the princess diaries 2 soundtrack lived in my discman. our living room radio was for radio disney. the boxy glitchy little alarm clock/radio/tape player in my bedroom was for jazz. when cds lived outside of my discman, i could offer them a home in my blue and orange nickelodeon karaoke machine (just a small boom box w/ attached microphone lol, pictured here). & when i was 11 i got an ipod shuffle that i wore around my neck and filled with songs mostly by lemon demon and smoosh (smoosh had recently been profiled in american girl magazine).

And every day i regret getting rid of it. And no buying one wouldn’t be the same, I want MY old blue iPod! before that I had a portable tape player that came with a fabric multicolour case in the shape of a dragon that doubled as a bag, and had speakers, but I mostly used that for audiobooks on holiday or sleepovers at my grandparents as I listened to stuff to go to sleep. At home I had a little green cd and tape player that was very round and very cute. In my tweens/early teens I decided to be cool and weird and ditch new technology and replaced my iPod with a cd walkman, and my motoroler razor flip phone for an old Nokia brick. (Mostly because I was bad for losing things and I was scared of losing fancy phones).

only did this because the concept of a rhyme-based movie-pairing scheme is funny, but they were actually sooo gripping together. two very different horror genres operating on entirely different scales (rope as the horror of being in close quarters w/ people, nope as the horror of wide-open space)....but there's such a strong resonance between nope's relationship to visual information and rope's relationship to spoken information. i was Experiencing It. total run-time 3 and a half hrs.
