fav music
these are artists whose work has been a special interest of mine in the past or currently and i've listened to almost all of their music. and i can't be normal about it.
system of a down
Beyond the Staples Center you can see America / With its tired poor avenging disgrace / Peaceful, loving youth against the brutality / Of plastic existence
- system of a down, "deer dance"
I CAN MAKE MY COCK DO TRICKS
- daron malakian
this was my first band i was utterly obsessed with. i discovered SOAD through naruto amvs in 6th grade and i would print out their song lyrics to read when i was at afterschool daycare. really normal behavior. SOAD was my favorite band for over a decade and i don't listen to them as much now but i can't deny their influence on me when i've listened to every discoverable unreleased song they've made, drawn fanart of them, made sculptures of them, and i make serj hang out with madoka kaname in tomodachi life.
favorite songs: stealing society, starlit eyes, fortress, johnny, ego brain, forest, needles, deer dance, mr. jack, genocidal humanoidz, holy mountains, dreaming, highway song, protect the land
favorite albums: hypnotize, toxicity, steal this album
passion pit
You should go if you want to / Yeah go if you want to / I’ll be alright, be alright / Well I’ve made so many messes / And this love has grown so restless / Your whole life's been nothing but this / I won’t let you go unless / I’ll be alright / I’ll be alright
- passion pit, "i'll be alright"
i got into passion pit during high school after i watched a fursuit building video on youtube with sleepyhead playing in the background. shortly after that little secrets showed up on my tumblr dash and i had to see what it was all about. passion pit had a big influence on the development of many of my ocs (chester, darcy, & fran to name a few. i say this about many of the artists i've listed here) and his songs got me through some rough patches. i did quite a few design projects in college that revolved around passion pit songs. michael angelakos's music has shaped my life to a great extent and i really hope the best for him.
favorite songs: batty lashes (THE SONG OF ALL TIME. PLEASE OFFICIALLY RELEASE IT MICHAEL), where we belong, somewhere up there, better things, seaweed song, sleepyhead, i'll be alright, constant conversations, live to tell the tale, smile upon me, my brother taught me how to swim
favorite albums: chunk of change, manners, gossamer
nicole dollanganger
The things you love / You put into cement / In order to keep them / They have to be dead / You think that he's yours / But it's only in your head / His coffin is not your arms / His grave is not your bed
- nicole dollanganger, "cement"
if you know you know, and if you do know you're probably giving me some sort of look right now. i got into nicole's music at the height of her popularity on tumblr, when she still regularly posted personal things and song demos, and before grimes helped popularize her work. i'm not into tcc and the content of some of nicole's songs really make me uncomfortable but when i was an edgy teenager these songs were everything to me... i have fond memories of sitting in the hallway in high school waiting for class and listening to the demo of poacher's pride. i really enjoy the simplicity of her early albums but i feel that she's really hit her stride since heart shaped bed was released.
favorite songs: observatory mansions, my funeral boy, poacher's pride, heart shaped bed, dahmer and the limbs, runnin' free, farmer's field, valley of the dead, bunny boy, freaks forever, adam II infirmary, danny, flowers of flesh and blood, rampage, creek blues, please just stay dead, lacrymaria olor, dogwood, alligator blood, loveless nightmare, reds w/ brad garcia
favorite albums: heart shaped bed, babyland, curdled milk, flowers of flesh and blood, observatory mansions
lauren bousfield / nero's day at disneyland
So ingrained it doesn’t even need to be coherent / A maddening drive towards our own oppression / I just want to be loved / And paid attention to / Like a consumer / Please try to love me
- lauren bousfield, "mansions no one wants to buy for any price"
i was introduced to lauren bousfield's music the way a lot of people were introduced to it... no comment... it's really good. i love the abrasiveness of her music. fire songs still makes me cry.
favorite songs: in aisles, death parade, hazer, audkyrie, palimpsest, no clocks no mirrors, crisis actress, foster kid running away again, if we save just one child it will all be worth it, fire sale, cascading retail spaces, sable leathery wings, child protecive services theme song, business versus nature, bent chorals, flying high, mascara running everywhere, reptile crawling from the forest, a lie temporarily becomes the truth, chicken and cheese 2, grand inquisitors theme, stately wrong
favorite albums: from rotting fantasylands, grievances and dead malls, avalon vales, fire songs

pom pom squad
Is there a way for me to kill the girl I wish I were? / Won't let me be because I’ll never be enough for her / Animal part of me, she never stays too far from me / She tastes like meat / She tastes like blood / She tastes so sweet
- pom pom squad, "shame reactions"

dynastic
It's so nice / Sitting in the light / From the stars / And the satellites / Wonder if you're mine / In a past or / A second life / Can I get there / If I am patient? / It's so nice / Looking at a view of behind / With my broken eyes / But I have seen the sights / Of a thousand other lives / I got here 'cause I was patient
- dynastic, "on tape"
i feel that dynastic is probably going to end up in the autism section at some point and i only put it here because it's too soon. ummmmm...... so basically...... this shit is so fucking good. this shit is making me make oc amvs in my brain like nothing else does. there are so many dynastic songs on my effie playlist. i relate to some of these songs a lot, which is a good and bad thing. but i love it.

Whatcha thinking bout boy? / Are you picturing my insides outside of me? / Did you think that I would need more? / Did you forget my own knife could cut me? / I’m getting used to it, pain is temporary / There won’t ever be room for happy memories / I’m getting used to it despair is so contagious / You can take everything, I don’t need it anyway
