Don't have a spotify wrapped thingy since I pirate all of my music but I guess I could post what i've been listening to in november. 🎵

(I also censored that one Unsane cover art cuz it (apparently) has a picture of a corpse in it. Looks fake to me but ehh, I might as well hide that shit dsbfhsdbg)

[sashasparrow]

okay since this is the pretentious website which artist in your top 100 songs has the fewest listeners and how many listeners do they have

march 2023 listening

been a minute but idk dude, when new music hits it hits and when it doesn't we just put on old bangers and keep it movin. here's what i've been listening to anyway

little simz no thank you im just kind of obsessed with the bigg art collectrrr silent investrrr film directrrr part on gorilla

skrillex quest for fire im a millennial ok so when skrill released an album for the first time in almost 10 years it was appointment listening for the laffs if nothing else. i mean, skrillex is good at what he does: he combines all the current production trends into something fun to listen to. quest for fire was a fun listen! i wont apologize! i like too bizarre (juked) because i love a glitchy repetitive little earworm. don't get too close was thoroughly unnecessary though.

got the beat stamp on it dont come for me, i got stockholm syndrome'd while learning the choreography

red velvet reve festival 2022 i didnt think this mini had staying power but for me 'oops we are on a ride' has become a cute younger sibling to 'fuck it we ball' whenever anything unexpected happens

zella day sunday in heaven i liked this album well enough when it came out but mushroom punch has become a top tier dishwashing karaoke track in my house

fka twigs caprisongs still 2022 aoty im not letting this one go. fuck crying over these stupid boys jobs that dont even recognize the worff in themselves, just trying to steal your youff! byye byeeeee

xg shooting star ugh i should have written a whole post about this when it came out but top to bottom im just in love with shooting star and left right. WHO is doing their styling and concept work, they are nailing it. i gushed about the styling in this comeback on my main blog so much that you're getting the dregs here but EVERY outfit in this era is fire -- it made me want to go find some 2000s frosted eyeshadow palettes fuck!! this laid-back r&b sound works for them so well i need xg world domination yesterday

soutaiseiriron tensei jingle a friend and i were swapping jpop playlists recently, tensei jingle & town age have nestled so well into my spring listening

ive kitsch i dont care if it was clearly supposed to be 90s bitch before starship bought the track!! i dont care if the rap is abysmal!! i dont speak korean i dont care if its cringey!! listen to that little cuckoo clock sample, its silly!! justice for liz tho

2023 kpop comebacks are about to hit their stride in the coming months so im hoping to have some delicious treats soon

[fu-cough]

i’ve been scratching my head over the whole watcher situation. I’m not a fan myself but got dragged into it cus of the people I follow, i only watched their puppet history series and the buzzfeed unsolved series from way back- honestly, i couldn’t care less if they locked all their stuff behind a paywall. I’m so neutral on this whole thing, i might as well be swiss.

but i’m not neutral? In fact, the whole thing really bothers me and i couldn’t figure out why.

cus i get it, yanno. As a company that thrives on creativity, i understand you’d wanna cut yourself off the mega-capatalist-giant that is youtube to get rid of annoying restrictions, and asking monetary support from your audience so you can really stretch the limit of your creativity. I GET IT.

And it STILL bothers me!

And then I figured it out:

the whole “any future videos they’ll be making will EXCLUSIVELY be available through a streaming service you have to pay a monthly subscription for” comes less across as “please support us monetarily so we can grow as creators”, and comes more across as “if you want to continue being a fan, or even being a part of the audience, you’re gonna have to pay up. You have no choice in the matter. It’s either pay, or you’re not a ‘real’ fan or a ‘real’ part of our audience.”

THAT’S what’s bothering me about it. It feels like they’re gatekeeping who gets to be part of their community with money (that not everyone might have). And knowing where they come from and how they started…. That’s… extremely tone deaf. To put it gently.
