finally learning to make music the REAL old fashioned way: with a Mac from 1987 and a tapedeck that sounds Like This

the fish from goldfish warning somehow becoming an early doom community meme is still very funny to me

see also, the anime ending their relationship with a "uhhh reina's still in america doing whatever i guess" post-timeskip voiceover, while the novels instead gave us this (which hilariously happens *immediately* after she gets back with shuu. someone please tell this poor girl about lesbians)

the conflict between writing and direction often cuts both ways, too, with many of the more egregious bits of the story being anime-specific additions and exaggerations that seem to have resulted from the director's preferences.

the new ribbiks wad is fun but also the keycard names are just incredible

2026 update: it keeps happening

incredible week for new music, two longtime faves of mine both with fantastic new albums

as you can clearly see in the graph, your mix sounds narrow because it's being squeezed too tightly by this purple thong.
