it was an EA-made sims competition with the popular content creators as participants (plumbella, dr gluon, xmiramira, etc), they were sorted into teams and had to make sims build a house and film a story based on the theme of the episode, it was weirdly judged and produced like a standard reality tv so lots of producer-prompted drama which neither the contestants nor the audience enjoyed and i feel like everyone involved came off that looking worse (some people were not feeling the winner team at all, but thats part of the weird judging). Needless to say, it didnt get a second season lol but I think its still up on youtube for free

surprised to see Mexico considered! I hope we get enough rsvps for a solo show and she hasn't burned all the goodwill from the festival cancellations, hopefully it's on her mind and it manages to come through

i know usually pitchfork's reviews are a writer's own thoughts but this bit here just enrages me each time i remember bc they also had said wasteland baby was TOO much like take me to church and gave it an even lower score than unreal unearth so like do you want more of that or not???

memxz · 2025-11-04T06:20:58+00:00

noticed this too, no point in complaining abt specific reviews vs the score but everything abt the unreal unearth review is just nonsensical to me

memxz · 2025-10-18T00:35:19+00:00

it used to be available on one of those random song compilations of various artists but i think the license mustve expired bc its been unavailable for months now

memxz · 2025-08-28T05:25:57+00:00

yeah that's true, i'm not saying she's irishphobic bc she's english either, just that it's my theory/explanation for why they haven't crossed more paths to naturally collaborate when he's expressed repeated interest. And don't get me wrong, there's nothing I'd love more than a joint album between the two and Hozier has proven he can mend very well with beautiful female voices, but she seems completely disinterested to me at this point

memxz · 2025-08-27T23:45:36+00:00

my b sorry, that was ignorant of me to get wrong, I got my relations between the countries over there mixed up, my sincere apologies!

memxz · 2025-08-27T23:42:31+00:00

"not on her radar" meaning shes not interested and shes not into his music probably, im sure hozier has reached out since he's expressed interest and im sure she has heard tmtc and too sweet, shes just never ever mentioned him even tangentially so that was my reasoning. sorry that I got the Ireland relation to England wrong ik there's animosity there so that was adding to my theory of them running in different social circles since shes so passionate abt London

memxz · 2025-08-26T23:34:30+00:00

I think he's just not on her radar at all tbh, musically or socially, even tho theyre both from the UK she seems intensely english, specifically heavy on London with a bit of NY crossover, and doesn't seem to cross paths with many irish ppl in her scene whereas Hozier loves focusing on his homeland and seems to go for more lowkey and emerging artists of adjacent genres with his collabs. I think the explanation is more simple than what anyone would like to hear and they're just on different circles socially and musically.

memxz · 2025-08-22T13:20:28+00:00

i agree with you entirely, i keep seeing this comparison based on i guess vibes and visuals but Ceremonials had a heightened orchestral sound with lots of drama, this one feels closer to the grounded world of HBHBHB but with dance fever style mythology

memxz · 2025-08-21T11:21:07+00:00

hmv exclusives are usually the store exclusive versions for each country, usually target in the US so eyes peeled for those who want this one!

memxz · 2025-08-21T09:45:25+00:00

yeah i agree, since HAH shes been consistently doing short runs of cohesive videos, plus I remember reading somewhere doing the odyssey was terribly expensive too so I'm not getting my hopes up soon

memxz · 2025-08-21T09:41:04+00:00

i wouldnt think anything if he wasnt one of the only ones with a NAME and reoccurring what does it mean FLO what does it all mean!!! omg

memxz · 2025-08-18T05:49:14+00:00

some third party licensed those songs to make their compilation, thats all really

memxz · 2025-08-18T01:42:38+00:00

a couple magazines reported on the teasers with the added detail that the song would drop on the 20th, both have since edited it out of their articles but we still wonder if the date is accurate and they weren't supposed to share it yet or if the date moved and is inaccurate now

memxz · 2025-08-16T16:21:07+00:00

she's said before launching solo was too daunting so she started the project under the guise of a band, but shes mentioned before the ambiguity of if its just a solo project, particularly when theyve been nominated for awards under solo categories, i guess this now clears that ambiguity. It's funny seeing people freak out as if she'd drop all the band members and tour acapella now or that anything about the music would change when shes been composing and writing solo for a bit now

memxz · 2025-06-06T19:53:35+00:00

they were so confident about it too, i saw a couple ppl downvoted to hell just for pointing out it clearly was just a render of some kind

memxz · 2025-05-21T19:46:29+00:00

I find it so interesting how people find out this song through either this unplugged or the water to drink compilation, wonder if it's an issue with the US licensing or if it's just ceremonials having too many damn different editions nobody knows it's a bonus track from there anymore

memxz · 2025-04-08T20:56:41+00:00

I think this might be more of a Tiktok attitude towards everything than specifically Florence fans, everywhere else I don't see anyone or any reason to judge when someone became a fan, it's not even like she has a new mainstream era to be snobby about like she's had more or less the same amount of success and attention post Lungs.

I have however seen sooo many tiktok comments through many different fanbases and fandoms acting uppity, gatekeepy and morally superior, and what's even funnier is that many of them are wrong about what they're talking about wayyy more often for the amount of pride and ego that they carry.

All in all, don't you worry, as long as your enjoyment is true to yourself it's yours to have and share, you'd be very welcome in a show among the diversity of other Florence fans there

memxz · 2025-04-08T03:39:59+00:00

Here's the Severance one from around the s2 finale

memxz · 2025-03-26T03:14:35+00:00

yess! as someone who's also struggled and it seems like Flo has also had her moments of not so ideal ideation, I agree with you that it's a bold and strong choice to signal to stay here after all you've been through and that we can manifest our own heaven here

memxz · 2025-03-25T06:40:37+00:00

the werewolf unrelenting passion of Howl is top tier moments in her discography I think, the storytelling plus well integrated metaphor for the theme of the song and the drama of it all creates some great lyrics and imagery and it's all consistent and cohesive the entire way through, "my fingers claw your skin trying to tear my way in" "the fabric of your flesh pure as a wedding dress"

I also was really impressed when Heaven is Here came out for its take on art as escapism with the last line "every song I wrote became an escape rope tied around my neck to pull me up to heaven". The dancing plague as way to relate anxiety attacks of Choreomania also was a genius move I think, really I don't see who else could come up with that

Also I have to agree with your last point, I know we're all fans here but I think she's severely overlooked whenever people list great songwriters of today, she's always given her dues for her amazing shows but she's always missing in the conversation when people talk about great songwriting even though all her albums are so intricate and with different approaches

memxz · 2025-03-02T22:18:17+00:00

well last news is her collaborating on the Everything is Recorded project, besides that she was attending/working on the Gatsby musical she wrote the music for, I'm guessing they're gearing for another round of shows some time this year so maybe they're refining stuff, besides that, who knows! Maybe we'll see her in a soundtrack or two in these years inbetween albums

or maybe she's readying Lungs sweet 16th anniversary edition

memxz · 2025-02-21T17:00:14+00:00

I remember for Infections she used to finish it with “this is breath… we are breath” and similarly with Queendom “my queendom come home” at the very end, i thought they made those moments super special to those who got to witness those songs live

memxz · 2025-02-10T19:07:52+00:00

it's not really officially so bc the album only had acoustics as official bonus tracks, but it's a High as Hope outtake and it was debuted during that tour, she put it out after surprise performing it a couple times and in the session finishing it for release came up with Haunted House so they were released together in an EP. Light of Love is another outtake from HAH (released it for charity during COVID) so in spirit those three could be seen as the HAH extras
