3rd: lol my girls at roc had a marketing meeting where they thought of names for fans and made these creepy posters,
i dunno i dunno haha

<=

3rd: okkk im gonna re-produce one or 2 old songs for the live show for extra insurance in case i can’t get all the new songs i wanna play together b4 gov ball -
i was thinkin’ feyd rautha dark heart(from geidi primes)? or weregild (halfaxa)?
any other requests? it kinda has to be a song with like verses and a chorus since it’s mostly for festival use altho i could potentially convert a crazier thing into one of my interlude-y psych jam things
ill check the comments of this — sincerely interested in any feedback
**** hmmm thanks 4 feeback! reading comments now — yeah rosa could work
i like devon too, but i was thinking of doing just a piano version of that as like an encore or smthn when i do club shows again
ok will think on this

4th: this mariah carey album title generator is legit useful

15th: “The chance encounter yielded a remarkable photograph. It also raised questions about “tear-feeding,” a phenomenon otherwise known as lachryphagy, which has been well documented but remains poorly understood.” - national geographic
this seems really weird and poetic and creepy and lovely
butterflies and bees feeding on crocodile tears
for every terrible thing that exists in the world there is something beautiful and incredible
ah <3

17th: this is the look im trying to achieve

17th: ok if u want like endless refreshing beverages that are basically free like, just buying a bit of mint and putting it in ice water is truly a game changer. started doing this yesterday and i feel noticeably more hydrated altho its kinda chicken/egg because im probably drinking more water because it tastes better. anyhow, i feel like this is a good thing to give guests if you are entertaining guests too.
also this isn’t my house its an air bnb so don’t judge the decor i would def put floral wallpaper up if i had weird protruding things on my walls like this and i certainly wouldnt waste time and money framing a picture

17th: first thing u need to know about making music in ableton:
preferences > look feel > colors > skin/ colour intensity/ color hue

18th: holy shit kimbra got really crazy haha damn
sorry if im posting 2 many songs tonight im just mixing so im listening to tons of shit to compare and it inspires me
** the first listen thru i hated this song but somehow felt inclined to listen to it on repeat and now im obsessed with it which is generally a good sign - im listening 2 it on studio monitors and its very fun to listen 2 on a good system

18th: a recording of my voice heehehoo

19th: when im old im gonna dress like a bene gesserit

21st: i hope the game of thrones cast is at sdcc because if so i will die

22nd: ooooh ayeayaha previewing new shirts - the first ‘professionally made’ grimes shirts printed with one of my best paintings thus far imo
the design is gonna be bigger relative to the shirt irl, this is just the first draft. its also soft as all hell
once we get the physical demo ill post some photos of james modelling it heheha
** also i know in hte past the shirts have sometimes been kinda sketchy but i really appreciate yall bearing with me cuz its really important to me that its not just some random thing that i pay someone to design (altho i did pay some amazing ppl to source materials and print it obviously haha - but i mean in terms of the actual image). grimes is about art just as much as its about music and i put a lot of time and effort into everything i put out visually too - so i hope u like it cuz im sooo happy to finally feel like the shirts are up to par with other peoples shirts. but yes, more good stuff to come!
Oh also – this is just a run of a couple hundred for governers ball and stuff, but when im doing more touring we’ll do more cuts, paintings and colours too
<3

22nd: addicted to listening to every song ever recorded by ariana grande and imagining scenes from fantasia playing through my mind - like beautiful pegasus flying through storms and colourful centaurs falling in love
