This is top-tier bsky content and so I’m absolutely and unashamedly screenshotting and reposting it.

Yes, being aware and exploring what kinds of pressure and why those pressures are there, and also, alertness to gifts, to openings and connections that feel like they appear.

It’s so funny you say it’s all great and @neuronaraka.bsky.social says it’s all duhkha and it comes down to the same thing, haha.

And, I think the default tendency here is to feel that you need to “keep up” with new releases, and appreciate folks saying, hold on, think about why!

Why can’t I get a doctor to prescribe me a month’s rest in fresh mountain air?!?! Or two weeks?!?! I have somewhere to go even, just need that doctors note so I can use sick time and come back to a job.

Been sick today. Took it off work and have slept for most of it. Only listened to The Long Road North all day. Done some energy / healing meditations. Really working on resetting my energy. Stuff is hard on so many fronts, and that takes it toll for sure.

Music is part of how I explore and engage my inner life, an aesthetic practice that blurs into spiritual. Listening to lots of new stuff has been and continues to be part of that. And sometimes I pull back. And learning that sensitivity—not just being on default mode—is key, and we need reminders.

I appreciate this post and the op, and others like it. I listen to lots of new stuff. It’s good to have people helping you ask yourself “why” and to think about other ways.

You can’t have every aesthetic experience. There is joy and community in connecting over new things. And, things you miss.

Y’all I am by no means saying you should stop discovering new music 😭 I’m simply suggesting being intentional about which albums you listen to. Don’t just let an algorithm make a playlist for you. Buy a damn cd/tape/vinyl. Listen so much that you want the t shirt

I genuinely believe it is best to enjoy less music. Re-listening to one of my favorite albums will always take priority over discovering new music. Streaming has normalized the over-consumption of music to the point that most people listen to things once and never again.

My kids used to do “dark chicken” (bok-ing the imperial march) as part of the bedtime routine when they were younger, but I didn’t check to see if these boks scanned, lol

Yeah, and then I think it was Salvation for me as a whole album from there, and then, for whatever reason, all of it.

I couldn’t hang with them for a long time—just got bored. But I watched this live recording of them playing a song outside and it clicked and opened them up. Weirdest thing but I’ll take it.

Apparently this is a longer mood bc I’ve started the day here, too (The Long Road North).

They are definitely moving up in my world. I have a top 3 (Shai Hulud, The Ocean, and Panopticon) so there’s room, but no rush, haha.

This is 100% about the Epstein files and his legacy when he dies, the only thing he has ever cared about—like, all the other horrible stuff he has done he thinks he is good, but he knows that stuff is unforgivable and is coming into the open.

Ah yes, if a lot of people think you have a crap take, the only explanation is cowardice and thought-police on their part and brave free thinking on yours. Of course.

I have no idea. Haven’t really thought about it, and didn’t even realize until I saw this and was stumped haha

I’m loving the Lotus Sutra so far but it also is really giving the whole “this celestial gathering could have been an email” vibes.

No idea if it’s any good but it has guest spots from from Schammasch (CSR) so that alone is enough to get me to check out this atmo-sludge from August, and then add it’s from Pelagic Records, okay. Zatokrev.

Heisa, Trois: cover made me want to try it, and was one of those if you like Pothamus you might like…

It’s weird, interesting and pretty good, like indie rock / alt with some mathy and noisy aspects. Enjoyed the listen.

Might fuck around and chill with 80,000 bodhistavvas while the Buddha teaches—and also listen to the latest from Pothamus. Epic stuff all around.
