6-8-2025 MY FAVES: a pop girl summer renaissance

Image
  books of the week i'm slowly on the last 200 pages of great tales of horror  by h.p. lovecraft . and still, the stories are haunting but the racism is much scarier. i can't even mention what the cat's name is in his story the rats in the walls .  music of the week it's already an exciting month for the pop girlies' highly anticipated albums, and there's more coming our way. this week marina and the diamonds  and addison rae  released their albums: princess of power  and addison , respectively.  i've loved marina since her electra heart era, and i was looking forward to this album because i really loved the single cuntissimo. besides this one, here's songs i really liked from this album:  princess of power, je ne sais quoi, i <3 you,  and final boss . i have a love-hate relationship with addison rae and whether she is "performative" and her vibe is true to her spirit (how chronically online is this sentence even?). i never cared for her t...

6-1-2025 MY FAVES: horrors of the natural and supernatural.

Image
  books of the week i continue to chew on the not so subtle racial slurring in h.p. lovecraft's great tales of horror  and am currently on the story called the shadow of innsmouth . super well depicted, like the sceneries and smells feel vivid. the "local" peasant dialogue is a bit tough to read.  music of the week miley cyrus' album  something beautiful  came out this week, and i was excited to see what disney's enfant terrible turned rock star had to offer this time. glam rock meets pop and miley's rock star voice did not disappoint. my two faves in the album are walk of fame ft. brittany howard  and every girl you've ever loved ft. naomi campbell .  in other news, it is now june aka pride month  and here are top 5 of my fave songs at the moment, by queer artists: conquest of spaces (2025 rework) - woodkid fame - david bowie is there somewhere - halsey anxiety - doechii corpo sensual - pablo vittar, matteus carrilho movies of the week boyfriend ...

  books of the week currently reading h.p. lovecraft's great tales of horror . while the dialogue is a bit hard to understand (rural english from literally 100 years ago), the stories are fantastical and creepy. the way to describes the rural countryside of new england between 1916 and 1930, when you put it in context, it was a creepy time: world war i, the great depression, it reminds me of the ohio countryside and the horrors hiding in grain silos. it also reminds me of the movies pearl   and the devil all the time . my literal roman empire is the dust bowl, old rural americana, the american gothic.  there were some parts of most stories that were in true form racist: all these evils came from non-white groups. mentions of voodoo among new orleans african americans, the "evil book" necronomicon coming from an arabic author, and a racist portrayal of the innuit in the cthuhlu story itself. lovecraft was indeed a white supremacist, according to his wikipedia. check o...
