New CTB Music (2023 Update)

It's that time of year where I get to tell you all about some choice songs for CTB that I found (check the 2021 and 2022 posts).

Just like last time, I'll keep this to music that hasn't come up yet on this blog.

Letter to an Old Poet - boygenius

You're not special, you're evil You don't get to tell me to calm down You made me feel like an equal But I'm better than you And you should know that by now

Miner’s Canary - Vanessa Carlton

A sentinel so sensitive You have to lose me just to feel the state you're in You're bound to darkness A miner's canary

Eat Your Young - Hozier

Come and get some Skinnin' the children for a war drum Puttin' food on the table sellin' bombs and guns It's quicker and easier to eat your young

Without Love - LMYK

And I kept holding on to the power and lost My freedom I guess I had to learn, there is no freedom Without love

Motion Sickness - Phoebe Bridgers

I hate you for what you did And I miss you like a little kid

July - Noah Cyrus

So tell me to leave I'll pack my bags, get on the road Find someone that loves you Better than I do, darling, I know 'Cause you remind me every day I'm not enough, but I still stay

Strangers - Ethel Cain

I tried to be good, am I no good? Am I no good? Am I no good? With my memory restricted to a Polaroid in evidence I just wanted to be yours, can I be yours? Can I be yours? Just tell me I'm yours If I'm turning in your stomach and I'm making you feel sick

Family Tree (Intro) - Ethel Cain

Jesus can always reject his father But he cannot escape his mother's blood He'll scream and try to wash it off of his fingers But he'll never escape what he's made up of

Just One Yesterday - Fallout Boy

If heaven's grief brings hell's rain Then I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way Still I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday

How Can I Make It Okay? - Wolf Alice

How can I make it okay? I just want you to be happy [...] Nothing else is as important as that to me

#physically restraining myself from adding sun bleached flies by ethel cain #and also brutal by olivia rodrigo #<- listen i can picture a hilarious sequence of link's early army troubles set to teen pop music #and sun bleached flies is the easy answer from that album #does 'god loves you but not enough to save you' fit warriors?? of course it does!!! it fits every good blorbo #i'm already being basic af by including hozier but i think i can deserve a little treat <3 #vote now if brutal or sbf should be added to this list lmao #lu ctb #ctb music #linked universe #me rambling

happy birthday to ME specifically

#treating myself. see u was supposed to be part of my present but despite my vigilance in following official accs & searching in 3 languages #i havent found the new croud funding. so im assuming it got delayed more #but i AM getting haru & the amavel fox outfit & dopam!ne album and also art & the song thats getting closer & closer to being done #oh & new headphones forgot i got new headphones specifically since i want to keep dtming #also working on the girlies fic bc i love women #we do group signed cards at work & 2 people signed mine with 'happy bday bitch' & qc left a cute little note so im :pien emoji:

[eeunwoo]

I need some reassurance do you think it would be reckless as a poor person to spend some of the loan money i get for school to spend on myself for non-school purposes next week

#like not transport or food I mean a treat or an album or smth stupid and capitalistic and materialistic while I’m there #I know classic poverty trauma symptom is like being unable to spend anything w/o guilt anyway but I feel like I’m bringing forth armageddon #by even THINKING about doing something for myself idk #mrow.org

[lesamis]

Oh this isn't on the ask list, but do you now have more records?

i do! not to worry, anon, knowing about the record player has given just about everyone in my life a new go-to gift idea for all occasions. tracy chapman is now in good company :')

#the collection is a bit weird bc it's like. springsteen. random german folk sampler. dio. baez in concert 6 times. every mcr album #bc i just have whatever was cheapest at the store or whatever friends v v kindly treated me to #(all the new ones are from friends. love records so much but i will not spend 30€ on one for myself) #(DID YOU KNOW they rereleased holy diver on vinyl in 2021. twenty twenty one. i did Not until it showed up on my doorstep in new cellophane #(what's up w dad metal enjoyers how is there a market for this. who are the people showing up for this. in 2021. what) #asks #anon

[mytardisisparked]

I got tickets to FOB. If anyone ruins this for me before next April I will explode.

#I'm so jazzed I never go to concerts #no one ever really comes all that close to where I live #so this is a rare treat #I also have never really loved a band so consistently before #FOB has been my music of choice since I was a senior in high school and we're still goin strong #And this last album of theirs really hit me at the right time of my life #My lifelong dream died #I was spirilling #I was picking up the pieces of myself that I lost #and this album reminded me that the pain is worth it anyway #that I should keep dancing #that I should keep feeling #i'm not saying that this album saved my life #or that i wouldn't be who I am without it #but it definitely helped #And so this concert is gonna be amazing #also my bff is going with me and so it's gonna be so memorable

i may or may not have just spent too much money on arctic monkeys albums under the guise of self care (again)

#i work next to a record shop and i have this little tradition where if i’ve had a rough day i’ll go in and treat myself to an album #only rn i’m so unwell that i haven’t been out of my flat properly in weeks #let alone as far as work or the record shop #so hmv’s online shop had to do #because i’m in need of some comfort music purchases #and for some reason my brain went ‘if you’re ordering online it’s cheaper’ so i wound up with three instead of one #so as of tomorrow i will be the proud owner of fwn and who the f*** are arctic monkeys and also the teddy picker single #why am i like this #i suppose i should at least be grateful i can’t afford a record player because cds are mercifully less expensive than lps #my bank account would probably disown me if i ever do get a record player and start getting lps #anyway #i’m rambling to no one #too much time being stuck inside appears to have made me even more prone to rambling in the tags than usual #which is saying something #i’ll see myself out and go and drink tea and listen to my pre-existing am albums #lulu posts

[torosdottir]

think i might allow myself to listen to a little bit of my chemical romance today. as a treat 😊

#i ration them lately because im soooo scared of overplaying and somehow ruining the magic #i do an album maybe two or three times a week. which trust me is a ration it feels like nothing #parade especially is for very very special occasions but i think today i might treat myself 2 the b sides:3

[mermaidinthecity]

You don't, you don't know me, hey. What's my, what's my name? Baby, you don't, you don't know me. So tell me, what's my, what's my name? Ah eh. Tell me again how much you love me. But you don't, you don't, you don't even know me, yeah. Tell me again, tell me again. All the smoke you're blowing, smoke you're blowing. How I won't let you close enough to hold me 'cause you don't, say, eh. You don't, you don't know me. Baby, you don't, you don't know me. You don't, you don't know me, know me, oh mmm. You don't, you don't know me. You don't, you don't know me, yeah. You don't, you don't know me. So baby, you don't, you don't know me, mmm.

i’m going to a big arts n crafts fair today but i’m feeling sooo low i’m dreading everything

#excited to see some arts and some crafts 😔 but not excited to leave my home or get dressed or talk to people 😔 #it’s in a nice neighborhood with a great view so maybe that will fix me #maybe i’ll also get myself a little coffee as a treat #actively [redacted] listening to an album about [redcated] we love [redacted] #sorry:/

[psychoticwillgraham]

*gets good money from the show*

*immediately spends half of it on ‘useless’ things*

#finding bullets was the highlight of my day #I’m pretty sure I have every major mcr studio album now #to me they’re not useless but that’s what mom calls all of my purchases #that are not related to drag #but the guy who organized all this told me to use half of it #on stuff to treat myself for a show stopping performance #and save the other half for drag clothes #he told me that I deserved to spoil myself especially after how massive of #a moment this was in my career #so suck it mom

[reikurusu]

Do I dislike how Taylor releases new versions of the same album with exclusive songs and extras and different coloured versions of the same vinyl? Absolutely!

Do I still buy them because I can and have fomo about it and want the serotonin of buying something nice and pretty for myself? Also, absolutely!

Am I part of the problem? ... I absolutely am, don't look at me.

#Shut up Char #I hate how I keep doing this but I also can't stop #I regretted it for Midnights because that album is a bit eh to me #For 1989 TV I didn't mind too much because pretty colours 🤩 and it's just a good album #For TTPD: I just absolutely love the aesthetic of these cds/vinyls!! #So I keep preordering things gdi #I've spent so much money on this... It's a problem #But then I justify it to myself like: #“You work hard all week!” “You don't really go out that much so you can afford this instead!” #And just a general Treat Yoself mentality #No but it's a problem someone take my bankcard from me!

[mmmmuffins]

pls PLS say it with me. i don’t need to buy another version of an album if i already bought one.

#buying albums are my #little treat #with my leftover $25 at th end of the month i treat myself to One #THE RESTRAINT IS SO THIN RN

1-5, 14, 21 for the year end asks :3

hi, thank you so much for asking, really!! and apologizes in advance for such long answers, as you can see, i'm just being “a bit” indecisive, hopefully I won't bore you too much with it!

1. Song of the year?

(for real, why such a seemingly simple question turned out to be the most difficult one. it's impossible to choose just one!)

czxcohjkhv okay, the first to come to mind is "Stargazer" by Rainbow, so gonna go with it. the drum intro, the sheer onomatopoeia that Ronnie's vocal approach always is, the astonishing guitar solo that practically spoilers the plot by being so evocative as well, the fucking intensity that this song is overflowing with??? I can never be normal about it, just can't. about their “Catch the Rainbow” (live 1977 Munich version specifically) neither. most ethereal ballad ever (and nope, Blackmore's solos don't even ruin the “balladiness” of it, just add to the vibe).

out of Black Sabbath's songs, i'm very much torn between Children of the Sea, Die Young, The Sign of the Southern Cross, After All (The Dead), Time Machine, Sins of the Father. and out of Dio's own stuff — Like the Beat of a Heart, My Eyes, Evil on Queen Street, Evilution, As Long As It's Not About Love, Shame on the Night. hhhng they're all too good, how am I supposed to choose anything, even one per band.

when it comes to music that doesn't have anything to do with RJD (yeah, I have been listening to it this year. sometimes), I still can't get enough of Queensrÿche's “Take Hold of the Flame” (especially live in Tokyo 1984). *in loud whisper* but also “The Story of One Sky” by Dimash, “Until It Sleeps” by Metallica (whoops accidentally became obsessed with it years after first hearing it), “Incense and Myrrh” by Arch/Matheos, and “Between Two Worlds” by Uriah Heep. (can you tell how tricky it is to choose just one..?) and out of this actual year's releases (but tbh I haven't really been keeping up) most memorable was Liliac's “Carousel” or Metallica's “Screaming Suicide”.

and the most satisfying one to play on guitar is definitely “the Last in Line”, it's a literal dopamine feast for my brain for some reason.

2. Album of the year?

have admittedly been listening more to live performances than to studio recordings this year so it'd be easier to just list specific concerts but gonna try pick a latter one after all. actually I think the album i've most often listened to from start to finish is “Lock up the Wolves”, it just flows very nicely in its entirety. the second place would likely be the masterpiece that is “Heaven and Hell”. as for the album that's made me spin it in my head most intensely it's “Magica” bc it's a concept one but in the least straightforward manner possible.

3. Favorite musical artist / group you started listening to this year?

my most prominent discovery of the year was probably Fates Warning (and their more modern incarnation Arch/Matheos), I believe. or Jethro Tull (and nope, I legit haven't even heard about them until recently, what of it).

but there's also a musician who's basically defined this year for me and whose voice i've been listening to almost daily (and who probably needs no introduction at this point). I have by no means only started listening to him this year though (c'mon, Blind Guardian cover of “Don't Talk to Strangers” was literally one of the very first songs to get me into metal in the first place; and my most favorite Sabbath song, back when I didn't give a damn about different lineups and was just vibing to the songs I liked most regardless of their albums, was from the Dio era). the difference is that only last December I first heard a live recording of his voice and was overwhelmed by the unparalleled level of intensity in it. bc ultimately his magic is so much more than just his voice, it's the laser-pointed intention behind every single word and the multi-layered thought-provoking lyrics and the everything hiding between the lines and the neverending love and generosity. it's not even sth easily convertible into words so i'd probably better stop being insufferable about him right here and now but the point is that Ronnie has had such a huge impact on my life that goes beyond anything that I ever thought any musician or even just anyone who i've never technically gotten to meet would be capable of having. but this impact has in fact helped heal sth very deep down so just... yeah.

4. Movie of the year?

i'll probably go with “predestination” (2014). there's just sth very intricate in all the levels of meaning in that movie, and especially in the way the main character is queer and their queerness is used of all things as a metaphor for quite a lot of interesting stuff. ngl I do have some issues with this movie but honestly considering that the short story it's based on was written in the fucking 50s and was still focusing on it is impressive already despite its flaws (also I love how the movie extrapolated and expanded on the original premise).

the most rewatched movie this year though would definitely be the “dreamers never die” documentary, no contest here (not crying at the very end of it is a challenge I always fail tbh).

oh and a honorable mention to “Nimona”, really loved that one.

5. TV show of the year?

realized only now that I haven't really watched lots of tv shows this year, huh. I think the only thing I did watch was the second season of “shadow and bone” and that's it, even though there's lots of other stuff i've been meaning to catch up with.

14. Favorite book you read this year?

answered there!

21. What’s something new about your place of residence (room, home, or general location) now vs the start of the year?

hmm i've got a new pin board, does it count?? it's bigger than my old one (and made from a different material, which turned out to be better) but i'm somehow already running out of space on it XD it was nice though to rearrange everything on it in a more systematic way rather than just slapping new bits of paper onto whenever I found a free spot (and to add Silvy's gifts there💜).

another new (like. literally last week new) thing is actually on my computer but it's sth i've been wishing for for literal years so it gets a mention anyway and it's an amp simulator. bc to be able to just plug my guitar in and build up the sound I want from scratch (well, not necessarily, there are tons of presets, it's just a very rare one that sounds well enough with solos imho) and have so much control over it, even over how much distortion I get depending on how hard I hit the strings? it's divine, i'm telling you. took me a while to figure out what exactly I need but damn, it's just so freaking awesome

#Liam whispers into the void #the void whispers back to Liam #not fandom #ask games #long post #again thank you for asking! and sorry again if i went overboard. which uh i'm afraid i really might've #in my defense unlike the most people i know you actually have a high chance of recognizing some of the songs and albums i mentioned here #not to mention that you're literally that only person i've ever talked to who also loves dio so my self-restraint might've slipped a bit #so yeah feel 1000% to just ignore me and my verbosity XD #really hoping the holiday season treats you nice and isn't too stressful!💜 #also re: what you said about time management strategies in your answer — i'm totally making a mental note to myself to check those out >.> #bc yeah didn't knw either

[sammyloomis]

i know its better for the environment, but new albums being released in those cardboard sleeves instead of jewel cases is one of my pet peeves

#ash.txt #i got the new gorillaz album as a treat for myself and its one of them damn paper ones #i think the last few albums of theirs have been paper too #maybe its cause theyre their own label now idk #but man :[ they feel so flimsy and prone to deteriorating #and so hard to store without damaging them #tbf i dont buy albums that often but still
