Venice Jesus Whore

I was not expecting the release at all but I’m so glad it happened. I loooveee the OG Slut Pop, and it’s what made me start listening to Kim more. There’s not a lot of songs with this fun late 00s/early 10s EDM production anymore. I thing the OG is stronger, but I’m glad to get more songs and to have a longer runtime. The project peaks for me at Rim Job & Cockblocker. Combining this with the OG is one hell of a workout playlist.

Obsessed with this, and I've never really listened to the original on my own I think. This is stunningly gorgeous. And the cover art is soooo pretty and fitting.

My signed vinyl just arrived So excited to be able to display this gorgeous cover (and gorgeous album). Also feels super cool to have a legit autograph. Idk that I've ever gotten an autographed item from another artist that wasn't just their signature printed on something. 🙄

I cannot describe how much I’ve been obsessed with this era, and I wasn’t even really a Troye fan before this. I’ve probably watched the Rush video around 25 times, already watched One of Your Girls video like 7 times, and I have the autographed vinyl arriving on Monday (my first vinyl ever). This era has really been resonating with me hard and providing the representation I didn’t even know I needed. also makes me realize how much I miss Britney and pop girlies serving like troye did in the One of Your Girls video

The One of Your Girls video floored me omg. A serve but also that last long painful look into the camera. I love it sooooo much and the song is probably my favorite on the album.

on my first listen and why does One of Your Girls have me feeling some kind of way

November 27, 2016. Living perhaps my favorite time in my life that I still miss to this day.

Was publishing your internalized homophobia really necessary?

Just listening to Happiness is a butterfly and having a moment of being extremely grateful that Lana exists and shares her work with us. I thought about how different my life would be without her in it, and it’s insane to imagine. She’s been a constant influence and soundtrack in my life for over 11 years which is a bit under half my life at this point. There’s no other artist’s music that hits me in the way that hers does.

Stargirl Interlude makes The Weeknd an automatic win for me. Prisoner is really good too. I like Summer Bummer a lot. Ridin’ is cute, but kinda forgettable for me. Groupie Love is ehh.

Getting emotional going through this album again.

Thank you! Yes, I love the cover and it comes with a 16-page booklet and at vinyl size, that gets me so excited. I usually buy CDs to support my favorite artists, to look through the booklet, and for nostalgia reasons even though I just stream it and never listen to the CD anyways. But spending 3-4x the price of a CD for a record when I don’t even have a record player made me feel weird, but you’re right. I just said fuck it and ordered it. This is the only time I’ve ever really wanted a vinyl too. Thank you for your input and for validating me.

I'm like this 🤏 close to buying the vinyl because this album cover is gorgeous, I want to be able to experience the cover and the rest of the artwork on a large print, and I want to support Troye because I love everything about this era so far. Buuuuttt, I feel stupid buying a vinyl when I don't have a record player, have no intention of ever getting one, it's like $40 with shipping, and while I do like Troye's music generally, I don't listen to him a lot. Help.

People are literally never happy. It feels like you can’t do anything good without a shitload of criticism because it doesn’t do every single thing everyone wants. If I was a gay artist rn, I’d 100% just say fuck it and do what I want because you’ll never please everyone. Better to at least please yourself.
