looks beautiful: soooo many but the first one that came to my mind is the red shoes (1948)
