these are not in any particular order except whichever comes 2 mind first ....

1 forplay by saint motel (2009!) (one of the albums of all time, and tbh all of their applicable albums could fit here but i have a soft spot for forplay)

2 cutiemarks (and the things that bind us) by vylet pony (2021!) (the entire album is so good ... everyone loves antonymph and im no exception but ouuw its so good)

3 burn pygmalion!!! a better guide to romance by the scary jokes (2019!) (i like this album a lot . a lot of things to rotate in it . also the album name itself kind of inspired my name . reminded me of that guy . now im pygmalion so im being burned i fear .owchie!)

4 happy heartcore by spott (2021!) (i love furry musicians .. this ones very good, highly recommend it for folks who like more energetic music)

5 lemon demon. which one? great fucking question i cant decide. maybe view monster! maybe spirit phone ! perhaps nature tapes? who knows. one of them.

in no particular order.. 1."Widow [OBLIVION Pt.1]" by Crywolf I don't listen to the album all the way through very often, but almost every single one of my favs from Crywolf are on here, and I love listening to them in order. The transition tracks are so good...

2."A Gift To Us All" by Cacola It's good... it's really really good.... I used to have the whole album featured on my website, and I'd loop it while working on said website. If they ever sell vinyls I would love to buy one.

3."Pix & Bit" by Patricia Taxxon At least one Patricia album had to be on here. Cilantro loops in my head every day. There's tiny snippets of the Techdog albums that'll live in my head forever. With My Tail to the World makes me wanna do flips all over the place. YAY YAY FURRY MUSIC YAY

4."View-Monster" and "Dinosaurchestra" by Lemon Demon Couldn't choose just one sorry. Lemon Demon moment

5."The Sticks" by Mother Mother Oc pmvs galore. Nuff said

Language & Perspective (Bad Suns; it’s their debut album and exemplifies how far they’ve come especially compared to their most recent, Accelerator)

ditherdream1 by nuphory (the oldest song in it is 4 yrs old so i’m counting it sue me)

Hau Ruck by KMFDM (it’s just..so good)

NAKAKAPAGPABAGABAG by Dasu (incredibly good dubstepesque vocaloid that pushes Len a LOT)

also the sticks by mother mother (it’s just Good man)

Tourist History by Two Door Cinema Club (thought What You Know was a banger while workshopping an oc's lore and decided to try it and now where are we. also Cigarettes in the Theater and Undercover Martyn are peak)

Nothing Happens by Wallows (listened to it on a whim and ill never go back. every time i hear Ice Cold Pool heretofore unknown parts of my brain activate like a sleeper agent responding to a code word)

I Can Feel You Forgetting Me by Neon Trees (i LOVE neon trees i listend to this and Sink Your Teeth nonstop during the 2 months i was evacuated from my house last year)

CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: THE ESTATE SALE (tyler produces nothing but bangers honestly but this one was 2021 or earlier. its just banger feature after banger feature. honestly my man doesnt miss)

Keith Haring - “The Life of Christ”

a bunch of archives of incredibly important government datasets like maternal mortality statistics are about to be deleted forever. in a regime where they're known to fudge numbers, we can't trust a lot of the data coming from them to not be altered. open source backups like those found on data.world are vital to being able to verify that the data coming from our government is still intact and not altered. and they're about to delete all of it.

i don't know if we need to start a petition or what. nobody seems to fucking care. there are millions of users on data.world and yet nobody is raising the alarm bells and it makes me feel like I'm going insane. somebody needs to do something. i don't know what to do. it feels like more and more of this world is being destroyed and dismantled. it's not only US centric data, either! it's all sorts of countries from around the world! and they're about to fucking delete everything.

the only things that won't be deleted are private companies who happen to use the paid version of their platform (which isn't accessible data to the open source community; some people have just been using their service to host their own data on privately)

and the kicker? this announcement was made... via an AI generated blog post. so not even any sort of human touch. just a generic, soulless announcement made by a soulless human about to take a wrecking ball to one of the more important websites that exists on the internet.

an example of some of the things that will be deleted on July 11th:
