I am currently considering the pros and cons of purchasing a 10 kg anvil for my office.

Now playing: "Fearless" by #CrownLands (Progressive rock)

Follow-up album in May will have vocals once again! I was a little bummed their past two releases, as amazing as they are, were mostly instrumental.

Now playing: "Waves Of Loss And Power" by #IceAge (Progressive metal/rock)

Ice Age deep dive. Haven't listened to their debut in a while, but this one is quite a follow up.

Waiting for the game to start.
An organ in a music hall. There's a TV on the stage so that we can see the organist play.

Now playing: "TUNIC (Original Game Soundtrack)" by #Lifeformed × #JaniceKwan (Ambient; Chillwave; Chiptune)

I was too busy dying to pay attention to this soundtrack when I played the game. Glad I finally gave this a spin.

Now playing: "Cathexis:" by #Phendrana (Progressive death metal)

Perfect companion to Opeth's Damnation and to all of Piah Mater's discography. Blackgaze and post-black elements are great too.

The more people honked (in support) the louder they got. It was amazing to see.

Now playing: "Once Twice Melody" by #BeachHouse (Dream pop)

Enjoyed this one way more than I expected. Quite melancholic but the variety of instruments, sounds, and melodies keep from being overwhelming.

beachhouse.bandcamp.com/album/once-t...
Album cover for "Once Twice Melody" by Beach House. The cover shows a white background with a gold frame that makes it look like a frame. In the middle, the album title in gilded, cursive font is also surrounded by square, golden outline.

Now playing: "Bach Out of Bounds" by #Alkaloid (Progressive death metal + Bach)

This exceeded my expectations. Don't know much about Bach to comment on that aspect, but the Allegro stood out the most. Immediately one of my favorite live performances.

alkaloidsom.bandcamp.com/album/bach-o...
Cover for "Bach Out of Bounds" by Alkaloid. The cover is a black background showing the band playing in a stage. In additional to the usual guitar, bass, drums, and vocalist, there is also a violinist, a cello player, and two additional singers. Above the band, the name of the band (Alkaloid XL appear), and below the band, the name of the album appears.

Now playing: "After Gods" by #Ligation (Death/doom metal; Noise death)

Just enough doom for me to like. Convocation influence is definitely felt. Kinda messy, but in a fun way.

personal-records.bandcamp.com/album/after-...
Cover for "After Gods" by Ligation. The cover doesn't have the name of the artist or the album on the cover. It's just a drawing on a black background. Honestly, I don't know what the thing on the cover is. By my best guess, when I tilt my head a bit to the left, it's the head of a cyclops with horns and sharp teeth and curved fangs. Makes sense to me given album title.

Hi everyone, it's new article day. 🥰

This week, we have a new piece by Kyli Rodriguez-Cayro that examines recent anime Orb: On the Movements of the Earth, and its story's parallels with the rise of authoritarianism in the USA. It's a great read, and we hope you enjoy it.

#anime #manga
Orb: On the Movements of the Earth and its Parallels with Present-Day Censorship
Sure, Orb is a warning against the dangers of authoritarianism. More importantly, the show represents the indelible curiosity that all people possess. It’s about the intrinsic need to understand. To know. To find meaning. To have autonomy.

Hullo! I've now subtitled a new 80s Chinese historical film.

In Pursuit of Revenge (险恶江湖逍遥剑), an underrated wuxia film from 1989, forgotten by today but a big hit during it's release in the Mainland, featuring sword choreography by the great, actual real life sword-master Yu Chenghui!

I've had this since it released and it's been great. I've taken it on a few trips, and mostly used it at work. It's still getting updates, the user interface still sucks (complimentary), and it plays anything I throw at it. Hoping I'm able to sideload Rock Box in the future.

My favorite thing about the political YT channels my dad watches/listens is how much they swear. We need that type of energy in the nightly news.

It's not a trip to the Midwest without a trip to the Ranch.
Wooden arches for a ranch. From, it hangs a sign that reads in large font Pizza Ranch. Bellow this sign a smaller sign reads "The original homestead EST 1981." Above the arches there's a metal caravan, a la Oregon Trail, led by a man on a horse pulling a couple cows and a wagon.

Going to a Mexican store is like gachapon. You never know what you'll find.
A shelf of various clay (or some other materials??) figures in a Mexican store. In this shelf, you can find eagles, a bulldog, a rooster, Son Goku, steamer pots, Virginia de Guadalupe, and a couple Jesus.
