Heard "This Must Be the Place" on the radio this morning and was reminded of this @pcoviell essay from @hypedonmelanch1, which I love: https://t.co/LCI7JzApV0
this final paragraph in 'accidental collectives' on the dancefloor, capitalism, and chromatica by rithika ramamurthy in @hypedonmelanch1 is just brill imo
“Withdrawing from the self can be exhilarating when there are others to share it with, and both electronic and classical music can give that strange joy a social shape.”
Read @rithika_ram on the ecstatic order of form & Lady Gaga, for Hyped. @ladygaga

"Sometimes, though, you don't choose the playlist—it chooses you."
Read @marylmull, on communal listening and Bodypump, for Hyped.

“Because the phantasmatic insistence that forever’s gonna start tonight embodies the impossible hope that we might never need to relinquish an equally impossible desire. Rather than giving up ourselves, the world might budge instead.”
