Greetings from my hovel, fellow sinners!
Today on one of my feeds (I’ve forgotten which and don’t really want to go look) I was introduced to Hiroshi Yoshimura and specifically the album GREEN. Apparently it’s getting a reissue on vinyl, that’s neat. I like vinyl for the artifact, but can’t be assed to actually listen to any music that way. Fortunately Light in the Attic Records has also put it up on YouTube and (Spotify if y’nasty)
It’s beautiful and calming, which is what I need today. It’s all beautiful music all the time played over footage of Giant Bomb’s lockdown streams here where a certain amount of existential dread has finally begun to encroach. Full distraction protocols are being introduced. Screens set to only show me beautiful things and play beautiful music and news feeds are switched off. They get turned on for a very limited time first thing when I get into the office and then again sometime in the evening after the daily health officials briefing but are silenced again until a time when I have more mental bandwidth for them. Not a lot I can do down here in the hermitage anyway. I continue to think of you all and hope you are well.
