so yeah I've officially decided that Spotify is way better than Soulseek for discovering music because Spotify ACTUALLY REMEMBERS THAT ASIA AND AFRICA AND LATIN AMERICA EXIST AND THAT THERE IS ACTUAL MUSIC THAT COMES FROM THOSE PLACES WOW. I put my Walklady and main external hard drive up in my closet so that I could FREE MYSELF from the chains of compulsive music listening but then I got addicted to Spotify so eh fuck that. Music is my life! I'm coming to realize more and more. I don't need to lose weight, I don't need to transition, I don't need a girlfriend, I just need Spotify. 8\ 

though the only new things I've listened to have been Marian Anderson's album about her cat, Snoopy, which is adorable, and that Pauline Oliveros composition that has no ratings on RYM though it shares its name with another one of her works and, currently, Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe's Onye Ije Anatago, which is just kind of there by highlife standards, but I am going to be GORGING myself on filmi and fuji and free jazz and lord knows what else for a while.
