Alfo Media

Hi! I'm Harrison and I like to make videos. I mainly discuss indie music, hip hop, and a few other things. My videos are a blend between the "video essay" and "commentary" formats: a voiceover, video clips, transitions, and a little bit of me talking, too. My main goal is to share lesser known music with people and inform them of stuff they might've missed. The name, "Alfo Media", is short for "Always Forward Media". A short, memorable name that represents some of the themes of this channel. New videos every Tuesday and Friday (most of the time). Thanks!

    I love the "you think you know me" sample that pops up throughout JPEGMAFIA's music, Hazard duty pay, Kingdom Hearts Key, and Real Nega all have this sample

    She's said this before; her brief flirtation with the mainstream and the trajector towards pop superstardom abruptly ended not because she COULDN'T do it, but because she didn't want to. She decided to stick with the unique and avant garde, and I guarantee will be remembered for it.

    10:47 my exact thoughts on chloe (first name only intentional lol) at the end. i yelped! then realized i yelped because i saw kids when i was like 10 lol so she exists in a very specific place in my brain, but obviously does for many other people too, which is obviously why she was chosen for the end of the video…ugh it’s so fun (also is saw charli at pitchfork in 2019, the entire performance is on yt i was one of my most blissful experiences on earth so far)

    I remember hearing people associating Wake me up when September ends as a 9/11 song because it happened to be "sad" and mentioned September... just... no. Poor Billie Joe must have heard those takes as many times as the memes of his beautiful song about his dad...

    something i find interesting about feel good inc, is that the issue it experienced is the same as anything trying to criticise authoritarianism, it ends up being turned into something authoritarians keep trying to use to prove their point i mean, there's that famous meme about how 1984 by george orwell was banned in the US for being "pro-communist" and how it was banned in the USSR for being "anti-communist" when it's anti-authoritarian and i've seen countless conservatives call liberation of minority groups "literally 1984" and honestly that's the problem with satire. the better you do it, the worse it's message is going to get across

    I feel like _"pastiche"_ might be a good word here. Whereas a _parody_ deliberately amplifies cliches to mock something. A _pastiche_ amplifies cliches to pay tribute to something in a fun way.

    I think one of my favourite ironies is when my country decided to use Don't Stand So Close To Me by The Police as a social distancing ballad during the pandemic. People... Do realize it's about a high school teacher lusting after one of his students, right?

    Microphones/ Mount Eerie should have been on here. And in singer/songwriter, Till the Morning Comes by Neil Young has a similar amount of story to the ones in the video and it's great. But the best under-2-minute song ever is obviously Another Green World by Brian Eno. One of the most gorgeous, and most heartbreaking, songs ever.

    An underrated classic! I love this movie. When it comes to the original novel and most adaptations of it, I think Christine should either end up with Raoul or better yet, ditch both men and go on to have a fabulous career instead. But this movie? I'm like, "Winslow and Phoenix forever." Not only are they a genuinely sweet take on the Phantom/Christine pairing, they're presented as soulmates who are so in love they reincarnate throughout the ages to find each other again and again, which is a romance trope I absolutely adore.

    tbh kpop songs rn are tue best at using the shorter duration. They stull fit a bridge, and a vocal outro sometimes. it feels maximalist and enough. While if you listen to 2016-2018 kpop songs it feels like too much
