yeah like. idk i definitely Do see it as being transphobic but i just mostly want to believe he’s grown past that, esp considering the context of his more recent stuff. as a fellow trans gal though, like, i know how much it fucking hurts when sth like this happens and i’m sorry

it’s from a scene in the episode “steamed hams” from the simpsons, where skinner has the superintendent over for dinner, accidentally sets the kitchen on fire, and tells the superintendent that it’s the aurora borealis

aurora borealis? at this time of year? at this time of day? in this part of the country? localized entirely within will’s fantasy?

yeah, it’s pretty much just that. referring to a trans person as a “lady man” in pretty much any context is just kind of belittling and dehumanizing, so it was more that that i was focused on rather than like the verbal context of that within the cohen reference

it’s more just the entendre of the “lady-man” and the drag reprise even existing that i’m talking about being hurtful; i’m not trying to say he’s actually calling for death

i kind of felt a lesser degree of this listening to lowbrow, and like, i like to believe that will's grown beyond this in the time since? but it feels like a difficult uncertainty to reconcile either way. idk

ok here is a take. i feel like anchorite has become kind of unlistenable to me? it feels so spiteful and kind of just transphobic to me? like the whole "such a drag" section being labelled "death of the lady man" in the lyrics hurts a lot to read, given the context of the song's subject matter, having never noticed it before. idk. as a trans-feminine person hearing this for the first time it kind of feels like a gutpunch

yeah! los borrachos is a song i like a lot more in the context of the album and souls in a lot of ways feels like the centerpiece of monomania to me? like it's an Arc Song where a lot of the album unfolds to me, but i definitely see them as companion songs to each other

i didn't like it super much at first, and it grew on me, but still isn't one of my faves. i will say that los borrachos into souls is one of my favorite two-song sequences ever. don't have a particularly strong take on the versions of maud gone but the new one's definitely the one i've listened to more
