A Dumpster Diver's Playlist.
Alright, fair warning. MOST of these jams are gonna be aiming for an audiospace that fits the politic and the aesthetic. But I'm starting off this list with a jam that doesn't really fit either politic or aesthetic. But still, it could as well be the Dumpster Divers National Anthem.

SHUFFLE ALL
It’s the end of November, I’m drinking cold brew, and starting this out on my phone. My laptop died a few days ago, so I’m resorting to this alternative method. Hopefully it’s just an issue with the power cable, and not the laptop itself (I’ll know in a few days when the replacement cord arrives). Otherwise, I’ve more than likely lost the drawing I was working on. Downside of digital art. But I have my notebooks, sketchbook, and phone, so I can still work on some things and try not to think about how fast this week off of work went by. Part of me is dreading going back on Monday. But I told myself I wasn’t going to think about that. It’s the end of November and I’m in a coffee shop listening to Fu Manchu and trying to stay inspired.

L(ov/if)e Story
[A combination of “Letters of Gratitude” and “The Sountrack of Your Year” challenges] . . My love, We are reaching the end of this first year, 2024, with no interruption of you in my mind and I want to thank you for your constant presence in my nomad life. I want to give you something that would remain in our minds no matter the passing-by of years to come. Since I know you love music as much as I do, this letter will be a humble musical depiction of what my world looked like/felt like throughout the year. I want you to see how, even when you were not physically there at times, you were always there with me.

2024: The Saga Continues Pt. 2. Content Warning.
2024 has been a year of roller coaster emotions, and that's putting it lightly. Music has been there through every moment... the beauty and the horror. There are always two sides to every story, including mine for 2024. The first side covered the darkest moments, the failures, the despair, the pain and the heartbreak. It becomes easy to allow the moments of hopelessness to reign and overshadow the moments of light... but what good does that bring? The moments of joy, relief, calm and love may be few and far between... but they exist and that is what makes the music of them so much sweeter as 2024 concludes.

2024: The Saga Continues. Content Warning.
As midnight hit and 2024 began, the struggle to leave the sorrow and pain of 2023 behind was an all too familiar challenge these days. January 1, 2024 was here and I was still here... but how much of me was there left at this point? Year after year of fighting challenge after challenge without any breaks; 2024 found me with barely anything left to give. My soundtrack of the year began with me feeling like I was "Breaking Inside".
