“Spin the Bottle” by the Juliana Hatfield Three is so good (and we’ve already talked about how “Glass Vase Cello Case” is one of the ultimate sex songs)
transparently: i leapt out of my proverbial seat seeing the notification for this post scroll across my screen—i've been OBSESSED with this movie since i saw it!!! (as a grungy transfem, loving this film is obligatory /hj)
and as a super zoomer, i'm resonating so strongly with EVERYTHING you're saying about finding pieces of yourself in music , ESPECIALLY indie grrrl/femme music ! like, bark your head off dog , and frances' voice specifically actually shifted something in me when i first heard them. like, "think i should stop checking myself out / in the windows of cars / when i could see my future in her pictures of relatives" is such trans girl MATERIAL, i can't even. other folks like that for me are caroline polachek (shoutout to the isttvg ost again <3), the beths / elizabeth stokes, alvvays / molly rankin, illuminati hotties / sarah tudzin, jane remover, bladee & ecco2k, angel olsen—aghh so many!! but yes i get you completely . sidebar: an ex-friend once said my music taste was "lesbian camp counselor" and it's the best thing he's ever said (😈) .
and i'm so happy someone else noticed this about the ost!!!! it felt like a lot of my femme angel inspos specifically got tapped for the ost, like even yeule as my fave nb legend is so inspiring!! like ughhhh jane schoenberg GOT it. like. probably cuz we share some important background deets. but. yk.
and woah. what you said about children's wide-eyedness serving as a gateway to new futures was SCARY cuz i said almost the same thing to a friend this week chatting about it!! love all the brain syncing going on !! 🙂↕️🙂↕️🤩 god i love this movie.
You didn't exactly say this, but the idea that a vibe can *be* a subculture sys so much about how outcasts and minorities construct, in their hearts, queer or (if not "queer" ["I think I like TV shows"] at least *their own*) spaces.
Also, yay Soul Coughing! Related (*en vibe*) artist: Solex.
OH GOD. I don't even know how to respond to this. My heart hurts, literally. But in the best and saddest and sweetest way. You know how deep I dive into the world of nostalgia and to see and hear and feel them all gathered is truly holy ground.
Predictably… this has killed me omggggg… “Walking After You” and “Got You Where I Want You” and the whole Great Expectations soundtrack still send chills down my spine
I remember you posting about Great Expectations once and was so happy to see that—I feel like that one didn’t get as much love as some of these others. We were definitely kindred music spirits!!!

Just finished your essay on this and of course we both wanted to write about the music!!!! I still need to see People’s Joker 🫡
"Spin the Bottle" is one that still pops into my head often, even all these years later :)

"Lesbian camp counselor" should be a category at a record store, that is where I would go immediately lol.!!
And yay for brain synching! So stoked to be connecting about music and movies with you, new friend!

"I think I like TV shows" was such a good line!!!!
I will have to check out Solex, never heard them! But if it's Soul Coughing-like, I will be into it....
