RATE MUSIC, ME!

these are the sensations that vibrated through me and the thoughts that sloshed around in my mind as i listen to sounds created by other people, created in places and times alien to me, and experience in the car, through insufficient laptop speakers, home stereo systems (ranging from lo- to hi-fi), and on a breeze

Dynamic Anatomy Presentation #2

Release Date: Unknown

Artist(s): DJ Deja Vu

Rating: *****

I can't find anything more out about this mixtake but it has perfect transitions. I spent the entire time beatboxing along to the rhythm and counting up and down from ten. This ostensibly acted as a CTRL+ALT+DEL on my nervous system. I want to listen to this while swimming in a salt water pool after I ate some of that underwater breathing-inducing gillyweed from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Rating: *****

I listen to these guys every once in a while. Today, this album put me in a meditative state as I was trying to make a list of 50 things that occupied my mind today using my beloved slate gray Zebra Sarasa Clip 05 gel pen on an 8"x8" college lined paper from a black OfficeMax 1 subject notebook manufactured in 2006.

Slo-Mo Neon Luminate Hoverings

Release Date: June 12, 2026

Artist(s): Mary Halvorson & Ambrose Akinmusire

Produced by the artists, engineered by Chris Allen, mixed and mastered by Dave Darlington at Bass Hit Studios (NYC), and recorded at Sear Sound in NYC.

Rating: *****

With only two instruments, Akinmusire's trumpet and Halvorson's guitar (and technically vocals on the jarring third? track), the tone of this album made the skin on my back prickle with a sensation akin to anxiety while the emotional feel ranged from numbing blues to contemplative to rocking pleasure (*note: no NSFW content was harmed in the making.
