*CASSETTES* :D https://inserttapes.bandcamp.com/album/express
I don’t know if I’ve truly found myself yet, whatever that means, but if there’s one thing that I’ve learned from these past few years is that music is how I want to express that journey. Thank you so much for listening and supporting me, I hope you all enjoy this tape! ^_^

Special s/o and thanks to slr, greenshrt, bastrd, dibiase, aNTOJE, WAISTDEEP CLIQUE, and Freddie Dredd for being inspirations during the creation of this tape and indirectly helping me navigate through this weird realm we call “music”. ^_^

Special thanks to Kelan B. for artwork consultation.

Hear my interview with Lucy Flores here https://soundcloud.com/katie-halper/lucy-flores-final-4-2

Tara Reade has been trying to tell her story since it happened in 1993, when she was working as a staff assistant for Joe Biden. She told part of her story-- about how Biden would put his hands on her shoulders and run his fingers up and down her neck-- in the spring of 2019 after Lucy Flores accused Biden of kissing the top of her head and smelling her hair inappropriately. But Reade didn't tell her full story. As Ryan Grim reveals at The Intercept, Reade asked for help  from Time's Up, but the organization said it could not support her because a case taking on Biden would jeopardize their non-profit status. Tara is finally telling the story she's been trying to tell for decades. While there were no witnesses to Biden's alleged sexual assault of Tara Reade, her brother and close friend, both of whom I've spoken to, recall Reade telling them about it at the time.  The rest of the interview will be released shortly.

LA Priest - What Moves Remix

Off time, unmixed, unmastered.  I'm pursuing other things but I will return to the music soon.  Just really wanted more people to hear these tracks.

Peachjuice! (demo)

My message:
I made the song wanting it to sound poppy and fun, but honest and real at the same time. I had been going through a tough time in my life, struggling with building relationships and getting over past ones. Then I realized the only word that could describe how I felt was "lonely," so the hook came easily. As I went deeper into how I felt, I played with the concept of just how lonely I was by practically saying in my second verse, "It's not that I even need a therapist, it's that I need company," and "I've experienced so much loss, hey, if you're an old friend listening to this, I probably miss you". As for the upbeat and happy elements of the song, I figured that if I feel this lonely, I might as well make it enjoyable. The takeaway from this is that, even in loneliness, there can be contentment. I mean, I found it by making a song about it.

-lyrics
Like little butterflies caught in a web
For the first time it filled me with dread
Forgot what it's like to get out of bed
Homebody, no bread
 
It's such a lonely, lonely, lonely world
For such a lonely, lonely girl
And I'm a lonely, lonely, lonely girl
In such a lonely, lonely world
 
I hit up old friends to come visit me
And when they say no, I try therapy
Not for consoling, just for company
Nobody, that's me
I've been talking to the moon again
Lost more than I ever meant to
Still here trying to play pretend
'Cause I still think about you
No one's gonna save me now
I live but I don't know how to
Tell me when you're back around
'Cause I still think about you
 
Lonely, lonely, lonely world
It's such a lonely, lonely world
And I'm a lonely, lonely, lonely girl
In such a lonely, lonely world
It's such a lonely, lonely, lonely world
For such a lonely, lonely girl
And I'm a lonely, lonely, lonely girl
In such a lonely, lonely world
 
Don't you see it?
People leave, it don't mean it
You can stop believing
People leave, it don't mean it
They don't mean it
It's such a lonely, lonely, lonely world
For such a lonely, lonely girl
And I'm a lonely, lonely, lonely girl
In such a lonely, lonely world
