he takes the stage alone with just a guitar, just a mic and CAPTIVATES STADIUMS! without the help of a bunch of stuff going on

It was an interesting experiment as I couldn't really skip songs, so I ended up re-experiencing some albums I hadn't heard in their entirety in a while.

I also ended up re-ripping a bunch of 160-192kbps tracks to VBR for better quality. Couldn't get *everything*, but I'm satisfied.

Finally went through my "music pool" playlist chronologically.

Started with Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog" from 1956.

Ended with Neil Cicierega's "Shit" from 2017.

61 years of music. From rock, to rap, to... weird mashups. It was a fascinating experiment, at least.

I'm near the end of my MP3 collection, and it's clear I don't have a lot of stuff after 2000.

And I have a *lot* of goofy/meme songs like Jungle All the Way.

as I start to understand trans culture more, I've realized that flannel shirts and long colorful socks is trans culture.

...is there anything else I'm missing?

oh hey, I forgot I have the tune that was used for the Matrix lobby scene.

Found out a friend from a community I'm a part of linked to my recent blog post about some obscure James Bond game on the Genesis.

It seems to have given me a slight bump in views, so there's that. ❤

I went through my CD collection and while I got a bunch of scores and soundtracks, I have such wonderful classics like Chumbawamba's Tubthumper, Lou Bega's A Little Bit of Mambo, and the freakin' Macarena.

What does that say about me

The house across the street apparently is having a jam session right now, as I can hear it from my house.

Though it seems the guitarist is doing little more than doing occasional twangs while the bass and drums play the same part over and over again.

Hi, my character is a squirrel.

They're cute. At least I think so.

I keep forgetting my character is a squirrel.

Thus in a discord when everybody posts squirrels I realize they're not really thinking of me.

Maybe I should mention it more?

Controversial opinion: I think They Might Be Giants' Flood is massively overrated.

Apollo 18's a much better album.

I seem to have a lot of music from 1991.

Compared to most of the late '80s, where I don't have nearly as much.

A few nights ago I was like "some pickles would be nice at 2AM."

So I tried to open an unopened jar of pickles. I am not a strong person, so I tried for what felt like a half-hour before giving up.

Cut to today, where I try again, and I twist the lid off *instantly*.

I couldn't help but laugh hysterically.
