literally threw the record on the player last night after my party was over and just vibed to it while everyone staying late was sobering up and it was just a whole ass mood

I don't need the rest of the context to be mad. This fucking trend of "omg shorten the fuck outta shit for replays cause streaming unfgdfkjghkdsajhgakjsdsdf *jizzes in corporate bean counters who only get off on numbers*" is just pissing me off. Finish the damn song. Hit a 3 minute mark. I don't fucking wanna see the future keep moving back to fucking HitClips.

I like the Stargate remix.

I think I've seen this one before, and I've got a strong inclination that it's an upscale/remaster. Idk. Someone prove me wrong. Sounds a little muddled, still some artifacts in the highs to my ears (although it could just be the production) - the cymbals or hi-hats or whatever especially still sound like tin nails on a tin chalkboard rotating in a tin can. Nothing I couldn't EQ tweak on my own I suppose? Such is the fate we must suffer for dabbling in the enjoyment of unofficial material.

Name them. Shame them. Be Problematique and leak OG Problematique files. Lets go.

Whatever this emoji is, it's serving me at 3am when I decide to be drunk and do drag (badly). Anyway, someone find me Choker in lossless/320k pls/thanks.

If he wasn't an absolute shit gibbon as well, this would have been awesome.

It's like a 2.9 out of 5 for me. I don't hate it, but it doesn't shine like her other bodies of work for me. Caught in the Middle, Break the Rules, Doing It, Body of My Own, Famous - those are the ones that I roll with the most. The rest I'm kinda neutral on. I'd argue that the Fancy feature with Iggy might be a contender for the intro, honestly. I remember hearing that song WAY more on radio and it getting way more exposure than Boom Clap. Boom was big but at the same time I feel like it was a little bit of a flash in the pan by comparison? I feel like Fancy stuck around longer. Tumblr sad girls addicted to a tragic love story may have different opinions since it was a soundtrack song, but ymmv. Also I'm exempt from this statement as I've been a fan since TR days.

I hate that these words are accurate.

That's the portion of the show I cut out from my initial reply - I have lived a interesting life, and seen and done some interesting things, and while I personally have not engaged with that kind of material, or content that is of a similar nature (very abusive), I know several people who have - watching it, producing it, and/or being the subjects filmed in it. In their cases, all participants were consensual (and I don't want to kink shame but also like?????), but regardless of all parties willing involvement - that kind of content/activity is still souring to my stomach, to put it nicely. I've gently put distance between myself and those folks because of it. I guess the point I wanted to make with all of that is that there are a LOT of folks. Like, a lot. That kind of content that depicts very violent/abusive acts? There's a lot out there. And a lot of people consume it. A lot. Like. A. Lot. And I've seen it/bumped against it firsthand. It's icky.

I've been on a short hiatus and catching up; not to dredge up this topic too in depth, but a surprisingly large amount of people have absolutely messed up sexual tastes (recently, I think of Armie Hammer in conjunction with this). I think it takes a degree of sociopathy to stomach that content, and it takes a few more skill points allocated to actually get off on it. I feel like a lot of the noise about sex crimes and scandals that floats out of the entertainment world is so...surface level, though, at the same time. Like I think that there's worse things people have done and are doing. People are willing to look the other way and say whatever they've got to say in order to stay in the game and "make it big", and I think some of the nastier shit stays buried and well guarded by "the powers that be". I think a lot more actors and actresses and stars and musicians probably have skeletons in their closet dirtier than this; more than we realize, and I think it's hard for everyone to "keep their hands clean" when it comes to associating with people in Hollywood. There's always a "dirty link" somewhere in the chain. Our faves aren't immune. The judgement I guess comes from "what happens when it goes public", and how does our fave(s) react or not react? I wrote a whole long ass thesis and this was the best I could cut it down to.

Fully agree with this take.

Sky wishes she had the power and aura of Courtney Love.

I forget Dbree doesn't work for some people. I'm permanently in VPN mode so I don't think about it.

Dropping all pretense, I hope I don't *actually* come off as coming for anyone, anywhere, ever, with any of my opinions or shade. This shit's all subjective. Art decorates space and music decorates time and I'm just here for the meme.

Why do all of these sound like T Swift/Meghan Trainor demo rejects?

No meme - I wonder if it's intentional??? Lowkey sabotage? Idk.

I could, but I had to elevate the conversation with high brow shade.

You probably have! Here's an article that might explain why you don't remember it though. Here's another one too!

It really is. I've spent way more hours than I care to admit on it - the sorting, renaming, organizing into albums, making sure I've got the best quality versions/edits that exist... I've gotten lazy recently and I just dump all the leaks and unreleased into a single 'album' and let it be. I've said it before, but the sheer volume of material of hers that is out there (that we know of) is wild. Quantity isn't an indicator of quality, at all, so just because she's made a lot doesn't de facto mean it's all good, but....for unreleased and scrapped content, I'm still taken a bit aback by how polished a lot of it is. It's made harder to get ahold of and organize imo because of the range she's displayed from silly throwaway low IQ pop, to highly emotional and personal songs, and she's done it across a variety of different genres and styles/production to boot - Trying to organize it all cohesively is just a chore.

Same. I'm calling a lawyer. Can we class action her into releasing the album? Cite unrelenting psychological distress and gaslighting?

I never do - it just appears as simlish to me.

Me holding both of these opinions at the same time is the true cognitive dissonance conversation modern psychology is failing to capture.
