It would be impractical for us to all record all of our conversations and also all listen to those conversations. If you understand who you're making your craft for and to what ends then you'll be at peace. After countless curations and my time in the creme de creme of the artistic world alongside Papa in my youth, I did indeed notice an analytical trend - the artists who could negotiate their own self value found success in their sense and the worldly sense of success did follow after too.

I think lots of people get into it after years in the industry as djs, music journalists, playlisters, etcโ€ฆpeople get tapped by projects or companies that are looking for their particular taste and categorical knowledge of music. If youโ€™re a natural crate digger, playlist maker, connecter-of-dotsโ€” it may be a path you can carve out for yourself by making a name for yourself as a trusted source in the industry and networking. Anyway, lots of good interviews, podcasts, and articles featuring supervisors discussing this sort of stuff. Warning: like a&r work, it ainโ€™t all fun โ€ฆmostly contracts and paper pushing.

Iโ€™m still early on making music โ€” but this is it: I๏ธ played like drums in middle school and then fell out of like โ€œperformingโ€œ until adulthood when I๏ธ decided to start DJ-ing. I๏ธ loved that so much I๏ธ was like I๏ธ feel like I๏ธ can make my own things like 6 months ago and Iโ€™ve just been making small shitty 2 minute things for myself every day. For me itโ€™s kinda meditative? Like usually no one hears the songs I am making (besides my partner) but itโ€™s really just for me. No clue if any of them will ever reach a record or be on Spotify, but I๏ธ feel like itโ€™s making me greater appreciate music in general.

within any algorithm based platforms, this is kind of the only move right now. posting at high frequency on socials, using high trafficked sounds on tiktok, posting on IG stories. there are specific strats out there and the targets keep moving, so do some research and pick the ones that feel the least like pulling your nails out for you. with spotify specifically, if you qualify for Marquee or Showcase definitely try to do those! otherwise make sure to use spotify for artists pitch to playlists and include a canvas. you can make em for cheap (free even?) on Clipchamp.com. if you play shows, do those locally as much as possible. integrating into your local scene is a great way to sell physical merch (make your own for as cheap as possible and get creative), and making connections leads to more show opportunities and more people who might check you on streaming or bandcamp - which you should be using since itโ€™s free even if no one buys your stuff at first! DO NOT!!! use SubmitHub. itโ€™s money you wonโ€™t get back and a lot of people on there now just profit off of offering small artists blog placements for sites no one reads and that will not build you an audience. you should pitch yourself on your own to indie curation platforms you like via DMs/email though, thatโ€™s a great way to get on a playlist. overall itโ€™s rough out there but if nothing else you can always post here and these lovely folks might give you a listen!

Your life should be full of hardship, you should walk for hours on end across the desert in this disagreeable world, theorizing, you should wake up one day and find love is possible

You are the main character, not Taylor Swift or the country genre. I think most people with an angst above level 3 do this, but you should make playlists about your epochs/arcs/eras random memory-tied tracks that bring you to moments of your life - you'll just enjoy it more.

I freakin' love Obama. He wasn't just the first black president, he was also the first openly soft boy president. Today we'll be adapting his famous technique "The Hussein Hustle" to modernity. Here Obama famously engages in an array of books such as Woolf, Fanon, โ€‹and Marx in order to expand his empathetic ability to connect to varying populations of beautiful intellectuals with his steez. We will be employing similar techniques here however, with a reset focus upon femcel films and movies. Let's begin with an order of priority: 1. ๐†๐ข๐ซ๐ฅ ๐ˆ๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ญ๐ž๐ Though it will be too much to review here, this film will form the other end of the psychological coin adjacent to the second suggestion - 2. ๐’๐ฎ๐œ๐ค๐ž๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐œ๐ก These first two narratives combined compose the entirety of the femcel experience, mastering these is understanding at the initial level. 3. ๐•๐ข๐ซ๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐’๐ฎ๐ข๐œ๐ข๐๐ž๐ฌ Sofia Coppola Instigated the dark fog of reality, this is the next to be understood as it most reflects their childhood fears and ideations in one neat parcel. 4. ๐๐ฅ๐š๐œ๐ค ๐’๐ฐ๐š๐ง Social rejection. Every femcel hates it reasonably or is a product of it. Understanding this means understanding the daily weights of your prospective partner. 5. ๐๐ฎ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐š๐ฅ๐จ ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ” She wants to kill you and has every right to, she is the chooser. 6. ๐๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ, ๐“๐ž๐ฑ๐š๐ฌ She wants to have your children and has every right to, but they aren't her responsibility. 7. ๐‰๐ž๐ง๐ง๐ข๐Ÿ๐ž๐ซ'๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐๐ฒ She can totally consume you. 8. ๐“๐ก๐ข๐ซ๐ญ๐ž๐ž๐ง Femcels are like Euphoria the tv show but an even more troubling activation timeline. 9. ๐–๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ž ๐Ž๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐ง๐๐ž๐ซ Why tradcath conversion is imperative. 10. ๐–๐ข๐ง๐จ๐ง๐š ๐‘๐ฒ๐๐ž๐ซ ๐Œ๐š๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ง ๐Ÿ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐ก One of the five ultimate femcel deities, this last ritual sacrifice now has you one step closer to the rebis consciousness.
