I haven’t sat down and listened to music in a long time, but here are ten songs (in alphabetical order) that I’ve been listening to, as demanded by the wonderful @thyqueerblueberry :
1. All Along the Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix
Not a second of this song is skippable. Mesmerising.
2. Come On Baby Dance With Me by Shakti with John McLaughlin
Exactly what it says on the tin. Comforting and joyful and you will want to dance with someone.
3. Cornfield Chase by Hans Zimmer
At least this time it’s not from Inception.
4. In The Heat Of The Moment by Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds
Blame my TUA rewatch for this.
5. Know How by Young MC
My go-to writing background song if I ever need one. The words just shoot out when this is on, I swear.
6. Noir By Sunmi
Quite a popular K-Pop song. Give it a listen.
7. Only Happy When It Rains by Garbage
Listen.. HYYH yoonkook. That will be all.
8. RUN by BTS
Expect RUN, Outro: Tear and 134340 to always be in my head.
9. Washing Machine Heart by Mitski
For a video I’m editing. didn’t think I’d ever get tired of this song but here we are.
10. We Didn’t Start the Fire by Billy Joel
It was always burning since the world’s been turning ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
...not gonna lie, I’m really surprised that “When The Levee Breaks” and “Netsujou no Spectrum” aren’t on the list.
Since this is supposed to be a tagging game and I’m indecisive, anyone who interacts with @ulfie-by-osmosis is welcome to join in whenever they see this post :)

i love your blog and need need NEED to ask you if you have any opinion on this because people were talking abt it on twitter recently. if u don't tho it's fine! just wanna hear your thoughts. someone was talking about moments in kpop that were popular with the ppl but actually shouldn't be because they were designed for the male gaze and the two cbs mentioned were monster by irene&seulgi which, shocked me a bit. but more so the second which was sumni's tail. do you feel like tail stages/mv were designed to appeal mainly to men? genuinely this took me a aback a bit because yeah sure choreography makes sunmi appear extremely attractive and she wears revealing clothes but the power dynamics in the choreo and just in general in the camera movements in her performances during tail always made me think she's actually mocking men more than catering to them? anyways I hope this makes sense. sorry. just read it and immediately thought of u so I came here lol
;ALSKJF;LASJKF;LKJF THE CB WHERE THE ORIGINAL CHOREO WAS HER DIGGING HER HEELS INTO A MAN'S THIGHS????? THE MV WHERE SHE TIES A MAN TO RAILROAD TRACKS?????? THAT TAIL????????? god this is such a fucking stupid take i'm so sorry you had to read any of that anon. anyways here's my analysis post on the costumes in the tail mv and how they illustrate sunmi's (character's) reclaimation of power and masculine imagery.
but besides tail specifically, there is actually something i want to talk about here in regards to how this particular take smacks of an inability to understand basic critical and media analysis theory.
when you say that something shouldn't be enjoyed or engaged with, you imply that there is a should; a 'correct' way to engage or interpret a work. and there is NO correct way to interpret art. a massive problem with social media is that there is a hegemony on moralistic opinions. you have to have a 'good' opinion, you have to like the right things and hate the right things and why. because reasons. because some anonymous icon on the bird app said it was male gazy and therefore that apparently means it's bad. and yea i'm gonna sound like a fucking crank about this but you need to do your own readings. the male gaze is not a code of ethics, it is a theory of media analysis. and theories are tools that are meant to help you better understand the life you live and the ways that you engage with the world. YOU are the one that uses the tool, that makes the choice on when and how and where you use that tool, and also if you take into account the information that that tool provides. it's all about the nuance. unfortunate that the internet went and shot it in the back.
