Got an email containing a guy’s theory about my mashup album.

Hey so I noticed some things in Double Dutch Part 2 that I was wondering if you did on purpose.

Specifically, there seems to be a narrative about the tension between the sexes/genders, power struggles, and desire.

In “Here We Go” you use the “here we go” sample from Hey Arnold, and then it transitions into “Here It Goes” by OKGO. This seems to signal the start of the narrative/fight.

I did a little image series a few years ago about identity/identification and mythology but I had to type in tags/titles to get through the glitter text generator, and I liked the screenshots of those better than the actual images.
