i gotta be honest guys, the more i think about it, the more concerned i am about new Muse album. (warning: incoming music/Muse rant)
2022 is a shit year for sure but it's also the year when my top 4 favourite bands - Muse, White Lies, The Wombats, Editors - have released/are releasing new albums.
The Wombats' "Fix Yourself, Not the World", released in January, did not disappoint, as it's a really solid record (my faves: "If You Ever Leave, I'm Coming With You", "Method to the Madness", "Worry", "Wildfire").
White Lies' "As I Try Not to Fall Apart", released a month later, gotta be one of their best albums to date (my faves: "Am I Really Going to Die", "Step Outside", "I Don't Want to Go to Mars", "The End").
Editors are releasing their new record ("EBM") in September but i really love both of the singles that have been released so far (especially "Karma Climb", though i really enjoy "Heart Attack" as well). if the rest of the album is on par with these singles, i'll like it for sure.
and what about Muse, my very favourite band, my numero uno for past 13 years? i'm like one of the 5 people out here who loved "Compliance". "Won't stand down" is good, though not a song i listen to often (especially comparing to the singles released by the bands mentioned earlier). i'm literally ALLERGIC to "Will of the people", even though i enjoyed it at first. "Kill or be killed" sounds amazing, i admit, i won't be surprised if that's the best song on the record. but like.... idk, i wish i was more excited? i've literally just realized that we're getting new album in about a month while i was writing this post. i see songs titles like "We Are Fucking Fucked" or "You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween" and i'm expecting cringe. don't get me wrong, i want this album to succeed (OBVIOUSLY), i want to like it and i'm aware that quite often Muse don't release their best songs as singles (uhm "Blockades", anyone ?? although we got "The Dark Side" at least). i just feel like, not only i'm expecting a lot from them (they're still my favourite band after all) but also, White Lies and The Wombats with their albums and Editors with their singles set the bar so high, i'm afraid i won't be able to enjoy new Muse content as much as i wish to. and that just makes me sad

Song of the Day: December 6
"Your Body Is A Weapon" by the Wombats
#song of the day#'someone protect me from the one I love' looping in my head#this is another fun song to sing. who comes up with lines like 'my body is a temple of doom / doomed not to be / by your side'#I have to admit also for all that some of my favorite people are very guitar people I do not have an ear for it#so the Wombats like Greta Van Fleet and a couple others sound like older bands to me. very very surprised to find this song is from 2015#I mentioned the other day that I usually have an origin story for most of the songs I know because mostly I get them from specific places#recommendations and curated playlists and such#and partially that really helps my memory for songs! they all come with strong associations! self-creating mnemonics!#but also it really skews my perception of when songs are from and how popular they are#the other day I played a song for Nick that I thought he'd like#and I did tell him that I thought it was probably a cover because a lot of the other songs on the playlist were#and he looked at me like I was truly stupid and he said 'it's definitely a cover. because that is a Taylor Swift song'#and I was genuinely just like neat! good to know!#I did listen to the original and I do think I like the cover better but my taste is so specific and scattered that it means nothing#I also apparently heard Sleep Token's new album right as it came out in a way that impressed Nick by like#how cutting-edge my metal knowledge was I guess. hipster-style immediate knowledge of the new release. before it was cool etc#and I had to be like nah bro it was a fic title I googled I get no credit for this. also I didn't know the band existed before this album#there's no way I was looking for the new release. the song the album and the band all just came into being before me simultaneously#this ramble is really long now and I feel like y'all get the point#the Wombats are cool though

i don’t care if they become the most popular band in the world, the wombats are severely underrated

Of course the new Wombats tune slaps hard. I made this after I went to one of their concerts this year and I wish for them to come back soon ;w;

["So I'm moving to New York, 'cause I've got problems with my sleep”]
I just interpreted this as moving because the time zones are different. according to genius the reasoning is more complex, but the problem is literal. so yeah, problems with one's sleep party :) (on theme cause I slept in today and missed like two things).
