Good morning nandermo enjoyers <3

[sketchdeath]

trying something out! a couple of my favorite things that ive discovered/want to recommend, month by month and me ranting and raving about it :]

music 

★ i may have recommended them on this blog before but i spent the last half of 2021 falling in love with the shanghai restoration project. 

my absolute favorite song by them is tactile sonic glide, which is the second video linked! yes it is 14 minutes long

★ in a similar vein to TSRP’s music, i just recently (like this week) started listening to eyeliner’s album buy now. 

★ getting very Very into dungeon synth(???) recently. or at least, a genre i think is called that since a lot of these songs are tagged with that. dark medieval-y sounding chiptune music. sometimes straight up lo-fi metal.  here is moorstepper, book of skelos, warduke, knife wrath, and mothra. 

★ if youve watched wwdits, you might be familiar with the one end credits song: no vampires (remain in romania) by king luan. im happy to share that the rest of his songs keep that energy. 

and apparently you can only have so many videos in a tumblr post :/ so here's an embedded link to king luan’s plastic bat 

★ i think most people hopefully know worthikids as an animator (big top burger, captain yajima, that one final pam video...) but i am so so fucking into his music. particularly the song dullahan. like.... a Lot. like very much a lot. id write a perfumed letter to worthikids about how much i like this song if that weren't so creepy. 

★ apparently crystal castles was fairly popular in the early 10s indie scene (which is a reductive sentence i know) but i just discovered them and fell in love. my favorite song is cry babies. which is only available on youtube as far as im aware :(

★ i think shes fairly popular but i have to include her bc i listened to rina sawayama’s album SAWAYAMA on repeat 10x while working in the lab this year

★ kishi bashi! i think philosophize with it! chemicalize with it! will forever define this past summer living at my dads house. 

you tube

★ cj the x makes good videos. mostly pop culture video essays 

★  beryl shereshewsky is so fucking adorable :] she makes and tries different foods from around the world and passes around viewer recipes 

★  2 hours of squid to relax/study/work to 🦑

★ rantasmo. most of his channel is his “needs more gay” series, which is him talking about genres, movies, books, and concepts that have explicit gay history, subtext, or culture surrounding them. 

etc

★ queer serial! so far, ive only listened to the first 2 seasons, which mostly talk about the mattachine society. its an episodic telling of LGBT american history, from some of the first documented gay rights groups, up to stone wall. it is so informative and has given me such a broader idea of the world at large. i would highly recommend it. 

i think thats enough post for now :] let me know if you have any suggestions for Stuff if you think i might like it based off anything on this post. ended up being mostly music, which is fine. i think next month ill include a lot more artists and animators >:}
