Stop I just heard about what ginge has been doing to madame joyce *its on her insta* like idc if people aren’t the biggest fan of her what he’s doing is straight up harassment and bullying wth :(

Omg i have not heard about this??? Right, on my way to insta to see what he's been doing (if he's been commenting or whatevs)...

Right, not finding anything on her Insta that he's commented on, but he does follow her so it's a little bit weird to be hating n slandering her whilst also following her?? Right, also doing a TikTok scan...

OKAY, so err... yeah he's REALLY got her name in his mouth.

As I've said, I haven't watched this locked in SZN but I sorta know that Joyce is a bit annoying, and the audience absolutely despises her. They think she's annoying, "UK beast", jarring... Yeah, she's receiving a little bit of what's known as ONLINE FUCKING BULLYING because people don't vibe w her.

In a way it's sorta valid; if you dislike someone you're mean to them. But holy shit, them way the audience is so rude to her, like, sending emails, DMs, comenting on her posts... No, it's just bullying which I don't rly support towards (almost) anyone :/

Especially when it's someone with a large platform, using their audience to direct hate at someone w/ less followers to defend them; ergo, the introduction of AngryGinge13.

Ginge is setting her up for so much more failure as well, because if he's genuinely "orchestrated" (~Madame Joyce's TikTok) that police phone call w one of his mates, faking that the Manchester Police called him on charges of assault (to Joyce) I might start genuinely disliking Ginge.

Realistically - throwing a crumpet at someone is assault.

An assault is by definition, a "physical attack"- sure- throwing a crumpet isn't all that serious but if Ginge has done that with malicious intent and/or with a lot of force, it does class as aggression, ergo violence and furthermore can be classed under assault (though it is a grey area bc it can also be argued against...)

Thing is that, I feel as though nobody is taking it serious (for Joyce) because that word ("assault") isn't necessarily thrown around, but you hear it used quite a bit (especially with a rise in feminist culture with female adolescents) which other adolescent boys/men scorn and frown upon because they simply see "assault" used as a hyperbole or over exaggeration. I mean, these boys/men/manchildren show it when they mock or demean "sexual harassment", seeing it as all one big attention grab and lie that women make-up to make a situation sound worse- because they DO NOT REALISE, that certain actions do class as sexual harassment... they just choose to ignore this, because they are typically not sexually harassed and thus cannot vouch for what sexual harassment looks like and have no real idea of the frequency of it, the emotions it makes people feel, what it looks like... And due to that lack of empathy, boys/men/manchildren look at women who say that they have been "assaulted" or "sexually harassed" and see it as one big, unserious thing women blow out of proportion, because they're hysterical! sensitive! snowflakes!

It's so infuriating because I know damn well that people don't take Joyce's narrative serious because they're holding prejudices of her being annoying and thus using that as a reason to not believe her or instil any sort of empathy or sympathy towards her because they cannot get over petty, parasocial grudges (i.e. her being "annoying") and look at the moral reality of a situation. Plus, the usage of the word "assault" (on Joyce's IG story to describe Ginge throwing/forcing down her throat, a crumpet [narrative isn't clear, Ginge n Joyce say diff things]) is just being looked over or considered unserious by the audience which is of course mainly insensitive adolescent boys who believe that is just an attention seeking word for women to use. And I feel like Ginge fully knows the connotations of that diction, and he's used it to demonise Joyce even more by creating a sense of "look at this woman misuse the word assault and try and demonise ME, let's all hate on her for being such a bitch!", which is engaging these manchildren in a way that makes them feel validated for hating on Joyce and further adds more fuel to the hate Joyce train!

I really liked Ginge and all but bloody Hell, he needs to patten up and realise how horrid it is that he's using his platform to send stupid amounts of hate to a women all because he finds her annoying.

I hope that's made sense asw bc I know it's a little bit waffly/contextual and feminist waffle-y...

Just know that I'm struggling to support angryginge atm esp when he's just conducting stupid hate trains like this one which'll probably be irrelevant and discontinued by the end of the month, yet it'll have probably long-lasting effects on Joyce for many more months, whereby she'll still be called "UK beast" and "jarring" and all that just because Ginge decided to use his platform to demonise the fuck out of Joyce over what was likely a pretty agreement

Someone just agree with me and end my waffling, man

#WAFFLE!!#madame joyce #joyce #locked in #lockedin #footasylum #angryginge #angryginge13 #angry ginge #morgan burtwistle #feminism #male privilege #UGHHHHHHHH I JUST HATE STUPID SEXISM AND CLASSISM AND STUPID DISCRIMINATIONS IN LIFE #Just let people do their own things and if you dislike what they're doing; let then do their own things just further from you

Rainy Dawg Radio's Favorite Lyrics Ever

These are, to our best knowledge, our favorite lyrics ever.

Parks

“Stuck Inside of Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again” - Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde

“Grandpa died last week and now he’s buried in the rocks. But everybody still talks about how badly they were shocked. But me, I expected it to happen, I knew he’d lost control. When I built a speed fire on Main Street and shot it full of holes.”

Bob Dylan.

“Ballad of the Last Five Years”- The Guess Who - Road Food

“So step right up and put your music where your mouth is.”

Just an all around amazing line. Also The Guess Who is definitely one of the top bands out of Canada. And I do not take constructive criticism.

“Up the Junction” - Squeeze - Cool for Cats

“I never thought it would happen between me and the girl from Clapham.”

The opening line of “Up the Junction” sets up one of my top ten favorite narrative songs of all time. Also see “A Quick One While He’s Away” by The Who, which is another one of the best narrative pieces, but the lyrics don’t stick to the inside of your brain quite like Squeeze.

“Everyday I Write the Book” - Elvis Costello -Punch the Clock

“Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal, I’d still own the film rights and be working on the sequel.”

There’s so many Costello lyrics I could have put here, but “Everyday I Write the Book” is cute, clever and one of the few not-depressing songs he’s written.

“What’s the Ugliest Part of Your Body” - The Mothers of Invention - We’re Only in it For the Money

“What’s the ugliest part of your body? Some say your nose. Some say your toes. But I think it’s your mind.”

What’s a song written by Zappa without some cynicism? Here he’s criticizing societal and generational ignorance, as per usual. In short, some people are real stupid.

“Andy’s Chest” - The Velvet Underground - VU

“And just like in a movie, her hands became her feet. Her belly button became her mouth which meant she tasted what she’d speak.”

Thank you Lou Reed, you have outdone yourself.

DJ eyelyds

In no particular order…and also as of right now because everything I like is tinged by extreme recency bias.

“Web in Front” Archers of Loaf Icky Mettle

“Stuck a pin in your backbone/ Spoke it down from there/ All I ever wanted was to be your spine”

As the opening lyrics of this two-minute song cut into the mix before any of the instrumentals get a chance, the catchy tone of lead singer/guitarist Eric Bachmann’s songwriting is apparent. His performance on both guitar and vocals has this nervous, sporadic energy that feels like it’s just barely being reigned in lends itself nicely to the subject matter of the song. For me, I read it as an obsessive almost neurotic love song. Bachmann wants so desperately to support this person that he would be happy physically being a part of them; to be their spine. More than happy actually, it’s all he ever wanted

“Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales (Live at O2 Forum Kentish Town, London, England) Car Seat Headrest Commit Yourself Completely”

“And if you can’t find your friends, you can leave without them/ And if you run out of drugs, you can sleep without them/ And if you want to go home, you can call a taxi/ And if you don’t wanna talk, you can sit in the backseat/ Please! Please”

In this live rendition of “Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales” off the 2019 live album Commit Yourself Completely Will Toledo adds this outro/verse. It connects to the themes throughout the song of well… not driving drunk. But it has a more bittersweet tone than a PSA ever could, especially in the context of the entire album of Teens of Denial, especially considering the song “Drugs With Friends.” Toledo is great at painting drug use as almost a marker of innocence and notes the isolation that can come from overuse. The opening line of the added outro, “And if you can’t find your friends, you can leave without” has a sort of tongue-in-cheek tone, in the sense that it is genuine advice to get home safe, but also is a somewhat childish way of exiting the situation. Toledo knows that he’s not a saint, nor an authority. He’s just made the same mistakes and is trying to make sure you don’t do the same. Please don’t do the same.

“Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl” Broken Social Scene You Forgot It In People

“Park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me”

Sung by Metric’s Emily Haines, this whole song makes heavy use of repetition, with every lyric being said at least four times. This line is repeated the most and is also my personal favorite of the song. You can read it in so many different ways. Initially, I read it as being said to a lover, and hoping that they are constantly thinking about her. But the more interesting reading (and probably the more accurate one when considering the title) is a message to herself when she was seventeen. With this lyric specifically, a message to think about her future in a positive light, and not worry too much about her current anxieties: slow down, stop driving, take a rest, and think about your future. Not of all of the anxieties of being older, but rather the assurance that things will ultimately work out. The repetition of the line, as well as the amount of sincerity in her tone of voice help to sell this line, and the themes of the song in general.

soph

“As the World Falls Down” - David Bowie - Labyrinth

“I’ll paint you mornings of gold/I’ll paint you Valentine evenings/Though we’re strangers ‘til now/We’re choosing the path/Between the stars/I’ll leave my love/Between the stars”

Dorky love song for the dorkiest movie. It’s so cheesy but I will say the lyrics make me emo. I want someone to love me the way Jareth loves Sarah. :(

“Army of Ancients” - Dr. Dog - Fate

“I don’t wanna wake up/I don’t wanna move/I’ll skip the sermon and stick to the booze/I’m sorry/But I’ll take what I want in the dawn’s early light”

I think the build up to “I’m sorry” is what really gets me with these lyrics. You gotta listen to understand how he screams it. He’s truly sorry.

“Sports” - Viagra Boys - Street Worms

“Baseball/Basketball/Wiener dog/Short shorts, cigarette/Surfboard, ping pong/Rugby ball, wiener dog/Skiing down on the beach/Sports”

Epitome of America in this one. This reminds me of the horrors of high and middle school gym class.

Ben

These are the lyrics that make me laugh the most. Attempting to narrow down the lyrics that are most meaningful to me was making my head hurt.

"Harlem shake? Nah, I'm in Harlem shaking the weight

Shaking to bake, shaking the Jakes

Kill you, shoot the funeral up and Harlem Shake at your wake"

-Cam’ron, “Down and Out”

If the lyrics from this video counted, I would have included “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall/Splattered his skull/I witnessed it/That was my dawg,” but I will settle for the original. Every word spoken by Cam'ron on Purple Haze is tattoed to my subconcious.

"See me on the court if you wanna diss me

Let's play a game of 21, it's really fun

I got half court shots and I'll post you up

I'm Latrell Sprewell, I'll choke the coach"

-Lil B - “Fuck KD”

I do not endorse any acts of violence perpetrated towards former NBA coach P.J. Carlesimo.

"Put a pill in a McFlurry, I'm goofy

Shoot me, acting for the cameras, it's a movie

I can see you're gloomy, 'cause I'm too t'd

I'm a dog on the roof like Snoopy"

-Bladee - “I’m Goofy”

This one both makes me laugh and is very meaningful to me.

DJ Penny Lane

“Brokedown Palace” - Grateful Dead - American Beauty

“Momma Momma many worlds I’ve come since I first left home”

This is one of my favorite lyrics of all time! It really puts life into perspective on how far you can go in life with “many worlds I’ve come”, yet you’ll always have those memories from your childhood growing up at home. The lyric itself is sung in a pleading way, making many listeners emotional because it's like “Look mom! Look how far I’ve come and how many worlds I’ve traveled!” So yeah baller lyric it even makes John Mayer cry when he performs it.

“Going to California” - Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV

“Made up my mind to make a new start/Going to California with an aching in my heart”

This one hits close to home, being from California I always find myself listening to this song. It’s such a thrilling feeling to get the motivation to start something new and change your whole life. Especially when that new place feels so natural like you are meant to go there or like in the song “with and aching in my heart.”

“August” - Flipturn - Citrona

“But now you’re a stranger, And I’m still July, But don’t you remember, August, honey you were mine”

Current favorite song of the moment, highly recommend listening to this song in a car. The song is supposed to reflect on how in life we come across people that can be the closest people to us and know us better than anyone, then at another they become complete strangers. Flipturn wrote the song because one of the members was only having luck finding love in the month of August, then after that month everything would fall apart. I love when they say “I’m still July” because it means the person is still stuck in the month before August, making their lover a stranger.

tide2004

“This Floating World” – I Hate Sex – This Floating World

“In my fall I would feel so light, so warm / I would have no regrets, no fear and above all things / I would be alone, floating along”

“Alison” – Slowdive – Souvlaki

“Alison, I'll drink your wine / And wear your clothes when we're both high / ‘Alison’, I said, ‘We're sinking’ / But she laughs and tells me it's just fine”

“Vendetta” – Irate (NYC) – New York Metal

“This ain't mall metal made for little bitches”

kmurph!!!!

unfortunately, i would have actually dropped dead if i tried to narrow this down to three. so, five it is. some of these are serious and some are not, and i love them all equally.

“bonfire”-childish gambino-camp

“made the beat then murdered it, casey anthony”

i laugh every single time i hear this lyric, which has got to be hundreds if not thousands of times at this point. idk if i should be laughing at it, honestly. but it has the exact desired impact.

“no flex”-tiny meat gang-locals only

“i pull up in a foreign whip-you hear my honda civic/i pulled another foreign bitch-i think she might be british (i got a text!)”

to those whom this lyric is significant, it has layers upon layers. TMG cooked so hard on their joke music that they realized they were accidentally making unironically good music.

“john my beloved”-sufjan stevens-carrie and lowell

“so can we be friends, sweetly/before the mystery ends?/i love you more than the world can contain/in its lonely and ramshackle head”

you could sub this out with any collection of words sufjan stevens has ever written and i would stand by it.

“turn me down”-julia jacklin-crushing

“don’t look at me, look at the centre line/maybe i’ll see you in a supermarket sometime”

this was the best and also most utterly soul-crushing and devastating and life-ruining way to end this song. i love it.

“fear city”-surf curse-magic hour“i might just cum at the sound of the dying child in me/(wait, what did he say?)/i said my hair's just way too short to make a living/ (that's definitely not what he said)”

i just adore the complete absurdity of this. i don’t know why it was written but i’m so glad it was. brightens my day a little bit every time i hear this little exchange. also lowkey poetic.

EMI

“I fell right into the arms of Venus De Milo” - “Venus” by Television

“Not a lot of room to grow

Inside this leather terrarium” - “Type Slowly” by Pavement

“These hoes chase bread, aw damn she got a bird brain” - “I Don’t Fuck With You” by Big Sean

“You’re a star-belly sneetch, you suck like a leech you want everyone to act like you” - “Holiday In Cambodia” by Dead Kennedys

“Waldo Jeffers had reached his limit” - “The Gift” by The Velvet Underground

“Centered ‘round long time ago

On your ability to torment

Then you took your tongs of love

And stripped away my garment” - “Gut Feeling/(Slap Your Mammy)” by DEVO

“I’ve been screwing on the tracks of abandoned train stations” - “Art Star” by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

“Tap all over this big world

Take my hand you ugly girl” - “Mutilated Lips” by Ween

Caught your hand inside the till

Slammed your fingers in the drawer

Fought with kitchen knives and skewers

Dressed me up in women’s clothes

Messed around with gender roles

Line my eyes and call me pretty” - “Laid” by James

“I swung my fiery sword

I vent my spleen at the lord

He is abstract and bored

Too much milk and honey” - “Transport is Arranged” by Pavement

“We were fucking corndogs” - “History Lesson Part 2” by Minutemen

“Some people like to go out dancing

And other people, they have to work

And there’s even some evil mothers

Well they’re gonna tell you that everything is just dirt

You know that women never really faint

And that villains always blink their eyes

You know children are the only ones who blush

And that life is just to die” - “Sweet Jane” by The Velvet Underground

“Everywhere eyes

Nowhere to die

No place to shove your sharpened heel” - “Father to a Sister of a Thought” by Pavement

“ALL I WANTED WAS A PEPSI

AND SHE WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO ME

JUST A PEPSI” - “Institutionalized” by Suicidal Tendancies

“Rosemary

Heaven restores you in life

You’re coming with me

Through the aging the fearing the strife

It's the smiling on the package its the faces in the sand

It’s the thought that moves you upwards

Embracing me with two hands” - “Evil” by Interpol

“And he gave you a german shepard to watch

With a collar of leather of nails

And he never once made you explain or talk

About all of the little details” - “Master Song” by Leonard Cohen

“Stallion / walking on my back / I raised it from birth / never holding black (yeah!) - “Stallion” by The Garden

“If you want me to

I will be the one

That is always good

And you’ll love me too

But you’ll never know

What I feel inside

That I’m really bad

Little Trouble Girl” - “Little Trouble Girl” by Sonic Youth

“I like all the different people

I like sticky everywhere

Look around

You bet I’ll be there

Hot metal in the sun, pony in the air

Sooey and saints at the fair” - “Saints” by The Breeders

“New Year’s Eve was boring as heaven / I watched flies fuck on channel 11” - “Private Eye” by Alkaline Trio

Sofia!!

“And when everyone winds me up I just can't wind down/ and the April rain soaks my jokes to a pulp/ the sun makes my eyes burn/ and it must be my turn/ to fly with the birds this time”

“The Birds” – Swervedriver, Ejector Seat Reservation

I LOVE THIS ENTIRE SONG AND ALL ITS LYRICS!!!!!!

“We dreamt of all of your lives as we carry home dust of the cloudless summer skies/ And the salt that we give is of us and all we ever had waste in the same place in the end

“The Same Place” – Centaur, In Streams

Apparently the lyrics to the songs on this album are about the singer’s kid that died while the album was being written, which is definitely why this song and all the rest are so sad they’re almost unlistenable. All of the lyrics to this song are so emotional and they complement its heavy sound so well.

“Watching the parade with pinpoint eyes full of smoldering anger/ you can do whatever you want to, whenever you want to”

“Ballad of Big Nothing” – Elliott Smith, Either/Or

Honestly picking a favorite Elliott Smith lyric is kind of an impossible task, but this one always sticks out to me. This song is about being tired of your life and addicted to drugs – the repetition of the line about doing whatever you want to and the bitterness with which he says it is so impactful.

“When the loving comes and we’re already gone/ Just like your dad, you’ll never change”

“Sulk” – Radiohead, The Bends

Lol

“I’ll make a bitch stand outside forever like the Statue of Liberty”

“I Don’t Fuck with You” – Big Sean (E-40’s verse), Dark Sky Paradise

I mean… come on…

Zola Thomas

“Dont trust me” - 3!OH3, Want

“tell your boyfriend if he says he got beef, that im a vegetarian and I aint fucking scared of him”

3!OH3 might not be remembered as musical geniuses of their time (or remembered at all), but this might be one of the best lyrics of 2008. Using beef in its literal, and figurative sense helped create one of the most creative lyrics to come out of late 2000s electropop. While most of their other songs have faded away into obscurity, Don't trust me has managed to cling onto a resemblance of cultural relevance thanks to the genius of this lyric

“Fat lip” - Sum 41 - all killer, no filler

“I like songs with distortion, to drink in proportion the doctor said my mom should've had an abortion”

While on its own, this lyric is a nugget of genius, the thirty seconds of “bortion” echoing before the chorus only adds to it, and really adds to the ambiance of the song. There's so many other great lyrics in this song, but the abortion echo solidifies this as the best parts of the song.

“Taco Truck x VB” - Lana del rey - Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean blvd

“Pass me my vape, I'm feeling sick, I need to take a puff”

Lana has written many amazing lyrics throughout her career, she is known for her storytelling through her songwriting. Lana is also known for her affinity for vaping, so it might not have been too surprising when her art imitated reality, and she sang about craving her vape. She's so real for that.

“Thrift shop” - Macklemore - The heist

“What you know about rocking a wolf on your noggin? What you knowing about wearing a fur fox skin? I'm digging, I'm digging, I'm searching right through that luggage One man's trash, that's another man's come up”

Nobody encapsulates the feeling of an amazing score at the thrift shop better than macklemore. He managed to make thrifting exciting, and gave a voice to the random crap you always see at the thrift store.

Steven
