Justin Kuritzkes - Songs About My Wife

this is so great

The first thing I thought when reading / listening to these is Naomi! They both have very much the same ideas of inexplicability, of just existing on the internet with no context.

I like the music of both so thanks for sharing

speaking of naomi elizabeth can we just appreciate one of her best works
that joan of arc armour with the sword like i am living

there are some iconic looks and dance moves in here and defs some lana del rey influences i feel

and regarding justin like thank you so much for adding another layer to this very odd youtuber i did not even realise he was releasing tunes, even though we got a baby is such a jam omg

Yes?

Like idk but the actual music behind her, esp. on "God Sent Me Here", interests me far more than the values of "ideas" lol

So I'm a big fan of comedy and would consider myself a funny-man to an extent. I see Naomi as a comedian artist who is making fun of those art-school pretensions. I think I'm really into her because she isn't truly an artist - she's a comedian. You should read her two books - "I Am A Hologram From The Year 2046" and "Ordinary People, Extraordinary Burritos" - because they both give a glimpse into her brain on how she feels about art and everything regarding it. I definitely believe there is valuable substance to her in the realm of comedy. However, I do understand that I am heavily invested in her, and that someone who may not know where she might - because she's never outrightly stated it - be coming from could see her as a silly white rich art school girl who can do whatever she wants without substance.

And to be honest, this is the only reason I got into PC Music. I accidentally stumbled upon Hannah Diamond and liked her music, but didn't look into the rest. This was when no one knew if any of them were real or who they were or anything. But what hooked me was when they started finally appearing from the darkness and it seemed as if these people like A.G. and Danny and whatnot were simply making this music as a comedy to actual pop music. That whole term "post-ironic pop music" - I was actually one of the people who were like "hell yeah, that's so cool" (although now apparently this community gives shit to the people who believed that, according to some of the posts I have read). I understand that A.G. and SOPHIE have both refuted that, and I have to accept that, but it doesn't change that the only reason I am here today is because I totally felt as if this entire record label was a complete joke and was just providing commentary on pop music without telling anyone so they could see how far it would go. I thought that was such a good comedy event that not even traditional comedians (stand-up, improv, obvious jokes, whatever) could garner up enough valuable substance to compete because it took people who completely understood the target (pop music) AND the predator (PC Music) opposed to just understanding a relatable joke. It wasn't necessarily a direct and outright physical "haha" moment - I wasn't sitting here actually laughing each time a song of PCMs came out - but something so long-running and intricate that the comedy almost became a legitimate art. I have no clue if I'm making sense and I know someone might read this and be like "fucking idiot" but like this is so interesting to me because this is the kind of comedy I'm into, I guess.
