The Small Death and Codeine Scene

my heart's in atrophy

My son, who didn’t want to admit he liked Hozier, performing Cherry Wine at the local UKM (Youth and culture meets), he qualified to the next level. Yes, he fudged the lyrics a bit, but tbh I was the only one who noticed, and he'll have more time to practice before the next outing.

Holy crap.

WELP, that ends my account.

Qobuz is the most ethical alternative to spotify and even tidal (tidal is just pandora radio in a different font; you can't curate playlists, which i absolutely fucking hate, but you can curate playlists on qobuz, and the royalties they pay to their artists are far larger than spotify) that i've been able to find, thanks to this post on instagram by singer-songwriter laura burhenn. the post also lists other alternatives, including tidal, but qobuz is by far the best of the lot. they even have a free feature called soundiiz where you can transfer all of your playlists from spotify to qobuz!

Worth a reblog for this great info.

Hozier finally said something about how stupid people sound when they reduce him to mystical forest bullshit so they can ignore his Black inspirations FINALLY

Full interview:

Good to know!

There's really no excuse for people to ignore the man's debt to Black American artists. He's made it as plain as he possibly can, right from his debut with "Take Me to Church". I'm white, I'm a huge fan of Hozier, I'm an early adopter *g*, and I can't help but think that a lot of fans are just willfully ignoring the facts.
