you’ll never get to heaven

lush, nectar-like pop that reminds me of something old…like a beautiful kingdom lost in the mist and hidden behind the trees. a hazy romance sort of reminiscent of impressionist paintings. electric and archaic at the same time. i’d recommend any release but my personal fave is their album “images”. i especially love the tracks “exquisite tension” (the song sounds just like the title, that’s the best way to describe it), “shadow garden” and the title track.

Threshold - Thief

The dreams this record wanders through remind me of Wu Lyf, but slightly more beaten down by the calamity of information overload. What if '80s 4AD became lingua franca? What if we knew what the Cocteau Twins were saying? What if Donna Hayward and James Hurley took off with their band?

THE LIGHT THAT YOU GAVE ME TO SEE YOU

- E+E / Elysia Crampton (2013) • Album an epic mass of sound collage. the liminality of music; of everyday sounds takes on this sort of primal urgency, in which faded memories of familiar commercials both Latin and American; of music through a broken pair of headphones; of bustling city traffic break through the psyche with the strength of a saturated kick drum. when the brutish intensity of it all slaps you sideways, you see the childlike fragility of the memory still remaining. the anonymous female voice (and it is a HELL of a voice. don’t get it twisted, for all the nothingword vomit i’m spewing up this album’s ass, it sounds seriously addictive and seriously beautiful) recontextualizing pop hits over city ambience, rainfall, crackling firewood. Drake lyrics become mournful, John Mayer cranks up the longing to Number Eleven. it is anti-colonial, reinterpreting these sounds; displacing them, to create its unfamiliarity. yet in the bleakness there is warmth. Elysia Crampton has no regard and no time for Traditional Western Music Production, and THE LIGHT THAT YOU GAVE ME TO SEE YOU acts as a brash, rugged interrogation of the “why” and when The Light shines through, it takes on a new form: a tearful, solemn, busy question: “why?” coughed through the smoke of an exhaust pipe.

be bland

it’s okay to be an idiot! but even more so it’s okay to be an idiot with a hotel lobby taste. why hate? why whine? being basic is natural. doesn’t have to be bad, doesn’t have to be good. it’s not offensive, crude, beautiful, thought provoking, interesting, new, or annoying. it's there. it's technically, proficiently, there. if it provokes a human response, it provokes artistic merit. it can even be charming! embrace inner blandness, reject pretentiousness.

the snapshot of the sky at your moment of birth could determine your compatibility with others ¿

i truly feel like a lunatic after asking chat GPT to read my birth chart so i think that says it all. the last few days i began to research about the astrology degree theory and its whirlwind of traits. the theory that basically consists on looking at your horoscope chart as a wheel, all 12 signs placed in 360° to understand better one‘s persona. i always thought venus mattered the most in terms of love and relationships but now i see it as a planet with a much darker role. venus wants what we value and find attractive, but it also determines whether someone truly loves and values exactly what you bring to the table, and the ins and outs of what you expect back from your partner. it’s more about how much you are willing to tolerate certain traits, and how they’re willing to do the same. however!! its your descendant that will play a part on this too. the descendant sign is the opposite of your ascendant. they mirror each other in a 360 spiral, so when you find someone whose ascendant is the same as your descendant, opposites attract! that means that if you’re a pisces rising and they are a virgo rising, you’re compatible. it can also work if both risings have the same element or even if both risings are the same. i still think that it’s more about how much you are willing to tolerate certain traits and vice versa from your venus sign; but in this case, it’s more about how you can rely/support that opposite ascendant and vise versa
