hiatus

the dots are play sessions. yellow = title

This is the most insane wikipedia page I have ever encountered. I got a third of the way through and started thinking "WHO CARES" which was unusual for me as I can usually see value in every article. I got curious and decided to check out the history of it...

Almost the entire article is written by one user--inkypaws--who is extremely protective of it. If the user hadn't joined in 2004, I would've assumed they joined purely to police the page. Their other contributions seem more down to earth so I wonder if they /are/ the guy or at least know him personally.

The article itself feels like a tabloid column rather than an online encyclopedia entry. It's also over 5,000 words for something that I feel could be summarised in a single paragraph.

It's been nominated for deletion three times and somehow survives, but not without a ton of drama in talk section and edit history.

the moon by the microphones

summertime by the sundays

ok bye

Hello there, so sorry I only saw your message now, almost a full month later! Thanks for reaching out + the track recommendations.

I have listened to the glow pt 2 before. I like the lyrics, but it has never managed to wow me sound-wise unfortunately. I'm always happy to give an album another listen with fresh ears though. Some of my favourite albums are ones I actually disliked on the first listen.

Heaven or Las Vegas and Summertime are great though. I'll take this as a cue to finally add some Cocteau Twins to my library.

I'm doing well enough. Currently my life is quite boring, consisting mostly of working at my new job and the occasional trip to the cinema. It's the first non-food service job I've had in 4 years and it's been tough adapting to just how banal everything is, LOL! I had a nice Christmas holiday though :)

I've been listening to the radio a lot lately to find new music and it's been very rewarding so far. I'll leave you a track from a band I was introduced to on CBC music.
