oooh thank you! let me think

1) pancakes... i like them simple usually but blueberry pancakes and m&m pancakes are both fun. imo the god tier of gaudy pancakes is the strawberry cheesecake ones at ihop (which sadly i haven’t had for years since eating them the day after a b*d tr*p and entering a week-long nausea hell)

2) dry cereal eaten only in handfuls

3) scrambled eggs with pepper OR over-easy with kind of a runny yolk with whole wheat toast

4) sesame seed bagel with plain schmear

Thanks Natasha 😊

1.) What is your favorite album opening track!?

ooo very tough, maybe Lust For Life by Iggy Pop (whatever, I mean the guy's dead anyway). There may be openers the are as good but I can't think of any that are better.

2.) What is your favorite album closing track!?

I Lost My Innocence by Ezra Furman (my beloved)

6.) A band you’d want to see live!

Already answered :)

9.) Favorite segue on an album?

You know I had to google segue because I always forget what that word is even though I know it 'by ear'...

Anyway apologies to the haters but I'm going to invoke The Beatles and specifically. Sgt. Pepper's, the seg-waay from the opening track to Little Help For My Friends is just really wonderful the way all noise just folds away and the space opens up around Ringo for him to sing his song. Very simple but incredibly affecting.

11.) Have you ever been to any concerts?

Natasha I know for a fact we were at the same Mistki Concert in 2018(?) but we never managed to say hello :( it was a wonderful gig though and I was only thinking about her performance of Two Slow Dancers the other day.

oh no, why do you hate gbh?? (and those are my faves for those directors too, btw!!)

I just feel like gbh is the tipping point in his filmography where it becomes style over substance (in a negative way). I’ve also been more into the ‘complicated relationship with your dad’ aspect of WA than the sub-Demy visual candy floss stuff. Fluff at the expense of any real emotional resonance. I just couldn’t bring myself to care about any of those characters and I feel like it’s not visually interesting enough to compensate for the shallow characterisations. I also just found it boring tbh

Ah thanks Natasha :)

63. five songs that would play in your club?

Okay I could spend weeks thinking about this so just stuff I wanna hear on a big sound system / with people

- Disco Devil - Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry - Love Hangover - Diana Ross - It’s Different For Girls - Of Montreal - Tainted love - Soft Cell - So Hot You’re Hurting My Feeling - Caroline Polacheck, EVERYONE has to do the moves from the video

64. favorite website from your childhood?

Thanks :D

thanks :)

10. what do you wish you hated, but actually like?

This is an interesting question because generally liking things is the most rewarding relationship to have - I try to strive to like everything until it proves to me that I have to hate it (but trust me I do hate many, many things).  Maybe staying up late, as somebody who can struggle to sleep I know it’ll fuck with my sleep pattern etc. but geez it’s so much fun on a weekend/holiday.

18. what animal would you keep as a pet, if you could?

🐑 HOUSE SHEEP 🐑 HOUSE SHEEP 🐑 Look i’m very lucky to have grown up with my family having a small flock of Soays, but they’re very much field sheep.  Like, just imagine sitting on the sofa watching a film and a couple of big woolly sheep cuddle up next to you 😭 HEAVEN

24. what is your favourite thing to learn about?

Thank you!!!

PTA: The Master (Punch Drunk Love & There Will Be Blood are also god tier)

3. three songs you were recently obsessed with

shichangani by penny penny (this whole album is so so good especially for DANCING)

sin guía no by juana molina...the lyrics are so beautiful and painful and honestly creepily relevant to the past year in lockdown :(
