speaking of bleak. that sort of rock/grunge-influenced pop thing of the late 90s qualifies as cheese i think. i mean natalie imbruglia was in neighbours. and the vocal production and strings are on the cheesy end. 'bleeding is breathing', a song about child abuse (from the perspective of a child) on the radio. production totally changed between the early 90s and the late 90s, really striking

dido picks up a lot of these strands but by the early 00s that vocal production thing where they sound like they're yawning is all over it, late 90s pop is much crisper. and with dido you get this turn towards introspection and consideration and life advice. she's very therapy inflected. probably coz she's the kind of person rich enough to get therapy in 2001. whereas a lot of the 90s is more about expression of feelings i think. i think it was good when eminem and dido invented autofiction on Stan

One thing thats good about shaka is he just likes any old shit. He just eats everything on his plate. Its a provincial quality i think. Craner had it with regard to music. You take what youre given.

Did you have to pay for therapy in England in 2001? The NHS was in a better state back then.
