Song of the Earth, Dirty Projectors, David Longstreth, stargazer. Better or worse as an instrumental album compared to the vocal… I’m not sure. The horns often sound good, tho. #optionallistening

When I listened to Sleigh Bells new album earlier this year, I wanted more guitar distortion and less pop. But I was really into it this morning. All I had to do was turn the volume up. #optionallistening

This is insane shit. Cops hate the people of Los Angeles and look for any excuse to injure people.
Cops going aggro on Sunset near Echo Park in LA after the Dodgers Win. Shooting people with less lethals from point blank range, horses running people and press down. Literally minutes before, fireworks in the street

I mostly cruised through the main path of Spooky Express, with one puzzle being the kind that I could solve after going to bed and trying it again. But I was stuck dipping in and out on this one for days... until I just cracked it. Good stuff. #optionalplaying
