"content": "\u003cp>Last week marked 20 years since Selena, the Queen of Tejano, was murdered. Many fans, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2015/03/31/remembering-selena-20-years-after-her-death/\">including myself\u003c/a>, wrote essays about why Selena has been able to transcend our culture's propensity to treat its entertainers as disposable. Some reasons: she made people who weren’t used to being represented feel seen, she redefined the word “mainstream” to encompass Latino culture, her music is unlike anything that was or is, etc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I still listen to Selena on the daily.

It was all so natural and it’s crazy to think of how it evolved. We were both studying International Affairs. That was our main focus and then Louie studied Jazz and I did Italian and Dance on the side, but we were both very concerned with political science and history and the state of our world at large.

Brat pop to us is rebellious pop music. It uses familiar themes, sounds and hooks to lure people in, but then challenges the listener.

No, it was not intentional. The song was completely done and recorded months before we knew it was going to be in the Apple Watch commercial. I don’t know if I will ever want to create art for the sole purpose of an advertisement. It seems like that would kind of be demeaning for the art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Since graduating from GWU, you have established yourselves in LA.

We're still very far from where we would like to be, but it's a privilege and dream come true to be able to make art full time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Five years from now, I think Liz and I would like to establish HOLYCHILD to a point where we could collaborate with anyone in any capacity. Whether it be making music in a completely different genre, or doing some live performance art, or directing music videos/films (Liz directs our music videos). Another dream of ours is to make a LOT of money through HOLYCHILD and give it all away to public education. Personally, nothing else would make me happier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Okay, this next question is for Louie, a Bay Area native. Do you have any words of wisdom for young local musicians?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Louie:\u003c/strong> Yeah! When looking back at my time cutting my teeth on the local Bay Area music scene, I would recommend just having no fear in putting yourself out there, whether it be artistically with your songs and recordings, or professionally (i.e. picking up the phone and calling all the live music venues and promoters in town to play a show). Unless you have your parents or someone else doing all that for you, no one is going to do all this grunt work for you. It is all up to you! I started doing all the above when I was 13 or 14 years old and feel so lucky to have been based out of the Bay at the time, since the culture there is so amazingly supportive and nourishing of the arts (especially local artists). You can't really go wrong trying to do something creative there.\u003c/p>\n\n",

What’s in store for the next five?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Louie:\u003c/strong> We actually have only been in LA for just over two years so it's kind of crazy to think about where we were when we first moved here in the fall of 2013, and where we are now. We're still very far from where we would like to be, but it's a privilege and dream come true to be able to make art full time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Five years from now, I think Liz and I would like to establish HOLYCHILD to a point where we could collaborate with anyone in any capacity. Whether it be making music in a completely different genre, or doing some live performance art, or directing music videos/films (Liz directs our music videos). Another dream of ours is to make a LOT of money through HOLYCHILD and give it all away to public education. Personally, nothing else would make me happier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Okay, this next question is for Louie, a Bay Area native.

When looking back at my time cutting my teeth on the local Bay Area music scene, I would recommend just having no fear in putting yourself out there, whether it be artistically with your songs and recordings, or professionally (i.e. picking up the phone and calling all the live music venues and promoters in town to play a show). Unless you have your parents or someone else doing all that for you, no one is going to do all this grunt work for you. It is all up to you! I started doing all the above when I was 13 or 14 years old and feel so lucky to have been based out of the Bay at the time, since the culture there is so amazingly supportive and nourishing of the arts (especially local artists). You can't really go wrong trying to do something creative there.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Or did they realize that the song they picked by Etta James, the Beatles, Van Morrison, and/or Frank Sinatra for their otherwise unique ceremony is one that more than a few of the guests have heard at five of the last six weddings they’ve attended?

How exactly is that respecting artistry? And that #TIDALforAll hashtag would be more accurate if it was #TIDALforAllWhoCanAfford$20PerMonth. The whole thing just doesn't fly with me, which is why I hereby declare that I only care about one Tidal and it is Fiona Apple's debut album.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Listening party! Let's start at the beginning, shall we?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">1. \"Sleep to Dream\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9Wnh0V4HMM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The album starts with deep beats, like something wicked this way comes. It's a perfect introduction to Fiona Apple, someone who does not mince words or play around. The song is a biting kiss-off, the kind of song you blast when some jerk breaks your heart. An entire relationship's worth of frustration put into verse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Best bit:\u003c/strong> \"You say love is a hell you cannot bear\u003cbr>\nAnd I say gimme mine back and then go there for all I care.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">2. \"Sullen Girl\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlhiTn4kVDw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This song is a beautiful doozy. Apple deals with the aftermath of being raped by a stranger when he was 12 and how it caused an identity crisis and a shift in people's perception of her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I felt like 'Well, I used to be this really lighthearted person. And I am a lighthearted person, but everyone looks at me and they think I'm really serious and depressed and sullen. Do I come off that way because of this experience?'...So that's when it started getting bad, when people started assuming that things were bad and started labeling me as a sick person.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, too many stories of women who have survived rape are questioned, scrutinized and ignored, so it's refreshing to hear such an honest proclamation from Apple on the subject almost 20 years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Best bit:\u003c/strong> \"And there's too much going on\u003cbr>\nBut it's calm under the waves, in the blue of my oblivion\u003cbr>\nUnder the waves in the blue of my oblivion.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">3. \"Shadowboxer\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnXjISlKLuE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An ode to a pitfall most of us are familiar with: trying to be friends with an ex. Spoiler: it usually doesn't work out. In Fiona's case, it turned her into a shadowboxer, always on edge, waiting for her ex to make a move and open up old wounds. Lesson: you have enough friends!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Best bit:\u003c/strong> \"Once my lover, now my friend\u003cbr>\nWhat a cruel thing to pretend.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">4. \"Criminal\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFOzayDpWoI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The song that launched her career and inspired countless fans to slink around their bedrooms in their underwear. The song is about seeking help for devilish, heartbreaking ways. Iconic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Best bit:\u003c/strong> \"I've got to make a play\u003cbr>\nTo make my lover stay\u003cbr>\nSo what would an angel say the devil wants to know.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">5. \"Slow Like Honey\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn75ADfx09A\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This slow burn of a song was the first one Fiona wrote for \u003cem>Tidal\u003c/em>. The first time I heard that, it made total sense. While not as fully developed as some of the other tracks on the album, it sets the tone and feels like a compass, pointing in the direction she's headed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Best bit:\u003c/strong> \"Gonna hover over your life\u003cbr>\nGonna keep you reaching\u003cbr>\nWhen I'm gone like yesterday\u003cbr>\nWhen I'm high like heaven\u003cbr>\nWhen I'm strong like music.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">6. \"The First Taste\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiuk0z8dzXo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You know that feeling when someone is into you, and you are so down, but they refuse to make the first move? So does Fiona. Thanks to the meek and cowardly, we get to have this awesome song and its '90s house party music video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Best bit:\u003c/strong> \"I do not struggle in your web\u003cbr>\nBecause it was my aim to get caught\u003cbr>\nBut daddy longlegs, I feel that I'm finally growing weary\u003cbr>\nOf waiting to be consumed by you.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">7. \"Never Is A Promise\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5XptSCCciU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This one could be about feeling let down by someone or about that moment you realize that someone you thought understood you actually doesn't get you at all. What I know for sure is that I played this song on repeat during much of my freshman year, when I was moodier than ever and feeling wronged by everyone and everything. Oh, memories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Best bit:\u003c/strong> \"My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">8. \"The Child Is Gone\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TPMoNwclWs\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A loss of innocence has never sounded so good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Best bit: \u003c/strong>\"Darling, give me your absence tonight\u003cbr>\nTake the shade from the canvas and leave me the white.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">9. \"Pale September\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJgL7j4SNsU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of us have built fortresses around ourselves and are always ready to brawl due to past experiences, but then someone comes along and inspires us to drop our arms and call the war off. Aw!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Best bit:\u003c/strong> \"But then he rose, brilliant as the moon in full\u003cbr>\nAnd sank in the burrows of my keep\u003cbr>\nAnd all my armor falling down, in a pile at my feet.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center\">10. \"Carrion\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkCxHR2Fv7E\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, we stay entangled with someone who is bad for us, but eventually that day comes when we realize they suck and it's time to bounce. Then we write a song or poem about it and title it after the decaying flesh of dead animals. Closure!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Best bit: \u003c/strong>\"My feel for you, boy, is decaying in front of me\u003cbr>\nLike the carrion of a murdered prey.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what have we learned? If you guessed \"Tidal, the music service, is nothing and \u003cem>Tidal\u003c/em>, the album, is everything!\", you're right! If you really want to support artistry, take the $20 Jay Z is asking for and give it to Fiona Apple instead.\u003c/p>\n\n",
