 In the autumn of 2023, I went through the worst breakup of my life.

Piece By Piece Movie Review

 A review of Piece by Piece (2024), dir. Morgan Neville.

They did downplay Chad's impact, but not as much as I was anticipating. They definitely downplayed Pharrell's relationship with Timbaland. He's like, "Yeah we went to the same school," when they're cousins. 

Timeline was a little confusing, like, they pretend that "Drop It Like It's Hot" is the first Pharrell / Snoop collab, but they acknowledge "Beautiful" later in the movie. And they talk about "Blurred Lines" (from 2013) (🤮) before Clipse's Till The Casket Drops (2009).

Speaking of Clipse, where is Malice?

5/10, not enough Cudi.

 

Top 10 Albums of 2019

2019 was an oasis in the desert. Call it a renaissance. The charts had been mostly depressing for three years; 2019 came out swinging with a bright, optimistic mood that even the most cynical oldhead couldn't help but appreciate. The songs getting played on the radio were the best they had been in years, with new acts Lil Nas X and Billie Eilish topping the charts and influencing the charts to this day. "Old Town Road" and "Bad Guy" were a nice complement to the more dark tracks that had stuck around, and old acts had brightened up too. Typical sludge loser Post Malone decided to sound happy for the first time with "Sunflower" and "Circles," both massive hits. Panic! At The Disco likewise returned to the top 10 with "High Hopes" and "Hey Look Ma, I Made It." These songs may not be good, but they reflect a great optimism that seems strange and almost naive knowing what was to come the following year. None of these names will be appearing on this Top 10 list; I hate happiness. Even so, I think the overall sound of this year can be categorized in a distinct binary between happiness and despair. These two themes will be recurring in my retrospective of 2019.
