Joli croissant de Lune sur la baie des anges à Nice hier soir.

So I just found out about this Japanese retail chain who exclusively plays BEAUTIFUL folk music for ambiance youtu.be/J6IVI1NRl6E Somehow never saw one in my whole six months spent in Tokyo It's now a life goal of mine to go shop at one

youtu.be/7PjygMMC4Mk Holy FUCK how have I never heard this version before????

On the topic of Minna no Uta classics / schoolchildren songs used as Nichijou EDs, I've long thought this one sounds eerily like a scrapped Utena duel theme. youtu.be/SP0sP67XbMM

The beauty of playing a liked songs on shuffle : the Nichijou version of "My Ballad" playing right before this beautiful rendition of "Green Green", which is also one of the show's endings : youtu.be/U_AY5PZ6RXk

Isn't it funny how we, the only species to ever understand the mechanics of evolution, armed with clear data on what helped our species adapt to and thrive in its environment, have now decided to collectively do everything to ineluctably ensure that this environment will no longer support us?

It's a relief to know that the violin part in Turii ~Panta Rhei~ is sequenced, because my soul hurts imagining any violin player forced to execute this youtube.com/clip/UgkxDwh...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_-u... Among all of @mcalby.bsky.social's outstanding work, this gem sits firmly in my top 5. No other music could so easily go with the scene it was composed for, to the point where it comes to mind when I reread the comic. What a legend.

Put out a humble little cover of one of @mcalby.bsky.social's unforgettable tunes! Thank you, good sir, for being a video game legend! youtu.be/Q6wkyLIx8oQ

When you actively make a stance against something, you're expected to hold it up and taking a stance against AI while still using it in your work actively damages your integrity as a creator, especially in a series where the consequences of technology missuse is a common theme. Just disappointing.

The Justice Dept. has authorized law enforcement officers to GO INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES WITHOUT SEARCH WARRANTS if they suspect that someone is an "alien enemy" I talked to @usatoday.com about Attorney General Bondi's "Guidance for Implementing the Alien Enemies Act," links below

I was talking yesterday night with a friend about how incredibly bold Suzume (2022) was in its approach of a real-life, recent, traumatic catastrophe. And yet, one thing we both agreed on is the fact that every other non-Japanese viewer we've spoken to completely missed what this catastrophe was.

...okay, but now that I've finished Trials and Tribulations, Allegro 2004 is genuinely so amazing too.... I'm genuinely torn over which one I prefer

new platform means i get to remake the thread of the hand drawn doodles i packed with charm orders that included both twins! ill post one of em every day! heres one i had done for one of my earliest customers!

Gosh, I don't know what it is, but Questioning ~ Allegro (2001) is such a perfect piece of music. The tension of the endlessly repeating bass. The hesitant hope dormant in the harmony. And most especially, the way the harmony falls completely silent on the strong beats of the B section.

Had a hypnagogic thought this morning of a Dora the Explorer spoof about authoritarian socialist states "So tell me, comrades! Do you see communism? [...] That's right! It's not here! But we'll reach it someday!" And then I realized it's basically the plot of A Cow A Cat and the Ocean

It's surprising to me that there seems to be no one online talking about the amusing similarities between Curly Brace (Cave Story) and Mania Ohtorii (Battle Mania/Trouble Shooters).
