11/01/23: yea it took me 4ever 2 update my fuckin site. yea its november adn i havent even done the best september 2014 albums thing. there was actually a lot of cool shit i wanna talk abt more than 3 albums but I GUESS I WONT. skinny is prolly the best thing to come out of the month and prolly the best thing bones has ever done, it sets up its own unique atmosphere and i dont think anyone in the 2000s wudve expected trap music 2 evolve in something this acoustic sounding and beautiful. father's young hot ebony has stood out 2 me 4 a while cause of how minimal it is, bass is practically the only thing filling in the silence of some of these tracks and the main source of melody 4 them too, its really cool. n then i gotta talk abt rich gang tha tour, young thug was jus unmatched in this era w off the wall energy and weird melodys that hit really hard, tons of vocal experimentation, n rich homie quan does great too as a more level headed kinda rapper

ive been getting back in2 releasing shit n w/e, i put up a music video like a week n a half ago n a mixtape on the 27th, i made that shit jus cuz i needed 2 get back in2 the workflow. idk shits jus been starting 2 click, i think part of it is jus i didnt wanna work on vol iii n im not gonna finish it. it was kinda a rage project w jook drums n shit here n there but i cant get cool rage synths n its dead already anyways. i think a lot of the ideas ive had that i want 2 come 2 fruition r jus too out of my typical element it becomes a chore 2 figure out how 2 make whats in my brain, but recently ive been having loose ideas that i dont have 2 hold 2 some exact standard which will make shit a lot easier and probably better, and definitely more fun

in other news 2day marks 1 year since 300 yen, which is the only album i quite possibly wudnt change anything about. ok some lines i kinda cringe at and some mixing is little iffy, also dedication isnt very good (not 'empty youth') and the guitars in another love leaves do not sound anywhere as melancholic as i wanted them to, but everything feels fully developed and thought through. at an hour long the album takes its time going through a musical and emotional journey but barely any moments overstay their welcome at all, each song going through many subtle changes and if theyre not its made up lyrically. not only that but each song serves its own purpose and has its own sound so its not like the songs themselves may be full of ideas but the album as a whole just repeats those ideas. my rapping wasnt as good as it is now, the flows are pretty basic but theyre usually subtle enough 2 easily pick up every lyric which is pretty important with how the albums sorta conceptual (i put way too mcuh emphasis on the 2015 thing tho, i jus like 2015 and has 2015 vibes is all n most importantly the yen trilogy did that) and pretty much every line of mine that could be considered quotable has landed on this or prelude to 300 yen. i was just really dedicated to making my best music cuz i lowkey thought i wouldnt live past it. thank god it didnt come out in aug 30 like i wanted cuz 1) i was waiting on features and 2) while i was waiting on features i started noticing more flaws n redoing verses n w/e, i was a lot better mentally when it actually came out if it still came out in august n i saw it fail idk where id be rn. i depended my life on that album basically, working on it was the only reason i continued to live and for that reason while i may make better music in the future, i dont think any of it will have as much heart in it as this does. new music videos for it on the way

9/27/23: i get sick like once every year and a half now instead of twice a year but this time its on my trip to boise. WORST TIMING EVER but i guess its common to get sick after flying. can't wait only having to blow my nose 6 or so times a day instead of 100

but yea im heeeeere in boise. i gotta keep myself occupied rn cuz i fuckin hate life at this second so im here. not feelin bad cuz of them its been great it just kicks in even in paradise like this. i shudnt have done coke again tbh, i forgot what the comedown feels like and how desperate it feels and how the feeling just fuckin kicks in if i get reminded of it. i wonder if happier ppl have better comedowns): ima record some mvs today i guess. but its been so good cant believe itll end. I NEEDA GET MY HEAD UP. I LOVE LIFE IM IN A GOOD PLACE GENUINELY. thank god i stick 2 cigs cuz ive been vaping here n its actually hitting cuz im not used to it. i love my friends and i love yeule. i wanna listen to every yeule song again right now

9/16/23: i got this fucking song out yess all my friends have left me vol iii coming soon ive been working on it for a minute, and by working on it for a minute i mean ive been working on it for as long as i usually work on an ep but am way far behind on progress than usual for the amount of time but ima push myself to get it done. that late year vibe is setting in, the motivation from it is coming to me. i gotta get a lot of shit finished b4 i go on vacation, maybe not using these 3 days off to be as productive as i cud. n i got an 8hr shift starting 10am tmrw while ive been getting to bed at 6am (im not trying to!). its gonna suuck but i think lifes bouta get good. seein online friends, makin new music, good ass music bouta come out later in 2014, savin money tryna move soon to a place i dont h8. but i gotta do less talkin more action so ima see yall in another state

SONG OF THE DAY: Club Casualties - Dirt

Listen to Push Away / Absorb

9/12/23: ive been 2 busy with other shit (and also too lazy) to write on here but ima be more present on here and social media from now on. problem is i cant just write in bed n then im done i gotta put that shit in code which is fucked up. im tryna remaster 100 yen and make some new shit.also tbh august for 2014 music SUCKED n i wasnt excited to write about it. i mean young pappy's 2 cups is probbaly the greatest thing i heard yet, super intense drill w a introspective tinge to it that makes it harrowing. but i cudnt find other shit on the same level as the other albums i s/o. still some good shit tho, i guess ill shoutout worlds by porter robinson surprisingly. i never rly liked his music like that cuz i dont rly like his singing or production style that influenced tropes of future edm-influenced pop music i did not care for, but this does show his talent in making super fleshed out songs that feel like a journey and having great synthwork. and then while mick jenkin's the water(s) doesn't interest me in its stonery thing, hes a pretty skilled rapper and its got some lowkey hypnotic beats that have that aquatic feel u wud wish for from the cover and title

anyways i was wrting a post a couple weeks ago n got distracted, this is what i wrote: "you know the more i experience life i realize goddamn.. sober ppl are the strongest people alive. i feel like shit, i feel so bored. im tired of the way i think, im tired of making music, i need ketamine rn jus to get me too see shit thru a different lens and 2 stop feeling my body for 1 second... but i dont have any. cuz im saving money. ive been sober for 6 months and its really like wow i just need something, especially after being in this ugly plain conservative town, but thats why im saving money. im sick of ringing up the same people i dont get along with multiple times a day at the gas station, and the more i go on the more i end up screwing smth up w them and then i get anxious to see them again. i hate having to present myself as male, i hate being called sir by everyone. its not even like drugs spoiled life for me and now because ive experienced how much better they are than real life i crave them, cuz it was worse before i even rly did them. i guess ima jus have to get high here and there for the rest of my life and shake off the temptation to continue immediately after"

to update on that, i did 2cb recently n ive been fine n even stopped fiending cigs (working at a gas station its difficult not to). ig my theory was right. i listened to this mix i made on it (coming out soon) n shit was sick. it was rly weird cuz before 4 closed eye visuals i got more like colours n shapes w 2cb n more realistic but this time it was like cartoony and felt like 2007 animations. it was like the but i got work soon ima have to make this beat, take a long ass shower where i shave my whole body wash my hair andd everything, and try this new kratom tea recipe (not a real drug). see u in a few days?

SONG OF THE DAY: Uncommon Nasa - 574s

8/13/23: im late again!!! sorry. well, late 2 the this month in 2014 thing..cant rly be late in these blog posts. so right ok getting it out the way first ill talk abt partynextdoor - two, insane he did both the production and vocals on this cuz i love them both. hypnotic soundscapes and vocals ranging from lowkey enough to further enhace the atmosphere to passionately singing really catchy melodies. second album i wanna talk about is ruben slikk's diaries of a kokeboss hlord, he goes really hard on this with great flows and silly memorable lyrics. it also has a really interesting beat selection and lo-fi recording that can actually add to the humour, especially when things just abruptly cut out. and then i wanna talk about kevin abstract's mtv1987, a rap album with very prominent pop sensibilities that documents a time in his life better than ive heard almost any artist do. it feels like i can see straight through his eyes. i promise next month ill be on time.

anyways ima tell u abt MY LIFE. well i havent been working much on music, i got a job n its drained the fuck out of my energy. however it gave me the money 2 get a laptop finally so when i jus wanna lay down i can do that and still work on music and whatever, though most of the time i prefer not looking at a screen and just leaving myself to envision what my life wud look like with 0 stresses. i have been demoted (using that in the least negative way) to part-time starting this week cuz ig they work u full time4 a few weeks until uve proven u can handle that, so ill have a bit more time but it kinda sucks cuz i wanna move out of ohio after 6 months of working the job but it might take longer. in miscallenous news, this daddy long legs has been roaming my apartment for several days and ive become very affectionate 2 it, my voting registration n records were randomly erased right b4 the ohio special elections, n my ac stopped working a week ago so sleeping today is physically impossible cuz its 84 degrees even tho its 6am n im so tired. i mean i grew up like this but its been so long its awful now. at least its making the 2014 thing real immersive tho @_@

7/06/23: released a song a week ago called 'sign off' produced by delcada and bl00dslide, got another track produced by them coming up but in the meantime here's just a minute and a half of me spitting basically over this dark beat they gave me. trust me tho the next track we got is much different vibes. im late to promoting it cuuuzzz wellll im not using the laptop ive been using for the past couple years...im on the one i made 100 yen on..and the reason i dont use it is cuz it doesnt even successfully start up most the time n when it does it bluescreens after 10 minutes, its a miracle ive now had it running for over a few hours let alone 24. i was hesitant abt having more than one program open at once so i didnt even try to access my site

what im also late 2 this cuz of this is the 3 albums i recommend this month in 2014!! im late ik ik but the releases were kinda boring and i already know it doesn't compare to the next month, or this month rather. the one album i was super excited to revisit was mackned - aquarian god form and this album was even better than i remembered. its got that dope witch house trap sound i love but also some production that's more clams casino-esque or even in it's own lane. mackned also brings a pretty unique personality, inspired by realizations of how bullshit society n all the things that led to it are and probably a few acid trips. he's borderline philosophical at points but mixes it with flexing and being an artist with big dreams. ilovemakonnen - i love makonnen was a surprising listen (i am talking about the original version, the one on spotify is completely diff). we all know tuesday and i dont sell molly no more but even if u dont like those songs dont worry cuz the ep sounds absolutely nothing like them. one time i heard father say ilovemakonnen getting big cuz of his rap songs was bad cuz he's not a rapper n iwas like "ok now he sings sometimes buut" but no fr this shit is not hip hop its like r&b soft cell with some of the hottest trap producers, even doing some experimenting themselves with their take on other genres. now probably not in my top 3 of this month but still really good and different from the last 2 is zelooperz - help, the beats are weird n minimal n dark and zelooperz has so many different voices n inflections making it pretty exciting to see what he does next, as well as some pretty amusing lyrics. it's not one ull always be in the mood for but if u rly want something out there listen 2 it

6/12/23: got a new music video im telling u its new! for my song 'hollow' off my last ep check it out if u havent, bro i used 2 things of scotch tape 4 this shit. all the scotch tape in my house, gone. the sphex got fucked up cuz i didnt have enough tape to curve the antennaes so the sphex had 2 look a little alert ig. this video was insanely tedious actually holy FUCK! i was filmin this shit for 3 hours and i was hot asf too cuz i was in a jacket inside in the summer. the worst part was emptying out the glowstick juice in the glass, i used about 20 just to get that lil amt u see in the video but thankfully it looks like more in the vid than i actually got jus cuz of it glowing. i had a paper towel and a bunch of folded tissues surrounding the glass that id have to swap out after wipin the scissors w them to make sure none of it squirts onto the floor, and some did squirt on2 the floor! a lil bit! i turned off the light n looked at the ground like u gotta be kidding me... but it looked sick so thats all that matters. i was originally gonna use an ultraviolet light instead of a reg flashlight but the flashlight was borken so it got fixed but then all the options except uv worked, and there was no other flashlights i cud find so i had 2 use a normal 1. it turned out prolly better than the uv light tho, this is prolly my fav video ive ever done. for my fav song off the project 2!

6/04/23: im not jus gonna be talkin abt my music on here anymore tbh fuck that! i made this site ima talk abt whatever the fuck i want!! im the first gen z rapper with a BLOG i better be known 4 that, so ill start off by talkin abt this t-pain clip i saw 2day. he said some real shit even tho idk what specifically he was ranting abt, but like i dont disagree w his general statement. what i hate tho is these damn comments!! i almost started replying 2 them but u cant catch me down there with those ""people"". so many of the comments on some "this is how all of us older ppl feel, music USED to be diverse" shit(the funniest part abt is the kids saying 2014 or 2018 or whatever was the last year of originality when ppl said the same shit back then), theyre mising the damn point! like i swear nobody watches the full vid b4 commenting n they never did. its not a generation thing its an industry thing, t-pain says this in the vid bruh its abt $$$. but the best thing u can do to make music better is stop complaining n actually start lookin 4 these good artists, the industry doesnt give a fuck abt anything unless the artist has a) a lot of money or b) an audience they can capitalize on, so support our shit! u dont gotta put the work in if u not a music fan, but if u not a music fan i dont wanna hear that shit! i have a passion 4 the things that go in2 film but ive barely watched any movies since i graduated n ive never been up to date on the new movies anyways so im not gonna complain abt that shit even if uncut gems is the only movie from the past 5 years i really like. also fuck yall in the comments saying its funny from a guy whos music all sounds the same! listen to church, suicide, n im sprung n tell me those songs are anything alike...but then again thats not the point. he stood out and still wudve at the time even if all his songs sounded like buy u a drank

aside from that ive jus been waking up at 2pm, learning spanish (think i broke my duolingo streak today—fuck!), applying to jobs that never get back 2 me (one store got back to me but they wanted me to work in the meat department and im a vegetarian), n listening to a bunch of music while playing pokemon emerald. it feels great to listen to this much music again but its overall pretty fucking empty and im making 0 progress in life but its difficult to break the cycle. the more i think abt how i released my 2 best projects and a pretty solid one in the last two months of 2022, im realizing how much the routine i had back then paid off and i need to get back in2 that shit now. my last music video kinda sucks and the song is only good in the context of the project, even tho its a dope project. but thats not good enough, i need EVERY song to be fire, i need to make it so ppl click on whatever track jus to skim thru it n go "damn i need to listen to this project soon". clearly that didnt happen w this song cuz shit got a couple dislikes which idgaf abt normally but this time it actually registered in my brain cuz i fuckin agree. so ima wake up at 9am (its almost 5am rn), dump water on myself so i actualy get out of bed, turn my internet off, n set a timer for 8hrs. goodnight!

SONG OF THE DAY: Tampa Tony - Keep Jukin'

5/31/23: just released a music video for the song 'it's crazy', i wanna record music videos 4 some of the other songs on my new ep more (i have like a dozen mvs i wanna make of released songs in general) but this was one i could do at home. i was drinking kratom out of a broken glass in this shit u cant rly tell tho. i removed as much out of my kitchen as i possibly cud so the frame wud be more minimal n fitting with the song.

also damnn i jus realized its the 1 year anniversary of prelude to 300円 god life really has changed so much so shortly. i think that was the first project i started being like actually kinda good at rapping, when i look back at some of my older shit im like damnnn i kinda bit that flow from some1 or fuckkk that melody is from smth else but there's less of that on it. i mean i bit a 2shanez song and probably sybyr on tales of an aspiring hedonist so thats a shame but other than that i think i got a bit better at rhyming and flowing on it, wud call it my first truly good project. god i wanna make a mv 4 epilogue so bad!

anyways its the last day of the month so that means i gotta recommend 3 albums from this month in 2014. the first is mac miller - faces, quite possibly his best project at least from a writing standpoint. mac miller gives a peak into his life from around the time, it has it's emotional highs and lows just like life does but there's definitely more lows, touching on his drug addiction and general mental problems for the most of it. next up i'll recommend princess nokia - metallic butterfly, the original cover for this with hatsune miku fits perfectly with it. an r&b album mixed with y2k electronic music and aesthetics, it's really beautiful stuff that was in ways ahead of its time seeing the amount of artists doing that now e.g. pinkpantheress. lastly i wanna recommend goth money's marcy mane - 30 k diamonds and tears, the mixing on this album is really rough in an interesting way n the atmosphere on this is an example of why i think the mid 2010s was the golden age of soundcloud rap's creativity.

5/22/23: just released the second installment of 'all my friends have left me'! for a second while making it i was thinking 2 myself "this isnt good enough to actually release" but being able to hear it without tweaking the volume and hearing the songs sequentially, im super satisfied with how it turned out. i think my next project will come way sooner, i was pretty stuck trying to figure out where to go w with the project n my sleeping schedule was fucked so i cud barely record. usually i have what i want to do for each track planned but i had no idea anymore and just made a bunch of demos, so it took a while. i hope to get the opportunity to make some mvs for it! getting this done has really inspired me and reminded me how much i love making music

5/01/2023: ayy i jus uploaded a new music video last night that you can check out here.

what im really here for is the first 'last month in 2014' post. basically since the start of the year i've been binging 2014 releases BUT i can until theyd theoretically come out if it were 2014. for example, i can't listen to mac miller faces until may 11th, and i'm trying to not listen to any music after 2014 at all to get the real 2014 experience, though its impossible to completely avoid all music from the past 9 years.

so every month ima pick 3 albums i would recommend. the first is wicca phase - outside yr window. the dark distorted atmosphere and esoteric lyrics was a huge influence on me especially on the 2014 themed project '200 yen', it's a one-of-a-kind experience that did take me a bit to really get into but i started to go back to it more and more because of how unique it is and serves as the perfect midnight album. the next is okina - 発見集, a vocaloid rock project with catchy melodies and eclectic constantly changing instrumentals, maybe the best vocaloid music i've ever heard. last but not least is ratking - so it goes, i've wanted to incorporate footwork elements in my music for forever (you can hear the influence clearly on my first album) and the song protein inspired me to do it again. it's an album all about new york and the beats reflect the density and chaos of the city. and for a song from this month...

SONG OF THE DAY: JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown - God Loves You

3/20/23: im not done with the website but i wanted 2 talk abt it being the 3 year anniversary of my "first" single 'g>o>t>h>i>c>r>o>c>k>' today. i put first in quotations because i released a few quickly made songs before, half being covers. but gothic rock was the first one i spent a long time working on, making 4 different renditions of it starting january. it is technically the first single in two ways though: 1, it is the first one i released on soundcloud and 2, it marked a new chapter in aliases. marietta medicine used to be just an overarching alias for everything i do and every project the artist was named something like winter's lonely, the season being whatever season the song was released in. gothic rock however was released under winters lonely orchestra, resembling the multi layered production as opposed to the simplistic stuff i was doing. i consider there to be three first releases, served enough (11/28/19), this one, and u wanted revolution (11/27/20), where i started going by marietta medicine at all times and started my prolific run, also with a much higher quality microphone.

despite it representing a more ambitious and focused shift, the song is terrible. i recorded w my phone mic w no knowledge of what compression is so the vocals constantly shift between too loud n too quiet as i look away from the phone. idek if i put the vocals on beat, everytime i sing its completely off beat n when im rapping u can hear me stumble my words. the song has random unnecessary sections, the outro being the worst where i put out of key 808s on a hum song while i sing completely tone deaf over the already existing vocals. but its still very special to me n i listen to it whenever i think of it. partly because of the really strange dreamlike atmosphere, but mostly cuz of the place i was in

being released on march 20, the state wasnt actually in lockdown yet, some businesses were closed due to the coronavirus, n i was called off school for a 2 week break on the 13th. the pandemic was a life changing moment 4 every1 n its interesting to hear back when we had no idea how bad it was gonna get completely uncertain of everything. in my case it happened when when i felt like i started to really take control of my life n was on the path to start living the life i wanted to. i can also remember walking to my best friends house directly after releasing it, barely seeing him again after that n no longer in contact with him as a result of the pandemic. its sad but at the same time if it werent for the isolation that plagues me as a result of it, i probably wudnt have even 1/8 the discography i have right now, nor would i have had the time to find out so much about the scenes and styles of music that helped me find my own style. i cant help but think how much happier i wud be if the pandemic never happened but ill never kno what its like n all i can do is appreciate the bizarre era that it was n what i learned from it <3
