For me, Mina Tindle soundtracked a star-crossed + doomed-from-the-beginning college romance. I actively try to forget how things were wrong from the start and try to force reconsiderations of what could have made it work. Along with those years I've eternal-sunshine'd went my recollection of loving Mina's debut album. I listened to that album on repeat back in the day yet I now that I couldn't bring myself to listen to it without . Nearly a decade has passed.
Seeing her onstage performing, what i believe, to be the best track on this album brought back too many emotions for this Tuesday morning. I'm not sure if it was the chemistry between her and Matt, or the force of the backing choir but damnit if i didn't get a little choked up to start, the the waterworks came.
"It's the way you say yes when I ask you to marry me
You don't know what you are doing
Do you think you can carry me
Over the threshold
Over and over again until oblivion?"
dammit if this wasn't where we were headed if circumstances were different.
Maybe seeing her today, on that stage, marks the end of a chapter that will help me past the what-could-have-beens. Maybe i can revisit that debut album. Maybe its time to accept it was never going to work and this is what I have as a memory
Laura Nyro's "Eli & The Thirteenth Confession" is the album I test any new headphone or stereo set up on. It is a masterclass in bouyant and jubilantly orchestrated pop tunes. I stan that album and Laura Nyro, no question
i thought you meant "axe" as in a badass name for a guitar which makes more sense but i went to the site and holy smokes it is a $500 wood-choppin' axe. wth wilco
It's not hard to underrate how good 'Musas' is but somehow "best folk album of 2017" still doesn't do it justice. its criminal how little love she gets in the states
took me a minute to remember it was Halloween because dressing up like a Dragon Ball-Z character seems like something Thundercat would do on most Tuesdays
Hell yeah! Anna is the coolest and am so excited she is getting her due!
Also worth noting: she has been playing with ypsilanti fuzz-rockers minihorse for the last lil bit and that has been jsut delightful there too
