I listen to music through $5 pink AirPod dupes from kmart. I don’t know shit about sound quality. I don’t care about researching record players, headphones or speakers. I love when people care about it for themselves, I can be picky about sensory things as well (usually with tactile things and materials). But I also love being ignorant enough to really enjoy listening to music, without doing it the right way.

Most musicians have terrible home stereos. They generally put all their resources toward studio gear which makes practical sense. 5-6 years back I made the unpractical choice to invest in my home system. After a lot of trial and error, I landed on components by this company in upstate NY called EM/IA. It’s pricey but I got lucky and found a used pair of their 50 amps and then got one of their passive pre amps (elmaformer). I listen to more music now than ever and that’s the best review I can give.

I still use my wired earphones. Noise cancelling and Bluetooth headphones are great for a jam out and I own a pair but I hate charging things (or more so I forget), I’m lazy and I love my wired earphones. Love to hear ambient noises in the background sometimes especially on a walk alone.
Also I’m a ceramicist and a painter, it’s just easier sometimes to be able to use my dirty hands to pull the wire and get them to pop out of my ears rather than having to clean gunk off my expensive Bluetooth headphones.

I thought I could get by with inexpensive earbuds. But I bought nice over ear headphones for video editing and, the first time I listened to my favorite band on them, I learned how much I was missing. Falling asleep listening to an album on these is one of my small pleasures.

Sometimes I recommend being a hater. I’m not here to talk about the numerous quality uses of AI, how often it is actually used nor am I here to critique AI without strawmanning it. I don’t care if I strawman an account of AI because I genuinely despise the way most people use AI. I think AI generated images are ugly. I think that AI cannot hold a half decent conversation. I’m completely avoidant when it comes to showing AI my writing; I’ve never done it and I refuse to. I hate when you go to that one poetry website and there is AI “analysis” there, because its not real textual analysis and it upholds a certain contextualised intentionalist framework of reading a text reinforced in high school English. I hate that the meta AI will influence what products will be advertised to you. I don’t care if it’s the future. I genuinely love being called a dinosaur because I hate AI.

When we let go of the fear we hold towards the smallest creatures of our environment, and learn how to immerse ourself in an instance of nature rather than making an instance of nature our own, we learn to truly be alive. Bugs are great because you can’t own them, but you can admire their beauty. #bugnation2024
