🎵 Yuru Camp Season 2 Soundtrack (2021, Comp. Akiyuki Tateyama)

Surprise snowfall and a new album. Aside from being one of my favorite animes, Yuru Camp S2 has a remarkable soundtrack with several Andean-influenced tracks (I really like Andean music)

The album cover shows a still from the anime "Yuru Camp" in which characters Shima Rin and Nadeshiko Kagamihara are standing together under a night sky.

🎵 The Brothers Four - 1970 (Unlicensed, ca. 1970)

Earlier today I decided "what the heck" and went and bought another Taiwanese bootleg album, this one from Pioneer Record

The album cover is black and features a centered photograph of four young men standing in the underbrush and looking upwards.

There's a reason I picked a song called "Sail Away Raymond" for my Animal Crossing island because someone is NOT supposed to be here

Occlupanids from the South Pole. A diverse clattering of 34 specimens were delivered to HORG by field researchers Z. Mills and A. Barden, while stationed at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. It is theorized that these specimens had likely migrated from North America or New Zealand.
Display of several occlupanids from Antarctica, collected at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, during the austral winter of 2025. Species collected: Palpatophora utiliformis, P. utiliformis grandis, P. glyphodorsalis, Protocrena gigantis, Porrectofrontus colwelli, and Admordorsum floridensis. All in suitably polar hues, except for that viridis one.

Probably comes as no surprise, 280 hours...

Pokémon Violet was my "play while on the treadmill at the gym" game, so I'm a bit disappointed in myself that it's so low XD
