Something you used to look forward to on Mondays
My Thought Process Behind This
I’ve been gone for a long time, but I’m back now! Well… Kinda… ‘Cause I’m here to tell you the PUM series is ending. Since there will be no more episodes after this one, I have to do the thing… I know some people will hate me for this, but I feel like I owe it to the series and to those who have been with me since the first episode. In a nutshell, this episode is going to be about those guilty pleasure songs we all be too afraid to play in a car with our friends. If I were to say one thing with this whole series, it would be, to never be ashamed of your music taste. I want you to own it and just enjoy yourself. I think that’s enough for the introduction, let’s get straight into it!
“Oh, is that Justin Bieber? Are you a 14 y.o. girl?” I love people who talk like this. I’m always like: “Are you really trying to tell me, you don’t ever listen to Justin Bieber or any other similar pop artist?” I usually don’t either, but every once in a while I put on “Beauty and a Beat” and I’m f**cking vibing to that shi*. That Nicki Minaj verse just hits a different part of my brain. I don’t even know what to tell you. What I am not afraid to do tho, is to admit it and own it.
This applies to the whole list, especially to “Love Story” by Taylor Swift. I have been listening to that song ever since I can remember. You can try to have a “good music taste” as hard as you want, but you just can’t deny that those songs just have it. Sometimes I maybe want to feel like 14 y.o. growing up in the 2000s, so what?
Shh: That’s the “Wild Child” movie reference, from which I know the song “About You Now” by Sugababes!
I even came to realize that mixing a “guilty pleasure” in my DJ sets every now and then is kinda my thing. That’s something you can definitely expect with my upcoming work, I can’t wait for you to hear what I have in the works. I feel like this lil selection of songs is a shy introduction to the style I am currently drifting toward in my music-making and track selection for sets.
BTS Note: I am writing a note to those wondering what happened or where I’ve been and how things are going to be now. Let’s say I had a very busy summer, a lot of random things happened as well. I was finishing college, so I had to write my bachelor’s thesis and prepare for the final exams. Luckily I successfully passed, but I decided not to continue my studies to focus on the Nickname Not Available project. We’ll see how that goes I guess. For starters, I finished and put out my debut ep, you can check it out on all streaming platforms if u want. I also plan to focus on the blog more in the future, so even though this series is ending, I am quietly preparing other things you can look forward to, so stay tuned!
