Nice, what book?

Getting back into reading has been one of the best things that happened to me. It is an amazing hobby once you get into just being able to just lay down and read for a few hours. It took a while but if you fprce yourself enough you will end up making a good habbit of it.

 

Edit: goes from ambient to pretty experimental IDM ish, forgot about that before posting. But I think there will be a fair bit of crossover between fans of one style and the other

That's true. It is a human trait. But at the moment the ones making that mistake again are the Americans.

It it was unprecedented, would it be more or less forgivable? I don't know really.

Mm it makes me very angry and sad to see peoples response to this. I feel like in Europe at least more and more people are becoming aware that it is not in fact just "the art of the deal", but serious. Still a lot of careful rethoric thrown around and a lot of people refuse accepting the situation (fascists in the white house) but it is getting better. I have no idea how it is in the US tho except for some news articles which don't tell me shit about what people think..

Alright, I am also autistic so I can understand your argument. I do the same but I also do my best these days to remember to "breathe" mentally so I don't get too invested in things and get isolated.

I am not saying you have a problem, I don't know you :) I just know that addiction generally is not only about how much you take and a lot about how you relate to and think about something. Of course, this is for psychological addictions, not physical. I experienced both and physical is way more terrifying, but just be aware that too many miscalculations can land you in physical addiction.

What let me keep using so long was that I was organized about it, so while friends died in overdoses or lost it and got arrested and attention which forced them stopping in some cases I didn't until a very long time in, at which point all the schedules and management in the world were not enough anymore and I lost it too. So just keep in mind that being so organized is good but you are betting a lot on your ability to make the correct calculations and if they are wrong that is a big bet to lose.

Still you do you, it is your body after all and you do what you want with yourself!

You might consider you are a bit too invested in this part of your life tho?

I once got asked by a friend about her older brother (in his 40s, has a family and child and fully functioning) about him starting smoking a lot of weed. I was asked because I used to have a serious addiction. And so I asked some questions, because doing drugs is not necessarily a sign of anything.

I explained to her that what to watch out for is trying to find a good reason why drugs are not the problem while continuously having problems in relation to them, caused by others or yourself is irrelevant. For example, trying to set up schedules for how much should technically be okay. Maybe glossing over miscalculations and bad experiences, trying the same things in different ways over and over. Basically, trying to really, really control something so much it takes up a very large part of your thoughts and time.

Now look I don't know you but from your post, you spend a lot of time thinking about drugs. If you do them often or not right now is not the question, how much time revolves around drugs and how important are they to you?

A two week break is no break and doesn't prove anything btw, and your friends being unsafe drinkers is not making anything you may or may not do better. Sure they are probably hypocrites and it doesn't sound like anything they are saying to you is helpful in any way, I agree on that. But maybe if one of them spent this much energy thinking about alcohol they would probably be called alcoholics?

I'm pissed at the american people.

Without getting into insults and earning a ban, they voted for this guy.

Ah shit I think you are right. Feels like I have had it forever but seems that was a false memory of some sort.

I bought it while I lived in my previous apartment which I feel was longer ago and so I got a bit confused with the dates I think lol. Thanks for pointing it out.

 

chill morning breaks

 

A VA compiled and mixed by a Dutch(?) DJ, DJ Athome. I thought it was just going to be your average compilation at first but it is very worth giving a listen to for any fan of Space Rock, Psydub or Psychadelic music in general as the DJ is mixing these styles seemlessly. Honestly one of my best finds this year.

Includes Ozric Tentacles, Eat Static, Divine Soma Experience and more.

 

Netsh is a hidden gem I really thought would stop being hidden, and just become a gem that everyone agreed was beautiful. Sadly, I never see any mentions of this artist online, and they don't seem to have many listeners on streaming platforms..

Netsh is without a doubt the most underrated artist I know, and I listen to a lot of obscure shit (good shit) so there are a lot of contenders to that title.

Btw, if you are a fan of Ambient, then the album "To My Creators" is an incredibly beautiful album, reminiscent in style (and quality) of Dylan Henner at times.

 
 

Sorry for second post today but I am finding a lot of good new releases today.

Atom TM is a very interesting artist in many different electronic genres. From literal elevator music to sexy techno and odd IDM adjacent and ambient. This one is a collection of ambient noise released over past ten years. I recently found him, so it is a first listen for me.

I'm on Texturen IV, so I haven't gone through all of it yet, but the first four alone are all really good.

(First one is a bit slow, but you could probably start from II with no problems).

 

Great new album I discovered today. Abrasive, harsh and peaceful.

 

I have a deep love for Houston and Memphis rap and g-funk. This is one of my favorite albums from the Houston scene. While there are many great album covers in the southern rap and hiphop scene this one is just so funny. Ocean Of Funk is a funny name, but coupled with a low-rider "surfin' the waves of funk", it becomes priceless to me.
