(Un)Focused Definition Ep. 61: Crawling Back

I’m starting to feel a little more solid. Maybe that’s the effect of two weeks on this medication, or the fact I’ve gotten at least seven hours of sleep the past two nights, or that I took a day off work.

(Un)Focused Definition Ep. 34: The One With FKA Twigs and Dax Riggs

Not sure what to call these entries that are more just the music I’ve been listening to over the course of the week, so expect some playing around a bit.

I created one of those Smart Playlists on Apple Music that would tracks all the music I listened to for the last week. And then I realized it wouldn’t track any of the vinyl, CDs, or cassettes I was listening to. And then I tried to stream the physical media while I listened to it, and realized a lot of what I buy (especially the Japanese jazz/fusion) isn’t typically on the streaming platforms – that’s why physical media is so important, y’all. And then David Lynch passed away, and I spent a ton of time living in Julee Cruise’s world, so that’s going to bookend this week’s edition of (Un)Focused Definition.
