DRAMA OFTEN OBSCURES THE REAL ISSUES

A lot of people in the world need to stop and listen to this Vex Ruffin tune from a couple years ago. A gem of a fun, genre-agnostic record.
"Life is not what you expect. I don't care, I'm happy anyway. Know yourself. Be yourself. Check yourself." - Vex Ruffin

Last night’s community mixtape theme was “fantasy” so I found myself thinking about dollar bin gems. The 101 Strings Orchestra’s version of “Morning On the Meadow” sounds like the kind of thing that plays in a montage of people riding horses on a fantastic adventure.

I went into Blue Moon with modest expectations and left impressed. It’s a great script and a great performance from Hawke.
If you ever wanted a movie that combined the amount of conversation in My Dinner with Andre with extensive shit-talking about the play Oklahoma!, this is for you. 📽️

The untitled b-side beat on this surprisingly mellow loosie from Skee Mask / SCNTST is worth a listen.

Give me a Bandcamp release that is digital-only but absolutely begs for a physical. Preferably something electronic/ambient/drone/avant, but I'm open to other genres too.
