anyway, something like this for songs I've shared that linked to YouTubes would be cool, will keep working on it

Trying to see if there's a way I could tag every song I share to its country in an interactive map and wanted to see if anyone has created a glossary of regional genres. RYM has one, but you can see the issue in tackling a project like this -- orders of magnitude more genres than any other category

spent some time going through the simplest proxy I could find of US/UK chart convergence -- simultaneous #1 entries in both countries (there's a wiki entry for this thru '24, I did '25/26 best I could). Convergence of #1 explodes in the streaming era

Never understood why Manny Farber singled out “Jules et Jim” in his White Elephant essay until I heard the new B0YG1RL album and realize I have a similar reaction (and think it sounds about as weird to say)

So this one poses a bit of a sticking point for me—I really disliked it on first listen and particularly disliked the arty framing it got in Pitchfork. I think that its avant hipster tendency to reduce global sounds to capital-N noise not only misses the spark in those sounds but often misses even the noise, like tuning your vacuum cleaner. The roughness—signifying as such—bothers me, because it’s too smooth, or smooth in the wrong way, like a rock tumbler’s artificial sea glass.

It has also helped me understand why Manny Farber included Jules et Jim in his White Elephant Art essay, a choice that made me lose the thread a bit when I first read it, because I found Jules et Jim scrappy and charming myself. There’s something about the totalizing control exhibited over this work that smothers the little embers—in performance, in rhythm, in noise—trying to fly out. In fact, the way Farber describes Jules et Jim is not far off from my thoughts about the album: “Jules et Jim, the one Truffaut film that seems held down to a gliding motion, is also cartoonlike but in a decorous, suspended way.”

But at the end of the day my body doesn’t reject this thing outright even though my brain is pretty convinced it’s right about this. Maybe it’s just a brain problem.

man I am NOT paying my therapist money to talk about this shit

wall to wall olivia rodrigo coverage in pitchfork, a publication that once intimated I was a sleazy degenerate for liking ashlee simpson and interviewing brie larson

Lia Lia is in the lead position and I can't let her down, especially when she apparently has an album coming out sometime this year??

A screenshot of Lia Lia's Instagram from a few months ago. A burning cigarette with the following text written on it: "music, money, sex, fame, love, love [illegible from cigarette ash]." With "2026" on the picture.

Cowards!! Good review though

GAPDY revisited: despite the framing, 2009 (and the late 00s more generally) was a low point of music critic consensus and the end of an era. I think we’re dealing with something similar now in pop-as-genre (“A-pop”)
