Blood Blister Sisters: fuck up / triumph mix
I went to another tUnE-yArDs show a couple of weeks ago and I was very much in love with Merrill Garbus again. “She’s so triumphant,” my friend Molly said. Yes! Triumphant. That is a word I hadn’t connected to Merrill Garbus before, but it fits her so well; it is a word that I think encompasses what I like about a lot of the music I listen to. Triumphant or exposed somehow, because I also like people who just spill those guts out. Let the world know they’re a fuck up sometimes, too. I think there’s a lot of power in letting yourself be great or grumpy. Loud or happy or wild or chill or rotten. Flawed and complicated, stellar and complicated. I made a mix using those themes, loosely (sometimes I just put songs I have liked listening to lately).
