Stars of the Lid

Beautiful ambient sounds of drones, strings, pianos, and washed out guitar. All their music has a calm quality to me, but some albums feel more gloomy and others more tranquil.

The Cure - Disintegration

Can’t hear the final notes of Plainsong without anticipating the opening notes of Pictures of You. It’s like that all the way through.

Shogun (2024)

Many things to recommend this show: complex character-driven drama & moments of quiet contemplation punctuated by sudden & visceral violence; the most important characters aren’t always who you might expect (as in: men & colonial interlopers aren’t always as powerful as they think they are…); the way translation is depicted is brilliant & subtle. I could go on. A must watch if you love confident, thoughtful and surprising storytelling.

Asking Unsuspecting strangers for recommendations

A meta-recommendation. At Goodwill the other day, I was the unsuspecting stranger. The cashier noticed my debit card—it features an image of an audio cassette. (My credit union issues these to support KEXP, our local radio station!) “I ask everyone with that card for a song recommendation,” said the cashier. I gave him R.E.M’s “Orange Crush.” So now this is a meta-meta-recommendation.
