‘ I’m fine.’

2022 ear blessings ( zZz edition)

1. snowflakes are dancing - isao tomita [synthastic covers of some of debussy's bests. love this album so much i own it on vinyl & cd. i bought the vinyl before i even had a record player because it contains my all time fave version of clair de lune 🌙✨ (shoutout to a fine frenzy for posting it on her twitter and changing my life) wound up buying the cd in 2020 so i could fall asleep to it without having to worry about flipping sides and needles and shit... up until that point tho, it was my go to laying-on-the-floor-next-to-your-record-player-like-a-main-character-in-despair record]

2. untourable album - men i trust [currently in my cd player. dreamy as always. kept repeating it on spotify so going physical was easy peasy. bought it on a bandcamp friday too since these songs may never be heard live, WHICH IS A SHAME HONESTLY, TRULY. fave track is tree among shrubs. stuck in my head for months now 🌳 🍃]

3. v i r t u a l r e s o r t - cyberealityライフ [digi-vacation vibes🏝🐬✈️📹✨also good for early mornings. i use track 20, 滞在を楽しむ, as my wake up song bc apple ringtones suck]

4. after the dream - nights into dreams ost [sometimes if i reeeeally can't sleep, i'll watch long plays of games i either find tricky or have no intention of playing myself 🌚 while watching a play through of nights into dreams i freaked out bc I realized this is the song cybereality sampled for 滞在を楽しむ. had been listening to their remix for months at this point & i figured it was a sample but i never looked it up bc it's so pretty i don't care lol. was an unexpected coincidence, i love them both 💕]

5. tron: legacy ost - daft punk [🎶🌐t h e g r i d.....a digital frontier......🌐🎶 i have worn this cd oouuuttt. i will never tire of this soundtrack. neverrrrrrrr]

6. calm and relaxing videogame music: water edition - youtube mix by user mitari mango [say what you want about water levels they have the best music don't @ me. a nice mix of new & old/ nintendo & non-nintendo tracks. loops twice for a total 4hrs of p e a c ee e e e 💦🌊💙]

7. late night delight - luxury elite & saint pepsi [a vaporwave classic. this collab album has calmed me during some rough shit. ENJOY YOURSELF is an instant mood booster. i own the cassette which has some exclusive bonus tracks, but i still prefer listening to it on youtube just like the way i found it. oh lord we getting nostalgic for shit based on nostalgia... it's just nice, ya know?🌜🕺🌛]

8. almost empty parking lot // vaporwave mix - youtube mix by user deep sea current [all of dsc's mixes are sososooo good. lately i've been starting with this one then letting the youtube algorythm take it from there until it's true lights out time (like with earplugs and blackout mask lights out time) i love their mixes bc they actually credit all the artists used. they also have different mixes doe different moods so it's not like blanket generic "vaporwave"...idk just subscribe to them already dammit]

9. living room spaceship - ambient noise video by user universe [i find their videos to be the darkest and longest and best of all MINIMAL AD BREAKS. again, when it's lights OUT time, i switch to one of these, set my tv sleep timer for anywhere between 60-90min, plug my ears, cover my eyes and drift awayyyy]

10. odd tinkering restoration videos [no talking, no faces, just super satisfying sights and sounds of junk being brought back to life. usually watch one of these before switching to spaceship mode if i need some extra cool down time]
