I'm gonna talk vaguely because I'm not sure how many details I want to put about my work someplace that's findable via google.

We have a remote policy in the off season, and normally that would have started a week ago, but because some things didn't get done in time, the on season's been extended. It looks like things should wrap up today though, which hopefully means that tomorrow will be remote.

I hope Marina comes a bit early. As a treat.

Ah that makes sense! Then yeah I hope you get some remote time soon! *is currently at home*

For real like I am just v excited to listen to those tracks!! The singles are SO good and she's QUEEN aaaaaa

@BeelieveinBees @hatkirby so the issue is many of the artists I listen to do not have websites in English or even websites at all :') I'm sure with the ones who do have websites I can still sign up for a mail list of notification though I just need to work a bit harder. Also some of the albums I listen to I don't know if you can buy an official download or CD anymore? So I will have to download another way, which I think I know how to do it's just time consuming.

I haven't tried using Bandcamp regularly because it seemed to be mostly music in English which is only like 1/2 of the music I listen to, but maybe I'm wrong?

I get music from a lot of different sources so it was nice that Spotify was a platform where it was all in one place (even with issues), but yeah it's becoming kind of not very user friendly to me :/

I know there is non-English music on bandcamp, it's hard for me to say how much overall because I prefer music with English lyrics but I've certainly run into plenty of other language music without seeking it out. Bandcamp also tends to be more indie music. So if you're looking for major label K-pop or what have you, I doubt you'd find it. There are some names I know to be big there, but the trend is for smaller bands to host their music there. It's also a somewhat recent thing, so older music often isn't there either.

Could you use spotify to alert you of new music but listen to it elsewhere? I have no idea how spotify works.

I hope you can find something that works for you!

Ah yeah that's a good idea! I'll look into doing that with Spotify and explore Bandcamp a little more TY!

I think mostly I just need a little push to sit down and weekend and download/sort a bunch of music to my external hard drive lol.

good morning i got hit by a bomb in my sleep

Actually I had a friend over last night and I think my body is just a bit overtired

One day they should invent a sleep that's refreshing and restful.

I had insomnia three nights ago, and stayed up later then was wise two nights ago, and slept like 11 hours last night, and damn I don't feel great this morning
