cloudbusting

not him returning after weeks just to get immediately whacked again the idea that she didn't take the time to listen through it to check something like that is even messier - if you know you have transitions, wouldn't you make sure they're smooth? if little indie nobodies like Magdalena Bay can make sure theirs work without being abrupt, there's no excuse imo

straight with a Nicole Richie avi?

no I'm truly going to be serving

may the spirit of Herman Cain guide him

entering her indie flop era

while they're fantastic songs, I don't really think they would've performed much better - BTINH was probably the closest to the adult contemporary pop that was still doing well at the time even with the explosion of more electronic sounds (stuff like Bruno Mars, Adele, P!nk, etc) looking at the list of top 10s for that year, End of Time and Countdown just stick out like crazy in comparison. it's helped them age well in the long run imo, but that just wasn't something the public was vibing with at the time.

its CC for both I fear 4 wasn't mismanaged - she went out and promoted as much as she could before her pregnancy got too far along. she was just releasing against the trends of the day and the public didn't latch on as strongly CC had an ongoing country resurgence, big superbowl announcement, multiple top 10s upon release, and she responded by… botching the initial physical release, pulling the plug on Texas early, waiting for the IIMW hype to die before actually sending it to radio, and continuing the BS with the visuals this era had almost everything perfectly aligned to be a blockbuster album, and it's like she and her team actively decided to ignore it

yeah, more Cécred posts in her instagram story

so many great choices here have to echo the Breakdown stans - that gorgeous production and devastating lyricism are just incredible Underneath the Stars and Giving Me Life round out the podium for me

it's a better film and soundtrack than The Bodyguard (overall at least - I Have Nothing stomps on it in a song to song matchup), but ASIB is leading the pack imo all three solid tho

1. provided a lot of much needed laughter 2. it ends 3. gave me an unironic reason to say Tinashe outsold

"he's gonna win 270 to 268 😂😂😂"

their social media is top-notch tbh I also really like the music too - just need them to have more songs eventually

iconic again, but also not a bad drop considering the Zach Bryan album bomb we're holding fairly steady

The next presidential election if we have one obviously not the only important election but typically seen as The Big One for the average person and wbk the "we care for the people" schtick is largely just a talking point, but it's still so crazy to see this all just lumbering along

Irene being anger is sending me the foreshadowing

It's so disheartening to see how everything's just being handed over on a silver platter Almost like they want to set up some sort of stupid ass savior narrative for 2028 without caring for how many people will suffer through the term + the long lasting impacts of court appointments, dismantling/neutering federal agencies, environmental damage, etc not that some of that hasn't happened under dems anyway but like, definitely not to the extent and speed a second Trump administration would push

this man is on death's door

if we get the live album I'll take back every drag since the tour ended

this is like Katy dropping the Woman's World EP last night - maybe enough to keep from peaking on the bubbling under, but nowhere near enough to get her to the top thats where we are at this point

the fact that Bidet is going to lose to Dumb and Dumber

the way it truly has gone from worse to worser since the debate

these spineless losers

seeing professional publications (rightfully) keep their foot on Katy's neck for running to Luke is more proof that RATchy needs to get fired immediately he should've been gone a decade ago but there's still time to do the right thing

the cut of that blazer is weird, the textile choices are wrong and uncharacteristically cheap looking, and the whole thing looks paradoxically bulky despite being sheer (and not in a stylishly oversized way either) I've defended plenty of her unconventional ensembles in the past (including the latex Met gala look most people hate), but this is a boot for me
