This image is basically everything I like. I tried to compile all the favorite bands and styles. Of course, a lot was left out. for example, my favorite films and several bands that certainly deserved space on the poster. bands like C.W.Stoneking (my favorite musician), Joe Meek, The Residents, Psychic TV and the Cleaners From Venus (Martin Newell), Tom Waits... of films, I could have written Valerie and her week of wonders. Muholland Drive. Paris, Texas. American Graffiti or Moonrise Kingdom. Anyway, even though a lot of things were left out, a lot of my aesthetic is still here. Consider this image, kind of my version of that Meet The artist challenge. - I personally love Sarah Records, Goosebumps, the 60s, 70s and 80s (I literaly live in the past, baby. All my clothes, music and everything comes directly from the past!) outsider music, Twin Peaks and many others. Anyway, it took some work for me to put together this image, but I hope someone in this wild wild world gives some value to it. Ha ha.

JAMBOREE THREE -- TAKING PICTURES IN THE BATHROOM SINCE BEFORE YOU WERE BORN.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Bret, Heather, & Calvin of American indie rock band BEAT HAPPENING, during the band's "Jamboree" era, c. late 1980s/1988. 📸: Anne Culbertson.
"Contrary to the regimented roles in bands of the time, the trio swapped instruments with one another and used primitive techniques to capture their songs. The outcome was shaky, lo-fi recordings with off-key vocals and occasional chatter or tape hiss. They distributed their early recordings via cassette, not only to ensure that the music could be heard easily and affordably but also to confront the mainstream industry. Some have perceived their minimalist approach to making music as a calculated act of defiance to the more aggressive, macho punk that was kicking off at the time by the likes of BLACK FLAG and MINOR THREAT. It was about resourcefulness. "I think it was just doing the best we could with the tools we had," says Lewis."

im jude, he/him, nineteen.
This blog is archived kinda loosely- its mostly just a place to upload what i’m listening to everyday and hopefully expose a few of you to different sounds. My main interest is in twee pop, specifically the late 90’s-early 00’s period, but i’m fairly open to a lot of sounds adjacent to pop, indie, lo-fi and general cuteness. I secondarily hold a lot of love for the ironic twinge of 90’s powerpop and the commercial sweetness of bubblegum. My main wish is that more people would be open to the wide variety of sounds that comes out of pop subcultures! I currently gather most of my music from public sources like youtube, bandcamp, soundcloud, etc, so nothing i post here should be too difficult to find if you’d like to download it for yourself, but just lmk if you want to know where to find something ^_^
main: @pansyfemme
bandcamp
last.fm

Jangly: Poppy in a more upbeat and less cute way, none of this is really jangle pop, i just needed a term lol
Chill: Chill. Lots of feel good indie
Playful: Quirky, funny stuff. Lots of off key singing.
Punky: Not punky, but has clear influences from punk, mostly in vocals and speed.
Indietronica: Electronic stuff!
Nostalgic: Like stuff made in the 90s thats supposed to sound like it was made in the 60s. good vibes
