Hey, making yet another post about some music I listened to at 2:00 while out on a midnight walk. I’m gonna put a disclaimer for whoever may see this post but I just want to vent a little bit at the bottom of this post and if you’re only interested in the albums then here they are with some of my thoughts on them written underneath.

Earl Sweatshirt and The Alchemist - VOIR DIRE (2023)

An amazing album with vivid wordplay by Earl and The Alchemist's immaculate and beautiful beats to serenade the listener. My only real complaint is that it's only 22 minutes long. I'll give it a 10/10.

CYBEREALITYライフ - Midnight Walk (2013)

I had this album written down in a list for a long time now and i figured it would fit to listen to this during my walk. I never saw when it was released until i checked near the last few tracks. I thought that it was more of a chopped & screwed record near the first half as the beats were slowed down and the vocals were slowed and also pitched down a bit. Also, a majority of the tracks used beats from MF DOOM. Overall for a vaporwave album released in the infancy of the genre, I'll give it a 8/10.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, to vent. I've mentioned in some posts that I sometimes go on midnight walks just to clear my mind but sometimes it doesn't feel like it works too well. I never want to use my blog as a place to vent fully and air out my problems and make it other peoples problems or just seem like I'm doing some sort of attention seeking post to stoke the flames of activity on my page. I feel like a fucking loser sometimes cause I either get a nervous stutter sometimes or realize my voice sounds like I'm slurring words together or repeating the same few words. It doesn't help either that putting out applications and getting nothing back is just a bit disheartening. I don't know if these episodes of sad feeling or other awful shit would lessen if I go back to therapy or just fix my sleep schedule. Forgive me for venting publicly like this, whether you're a mutual to me or some random stranger on here who just managed to find this post in some fucked up irony. Either way, I thank you for your time and I wish you a good day/night, good health, and that things get better for whoever may read this. I don’t have any plans or ideations but I’m gonna hop off and probably take a nap.

Followed through with my plans and I gave Resin another shot and I think I find it almost on par with Ramona. I remember talking with a mutual in the past about it and I remember describing its vibes on par with an infomercial VHS which I believe is somewhat accurate but with this relisten, I felt like I managed to piece together a bit of a story with it. I feel as though it’s a story of Bill after his success with his album Ramona and trying to make it more out there, hence the intro of the album with the character DJ Hentai Daddy who makes fun of him and his music and tells him how these people want something fire. This leads to Bill incorporating and emulating some rap that you’d probably hear coming from the south or directly mentioning other artists like Big Boi of Outkast or DJ Screw but also hiding away his true music or perhaps his real self on the other half of tracks. Near the end he begins to realize just how lonely and draining it is to try and ride this wave of success yet there’s no conclusion, as if the story is still going or Bill is trying to still find an answer to his problem. Even if I’m overthinking this or I’m just sounding like I’m spewing bullshit, this album had struck a chord with me that I’d never knew it could hit. I might not relate to the fame of it or the success but just the vulnerability he talks about in some of the lyric just hit different and had me see it in a new light.

I’m sorry if the last sentence sounded depressing. I also managed to get two pics that I’d like to share of an abandoned building I’ve posted about before. Think of it like an update.

The power to the building seems to have finally been shut off. I don’t know if the power was shut off manually by workers or was knocked out by the storms in the area but I can say one thing for sure, it’s probably never coming back on. The area around it was much darker in person than the way they appear now when I took the pictures.

New Kill Bill single! It’s sounds amazing and reminds me of his earlier stuff off Ramona and Resin even though Bill didn’t produce the track. I wonder if this means we’ll be getting a new album? Oh well. Will probably go for a walk in the rain about an hour after this post is made and give Resin another shot.

I decided to go for a walk about an hour ago at the time of posting while it was still storming out and give Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge another listen and to also clear my head about some shit but that’s not what I’m here to focus on. Overall, I still prefer the black parade over three cheers due to the black parade’s storytelling and the way it plays with different genres for certain songs but maybe it’s just because the storyline of someone dying from cancer hits a soft spot for me. Does this mean I hate three cheers? Not at all. I do like some songs off of it but it might take me a few more front to back listens before I can properly enjoy the storyline and other songs in it.

My walk was a bit hectic since there was a huge thunderstorm going on and a bit of high winds so I’d have to hold my umbrella very steady and fix my hair every 20-30 seconds. Glasses got some rain splashed on them so it slowly got harder to see through them. Though, now I’m just bored and not very tired so if you’re reading this post at anytime and you want to talk or just give an album recommendation, my dms are always open and I’m always down to talk.

had contractors come by and forgot i was wearing this shirt

It’s 3:52 at the time of writing this and I’m a bit bored right now. If you’re reading this rn then feel free to dm me if you want to talk, ask me questions, or just tell me some album recommendations to check out. I’ve got nothing better to do and I’d like to talk to somebody. If you’re a mutual on here or a stranger who found this post, feel free to do whatever.

Me when a member of my Cougar Squad returns to my lair with more salacious dirt on one of my many enemies

@foolscliff

thinking about that gambling addict who made the most sophisticated bomb the fbi had come across (at the time) and put it in a casino as revenge and the fbi couldn't disarm it so they had to evacuate the area

@foolscliff

When I scroll through your blog I feel as if I'm descending a dark well and I'll never be seen again

@babycrusadenut

i dont think i ever posted this here but i adore the idea of splicing together bumper stickers

Embarrassed myself a few days ago and since then I've been periodically going like this

Ignore the part where he gets naked that's not part of it.

Hello everyone. It's been quite some time since i last posted and I'm truly sorry but i shall try and be a little more active. Anyways, here are some (pretty overdue) albums i had listened to. Enjoy.

Usually I'd give my favorite tracks but I felt burnt out with music in general but I feel refreshed enough to go back to listening to albums. I believe that my first album back will either be Revolutionary Vol. 1 by Immortal Technique or 2014 Forest Hills Drive by J. Cole but I think I'll go with the first choice as one song has me curious from it. Have a good day/night.

My box set of Chromakopia came in! It took me forever to figure out how to assemble the container but I got it now. Will probably post a bunch of albums that I listened to recently since I’ve been forgetting to post here.

Decided to listen to an album before I try and get some sleep and figured that it’d be best to enjoy fall with some Midwest Emo. Today was Best Buds by Mom Jeans. The best way to describe this album is like going to college to forget about a failed relationship and all the memories that were there but then ending up feeling fear that your new college lover will forget about you. To me, I feel like it was amazing at painting those kinds of pictures with it and found myself somewhat sympathizing with some of the lyrics. Though, there are a few things that I find funny. For example, the lead singer throughout the album sounds like Mordecai from Regular Show and in one song, they use a sample from the show Bob’s burgers. Overall, I loved this album and recommend this album be checked out.

Favorite tracks: Movember, Edward 40hands, *Sobs Quietly*, Poor Boxer Shorts, Remy’s Boyz, Scott Pilgrim vs. My GPA, Vape Nation.

Thought I woke up at 1:50 pm but it was am. Now I gotta find some shit to do.

Sat down and listened to an album that @delarai recommended me. This is Lupe Fiasco’s Samurai. I really enjoyed this project and the clever lyrics and storytelling in tracks like Mumble Rap, Palace and Bigfoot. The production throughout it is also amazing. The first beginning tracks like Samurai and Cake is like early Lupe but the latter half is more relaxed and almost lofi-esque until it circles back at the end with Til Eternity. Overall, really solid project.

Favorite tracks: Samurai, Mumble Rap, No. 1 Headband, Bigfoot, Cake.

Rest in peace to an underground rapper/producer and veteran of the New York Fire Department, Ka. I listened to Orpheus vs the sirens a while back but I remember falling in love with the production and samples throughout the album and Ka’s raspy vocals as the whole album reminded me of something by MF DOOM. If you have the time, please check out this album, you won’t regret it. As for me, I’m gonna check some of his solo projects he made.

About me

Hello. My name is Thomas or Thom (either is fine.). Welcome to my blog! I will usually post about music in this blog but I will also occasionally post about other things as well. I love music a lot and listen to a lot of different genres that it feels hard to keep track of sometimes. My favorite genres as of right now would probably be Memphis rap, Vaporwave, R&B, and probably rock/metal as well. I'm a huge fan of JPEGMAFIA, Denzel Curry, MF DOOM, Three 6 Mafia, Kill Bill, and Kanye West. I can play piano and have some sheet music but i wouldn't say I'm too good at it. I also love video games and play a bunch of them but I still have so many to beat. I usually play on Xbox and Nintendo Switch. I'd love to talk with people about anything and make new friends so if you want, feel free to dm me or whatever and I'll usually respond since I usually don't got much to do. Thank you for taking the time to read this and have a good day!

Preordered a shirt and a physical copy of RAMONA on CD since they were limited edition releases for the 10 year anniversary and it arrived early! I love the quote from kill bill on the inside of the case. It feels good to finally own these.

Old building that was closed and took some photos of the interior a while ago. Maybe I should check it out and see if anything has happened
