I was on the train today and this song came on. It paralysed me at first because it was this stunning paralysingly beautiful opening but then suddenly it bounced into this exciting silly journey!
The song is Cybele’s Reverie by Stereolab
It kinda gave me “this is life” vibes. Life can be paralysing, life can be silly, then at the end of the song it is this AWESOME JAM. Because life Can be awesome.
I had listened to an album of Stereolab before but WOW are they sooooooo cool. They just get it, they get the whimsey, they get the beauty.

Been on a TV On The Radio kick since I discovered their Tiny Desk a few days ago.
Fun story:
When I was 18, I flew out to Chicago with my dad for the day to take a tour of Columbia. We rode the L on the way into the city from the airport (orange line from Midway), and I was listening to TOTR. A young man in a suit caught my eye because he was really into his music.
We take the tour and head straight back to the airport. No idea why we didn’t make a weekend of it. Again, I’m listening to TOTR. Again, I see the same young man. I knew this is where I’d be moving to. That was 2007, and I’m still here baby!!

spent the last two weeks working on an interactive guide, recommendations database, and digital library (link depot) to help get people off of social media. the first draft is done now, and it's at the link to this post.
it's still very much a work in progress (the library is especially thin atm) - which is why i wanted to share it here before unleashing it upon my IRL friends and the general public. i welcome any and all feedback, bug reports, and suggestions for things to add. i will be pushing updates to it out like a madman in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back every so often to see new additions to the database and library.
additionally, i am still on the hunt for newsletters from local venues / community organizations / magazines / newspapers, etc. the only cities i have remotely covered so far are nyc, orlando, denver, brisbane, and little bits of worcester and chicago. if you know anything in your area that fits the bill, send it my way!

chronological feeds on social media are a dying breed and it's so important to maintain the ones you still have
