That's a cool website, ribbons! The random everydayness of it is quite appealing - perhaps dangerously appealing, if you hope to use your time productively.

^ Glad you like it, Lisna! Clicking through that site can be a Zen-like experience. Someone in Mesa, Arizona (if memory serves) has a hummingbird feeder right outside their window.

"Crimson Wave" video / Emergency Tampon riot grrrl band / The Bleeders / "Go With the Flow" - too funny! You're on a streak, people.

Which reminds me: it's been a long time since I've listened to The Cramps.

"And now, here's The Cramps with their hit single, Potassium Deficiency!"

Call me butter.

No takers? Fine.

1. If you could take back all the time you've spent listening to music and spend it on something else, would you?

2. Is the grass always greener on the other side?

3. At what age did you stop dressing up for Halloween, assuming you dressed up at all? If you haven't stopped, what are you dressed as tonight?

4. You are selected as the DJ for an event that features both Joe Biden and Donald Trump - they are looking for a song that builds suspense for the presidential race - what's the first song you play?

5. You're going to die before midnight strikes - you've already said your goodbyes to your loved ones - you have every drug at your fingertips, what's the first one you indulge in?

6. Let's assume Covid-19 never happened - would your life be better? Would it be worse? Why?

1. If you could take back all the time you've spent listening to music and spend it on something else, would you?
hell no
2. Is the grass always greener on the other side?
no, it's fabulously pink
3. At what age did you stop dressing up for Halloween, assuming you dressed up at all? If you haven't stopped, what are you dressed as tonight?
I've never dressed up or celebrated (being Dutch), but if corona hadn't been a thing I would totally have dressed up as Wholesome Chad

4. You are selected as the DJ for an event that features both Joe Biden and Donald Trump - they are looking for a song that builds suspense for the presidential race - what's the first song you play?
**** building suspense, I'd play the song they deserve to be confronted with:

5. You're going to die before midnight strikes - you've already said your goodbyes to your loved ones - you have every drug at your fingertips, what's the first one you indulge in?
The only drugs I've ever really been curious about are psychedelics so LSD I guess? But the real answer is none.
6. Let's assume Covid-19 never happened - would your life be better? Would it be worse? Why?
it isn't possible to know for sure of course, but I think it would be much better. I've whined about covid before, re: increased social anxiety, personal growth on pause, depressed feelings etc.

1. If you could take back all the time you've spent listening to music and spend it on something else, would you?

I could wish I'd spent any amount of time on something more productive but that's basically wishing you were someone else who is more productive, so no. My music listening habits correspond to who I am and I can't be anyone else so whatever.

2. Is the grass always greener on the other side?

I always assume there's better weed I could be smoking.

3. At what age did you stop dressing up for Halloween, assuming you dressed up at all? If you haven't stopped, what are you dressed as tonight?

Middle school so pre-teen I guess.

4. You are selected as the DJ for an event that features both Joe Biden and Donald Trump - they are looking for a song that builds suspense for the presidential race - what's the first song you play?

5. You're going to die before midnight strikes - you've already said your goodbyes to your loved ones - you have every drug at your fingertips, what's the first one you indulge in?

DMT sounds like a ****ing trip (trollface).

6. Let's assume Covid-19 never happened - would your life be better? Would it be worse? Why?

I got $1200 but business at work has been a meat grinder since so much **** is closed and I'd pay $1200 to not have had to work this hard all year.
