Shout-out to all the #blog posts we never got to write.
In case you were wondering how many script elements it takes to display a post on #Substack: 184 (!!!!!)
Substack has spent **so much time** making sure you don't auto-hide their subscription nag modal. I just spent some time inspecting it, thinking it was just an overlay + modal elements. Nooo sir-eee. All kinds of javascript doing things to every element on the page. And crazy noscript elements as well.
Randomly found a great artist on Bandcamp who, like me, isn't on streaming, hasn't released anything in a long time, and has all their stuff as free or ~$1
Here's another one I found while searching for Innocence Mission covers. This cover of Bowie is good: honeysuckleband.bandcamp.com/track/space-oddity-david-bowie (so far so are most of them on this record)
And now I've realized they got costumes for the Bowie video, and he plays the keys, bass, and drums as well. š¤Æ At first I was like, "All the musicians have the same hair!?" š It's an electronic drum kit which I couldn't tell just from listening. I might be getting an electronic drum kit since cycling won't be as much a thing for me going forward, even after I can walk. The acoustic kit is so loud, people and cats do not like. The handclaps in the video are also fun.

"Careful observation gives you evidence of capacity and pattern. What someone can actually sustain in the real world. Careful listening gives you access to their consciousness, to what they pay attention to, value, and believe about themselves and the world around them. Watch long enough and you see who they are. Listen long enough and you hear the story they're living inside. Integrity, aspiration, delusion, and hypocrisy all live in the gap between these."

Particularly like the title track of this random find tylerramsey.bandcamp.com/album/new-lost-ages
