The holidays are toooo busy for me! Did you have a nice holiday? I always liked Closer more than Unknown Pleasures but it's been a looong time since I've really listened to JD, not sure if I like New Order better but I don't think so! A good amount of Pattis music is kinda middle of the road yea I think so too, but some of it I love sososo much. I just love her writing so much more! She gets a lot of cred for her influence yea? What's your favorite of Mon Lafertes btw? She's so much funn

Omg did you watch the music video for that Kate cover? It's super cute! Good cover too. I've just been reading random stuff lately. Reading some Richard Brautigan now, really like his stuff so far so I'm gonna grab some more when I'm done with this one. Mapplethorpe was so amazing btw, just his flowers alone.. I probably read way too much into them buuut it's fun! Seems like his sexuality mixed with a good dose of catholic guilt drove him a bit mad, led him to believe he was dissolute by nature and that just drove him further into the hedonistic lifestyle that eventually killed him. He's a pretty tragic character. I dunno why most of his controversial stuff is still so hard to find online in 2019 lol.

Didn't know how to feel about Feel For You at first but I think I like it more than Kids in the Dark. It's a little underwhelming maybe. Thought I'd warm a lot more to Kids in the Dark too. My mom thinks the new songs are "boring"! I still have high hopes though, we'll just have to wait and see. 😶

Yeah that festival is going to be fun! Take me please! I saw Tool not too many years ago and was kind of underwhelmed, maybe I was just too far from the stage for that one. I used to adore Tool. I also saw Crystal Method and Korn sometime in the late 90's with a few rap acts and nu-metal stuff. Family Values tour I think. I met some really wild people there and spent the night at some strangers house and tried several different drugs over the next couple days! :o I was like 15. Good times though! Making me nostalgic for my dumb teen years over here lol. I can't explain my love for Strawberry Switchblade but I've been kind of obsessed. What do you think of them? Too cheesy? I'll check out that Connie chick too. I'll be better soon hopefully and less lazy about listening to new stuff! 💛

I could've swore I left you a shout the other night! Don't remember exactly what it said except that I can't roll my Rs properly at all when I speak spanish lol. I'm hiding out in my bedroom right now with the AC nice and cold and blasting PJ on my headphones. Feels good! I'm so sick of the heat and it's only June bleh. I need to use my headphones more though everything sounds so much better and I've had this pair for at least 7 or 8 years! New Marina? I haven't heard a thing from it yet how is it?

I haven't given any of it a good enough chance yet. How goes youe spanish learning?! Are you stickin with it? I want to learn basic french next just to better appreciate my french music lol.

Yay for Weyes Blood!! I've been on vacation so haven't listened to a lot but yeah I'm loving this Aldous Harding. She's a bit odd in a good way! I started listening to Mon Laferte while learning Spanish too lol. I've only heard NORMA but I like it a lot, I think it's her most recent. I heard she put on an amazing set at Coachella, still need to watch that. Went up in the Shenandoah valley with a ton of family. Sooo pretty up there I miss it already, people were so nice up there too.

Ooh that's good news about Polly!! I don't care if it's a soundtrack I need something new from her! I liked her last album a lot right away but that faded pretty quickly, it was kinda hit or miss for me. I can scrobble on my phone but yeah I have to scan on the app and it's all wonky so it might look like I haven't listened to music for days until I remember to do it. I think I like The Church but I only know one song of theirs, I'm gonna have to check them out tonight. Do you use rateyourmusic btw?

I'm so so sorry I've just been so busy I hadn't even thought to get back on here other than to refresh my scrobbler thing. Only been listening to music on my phone but stuff will chill out soon I hope. I read about Kristeen Young and Morrissey. He's always got some drama going on lol I love him. Did I give up on Jenny Lewis too soon is the album any good? I didn't really give it enough attention before I moved on but I didn't dislike it or anything. This new Weyes Blood album is my newest obsession though, it's exactly what I need right now!

Music for Hookers huh? Sounds like something I'd like! :p lol I'll have to listen to her some more though. I wasn't really sure where to start with her, I'll try Orphans. How had I not heard of her before? I think i found her because someone was saying she was similar to Kate.

Yeah I wonder if Ladytron is really popular elsewhere? I keep thinking I read someone talking about them being huge in Brazil or something, but I might be mixing that up with another band. I always just assumed that the US hadn't caught on properly. I'm still surprised BFL isn't a bigger deal here, at least at the level of Florence + the Machine or Ellie Goulding type stuff. I'm convinced they'd both have a lot of success in the states if they just got some visibility. Both have been really consistent too. Everyone I recommend BFL or Ladytron really likes them. My entire family listens to BFL now, she's even one of my moms favorites!

What the hell how did they manage to mess up that badly? Did they give you a new estimate when you'll get your stuff or anything? Wheel of Time is really good so far! There are a ton of books in the series so I guess I'll be on them for a while. It's been a long time since I got into any fantasy, usually a lot of nonfiction, some poetry, and the occasional mystery thriller(like Gillian Flynn type stuff). Read any interesting biographies lately? I loove music related memoirs and bios! Patti Smiths poetry and memoirs are awesome, she's so sentimental and loveable.

The Doors s/t is a classic! Jim Morrison takes himself way too seriously.. and it's great lol. I already love the new SVE but yeah I'm just kinda attached to her earlier folkier stuff so it's gonna take me a few listens to reallly warm up to it. Looved that video you linked!! Her voice makes me melt! How did you feel about the latest Anna Calvi btw? I grabbed it and listened a couple times and then I just forgot about it. Too much new music at once. I should probably revisit it. I still haven't gotten to my new Kate either grr. I've been listening to audiobooks lately when I usually play music and it's really cutting into my music time!

Yeah I'm glad you still get on here :) I don't think I'll ever stop obsessing over my music. I guess most everyone left when last.fm when they sold and all the changes came about. I don't use the site the same anymore but same, I love the scrobbles. I'm not sure if anywhere else does that kinda thing? Oh I really didn't like Masseduction.. meh! I think I even deleted my scrobbles of it lol. She was really fun to see several years ago though. I hope you like the new Kacey Musgraves I just think her songs are so sweet!

Sorry kept meaning to message you back but the holidays get busy so fast. Yeah I just like physical copies of my favorites now, otherwise I'd never be able to keep up. I love the Noveller! I think I'm gonna have to check out more of her stuff. Have you seen St. Vincent live? She's puts on such a fun show!

I'm glad you liked the movIe! I wanna hear the Kate remasters so bad but I promised myself I'd wait until after the holidays just in case I get them as a gift. I still like waiting on physical copies with some of my favorites, something nostalgic about the excitement of getting new music! I've been obsessed with Rosalia and Kacey Musgraves but I'm not sure if you'd like either. Maybe the Rosalia, it's like contemporary urban flamenco artpop and it's lovely! I need to check out her other stuff I think it's supposed to be more on the folksy side. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p_4coiRG_BI Any good music I've been missin? Ladytron soon right?!

i'm good! How are you?! I just logged on to see that I left Spotify running on my PC for like 2 days straight, oops lol. I love Edith so much, but I think I like her singing a lot more than most of the songs. Have you ever seen that biopic with the pretty French actress? Marion Cotillard I think. Took me years to get into Cocteau Twins properly but I think they're one of my favorites now, no idea what happened there. I always loved the Heaven or Las Vegas album, maybe I was expecting something really different from other stuff. Parts of them make me think of BFL and Kate sometimes! Sad about Aretha and I'm embarrassed that I've never really sat down and listened to her before, I think I will tonight. Is that Mitski worth checking out?

Hah that's so cute about your dad! What does he usually listen to? My dad isn't really into music very much, thinks it's a young people thing, but my mom is really really into her music and she loves BFL, She always had amazing music playing in the house. Lamb of God is fun! I always meaaan to get into some good metal but there's so much to go through and and it's so diverse. I have no idea what I might like so all the metal I like is pretty random. https://www.last.fm/music/Ulver/Bergtatt I loove this album and I want more like it, have you heard it?! I hate the reply thing, I keep hitting reply when I want to post on your page grr.. So if you got two notifications it was just me deleting my reply to post here. ^.^

Yeah, The Bride is BFL's best for sure, although I used to think Two Suns ruled forever. Maybe it didn't do well because there were no hits? I really thought that Sunday Love was going to be as big as Daniel. The US tour was short, and never came within driving distance for me. But I hope I never get burnt out on BFL, like I did with Kate, or even Led Zeppelin (which was before last.fm for me, haha...embarrassing). But I guess The Bride is the only one I still listen to with regularity. Did you end up digging New Order? I saw that you've been listening. What's weird about them is that half their stuff is rock and the other half is electronic it seems. That was pre-last.fm for me too!

Oh yeah I always burn myself out on everything I get into. I hate to admit I've burned myself out on Kate a bit but I'm sure I'll get obsessed again before too long! I didn't know you were into Zeppelin. What's your favorite? I loved the New Order, I've got some more in my queue but I can't stop listening to Cocteau Twins lately. Did you go to that Slayer show yet?!

By the way, have you ever heard the Kate B-sides from This Woman's Work box set and the demo stuff from the 70's before she got signed? I really enjoyed those for a long time, but eventually got burnt out. With Led, I liked all of their stuff and all their hits really, but now I can only listen to the Presence album, since that one was the hardest to get into. As for New Order, I think everything from Get Ready and beyond is not as good as the stuff before. I think my favorite song from the late NO period is Turn. The single version is great! I haven't listened to Cocteau in a while. I should try to get into it again! The Slayer show is in May, gulp.

The hardest part about Angel Olsen is that the songs are kinda sad, which I don't mind, but wears me out sometimes. I think my Cranberries obsession is finally at a healthy state now haha. After so many listens, I now think my favorite song from them is Animal Instinct. I just wish I had paid more attention to them then. Not sure if I like the new music lately. Knowing that Ladytron are doing new music gives me hope. And I want Alice Glass to be successful so badly. I got all her solo stuff so far, but I'm not sure if it's as good as CC yet. And it's Hard for me to go back to old CC jams since Ethan seems like such a bad guy. I see you're listening to French music. Perhaps that's a good change!

I like the falling asleep to The Bride, but not in a bad way though. Puts me in a good state of mind. My favorite is If I Knew, so 70's, mellow sounding. I've always been a New Order fan, got all their albums, even the more recent one, uggg, JK :). Not sure if any of their albums are masterpieces though, but I think some of their singles and remixes are for sure! As for Cranberries, I never knew No Need to Argue was so good. I also like the new renditions of their hits on Something Else, and the few new songs are good too. Too bad I never got to see them live. I got the Dolores solo albums this weekend. Fingers crossed that those are good.
