been playing this album in full a lot recently amidst all the other mishmosh i’ve been listening to…i can best describe it as something that makes me feel like an older, maybe slightly healthier skins character…very frank lyrically, very gritty production wise.

Im sure im not the only one who’s recommended this . But its on repeat !! I heard of this imminently coming out a bit ago and to be honest I was hesitant to listen… to me moon safari (by air) is one of The ancient texts of music.. just a North Star type document to me. So to have someone else’s hands on it (albeit the hands of an artist I’m not very versed in at all) was deterring. but just… wow… its definitely clear from how this sounds that Vegyn loves Moon Safari and Air just as much as the most avid air listeners, the highest respecters of Music even. and just wanted to extend the lifespan of this already enduring work… I just love when this happens with pieces of art I care about but also just as a testament to beautiful art itself. Like fr this remix album has made me emotional and euphoric and stunned and grateful to be alive! 🫣🫣🥲🥲

when i listen to this album it feels like a portal is being unlocked inside,, my favourite track is vampire in the corner or love is everywhere! (a friend told me this was a very 'me' album, that means something coming from them)

started writing this a few hours ago when i first saw this ask, then decided against posting but i've since changed my mind. there really is no justification for it outside of entitlement. even from a selfish lens, there's no long term benefit to its usage. it harms the world and culture in more ways than one.
a.) the water and energy usage that isn't a secret at this point. "no ethical consumption under capitalism" yadda yadda and yeah corporations are extremely culpable in the state of the environment but there really is no need for chatgpt and the planet is already too delicate at the moment.
b.) the exploitation of workers in the global south. this program is not just a computer figuring it all out, there are in fact humans behind it. it reminds me of the acceptance of fast fashion and how people have the tendency to divorce the idea of the garment worker from the garment they wear when all clothing is handmade in some way, shape or form. you need hands to man a sewing machine, you need human eyes to moderate content. also, content moderation can be a thankless job with psychological repercussions.
c.) the erosion of social skills, humanity and media literacy...this one is very personal. like, you have a cushy email job but can't write an email? you need a computer and a worker in kenya to get paid a dollar an hour to figure out a daily routine for you? i've seen the program churn out blatantly incorrect information. fine tuning a prompt or chat or whatever to give you the exact (possibly incorrect) answer you need isn't really that much less work than sharpening your research skills by cracking open a dictionary or using boolean search keys in google. again, the main issue with this kind of stuff is the entitlement to convenience, with no thought towards the repercussions within and outside of us. we are losing major recipes (critical thinking and media literacy) here, people!
i probably did an iffy job are coherently articulating my thoughts here but i am in fact, human. and that’s the beauty of it all.
