yesterday evening d made some off-hand reference to me disliking imogen heap, which in one sense is understandable because i dislike many people/musicians and make over-emphatic statements to d about that all the time, but in this case it didn't resonate with me because besides knowing imogen heap's name and that she did some kind of electronic pop, i didn't know anything about her and couldn't name one of her songs, and so i'm thankful for the lovely looped landscapes of her song "
just for now", and especially for the live versions of the song
by heap fan ariana grande (seven years ago, in a little bedroom in the retro intimacy of standard definition, playing "foot petals" with her hands) and
heap herself (the layers and the galloping rhythm as it builds and builds). i'm thankful for when it turns out i like something instead of disliking it.
