    Turns out that Homebound was scrobbled some time in 2012, that basically confirms the title and that she once had a download up for it on either the ALX bandcamp or soundcloud.

    This is really unnecessary .......
     
    Anyways I respect that she makes completely different music now and basically is a different person as Allie X than Allie Hughes. But I still think she should keep her old music up and not rid the internet of it completely!!!! Its nice to see the artistic growth. I'm sure those old two albums will find their way online someday as someone else said. Ugh I'm just so obsessed with Allie I wanna know so much more about her and hear so much more of her music!!!! Why does she have -4 interviews. omgitsandrew u better get one w/ her

    Of course she does, she's amazing. But why does she want us to forget her old treasures? Her older works are better than absolutely any song on any radio today. And even last year, or the year before.

    Allie Hughes then rocked out with her band. Like Kulak, Hughes also played the piano while singing her own original songs. She is also a trained musical theatre actor, having graduated from Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario. As a performer, she is infused with tons of energy, which makes her fun and captivating to watch. At one point, she stood up and started to dance- as much as her piano playing would allow. She has no pretense. She doesn’t try to be anyone except the artist that she is. And while that is extremely refreshing to see, it is also very clear that Allie Hughes is a strong enough performer that she doesn’t need to pretend to be anyone beyond Allie Hughes to bring the house down. She sang six songs from her debut album: “Elevator,” “Black Cloud,” “How ‘Bout Cha Go Away,” “Irish Colcannon,” “Gorilla Sounds,” and “Cabaret Song,” and one newer song dedicated to a friend who was in the audience. She was forced at the end of the night to give an impromptu encore when the audience refused to stop applauding or to leave. It was truly an awesome moment.

    Hughes’ music has been compared to Sarah Slean and Regina Spektor, and I think that’s probably the easiest way to describe it. There are always unexpected moments, however, for at one point during “How ‘Bout Cha Go Away” her voice goes from akin to Regina Spektor to perfect and gorgeous Kristin Chenoweth-esque resonance within a few moments. The power of Hughes’ music, for me, is in her lyrics. She seems to be able to express and capture collective thoughts and experiences that aren’t often given voice in such a poetic way. Hughes is a poet. Even without the music, her songs would still be poignant and beautiful. With the music, these songs are gifts: up-lifting, self-affirming, empowering and just ‘angsty’ enough to give them adequate punch. Her voice suits the music perfectly. The best example is the way her voice captures the moment in “Black Cloud” as she sings, “…And I’m hard to keep from screaming/ And I’m the black cloud/ And I take on all the darkness of our home/ So you can be/ happy…” Ka-pow!

    My favourite of Hughes’ songs is “Elevator,” which I think beautifully captures the experience of trying to strike the balance between friendship and falling in love. I think she is beloved by her fans especially for the lyrics to “Gorilla Sounds” which include, “You think you’re so hot. You think you’re so slick. You know what I think, boy? I think you’re a dick.” She’s smart. She’s sassy. She has an infectious, genuine smile that holds a glimmer of mischief. You’ll get intrigued

    She was doing a lot of shows in 2008/09, a lot of copies of her album have to be floating around. I think it's funny she was friends with Tune-Yards on MySpace

     

    ooooooooooh I found one of the 2006 songs

    I sent him a PM but he hasn't responded I hate to even ask since he's already given us so much really!
     
    Also the last few days I've just had her discog on repeat and I really live for some of the weird obscure stuff too! "One Day And One Night" and "Coastal Lines" are both really great to me, and not just because Allie is featured either. "Damaged Nail" is such a rush too omg, I love screaming along.

    Honestly, it doesn't negatively effect Allie because she has very few fans. It'd be different if she were bigger and people were leaking her personal info or something. If any of you she the video just PM it to me because as a fan I would at least like to see the video.

    Tbf I think she was quite respectful because you just insulted her daughter straight up  you could have replied with things we actually have evidence for- lies, bad communication with fans, low effort.

    Okay, so
    She was set to perform at 11:30pm, an announcement was screened that she had an issue with her throat at around 12:15am, Sky appeared on stage 5 minutes after, she said she was going to cancel the show but decided to play (naaah I think Pitchfork obligated her to perform, it wouldve been a mess if two headliners (Sky and Kelela) cancelled) she looked unwell, panicked, like she was about to cry, REALLY annoyed and frustrated, she was violently grabbing the mic and the thingy you can put it on and was apologizing like every 20 minutes, after ynto (encore) she left in a hurry the stage, idk something really wrong is going on.
     
    Although she started almost an hour late the setlist was "decent": 9 from NTMT 4 Masochism 2 from ghost, the show was like 1 hour 10 minutes long. Btw a more agressive and sinister instrumental of DL was played.
     
    Ngl even with the throat thing her vocals were good, but I wont lie Im kinda pissed and disappointed, watching her live was a dream i had since i was 14 when the clock hit 11:30pm I was about to burst in tears of excitement at any moment but that never happened, the sky ferreira experience ig, like im satisfied, I got official and unofficial merch, at least once in my life I got to see her live, but she made a whole mess. Anyways, the crowd was screaming every single word from ghost and ntmt tracks and were super supportive. (also the crowd was a bunch of goth girls and gays in their mid 20s and 30s, i might have been the youngest in the entire audience lol)
     
    I dont know but she might cancel Guadalajara (today) or another mess is guarenteed, hope the european dates get better, her first concert in México in almost a decade and she was a mess.

    Okay, the album is a bit mid but better than expected… glad she did not follow the Yes, And? Route 
     
    Bye, the Boy is Mine and Supernatural stand out to me. 
     
    that saiiid… it’s funny how after all the hate she got and her complaining about how the media demonizes her, she decides to throw shade to her ex husband on Eternal Sunshine suggesting he cheated. It’s like she’s trying desperately to get focus off her and point fingers at him, same “toxic behavior” she’s been calling out! She’s obviously seeking pity, after seeing all the sympathy cheated on women are getting (Shakira, Ethan’s ex,…)
     
    that victim mentality has to go, like right now
