Guys it is so damn hot outside.  Like, I am sweating thinking about it.  The day has gotten away from me and I am bushed because it was so hot out.  Like, came down, stripped off and jumped in the shower because I was sweaty and gross.  Sorry to get everyone all hot and bothered thinking about me naked and sweaty, just take a deep breath and think about baseball.  Anyway, my soundtrack to the afternoon was Joanna Newsom’s Divers because I hadn’t really had a chance to give it a thorough listen yet even though it came out approximately 3 million years ago.  It happens.  I really like it, which isn’t a shock because I quite like her.  She is pretty, she has a fascinating voice and is the only harpist I can name.  I guess that last one isn’t really a reason to post someone but it is a fact.  It is odd, the idea of like pop harp but it’s been a reality since her first record came out.  Anyway, seemed like a good day to post her so today I want to fuck Joanna Newsom.

Today’s pick was hard.  It always is after the Met Gala because the Met Gala is like the superbowl of batshit red carpet gowns.  I was pretty excited going in because of the theme this year, the whole fusing machine and fashion I knew could be either the coolest thing I’d ever seen or a trainwreck.  And I’ll be honest, I don’t mind trainwrecks because it’s at least interesting.  I enjoy an interesting terrible dress more than a bland mediocre dress I think.  Of course, now I am just imagining a hem with a little traintrack along the hem with a model train going around it.  And puns about trains.  Anyway, indeed a lot of the dresses were kinda ugly.  There were plenty of great ones, too, which is why I took so long to post today.  It was a really tough decision.  I went with Taylor Swift because it’s kind of… I don’t know.  I am not even sure I like it but it is metallic and it sure seems like it’s trying to match the theme.  I dunno, maybe it’s the black lipstick.  I found myself drawn today towards people who were wearing maybe not entirely normal things that felt like they put the effort in.  She fit and for some reason I was drawn to her look.  I am a little torn about the new hair.  I mean, I like it but it also doesn’t feel like Taylor Swift.  It’s strange.  I am rambling, she’s my pick from the Met Gala but you know, there were lots of other possibilities so if you want to know, feel free to ask who else I liked.  Today I want to fuck Taylor Swift.

Here is Taylor Swift because she’s due?  I don’t know.  I am super tired because it’s noisy outside and I am not really running on full capacity today.  She is very pretty and there have been a lot of times recently I almost posted her but then didn’t.  So I am posting her today.  These are basically random pictures I pulled of her on the red carpet because I am half assing this.  Sorry.  Today I want to fuck Taylor Swift.

Sorry everyone who for some reason gets annoyed when I post Charli XCX, it’s my blog, she’s great, you’ll have to deal!  I have spent the past day thinking about her music a fair bit and discussing it with people and…  you know what?  She’s special.  You don’t have to like her music but the truth is each album is different and you don’t see other pop stars deciding to collaborate with subversive and anti-commercial elements like PC Music.  Look, here is the thing, she is less famous than a lot of pop musicians, she’s just always been on the edge of fame, predicted to blow up for years.  I don’t know if that will ever happen but I can’t think of many pop stars who would find their name out there because of tracks like Fancy and I Love It and just decide to scrap that and do something no one else is doing.  Cyndi Lauper.  That’s who it always makes me think of, the girl the critics loved and had pegged for big things but was far more interested in doing what made her happy and what she thought was good than in just duplicating her last hit.  It’s what we often say we want an artist to be.  So that is what I have been thinking about with Charli XCX, that she is a musician that makes me excited to see what she does next.  There are really only a handful of artists at a time that I get truly excited to see what they will do.  Lots I like but I know what’s coming and I’m not waiting with bated breath.  I am excited to see what she has coming down the pipe and I was just listening to one of her albums so today I want to fuck Charli XCX.

Here is Colleen Green because I like music and i like her music?  Why do I put a question mark at the end of stuff like that?  I don’t know, I mean that statement is true, the part about liking her and liking music, I am just uncertain as to why she is really here today.  She just kind of popped into my head this morning and won’t go away.  At which point I listened to her most recent album and so she still isn’t going away.  She is pretty but more so I think she is a sneakily clever song writer and deals with some themes that resonate with me at least.  Her songs are also really infectious and easy to sing along to.  So I guess those are all reasons that today I want to fuck Colleen Green.

Ellie Rowsell is here because I had a dream last night.  It was weird and stuff but anyway, here she is.  I assume I had a dream about her because the other day I was talking to a friend who had never heard of Wolf Alice and I realized he needed to know about them.  Not because everyone in the world needs to, though I am sure I have some followers who think everyone in the world needs to (@wildflagsure) but because I know his music tastes.  I really know what he loved in the 90’s so I knew there were certain tracks like Moaning Lisa Smile that he would go nuts for.  So you know, I am on the phone digging up youtube videos to show in him and he went nuts for it.  I love sharing music, it was good.  I think that is how Ellie Rowsell got into my head though, she just snuck in there because I started thinking about the band.  Also watching music videos, which is not an activity I usually partake in.  So this is a celebration of music today and the joy of sharing music with people.  Frankly, that is the history of music to me, grabbing a friend and saying, “You have to hear this”.  Everyone remembers who showed them this band or that and it’s this really cool bond.  It’s been that way since I was a kid.  Today I want to fuck Ellie Rowsell.

Here’s Taylor Swift because… um she hasn’t shown up recently?  I was thinking about her?  I don’t have any great explanation and am not really feeling all that talkative today.  Or… whatever this counts as.  She was just kind of on my mind and she’s pretty so here she is.  Today I want to fuck Taylor Swift.

Here is Ellie Rowsell because I could have posted lots of people today but musicians are hot.  Also, I have a friend who has been doing what she can to try and influence this pick.  Now, I have posted Ellie before and I quite like Wolf Alice but the issue with anyone who isn’t mega famous is that they face an uphill battle when it comes to appearing here.  As much as I might like the band and the music, if I am not actively listening to it I basically am not thinking about it.  And the internet is full of pictures of other people.  So I have a friend who has been working overtime reblogging pictures of Ellie and messaging me about Ellie and, ok, you win.  Here is Ellie Rowsell who is pretty but more so is hot because she rocks.  So today I want to fuck Ellie Rowsell.

Something has been trying to get me to post Taylor Swift.  Something.  I don’t know if it is the universe, fate, or @thunderstormofoblivion who keeps bringing pictures of Taylor to my attention.  Something though is doing it.  Though actually I got up this morning thinking I’d post her because multiple magazine covers yesterday and she looks good and was on my mind but… the day got away from me.  Usually I have changed my mind between mornign and afternoon but not today, which does go to show I really should have been posting Taylor Swift.  I read something about her trying to go away fro a while, worrying about over exposure.  I wish her luck because I don’t think this is entirely her choice unless she actually becomes a hermit.  There are few people on the internet pictures of show up more often, she even dwarfs models and their job is to have pictures taken of them.  So I wonder if we will see any less of her leaving her house or the gym or where ever they ambush her. But I wish her luck because I would hate to see some backlash against her.  My tolerance for backlashes against celebrities just continues to shrink.  And I don’t feel like she deserves any such nonsense.  Anyway, today I want to fuck Taylor Swift

Man guys, I am beat today.  Very little sleep, hung over.  Sometimes I forget I am not 20 anymore.  No, that’s not entirely accurate, I am aware I am not 20, I just don’t adjust my behavior accordingly. I should probably be a little worried about how relatable I find Colleen Green’s latest album, I Want to Grow Up. But you know, it helps that it’s just really good.  And I enjoy her, I like her voice, I really dig her guitar work because I really like distortion and simple chord structures.  Today I want to fuck Colleen Green.
