Ian Makes Tracks

FINALLY

I don’t think you’re nostalgic for recording songs off the radio, respooling unwound tapes with a pen(cil) downloading songs off Limewire, or burning mix CDs. I think what you ARE nostalgic for is your initial, youthful connection to music, & the free time which allowed you to pursue that.

Wait, no more cemetery? What happened? You guys gonna be ok?

Mass hysteria. There is not and never has been such a band.

… enjoy some of the UK bands from that era, like Ride, Slowdive, The Charlatans, Boo Radleys, etc. Way more interesting, at least to me!

At the height of grunge & alt-rock, I was going to raves & house music nights, and teaching myself to make electronic music with a sampler in my dorm room. I liked “Teen Spirit” & some of the more obvious hit singles, but as a movement, it just didn’t connect with me. I did, however…

YES PLEASE!!!

Basically this:

So damned good! (Now you need to write a book about sampling in dance music!!!)

The horrible intertwined exhaust/smoke sky trail left by the Challenger explosion has been imprinted into my memory since I was 11 years old. Seems wild to me that it could be forgotten culturally!

Oh, it’s the slimmest of hopes, to be sure! 🙁

My only hope is that most of his worst impulses are kept in check - again.

Less than zero interest in watching any coverage myself!

(Undeservedly, I mean to say!)

Sometimes I think Dinosaur Stamps Meltdown Man unleashed something unholy, and now that energy just follows you from platform to platform.

I curated my feed so it was almost completely focused on music creation, remixing, & DJing - with the odd bit of original animation & occasional acrobatic hip-hop dance crew. Not life changing, but a fun diversion for sure. I’ll miss some of those accounts.

That person is STILL arguing with anyone who dares to disagree. Some people age into peace & contentment, others curdle into an angry pile of mostly consumerism-based grievances.

Can't imagine the youth will be too bummed about their high energy video app being banned when they can just log onto blue sky and read sentences written by elder millennials

It’s true, he had a verse about it on “You Must Learn.”

I wouldn’t follow 68K people either!
