P!nk: Funhouse

  • P!nk continues to give me anxiety with her break up songs to the point it’s actually a pretty big distraction from the music, BUT I love ‘Bad Influence‘. It influenced me to actually make my first playlist on the music service (Amazon) I’m using. Finally googled who she goes to sit with in So What and it’s… ‘drum boy’? Well, that’s better than what I was hearing which was ‘I guess I’ll go sit with Trump, boy at least he’ll know how to hit’ which, thanks, ears, thanks.

Vitamin C: Vitamin C

  • Very easy listening. Little confused when Smile ended with a reggae woman talking about dimples until I remembered like, the point of the song. I don’t know much about Vitamin C except a REALLY great Barbie was made of her. Anyway I probably won’t be relistening to this album, but I enjoyed it the whole way through. Since I’ve been starting out trying albums on the music service, I’ve only relistened to a few of the several I’ve gone through already. I guess they’re like me and books.

Savage Garden: Savage Garden

  • This was an album that was one of the background musics of my teenagerhood and it transported me right back. Even my cheek was breaking out. THIS is one of the ones I was relistening to, I think half nostalgia and half ‘oh man I REALLY like this’. The first three tracks, To the Moon & Back, Carry On Dancing, and Tears of Pearls, were especially pleasing to mine ear.

Amy Winehouse: Back to Black

  • Another one I liked well enough but won’t be listening to again, probably. It was sort of weird hearing her voice and then checking her picture and no, that was a white English woman, not a Black American woman. I think the dissonance put me off. Anyway, rest in peace, Amy Winehouse, I do understand why you had fans. Also your wikipedia page is incredibly huge holy crap.

Britney Spears: Circus

  • I really really like Womanizer, Circus, Kill the Lights, and If U Seek Amy to an amazing degree and the moment I heard Blur and Mmm Papi my knowledge of Britney Spears’ living situation made me feel so ill I was unable to finish the album until the next day and will probably never listen past If U Seek Amy ever again. Eurgh.

Music! Bastille, P!nk, Paramore, plus more Flight Rising

I don’t listen to a lot of music deliberately because I like to focus on it and that means that I can’t be doing a lot of other tasks, but I was doing some grinding in Flight Rising for Strange Chests, I thought ‘hey! I could do it to albums!’ so musical time came. Also, I had 30 chests to sell in the end.

All right.


Bastille – Bad Blood

I like Bastille. They sound pleasant and there’s a bit of pretentiousness in the lyrics that appeal to me in a ‘oh that’s clever!’ way. I particularly like Pompeii, Icarus, and Things We Lost In The Fire.

Paramore – After Laughter

It was pleasant enough to listen to, but I couldn’t tell you a single lyric from this album except the fake happy one and that one song kept ending its lyrics before the last word of the sentence which drove me nuts. But overall a good album for grinding in a videogame!

P!nk – The Truth About Love

This was FULL of bops. God, she’s got a pair of pipes on her. Tons of good songs on here. I have no particular favourite but I would happily listen to this whole album again.

P!nk – Hurts 2b Human

Again taken away by how powerful a singer she is, but at this album I started developing bystander anxiety over the constant relationship issues. She seemed to be in a permanent breakup/fretting about the relationships in the songs and I have no idea if that comes from real life but after a while all that started to kind of bleed into my own brain. I would probably not listen to this one again.
