there is a severe problem with the formatting of the website in its current state. the background leaves are resizing the window, causing the display to freak out, especially when resized or zoomed. this is particularly evident on mobile browsers. i intend to fix this by implementing a canvas for the animated background. this will likely need to wait until the weekend.
ive been thinking about how i am going to roll out all of my socials soon. im still unsure of exactly how i want to do it. im so anxious about doing everything right and appeasing the algorithm that i feel immobilized. i think the main reason its so hard for me is that i don't know what the right moves are. it seems like you can do everything right and still get shadow banned or still get no traction. the numbers shouldn't be all that matters, but they're all i can think about.
listened to i love my computer by ninajirachi for the first time this week. its a really good album start to finish. love the energy. my favorite song on the album is either csirac or battery death. its rare that i enjoy an album start to finish these days, but this album really sunk its hooks in me. the production mixes the smooth, calm flows of 2000s trance with the more punchy stabs that i love in modern edm. the songs transition effortlessly into one another in a satisfying way. keeps the energy up. the lyrics are almost disconcertingly relatable. the nostalgia for adolescencence in the 00s mixes with complex emotions of growing up in the information age. i was thinking about infohazard today. as i was listening to the song, i was turning over in my head whether it was in good taste or not. it is a dance oriented song about a snuff film she stumbled onto when she was using the computer as a child. ultimately there is nothing wrong with the song. it is a product of her experience and an expression of her feelings about a complicated trauma in her childhood. expressing oneself through music can be cathartic. that the song has an upbeat tempo does not inherently make it light or positive. electronic music is as viable a medium as any for complex emotional expression, and this topic was handled tastefully. the remixes of some of the other tracks on the album have been excellent too. underscores' remix of its you melts. felt like i was 12 again listening to dubstep for the first time. also s/o horsegiirl, nice groove on the delete remix. if youre reading this go listen to the album god damn
