Without naming them, post up to ten pictures or gifs of characters that altered your brain chemistry.

my favorite song by them: good times & bout mine

my favorite album/project by them: hearts sold separately but also to be eaten alive on the same level

favorite lyric from one of their songs: should've known you'd die in color / never alone, die for your brothers

my dream collab for them: coco jones

what I think their biggest musical strength is (vocals, lyrics, showmanship, production, etc.): i'll start this off by saying yes she's not a vocalist but her music is enjoyable. to ME, in my opinion, cus people can debate this: out of her obvious rnb peers, her pen easily is one of the best. i know she gets judged cus of her romantic life (no comment...lol), but she has a couple of songs about wanting to off herself, and she can get a tiny bit existential with it sooo i think it's hilarious when people say she makes 'bird music' or whatever. she literally doesn't lmao but anyway! besides that, she has a distinct visual style for her album covers and the eras in general + has a clear vision and can execute it well. love that she's a fashion girlie and mostly styles herself. idt she's ever missed once look wise. that's diva!

last read: The last book I finished was Wichita Lineman: Searching in the Sun for the World's Greatest Unfinished Song by Dylan Jones. Pretty much what is says on the tin. I thought is was a pretty good look at the enduring qualities of the song. I just started Outlawed by Anna North. Nothing about it has really captured me so far, but it's still early days.

last song: Nothing I Can Do by Evangeline. Her work with Max Shrager helps fill the Shacks shaped hole in my life.

last film: The Best Summer (dir. Tamra Davis) (2026). I was hoping to catch a few Sundance picks this year, but was hit with the dreded Suprise Expenses. I've started a few other movies since then but it seems the only way I'm finishing things right now is with externally imposed time restrictions.

sweet or salty? Both. It tends to flip-flop so right now I'm riding a Sweet Wave.

coffee or tea? Also both. It really depends on whether I want something strong or not. And how my gut is feeling (though I rarely listen to her unfortunately).

working on: Well I've been focusing on my reading in the hopes that it will get me in the writing spirit... I've also been dealing with an old wrist sprain acting up which has put a pause on teaching myself the piano, so I've been trying to build my strength back up in my hand so I can get back to that!

This is gonna be so hard because I love women and their music so I’ll just pick my current favs.

1. Southern Hummingbird by Tweet

Such a beautiful album, I could really listen to it forever. Makes me feel so grown up and womanly

2. Presenting The Fabulous Ronettes Featuring Veronica

The most dreamy and soft album everrrrr. I haven’t listened to it in a while but there was a point where I would listen to it multiple times a day for months on end. I love it so so much

3. Wanderland by Kelis

I’ve been listening to this one a lot more recently but I was OBSESSED with it in 9th grade. It’s so fun and summery, an album full of joy

Thank you Mykki 🫂🫂🫂

11. Very Ape by Nirvana

21. Pass the Plugs by De La Soul

1. A song you liked as a child.

Best Song Ever by One Direction, I was the #1 directioner as a little girl but I was also kinda fake because when Zayn left I was just kinda like “idc, he’s not my favorite anyways”. I almost had a 1d themed birthday party but I go too embarrassed and changed it at the last minute.

8. A song from a soundtrack

Hey Baby by Bruce Channel from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. I only got put on to this song through a video about Ringo Starr’s albums even though I’ve seen Dirty Dancing many times.

20. A song you’d put on a playlist for the person who sent you this ask

Nightbird by Labelle because it’s amazing and everyone should listen to it.
