I’m obsessed with Red Balloon. From time to time I get fixated on a specific track or song or movement. This song sounds like it could be on The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour. The chromatic sliding synths and the psychedelic oscillations in the background and the brass section, plus that weird twirling chord progression in the post chorus are a mind trip. It’s sound candy that fills my mind with colors. I love the fast 32nd tom or kick pumps in the verses they kick me butt goodly. Yes, I said kick me butt. The lyrics are bubblegum but they fit in with the themes of late Beatles more like Paul less like John, less subversion. I have no idea who wrote this song or produced it. It’s really really really excellent. Charli XCX has got a good thing going. And she’s so hotdamn beautiful, we’d have the best musical wonderbabies. They’d be the coolest cutest superstars.
I don’t have a problem with my weight, because I educated myself about carbohydrate metabolism and fat burning and storage mechanisms. From my simple understanding, it’s not that difficult to regulate. It’s not genetics. There are individual differences of course and there are various health disorders and derangements especially if you’ve been screwing yourself for way too long, but for the vast majority of us I don’t think those are major factors. Yes, there are toxic obesogens that screw with the endocrine system, I hear that, but I think metabolism and can be mostly regulated pretty simply by dialing up fat and dailing down carb intake. And there’s no willpower involved. Oh my god I love my pasta I gotta have my cookie, I can’t start the day without oatmeal. When then shutup and enjoy being a fatso. I love massive bowls of coconut cream with chocolate and berries (and because I’m fat adapted, with a nice sexy carby banana, ONCE a day), huge chunks of greasy pernil, bacon by the pound, chicken wings by the 15 count, and I don’t have these problems. I used to be a fat pig. I had back fat. It’s not genetics. But I’m not a teacher. I am not going to diet coach people. I just wanted to say that.
I keep listening to Red Balloon, I’m hooked like a fish on a bowl of crackworms.
