Fav movies/shows/books (•v•)?
Awww thank you for the question!!
My favorite movies are pretty all over the place. I really prefer anything that's kinda dated LOL...I love 70s/80s/90s films. But here's a list
Constantine (#1 fave.)
Blade Runner (Sexy android shooty time + Young harrison ford)
The Mummy (Brendan Fraser...jfhalskdjfhals)
Labrynth (PUPPETS...and some of David Bowies BEST tunes imo)
Alien (Love that freaking goofy ass xenomorph)'
Shows are a little different. I like a lot of trashy "historical" dramas like Tudors and shit...honestly I just like trash. But for my FAVES:
Star Trek (DS9, Voyager, Next Gen, TOS...in that order)
Lie To Me
Elementary
Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries
Silly shit like Psych, and Scrubs.
AND WWDITS
Books!!!! UHHH...I don't read much, I'm gonna be honest. I read a lot of fic. (I know...I'm trying to read more.) I read a lot of self help books and things like that honestly. And comic books. I read a lot of comic books.
In the Company Of Ogres by A. Lee Martinez (Honestly everything by this author is so good to me...just really silly and funny with like...dark themes and stuff and I enjoy that.)
The Savior's Champion + The Savior's Sister by Jenna Morecci (Dark fantasy. Very violent. Saucy)
Hellblazer (This is a comic book series but...seriously my favorite thing ever. John Constantine could not be more of a pathetic, sad, bisexual meow meow)

@skystamp tagged me and it took me a minute, but here are five songs I've listened to recently.
Let Me Down Easy - Daisy Jones and the Six
I watched the show, and it's fine. The ending was lame, but I liked it okay otherwise. Riley Keough and Nabiyah Be were very good. And yes, I listened to the album by this fake band. It's also fine. You might as well just listen to Fleetwood Mac, honestly. But it has some catchy tunes. I generally like the live versions from the show a bit better than the polished "album" versions though.
Waffle House - The Jonas Brothers
I'm still vestigially in Jonas fandom. It was never really about the music for me, I was in it for the fic. And for the codependent brothers. (Except I did love love love the DNCE album. Suck on that, Nick! Joe was secretly the most talented one all along!) But yeah, my favorite albums from my Disney era were Demi's Here We Go Again and Aly and AJ's Insomniatic. So although I still have feelings about the Jonas Brothers, they're not really much about the music. I still listen to their stuff though in the way that you might listen to music put out by someone you went to high school with or used to date or something. This one is fun, but I hate that one line about "headstrong father and a determined mother." It just hits my ear wrong rhythmically.
Fistfight - Ballroom Thieves
I added this one to my steddie playlist a while ago, and I listen to it pretty often. I really like the dirty groove of it, and the soar of the chorus. Love the line: They said love is grabbing blindly at a pit full of snakes/And wait to feel the only heel among the rows of all the venomous teeth and of course the chorus: You were a bright light/You were a fistfight. IDK I think that fits the way I'm writing them.
I'm a Man - Adam Lambert
This is from the covers album Adam put out recently. I don't like the Sex on Fire cover at all, but the rest is good. I think my faves are the Beatles-esque take on Getting Older, a sexy cool I Can't Stand the Rain, and a moody and modern Do You Really Want to Hurt Me that I like way better than the original. And this one, which is from Jobriath. He was an out gay rock musician in the early 70s. He had a big contract and a lot of marketing hype, and then his first album bombed, and he got basically abandoned by the industry and died of AIDS. Anyway, the Jobriath album is pretty much aping Ziggy Stardust/Bowie. Especially vocally. And it has several "space man" songs. But I kind of get more Elton John vibes overall. Jobriath was a pianist, so it's a lot more piano heavy than Bowie and it has these musical theater/showy/operatic tones. Like there's one song Movie Queen that just sounds like vaudeville/cabaret, not really "rock." Aaaanyway, Adam's voice is always A+ and you can tell he relates to this song. It's a great cover.
The One that Got Away - The Civil Wars
I guess Daisy Jones put me in the mood for fraught band relationships and tangled up feelings. This is so pretty and haunting. And I love that complicated dynamic of it was easier when it was just pining, and it was all potential, and it wasn't this hard, real thing.

bestie what are your top nine favorite movies atm
oooh good question <3 well like i said i'm discovering i've covered way more ground in tv over the last few years (which i'm gonna rectify soooooonnnnnn i think, got a lot of exciting recs from that recent tag game!!) so this is pitifully basic, but like in terms of what i'm thinking about Right This Moment:
the hitcher – slightly deranged about this ever since i saw it last week, a movie perfectly tuned to my preferences <3 love love LOVE the main performances & the dreamy atmosphere & the cinematography; just! the americana of it all!! plus there is soooo much to dig into, like the folkloric resonances (i mean the vanishing hitchhiker story HELLO), the gay panic (as in the actual original homophobic meaning) every shot of the first half hour is just LACED with, that scene where he puts the coins over his eyes in the diner.... obsessssssssssed.
the black phone – okay so i watched this last night & it might fade from the faves over the next few days but rn i can't stop Picking at it. genuinely Disturbed me a couple times so 🙈👍 ethan hawke ATE, the little girl playing the sister KILLED it, and my friend pj should've had more screentime so the sets of siblings could parallel each other or something but wcyd ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i am a little I Can Fix It about some of its clunkier plot points, but the main conceit of the phone fucked soooooo hard i can forgive it 💖
it 2017 – listen. i have been feeling this rewatch approaching all summer & as soon as i get my grubby hands on a projector (as god intended this movie to be watched <3), august is going to be thee month for it!!! idk it just has a very dear place in my heart 💕 like everyone else i did have a 2019 breakdown despite its many Many flaws, but the first one remains That Bitch w/ the perfect pacing & ending... coming of age film that just happens to have a clown in it babey!! also always going to care about eddie kaspbrak unfortunately 😔
nausicaä of the valley of the wind – my fave ghibli movie!! What Is There To Say. it was the first one i saw before i was aware everyone went insane about like hmc & princess monoke (which i also adore!!), so at first i was just Captivated by the animation genius & the Weirdness & the design of those bugs... it just plucks at something in me, like this is PRECISELY the kind of post-apocalyptic story i can enjoy, like what a coherent & hopeful environmental message that's, well, not subtle but certainly managed with a very deft touch!!!
fight club – sorry for being a film bro :/ anyway go look at this important piece of LGBT history
the death of stalin – love a comedy where everything falls apart around & also due to a bunch flailing back-stabbing incompetent idiots, so of course an armando iannucci joint always hits the spot <3 just SUCH alarming pettiness & cruelty that you have to laugh in the face of it ohhhh my godddddd
southern comfort – okay so kinda cheating with this docu, but it just impacted me sooooooo deeply the first time i saw it & i still go back and rewatch every once in a while. despite how sad it gets at the end, it actually is one of those things that gives me Real hope bc the whole thing is just about love & community & the radical Comfort transness allows you to find in yourself 💕💕💞💖 i would definitely rec it to absolutely everyone, it's only 90 mins & absolutely Life-Changing; i think there was a clip going round here a while ago about how affirming t4t love can be, and imo that just sums up the whole vibe. rest in power robert eads ✊😔
fire walk with me – well this is my favourite movie of all time despite the fact that i can NEVER ever watch it again ✌️ like i am well aware that it is technically kinda all over the place, what with david seeing fit to make the first half hour just "fbi procedural david bowie cameo now THIS character says something ominous & incomprehensible" but also. i Do Not Care bc the next hour + a half made me cry so hard it took me like 5 hrs to watch it; jesus CHRIST she was just a kid who needed someone to reach out and help her!!! laura i would have done so much cocaine with you & kept you alive forever!!!!!! also lynch's weird cryptic storytelling just appeals to me personally bc the way the meaning comes more from the audience's emotional response makes it kinda work on the same level as a folk tale for me, which i loveeeeeeeeeee unpicking; saw a post once about fwwm being structured like the saint's life of a martyr and !!! that is exactly It!
stardust – an all-time favourite, i mean the costumes! the pacing! the fun twists on fantasy tropes! the sheer CAMPINESS of it all!!! the way the plotlines converge in the end WOWED me as a child and to this day every time i watch another fantasy movie i'm like. Well You're Not Stardust Are You :/
& honourable mention to those films always occupying some part of my brain, that i can mouth along with from memory just because they are so comforting to me: tsn, the princess bride, 10 things i hate about you, pride 2014, bend it like beckham, saw (this nearly made the main list but like. too obvious.), the parent trap (1998 version), the karate kid
#hiiii bestie!! sorry i ignored this for a few days!#but i am BACK in good wifi now & Thinking About Movies#asks#americanphysco#also 9 is way too few i'm realising i wanted to put american psycho on here too#but i had to restrain myself bc what i've ACTUALLY been thinking about is the barbie movie version we've made up in our heads 😌#but fuck it the orig is a fave too put it on the board#personal#long post

10 songs from shuffle vs 5 songs I actually listen to
tagged by @kodachromism! for this, i just shuffled 10 different playlists and chose the first song that popped up
everybody's coming to my house - david byrne: first heard this when i watched the filmed production of "american utopia" on hbomax, but i was also lucky enough to win lottery tickets to go see "american utopia" live and it was amaaaazing
baby - misun: i think i first came across this song in high school?? it's not one of my faves, but it's a good song to listen to from time to time
female of the species - space: i actually first heard this song at a britpop dance night in brooklyn. i was pretty high and i had a lot of fun. i honestly need to go to more dance nights
la gare (guy s'en va) - josé bartel/danielle licari: a track from "the umbrellas of cherbourg", one of my favorite movies by my favorite director. im honestly so happy that i own a copy of this soundtrack on vinyl + found it for $1. now i just need to get "the young girls of rochefort" on vinyl too.
twilight world - swing out sister: i honestly need to listen to more swing out sister because i love this niche in 80s music so much
father and son - yusuf/cat stevens: i honestly got more into cat stevens after watching "harold and maude" for the first time a few years ago and i gotta say, i love his music
made first (never forget - acoustic) - tahiti 80: tahiti80 has the rare distinction of being a band that i found in 8th grade/9th grade and still like listening to. i honestly like the acoustic version better than the regular one though
good song - blur: i had a bit of a blur phase in november/december 2021. what a time
breathless - corinne bailey rae: i feel like this song came up on another music post, but it's still a great song, a great album, a great singer/songwriter
sleazy bed track - the bluetones: first heard this in "scott pilgrim vs the world", a movie that has such a good soundtrack. i listened to it soooo much in high school, especially on my way to school each morning.
5 songs i actually like (just went to my on repeat playlist)
love plus one - haircut 100: this song is just so in tune with my core music taste. i think i first learned about it from a vh1 countdown about 80s songs. honestly, the album the song is on is great too
i don't know - beastie boys/miho hatori: a bossa nova influenced song that feels like the theme song of my mid 20s so far
night and day - everything but the girl: i think this is the song that got me into everything but the girl. i have amplified heart on cassette but i need some of their albums on vinyl
try some buy some - george harrison: i'm slowly going through all of george's albums and at this point i'd say try some buy some is my favorite song by him. which is weird because it doesn't really sound like a george song (it isn't but it is, it was written for ronnie spector by george and produced by phil spector blah blah blah). it honestly sounds like a bowie song, so it makes sense that bowie also loved the song and covered it. i could ramble on about why i like this song tbh, but this is long already
a dream goes on forever - todd rundgren: not much to say, i just love listening to todd
i tag @lifeisverylongwhenyrlonely, @loveistheonlytruth, @cupuasu, @seasonsgreetingscreature and anyone else who wants to do it

ten seven fav songs
thank you @behaveddestroyerrating for the tag 💘
this is a blend of all-timers and current faves in heavy rotation, because context is everything and i’m an ephemeral moody b with selective commitment issues!
gold dust woman - fleetwood mac
my favorite RUMOURS track changes with the weather, but i have a tattoo of a specific photo of stevie nicks performing this song from a 1977 tour stop so it's got a special piece of my soul.
living room — tegan and sara
my best friends and i used to get drunk at the grimiest dive in our rural college town, repeatedly play this song on the jukebox and dance around (and sometimes on top of) the bar while falling in love and shouting the lyrics in each others’ faces. remains a staple of long drives through cornfields to this day.
chicago (demo version) - sufjan stevens
the original/final version of this song is of course lush and sweeping and iconic in its own right — but the demo will always echo the true spirit of the city to me. it’s rougher, stretched thin; simultaneously tense and tenacious, a bit anxiety-inducing but driven by hope. it scraps its way through to the end of another day and makes my little chicagoan heart swell with pride.
ghost in the machine (ft. phoebe bridgers) - SZA
a repeat play on my “sad but hot” playlist.
down in mexico — the coasters
love a song with some dirtynasty brass, love to slink around the living room and kitchen with this playing at full volume so my upstairs neighbors think i'm running an illicit honky tonk out of my apartment.
teenage wildlife — david bowie
criminally underrated bowie tune, imo! something about it just perfectly encapsulates the joy and anxiety of getting older and constantly relearning that things can and often will change on a dime. just Really Chill Thoughts, y'know
killshot (slowed + reverb) — magdalena bay
this song fucks. the end!
tagging @heavyinmyarms (any other mutual that hasn’t done this yet because i love getting song recs!)

Heyyyy, Aarne. 🖤
It’s been a while since we spoke so I wanted to say hello. Listening to some tunes and a Bowie song came on, which made me think of you. This one, one of my faves…
Take care of you, gorgeous. 😌🖤🖤
HEY!!! Shells!
I've been off the radar for a bit but happy to come back to this. Hope you have been doing well. I do love this song as well, not sure if it would be in my faves but I do like it a lot.
Hope you are having an awesome evening hun!

2, 9, 10, 14, 20, 21, 32
2. an album you wish you could hear again for the first time
yeezus. i got it tattooed on me for a reason lol
9. name a musician who is no longer living who you wish you could see in concert
kurt cobain kurt cobain kurt cobain
10. what was your first concert?
i genuinely think it was david bowie, late 90s, my parents brought me along i was 5 or 6 and fell asleep during
14. is there any band/musician who you really strongly dislike? if so, why?
taylor swift, she has a few good tunes but i can’t stand her as a person lmao
20. who (if anyone!) is your least favorite member of your favorite band?
umm favorite band is complicated bc i have so many, but I’ve been riding hard and long for Foals. i truly don’t have a member i dislike, it was sad seeing walter and then edwin go but i’m sure they had their reasons, and that Yannis jack and jimmy probably don’t hold any ill will in that decision. It’s hard to stay as a band I feel for any amount of time, much less a decade plus. I love them all whoops i guess i failed this question.
Okay no, Arctic Monkeys 2018 and onwards Alex has been my least fave sorry not sorry
21. what is a song that you like, but that you don’t listen to very often?
it used to be I'll Take Care of U by gil scott heron and jamie xx, that one i love a lot but it would fill me with sadness bc it reminded me only of my most depressing time in my life, but now it’s a song for my fave ship and i can listen to it again. love that.
32. what is a band/artist you really wanted to start listening to, but you just really couldn’t get into it?
fleetwood mac. I try every year man. there’s a handful songs I do love, but it’s slow going

Best of New Colossus 2024
I'm currently recovering from a busy New Colossus Festival and a few folk have asked for rundown of my faves, so here you go.
First of all, this years fest was my absolute favorite and it was great to see so many packed venues appreciating the music. I've been every year to this festival, I love it and long may it continue.
If you don't know what it's all about it's similar to SXSW, or Iceland Airwaves, or a personal favorite of mine back home - The Great Escape in Brighton. Tons of small venues showcasing new and upcoming bands. New Colossus leans towards indie, rock and shoegaze, but there's a smattering of other genres too all in the best small venues in the Lower East Side, NYC.
Here's what I enjoyed the most:
Cucamaras
Possibly the festival highlight for me. Nottingham band taking influences from early Arctic Monkeys, Fontaines DC, Yard Act. As with a lot of these new bands their Spotify list doesn't really do them justice, you have to see them live.
youtube
NOBRO
Definitely the most fun set of the week. 4 piece canadian all female punk band, with sing-a-long choruses, crowd surfing and smiles galore. My fave chant: EAT! SLAY! CHARDONNAY!
youtube
Reme
Half spanish, half english classic rock, super talented musicians. Sleeves proudly adorned by all their influences, Beatles, Bowie, Queen, Elton John all come through, another fantastic live band.
youtube
Scrounge
Two piece, reverse White Stripes formation. Killer riffs and angry vocals. This is an instant classic. Formidable live.
youtube
Langkamer
Bristol lads with a drummer / singer. Sound like Pavement, Belle & Sebastian and Teenage Fanclub. Full of catchy melodies and fun lyrics.
youtube
O.Wake
I broke my no local band rule for O.Wake, as they play regularly in NYC along with my other local faves Mary Shelley and TVOD. But Im glad I did. They're a little hard to pigeonhole, the new single is quite funky phoenix style indie, great lyrics and songs that veer in all sorts of directions but usually with a great hook.
youtube
Slash Need
Certainly won't be a lot of peoples cup of tea, but if they're on a festival you're at this year - GO SEE THEM. Musically they're dark electronica, I would imagine Peaches is a big influence and if you know the belgian dance band GOOSE similar sounding to them. Visually, it's a feast, lead by a fierce lead singer, heavy beats and two gimp-like dancers that get uncomfortably close.
youtube
Hotel Mira
Probably the most primed for a main stream audience out of all this list. Radio friendly indie-pop with a very enigmatic lead singer but you can't deny they got tunes and they're good fun live.
youtube
Minas
The most intense set of the week. Difficult to categorize again, nearest I can think of is The Prodigy. Welsh rap / industrial noise / metal?? I honestly don't know, but they put on a helluva show. Two of the best heckles came out of this set, 1. "MORE YELLING PLEASE" after a particularly shouty track and 2. "Are YOU OK?" a response to the singer asking us if we're OK after a track which had him pounding the floor and screaming. Terrifying, but super interesting.
youtube
Holiday Ghosts
Perhaps the polar opposite to Minas, bright sunny indie, chock full of tunes from Brighton / Falmouth. Hints of a milder Sleater Kinney.
youtube
I've done a spotify playlist with these and a few more artists I liked the sound of but didn't get round to watching so check it out .
While I have you my general 2024 new music playlist is taking shape, so give that a follow too and I'll continue to add to it.

This weeks guest is the coolest guy in Australian Radio, Dave Holleran, or simply Davo. His music taste is very wide, but also very good.
Can you tell us a little about yourself?
Radio Broadcaster & Music Director, living in Queensland. Head of Music Programming at Rebel FM & The Breeze Radio Networks for the past 11 years. I’ve been in radio for 20+ years, as well as working in various other roles in Print Media, Television & the greater music Industry.
What bands did you listen to growing up?
It all starts with The Beatles & Bowie, add in 90’s alt rock, hip hop & major lashings of early 00’s dance music & it all lends itself to the greater hodge podge that is my music tastes.
How and why did you get into radio djing?
I’d completed a trade & spent so much time listening to radio & music. I always thought gee, I could do that gig but never had the guts to try. One day after bungee jumping off a cliff, the fear of heights and the fear that had held me back from doing something about it vanished. I quit my very well paid job, went to radio school & never looked back. (** occasionally I look back lovingly at that high paid job)
You work for rebel fm, How did this come about?
I was doing demo shows for a few major australia radio stations & my style/ their style/s weren’t glueing together. I drove home from the studios one night and saw a church sign that quoted The Stones. “ Ya can’t always get what ya want, but if ya try sometimes, ya might find ya get what ya need ”. I saw a job ad for Rebel the next day, applied, the rest is history.
What was the first, best and worst concert you attended?
First was either 1927 or Kylie Minogue, both big faves of my Mum.
Best is a tie - Billy Joel (Rod Laver) Bloc Party (Splendour 07)
Flaming Lips/Portishead (Harvest Fest 11)
Worst, Bob Dylan twice, both so awful I left.
What bands and festivals are still on your bucket lists to see live?
Bowie sadly aint gonna happen! PrimaVera Sound in Barcelona is!
What do you think of the Australian music scene?
Vibrant,underrated
Who are the biggest bands from Australia over the last 2 decades?
Parkway Drive, Powderfinger, Jet, The Vines, Silverchair, Wolfmother. From a personal taste perspective I’d add Violent Soho & DZ Deathrays into the mix.
What bands would you like to see reform( dead or alive members?
Violent Soho, Velociraptor. Heaps more Brisbane bands mainly, bands that shaped my youth or were just good mates playing good tunes.
If you were stuck on an island with only one album, what would you pick?
Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band .. A Day In The Life on repeat ..
Finally, where can people find you?
On Air - rebelfm.com.au weekdays 2-6pm

Hey steph !
Any band or singer that you really enjoy ?
Personally I love Sum 41, Green Day, System of a Down and Aerosmith (I'm bit of a rock fan) 😁
Hi Nonny!
AHHHHH I love when people ask me random stuff like this, hahah!
Ah, my FAVE "band" ever is the Pet Shop Boys... I got into them when I was 12 and there was no turning back! I just love them so much. As I got older, my fave genre has changed a bit, but I still love that 80's pop sound that PSB still manages to produce. Their music has influenced my taste in music greatly. I like similar bands like New Order, Depeche Mode, and David Bowie.
Most of my music tastes, actually, was influenced by my Dad, which explains why I love the PSB so much... He bought their "Very" album when it came out because he liked their version of Go West, and when he saw I loved it, he gave me the CD, and since then, I just pretty much get every album they put out. I especially love their remixes. I GENUINELY believe they make some of the best remixes ever. My fave remixes by them are:
Rammstein - Mein Teil (Pet Shop Boys Remix)
Madonna - Sorry (PSB Maxi-Mix)
David Bowie - Hallo Spaceboy (Pet Shop Boys Remix)
Hard to pick a fave song by them, I love them SO much. Top Ten, in no particular order:
I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind of Thing (Extended Nude Mix)
Love Etc. (Pet Shop Boys Mix)
Can You Forgive Her?
Paninaro '95
Euroboy
It's a Sin
I Want a Lover
Absolutely Fabulous
The Boy Who Couldn’t Keep His Clothes On
Dreamland (ft. Years and Years)
I love pretty much all their songs, but these are the ones I never skip.
In recent years, though, I’m very much more into Industrial and EBM, you know, stuff that’s hard to find in North America... I only discovered it because of the internet,, and then I just... fell in love. Informätik, Pride and Fall, Funker Vogt, Apoptygma Berzerk, Scooter... SO many I love.
AND Video Game and “epic” music; love putting it on as background noise when I need to concentrate.
And, if you get a good 80′s or 90′s tune going, well, that hits my nostalgia bubble in all the right places!
I just really love music. Thank you for letting me share some of my faves with you. There’s just too many to list! <3 I need to get my personal JLPL out sometime this century.

top five pulp songs and top five songs with homoeroctic undertones <33
(these are all in no particular order because that’s too hard)
pulp songs:
• common people
• do you remember the first time?
• a little soul / I’m a man (they hit a very similar place for me and I usually listen to them together so I’m counting them as one, call this a cop out)
• glory days / cocaine socialism (another cop out but I love both goes at this one)
• babies
songs with homoerotic undertones:
• [the kinks free space, I can’t decide between david watts and do you remember walter?]
• lady stardust - david bowie (OVERtones could be argued here but that could probably be argued with a lot of these and “I smiled sadly for a love I could not obey” gets in on “a love that dare not speak its name” vibes alone)
• the drowners - suede (“we kissed in his room to a popular tune” couldn’t be more clear and yet somehow I still feel like it fits…..but animal nitrate as well obviously because the gay references in that are a little more oblique)
• I mean m.orrissey is unfortunately the master of niche gay reference and lyrical charade so I feel like a lot of songs could go here but I mean this charming man - the smiths is like the “so obviously gay yet dense enough lyrically that what exactly it’s saying in that vein is obscured just enough as to be a radio success in 1984…something something cruising etc” ultimate (but swallow on my neck and late night maudlin street and sister I’m a poet and hairdresser on fire are my personal faves)
• goodbye earl - the chicks (nothing but love for MY country lesbian husband murder anthem)
honorable mentions: andy you’re a star - the killers and the entire libertines discography <3 and d’yer wanna be a spaceman just because I just went on about it, I don’t care if I’m reading too much into it lol

not a fic-related question but! i've been so curious: do you have any favourite artists? not restricted to singers/performers, but also painters, sculptors, architects, weavers, etc. none of the ask games include them and i wanted to hear your answer ☹
Hi anon, thanks for the ask! I must admit I know very little about art so my answer will probably be a bit disappointing. My main blog is all about pretty aesthetics but the truth is that I’ve never had inspiring people teaching me history of art or literature as a kid, so it’s not something I got invested in over the years. Everything I like is circumstantial - meaning I basically stumble upon it and find it pleasant to the ears/eyes. I’m not particularly knowledgeable about styles, techniques and whatnot 😅
My musical taste is pretty eclectic - I gravitate towards indie over other genres but I enjoy a lot of different things as the tune is what usually hits me first. If I had to pick 3 faves I’d go with Imogen Heap, Alcest and Fleetwood Mac. I’ve been a fan of their work for a long time and I enjoy everything they’ve done, which is kinda unusual for me. I’m also a big fan of Bowie, Sufjan Stevens, Angus & Julia Stone and Of Monsters and Men.
In terms of art I’m partial to surrealism - I enjoy works that disturb me enough to make me look twice, so Bretton, Magritte, Ernst and Dalí are a few favorites, and I also enjoy Kahlo’s colorful self-portraits! On the contemporary side, I’ve been enchanted by Yayoi Kusama’s work ever since I went to an exhibit ten years ago; it was mesmerizing to see up close her intriguing kaleidoscope of colors and forms, hands down my best experience at a museum.
I know next to nothing about sculpture and other forms of art so I’m gonna go with good old Michelangelo because his body of work never fails to take my breath away with that perfect human anatomy. Finally, I’m not sure if poetry counts - I don’t read much anyway, but since we’re here my favorite poet is Manoel de Barros, a Brazilian. I love the simplicity of his daily life contemplation, the way he translates the aching of the human spirit in its connection with nature and time. What about you? Please feel free to share your faves! ❤️
