Today's radio is the newest playlist created by yours truly as part of a series in my evolving musical inventory! After reverting back to the original Pretty Lights album collection for a bit, then alternating between that and my Vaporwave compilations playlist for radio, I realized it is time to get going on something that actually furthers my listening tastes. Avoiding staleness in musical collections can be a bit challenging, though knowing what I'm doing helps. While normally I would be adverse to such collections personally created by hand, I have certainly run into this snag of recent compilations filling long term gaps in my current situation. As such, the idea behind these playlists is to have enough, at least three but preferably four or five (the number of compilations in the Vaporwave playlist, about forty minutes each, give or take ten). Specifically they are in the spirit of the Vaporwave playlists-- radio that you can have sex to. What's crucial about having made this third one is that now I can use the combination as the next radio, despite being a bit out of practice on the playlist creation end.
In fact, that could even be spun as good, since now the music of the 2010's is all made-- since enough of my previous collections are from the larger movement of this music, dating back to She and Dilla. Of course, credit goes to the ENM Youtube for unwittingly putting a She song in its own library, therefore confirming my suspicions that my original music is 'proto' Vaporwave. My decision to wait on getting into the music was not in vain!
My thoughts circle what the flok from the meeting today mentioned. The person actually said that they cam as well, obviously far more seriously than I (even a little would be)! So eventually we got around to talking about Discord and school and all these age gap issues. They were saying how you really will be in a class with a thirty five year old and a sixteen year old, and what do you do then? In the class it's all well and good sure, but extending the concept further, we discussed how as the thirty five year old, you aren't going to see enough difference between a seventeen year old and an eighteen year old. All legality aside, to you they are impressionable. So this means we want to take a sociological angle on this here-- in what ways do Millennials and Gen Z ultimately communicate? What is that like? Are there rules to this? Being the two digital generations, what will make this different from the last time old flox blamed younger generations?!
The other, um, concern of mine let's say is maintenance of steady progress. I'm going at my own pace and still winding up productive today, simply through the actual doing. But then what? It isn't just being at a point where I don't even bother to examine my weed or booze amounts/aesthetic, it's that instead I'm bothering with work-- technical progress, even losing myself in One Piece for a couple days counts. Witnessing my time align with my goals again is strange. I was so used to getting everything done in spite (or perhaps because) of inebriation, I may have taken it for granted. Further, in the event I really -am- seeing the change up here, it's time to watch out.
The whole reason I avoided much of this work at the time it was assigned is due to the unbearable amount which accumulated combined with the fact that anytime I began to do some, it would be met with the attitude that I either haven't done enough yet or something to that effect. Or even giving me more! It's like the ponzi scheme version of stop hitting yourself. Paradoxically, sitting on my ass all day and focusing on what's most enjoyable to an even hedonistic extent is what got me somewhere. But, that was then, and this is now. There -is- a lot left over from all this, and whether or not it actually happens, staying the same is out and making the necessary adjustments is in.
