What I'm looking for with music is not enough notes or too many notes. If it's got the right amount of notes, I'm not interested.

Been having a debate with myself recently about how worthwhile it is posting things online, especially if you're spending your energy on things in real life, but I've decided to pop back on here briefly just to say WE ARE ALL PALESTINE ACTION.
We should experiment with not having everything be as bad as it's possible to be, see how that goes.
They should announce VVD by having him come out of a giant Easter egg.
I've been thinking a lot about this quote from A. Sivanandan recently: "What Powell says today, the Tories say tomorrow, and Labour legislates on the day after."
There cannot be a single explanation of this other than, "I, and my government, are profoundly racist." I hate Keir Starmer so much, he's worse than a Tory, because he's occupying the space where an alternative to the Tories should be and then doing things like this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
I've seen a lot of this, also, as if they're just online trolls or school bullies, and not the leaders of the world's only hegemon.
Civil War was just alright, I thought, but there was one scene that stuck with me, when they arrived in a town that seems completely out-of-time, everyone going about like there's nothing amiss, but there are all snipers on the roof to maintain the façade. That's a bit what Bluesky feels like to me.
Robert Bresson should direct the Metal Gear Solid movie.
Nosferatu is the most ambitious crossover event of all time, there's one scene that features Kraven the Hunter, Chris Finch from The Office, Princess Diana, and Jesus Christ (from The Last Temptation of...), they were all just hanging around in a room together, chatting about events.
It seems so cruel that someone who was so viscerally connected to the physical world (I think often about how he came up with the idea for the Red Room by placing his hand on a car bonnet on a hot day) should no longer be a part of it, but if anyone can find a realm beyond that to explore, it's him.
I did the meditation for David Lynch that his family requested earlier, and I think I'm going to try and keep it going as a regular practice. I used to meditate a bit, but got out of the habit, this seems like a good way to start up again.
I actually think being very silly, and alienating to devotees, is a core requirement for music biopics. It's practically a genre convention at this point!
I'm going to be exclusively wearing Reebok Pumps between now and cherry blossom season in order to signal the extent of my pumpitude/pumposity.
My faves of the year, since you asked, are Spectral Evolution by Rafael Toral (Mokai) and Paint a Room by Chris Cohen (Hardly Art). Those are the definitely the ones I've listened to the most so far, anyway!
Cannot wait! Cannot wait! Incredibly jazzed for this, first single sounds amazing, 2025 already a great year for music.
Started and ended the year in the 1970s. (P.S. Thank you, @letterboxd.social, for opening up your stats this year. My dream came true!)
Everyone shut up a minute.
Noise shows smell like Laser Quest.
What kinds of things do we say on here, then? And who do we say them to? And why do we say them?
