We’re high on my friends bed back in sophomore year. I think this was my second or third time smoking actual weed and I was so high. I remembered this song from the movie Someone Great (also named after a great song shoutout LCD Soundsystem) and thought I’d impress my cooler friends with this song. They already knew it. But damn did it sound really good. Like she wrote it just so I could stare into the ceiling and imagine my own movie scene. My A24 production set in this small yet big apartment that felt more like a movie set than a home at the time. She had the most comfy bed in the world. Though the subject matter is heavy I cannot listen to the sing without feeling like I’m laying in that bed as a teenager.

I watched this for the first time at the most perfect age to absorb it forever. One of the most formative experiences of my life. There’s no pretense - never is with Mitski - but here her spirit is on full display. The most compelling performance is Class of 2013, wherein she screams into her guitar during the third verse, “Mom will you wash my back this once, and then we can forget.” I’ve replayed that part probably 30 times.

I hope this doesn’t awaken something in me (despair)

Though its an older book I feel it captures the universal feelings of someone who despises the world but still needs to exist in it. Holden is such a relatable character to me even though he does succumb to traditional make thinking. I am glad I was forced to read this in school. I think everyone should be forced to read it.

Just a girl who gets a little too high on an average day and the hijinks that ensue. Perfect movie for anyone who has a couple hits left and an hour and thirty to spare. This movie perfectly encapsulates the feeling of getting a little too high and it setting off your day, plus Araki has just such a way with cinematography. It could be your new favorite!!
