Wanted to watch the Olympics but got talking heads. Moving on.

Listening to a lot of Seasurfer lately. I discovered them a few years ago and was reacquainted with them again a few weeks ago. Most recent album has what would call more of a dark wave sound, more synth. Earlier albums I would call more shoegaze. But layers, distortion, reverb and harmonies all throughout

Can I say, as an IT person, I’m really tired of running updates. So little control over what is happening. No way to know before starting if this computer will take the update after some unknown interval of time, or not. All I can do is wait and pick up the pieces.

Used all the caffeines to power through a long work weekend. Today, I started my day early and my usual large amount is insufficient. My brain wants MOAR.

Seasurfer Dive In

Apple Music suggested this one to me this morning. It’s right up my alley. I know it as shoegaze, because I’m Gen X. I don’t know what the kids are calling it these days

The Junk email folder is as good a reminder as any of the newsletters I thought I wanted but am not devoting attention to. Lots of unsubscribing this morning.

Just listened to an album from 1991 that I had forgotten about, Culture Beat’s Horizon.

I got the cassette as a promo from a record store I worked at. Clearly it was in-store play, because it had one of the stickers we used. And it was something I liked enough to put my initial on, to claim once it was rotated out in favor of something newer.

That’s the main reason I looked it up to stream. Because back then, I had to wait for it. And I kept it after a lot of exposure to it.

True Fact:

The place on earth with weather conditions most inhospitable to human life is whatever gas station you are at right now.

This is probably a controversial opinion, but I’m so sick and tired of every home improvement show mentioning Open Concept. If you want to live in a warehouse, buy a warehouse. Stop fucking up beautiful, structurally sound homes because you think you need to see everything.
