still weeding out my following list

My favourite genre of Mountain Goats lyric is the kind where the animal metaphor snuck in when he wasn’t looking and he’s a little mad about it

人总是要死的，但死的意义有不同。...为人民利益而死，就比泰山还重；替法西斯卖力，替剥削人民和压迫人民的人去死，就比鸿毛还轻。

I just read Tomorrow You Don't Know Me and I really loved it. I think it particularly captured the anger and loneliness of being a preteen/teenager - you're old enough to understand that things are bad but you don't have the agency to make things better. Your parents and your school have all the authority. You're just... stuck. And maybe you lash out or melt down and say or do things that aren't reasonable but it's like... you're so stuck. My parents were fairly alright but I had a lot of friends with shitty parents stuck in shitty situations and it's like... what are you meant to do?

the contrabass saxophone is such an absurd instrument

Have ya’ll seen the double contrabass flute before???

Know what’s even better?

my counter:

String players are not limited to just those.

Subcontrabass C ocarina
