Ten by Pearl Jam is one of my all time favorite classic/hard rock slash grunge albums. Holeās album Live Through This is more of a melodic grunge/alternative rock, but a solid female vocal album. I feel like it never really got all the flowers it deserved because it was a female vocalist at the same time. I just ignore the fact that itās Courtney Love lol. Iāve said this in a rec before and Iāll say it again: I will listen to ANYTHING that Chris Cornell worked on lol. He was a part of a few 90s grungy bands, so if you havenāt already definitely check out Soundgarden, Audioslave, and/or Temple of the Dog. Superunknown by Soundgarden is probably one of the best known. Some are popular enough, but ones I feel were all pretty quintessential 90s albums that were a great part of the sound.

this record is from 1996 and captures that era so perfectly. it definitely exists in the grunge zone but i think itās kind of its own weird thing. the harmonies and energy instantly evoke the intimacy of the mtv unplugged performances of nirvana and alice in chains. though its less massive sounding than either of those bands studio records, theres a rawness in these recordings that i love

from the 33 1/3 series. part bio of the band, the album, and Courtney love, part memoir about the experience of listening to it as a kid, part cultural critique of its lyrics and reception. fantastic. If you donāt vibe with the album or Courtney, odds are thereās another book in the series about an album you love!

So we all think itās sketchy that Tik Tok is already back right? And that they posted a statement kissing Trumpās ass and making him out to be the one saving Tik Tok when he isnāt even sworn in yet? And now Trump wants the US government to have a 50% ownership, aka turning Tik Tok into state owned media just like I thought was happening. And Iām sure most people wonāt be able to stay away from Tik Tok and Meta which is so disappointing. I want nothing to do with Tik Tok now because I know the app as we knew it is already gone at this point.

Thereās something about the quality of digital camera photos that make a picture of anything you take look more pleasing (to me anyway). The nostalgia, the saturation, I love them. I have a couple cameras that still work from when I was a kid, but I also bought one on eBay that was similar to one that used to be a favorite of mine. I just throw it in my purse and take it everywhere, and itās so much more fun than trying to get the āperfect shot,ā especially now that Iāve deleted Meta and gone with Pixelfed it seems that people love posting anything from the little things they see or their drinks. Itās making photo sharing fun again! Although, if you do download Pixelfed (which isnāt the point of this post but) I highly recommend using it in your browser on your phone for now, theyāve already made things run smoother from when I first downloaded but theyāre definitely still working on the app.

Iāve already read 48 books in 2025 while being on my flip phone, social media detox life. Yes, some of them were just trashy romance, but still. Itās been so nice to get back into reading for enjoyment again. Itās nice to be out and about and not have that constant urge to reach for a phone and check notifications.
I donāt even have most social media apps downloaded on this anymore, I love this app though, and the urge to click on an app and doom-scroll is nonexistent. This brick of technology has really turned into my iPod and Kindle, and the occasional pop back on here.
