Nyrkkitappelu - Halailijat
Finnish punk about how annoying touchy feely people are (to Finns)
LYRICS
On perjantai ja sulla fiilis on yllä
It's Friday and you're feeling good
Tiedän sut, ollaan tuttuja kyllä
I know we're familiar with each other
Mut ei aleta nyt axeja testaamaan
But let's not test each other's limits and Axe antiperspirants right now
Pidä halaava tassusi taskussa vaan
Just keep your affectionate paws in your pockets
Ei se niin vaikeeta olla voi
It can't be that hard
Kädestä päivää tai suullinen moi
Just to shake hands or say verbally hello
Halailijat!
Huggers!
Voidaan leikkiä frendiä
We can pretend to be friends
Mut en ymmärrä läheisyystrendiä
But I don't understand the trend towards intimacy
Tää ehkä on setien settiä
Maybe this is what the guys do
Mut mä noudatan eri etikettiä
But I follow a different etiquette
Ei se niin vaikeeta olla voi
It can't be that hard
Kädestä päivää tai suullinen moi
Just to shake hands or say verbally hello
Halailijat!
Huggers!

I'm going to preface this story by saying: I don't necessarily believe in karma, but
I may have been walking through today with a vague sense of disbelief tainted with unkind smugness after my tiktok fyp was flooded with poor fans who tried to get presale ticket to one mr n. kahan's new tour only to find that demand was through the roof and GA pit tickets were seriously going for $300, in presale, and even the "worst" tickets in the lawn were going for $70
and while I undoubtedly think it's deeply unethical for both platforms (thanks ticketmaster) and artists to allow such dramatic ticket cost inflation, I also generally don't relate...
I (VERY LUCKILY) gravitate towards smaller acts, and the most I've paid for a ticket all year has been, like... $90 for a ticket to beyonce, which got cancelled and I was refunded lol. if I look back at all my receipts from shows this year, most have been around $50/ticket after fees, and several have been closer to $20. my favorite show I've seen all year was a $15 ticket.
it's mostly luck—I tend to like smaller acts, and I've been seeing mainly rock acts this year, and those tickets simply don't run as high as pop acts. and part of me is honestly very grateful that I haven't been swept into any of the really recent huge acts.
I think of all the people scrabbling for boygenius or taylor swift tickets and how much money they've had to shell out... how a lot of them don't even GET to see the acts they want to see because they've been priced out or tickets sold out. I can't remember the last time a show I wanted to go to sold out lol. maybe bastille in london?
and again, it's just a matter of luck that I'm not really into any of these megastars and therefore don't have to compete in the gladiator arena to try to see shows I want to see, but sometimes luck manifests as a feeling of self-satisfaction, you know? who among us hasn't experienced a little self-superiority from time to time.
look, if YOUR tiktok was flooded with people saying concerts have been awful since 2021 (including rock and metal shows), but every concert YOU'VE been to since 2021 was amazing and the crowds were really good and you always got tickets and it never broke the bank, you'd feel pretty validated in your choice of musicians and the crowds they attract too, alright?? sue me! I felt frugal AND undeservedly clever!
anyways back to karma. guess who got invited and subsequently agreed to shell out $70 to sit in a lawn and listen to mr. n. kahan sing. I'll give you a hint, her tumblr username starts with an r and ends with an s

I hadn't listened to Foolin Yourself (Angry Young Man) by Styx in a while and I listened to it and I'm like "Oh right my favorite song that feels like it was written directly to young men struggling with mental health and self esteem that makes me cry" What a good fucking song dude I love it so much

got into a convo with my family this morning that started with politics and philosophy and ended up spiraling into a rant about the nature of goodness and none of that is actually important eXCEPT that it reminded me of the ‘without hope without witness without reward’ quote and this all leads me to what I want to say which is—
I have realized that that line ^ is the standard by which I measure any portrayal of River Song. if there’s a story about her that doesn’t convince me that a) this is a person who could and would write that OR b) this is a person who can become the kind of person who writes that, then it’s not going to work for me.

text them shit about ur ex then, ruin his rep right back
just talked to one of my friends on the phone for a while and dw they already know everything I have to say more or less about him it’s just. I can’t force them to cut contact with him or anything especially without sounding like exactly what he makes me out to be (manipulative, controlling, whatever) so. as much as my friend has reassured me in a lot of ways I’m still sort of stuck at an impasse when it comes to Him
