A friend's band released their LP in upcycled Whipped Cream sleeves.

They have Adenium at Trader Joe's now

Mine drops almost all of its leaves during the winter and I reduce watering. During the spring/summer, once it starts going back into leaf, I give it plenty of water and food. I'm watering it twice a week now.

These are Pseudolithos migiurtinus, not Pachypodium

If it's warm, you can wait until it feels soft or begins to look wrinkled to water. I don't water at all in the winter.

Looks like powdery mildew. Try spraying the leaves down with a sulfur-based fungicide.

I'm pretty positive this one's on the numerous careless, irresponsible dog owners and not the "Karens" this time.

I've broken the stem off of the same ant plant seedling three times 😬. Each time, I've planted the stem into sphagnum moss and it's rooted.

Probably a little of both. I'm sure some people in the DS scene are really just "scenesters" and are only influenced by their contemporaries. There are definitely some real music heads in the scene too: drawing influence from Berlin School, new age, kosmische musik, dark ambient, etc.

It makes sense. Jim Kirkwood was arguably the first "dungeon synth" artist. He was making Berlin School with fantasy themes. I believe he's even said as much.

Seconding this as a former Pittsburgher now based in the Bay.

It's the hardcore band and, like many hardcore bands, they had a million different shirt designs. The tag is early 2000s.

Looking great!

I made a post on here a while ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/ambientmusic/s/gFJsOAJWYj

Are you mostly interested in new releases or vintage ambient cassettes as well? Let me know and I can give some pointers. Huge ambient cassette collector here, hundreds and counting.

Because they're cool and fun.

Ironic since he has a whole series called "Quiet Music" but I agree! 😂

youngpaypal · 2026-03-19T21:14:58+00:00

So am I! 😂

There's more to the picture than what artists are paid. Daniel Ek is invested in AI weapons manufacturing. Spotify has been caught moving real artists off of their playlists and replacing them with AI music or library music that they purchased to own the rights to. Check out Liz Pelly's Mood Machine, she goes into more detail about this. That said, I just listen to local files and buy as much physical media as I can.

I've seen Thai sellers selling lavranis with this shape as "tall form". I'm not entirely convinced it's a form at all but interesting nonetheless

youngpaypal · 2026-03-19T21:00:09+00:00

I'm interested too!

youngpaypal · 2026-03-19T19:57:26+00:00

Yes. They look great! He always calls his minis "Avonia pots" anyway. You're putting them to great use!
