Apologies for no posts in the past few days, this will probably go on a little while longer, but will surely end soon.

Nothing's up. I just wanted to take it easy.

I spend 90% of my time at a pc since the year 1996 and it's kinda NO BUENO, and I can't do much in my current hometown IRL (my boundless disgust for it is such that i >>LITERALLY NEVER<< leave the house unless i MUST), but I'm trying, regardless, to dedicate some time to other things and start actually living again instead of spending 100% of my time waiting for things to improve or for something to happen as a requisite to live well while sitting my ass at the battlestation.
I've also had issues to attend to, the big kind; the kind of issues that have a 2030 expiration date and various fees. Maybe i'll tell at some point, it's quite a fucking story.
I'll keep complaining about figuring out WHAT/WHERE/HOW/WHY at a minimum, but I'm not going anywhere, just so you know.

tl;dr the admin touched grass this week (some may say he even smoked it)

It's a story as old as time for any fan of japanese music; easy come, easy go. But i hope that this small portion of history has been, at the very least, entertaining for you, and it comes with an album you'll appreciate as much as i do, maybe even without…

That being said, i couldn't just leave you without a musicpost this long. Today, you get Bajune Tobeta's Love Deluxe, ripped&scanned by yours truly.
No, you could not find this album on the internet before.
Yes, i bought it just to rip it.
Yes, you can have FLAC+LOG 100%.
Yes, i have more.
Yes, i'll upload the rest.
Yes, it's a pretty good album.
No, no need to thank me.
Yes, this post reads like a James Joyce novel, with yes all his yes and all my love and yes all my heart and all my yes i will keep yes posting and i will Yes.

Yes, i do love Ulysses.
I can't believe i forgot to make this post on the 1st!
it's around 3 and a half weeks till Christmas, and since it's the season for Christmas songs, carols and whatnot, let me give you some REAL fuckin Christmas classics up in here
You know Dancemania? the series of remix albums by i-DANCE? A lot of that stuff ended up in BEMANI (of course it did), namely DDR and Dance Maniax. It's a VERY GOOD series, and i strongly recommend it!
Anyway, one of the Dancemania SPEED releases (the happy hardcore series) is, you guessed it, a Christmas album!

DAS RITE, to get you all cozy and festive we're gonna start this (belated) first week of Advent with none other than

DANCEMANIA PRESENTS: HYPER NONSTOP MEGAMIX CHRISTMAS SPEED

With all the music you fucking hate from the holiday season, remixed with a twist of hardcore/eurobeat sound to make it just palatable and funny enough to have become a tradition for me and a bunch of friends for more than a decade.

The oddball Christmas stuff will keep coming, so stay tuned!

this is the ONLY way you're gonna get me to listen to the "Christmas songs that talk about anything and everything except actually Christmas" in any capacity, truth be told.

Is it any wonder that none of the (((authors))) of those songs were Christian? Kind of makes you think.

It's an unbelievably sunny day today. As much as i usually dislike autumn and winter, today really is pleasant and cozy.

I think i'm going for a walk soon. But first, a music post fitting the mood: today you're getting something more akin to Actual Music instead of the flurry of "arguably just simple fun" music i normally would post.

Today you get Laraaji's Ambient 3: Day of Radiance, produced by none other than Brian Eno.

Brian Eno is one of the few musicians of our time that really needs no introduction, and for fans of purely-instrumental music, neither do the Ambient 1-4 series. Music for Airports is another big favorite of mine.
This album was my introduction to Laraaji. I mean, it was for most people, it's his first album under that name (1980!); if you were to argue this was his best work, you could probably get away with it. From someone improvising music in a park, to working with one of the most renowned musicians in the modern era and becoming a big name in the ambient and then new age genre: it really is quite amazing.
The 3D soundscape effect that Eno worked to achieve with the production of this album works extremely well with the dreamy, ethereal sound that the dulcimer strings produce, and it results in one of the most colorful, peaceful and enjoyable albums i've ever had the pleasure of listening to. It's like i'm transported in a small cabin in the mountains, looking into the distance from the porch into a distant, immaculate landscape, bathed in the golden hues of a late afternoon still youthful enough to allow the luxury of quiet observation, and to focus on the passing breeze as to intimately understand its aroma and commit it to memory, preserved as a keepsake for a day in which you will undoubtedly need to recall it, for better or for worse. Listening to and passively hearing music are two obviously different things.

I really do think people in general dedicate their efforts to improving music tastes, music collections to the point of hoarding (i mean, i'm guilty of that too) and even music setups to listen to it better, but hardly anyone i've known so far really dedicates much thought to the process of properly enjoying music and focusing on it. Some may even say that music is very much alike what psychedelics can give you, and considering how important the set and setting rule is for both, i'm inclined to agree.
This of course doesn't apply to all music, especially what is being touted as such in the mainstream/popular scene, since i wouldn't dare give it the definition of "music" to begin with, let alone "art", but i digress. You get my point.

Further on the last point, this is one i really wish i had the vinyl of. Vinyl shines best with analog music, not the techno stuff, for obvious reasons. I can attest to the difference in sound quality and warmth when you listen to analog format, and besides, who doesn't like small rituals? Just setting it up, cleaning the record, and then listening to it without interruption is by itself a pleasure that really melds well with bright, pleasant instrumental songs. But lossless may just be good enough.

It really is the perfect album for a sunny winter day.

I get to choose the album, you get to choose the hot drink that accompanies it, deal?
Have a great Saturday.
on another note, i can't believe how many old kino anime the people at nendoroid are dusting off for their new figures. I just kind of wish it wasn't just nendos /popup parades, they're cute but they're not as pretty as actual scale figures

that said, i might cop this one just because it's from Saber Marionette J like i did with the Lain one.

Lime is great..
