listen here on youtube

so first of all thanks for 3,000 followers. holy shit. thats 3000 more than i expected so thanks

i really didnt think this blog would get to this point when i made it. and im never gonna get over how kind and encouraging you guys have been for me. unending respect & gratitude guys.

we're closin in on the end of 2023 now and im resolving to keep doing right by you guys and having fun running this blog with yall 🙂 thanks forever

i wanted to do somethin special for it and i thought id share one of my biggest inspirations for interpretin davekat. which is music i think they'd like. when you routinely blast davekat doodles onto mspaint canvases at 2am you need a backing track and these are common choices for me

3 songs for each dude for 3k fwlrs. man thats crazy...

tracklist + lil commentary under readmore

dave zone

1... 21st century pop song -- hymie's basement

this whole album i associate with dave a lot even tho its very depresse mode. i have way too many plays on this song. that beat is so real.

2... vice principal -- why?

that record scratch bit got me bouncing&trouncing manm. ive been listening to this song since i was a lil shitty kid. this voice is my headcanon voice for dave

3... re-do -- modern baseball

get a load of them lyrics son. passage of time, dinosaurs, trouble sleeping, watching movies, fear of death, love of life. recent fave, big fave.

KARKAT ZONE

4... i see failure -- antarctigo vespucci

another new beat 4 me but damn its an anthem. love dudes who shout. self fulfilling prophecies of relationship failure are peak karkat 2 me

5... the minors -- kawai sprite

i have never played friday night funky. i found this album by pure fuckin chance and its great, if you like this song give it a shot. sounds adult swim-y. i associate a lot of songs from this album with kk its a very distinct sound that i just connect with him fsr. the bittersweet sad anger of it

6... exactly where i'm at -- ween

this is a certified karkat classic 4 me. "look at yourself your lips are like 2 flabs of fat, they go front and back and flappity flappity flap". one of my fave things about ween is they have really vivid lyrics and rlly consistently hit this cool spacey, semi-aquatic vibe. i think this is because of drugs that they are awesome, so lets all do more druggs today

karen jackson and debbie gallagher.

something i’ve briefly mentioned before is how similar the characters karen jackson and debbie gallagher are, and i’m going to try to articulate my views the best i can, but it’s kind of hard to explain because there is so much to say.

big tw for rape

so, i’m not going to start off with the heavy stuff, just the basic similarities. for the record, i like debbie a lot more than karen because despite them doing similar things, karen’s intentions were always much more malicious.

a basic similarity between them are their parents. sheila and monica and frank and eddie aren’t very similar, but they are in the basic ways. karen and debbie were both raised by mentally ill mothers who were never able to do enough or be there for their daughters. their daughters ended up parenting them more than they parented their daughters. as for their fathers, they were physically present, but never emotionally present. eddie was more financially stable, and i don’t remember if he was an alcoholic, i don’t think he was, but regardless, they were both that type of father. and, they were always fighting with their wife, giving their daughter an unhealthy relationship with the men in her life.

karen lost her virginity at 11, debbie at 14. karen sexualized herself a lot, and so did debbie. both of them most likely attached their worth to their bodies, we know that debbie did. this doesn’t really count, but both girls are queer (karen is bi and debbie is a lesbian).

then, the rape. or the, as matty calls it, “statutory raping yourself”. for karen, she had the intention of raping frank. she saw him stumble into the basement, drowsy due to the pain medication (that he actually needed for his injury), started recording, and had sex with him, despite him begging her to stop. she recorded it to not only piss off her own father, but so that when someone with authority would stumble across the recording, frank would be arrested for statutory rape, because despite what happened, legally, karen was raped. for debbie, she doesn’t mean to. she’s told by people like mandy, (kind of lip), holly, and ellie that consent is something it isn’t, and she assumes that consent is basically just him being erect. she doesn’t even know what statutory rape is, or that when you’re drunk you can’t consent (i mean for fuck’s sake, look at frank and monica, who was going to tell her that?). but, karen and debbie basically did the same thing. guy much older than them is intoxicated, and then they have sex with them. the intentions were different, debbie wanted to lose her virginity and pursue a relationship with matty, and karen wanted revenge + frank to be arrested.

then, the baby-trapping. i have mixed emotions about them both in this case. for karen, she gets pregnant with a child that isn’t lip’s, and technically she doesn’t say it is lip’s, but she doesn’t deny that it is, either. i honestly wouldn’t consider it baby-trapping had she not said in 3x09 that all she needs to do to get lip back is “poke a hole in a condom” because it worked last time. debbie did mean to baby-trap derek, but her intentions were different. debbie heard from derek’s sister-in-law (or whatever the fuck she was lol) that if she had a baby with derek, she would get to be apart of a new, loving family. something that at the time, she didn’t really have (of course the gallagher’s love eachother, but season 5 was not a good time for them). so, she lies about being on birth control to derek (just like karen did to lip/timmy wong because according to lip, she was on the pill), has sex with him, and gets pregnant with franny. she’s so excited, and tells derek, and tries to start planning a family with derek, but derek runs away, and ditches her. the big difference is that karen didn’t want hymie, and debbie really wanted franny. plus, derek didn’t want franny (until later on but like fuck you derek), and lip really wanted hymie, (until he found out that hymie wasn’t his).

and we know that karen used to be a sweet little girl with a good relationship with her father, who fell victim to the world around her and was ruined. does that sound familiar? does the scene where karen destroys the basement in her dress, screaming about how she hates her father while her mother comforts her remind you of debbie hitting frank while her family watches in shock? it should.

they both get shitty endings, too. they started off as great characters, and then just were ruined. i love debbie’s character arc, especially in season 11, and i don’t necessarily think her story was ruined, but as a person she was. for karen, she was literally just ruined. like, they sent her off of the show by giving her brain damage and having her move to arizona to get some weird fake healing thing. debbie was just given a shitty, dangerous girlfriend who could probably hurt her or franny and also intends on leaving her and going to texas.

5 fave songs atm:

hymie’s basement - American Too

2003. rough indie pop (hint of midwest emo w/ clear hip hop influence) with simple & cyclical lyrics which still resonate.

“If you’re lonely, get a lobotomy”

Big Thief - Black Diamonds

2017. really loving big thief lately. hits me right where the desire lives.

“you could cry inside my arms. you could cry inside my arms like a child. you could cry”

bar italia - split ends

2020. sexy baseline and amp crackle. short and sweet. been looping it quite a lot. fun to sing along to while wine drunk.

“i don’t swim in the rain cus it gets on my skin, i dont try to be sorry i already am”

NINA - Grandiosee

2022. hypnagogic pop. under a minute. absolutely hypnotic.

i always mouth along to the “wauhwauhwauh” sound

The Crying Nudes - Bandit

2023. indie pop w/ sexy sounds like the past two on the list.

“you don’t have one more straight face left”

Gareth Campesinos!' favourite records of the decade

December 31st, 2009

This was torture, I swear. Only one album per-band (so that it wasn’t just a list of Xiu Xiu/Elverum albums. That rule occasionally stretched a little (hence no TITSJ or cLOUDDEAD etc). I’d written some stuff but Rob blew that out of the water yesterday, so here we go. Expect adjustments to be made in the comments section, as and when I realise I made horrific mistakes. A Top 20:

20. Meanwhile, Back In Communist Russia – Indian Ink “Drunken strangers trying to lock their eyes onto a body that’s slowly disappearing”

19. Electrelane – The Power Out “I loved you in the morning before the sun would come / you were the dawn to me”

18. Des Ark – Loose Lips Sink Ships “You think I don’t know that my lover’s got a sickness that I can’t fuck him out of”

17. Les Mouches – You’re Worth More To Me Than 1,000 Christians “Can’t find a noose, can’t find a razor, too good a swimmer”

16. Ten Grand – This Is The Way To Rule “Don’t let them get to you first”

15. Help She Can’t Swim – Fashionista Super Dance Troupe “Not everyone looks down on you, not half as much as I fucking do”

14. The Notwist – Neon Golden “Leave me paralysed love, leave me hypnotised, love”

13. Mull Historical Society – Loss “I tried to be afraid, I think that’s what you do”

12. Desaparecidos – Read Music/Speak Spanish “Swing low satellite, hot white chariot!”

11. Tim Hecker – Harmony In Ultra Violet “…”

10. Hymie’s Basement – Hymie’s Basement “when you’re gone I nibble at your lip space”

9. The Aislers Set – How I Learned To Write Backwards “If I’d never learned to love I would never have been hit by the train”

8. Gowns – Red State “You’ve gotta look it in the eyes and say that I don’t believe, you gotta hold it under water so you see where it bleeds”

7. Black Eyes – Black Eyes “The second you touched it it started to die inside, when you said “show me your tits” we were wishing you died”

6. Hood – Cold House “We spit in the pond to give the fish something to pray to” 5. the Organ – Grab That Gun “My neck hurts / ’cause I’ve been cutting moons”

4. Former Ghosts – Fleurs “Who is going to love you like I do?”

3. The Microphones – The Glow pt. II “And, like the moon, my chest was full because we both knew we’re just floating in space over molten rock, and we felt safe and we discovered that our skin is soft”

2. Parenthetical Girls – Safe As Houses “Our hands, our glands are both on the rampage”

1. Xiu Xiu –Knife Play “This is the worst vacation ever. I am going to cut open your forehead with a roofing shingle”
