are you ever just so tired? (aka writing proper posts is exhausting & i still need to finish up my 2023 music list but i'm not really sure i'll do a proper yearly media roundup at this point. here are a few silly numbers & quick lists instead!)

q&a / 814 (14.5k, m)

where do i even start... things have been/continue to be so hectic and busy so let me see whether i can get quick commentary out before i have to return to the annoying reality of irl demands *__*

have a few things to post at some point (setting up a running/composite media tracker so that i don't have to make it at the end of the year + i want to hopefully slap together a quick variation of this layout before i jump into theme-ing from "scratch" again... if that even happens!) but earlier this week i saw that tweet about picking 20 of your favorite songs and it reminded me of one of my ~comfort~ playlists so i wanted to talk about it. i think i liked that tweet because it specified that it's not about the 20 Best Songs In The World but just 20 that you just genuinely like and that make you feel good and you know in the end music is about what it does for you personally and you don't really need to justify your enjoyment of it past that.

anyway i was trying to think of so many of my Perfect Songs (white ceiling, beach life, earthmover... etc. etc.) and at some point i was like 1) wow my taste is so bad, but also 2) these are all just tracks from my long songs playlist!!!

i put this together a year-ish ago so i could collect a little sample of satisfyingly long tracks and it rly is one of my most beloved playlists because whenever i listen to an album 80% of the time my fav is the one that's like 3 minutes longer than average, and i think the temporal organization is also so pleasing to my brain lol. i used to be mildly embarrassed about the lack of ~classic rock~ on this because it's seriouslyyy just a ton of Recent Shit i'm endeared by, but now i'm like you know what let's all speak truth to power and enjoy the self-indulgent shit we enjoy. so!


does anyone else enjoy a good song above 10 minutes... very long week so apologies for the aimless post. would love any good recs though! :melting_face:

i never posted any code for this because it felt kind of dumb since iframes are truly the bane of my existence, but here's my very hacky method for embedding youtube videos without the "Watch on YouTube" link that gets generated underneath.
