music-themed roundup
May. 10th, 2025 04:05 pm👑 i saw state champs live last month! they were so, so good live, basically the opposite of what i think a taking back sunday live performance would sound like according to reddit.
prior to going, i had tried doing some research to see what a state champs concert would be like, and my God they were not lying about them being high-energy all the way through. so high energy, i didn't notice they managed to squeeze 21 songs in 1.5 hours. two of the songs i wished would be on their set happened: "light blue", which was so exciting because i specifically wore the dolce&gabbana fragrance the song was named for in anticipation, and "act like that", which was so exciting BECAUSE SOMEONE PROPOSED DURING THE PERFORMANCE
🌄 yesterday i sat down and listened to sub-radio's new album release sunrise city. i liked it, but i think the second half of the record needs some time to grow on me. the first half was composed of the singles they released over the past few months. personal highlight songs include "sleep on the beach", "I'M IN LOVE!!", and "dimension".
💔 one of the cutest music videos i know of is for "kiss me again" by we are the in crowd, featuring alex gaskarth of all time low. recently i learned that tay jardine (the female vocalist) and alex actually had something going on at the time (2012) which highly disappointed me as i assumed they were really good friends that just so happened to have electric chemistry. anyway. this ship had a staunch community of supporters back in the day on tumblr. it's so interesting getting to scour these old blogs and piecing together the story of the ship, browsing the fanmade ship content (usually GIFs and photosets, of course), and remembering how people used to tweet and use instagram in the 2010s.
