intro ^,..,^

(prev. twentyseconds-twentyyears, sunriseboulevards)

hi! i'm danielle, dani for short. you can also call me carmilla. while i haven't been active here lately, i certainly still love music

my favorite artist of all time is paramore and by extension hayley williams, but i adore plenty of others too. feel free to hit up my inbox with any recommendations since i'll probably enjoy them as well

this is very much a given, but TERFs, zionists, and bigots of the like aren't welcome. i have zero tolerance for homophobia, transphobia, racism, etc. for the love of god, please educate yourselves

here are links to my main blog and my strawpage

in light of taylor talking about her influences, i wanted to bring back one of my favorite and what i think is one of the most criminally underdiscussed pieces of taylor media, which is a playlist made by brian mansfield of the songs taylor had on her ipod when she was 18 after she allowed him to go through it (x)

coping with not seeing hayley williams live by drawing her instead

The idea of listening to no black music is bizarre to me. Even if it's not rap like no earth wind and fire? No reggae? No moonstomp? No ska? No classic jazz? No R and B? No disco??? No skindred? No jungle? No even like metal bands with a few black members? No gospel? Not even stuff like alors en dance? No blues music? No mo town? No jazz of any kind? No big band? No soul music? Not even a little James Brown?

[jabbotmohan]

not even yola or tanner adell or brittney spencer or tracy chapman or india.arie or chapel hart or the carolina chocolate drops or rhiannon giddens????

Some of my faves:

Fats Waller (early jazz, invented a whole new form of piano called Stride, which is I think where Boogie Woogie comes from)

Cab Calloway (jazz, this man's VOICE I swear, plus look up his performances, he invented lots of dance moves)

Lead Belly (blues)

Screamin Jay Hawkins (FIRST shock rocker!)

The Temptations (early R&B, motown)

Harry Belafonte (the King of Calypso! Coconut Water is a fun song)

Eartha Kitt (crooner jazz)

Sammy Davis Jr (crooner jazz)

Todrick Hall (queer rap)

Big Freedia (Bounce--that's a genre she invented)

Shirley Bassey (THE voice of the Bond Theme, HUGE powerful voice)

Buddy Miles (R&B, jazz, fusion)

Mickey Guyton (country)

Darius Rucker (country; the only male country artist I like. He's always talking about "I love my wife and North Carolina and also my wife and children. and my wife." it's really sweet)

Audra McDonald (opera, broadway)

Brian Stokes Mitchell (broadway)

Ken Page (broadway, but look him up in Ain't Misbehavin', a musical honouring Fats Waller's music and life)

Mildred Bailey (early jazz crooner, Bailey was Skitswish and actually discovered Bing Crosby and educated him on jazz)

Use whatever music player you normally do and just do a search!

Some movie title cards for my chem albums… just a fun exercise more than anything didnt think too hard. sometimes i need to remember to not take my art too seriously and not spend several hours obsessing over details.

"On a personal level, I just can't wait to find peace, and what peace looks like in this new life. I'm excited to craft, and I'm excited to write poems, and hang out with my friends, and watch movies - there's so many movies I can't wait to watch! Books! Literally things that are like, soul fueling. Just fill you up. I'm excited to fill my cup with calm, joyous things."
