Haven't posted here in a while...

...so I am right now!

Buttttttttt I have nothing important to talk about. So! Here's a logo for a nonexistent (as far as I know) dragonfruit-themed media company I made as a joke. Enjoy!

I'll admit: this took longer than it should have.

Music 'cause I haven't in a while and I should because I have things to post

So yes, sorry it's been a while, but I never said this was a daily sideblog! Ha, a valid excuse!

Anyway, here are some songs. The first one is a neat combination of electronic, pulsing synths, an emotional vocal, piano, and get this... chimes. Feed Me posted it on his Facebook page, and I love it, so here it is: Cry No More by Vaults.


The next one's a nice, light, girly synth pop track that's super super catchy. It's Embrace by Goldroom!



Here's a song from quite a while ago, but back in the day I was obsessed with this song -- Istill kind of am, but not to the same caliber. So yes, here's the RAC remix of Blue Jeans by Lana Del Ray. It's pretty light and indie dance-ish.



The next track is a pretty dang intense complextro tune by Basehead, called Burn It Down. Fun stuff!



Here's a  remix of the Bill Nye theme song by DJ Abunai. It's pretty good complextro, and I can't not post it... because Bill Nye.



Last track of the post goes to my current jam, Need Your Love by Lenno and Birdee. It's pretty minimal for an indie dance track, but I love it. It's wonderful and everything I need in my life right now :)

I am the dish fairy

(Koo koo ka choo!)

Yep, it's another self-deprecating rant by Jacob! That's what I post on here, right? Rants and music? If so, I'm glad to deliver!

But yeah, have you ever heard one of your parents/guardians say that the toilet paper doesn't replace itself; that there isn't some toilet paper fairy that poofs in a new roll when you exhaust the prior?

Well... guess what.

If you live with me (as I moved out a couple months ago into a house which will soon hold six college students including yours truly), there is in existence a dirty-dish equivalent of the aforementioned household sprite... and it's me.

This is the most relevant image I could find, and I don't feel like making OC today. Imagine that the bear is a fairy. Use your noodles.

I wouldn't call myself a clean freak; not in the slightest. And I definitely don't do it to be nice... I just hate it when dishes end up piled in the sink. Because I use that sink. For cleaning my dishes. And it's hard to clean dishes when you're unsure if the water has a usable path from the faucet to the drain. So I clean the dishes in the sink (which often requires emptying the dishwasher first).

Now some may say, "that's still nice of you to clean those dishes that aren't yours, Jacob!" Well, it gets less nice.

Now I wouldn't say I'm nonconfrontational (not in the slightest), but I do tend to be passive-aggressive every now and again. And if I clean dishes out of the sink, and you don't promptly notice and thank me, you may be getting the cold shoulder for the evening -- or if you're lucky, a nice sarcastic remark.

Actually, while I'm writing this, I'm starting to make a connection to my past... when I was a kid, one of the things my mother and I would get in fights about was the tendency of my bathroom to get a bit... out of hand. And sometimes, my mother wouldn't say anything to me at all about cleaning said bathroom, and would just clean it herself. Then she would get angry at me for not cleaning it myself (even though she didn't ask me to... that day, at least). And that was when the fight would begin.

So in conclusion, when we move out of our parents' houses, we get to see who we really are, since we are no longer under the watchful eye of our maternal and paternal authorities. I recently went through this process, and realized that I am my mother.

omg.

Recovering ground.

And by that I mean re-covering. Like, covering again. Not as in hit-points. Anyway!

Here's another remix of Say Lou Lou's track, Julian. I feel bad for posting another one, but I think it's different enough. This is more of an indie progressive house track, and I love it, so... haters gonna hate. Also, free download!

Weirdly meaningful.

So deadmau5 posted this song/concept on Soundcloud, and I'm kind of obsessed with it. The beat itself is pretty good, but in the middle it goes into this really nice, low-key piano breakdown. The strange part, though (and arguably the best part), are the vocals. They are so weird. Seriously. But not in an actually weird way. More in an... unexpected way. The vocals are really just whispers, but somehow they seem more meaningful than most song lyrics that are meant to be meaningful. When I listen to a song, I think of something good being made out of a possibly bad situation... somebody being happy even though everything says they shouldn't be.

Sorry, this is unusually deep, especially for an EDM song called Errors In My Bread by deadmau5, but this is (half) my blog, so deal with it <3

September is upon us.

Yes it is, you clever title, you!

So to start off September, I thought I'd post a slowly building prog house song, just for funsies. So here's Aphrodite by Kryder! Hope you like it, and welcome to Autumn!
