if a fellow commenter could explain how the fuck they get the img tag to work that would be dandy 💜 but yeah that thread about snail mail in the phoebe p4k review…then we get this
hey man, believe me, I get defensive (and knee-jerk, and reactionary) sometimes too; jealousy/envy is *hard* to completely brush off when you’ve got a condition like this in your life. We are NOT all perfect and participating in good-faith discourse is the best we can do. Truly wishing you all the best, my epilepsy’s been acting up way hard relative to earlier in the year so hopefully we’ll both be doing better soon. 💞💪
alright i’m jumping in because we’re talking DISABILITIES! and I exclusively speak from a place of love and hope for mutual understanding here. I upvoted all of your comments because you all make valid points. 40 being as successful as he is despite dealing with MS (his case of which I’ve always understood to be quite severe) is, frankly, inspiring to me, as much as I fucking hate Drake—he kinda…makes the only part of Drake that might even slightly appeal to me (his production). StarkyLove—I would like people to forget the fuck that I have [epilepsy] as well, unless I’m explicitly sharing experiences with it because someone asked—and I don’t want sharing that to lead to different/special treatment! The whole condition exists on a spectrum (and I’m blessed to be on the lower-mid end of that spectrum), though beastwork points out that MS is, at least, very similar in that regard, and that their friend’s MS exists on the far more disabling end than yours.
I’m up at this hour EST because I had to take 2mg Klonopin to stop an seizure last night. For some of us, [something like] this is the norm, and we’d rather just live our lives to the fullest without feeling tokenized; for some of us, we legitimately need serious extra support to get through life. Neither of those are “truly” suffering from a medical condition—gatekeeping only keeps us further apart. If there’s one time we as a society need to find solidarity anywhere we can, it’s right now. All love, ‘Gummers.

shit yeah okay, that’s a diss and a half (and make it classy bc it’s mfn André). I generally got the ghostwriting vibes after the first few listens but never got that it was [ostensibly] specifically about Drake, mainly because I’ve developed such intense skill at tuning him the fuck out of my life. Mainly here for Push fucking annihilating Drake at all times post-Story of Adidon, ZERO disrespect to 3000; this is the classiest response he could’ve had to all this shit and I love that so much.
fun tip: remove everything after the question mark (and the question mark) in a tiktok url to fuck with their analytics/tracking, same w countless other websites
I’m at the ultimate gay tier where I only care about Yaeji’s cover and have never listened to the original; I think many could benefit from my philosophy in life
Sigh…yeah, understandable. That’s a hard conversation to have. I mean, okay, I’ll be an open book (no pun intended lol): my mother wrote a book and my grandma made limited copies of it as a Christmas gift after her passing. If the book SOMEHOW made its way to someone who worked at a publishing house and they expressed interest…I dunno how I’d feel about it being released to the world. It reflects much of what led to her passing. SOPHIE died under much different circumstances and at half my mother’s age—that perhaps makes the conversation even more difficult. They deserve time to grieve in private. At the same time, I don’t know if they know how much the release would mean to so, so, so many people in the trans/queer community. Complicated all around!
Omg Cody…go sit in the corner and listen to BTW The Remix RIGHT NOW. The cover also has one of the best pics from that whole photoshoot. I was so lucky to get one of the limited-edition BTW picture disc vinyls and that whole shoot…flawless. Billie couldn’t drown herself in black sludge without her
The one thing that devastates me is that none of her work with SOPHIE is here. What can I say, her loved ones probably didn’t want it released; having lost loved ones who completed creative works myself, I understand.
This is so fucking good either way. It’s such a shot of energy to an album that needed it desperately—not because it was bad, but because it was released at the literal worst time possible. Watching her collab with people whose careers might not exist if she hadn’t done all her crazy shit on the border of the 00s/10s is amazing, stunning, flawless, I don’t have the fucking gif saved but you know which one I want to put here.
Charli and Gaga is all I’ve wanted since Nuclear Seasons. Nine fucking years. It does NOT disappoint, especially on one of my favorite Chromatica tracks to begin with. 🙏
Btw, for anyone who doesn’t follow her closely enough to know, this is NOT her first remix album lmao, and this is easily on par with her past ones in terms of both collabs and remix quality. Shoutout to sir Abel’s & Illangelo’s remix of Marry The Night. 😉
💜
this song is so weird it’s like all billie and then indeed unfortunately cut-rate misery business in the chorus
like, it’s not bad, the juxtaposition is interesting and her version of pop punk is just more in line with what modern indie rock sounds like (which she’s OBVIOUSLY very inspired by) it’s just. weird
i’m old
putting my thoughts perfectly as always! artists releasing their stems is a really cool thing—it gives listeners insight into the layers of the composition and allows them to manipulate them as they please; remixes are often a “foot in the door” for electronic musicians who are making the sounds of the future and i live for that. but this is classic Ye, charging $200 for them and putting them on a device (but i’m sure the device itself is where he’s making money off this). it’s disappointing
Can I get some Happier Than Ever love in the commentariat
Over the course of one week almost all of it managed to make its way into my Replay 2021. I was ready to do a track-by-track review Chromatica style because I was miffed at Tom for his review (and still am) but life outside the commentariat been too stressful. I think everyone in that particular pop bubble is moving onto Solar Power but I had to make this comment at some point so here I am
Oscar Holter? Has Max found a new acolyte? One of his greatest talents over the years has been finding new co-producers to “refresh” his sound, while keeping the practically legendary song-structuring that Max brings to the table. Rami Yacoub, Savan Kotecha, Dr. Puke, Ilya…all people who have gone on to have successful careers as producers in their own right.
A closer look at Max’s discography shows this is, indeed, another producer he’s brought onto his “team” (for lack of a better word), with co-credits on several songs off After Hours.
Aaaaand…a closer look at Holter’s discog shows that he co-wrote 1. Run Away With Me 2. 1999 (ft. Troye). Time to stan! Max’s ability to stay within the pop stratosphere by working with the right people will never cease to amaze me.
honestly one of the first rap albums I ever got into (unless you count MBDTF but it’s such a maximalist genre-spanning spectacle that idk if you could aha) and it’s still so good
yeah homegirl started out when she was legit, like, 13 and this mf fucked her over bad- I must say I will be guilt-listening to the original Leave (Get Out) far too much because the 2018 version is just…too much
before I say get into my own dirty cynicism- rest in peace always Aaliyah we love you 😔🙏💜
realtalk though. how the fuck are we gonna disrespect Aaliyah’s legacy by putting Chris Brown anywhere near it? how does Chris Brown still exist? rly can’t w this shit. you go on Wikipedia and it states him & R. Piss Smelly as being the “Kings of R&B”—fuck out with that nonsense. dude can’t keep his dick in his pants any time a new girl slide in his DMs and had to end a whole ass relationship cause oops, I’m a baby daddy now! surprise bitch, it aint yours!
this is one of those articles where I’m excited yet blearily reminded of how much unabashed force men can use to achieve whatever goals with whatever nefarious, self-centered intentions behind them that they so please
