so it goes

Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner/Jaun beaur

my personal list:

adeem the artist (especially the new album, white trash revelry)

paisley fields (stay away from my man is a good old fashioned honky tonk jam about gay on gay violence)

jake blount (the new faith is an afrofuturist album using roots music to explore life after climate collapse, HIGHLY recommend)

sarah shook & the disarmers (especially the album sidelong, ESPECIALLY the songs fuck up & dwight yoakam)

lavender country (everything but especially cryin' these cocksucking tears. patrick haggerty sadly passed in 2022 and we lost a real one. he self-described as a screaming marxist bitch)

flamy grant (okay so. bible belt baby is Technically a christian album that i was tricked into listening to. but listen. what did you drag me into is an instant classic)

mercy bell (especially who said we were friends. i can't hear the lyric "mea culpa/here's a gulpa/my drink in your face" and NOT recommend it)

amythyst kiah (if you haven't heard black myself by now what even are you doing. go listen to it)

do you want to speedrun a depressive episode as a queer woman who fears you may have too much in common with your father? listen to i drink by mary gauthier now

karen & the sorrows (there is a lot to recommend karen pittelman and the work she has done for queer country artists but i'm a useless lesbian so i'm submitting for consideration a photo of the red dress from the mv for guaranteed broken heart that i think about a normal amount:

i hate hate hate feeling so overwhelmed i hate feeling like I’m going crazy just bc of sound ;-; i even have my fan on to dilute it but it isn’t working ;A;

Upstairs neighbors were away on vacation this past week so maybe I’m just overly sensitive going from peace and quiet to loud ass noises :(
