Boy love anime has completely ruined what life I ever had. Specifically: Junjou Romantica, Gakuen Heaven, and Antique Bakery. Whoever made these completely unrealistic portrayals of gay life deserves to be kicked in the face. And then knowing my stupid ass, I'd nurse them back to health.
I already live in crazy world to begin with. I have a weekly obsession that constantly changes. I'm not joking. I went through a huge curry phase and tried to learn how to make it. Let's just say my kitchen looked worse than San Frandisco post-earthquake. So what is it that anime taps into my head where I go super gaga over it?
BECAUSE A BITCH IS JEALOUS. If you have a relationship like this, chances are I probably fucking hate your guts. WHO DOES THAT? I wish some tall white-washed asian dude would take me on a date on a ferris wheel. I wish some asian dude would whisper sweet nothings in my stupid ear...well the one that's working at least (My right ear has been acting up post-flu and let me tell you, listening to "Funnel Of Love" by Wanda Jackson on the headphones is a bit wonky).
BL anime taps into my paranoid gay boy fears: I'm going to die by myself. Nobody will ever be that kind to me. How come they can eat and eat and never gain a pound? Then I think about it some more...it's fucking ANIME. It's not real. It's drawn by people who want to see their idea of sexy bump mommy and daddy spots with one another. It may be a portrayal of romanticized gay love, but the real thing is just so much better. Every boy will nab themselves a hottie in their life. It's not a race. When you know, you know. And if it's not right, kick that bitch to the curb.
Unless you're this bitch. You need some time to yourself for a while. PAININ'.

Patrick Wolf's new video
patrick wolf hard times from Okan Vardarova on Vimeo.
These are hard times. I'll work harder.
Out of all the baroque/chamber/indie pop bands/artists out there, none has excited me more than Patrick Wolf and his catalogue of work. When "Lycanthropy" was released, it really opened my eyes and ears to the fact that finally organic instrumentation and technology did not have to be exclusive to one another. I loved the drum loops mixed with his use of strings, ukulele, pianos, and whatever else was on that record. Fast forward 6 years later and Mr. Wolf is preparing to release his 4th record "The Bachelor" on June 1st via his newly created imprint Bloody Chamber. The first single "Vulture" doesn't really reflect the songs I've heard so far (with it's overuse of hollow sounding drum machines and whatever synth. That trend needs to end please), but the other songs do seem to sound like the counterpoint to "The Magic Position": Moody, less pop radio inclined, the soundtrack to the after party. Guests include Matthew Herbert, Eliza Carthy, Atari Teenage Riot's Alec Empire, and actress Tilda Swinton (YES YES YES). The second alleged single "Hard Times" has leaked and I cannot stop playing it. Congratulations to Patrick Wolf for crafting an amazing record free from major label dramz.
Hop on over to I Guess I'm Floating to hear "Hard Times". It really is worth a listen. And support diy labels/musicians and buy the record when it comes out (if you like what you hear, that is).
