Every now and then Spotify will throw a song in a generated playlist for a band I've never heard of before. Sometimes I'll look them up and discover that they're quite new, or they are really really new. Like one song new. No wikipedia entry new. 2000 Instagram followers new. It's a bit thrilling, to think that if they blow up, I can say I was a fan from the beginning, for real.
Anyway, this song slaps. Can't wait for more!
I was listening to a Chillout Classics playlist when I was hit with a sense memory from 2006: just lying in my bed listening to Moby, in the middle of the day. I remembered that I would often do this on days where I was hungover, or just feeling a bit lazy. Lie around and listen to music.
It also struck me how it wouldn't even occur to me today to do such a thing, given I get a moment to myself. Or such a "nothing". And even if it did, it would feel like I would need a monastic level of self-restraint not to go ahead and add a screen to the mix.
Moments like this want me to run down to the beach and throw my phone in to the ocean.
