Week Notes No. 42: Mixed Diversions

By Justin G. on 25FEB12WED

As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve now separated the info from the entertaining. This is the entertaining stuff.

There were so many good ambients this week.

1. Books
   • I read some of each of Circe and Theft by Finding. They are both engaging. I should finish Circe soon, and I’m about half way through Theft.
2. YouTube
   • NHK world is one of the “regular tv” gems on YT. This folklore focused episode about the Yokai Namikozo was quite interesting and an excellent way to see some off the beaten track corners of a region. I suppose that is the point too.
3. Television
   • The X-Files S1E2. “Budahas!”
   • The X-files S1E3. Tooms. It’s one of the greats.
   • More Brooklyn 99.
   • The psychology of Severance. A finds the show too disturbing to watch. I’m enjoying the unending mystery and what it reflects about us.
4. Music
   • Anjunakitchen: PROFF & Ezequiel Arias. Good stuff, both.
   • Ambients (all excellent):
     • The Rosen Corporation The Unamed Arcanum, The Lovers, The Moon, The Hanged Man, The World.
     • Martin Stürtzer Dub Techno Live Set.
     • State Azure Ascending Jupiter Terminus.
     • Sands of Arrakis.
     • Anjunachill: Lost in Nature, A slow embrace, Ibiza chill.
     • Jun Doe, I thought it was interesting. Will investigate.
     • LUSS Poisonoise.
   • The Jody Wisternoff ablum arrived. It prompted me to move around the speakers. The ones formerly in my office are the better pair. Now the stereo kicks!
