Hiya Lovlies! <3 Fooofofofofofufufufuf.
Blooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhgllll. Life has been slightly more coffee filled, slightly more booze filled, slightly more ketamine filled, extremely more exhausted with school filled, and a little less creative-music-writing-energy filled. But also pumped with positivity and optimism and bounciness and love for people and good Amina times honk honk honk <3.
Emotionally it really hasn't been super bumpy lately. A wee couple of things. My house is a little shaky; only because of people moving in, others moving out, figuring out new house dynamics with new people. Finding someone to live in my home who I can feel close to emotionally and feel like family with (something very important for me in a house). Saying goodbye to living with Onyx, who has been a staple in that place for so long and has always been a comfort for me to live with. I wonder what Alamingo will be like in it's new state.
Changes! It's kind of always the theme for me in spring. Feeling okaaay about being in school right now, though losing energy for it. Still writing music, but much slower and with less motivation (which sometimes scares me, because I'm like "oh god what if I stop writing music?!? It's such a part of my identity!!").
But these are both common occurances for me around this time of year. Feeling my body wanting something different; to go on adventures. To play hella shows all the time rather than write new songs (something I realize I've suddenly become addicted to and have a hard time ever turning down). To extend my heart more fully and connect to everyone and everything as much as possible and in as many ways as I can <3 <3 <3 rararr.
My energy seems to often turn from internal to external come spring. Bud into flower. Coccoon into butterfly. Squirrel into chipmunk (uhhhhhhh I mean errrr what). So suddenly, it's hard to be internal and heady and do creative activities that involve anti-socialness. Sometimes that shift makes me a little anxious, suddenly losing interest in all these things I've invested so much time into doing. But I think that's also just me remembering to just go with it, and trust my heart is taking me exactly where it needs to go.
Even if it seems a little bumpy and takes me through some uncharted lands. It's a surprisingly accurate compass.
Sunday night's show will be filled with some new Venetian Snares albums + Last Step albums I'd never heard of!! Wuwuwuwuwuuuu! Get ready to make a [[[hopeless]]] attempt at dancing to completely non-sensical and !!!stupid!!!(BOOYA) time signatures! Featuring:

Good times! But really, Aaron Funk is amazing and does breakcore acid jungle opera at odd time signatures like no one's business.
