You might be 28 but the kids in college are still 20 and through college radio you can pretend that you’re still hip and with the new music. Also sometimes the DJs are clearly high out of their mind and talk about nothing for 7 minutes straight and it rocks. Radio K in Minneapolis is the best and you can listen to it online.

With all due respect to ruffianbandwidth
the University of Minnesota's Radio K is the classic model of the college alternative radio station The Current wishes it could be. (I still dig Mac Wilson's show tho). the Twin Cities is lucky enough to maintain more than one very cool radio station.
Radio K plays new bands who sometimes sound like old bands. An actual eclectic mix of genres. Random metal every now and again. College kids who, all these years later, keep spinning Jeff Buckley.
I'm always shazaming this station. It gives me hope that indie music still has a future.
My favorite thing is listening to the dj reading the top 5 songs of the week and feeling old because I have never heard of any of the bands but they all have hilarious names and song titles.
My other favorite thing is when a 20 year old dj plays Texas is the Reason followed by Braid in the middle of a "classic 00s emo" set.

Have you been drinking water? Tired of it tasting like water? Want to drink basically just cold water but a little different? Don’t want a ton of caffeine or too much flavor from iced coffee? Get some unsweetened iced tea. It’s like water but also tea. Little caffeine kick, no sugar, just some liquid.

Back then they truly knew what design meant and it meant going absolutely buck wild. You spin half of this Nikon camera all the way around in order to turn it on. Tech companies in 2024 could never. They don’t have the balls.

Taking a picture on your phone is basically an accident. You’re not going to line up the shot and feel pretty good about it and then take a few more to get different angles and then wait a few days to take a good look at them and maybe do some tweaks in some free editing software and feel happy. You’re going to forget you took them and then barely remember when you see their tiny little preview when you’re scrolling through the photos app for a screenshot you saved 5 months ago. Buy a little camera. It feels good to take a picture on purpose. Like painting but fast and you don’t have to clean brushes after.
