Before you read this review, I wanted to admit that I am completely biased in every regard for Archy Marshall AKA King Krule, skewing of course to the fangirl swooning level that is probably not the most reliable for music reviews. I have been an avid fan of Archy Marshall circa his Zoo Kid era, replaying Baby Blue and his EP throughout my angsty teenage phase every night until my teeth fell out. I've been following the hype for 6 Feet Beneath the Moon for quite some time now, and August 24 is finally a-coming.
Marshall recently shared Easy Easy, a track from 6 Feet Beneath the Moon. It's reminiscent of many of his tracks a la bedroom. The synthing, lo-fi voice is haunting and the guitar progressions are eerily mellow and fit well and harmoniously with Marshall's flickering voice.
Check out King Krule's music. My personal favorite track is Baby Blue, but other recommended tracks are Ocean Bed, Bleak Blake, A Portrait in Black in Blue, Lead Existence, Noose in Jah City, Out Getting Ribs, Rockbottom, and pretty much anything you can get your hands on. Marshall also posts some hip-hop beats using his moniker DJ JD Sports. Worth a listen.

So I made this list of books to read/things to do the week before finals week.... I've been home for three weeks now, and it's been really relaxing, tiring, and morally uplifting (TOO SOON FOR THE SARCASM-SORRY) in the ways I've missed so much about my beautiful lifestyle at home with my friends and family. I started my summer research internship three weeks ago, and I'm pretty busy with that since I work Mon-Fri until 4 or 5.. Pretty beat is a more accurate description, but it's going well thus far. The only thing that I can check off is the daily run regime; I ran 7 miles yesterday. I want to hit 10 and continue to train for a ten mile hopefully by the end of the summer or sometime in the fall. I've found a lot of amazing texts around my house like a minimalistic art history textbook, my National Geographic world encyclopedia, and a bunch of Anatomy charts. Overall, summer is going by too quickly already, I'm too addicted to Netflix, and I am in the worst stage of my homebody issuez. Anyways, I'm on a hiatus from photography, so I don't know when pictures will be up (if at all). I'm signing up for pottery lessons soon though and starting a studying plan so I can spend time reading and researching about architecture! I actually starting drawing a sketch for a panoptic esque study, an open floor living room, and a hallway. I'm going to order charcoal and some sketchbooks - maybe even dabble in watercolor this summer.
does he know
who you are
does he laugh
just to think
what he has
does he know
not to talk
about your dad
does he know when you're sad
you don't like to be touched
let alone kissed
does he know where your lips begin
do you know
who you are
do you laugh
just to know
what i lack
do you know
your lips shake
when you're mad
do you notice when you're sad
you don't like to be touched
let alone kissed
does his love make your head spin
mostly unedited
here are some shots i took in the fens today. some of them are edited, most are not. i'll probably sit down and work on them over the weekend, but i just wanted to post them up hur for now
VIRGIN SHAMING
It never ceases to amaze me the reactions I get when someone asks me about the "dudes currently in my life." It's a pretty happenin' topic amongst my friends, and the first one that usually comes up during family dinners and holiday parties. Sometimes, my friends and cousins even go as far as reassuring me that's it's okay to be single, and it'll happen when the time is ripe. Okay, to start off, who ever said that the number one rule of being a freshman is to have an extensive hook-up list of somewhat correct first names and displaced nights in some type of order that somehow correlates the amount of "fun" I'm having in college?
Just because I'm a virgin does not mean a) I'm a devout believer in Christ and I'm waiting for marriage b) I never go out and have fun or c) I'm a lesbian(my personal favorite.) Sometimes, it even goes as far as virgin shaming. That's right- virgin shaming. I don't understand why people feel the need to judge others based on the amount of sexual activity they choose to engage in, or in my case, not engage in. It's none of your business, and it says nothing about the person besides his/her personal preferences. Virgin shaming, slut shaming - they're both derived from the idea of judging a person because on something like how much sex he/she has, which is stupid. Some people have more morals than others, and that's perfectly okay. Some people really enjoy sex, and that's okay too. We're all different and believe in different things, so who gets to constitute what is "normal" and what is "slutty" or "too weird?"
To wrap it up, I just wanted to say that virgin shaming is a real thing, and something I occasionally deal with, which to me is absurd, but WHATEVER. I AM WAITING ON THE RIGHT PERSON, AND I AM NOT ASHAMED OR A HERMIT (can't vouch for the latter but w/e).
