I'm afraid this could get bloody I'm not used to warm and fuzzy I still flinch when you touch me I'm suspicious 'cause you love me what if you're too good to be true and I open up to you there must be something wrong with you SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU 'CAUSE you're not my type you're too damn nice to me all the time none of your exes are floating face down in the river but I'm still scared I'm gonna find out you're a serial killer

I think my favorite genre of music can simply be described as “weirdgirl pop”

Did anyone wish for a sapphic banger?

Song of the day

Nervous System by Candi Carpenter

Album: Demonology (2024)

This song was an instant add-to-playlist because it is a) catchy and b) exceptionally relatable. From the description of anxiety and its physical manifestations as "eating myself alive" to the almost wistful description of trepanation, I just felt extremely seen.

Favourite lyrics:

He asks about my income and level of education In the middle ages they used to do this thing called trepanation A procedure where the surgeon drills a hole into your skull To let the evil spirits out and take the pressure off

And when I check the captcha box that says I'm not a robot I'm lying to myself and I'm lying to my laptop I don't want to hand this down I'm afraid to reproduce I wonder if Sigmund Freud turned into his dad too

My nervous system I'm sorry it's not more organized It's business as usual I'm biting my cuticles Literally eating myself alive

This 4th of July, it's hard to believe in 'independence' or 'freedom' or, well, 'America.' I could write a 50 page essay on my feelings for this country today, but... I'm tired. Demoralized. Hopeless. Desperate. In despair. But mostly just so, so tired. So here's a song that covers some of what I'm feeling. Happy 4th, if you're celebrating.
