2024's albums I like [December 7th, 2024]

It's hard to keep up listening to music that's up-to-date or looking at the new releases in music websites such as Bandcamp, Bleep, Pitchfork, etc.

I'm picky when it comes to choosing the albums I like to listen to. Metal and rock don't excite me so much in 2013 as I keep growing up as a Millennial. Darkwave, ambient and some electronic music are my current obsession. Even though, I'm passable about the rock music, I'm not very enthusiastic of it.

I haven't mentioned the other albums here, but I don't think the ones from Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Coldplay or Glass Animals were the best albums they did. If you enjoy and like those albums, that's okay.

If I have something new to post a thread about the newest albums in December, I'll do it. You guys are welcome to share yours.

On World Diabetes Day, I want to mention the critical link between sugar intake and diabetes. Excessive sugar consumption, particularly from refined sugars found in processed foods, can lead to insulin resistance, a key factor in the development of Type 2 diabetes. When sugar is consumed in high amounts, the pancreas works overtime to produce insulin, the hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar. Over time, cells can become less responsive to insulin (insulin resistance), causing blood sugar levels to rise and increasing diabetes risk. For people already diagnosed with diabetes, managing sugar intake is crucial to maintain stable blood glucose levels and prevent complications. Of course, excess sugar intake causes many chronic diseases and cancer. Raising awareness about healthy eating habits ( plant-based diet), reducing added sugars, and promoting regular physical activity can empower individuals to make choices that support long-term metabolic health. World Diabetes Day is a reminder of the importance of these lifestyle choices in preventing and managing diabetes globally. #worlddiabetesday #insulinresistance #type2diabetes #sugarsubstitute #sugar #sweetener #healthysweetener #healthyfoods #plantbaseddiet #processedfoods #ultraprocessedfoods #nutritiousfoods #coreintegrativedigestivewellness #cidw #farazberjis #guthealth #coredigestive #digestivewellness #wellbeing #wellness #glycemicindex #calories #insulin #prediabetes #diabetes #blisspoint #glp1 #weightloss #overweight #obesity #cardiovascularhealth #endocrinehealth #antiinflammation #microbiome #antioxidant #oxidativestress #chronicdisease #fiber #bloodsugarlevels #microbiome #energylevel

IN A MINUTE:

A_NEW_MUSICAL_EXPRESSS…

“VOICEMAIL” is the lead single from @alltheprettyhorses666���s forthcoming self-titled LP (9/20 @candlepin_records) & it finds vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Austin Traver’s Connecticut-based project living that “industry plat” lyfe across 2 ½ mins of slow_coring BedroomPop.

“TSUGA” is a choice cut from @anthersmusic’s forthcoming LP titled ‘Pedigree Pig’ (9/20) & it finds the Seattle-based trio of vocalist/guitarist EJ Tolentino, drummer Taylor Clark & bassist Kevin Blanquies getting angrily angular across a frenzied 3:18 clip of post_hardcoring NoiseRawk.

“CLOUDHOUSE” is the lead single from @_blisspoint_’s forthcoming LP titled ‘Dog’ (11/22 @candlepin_records @beesidecassettes) & it finds the Brooklyn-based trio of River Fleischner, claire Joko-Fujimoto + Til Will reassuring us that they have that DAWG in them across a 3:40 clip of blown-out SlamGaze.

“CRAWLER” is the lead single from @memoryentry’s forthcoming debut EP (2025: @momrecords @iodinerecordings) & it finds the NYC-based trio of vocalist/guitarist Keith M., bassist Armando Morales & drummer Chris Rogy caustically wailing across 2 ½ mins of impassioned PostHardcore.

“ALWAYS” is the lead single/closing track from @nothing___natural’s forthcoming LP titled ‘Cold Star’ (10/18 @cherub.dream.records) & it finds the Oakland-based quartet bringing their aesthetically apt Bay Area Alt Rock across 4+ crunchily crisp, EMOtionally resonated & soft_grunged minutes.

“BURN” is a brand-new standalone single from @purestform.wav & it finds the Los Angeles-based trio of Story (vocals), Madi (guitar) & Riley (bass) waxing upon the “burning fantasy to set fire to a complacent retroactive society” across 3 ½ club-ready mins of metallically industrialized HardyCore.

31 and 44 for the ask thing!

Hiiiii 😚💗💖

31: Hyperpop.. I love when music sounds like its pouring liquid mercury on my brain. Its like.. I can't panic or feel depressed if I'm listening to a song that's been chemically engineered to hit all of my blisspoints. Sometimes Say Anything also does the trick.

44: My highschool guidance counselor Mr. Loney probably. Or maybe the Ontario PM

What not to do

According to Matthew Hussey

Mistake #1 Overly sexual

Mistake #2 Too cold

Blisspoint 

Warmth= Bravey, Confidence, and Optimism

Smile, have fun, friendly conversation, giving, laugh at the jokes, genuine, inviting body language. Make sure you are giving hugs. Is your initial conversation heavy in sarcasm? Too much can show disillusion or bitter. It’s like you have to be digging. Showing just enough will allow your dry wit to come through and complement the conversation.

Are you earnest? When you send someone a text after a date or after speaking to them on the phone. It’s warm. It converts you being your authentic self. It is being vulnerable. Vulnerable enough to laugh at someone’s jokes. It’s like we don’t want to give them power like we are too good to laugh at their joke and be vulnerable.

A hug conveys so much about us. How much we are comfortable in our own bodies, how we are comfortable around someone else. Take an extra few seconds and just stay in that hug.

Warmth requires confidence.

It is allowing yourself to subject yourself to the real opinions of the real me. You actually have to see the world as this beautiful place not this dark place that has made us bitter. It takes optimism.

We know that anyone we have come in contact with has gone through difficult things. We have all dealt with difficult things in this life. It is important to  have a positive outlook on life. That is a universal rule. Some people take their difficult things and become bitter.

Great news! A sweetener that actually helps with wellness. Lucuma powder, derived from the Peruvian lucuma fruit, is a nutrient-dense superfood known for its sweet, caramel-like flavor and numerous health benefits. Rich in antioxidants, particularly beta-carotene, lucuma supports immune function and skin health by combating oxidative stress helping reduce inflammation and risk of chronic disease. It also contains a good amount of fiber, which promotes digestive health ( boosts microbiome health)and helps regulate blood sugar levels (low glycemic index), making it an excellent natural sweetener for those with blood sugar concerns. Additionally, lucuma provides essential minerals like potassium, iron, and calcium and vitamins ( vitamin C and niacin), which support heart health, energy production, and bone strength. Its low glycemic index and natural sweetness make lucuma powder a popular, healthy sugar alternative that can be added to smoothies, desserts, and baked goods. #lucumapowder #sugarsubstitute #sugar #sweetener #healthysweetener #healthyfoods #plantbaseddiet #processedfoods #ultraprocessedfoods #nutritiousfoods #coreintegrativedigestivewellness #cidw #farazberjis #guthealth #coredigestive #digestivewellness #wellbeing #wellness #glycemicindex #calories #insulin #prediabetes #diabetes #blisspoint #glp1 #weightloss #overweight #obesity #cardiovascularhealth #endocrinehealth #antiinflammation #microbiome #antioxidant #oxidativestress #chronicdisease #fiber #bloodsugarlevels #minerals #vitamin #microbiome #energylevel #bonehealth #skinhealth

Another sports biopic. However I do see the appeal of doing this movie given the ups and downs this man went through.
