just discovered a playlist from 1987 that has been living rent-free in my head for 6 hours straight

march is weird because it's like winter's giving up but spring hasn't fully committed yet

audiobook update: 73% through and the narrator's voice has become a comfort. is that weird

the crocuses are back and honestly they're more exciting than any concert could be right now

been working on this one chord progression for two weeks. two. weeks. but it's PERFECT now

why is everyone suddenly obsessed with st. patrick's day when there's literally 60-degree weather on the horizon

someone just cut me off on the highway and i channeled my road rage into composing in my head. basically free studio time

my commute podcast got me through gridlock that should've made me lose my mind. thank god for good recommendations

listening to this new artist my friend recommended and it's SCRATCHING an itch i didn't know i had 🎧

spring preview day hit different today. wore a t-shirt. felt like i could breathe again

analog gear appreciation post: my old synthesizer sounds better than anything digital could ever dream of being #synthwave

the coffee shop barista knows my order by heart at this point. that's either commitment or a cry for help

finally finished that audiobook on music history and now i have like five new artists to deep dive into. weekend is booked

traffic on the north side was absolutely INSANE this morning. who drives like that in rush hour

spent 3 hours on a 8-minute synth track today. some people call that inefficient. i call that passionate

those first crocuses are poking through and honestly they're the only thing keeping me sane right now 🌷

march weather: 'here's a beautiful 65-degree day!' also march weather: 'jk it's 28 degrees tomorrow enjoy your disappointment'

the podcast about forgotten artists just dropped a 2-hour episode on obscure 80s producers and i'm calling in sick to work mentally

just realized i've been humming the same synth line for 48 hours. my brain is stuck in a loop and i'm not even mad about it

february is almost over which means we're technically closer to 70-degree weather. science.
