π΅ I Thought You Didn’t Even Like Leaving
This album, released in 2016, comes from the band Prince Daddy & the Hyena. I don’t have anything particular to say about this album other than I like it. Track 3 is my favorite.
π΅π Dan Deacon and Rat Film
I learned about Rat Film through my appreciation of Dan Deacon, an American composer and electronic musician. βTrippyβ is the first word that comes to mind when I listen to his albums.
In addition to producing his own music, Dan Deacon has produced the soundtrack to a few films. The soundtrack to Rat Film popped up in Spotify since I follow Dan Deacon and after hearing the first track, I knew that the film would look intriguing.
The film takes an abstract look at the relationship between rats and humans while exploring Baltimoreβs history. I do not have any insights or revelations to share after watching Rat Film. I simply thought it was beautiful and fun to watch, so I recommend the film to you.
π΅ The death of Tim Bergling/Avicii
Deaths are never good news, but the ones which take people who had a part in your life are especially hard. I certainly didn’t know Tim Bergling as a person. However, the music he produced under the name Avicii is special to me. He greatly influenced my taste in electronic music and simply hearing a few notes from many of his songs takes me back to specific moments and years in my life. Avicii’s monthly podcast called ‘Levels’ was an hour of music I always looked forward to. He helped me dance in the shower, push through many tough workouts, and entertain myself on long drives. The world of electronic music is a little quieter today without Tim Bergling.
π΅ Louder In Outer Space by Skating Polly
Hey, it’s a song about me!
