Remember 15/20 yrs ago when everybody (mainly white male teens) had a "Zombie Plan"?
I think back to those quite a lot. At first I used to laugh because yeah, ridiculous. But as time passes by, I think a little deeper, and am increasingly disturbed by the concept.

Yearly reminder to also congratulate "late" HS grads a.k.a "The 5 year program", or "Super Seniors".
I'm one myself (2007).
They are not "dumb", "lazy" or "hopeless", and deserve just as much love and support.

Lately, I've been referring to the Atari Shock/"'83 Crash" historical narrative as "Let's Fast Forward To Nintendo."
It ignores not only Home Computers' role in that history but also Europe and the rest of the world at large.

"Is MySpace still around lol?"
People didn't leave MySpace because of Trolls, Bots, pay-to-play algorithms, and sociopolitical unrest.
We left after posting a long, vague, passive-aggressive rant about being "done with all the drama" because we saw Becky bump us down to #4 on her Top 8.

Came in faster than I expected. I've got a lengthy manual to read, now. There's lots of really cool stuff on it.

In approximately under a month, I'll be the owner of a Roland MC-505. (Coming in from Japan.)
I only have two hands, and my live playing is getting ambitious. After months of looking, I think i found something to my tastes. If anyone used one, let me know how you got on with it!

Mild take: VHS actually looked good back in the day If you took care of it.
The VHS "A E S T H E T I C" exists because people didn't clean their VCRs, Wore out their tapes, or recorded on SLP (crap quality) to cram 6 hours of video on a tape.
The "Retro" video look kinda bugs me ngl. I Must fix!

Coming to the end of my TP complete run-through. Return is imo, the most original approach to a Legacy Sequel.
I forgot about this track and it hits so hard.

Have you ever listened to the 1983 compilation record "The Elephant Table Album"?
If you have, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. It's got some early/forgotten avant-industrial tracks from pioneers such Coil and Legendary Pink Dots.

We are now the headlines that someone on the other side of the world is reading at the breakfast table.
"Shame what's happening in the US... Shit. I'm late for work."
You really thought it was impossible?

I used to be happy just setting up my phone and streaming my music, makeup and thoughts.
Like yeah, it's more "real", but I kinda want to give it all a bit more polish, and show a little pride in what I do.
