Listening to music is the perfect way to overwrite distorted spooky sounds ✨

From heathensquirrel:

Make a 20-track comp of your all-time fav tracks, each artist can only feature once. Not the ‘best’ songs, the ones that bring instant joy the second you hear the first note, the ones that give other people the best insight into what stirs your soul.

I also made myself include only one song per anime series.

Watched this because of a rec from deus-ex-moshina. The premise: some obaasans set up a ghost marriage and tell the homophobic main character who picks up the angbao that if same sex marriage is legal in the living world it’s obviously also in the ghost world. OBVIOUSLY.

This Side of Japan posted that this month is the anniversary of Rusty Nail going No. 1 on the Oricon Charts, so of course it’s time to rewatch the Last Live performance (cw: flashing).

Every time I watch the Last Live I feel a sense of nostalgia for something I wasn’t old enough to be part of at the time. The ultimate concert experience is the crowd singing along to Endless Rain with no backing for a full minute. I did experience a singalong like this at an X Japan concert in 2010, but the QE Theatre is not Tokyo Dome. (Still an amazing experience, of course.)

It’s funny, because I don’t consider X Japan one of my bands of all time, but it’s definitely one of my most memorable concerts. Similarly, hide’s solo music is not really my thing but I always associate certain yellow jackets with hide (cw: flashing).

I feel similarly towards any formative j-rock band with great stage presences like Luna Sea (who I have also seen live). Instant nostalgia hit whenever I watch their live videos even though I only got into them well past their golden eras. The key imo is that the live video has to feel low budget and chaotic, like this one of cali≠gari’s — I don’t connect as much to their newer live videos! There’s something essential about the joy of making and performing music to the feeling of concert nostalgia.

Time to re-rip Ja, Zoo because I like Pink Spider now!

well i guess i’m finally setting up my personal website now!

kicked off a busy week with louis’ concert in vancouver monday night!

I was wondering where the good music was and then everyone I like released albums in the last eight days of May.

finally i have found a html editor buggier than ao3’s: tumblr’s html editor for their new post type. not only does it change your html, it moves your html tags around body text when you save. so a closing tag that was originally at the end of a word can just up and walk to the middle of a word.

the markdown editor is just as bad. when you reopen posts originally made with markdown, it converts line breaks to <br> plus two newlines, which of course is a new paragraph in markdown.
