pop music anon really came back after i blocked them and said every person they've ever talked to about music thinks all pop stars suck.

I should probably feel a little self conscious about the fact that it took me this long to notice it, but from roughly act 2 onwards, Paul and Emma are wearing essentially the same outfit. that's pretty neat. it makes them stand out from the rest of the cast (i dont think anyone else wears just black and white) while creating a visual link between the two of them.

here they are being mad at Ted together! <3

I'm going to preface this story by saying: I don't necessarily believe in karma, but

I may have been walking through today with a vague sense of disbelief tainted with unkind smugness after my tiktok fyp was flooded with poor fans who tried to get presale ticket to one mr n. kahan's new tour only to find that demand was through the roof and GA pit tickets were seriously going for $300, in presale, and even the "worst" tickets in the lawn were going for $70

and while I undoubtedly think it's deeply unethical for both platforms (thanks ticketmaster) and artists to allow such dramatic ticket cost inflation, I also generally don't relate...

I (VERY LUCKILY) gravitate towards smaller acts, and the most I've paid for a ticket all year has been, like... $90 for a ticket to beyonce, which got cancelled and I was refunded lol. if I look back at all my receipts from shows this year, most have been around $50/ticket after fees, and several have been closer to $20. my favorite show I've seen all year was a $15 ticket.

it's mostly luck—I tend to like smaller acts, and I've been seeing mainly rock acts this year, and those tickets simply don't run as high as pop acts. and part of me is honestly very grateful that I haven't been swept into any of the really recent huge acts.

I think of all the people scrabbling for boygenius or taylor swift tickets and how much money they've had to shell out... how a lot of them don't even GET to see the acts they want to see because they've been priced out or tickets sold out. I can't remember the last time a show I wanted to go to sold out lol. maybe bastille in london?

and again, it's just a matter of luck that I'm not really into any of these megastars and therefore don't have to compete in the gladiator arena to try to see shows I want to see, but sometimes luck manifests as a feeling of self-satisfaction, you know? who among us hasn't experienced a little self-superiority from time to time.

look, if YOUR tiktok was flooded with people saying concerts have been awful since 2021 (including rock and metal shows), but every concert YOU'VE been to since 2021 was amazing and the crowds were really good and you always got tickets and it never broke the bank, you'd feel pretty validated in your choice of musicians and the crowds they attract too, alright?? sue me! I felt frugal AND undeservedly clever!

anyways back to karma. guess who got invited and subsequently agreed to shell out $70 to sit in a lawn and listen to mr. n. kahan sing. I'll give you a hint, her tumblr username starts with an r and ends with an s

If you ever feel like you can’t like an artist, album, song, or anything because the person who introduced it to you turned out to be a dick, just remember being a curator is it’s own job.

People go to art school, get an education, and have an entire job that is just curating. The curator themselves are artists. You curate the art that makes you who you are and what art becomes part of your identity. Just because they showed you that art and you still like it doesn’t mean they’re still a part of you.

You curate yourself and just overlapping some of the pieces in your exhibits within the museum of your life doesn’t mean it tells the same story. How you curate it within you is in and of itself it’s own art and the person who showed it to you doesn’t have to be a part of it if you don’t want them to be.

If I posted a Genius website type of annotation of my song lyrics, is that a thing people would be interested in?

Just finished Gideon the ninth. What the fuck. Why did you guys just water this down to Lesbians. This was a whole ass murder mystery and y’all weren’t lying about the enemies bit. Like damn they hated each other for 89% of the book
