Sunshine Sachs must've called in a LOT of favors to get so many famous names on board the Archetypes Podcast and the 40x40 project. Vanity projects that went... nowhere.
Without Sunshine Sachs, IMO it's highly unlikely that M will ever be able to reach the same level of celebrity access on her own.

If you don't know today marks one year since Andre De Shields last performance in hadestown, it also marks the first time I ever saw hadestown. I saw hadestown not knowing anything about it other than wait for me and way down hadestown (before I thought way down hadestown was the opening number), but the day I saw it was extra special cause it was André De Shields last day, so the energy in the theatre was like electric.
the performances were amazing, I fell in love with the entire cast and I followed them all on Instagram the moment I stepped out of the theatre and most importantly I fell in love with the show as a whole :).
As of now I've seen the show 3 times (twice on Broadway once on tour) and that's just because I love this show so much! I've made many friends because of the mutual love for hadestown, and I've found awesome writers, artists, and theorists because of hadestown.
This show means so much to me and I hope I can be in it one day or just be a merch seller or an usher for it :)
Yes yes ik this was sappy but hey I've liked hadestown for over a year now! I deserve to make a sappy post

Bob Dylan's The Philosophy of Modern Song - A July 17 Dramatic Reading at 92NY
Bob Dylan’s acclaimed The Philosophy of Modern Song takes center stage at 92NY’s Unterberg Poetry Center on Monday, July 17 at 7:30 pm when actors André De Shields and Odessa Young visit to read from the book — in which Dylan riffs on 66 songs by other artists.
The dramatic reading will be interspersed with songs detailed in the book, performed by Grammy Award-winning musical artist Meshell…
here are the rules, in case you don't know what this is about. as the title suggests, here are all the songs that will participate in the first semifinal!
here is the poll to vote for your favourite :)
NO HAS VENIDO A SUFRIR - NIÑOS MUTANTES
youtube
niños mutantes ('mutant kids') is an indie pop band from granada formed in 1994 and composed of juan alberto martínez, nani castañeda, migue haro, and andrés lópez. they are staples in the genre.
no has venido a sufrir ('you haven't come to suffer') is an existencialist song about shielding someone from suffering in life, having an optimistic tone full of light.
2. ROMANCERA - GUITARRICADELAFUENTE
youtube
guitarricadelafuente ('little guitar of the spring'), stage name of álvaro lafuente, born in benicàssim (castelló) but with an aragonese heritage, first became known for his version of the popular cuban song guantanamera [a fucking masterpiece, i strongly recommend it] in 2019, and since then he's been going song, with a very particular sound inspired by old hispanic songs with traditional themes and musicality, and of course, with the guitar always at the center of the music.
romancera (a type of traditional hispanic poetry) is an ode to the city of barcelona, where álvaro grew up, with lyrics alluding to its charm and the mystery and fantasy of its nights, sounding as ethereal as the lyrics are meant to be.
3. ESA TAMBIÉN FUI YO (QUIERO ACORDARME) - ALBA RECHE
youtube
alba reche (aka the love of my life), born in elx (alacant) became famous through the singing contest / reality show operación triunfo 2018, where she was the runner up [for some reason totally unrelated to my obsession to this show more people from here might appear later on <3], and since then she's became a staple in the spanish indie pop scene, and especially in queer and pride contexts. she has also recently started a podcast where she interviews other indie artists [i really recommend it it's great!!!].
esa también fui yo (quiero acordarme) ('she was also me (i want to remember)') is a gut wrenching song where she recounts traumatic experiences she's had but that barely remembers (because of trauma), and reconciles with her past self as a form of healing. its a lot, and it's incredibly executed.
4. ANSIEDAD - GINEBRAS
youtube
ginebras ('gins') are an indie rock band formed in madrid in 2018 and composed by [my girlies] magüi berto (vocals), sandra sabater (guitar and vocals), raquel lópez (bass), and juls acosta (drums). they're probably the most well-known female indie rock band right now, to the point this october they are doing their first song in the largest venue in madrid, the wizink center [and of course i'm going to see them <3]!
ansiedad ('anxiety') talks about precisely that, anxiety, and how shitty it is. it has very straight to the point lyrics, and such a fun beat and music, it's great i love it.
5. LO BAILAO - NIA
youtube
nia, whose full name is estefanía correia, was born in las palmas de gran canaria (canary islands) to a canarian mother and a father from guinea bissau. she became known through winning operación triunfo 2020 [told you there were more], and since then she has been on multiple tv shows and has performed in various award shows. prior to her breakthrough, she worked in the spanish version of the lion king!
lo bailao ('what's been danced') alludes to the spanish idiom 'que me quiten lo bailao' ('may they take away from me what's been danced'), which funnily enough was the title of the song that represented spain in eurovision 2011 [an underrated bop tbh]. it means more or less that, no matter if things go right or wrong, at least you had fun through it and that's what matters. just as the idiom, this song is fun and a perfect summer bop!
6. ME HE PILLAO X TI - ANA MENA & NATALIA LACUNZA
youtube
[when i tell you i have the biggest grin on rn. prolly my most listened song this year <3]
ana mena, born in málaga, is THE spanish pop girlie right now (alongside aitana), she's making numbers and having hit after hit. she recently released her second album, bellodrama, and has been breaking records ever since. she is very influenced by italian music and in fact has tons of songs in italian, and her most known songs are spanish versions of italian songs (both bops btw, they're un clásico and música ligera, i highly recommend them).
natalia lacunza, born in iruña, was a contestant in operación triunfo 2018, where she ended up third, and since then she's become royalty in the spanish indie pop scene. she has collabed with at least half of spanish indie pop artists and groups (among them guitarricadelafuente in her first single ever!), most of them queer (like her), and her solo stuff is just mind blowing. she also recently passed the 1 million listeners mark in spotify!!
me he pillao x ti ('i've fallen 4 u') is a fun pop song about unrequited love and that feeling of having a crush on someone who you can't pursuit cause they already have a partner. it's absolute brainrot, i love it.
7. LUCKY - SHEGO
youtube
shego (yes. like the kim possible character) is an indie post-punk band formed in madrid in 2021 and composed by maite, raquel, charlotte and aroa. they are best known for its aesthetic, attitude and sardonic tone in their songs, and have collabed with big names in the indie world like zahara and, of course, natalia lacunza herself.
lucky talks about going back to something (or someone) that you know its bad, but can't help to. however, the song is positive, trying to convince the listener that this time it'll be the last time.
8. POR PRIMERA VEZ - NEREA RODRÍGUEZ
youtube
nerea rodríguez, born in barcelona, first became known through being a contestant in operación triunfo 2017, and since then she's been busy: she's become a professional voice actor, she's composed songs for disney movies, she's been a main actress in the spanish musical la llamada for 5 years now, and on top of that, she's been releasing music on her own.
por primera vez (for the first time) is a pop-rock song about all the 'firsts' in a relationship and how they can also turn into 'lasts'. the aesthetic and beat reminds of the y2k trend, started in spain by aitana in 2021 or so.
9. NO QUIERO - ANNE LUKIN
youtube
anne lukin, born in iruña, first became known - just as the previous artist - through being a contestant in operación triunfo 2020. since then she has released an album, and has delved into her own sound, uniting more melodic elements with 80s-style electronic stuff.
no quiero (i don't want to) talks about the dread of not wanting to die alone but not knowing how to love, all with a synth-like sound.
10. LA FUNCIÓN - ROI MÉNDEZ
youtube
roi méndez, born in santiago de compostela (galicia), was a contestant in operación triunfo 2017, and since then he's released an album and has collabed with bands and artists like sinsinati, veintiuno, and ainoa buitrago.
la función (the show) is an intimist ballad about hiding your true feelings behind a façade and being unable to be your truest self because of that. it's his first song like this, so he chose to be vulnerable for once.

Gods and men, a'ight? We got some gods in the house tonight!
[I.D.: An image of Hermes from the Broadway musical Hadestown. He is a thin-looking 75 year old Black man with dark brown skin and short curly grey hair. He stands, leaning on the table. There's a staircase behind him. Hermes' expression is calm with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He wears a gold suit with a shirt, a tie, and a vest underneath. End I.D.]
Speedrunning this to say fare thee well to André de Shields as Mr. Hermes!
And he's a cheetah because I don't think there are nearly enough furry drawings in the ht fandom
[Image ID: A colored digital sketch of Hermes from Hadestown, except he's now a black king cheetah with silver spots. He wears his iconic silver suit with feathers on the sleeves and feet, with smaller, downier feathers falling around him. Hermes' right hand has its thumb and index finger outstretched, like an L shape, while his left hand holds his black umbrella. Both hands have a silver ring on them. Hermes is smiling with his mouth open, displaying a silver tongue. I dunno, it looked cool. A spotlight shines down on Hermes, the background is a gray-ish blue, and the artist's signature is in the top left corner. End ID]

The Musical. (Live Original Cast Recording), Hadestown (Original Broadway Cast Recording), and Ulysses Dies At Dawn)
Transcript below the cut
[HERMES (Chris Sullivan)]
There was a young man down on a bended knee
And brother, thus begins the tale
Of Orpheus and Eurydice!
[ORPHEUS (Reeve Carney)]
Come home with me
[EURYDICE (Eva Noblezada)]
Who are you?
[ORPHEUS (Reeve Carney) and Chorus]
The man who's gonna marry you
I'm Orpheus
[EURYDICE (Eva Noblezada)]
Is he always like this?
[HERMES (André De Shields)]
Yes
[EURYDICE (Eva Noblezada)]
I'm Eurydice
[ORPHEUS (Reeve Carney) and Chorus]
Your name is like a melody
[EURYDICE (Eva Noblezada)]
A singer, is that what you are?
[ORPHEUS (Reeve Carney)]
I also play the lyre…
[EURYDICE (Anaïs Mitchell)]
Lover, tell me, when we’ll wed
Who’s gonna make the wedding bed?
Times being what they are
Hard, and getting harder all the time
[ORPHEUS (Justin Vernon)]
Lover, when I sing my song
All the birds gonna sing along
And they’ll come flying round to me
To lay their feathers at my feet
And we’ll lie down in eiderdown
A pillow ’neath our heads
The birds are gonna make the wedding bed
And the trees are gonna lay the wedding table
And the rivers are gonna give us the wedding band
[Rattlesnake noises]
[HERMES (André De Shields)]
Songbird versus rattlesnake!
[EURYDICE (Anaïs Mitchell)]
Orpheus, my heart is yours
Always was and will be
Oh, my heart, it aches to stay
But the flesh will have its way
Oh, the way is dark and long
I’m already gone, I’m gone
[ORPHEUS (Damon Daunno)]
Eurydice?
[HERMES (Chris Sullivan)]
Hey, the big artiste!
Ain't you working on your masterpiece?
[ORPHEUS (Damon Daunno)]
Where is she?
[HERMES (Chris Sullivan)]
Brother, what do you care?
You'll find another muse somewhere
[ORPHEUS (Damon Daunno)]
Where is she?
[HERMES (Chris Sullivan)]
Why do you wanna know?
[ORPHEUS (Damon Daunno)]
Wherever she is, is where I'll go
[HERMES (Chris Sullivan)]
What if I said she's down below?
[ORPHEUS (Damon Daunno)]
Down below?
[HERMES (Chris Sullivan)]
Down below
Six-feet-under-the-ground below
She called your name before she went
But I guess you weren't listening
[ORPHEUS (Damon Daunno)]
No...
[HERMES (Chris Sullivan)]
So...
Just how far would you go for her?
[ORPHEUS (Damon Daunno)]
To the end of time
[ORPHEUS (Reeve Carney) and COMPANY]
Wait for me I'm coming! I'm coming
Wait, I'm coming with you
Wait for me, I'm coming too
I'm coming! (Wait!)
I'm coming wait for me (Wait!)
I hear the walls repeating (Wait!)
The falling of my feet and
It sounds like drumming (Wait!)
And I am not alone (Wait!)
I hear the rocks and stones (Wait!)
Echoing my song
I'm coming!
(Coming…)
(Coming…)
[JONNY D’VILLE (Jonny Sims)]
Orpheus’ story isn’t unusual. A broke young musician with a dead fiancee, just another life chewed up by the City. This broke young musician didn’t accept that, though.
He needed his true love.
So he went to Hades.
[HADES (Patrick Page)]
Only one thing to be done
Let them think that they have won
Let them leave together
Under one condition:
Orpheus, the undersigned
Shall not turn to look behind
She’s out of sight
And he’s out of his mind
Every coward seems courageous
In the safety of the crowd
Bravery can be contagious
When the band is playing loud
Nothing makes a man so bold
As a woman’s smile and a hand to hold
But all alone his blood runs thin
And doubt comes...
Doubt comes in
[ORPHEUS (Damon Daunno)]
Where are you now?
[EURYDICE (Nabiyah Be)]
Orpheus,
Hold on, hold on tight
It won’t be long
’cause the darkest hour
Of the darkest night
Comes right before the dawn--
[EURYDICE (Nabiyah Be) gasps]
[ORPHEUS (Reeve Carney)]
It's you…
[EURYDICE (Eva Noblezada)]
It's me...
Orpheus...
[ORPHEUS (Reeve Carney)]
Eurydice…
[JONNY D’VILLE (Jonny Sims)]
But he can’t see it through, though, can he? Flinches, looks back.
