Okay okay we all know Johnny cash did his cover of Hurt and we were all like “ok he owns that now” but I watched the music video he made and I’m like “oh he OWNS it owns it”

It’s totally wild to me because most people agree that Trent Reznor is a master of his craft and Hurt is considered one of NIN’s best songs. Imagine having this great hit and 8 years later a musical legend who hasn’t done anything great in a long time and is ostensibly dying takes your song and fucking. Just fucking obliterates you

Taken from the Wikipedia page. Even Trent Reznor said it's not his song anymore.

in case you hadn't seen

Holy hell that's video is…painful and stunning. If you grew up listening to Johnny Cash I think it'll hit even harder. And June Carter Cash is in the video, which takes hard and doubles it.

#i remember my friend vali saying#why is anyone trying to make songvids to this song?#the most emotionally gutting video has already been made#by johnny cash himself (@bossymarmalade)

I'm glad people who didn't know who are discovering it's a cover, not just because Trent Reznor deserves that much, but because I think the fact that Cash did not write it is crucial to the power of his version. This is a young man's song about suffering, about addiction and self-destruction in youth. And Cash is, in the most majestic possible way, taking that and going "oh kid, you have no idea", and changes the meaning without changing the lyrics (except for a single word). In his voice, on his face, in his aged hands on the guitar and piano, it becomes about the agonising brevity of life, the irretrievability of mistakes, and the inevitable loss of everything, including a recognisable self. But the creativity of repurposing only shows if you can still see what was originally there.

'When you try your best, but you don't succeed When you get what you want, but not what you need When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone, but it goes to waste Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you'

Here's a comparison video between two pieces of the same cat! I started hand embroidery at the beginning of 2023, and seeing them side by side is my favorite. Enjoy!

Those EYES?!?!

I know everyone is busy screaming about history, but I would like to casually remind everyone of the gift that no one has talked about enough. this is magical and amazing and none of you have appreciated it enough so HERE now you can watch/listen on repeat like me

Holy Jesus I got chills

Capilla Sixtina

Sistine Chapel

This video is the closest thing I've seen to actually viewing the chapel in person, because holy shit the pictures do NOT do it justice.

When we did our Vatican tour and were about to enter the Sistine Chapel, our guide kept stressing that we would be looking at a flat ceiling. Which baffled me because come on, doesn't everyone know that? I mean the whole point is that it's flat, that's why Michelangelo put all those paintings on it. And then we went inside.

Oh. God.

Arms and legs were reaching down towards us. The "columns" couldn't look more like actual marble if they tried. The Biblical scenes were less like two-dimensional scenes and more like windows into an entirely different world. It was the most extraordinary, most convincing tromp l'oeil this side of Wile E. Coyote disguising a rock face as a train tunnel.

Yes, it was busy. Yes, the guards will get pissy if you take photos or speak in anything above the slightest whisper. But Michelangelo did some really impressive shit in that chapel.

(Also some Vatican bigwig complained about the Last Judgement fresco when Michelangelo was painting it, so he included a portrait of the critic as Minos getting his balls bitten off by a snake, which is a magnificently petty move.)

IT'S FLAT‽

I knew about the passive aggressive bit, but... wow. Amazing.

Here's to all the burnouts.

I'm not sure what to name this one but it is working well! Another oil lamp. It's a figure about twice the size of the mythology series figures.

Legend has it she still flops around ireland👀
