Please - Something New

BEYOND THE GRID

Everyone knows real alternative-fashion means dressing up like those guys in A Clockwork Orange.

I am NOT ready for my physics paper 1 exam. (=_=)

I merely plan to derive everything from fundamental units in the middle of the exam hall.

Because I 'aint revised shit.

I've got very generous uni offers on account of my whacky brain-chemistry, but it has caused me to become complacent in my studies.

Pray for me, I'm going to need it!

I'm installing Subnautica 2 right now. Subnautica was the first game I bought for my laptop back in 2019 so I'm super excited. I hope it will run alright on my 7 year-old hardware.

KURTZ: "Are you an assasin?"

WILLARD: "I'm a soldier."

KURTZ: "No, you are an errand-boy, sent by grocery clerks; to collect a bill."

Never knew country music could be this face-melting...

Help, I'm addicted to ᑕ¥βєяรקค¢є!

I come with an offering of black metal from the DPRK.

I want to get a Shamisen Bachi to use as a plectrum for bass playing.

Its part of my ongoing endeavour to push the sound that comes out of that instruments to the limit of what could be called "music".

English translation:

I bring you good news – my heart is perfectly at ease,

No trace of sorrow stirs within my chest.

And when I cross the shore,

I choose my own path, whether open or narrow.

O you, all the blamers and gossipers,

Your opinions mean nothing to what I choose.

I tell you again – my heart is steady and calm,

No shadow of sorrow rests within my breast.

~ Mohammed bin Futais Al-Marri

Personal note:

The antidepressants are starting to kick in....

I find the baritone opera vocals perfectly balance the heavy metal screaming in this track.

Telegraph - 'Topography of Mind'

I just wanted to tell everyone about my favorite animal, the Manul [Pallas-Cat].

This wildcat (no larger than a regular housecat) inhabits the wilderness of the Central-Asian Steppe. It keeps a fluffy coat of fur to stay warm during the winter months, which has the added effect of making it look super cuddly. It also has this perpetually grumpy expression which somehow I find really cute!...

"Send lawyers, guns and money. The shit has hit the fan!"

The perfect song to listen to while you Schizoanalyse the crystalline social structures that surround you.

This instrumental sounds equal parts material and transcendental.

I've got a case of beer and a copy of Halo 2, its going to be a good Saturday night.

Discovered Tuareg Guitar music a couple months back. Exporting electric guitars and amplifiers to the Sahel back in the 80s, honest to God, has been the best decision the west has ever made.

Without further ado, I present to you Imouha by Etran de L'Aïr!

There's something in the air...

I started sleeping properly again after discovering the Indie-Web. Mom was right, it was the phone all along.

Anyway since everyone's sharing music here's one of my favourites, "Untitled" by Åreknuteknyterne. Its a rare bit of 80's electronic with the most heavenly distortion-guitar I've ever heard.
