OBJECTS IN MOTION

In 2020 I think I ran about 1100 miles. Late last year I stopped even syncing to Strava. I’m still running, just doing my best to have less technical items to deal with. All my runs are logged in my watch, then to the Fitness app. Whatever. No one gets to see them, no comparing my heart rate to someone else.

Thinking how I wish I wrote big blog posts for some of my epic runs and races. Something to scroll through here on my blog, rather than just a bunch of numbers and metrics. Sort of like how looking at a playlist on Spotify doesn’t have the same pizzaz as a CD booklet or gate fold.

BANDCAMP FRIDAY IS WONDERFUL

Bandcamp Friday is magical if you allow yourself to believe in magic.

#BandcampFriday is a day of being overwhelmed by the power of creativity! Wow, there’s just so much choice out there!! Where do we begin?”

Do I get a lot of emails? Sure.
Do I see a lot of Tweet threads from 100 people about music to check out? Yes.

Somehow this is a bad thing.

Without social media (at the moment), there is no source or curation for this. Music sites don’t do much around this probably (definitely) because a post about some band farting out a Nirvana cover gets more clicks.

So yeah… lots of people are throwing lots of links around to a lot of music, and it’s absolutely impossible to keep up with it all.

The best way to handle all of it?

Shut your mouth, click a link, and just buy something. The end.
