About me

Hello. My name is Thomas or Thom (either is fine.). Welcome to my blog! I will usually post about music in this blog but I will also occasionally post about other things as well. I love music a lot and listen to a lot of different genres that it feels hard to keep track of sometimes. My favorite genres as of right now would probably be Memphis rap, Vaporwave, R&B, and probably rock/metal as well. I'm a huge fan of JPEGMAFIA, Denzel Curry, MF DOOM, Three 6 Mafia, Kill Bill, and Kanye West. I can play piano and have some sheet music but i wouldn't say I'm too good at it. I also love video games and play a bunch of them but I still have so many to beat. I usually play on Xbox and Nintendo Switch. I'd love to talk with people about anything and make new friends so if you want, feel free to dm me or whatever and I'll usually respond since I usually don't got much to do. Thank you for taking the time to read this and have a good day!

New Kill Bill single! It’s sounds amazing and reminds me of his earlier stuff off Ramona and Resin even though Bill didn’t produce the track. I wonder if this means we’ll be getting a new album? Oh well. Will probably go for a walk in the rain about an hour after this post is made and give Resin another shot.

I decided to go for a walk about an hour ago at the time of posting while it was still storming out and give Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge another listen and to also clear my head about some shit but that’s not what I’m here to focus on. Overall, I still prefer the black parade over three cheers due to the black parade’s storytelling and the way it plays with different genres for certain songs but maybe it’s just because the storyline of someone dying from cancer hits a soft spot for me. Does this mean I hate three cheers? Not at all. I do like some songs off of it but it might take me a few more front to back listens before I can properly enjoy the storyline and other songs in it.

My walk was a bit hectic since there was a huge thunderstorm going on and a bit of high winds so I’d have to hold my umbrella very steady and fix my hair every 20-30 seconds. Glasses got some rain splashed on them so it slowly got harder to see through them. Though, now I’m just bored and not very tired so if you’re reading this post at anytime and you want to talk or just give an album recommendation, my dms are always open and I’m always down to talk.

Embarrassed myself a few days ago and since then I've been periodically going like this

Ignore the part where he gets naked that's not part of it.

Decided to listen to an album before I try and get some sleep and figured that it’d be best to enjoy fall with some Midwest Emo. Today was Best Buds by Mom Jeans. The best way to describe this album is like going to college to forget about a failed relationship and all the memories that were there but then ending up feeling fear that your new college lover will forget about you. To me, I feel like it was amazing at painting those kinds of pictures with it and found myself somewhat sympathizing with some of the lyrics. Though, there are a few things that I find funny. For example, the lead singer throughout the album sounds like Mordecai from Regular Show and in one song, they use a sample from the show Bob’s burgers. Overall, I loved this album and recommend this album be checked out.

Favorite tracks: Movember, Edward 40hands, *Sobs Quietly*, Poor Boxer Shorts, Remy’s Boyz, Scott Pilgrim vs. My GPA, Vape Nation.

Followed through with my plans and I gave Resin another shot and I think I find it almost on par with Ramona. I remember talking with a mutual in the past about it and I remember describing its vibes on par with an infomercial VHS which I believe is somewhat accurate but with this relisten, I felt like I managed to piece together a bit of a story with it. I feel as though it’s a story of Bill after his success with his album Ramona and trying to make it more out there, hence the intro of the album with the character DJ Hentai Daddy who makes fun of him and his music and tells him how these people want something fire. This leads to Bill incorporating and emulating some rap that you’d probably hear coming from the south or directly mentioning other artists like Big Boi of Outkast or DJ Screw but also hiding away his true music or perhaps his real self on the other half of tracks. Near the end he begins to realize just how lonely and draining it is to try and ride this wave of success yet there’s no conclusion, as if the story is still going or Bill is trying to still find an answer to his problem. Even if I’m overthinking this or I’m just sounding like I’m spewing bullshit, this album had struck a chord with me that I’d never knew it could hit. I might not relate to the fame of it or the success but just the vulnerability he talks about in some of the lyric just hit different and had me see it in a new light.

I’m sorry if the last sentence sounded depressing. I also managed to get two pics that I’d like to share of an abandoned building I’ve posted about before. Think of it like an update.

The power to the building seems to have finally been shut off. I don’t know if the power was shut off manually by workers or was knocked out by the storms in the area but I can say one thing for sure, it’s probably never coming back on. The area around it was much darker in person than the way they appear now when I took the pictures.

Rest in peace to an underground rapper/producer and veteran of the New York Fire Department, Ka. I listened to Orpheus vs the sirens a while back but I remember falling in love with the production and samples throughout the album and Ka’s raspy vocals as the whole album reminded me of something by MF DOOM. If you have the time, please check out this album, you won’t regret it. As for me, I’m gonna check some of his solo projects he made.
