my brother and I get on bandcamp and click on songs from the live updating list of albums that are selling and we listen to 30 seconds or so of a song and if we like it we add it to a playlist. and we call this "foraging for music."

anyways one of terminology we have coined to talk about music is "Knee Music" which is derived from the fact that album covers that show a person's knees tend to sound the same as each other. It's kind of a sleepy, grungy indie folk pop sound with youthful-sounding, vocals that affect a candid and vulnerable feeling.

or anyway we found multiple album covers with knees in quick succession, and they all sounded the same, hence "Knee Music"

but it doesn't have to be knees to be Knee Music. any kind of blurry, candid-looking photos that include skinny white people is likely to be knee music

My other brother's method of foraging for music is slightly more complicated: he gets on everynoise and uses random number generators to get a random genre, a random artist, and then a random song from that artist.

For a while, his method was slightly different, instead choosing a random genre and listening to it until he found a song from that genre that he liked.

However, this could be very time-consuming. once he became trapped for a long time in "geek rap" which was mostly a lot of people rapping in potentially spanish or portuguese (?) about Five Nights at Freddy's

My brother and I have a rating system where we rate songs on a scale of 1 to 7, where 1 is absolute dogshit and 7 is the best song ever.

The challenge in this is that even if a song isn't particularly pleasant to listen to, novelty will increase the rating, because it's something interesting we haven't heard before. So, it's incredibly difficult for a song to get the lowest rating, because a song that is outstandingly bad has something different about it to make it bad, which paradoxically makes it good.

We had a very hard time rating this song, Burial Etiquette- Ivy Staircase in Ruin. We both disliked it, but we had never disliked a song in this way. The harsh vocals are so far to the background and relatively quiet that it's like, a kind of generic song but there's a guy screaming incoherently somewhere in the next room

We didn't like the harsh vocals, but we also thought they should raise the rating of the song because they made it weirder. We ultimately didn't settle on a rating at all for it.

[headspace-hotel]

We both agree that the best random song we found is Butcher Brown- No Way Around It. It is groovy and makes you want to dance, with a unique style.

The genre is Funk, so we looked into funk some more, but it turns out that funk is not very popular anymore and it was popular mostly in the 1970s.

Only one other random song we rated with a 7, which is Thrailkill- Cattywampus.

Those are the two songs we rated with a 7. I haven't counted up how many songs we rated yet, but the ratings suggest that an excellent song is hard to find...

[headspace-hotel]

The random songs we rated with a 6 are these. a 6 rating means it is a really good song that we would listen to again and again but not the most excellent song possible

Benny Bleu- Five Miles from Town

Death Threat Cassette- Use Your Delusion

(Regarding the song Burial Etiquette- Ivy Staircase in Ruin)

exactly! weird art has a charm and fascination to it.

Everybody's having fun portraying Grace as the soft hearted damsel in distress and Simon as his big scary guard dog, as if Simon "welded into a metal box" Ironlung isn't shattering at the first kind touch he receives and Ryland "abandons his entire planet and species for his alien buddy" Grace wouldn't rip the universe apart if it tried to take Simon away.

I told my little nephew that I'd wave at his airplane when it flew over my house today, and he very calmly and politely explained that it wouldn't be possible to see me due to the limitations of human vision. I said he just had to squint real hard, and he took a deep breath and went into the toddler version of "see, what you're not understanding–"

the year is 2035. the new beauty standard is for women to cut their ears off, as ears are a masculine trait which make the face look too big and hearing isnt necessary as it doesnt align with being demure. evil feminists say perhaps this is unnecessary and ears are natural. women are agressively proclaiming they are cutting their ears off due to sensory issues

by the way. it never is too late to decide you want to be happy. the woman who helped me get hormones didnt start hers until she was 70, and i met her at 73, beautiful and smiling - and told me that the last three years of her life had been her favorite. your favorites might be ahead of you too. why not hang around and find out?

How do folks do cozy in the summertime? I'm having a real need for things that are cozy & comforting in the same way as a mug of hot tea and warm slippers on a rainy fall morning. Unfortunately, there's been a big yellow orb in the sky fucking with my vibes.

When my kids were small, I'd set a duvet cover on the floor, toss sleeping bags inside to make resting mats, and point a fan right at the entrance so it would puff up like a balloon. We'd read and have snacks in there for hours, and the kids would even nap sometimes. If anyone got cold from the direct wind, it felt super cozy to use a light blanket in there.

My kids still talk about the wind tent.

Simon: Sorry to have dragged you out here all this way. It's just that- *glances over Ryland's shoulder and sees Colt duck for cover* *sighs*-SOMEONE don't trust me with their little brother.

Colt: Shitshitshitshit

Ryland: They're behind me, aren't they?

Simon: "They"? I only saw Colt-

Ryland: Oh no, Court is there too. Trust me. He'll see you before you see him. But honestly, the subtle scent of watermelon flavored Bubbalicious is unmistakable. *glares toward his left*

Court: *quietly, nearby* Fuck.
