I knew I'd listened to a lot of background-y music this year, but Cult of the Lamb absolutely deserved to be #1, I thought it'd missed its chance to be high on the list last year

running through my wires, baby!

tagged by a few people but here’s the songs that I’m listening to right now!

- “Wanderlust” - Coletta. There’s such a lovely feeling of emotions that surround this song! I feel like every time I’m listening to it, I get to go through the whole alphabet of mental states and feelings before feeling like I got everything outta my system when it’s all done. If you’re feeling like being in a great mood and letting your mind wander this song takes the cake for that.

- “Deep Blue” - The Midnight. God. What a beautiful piece. I’m absolutely in love with all of The Midnight’s works right now. I’m a huge fan of synthwave and also absolutely sexy ass saxophone solos. That shit is my JAM. And this song has both of those and the lyrics are just so soothing and every part of this artist’s music is so incredibly nostalgic for me.

- “DEAFENING RED” - Clarence Clarity, SHADI. This is my angry song. This has been my fuck everything and everyone song!! It’s got very good villain vibes to it and god if I could scream the chorus at the top of my lungs I would!! The ending has a really intense part too that just feels like one of the best monologues I’ve ever heard in the form of a diss track(?). Definitely recommend if you wanna be happy and angry at the same time!!

- “Satellites” - Starcadian, ikonoklasm. Holy shit. Just what a fabulous song with lovely voices. This song makes me feel like love is real. It reminds me that the world is so much smaller than I think it is and that there’s so much out there and that there’s so much to look forward to in life. It’s very spacy and very fated lovers kinda vibes to it. 

- “Tell Me a Story” - Grouplove. When I feel lonely and really down, this song is such a soft cushion for me to lay on. Sometimes it’s the little things in life you just gotta enjoy to remind yourself that things are gonna be ok!! I’ll go ahead and tag @wyvern-eyes @sgt-spank @phlegmykins and whoever else hasn’t had the chance to do this yet, I tag you!!!

This one reminds me of driving to work at my old job:

9: A song that makes you happy

This one is full of very fun noises:

28: A song by an artist with a voice that you love

The weekend is usually one of my go-tos when I wanna hear some incredible vocals

So I'm in the shower

Yes, we begin this tale with tmi.

Anyway, one of my favorite songs by what has to be one of my top favorite artists comes on. Yes, I am a total loser for Starcadian. And lately, since my partner ex came out and I wasn't able to accept that as well as maybe I should have (I'm only human, and my ex was......a rather nasty person before the hormones), I've been really feeling their track Binary Stars.

In case you don't want to Google it, the chorus lyrics are literally:

"I ripped a hole through your heart

Sucked all the love through the scar

Now we are binary stars"

I interpret the rest of the song to be about their feelings over hurting their lover this badly. Kind of like my ex did to me, over and over, while letting me believe that the only one who was harming or damaging anyone else, was me.

Hell, I'm not pretending my refusal to just 💞a✨️ c🌟 c 🎉e🌟 p✨️ t💞 the New Them!!™️ might not have hurt someone who really thought they loved me, and again, may truly have, in their own fucked up way. But when it turned into them pretending to be a whole new person while just being the same rather rubbish old them while desperately insisting there was a new sticker on it.........I definitely lost faith.

Anyway, this song absolutely had me cracking up in the shower in a way that it had no right to, because....... that was our relationship: Keeping me locked to her side while she essentially fed on me, everything that I contributed throughout the relationship--shelter, companionship, money. And then leaving me in less great condition than she found me.

Of course, I get out of the shower and five seconds later, I'm laughing over this gem "somebody" left me on my vent post from yesterday:

That post didn't say anything about my art, but okay lmbo

tagged by @mymarifae [hi millie] for my top 5 songs BUT

i am literally physically incapable of figuring out what my top 5 songs are of all time forever because i cycle through them so so so much so i will just give you the five songs i'm currently listening to a lot and we will call it my current top 5 (:

which i think i actually kind of did before but that's ok that was like a year ago and it's not the same right now SO

💽 lent - autoheart

💽 we're screwed - unlike pluto

💽 ultralove - starcadian

💽 rasen - jon-YAIKTORY & ado

💽 scorpio - autoheart

hilariously two of these are by autoheart but that's just a coincidence cause i don't usually really actively seek out an artist's songs that often, and didn't with autoheart... but it is ok they're both good songs with different vibes

i will tag... @mothfishing even though millie already did that [hi moon], @everyone-needs-a-hoopoe, and @alagadda [if you want to do it lol no pressure]

“Freak Night” — A Starcadian Short Film

4, 8, 15 for music ask!

4. what song would you recommend to anyone?

The Wolf by SIAMES. It's usually my go-to when someone passes me the aux cord.

Also, the music video is one of the coolest things ever, I think about it all the time:

8. what was your first favorite song?

I answered this one already, so I'll post another song that I remember seeing in a lot of AMVs and liking a lot when I was younger:

15. is there an artist you wish more people knew?

I also answered this one already, so I'll name another artist I think is underappreciated. Starcadian makes a lot of good disco and synthwave, with an emphasis on the use of vocoders. (His music is currently filling the Daft Punk-shaped hole in my heart......)

20 Questions

Hey beautiful peoples! I was tagged by @vidibit​ to do 20 questions! (and like others who he tagged, I’ll say he does indeed have good taste in music 🎵)

(Rules are to tag 20 people or something also but I’m a rebel dammit)

When you made your blog: August 2013

Why you chose your URL: It was originally iterate-to-improve - When I changed it wanted to keep the code pun theme, and @a-little-mystical​ pointed out that it’d be a good name when I explained the joke about the 2 hardest problems in computer science being cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors.

Last show you binged: I’m continually binging Bob’s Burgers, Archer, and Parks and Rec on a loop, but the last full watch through of something was Russian Doll, I believe.

Following count: 431

Follower count: 837 (RIP deactivated mutuals, good riddance bots)

Average sleep hours: Trying to get back to the 6-7 hour range at least but it’s been a struggle

Other/side blogs: I have a NSFW side blog

Last thing you googled: “5 11 in cm”  😂

Lucky number: 7, 17, 23, 27

Currently wearing: gray henley shirt, flamingo trunks (literally the same thing i was wearing yesterday because that’s just how life is right now)

Instrument: Trumpet in middle school, messed around on a keyboard that I never learned to really play correctly later (but learned to love playing with synthesizers), and I have an accordion that i WILL eventually learn how to play, because klezmer and polka are cool

Dream trip: I recently said Iceland, which is still true, but right about now a warm sunny beach reachable only by boat sounds really nice (and I’m not historically a beach person). Or a cabin in a lush, green, mountainous woods. I dunno, just anyway new really!!

Fave food: Just gonna copy my answer from another recent one because it’s still applicable: Pizza (all sorts, but primarily Chicago “tavern-style”, square-cut thin crust with fennel sausage), Mexican food in general, and spicy noodles (usually Thai, something like Pad Kee Mao, but all sorts really)

Fave song: This always changes over time, but right now it’s Automatic (feat. Jenn Wasner) by Big Data

Top three fictional universes: I still think the bending universe of ATLA / LOK (physical and spirit realms) would be cool.  Right now I’d also say Hilda’s world (Trollberg and countryside) because it’s charming and folksy.  And then, I’d say the universe that all David Mitchell’s novels take place in, which I’m not entirely convinced is fictional

That’s all! I’m not tagging people this time either, but I’d encourage anyone who wants to do it and let me know!
