i was gifted an ipod for my birthday which made me want to return to a more meaningful relationship with music, a step back from streaming. bandcamp is a beautiful creation and this one of my favorite finds. some beautiful acoustic folk tunes, recorded on a subway station nonetheless! you can actively hear trains on certain songs, which only adds to the sonic experience 🚊

there was this new york times story on a couple buying a fire island house and discovering 200 tapes of dj sets between 1979 and 1999, and a sound engineer has been digitizing them and more are still uploading. it’s a lovely time portal and does more to set a mood for me than any ambient pop usually can, plus it tickles my crown chakra or whatever to feel some sort of connection to generations past.

Music recs are such a delicate thing...people like what they like and abjure what they dont. i see music recs on here everyday and find myself mistrustful of them for no real reason. I think i want to change my internal ecosystem and become a person who will listen to and share music. In the interest of that i recommend this: bo khat eternal troof family band. I like to collect albums that set a mood. This one is relaxing on the couch after working in the cold under the incandescent light of a floor lamp. I hope anyone can listen to this :)

You may recognize one of the tracks (Deep Blue Day) off this album because it’s in the Trainspotting soundtrack. But other than that, Apollo is just overall a beautiful ambient album that I always revisit either while writing or just while resting.Â

these tabs are always open on my laptop!!! ive recently entered into the world of perfume, which is so cool that you can basically just smell like anything. mondays i smell like lemons. wednesdays are mint and basil. fragrantica is basically just a catalog of almost every perfume and shows reviews, pros and cons, online listings, all the notes. you can sort perfumes by scents too and find similar perfumes to ones you already know. even if im not buying anything i just like to look at the pictures.
i do have a shopping addiction that i inherited from my mother which im trying to break, but her one rule was that she would always buy me a book if i asked for it. plus buying secondhand is so much cheaper and cooler!!! on thrift books, you can sort through all the copies they have a certain book, basically you can pick out what cover speaks to you the most. and most stuff is very cheap, you can also sort by condition, i love a good beat up book.
the creative independent is a blog? (i guess in a sense) that interviews creative people almost daily and categorizes the interviews into different areas of the creative process; i.e., “making time for creative work”, ”developing a creative process”, “running a business”, and ”becoming an artist”. they talk to some big names along with niche guys, i’ve discovered a lot of cool art and such through the interviewees. i love the nicole mclaughlin interview
are.na is basically pinterest but aimed towards design students, which im not, but i do enjoy the structure of it more over pinterest, you do only get a certain number of ”blocks” (pins) before having to pay a subscription, i do believe students get it for free tho!
