Every question, every problem doesn’t have a single correct answer. One must permit diversity.

Say hello to a Svelte-generated music blog! After experimenting with the JavaScript framework, I refactored the blog from the Hugo-generated one before. With this transition, there are many subtle improvements including better dark-mode processing, faster loading, lazy loading of imaging based on page-position, better animations, built-in image processing, and many others. I have also laid the foundations for a persistent music player that users can use to control music as they browse the blog. Autoplay fuctionality may also be added in the future.
This website constitutes the 3rd version of the blog. Along with the change, I have adjusted the color scheme of the dark-mode version to more closely match the look and feel of the original Tumblr blog. In homage to that version, today’s posts will be some of the tracks I posted in the old version that I still continue to enjoy. Hope you enjoy them too!
First up is Pretty Lights, a Colorado-based outfit and their album “Glowing In The Darkest Night”, which I had previously praised, I still agree with those comments; it’s a great album.
It’s the summer and the heat is very real. There’s a specific mood portrayed in the video/music, I appreciate it.
If there is a constant in this blog, it’s the length of time between posts. These tracks were last on the blog ten years ago.
They take to the styles of ‘Friendly Fires’ and ‘Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin’ with their next album “Leave No Trace” which is being released tommorow under IAMSOUND.
Old music back then; new music right now. Montreal-based indie rock outfit Karkwa made several stellar albums from 2003 - 2010. Glad to have featured them on the blog close to when they were active.
Great song. Footage from the 1956 classic short film The Red Balloon, directed by Albert Lamorisse.
From Indonesia, Midnight Savari has recently been putting out EPs on his Bandcamp, definitely worth a listen.
