Wild that billions of years ago a planet existed specifically in the habitable zone of exactly the right type of star with the perfect atmospheric condition and elementary composition for abiogenesis, and as a result of that I have to pay taxes to genocidal pedophiles

What should my treat for this month be: Burial's Untrue vinyl or a Stars of the Lid t-shirt?

You decide!

Finally a national holiday I don't have to work for, two extra days off.

You are right. I love ambient music, but a lot of it these days is more ignorable than interesting (though the latest Rafael Anton Irisarri and KMRU albums are ace).

There's too much ambient music. Things would improve if ambient musicians had to produce a symphonic power metal LP, a Carnatic grindcore ballet or a jazz fusion opera in F# Phrygian once every 5 years, just to show they can (cf The Straight Story) before being allowed to fire up the reverb again.

Palestinian Nat'l Initiative Sec. Gen. Mustafa Barghouti was in the audience at the Munich Security Conference, where he warned leaders they are living in a “bubble of illusion” as Israel expands settlements, buries Oslo, and openly calls for resettling Gaza and ethnically cleansing Palestinians...

Go to shows and buy merch directly from artists when you can afford it. Bum someone a smoke outside the show and talk to them about their music. Dance to music at shows and don’t look at your phone while someone is performing.

Buy an mp3 player, pay for digital copies of music when you can afford it and pirate it when you can’t until you’re back in a position in which you can. Listen to the collection of music that you own and cultivated by hand and ear. Listen to it again. Share your collection with others.

Kin, by KMRU 6 track album

This is great.

We live in the stupidest timeline.

Ovde podseća na Šapića.

Пред 42 години на денешен ден се отворија Зимските олимписки игри во Сарајево. Се сеќавам колку ли бевме среќни дека во нашата држава се одржува еден таков настан. Во таа чест еден поостер со двата симболи на градот (едниот го бранеше другиот го прослави) Валтер и Вучко.
