"So you know how you don't know the first thing about music, and this is increasingly a source of sorrow to you? Learn a damn musical instrument. You live in a cabin in the woods with only one housemate who's gone in the summers anyway; if you ever want to get a guitar or a keyboard and plunk away at it without a million people hearing you, now is the time."

whatever you do, don't lose your HD with all that UK funky, that stuff is never getting properly archived and curated

You think vinyl has gotten expensive since you began picking it up in 2001?! Get hoarding, chappie.

you're missing your copy of the doors' strange days, make sure you don't accidentally put it in with stuff you're selling/trading.

Yep same. In the last seven years, I've gone from "all new music I hear is not as good as what I already love so why bother" back to my high-school-days listening habits of finding amazing new music weekly

2020: Phhew, I've just started my first real job this year2013: But I've just graduated !2020: Yeah I know, me too. Btw, remember how you've been a cunt to your girlfriend last year before getting back together ? She hasn't forgotten and your ass will soon be a lot more sorry than you were.2013: I certainly can't believe you. Do you have any more bad news ?2020: I'm locked in for ten days and waiting for a dangerous virus to leave my body, hopefully without permanent damage. Everybody sort of has it.2013: Guh. Do we still have music as a consolation ?2020: Sure do, alongside books now. I remember your taste being very wide, crossing countries, styles and generations. That era has ended, I now listen to 2010s music as if I was born in the late 90s. Commercial Nigerian pop and South African house dominate your playlists. Nobody would think you're a music fan.2013: Sounds a little disappointing but not uncool. I guess I can hope we are not still on RYM.2020: Listen, I'm doing what I can. I did find another cool community though.

2020: you know how you're getting fed up that there's so much "quite good" music it all begins to blur?2013: yeah2020: nothing's changed. Read more books, stay off facebook, don't take the Swindon job.

20: Tool finally release another album, but by the time it happens you can't be bothered to even hear it13: I see... What's Toby Driver up to though?20: he disappears down a synth hole, make peace with it early and you'll get less annoyed.13: anything else?20: you get into funeral doom and dempa about the same time13: I have no idea what any of that means20: you'll find out when you're older13: ok but apart from that things get better right?

Speaking of funeral doom in 2020, have you heard the Atramentus LP?

The only thing I would say is to spend as much time as possible with your best friend before he dies of cancer.

At least he leaves you a turntable and gets you back into vinyl.

you’re gonna misplace your Le Mystere Des Voixes Bulgares CD but don’t buy a new one, it’s under the driver’s seat in your car.
― brimstead, Friday, 16 October 2020 17:12 (three years ago) link
Ugh, sorry to hear that, PBKR. I’ll add that one to my 2013 self-chat also: spend as much time as you can with your old bass player, and stop pretending you know about the things he talks about, and ask a million questions. You’re gonna miss him like hell when he’s gone.
