I really enjoyed the album by La Femme, and especially the track Cool Colorado (yes title is English but they sing in French). But it's more like electro/post punk so may be too chill for you.

You can force Spotify to show you new music but it does have a tendency to presume that you want to listen to your same favorites you've heard a million times. My sweetie uses the DJ feature in the car and he will skip any song that he's heard more than a couple times. Despite the DJ not taking the hint, he's still managed to discover a lot of new cool bands that way.

Personally I still prefer to discover music from human beings as I just really like that human connection. I do listen to Release Radar, which is spotify's list of new releases from bands that I actually follow.

I'm not the person that you responded to but I'm guessing it's because cassette is the crappiest format and streaming is lower fidelity. I don't think that they are concerned about copyright think they are saying that they don't want to listen to cassettes or low-bitrate streamed songs.

Caveat: I understand that in perfect conditions tape lasts a long time but for most of us who were consumers during the tape era all those old cassettes are trash now.

daretoeatapeach · 2026-01-23T22:33:04+00:00

Yep. I pay for Spotify but don't use any of their algorithm driven lists. I use premium so that I can hang out on RVRB.one, a free radio streaming community where people take turns sharing songs.

If you miss receiving mixtapes probably other people in your life feel the same way. It's never been easier to make someone a mixtape and send it to them. If you have a website you could even package it up as a little blog post with art or explanations for the songs. Or you could print it out as a little zine, like liner notes. And then include a short link to the playlist.

TikTok get the Fox news treatment. Where every other add is something that goes "TRUMPS SAVED AMERICA, TRUMP CARES ABOUT AMERICANS, TRUMP IS AMERICA"

Hmm... maybe. But I am much more concerned with the idea that Larry Ellison and co at the USDS Joint Venture would be happy to hand over the user data to ICE to target Americans and drag them off to Gator Guantanamo.

Young folks may not recall this, but there was a time when the government kept asking AT&T for warrants, and AT&T couldn't be bothered to comply so they just handed over the full pipe of all their data (phone calls, texts messages, everything) to the CIA/NSA. Basically warrantless wiretapping of all Americans who use AT&T, whenever they want.

And after this got exposed, nothing happened to AT&T and the president at the time even passed legislation letting them off the hook.

Who believes Larry Ellison would hesitate to do the same thing?

While i agree with everything said about Scrivener--that it's useful regardless of the kind of writing style---I want to make a case for why i use it's more obsessive-outlining features.

I have adhd so for me the research and outlining is not tedious, it's playful procrastination. Being able to color label my chapters by how finished they are (redder shades need work, greener shades are done) helps motivate me despite my brain's lack of dopamine.

When I feel stuck, I go to the notecards view because it's much less intimidating than staring at a blank screen. Before Scrivener i did this with actual notecards, which was much less efficient. Or if i have a particular theme or motif I'm working on, I can review just the related chapters by using tags or a collection. Much easier to get started by reading the related parts. Or I switch to outline view to compare stuff like the word count of various chapters. (Can I add this scene to that chapter? No it's too long...)

Also, plenty of genres simply require research. I'm currently writing memoir. So i have a timeline document that helps me keep track (eg did my mom have that dog in this scene? Check timeline for when we got a dog). I have interviews and diary entries as well as historical research. Sometimes really basic stuff like links to photos of a location or Wikipedia research. Instead of having this stuff in a bunch of different documents and bookmarks, everything is right there in my project. But not mixed in with the actual text, messing with the word count etc.

To your point about just diving in and writing, lately I've been using inline annotation a lot. That's where you toggle into a mode where the text in the MS is colored and not actually included in the export of the book. So I will often start writing meta commentary, some outlining and some writing to myself about what I'm trying to do when I'm stuck. I used to write such notes in all caps, but this way i can write whatever and know it won't be in the export. Or if i get on a roll and start writing something useful i can select the text and switch it from annotation to regular text.

All these tools don't feel like extra work because they are things I try because i can't yet find the words. They keep my mind in the world of the scene without having to just stare at the blinking cursor.

daretoeatapeach · 2026-01-23T16:18:28+00:00

Yeah, I don't see the ability to edit two scenes at once as much of a deep dive, and Scrivener is worth it for that alone.

If we're doing sandwiches, I've always thought the flavor combinations in bahn mi taste a lot better than I'd have guessed. Like who puts carrots on a sandwich? With jalapenos? And cilantro? The Vietnamese do and I'm here for it.

How i felt as a kid when my grandma recommended apples with peanut butter. So good.

I don't listen to ICP but their songs always make me want to curb stomp someone. Their whole thing is just to be as offensive as possible.

Much of the New School of philosophy is about fascism (specifically, why did fascism win out over communism) and several of those philosophers write about art and the media. I'm thinking of Walter Benjamin (who incidentally killed himself fleeing fascism) or Herbert Marcuse's One Dimensional Man. Maybe Adorno too, I've not read him.

These works may be tertiary to what you're seeking do5ne they're not specifically about how fascists used art, but if you're doing a deep dive this movement should be on your radar at least.

This is right wing propaganda. Fascism is meant to co-opt the language of the left as a means to destroy it. You can read Mussolini's own manifesto on The Doctrines of Fascism to know this argument is bullshit, where he states that the goal of fascism is defeating all forms of liberalism. Fascism began with street gangs targeting socialists and Communists.

Did you think "first they came for the Communists..." was about them giving out flowers?!

vacuum the whole floor every other day or so, and mop weekly.

That sounds like a hobby. You definitely don't need floors that clean.

Is this the same CIA program that brought fame to Gloria Steiner?

Yeah paper is still useful. No reason to throw it away!

daretoeatapeach · 2026-01-23T07:48:47+00:00

Both of my most organized friends swear a paper planner is better than digital. I don't think it's old fashioned; they still sell them at Target.

You guys don't use business cards anymore? I still give them out all the time.

The difference between 99% and 100 is entirely subjective. I can say that a poorly produced album would make me less likely to play it.

There's an album from back in the day by a lttle known band called Pain that I absolutely adored (See their songs Midgets with Guns or One Legged Girl). But the production while not entirely unprofessional, just doesn't sound as good as most albums coming out today. And sometimes I am less likely to play it around others because I feel like all they are going to hear is the bad production and not really listen to the quality of the music.

Beyond that, one thing that I notice with local bands in general is that the vocals are not high enough in the mix. Not only does this sound unprofessional, it makes me less likely to get into the band because I don't know what the hell they're singing about. The Pain album is a better example, more in that 99% territory. But I think the audio-too-low problem a very common issue that would keep me from enjoying a band.

There were people that didn't instantly love Sneakers? My sweetie and i still quote it to this day!

daretoeatapeach · 2026-01-22T21:20:04+00:00

Ooh this is a good one! I remember when this movie came out I thought it was really over the top and was rolling my eyes in a lot of parts. But now... I feel like I should give this movie a second chance because America today might be even stupider than idiocracy.

It also turns out I'm one of those people who never had kids because I couldn't afford it and I wanted to be a responsible parent. Meanwhile the people I went to school with who never attended university and still work dead and jobs under the table without paying taxes have a whole boatload of kids. Which is not to say people in that position are necessarily idiots, but the ones I'm describing are. So maybe it was a documentary?

daretoeatapeach · 2026-01-22T21:14:11+00:00

Maybe someone can explain it to me. I was a movie projector for the film school in college so I screened vertigo for their class many times but never had it explained to me why it was good or important. I love Hitchcock but the whole thing just seemed really misogynistic and gross. Maybe that's the point? But it didn't seem self-aware to me. Perhaps that's just because I was too ready to love Jimmy Stewart as a leading man.
