While I wasn't totally sold on like....3 of the tracks, the new Rosalia album, "LUX" is truly an incredible work of scoring, intertextuality, and references. The interplay of using words in different languages to color our perception of the meaning of the sentence is fascinating to me.

Experiencing writer’s block? Try being trapped in a villa with Lord Byron! You won’t regret being trapped in a villa with Lord Byron.
Screenshot of a tumblr post: bluecoolkind: pop culture intertextuality is just so damn *fascinating* today a parody movie (50 shades of black) comes out, based on the 50 shades of grey movie, which was based on the 50 shades book, which was based on twilight, which was somewhat based on interview with the vampire (which anne rice based on an earlier short story she wrote), which was based on Dracula and other vampire stories, which originally came from Dr. John Polidori's The Vampyre (even though Vampires were a thing in folk tales before then, he was the one who made them all classy, etc.) so really, like so many things, this is all Lord Byron's fault. theaudientvoid: It is kinda funny how two different staples of the horror genre (the vampire and the mad scientist/monster combo) both have their origins in the horrifying experience of being trapped in a cabin with Lord Byron.
