hello to my friends enjoying the nine inch nails poll! i'm sorry to say that's a band i've yet to truly connect with. but i am lurking on the thread! i was reading and skimming some nin stuff, but well, dissociative disorder, so here's a dreamy dub reggae cover of "hand that feeds" by bay area indie rockers abracadabra-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs3ZPRSY5Y4
it's neat!

a thought occurs:growing up, going to the school dances/assembly/extracurricular parasocial gatherings, i always wanted to hang outside because that's where the music sounds best coming through a PA. that's where you get the best echoes and natural delay (which is made extra super fun when most of the music being played over said soundsystem is late 80s/early 90s pop music with big gated snare drums). i was having so much over there by myself because the music sounded fucking awesome. and like, not 2 b rude, but i can hang with you guys anytime. i can't hear "escapade" like this just whenever i want.
so anyway, the thought:this may? have contributed to people thinking of me as antisocial.

[ED. NOTE: this translates to the music they make, too-- reverb+delay don't do most of the work, they do all of it. never felt so complimented as when i was told my music sounded like it was recorded underwater. like ally sheedy at the end of breakfast club, i felt so pretty+noticed.]

this post was inspired by clemenza's recent shoutout to nana mouskouri. thank you for posting

the female pop crooners of my generation were folks like juice newton, linda ronstadt (sp?), etc. meh from me mostly. as ever, i've been set on researching what was happening elsewhere and that's brought me to some early 80s latin soft rock. olga is fairly in charge on this one and it feels like it may just sit in with some open-minded lovers rock sets. really good jam. this one's a hit, boys.

btw if anyone wants to follow along+hear some of the stuff talked about here+other tangents upon tangents, i keep a playlist on spotify called redundant chicanery: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0IPabgAjcOalDzsYVYKVGB?si=bpoEMqAcScqoPdQ6Cl49Fg&pi=eDJvYVb3Q2qTZ
i just treat it like my personal radio station and it's got some context/guidelines for not me listeners:-shuffle only. yer gonna have a bad time otherwise. optional, but i recommend also toggling the repeat all to on to completely dip yrslf into the batter for deep frying.-it changes all the time every day.-on that note, some songs stick around for years, others for a matter of hours.-it's over 30 hrs presently, but has been as short as 5 hours. -i'm a nerd so there are a good chunk of offline things. if you're so compelled, i think most of the "greyed out for not me listeners" selections are available on youtube.
it's really just meant to confuse the listener with similar sounds from mildly disparate sources. very ilm-friendly.

search: carrot top records. nothin else, really. just checking out what's available and it ranges from the coctails and archer prewitt's stuff through poi dog pondering side projects and on to americanaish indie folk rocky stuff like this-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rctc_LzxDdkfebruary - "trace" (1997)
v cool.

saturday night smokefest brought about this passionate exclamation from our host:
i just don't understand how you can take yourself seriously as a music fan if you're not interested in new sounds.
in terms of enthusiasm, it certainly beats this one from yesteryear-https://i.imgur.com/TEuVBr0.jpeg

that's an actual quote btw. i specificallyrequested comic sans, too.
