Hi Em! I haven’t had a lot of eggnog but I have fairly decent memories of it. However I was thinking of picking some up at the store a few weeks back so now I’ll have to give it another shot! Also I would definitely want reputation merch too: I dream of the snake ring and the end game peach hoodie.
For today, fun little game idea: if you had to make a christmas ep with five of your favorite (or most tolerated) holiday songs and five favorite artists to cover them, which songs would you match with which artists? As an example, here’s what I’d do:
1. Last Christmas - Rina Sawayama (she’d absolutely sell this)
2. Sleigh Ride - boygenius (I can’t explain this one but it’d be so sweet)
3. Silent Night - Stevie Nicks (just came to me but I need it now)
4. Rockin Around the Christmas Tree - Beyoncé! (I feel like her riffs would be awesome)
5. All I Want for Christmas is You - Taylor (obviously she is not making a Mariah remake but I think she could put a really warm country spin on this! Imagine the earnestness of Timeless/Emma Falls in Love and the sounds of Debut)
This is a long one but I’d love to see what you come up with. And I hope you had a nice day! — your secret santa, ☃️
hi secret santa bestie!!! I much prefer vegan nog to the real thing also works better in frosting in my opinion and I can add some (vegan) milk to cut it so it's not so thick (I don't do that for frosting just when I drink it) it's a fun time. also saur true endgame peach hoodie u are so so so missed but I think I'd wear the black one more u know? but that's just me ur so valid for the endgame peach hoodie I hope u get it some day!!! also same re snake ring such an iconic piece of merch!!
this is such an interesting game hmmm....
I think that sabrina carpenter would absolutely feast covering all santa tell me so that would be fun!!
I think olivia rodrigo would so such a fun rock version of rockin around the christmas tree but I do agree that beyoncé would Kill rockin around the christmas tree I just think w olivia's rock sound a la all american bitch it would go so hard for her u know???
I think that stephen sanchez could do a pretty rockin little saint nick a la his song shake. that would be fun. or he could do a super croony version of it's beginning to look a lot like christmas and I'd love that also!!!!
idk why I put him at fourth this out of order bc it is in the order I am thinking of them noah kahan should absolutely cover glittery by kacey musgraves he'd kill it so hard.
taylor should cover the jo bro's like it's christmas just to take it from joe but also she'd have such a fun time w it I think and then I could replace that version on my playlist with hers skdjgdkjgh
bonus song even tho it just came out conan gray could feast singing buy me presents by sabrina carpenter or cindy lou who!!!
this was a fun game!!!! and I hope u had a good day and u get some nog soon!!! u can always just get one cup without any other milk at starbucks and make sure u like it before u invest in a pint. my struggle is no one else in my house likes it like I wish I could get two chocolate milk box containers full and not a full pint bc I always have too much left 😭but I also need the nog this time of year 😭 anyways I hope u get some soon!!! sorry I responded to this so late bestie <3

omg do you still have any of your notes or reading refs for your queer musicology class??? that sounds so interesting!!!!!
i thought i had a bunch of the articles downloaded but i guess i did not?? i'm gonna have to rectify that i Must have them
anyway here's a list of topics we covered, not in order because i do not remember the order:
castrati and countertenors (see baroque opera, jakub josef orlinski and how he presents himself in performances)
disco, as well as mainstream reactions to it
camp (but i'm a cheerleader, the music video for aqua's barbie, the medici family and their skeleton float thing?, nina west and the music video for drag is magic, can instrumental music be camp and if so how so?)
ballroom culture (+ scissor sisters, as well as madonna's vogue and her work with the queer community)
queer country (the album lavender country in particular, the idea of authenticity in country music)
hildegard von bingen and eroticism in her compositions about the virgin mary
barbara strozzi, courtesans, and the female voice as sexuality (l'arianna, monteverdi's nymph, i read the word 'secretions' a lot)
diva culture, incl. britney spears and the simultaneous purity and sexuality that's expected of divas - and if they violate that they crash and burn. (i never brought up love me 4 me by rina sawayama in that class but that's highly relevant) beyonce is an apparent exception, she has a lot of control over her own art and image which is probably why. tied this back to madonna as well
see: music video for ...baby one more time (framing of britney spears, putting the whole thing in 'her imagination'), music video for diva by beyonce, vogue again
more diva culture but this time western classical music: lucia di lammermoor and mad scenes, feminine hysteria, coloratura singing, and containing female voices
also: carmen, chromaticism, tenor and soprano vs tenor and mezzo-soprano, soprano vs mezzo-soprano in general, carmen as the Other who needs to be contained
also lady gaga's born this way music video and how it interacts with the very controlled and palatable sexuality of smth like baby one more time. lady gaga and the monster ball tour in general
the elevation of the boy soprano as a particularly special/Holy voice (compared to a woman soprano or a man falsettist, for example)
madrigals and coded language (that one famous madrigal about swans, can't remember the original name atm but it's That One with the mille mort/million deaths), along with homosocial bonds in music (madrigals were normally sung by amateurs in a private setting)
YMCA as gay anthem (see the music video, YMCAs as hookup spots)
jayne county, t rex, glam rock, david bowie and how he used bisexuality in his public image as well as his interactions w jayne county
wendy carlos and how the act of synthesizing sound interacts with what we talked about before with the sexuality of the voice etc
i can't remember if we actually covered this in the class but my final paper was GOING to be on how melancholy affected john dowland's gender presentation, how that was perceived by his contemporaries vs how it's perceived today, and then my prof was like 'that is not an 8-10 page final paper that is a dissertation. let me know if you do want to write a dissertation tho' and then i had to narrow it down to gender perception of in darkness let me dwell and u know what? he was right i did easily fill 8-10 pages just talking about one (not very long) song

dw about rina's album (that tweet isn't actually a line from the song btw it's just because of how annoying she's acting on social media w the egregious use of aave) like it's different from her usual direction of sound but it has a thematic effect sawayama didn't. it's def weaker than her previous album but it is more cohesive in its narrative about generational trauma and healing your inner child
oh thank GOD 😫 bc when i read that i thought they were referring to her songwriting on the new album and i was scared lol. i would've been so disappointed if we lost rina to this mediocrity epidemic that seems to be on the rise. we nearly lost lorde to it (though i like to think she's in remission after solar power, at least i hope so 😔) and losing rina too would've been too much. and yess, i did have a feeling that this album was going to be weaker when i heard this hell and esp when it was picked as the lead single too bc if we're being honest, while i can recognise that it's a fun song, this hell has got nothing on her previous lead singles like XS or Cherry (though i haven't listened to any of the other lead singles that she's released for this album, so i might be looking like a fool rn 😳) but the aave use is so utterly annoying and irritating. i just saw how she's been talking on twitter and it grinds my gears like she's bri'ish!!!! imagine her saying "that's so MOTHA" "this song is peak motha" whilst sounding as white as can be sjdhksdfhgfd like girl SHUT UP!!!!!!! be quiet log out of twitter and just switch off your damn phone!! definitely not surprised tho bc if i remember correctly, she had an issue with her last album as well when she covered the 1975's song with that weird ass tone deaf lyric about police brutality and its like girl....you're way too old to be acting this stupidly and thoughtlessly! like there are absolutely no excuses. anyways, at least its a fun time. and as a pee oh cee i can always appreciate a narrative about generational trauma, so yay!! thank you for the info tho!! 💖 i'll be listening to it soon (you'll know when i reblog the songs teehee)

Hold the girl: Album review
Tumblr media
Hello this is my personal review of Rina Sawayama's new album, Hold the girl! I just wanted to do this for funsies so if you disagree I will not argue as this is just my opinion and I also just wanna see what I can do with my art classes lmao
anyway! I'll be doing a review of the whole album and not reviewing the individual songs!
Listen to Hold the girl here!
first look:
A very surrealistic vibe and not exactly out of line with what I know of Rina's aesthetic. I like the roundness of the dress (?) and the contrast, very eyecatching!
As always there are a few songs with elements of electro/techno pop in these songs which is very different from what I normally listen to so it's interesting to hear it! I first got introduced to techno/electro through an artist I admire and then I listened to the spotify generated playlist hehe
I think Sawayama's music style and sound is very unique and refreshing as I have never heard anything like it before, mixing a lot of good vocals with awesome percussion. Her music also reminds me of the more Asian Pop genre though the themes she explores - motherhood, feminism, queerness, healing, forgiveness - are quite unusual for this genre (not saying it doesn't exist tho) and also hard to adress in this/my community. Nevertheless, Sawayama introduces these topics to her (mainly Western) audience with a lot of grace, but also never treading around it lightly and directly saying what she wants to say instead of vaguely alluding to it. This gives her music a lot of authenticity and also manages to convey a personal yet universal message of what I think is the human condition: loving, getting hurt, healing, dreaming, hoping...
When listening to Sawayama's discography you'll find that this isn't her first time covering these topics as they are also featured on her 2020 album, SAWAYAMA.
In general, the album has a futuristic look and as such is focused on the future, by letting go and maturing and is quite optimistic, but the 11th song, Send my love to John, is nostalgic and full of apologies for the past that hurts. Here her voice works very soothing though the listener also knows who was ultimately at fault, we feel sympathy. Send my love to John shows not the femme fatale side of Sawayama which is very much present in the other songs, but more that of a mother, which is also what the song is about, so she took that role onto herself very well. We know it is not necessarily Sawayama herself in this song but we still feel fully captivated by the story.
All in all, this album is definitely worth the listen and can introduce you nicely to the techno/electro pop music. This album gave Sawayama the chance to showcase and develop her writing, as a storyteller, even more and it sure paid off. In her songs she has fully captured the sound of letting go, healing, forgiving and holding out for someone but also not taking any fucks.
Rating: 8/10

GARY RENNELL —
IG info/bio | @/rennellnotreynolds | 300k followers | currently havin a midlife crisis at thee moment so cheers! 🍻🏋🏼‍♂️🤨
23 (24) years old
Born & raised in Chatham, England there’s no other place like it to him. Sure when he went on holiday to the villa, it was quite nice but nothing ever beats home. He genuinely believes that he’s meant to be in this place since it’s all he’s ever known & doesn’t think he’ll live anywhere else
Raised by his nan & is an only child. Was at risk of being placed in foster care until his paternal nan came forth to raise him
His father and nan did not have the best relationship due to the way he chose to live his life and Gary was kept away from his nan until he was about 10 years of age
Does not like to talk about his birth parents due to the trauma, which is why he feels like his nan is his everything. His savior and why she means so much to him
His nan once told him that he favors his mother, Gail. He never had the chance to really know her, but was aware that she was very unhappy with herself &, “chose to be with the stars” just before his 5th birthday
That’s one of the reasons why he finds himself always looking up at the stars, usually when he’s drunk out at the docks by himself, he’ll try to talk to his mom, to know her better
I feel like he’s either a cancer or a Libra?
Update: Cancer sun + libra moon + Taurus rising
Went to uni for a semester and thought about architecture as a profession but ultimately felt like uni was NOT for him and eventually juggled around with jobs until he landed into the crane operator field which he found himself to be great at
For as long as he and his nan can remember, he always loved playing with cars, ships, building Legos, (I’m American idk if this is a thing there too or it’s something different/similar so my apologies lol) and putting things together. He never cared for reading instructions, Gary’s a hands on type of guy/learner and it’s how he best communicates
He likes heights, so this job wasn’t an issue it was just getting through the program for 2-3 years that was a pain in his ass but he was determined + knew this was what he was good at and stuck with it.
It was tiring working 40 sometimes over 40 hrs a week but he’s passionate about his work so he’d never dare change it
Due to this job being a lot physically, he would use muscle cream to help his pain or pay to see a masseuse whenever he could or wasn’t being cheap about it + often buys epsom salt to bathe in 3 or so times a week 
Total penny pincher! I can see him being so, his dad told him all about how to hold onto what he’s got and always look for a bargain but with a gambler for a father, you can only imagine how that worked in his favor
Lives with his nan and doesn’t see an issue with it. His mates definitely tease him about it but know how much the woman means to him but still think it’s a major c*ck block for him but it’s a two for one package deal and anyone who doesn’t understand that doesn’t deserve him
Will probably still live in her house once IF she p*sses
Nan is a big fan of wallpaper and has one room in the flat that has squeaky plastic covering most of her furniture ( she loves furniture shopping) & only takes it off once her lady friends come over with consists of a huge cleaning routine which Gary secretly hates but pushes through it while she plays some old tunes on her jukebox
He finds himself singing those exact songs when he’s getting ready for work and actually enjoys them...but don’t ever tell his mates that!
His nan taught him basic household care & he finds himself scolding his mates for not knowing how to wash their underwear & always taking it to their mum’s or having their girlfriends do it for them
Loves washing clothes on a Sunday in the backyard + hanging them on the clothes line. His nan doesn’t believe in washer machines & makes her own detergent
He’s always down for a rooftop hangout, whether drunk or not. To be up almost as high as the stars is such a feeling or hang out with his mates laughing it up
Occasionally smokes cigarettes when he’s really stressed, he’s not proud of the nasty habit and tries his hardest to hide it from his nan & Lottie but they both know
Is in a on and off again relationship with Lottie. She’s met his nan, they both like each other. And that makes Gary extremely happy
Gary is the laid back one out of the two and Lottie is firey and needs constant reminding from Gary that he wants to be with her whereas Gary feels like that’s something she should already know and he’s told her a couple of times before, he’s sure of it. He doesn’t get why she doesn’t get that
Which results in arguments. Lottie chose to live in England for half of the year and goes back to Australia for the other half. Nan encouraged Lottie to live with the two of them until she decided to get her own place in England, or rather the two of them together. Nan doesn’t believe Gary will leave in fear of her being lonely, which she’s not! By all means, nan keeps busy! But Lottie desperately wants to have her own space with Gary away from nan, even tho she adores the spunky lady.
When they don’t see eye to eye she does what she does best and leaves, which is exhausting to Gary
They’ll go days without speaking until the other cracks. At first it would be Gary but since it’s been a year into their relationship, he’s gotten used to it and let’s her come back to him when she’s ready
He cares for Lottie, he really does. And wants this to work but he just wishes they could be more secure in their relationship.
Was a f*ckboy way back when from 18-20 and rarely there’s his old flings who show up just to cause drama knowing that Gary’s got a new girl in his life that LIVES with him, which Gary dreads that this small town knows his business. He hates confrontation but there’s one thing about Lottie, she’s never going to bite her tongue. So whenever those girls do try it with not only her but Gary she goes off.
Gary is protective too so when those messy girls start shit at the pub, he’s instantly trying to get Lottie away from the issue. Then there’s drinks flying and slap fights happening + hair pulling & they’re getting kicked out of the club/pub or even cops called on them.
“This blows. I thought you said you were trying to be better than this, Lottie.” “Me? What about those slags?! They attack not only me but your character too!” Which adds to a list of the reasons they fight.
Nonetheless they do have their fun moments together, getting drunk by the docks, getting random tattoos, hanging with his friends & their significant others, + going to the theatre
Lottie still thinks this town is very slow-pace, sleepy, cloudy and hardly has sun— which is okay to her some days but other day’s it can be dreadful and much different from her fast-pace life but she finds the little things like spending time with Gary to encourage her to stay
Gary likes playing games when he has his free time, like fortnite, red dead redemption, Final fantasy, & SUPER SMASH BROS & almost always plays with Ibrahim who informs him about new games which makes Lottie want to slam her head against the wall since that can take hours
Keeps in touch with all of the boys in villa and makes sure they have zoom meetings as much as they can because he cares about those boys. Noah tries to schedule them but usually it’s happens at random which annoys him but he gets over it. Gary spent month(s) with them. They’re basically his extended family & that’s saying a lot since he views his home to a high standard and has friends here but they’re nothing like his villa brother’s
Also into woodwork. He didn’t think he’d enjoy it but he likes to do it more when the weather gets crisp and he battles with that over cigarettes to ease his worries in life, then goes and have his daily dose of tea
Finally stopped dying his hair that awful yellow and stuck with it. Marisol was the first to see it, after an accidental FaceTime call which was supposed to be just a regular phone call but whatever? They’d all eventually see it if he EVER decided to post to his IG stories!
She compliments him in Spanish yanking her glasses off leaving him highly confused, “is that good?” “If Lottie doesn’t sit on your— which leaves Gary very wide eyed opposed to his raised brows but Marisol is cut off by Graham clearing his throat
Lottie does indeed like it & shows him how much and later asks his option on what color she should dye her hair next. 3 out of the 13 look the exact same to Gary. But he helps her dye her hair which comes out patchy but there’s no way in hell she’s letting anyone else touch her hair. She’s been doing this all on her own for some time now. Gary’s lucky she even allowed him to help her! So she dyes it back to blonde, all of it, and waits a few weeks to dye it all blue
Gary’s definitely into old boy bands especially LFO & serenades, “girl on tv” to Lottie all the time, likes 98 degrees, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Boys II men, & Dru Hill
As for modern day music, he LOVES to work out to tame impala which never makes sense to his mates but he usually works out the next day after getting shit-faced, he’s also in love with lizzo’s music, laundry day, brockhampton, & rina sawayama
Anthem = mac demarco, “Salad Days”
Celeb crush? Julia Roberts, Salma Hayek, Anne-Marie, Leona Lewis, & Noah Cyrus

in agreement with your sentiment towards rina's heartfelt ballads *cough* chosen family *cough*. I appreciate the message and the lyrics, sure, but not everyone is equipped for the delivery or writing of such. it's very easy to make balladry campy & laughable in execution.
her dance music has me by the metaphorical balls tho, Alterlife and 10-20-40 off RINA still throttle me like a boss to an underleveled RPG character with a masochistic streak.
rina's eye for aesthetic is immaculate and her songs productions are fantastic it's just that she's not a particularly talented lyricist. all of her song lyrics tend to be extremely on the nose in ways that work most of the time when you're doing campy dance pop but a ballad is a very specific art form that requires more skill. she has the voice for it! her delivery rn isn't the best but she could work on it! i would like to see an excellent stylish ballad from her!
one of my fave rina songs is the heartfelt ballad adjacent track cherry that has extremely shallow kind of clunky lyrics but it's so earnest about gay experience that it works 90% of the time. but even tho it has a ballad chorus (which is what i love about it tbh in korean i'm a sucker for ballads) it has that polished pop production and verses that cover the gaps. "with your girl gaze" is. not a pretty phrase. flicker also rides that line a little bit and has v obvious lyrics but i still like the song a lot.
her dance music tho..... XS was perfect and needed commes des garcons was a v simple girl power song but it was fuckin GREAT (i needed key on a remix but he was in the military :')) i much prefer rina to sawayama its a fantastic album like i had take me as i am and 10-20-40 and alterlife on REPEAT she's absolutely perfect at that y2k pop sound she's SO GOOD at britney vibes christina vibes it's incredible.
it's a case where the american belief that all singers should write their own songs just makes the overall quality of the work drop, if she had a capable lyricist to collaborate with a lot of the problems would be solved.

STRAY KIDS REACTION — when their s/o is afraid of thunder and lightning
LISTEN TO — akasaka sad by rina sawayama
Tumblr media
BANG CHAN
he finds you cuddled up under your blankets, shivering a little every time a crack of thunder rattles the house or a flash of lighting lights up your window
smiling, he snuggles under the covers with you
and hugs you until you forget about the storm
“don’t worry, y/n, i’m here to protect you”
MINHO
such a meanie
purposely tries to scare you
coming up behind you and shaking you at the same time lighting lights up the room
he thinks your surprised screams are so adorable and funny
but he would stop the second he noticed tears in your eyes or any real fear on your face
“you’re really scared, aren’t you? y/n, poor baby, i’m sorry”
CHANGBIN
right there with you bubs
he might try to act all tough but on the inside storms make him a little jumpy too
so you would just huddle up on the couch together with cookies and lots of blankets
watching a movie and moving a little closer together with every rumble of thunder
“pshh, i got this. no need to be scared when you got me to take care of you”
“binnie, you’re shaking”
HYUNJIN
low key loves this because you get so much clingier when you’re afraid
normally he’s the one wrapping his arms around you
or begging for hugs
but this time it’s you grabbing his hand every time the storm outside makes a sound
and he’s 100% here for it
“aww, you just can’t resist me, can you chubs?”
JISUNG
probably just as scared as you
but seeing you so terrified makes him feel more brave
like instead of focusing on the lightning outside he can put all of his energy into comforting you
gives you the biggest bear hug and rocks you side to side
makes hot cocoa for the both of you and wraps you up in a million blankets
“here, be careful, this mug is hot and i don’t want you to hurt yourself if you get scared again”
FELIX
so caring and sweet about it
he hates seeing you scared or upset
if a single tear falls he might just have to quit his day job and spend all of his time kissing your face
big big spoon energy
he would sit you on his lap and play with your hair until you fall asleep
“shh, just close your eyes and everything you’re afraid of will be gone when you wake up”
SEUNGMIN
might clown you about it a little
“seriously, y/n, it’s just a little rain”
but when he notices that you’re actually really scared then he goes right into protective bf mode
scented candles? lit
his arms? right around you
sings softly to you to try to drown out some of the thunder
JEONGIN
lays in bed with you so you can share earbuds and listen to asmr videos
he’d try to distract any way that he could
playing loud music
watching youtube videos
maybe you make your own mukbang with a bunch of snacks you found in the kitchen
and pretty soon you’re laughing so hard you forget about the thunder outside
“stop laughing at me, y/n, i’m never going to become a serious asmrtist if you can’t hold the camera still smh”
(you can’t take him seriously when he pouts at you tho, he’s so cute)
