Today's Keyboard Smash
I've been attempting to get my emails, particularly newsletters, under better control. (Better than my usual method of dumping each one in its designated folder immediately upon arrival, where it will remain unread until the end of time, as far as I can tell.) To this end, I started reading one of the new issues of Web Curios, which just returned from hiatus in the last couple months. This is an enjoyable mishmash of internet weirdness, curated for my convenience. Considering I mostly just read the blurb for many of the entries, without actually visiting the link in question, convenience is one of my top priorities with this.
But! There are various music videos and such included. (There's also inline art as well, so it's nice to look at even when five sentences together is the limit of my reading capacity.) In the April 23rd issue, I quite enjoyed this one with a psychedelic*, mostly abstract art animation to go with it.
I can't even tell you what sort of music it is, though I did not find it offensive to the ears, but I could watch the shifting animations all day.
Then there's this mashup of music from the Oughts. It's not precisely a song, though it is nonetheless highly listenable.
The Oughts are not the first nostalgia music decade for me. But perhaps because that was when I became extremely online, the lot of this adds up to *a* soundtrack of my youth. Also, just from a technical standpoint, I love how they linked sections of one song to the next by key words or some thematic element. I'm always a sucker for that sort of chained structure in storytelling, poetry, what have you.
*On the subject of psychedelia, let me just also say that I am low-key still obsessed with these warmup circles clockways posted. I commented that they look like groovy dentist waiting room carpeting, and now I mourn deeply that I cannot have this pattern for a rug or something. Sheets. Waaaallpaperrrr... :D
