Russian pop music recommendations by Katya

#some of my favorites #tbh I don’t think she means for any of these lyrics to be taken literally #they’re mostly on theme like about friendship and flowers etc #and the actual translation isn’t 100% #I do love the ‘I’ll just eat you’ line though lol #also the last song she’s been using a lot lately for herself too #so I think she just likes it! #she may not be fluent but she’s definitely conversational #so she knows exactly what these words mean #it’s just how she expresses her love #I added the most recent one because I had to #tired to get less filter and more back muscles #t&k

when it comes to ~forty year old songs about women having babies out of wedlock sung by male artists who show up in my spotify top 5 every year, oh no not i by stan rogers always makes me scramble for the skip button and think about how good spare parts by bruce springsteen is

#spare parts is probably one of my favorite springsteen songs. still grabs me by the throat every time #oh no not i...... it's just very mean spirited. it's bad. i like how it sounds but the lyrics give me hives #you KNOW i love me some stan rogers (as in. anything else he's ever done) and this song probably has fans but oh no. not i #just makes me go stan :( please stan :( please go back to singing about how much you miss fish and love your wife :( #*

unfortunately i am always grimly fascinated by dnis and bad callout posts. remember when someone wrote their scathing take down of john darnielle but their main allegation was that hes like. a really needy friend. or when there was all the twitter buzz about dan avidan being a groomer but when you read the original post the actual allegation was just that he slept with a fan and then ghosted her (which is, if you ask me, SIGNIFICANTLY less my business)

anyway none of these compare to my all time favorite spurious callout, which may have had genuinely objectionable stuff in it, but they put it in alphabetical order instead of order of severity, so the first allegation was: "ANTISEMITISM (person) is not Jewish but drew fanart of Jewish characters celebrating Hanukkah, which is cultural appropriation and tokenism and fetishizating Judaism"

i think about that one every goddamn day. why would you lead with that? didnt anyone ever teach you that, when making an argument, you should bring out the big guns FIRST? if this person was actually like. a sex pest or an abuser, shouldn't you START by saying that?? because otherwise youd run the risk of someone reading the first allegation you listed and going "OH okay so this is just petty squabbles about a guy you personally dislike, and not actually about a dangerous person that other people need to be warned about. i will disregard this entirely" (which for the record is exactly what happened???)

anyway theres no point to this post, other than, i guess, maybe consider taking a writing class before you start trying to make impassioned argumentative essays online so you don't waste as much of my time. YES i care very deeply about how you organize your arguments. YES it matters and YES i will ignore your argument if its badly structured. this is because im an exhausting person to be around. thank u

#anime life #sorry i was thinking abt the tmg one last night. it's a little funny how little of an impact it made #and also the one part of it that i remember most clearly was OP saying that tmg fans are all traumatized queer 20 somethings #and when you love tmg you just spend all your time dissecting their lyrics and talking about how great they are #and that meeting JD is like meeting god #bc i remember reading it and being like '???maybe for YOU???' #that was NOT my experience with my favorite band #they're just some guys

was looking up the only ash wednesday song ive ever loved (offering of ashes. btw. or just ashes. tom conry 1978 i know nothing else about this man except that he wrote this song) (for fic purposes) and stumbled upon a forum full of catholics discussing the revised version that was included in the 2021 hymnal and boyyyyyyyy the trads HATE this song. it was a 70s piece and a bit hippydippy in the sense that, for a catholic song, it is low on guilt and strong on self-forgiveness, and the first guy in the thread just has to point out that the unrevised version was too pelagian to be properly catholic

#pelagianism is one of my favorite heresies and i dont even know how this song could be that #next commenter 'i wouldnt use either in church if you put a gun to my head' third commenter 'i love it when heresy is removed from hymnals' #so far im feeling great about what i want this song to DO in the fic. like i knew i liked her for a reason #she's actively contrary to the spirit of lenten guilt! she's doing her own thing! and she's doing it hauntingly #lots of the commenters dislike the fact that the song contains the refrain 'an offering of ashes' because the ashes of ash wednesday #are not an offering they're *an outward sign of penance* #which even as a child i thought was sort of self-aggrandizing. like ohhhhhhhh we get it you went to church and we all see it #it always made me feel like a guilt trip if i washed mine off #i love when religious folks get SO up in arms about theology of lyrics in songs. girl i think he was just trying to make it rhyme #do you not have bigger things to worry about. religiously? #theology is like grammar. to me. it's fascinating to learn about its history and usage but some people treat it like the laws of physics

just realized lion's teeth could make a good song prompt for a fic about greed and father

#fma posting #im going through my favorite mountain goats songs and thinking about if they'd apply to fma characters #tragically I don't have any toxic ships I can apply to a lot of these songs </3 #not enough kismeses. who said that. #anyway woke up new is post-canon ling grieving greed #training montage is a promised day song #up the wolves is a really good elric brothers song #I feel like a lovecraft in brooklyn connection is on the tip of my tongue but I just can't quite make it #i love that song though #autoclave is a roy mustang guilt song #psalms 40:2 as a scar song. maybe. #certain lyrics in rain in soho could be musgang themed #as many candles as possible is a good fma song in general but especially for the final arc I think #heel turn 2 is such a good song and I wish there was a corruption arc in fma that would fit it #maybe scar in ishval #i still think the most fitting connection I ever made with that song was gordon hlvrai #okay I'm done now. some of these connections are stronger than others

Hello I am once again asking you to listen to Feldup's new album (edit: ive made a rec post)

#I just listened to stared at from a distance the song (after waters which I had already listened to) and it has fundamentally altered my #brain chemistry #some info on the guy : he's french and also does YouTube videos on horror and internet horrific phenomenona but his music is in english #it's indie alternative rock for the most part #in stared at from a distance (the album) some songs are pretty long. I advise you to have lyrics under your eyes #his singing isn't for everyone but I personally love it #big tw warning for csa and sa in general in some of his songs because he's a survivor and sings about it. General warning for mental illnes #ig. don't listen when you're in a bad place I'm not even feeling that bad and started at from a distance (song) just killed me #he's really really really good and he deserves to have more fans of his music pls give it a try #if you don't want to bother with the full almums I'll make a rec list of my favorites from his two albums once I'm done listening #feldup #stared at from a distance #a thousand doors just one key #French artist #music recs

Literary devices, how I adore you... allusion, colloquialism, alliteration, metaphor, simile, juxtaposition (!!!!!!!), anntithesis, foreshadowing, imagery, symbolism, personification, irony, hyperbole???? All amazing.

#juxtaposition is my favorite child #and antithesis. they're similar #I ADORE working with them #or like. if I'm going to be using imagery. choosing it in a way that isn't as common #say i wanted to represent happiness or sadness with weather and seasons. usually summer is happy and winter is sad #OR INSTEAD #it's looming summer thunderstorms and heavy air versus the sunlight reflecting off of snow with a warm coffee mug in your hands #imploring more people to mess with and learn about literary devices #ALLITERATION TOO. I LOVE IT #idk maybe that's an unpopular opinion but I like alliteration sparingly #it can add a really nice rhythm and emphasis in a sentence #something i really like to do is adding a lot of more complex words in clusters for emphasis #it forces the reader to slow down and really SIT in the scene as they. not decode but just understand it #fall out boy is really fun to look at through a literary lens btw. they do a LOT of fun wordplay constantly #ts and marianas trench too. though ts is sometimes a bit on the nose about it #marianas trench has some really nice lyricism actually. idk why they never took off as much as other bands of the era #I could definitely write an essay on marianas trench's lyricism #mitski is good at imagery #i should have been an english major. this is entertainment to me

Song of the Day: March 17

"I Like It" by Cardi B, Bad Bunny, J Balvin

#song of the day #a real train-of-thought adventure today #I was talking with Duncan about poor narrative structure in some of the less fortunate parts of our respective fandoms #and I said 'what in the fuck were they trying' and then Cardi B's new song 'Enough (Miami)' started playing in my head #('I'm like What in the Fuck / if you scared then just say that ho Enough is Enough') #I'm a big Cardi B fan she's got great lines and great delivery very very fun #right before 'Enough (Miami)' she put out 'Like What' which is similarly angry and proud and still having fun with it #('I'm rich I ain't gettin in no pool that's not heated') #but more than any other Cardi B song I love 'I Like It'. my absolute favorite #her whole first verse is wonderful but of course nothing compares to the single greatest line #'I like those Balenciagas / the ones that look like socks' #the first time I heard the song actually I was eating a gumball and I swallowed it whole laughing and nearly choked #(her whole verse there does have an incredible rhythm and I do enjoy it all and it does live in my head #and I did for a good couple weeks run the constant risk of being in the office looking for something and saying 'where's my' #and having the lyrics start up in my head. 'where's my pen? bitch I'm signin' #I did say it often enough with that cadence that my boss one day realized what I was doing #she called me Cardi for about a week straight and then intermittently for years after #any time I put my foot down and /made/ something be the way it needed to work she'd call me Cardi again it was wonderful #'yeah they call me Cardi B / I run this shit like cardio' #there's a whole second layer to it if you know my full name and it made her very happy #honestly it did make both of us happy. very very flattering every time she said it she was so proud of me)

just finished listening to mammalian sighing reflex .

#im already so fucking obsessed with this album oh my god. everyone shut up right now #god it really is like ycgma's sister. similar yet different #differences in sound; differences in flavor of sadness #something that is in this album all throughout that wasnt in ycgma that i LOVEEEEEEEE is the use of like. a synth i think???? #i dont know but the like ''beeping'' kind of noises. they sound just like how los campesinos uses them and it makes me SO HAPPY #bcuz thats always been one of my favorite elements of their songs and they make me go crazy. so hearing them here... ARHHRGHRGH #theres just something about the simple acoustic guitar with the little beeps that i love so fucking much #as of this first listening my initial favorites are amazon standing lamp; around the pomegranate; and glass chalet #also dropshipped cat shirt suddenly devolving into breakcore caught me SO off guard. but i love it #also can i say that around the pomegranate ending with the lyric ''find my comfort in envisioning the end'' and the very next song #being called ''i don't think it will ever end'' . #i was in shambles #serena.txt #ALSO ALSO. the fact that every single one of the songs fades into each other is so good #a lot of times with albums only like one or some of the songs will have a clean transition like that #so i really love the fact that with this one the ENTIRE album flows between songs #also i don't think it will ever end gave me jack stauber vibes with the pitched up voices and stuff

I have incomprehensible thoughts rn about how many classic American folk songs are kinda fucked up (and many are "sanitized" for modern listening to be less fucked up), and it's wild that we just, teach these songs to children without any context or anything? like, clementine is about a miner's daughter DROWNING TO DEATH as he watches helplessly? Old folks at home is a fucking RACIST AF ass song written by a white dude in the perspective of a slave who has been freed who misses his life on a plantation? when John Henry was sang by miners it often had ad-libbed, graphic lyrics about having sex with women at the end of the work day (as a way to motivate themselves and get them through the hell that was mining in the 1800s), and a lot of our modern versions are just super sanitized? like I get its hard to explain a lot of that shit to kids but like, its often never revisited and those songs are just left as sanitized, incoherent childhood introductions to America when they actually all have great amounts of value and history when put into context!!

#I will die on this hill that American folk music is an important part of history and it makes me sad it gets left behind and sanitized #its original meaning should not be incomprehensible and forgotten. even if it is extremely ugly and vile; or even if its really dark and sa #like in order for the country to reconcile with its evil and paiiiinful past we need to ACKNOWLEDGE IT and stop trying to sanitize it #anyways. fun facts clementine was a favorite song of mine as a child and I still hold it near and dear to my heart. and dont get me STARTED #ON OLD FOLKS AT HOME #that song is soooo racist but I learned it in a cello positions book so I didn't know the lyrics or context for YEARS after I learned it #and I always thought it was such a hauntingly beautiful song cause musically IT IS. SO GOOD. #but goddamn when I found out the lyrics and the context I was so fucking mad. thats some awful fucked up bullshit like I cant even begin #and idk it makes me upset to think about the context but also I think it really important we recognize that was really the true atmosphere #at the time and that was our country. Stephen foster is an American folk legend and he wrote that awful racist song. he is great at his art #form but is not separate from his place in time. he was a racist even if he was progressive at that moment in hisotry. #and that is our country. and idk like I think that that adds even more pain to that song and it makes it even more painful to listen to #and thats why we need to not forget it and listen to it to fucking remember and acknowledge how we got here and what we came from #I hate that song and I love that song but I hate it and ughhhhh I wish I hadn't learned it on cello and loved the melody for years #cause its gross af. but also like #its where we came from so I shouldn't hate our history cause thats ignorant and not productive #anwyays #googoogajoob

sometimes i think about g'raha tia's little speeches where he goes on about how much he wants to go on an adventure with you and take to the skies upon the eternal wind and i fall in love with him over and over again

#⋯ ꒰ა starry thoughts ໒꒱ *·˚ #⋯ ꒰ა ffxiv ໒꒱ *·˚ #honestly. sometimes i think back to literally anything he has said and i fal in love again and again and again. #some of the stuff he says and does and some scenes and some dialogue choices make my heart so full of love for him............ #tbh g'raha tia just means. so much to me. not just with his relationship with the wol (that depends on the player as well) but his story #his character his experiences his personality. everything about him. and then his speech at the final part of endwalker? #yeah. and then the lyrics of the final song? yeah. and the theme of promises with him. and adventures and hope and identity. #and how it all ties so beautifully to his character and his development and to the world of final fantasy xiv. and even in real life. #raha without a doubt is really my favorite character of all-time..... he means so goddamn much to me.

Oh, Patricia, you’ve always been my north star

2nd part of my little gifts for @ornithic on its 20th birthday!!!!!!!!! i love you soooo much youre the best gothic vampire prince on earth actually <333

#my art #vampire #vampires #???? whatever LOL. this is for u tori #ALSO I RECOMMEND ZOOMING IN A LITTLE TO SEE DETAILS AND STUFF PLS I WORKED HARD ON THIS #the link in the caption is just to the song i took the line from btw! that song makes me think of u so consider it my song 2 u <333 #(because i love you so much you see) #your name isnt patricia. but replace that with tori and its perfect #anyway toriiiii youre my best friend forever you are my treasure and my sun and i love you so so much...... auuuohhgh............. #youre one of my oldest friends we met back in 2017 i think and well this is a little embarrassing to say. #but GAH ever since we met i really really loved you so much youre like my favorite person & u always were. #i hope that doesnt sound insincere its a little embarrassing cause it sounds so cheesy but like /gen its true i love you to bits and pieces #anyway! uh! so! some notes abt this drawing! #ive been listening to a lot of f+tm lately so while i drew this with patricia in mind i was actually undecided about the lyrics 4 da caption #i was torn between this and 'you know i still like you the most / youll always be my favorite ghost' from big god #i went with patricia though cause that song as a whole is relevant whereas big god is more of a sad (???) sorta song #HOWEVER!!!!!! i improvised a lot w this drawing in comparison with what i was envisioning in my head #so a lot of things were made up on the spot like the golden rose for example #it was based off of a misheard line from one of the NEW f+tm songs (girls against god) #where she goes 'i met the devil / you know‚ he gave me a choice / a golden heart or a golden voice' #but i misheard voice as rose and that is how i came up with an INCREDIBLY rich fiction about you turning vampire #except. well i dont know but knowing YOU im sure you already have a very romantic and beautiful idea of how you came to be a vampire prince #but in my head i keep thinkin first and foremost that you live alone in an old overgrown mansion in the woods kinda like minecraft pillagers #but like. alone/possibly with the trapped ghosts of people whove died there over the years. #and then based on the misheard lyrics i imagine you were offered a choice by the devil to either die as a martyr but live on as a saint OR #to become immortal (symbolized by the golden rose) but at the cost of losing your humanity and having to Kill and Drink Blood. #and other vampire stuff. and i guess you chose the rose! but then youre stuck with the guilt of insatiable bloodlust and profound loneliness #oh and i guess you were also a prince before you gave up your humanity. so the mansion could also be a castle #annnnnnd (pretend like im not making this up additionally on the spot please) i can imagine your kingdom once worshipped the sun! #UMMM TUMBLR CUT OFF MY TAGS SO UHH TO HEAR THE REST OF THE RICH FICTION YOULL HAVE TO MESSAGE ME TORI.
