I wish Americans fucked with more foreign music. You don’t have to know the language to appreciate a good record. Folks in other countries listen to our music and don’t speak a lick of english. Music needs no translator

While I’m devoting my blog to the letters of Fiona Apple today, I might as well share this one that she wrote to me.

I met her very briefly before a show back in 2000, only a couple days after that Roseland meltdown, and I handed her a letter wherein I told her I was in my school’s gay-straight alliance and was wondering if she would write a sentence or two of support. “Could you say some nice stuff about gay people?”, basically.

Quite frankly, 16-year-old me was much more interested in interacting with a celebrity than building an alliance between gays and straights, but Fiona took me at my word and wrote me this really sweet letter. The show was on a Friday, and I got this via FedEx the following Tuesday, and she even apologizes for it taking so long. For much of the 12 years that have passed since these events transpired, this has been the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me.

I’ve met her a couple times since, but I never got a chance thank her for taking some time out and being so thoughtful, especially for a lonely weirdo like me. Maybe someday.

Hello Bill,

I got your letter a few days ago, but this is the first chance I’ve had to sit down and write (it’s my day off) Of course, I’d love to help – sign me up. As far as a few sentences go, here’s what I’ve got – I hope it’s OK:

It’s hard to conjure up some new profound way of commenting on this issue – I’m so tired of it being an issue at all, and I suppose I’m lucky, because I see the truth so clearly. All I know I want my friends to be good people, and when my friends fall in love, I want them to fall in love with other good people. How can you go wrong with two people in love? If a good boy loves a good girl, good. If a good boy loves another good boy, good. And if a good girl loves the goodness in good boys and good girls, then all you have is more goodness, and goodness has nothing to do with sexual orientation. A person who loves is a righteous person, and if someone has the ability and desire to show love another – to someone willing to receive it, then for goodness’ sake, let them do it. Hate has no place in the equation; there is no function for it to perform. Love is love, and there will never be too much.

-Fiona Apple

STARFUCKER is the perfect escapist album of 2023

I seriously can't get enough of it. The concept, the tracks, everything. I feel like I'm right there at the Chateau.

#slayyyter #starfucker #this album reminded me how awesome pop can be #make this woman mainstream already so she tours europe </3 #Spotify

no, someone's pain is not your tinder "anthem"

TW: mention of SA

so i've been spending some time on dating apps and i've noticed a very weird phenomenon. why on earth would you put a song in which an artist is being vulnerable about their lived traumatic experiences as your "anthem" on apps like tinder. i wanted to let this out because i'm genuinely confused if my frustration is justified or if it's my inner music elitist taking over. for instance, i've been a big Lana fan for pretty much half of my life at this point. if i see someone with her music on their profile i'll most likely try to connect so we can bond over our shared interest! but, it grinds my fucking gears when i see someone link a song like a&w as their anthem. are we okay? sure, i find the song highly relatable - the lived experience of having your body be perceived in ways outside of your control + SA are things that will resonate with many people. but how can you not feel at least a bit weird using a song sharing r*pe experiences as your tinder anthem. even if it's relatable to you, this is another person's pain and broadcasting it like that for an aesthetic or whatever these people are doing is really not cool. lmk if you have any thoughts im just ranting atp

I knew having Redditors cross-train on Tumblr would produce weird fucking magic.

#based post aside this is a reminder that Lana Del Rey's Video Games is about WoW
