  • I thought it was just me, being burnt out already by the thought of that. The stage I'm at now is that I'm a couple years out of hs, and have a job, but feel lost thinking about where I want to go when moving out, what I want to do. I don't want to move over to a full time job and spend most of my time working just to afford a place where I get to spend one or two days off a week to mentally prepare to go back to work again.

    A mood still, to be honest.

    Oh dear, I like so much that it's hard to pick favourites. But if I had to recommend a few that are dear to me, I would say:

    • Bonobo - Black Sands (music mostly instrumental, without lyrics and manages to convey such emotion regardless) second to
    • Bonobo - Days to Come (similar vein to black sands)
    • The Glitch Mob - Drink the Sea (a classic in electronic, unique sounds and production, still good today)
    • Aldous Harding - Aldous Harding (new zealand style gothic folk, aldous has a neat and unique way of singing)
    • Clever Girl - No Drum and Bass in the Jazz Room (oozes such good and lively energy, juxtaposed by being sadly the only album they ever made)
    • Kikagaku Moyo - Masana Temples (japanese psychedelic goodness)
    • Kero Kero Bonito - Time 'n' Place (for the mood when you're in a questionable time n place)
    • Pretty Lights - Spilling Over Every Side (cool soundscapes and electronic sampling collage-ery)
    • Esbe - Bloomsday (pleasant! chill)
    • Odesza - A Moment Apart (odesza are wonderful with production, soundscapes)
    • Siamés - Bounce into the Music
    • Diablo Swing Orchestra - Pandora's Pinata (particularly for the song Justice for Saint Mary, which takes you on an 8 minute journey from this is chill, this is nice to oh now this is metal, ok to wtf is happening, I definitely shouldn't play this in a church, it's great)

    And, if I may, a single song to add on the end which is very nice:

    • Shawn James - Curse of the Fold

    Because he's got a fantastic voice.

    Didn't think I'd see this here! Can second this and recommend, departure songs is a very good album; my fav from it is Bogatyri. I'll also throw in Oh Hiroshima - In Silence We Yearn as another recommendation in a similar vein.






  • I'm reading A People's History of the United States rn, bit by bit mostly while on break at work. Looking to read Washington Bullets next.

    And though I've already listened to them in audiobook form, I'm looking to find some time to read or skim through State and Rev, Imperialism: the Highest Stage of Capitalism, Socialism: Utopian and Scientific, and Principles of Communism again so I can note down / summarize things from them.

    Yeah, it's only half serious at best because of that factor. I mean, Jim Sterling has already been trying that angle with gamers for years and by now he's just barely starting to point out and criticize capitalism specifically as the driving factor behind the bs that happens within the games industry that he reports on, and his viewership hasn't exactly skyrocketed since doing so
