Pushing up new listening, playing, and reading logs with several entries, though still not exhaustive, and with old clutter still not cleaned up. More changes, details, documentation pending.

Apparently I love Canadian video games?

I’m hooked after starting this on a whim one day while browsing Apple Arcade for the first time on my laptop. I’d wanted to play something on the Switch but not enough to kick my kids off the Switch.

Not that great as a graphic novel tbh, but definitely age appropriate and on an important topic/moment for which there isn’t much available

This really syncs with my recent 90s midwest emo indie rock deep dive. In fact, I listened to this a couple of times, then listened to the first two Sunny Day Real Estate albums, started listening to Foo Fighters' The Colour and the Shape, but wanted to come back to this again over all of that.

Started drafting out a whole narrative of my thoughts and mixed reactions to this album, but realized probably absolutely nobody needs my take on this and I have plenty of other things to write about and do, things that might benefit from having more written and explored about them.

Guess I might still write and share about this later if I find I can’t let my thoughts on it go away, though…

Think I need to write a review of this for Granite Media, which I’ll link here eventually.

Also didn’t realize I needed a countryish sometimes Beatlesish Beyonce album, but here we are.

Didn’t realize I needed a new Vampire Weekend album, but it turns out I really did need it. And its the most Vampire Weekendish album they’ve ever made.

Weird how I felt almost giddy listening to this album the first few times. Like, people are allowed to make music like this? “Classical” is everything.
