When I’m mindlessly skimming through IG I will screenshot any story that has music in it, and then two or three times a week I will make a giant playlist of all the music people posted and listen through. Most of it is stuff I have heard before or stuff that is no good, but I get a lot of interesting music from this! Mostly I do it because the people I follow are randos I never met or met once, and this helps me feel closer to these strangers I’ve basically been collecting. An average week is a little over 10 hours of music.

i am 100% screenshotting the song or album you post on your story.
it’s a great way to find new music. when i like the song enough to save it, it always reminds me of the person who shared it. a special connection that they’ll never know about i luv it

every time i see someone post a song that is completely unknown to me i will save it & i also love scrolling down to the playlists-by-them section in the spotify artist page & looking at their profiles & songs of choice

When I have some true downtime sometimes I scroll the global feed listening to everyone's song recs. If the link isn't to my preferred music service, I enjoy the moment of inconvenience of typing it manually in and queuing it. If I'm not in the mood for a whole album, I pick a song from it with the most appealing title. The most social of parasocial interactions, in that moment I am with you in a room that doesn't exist, sitting on separate surfaces, closing my eyes and thinking about what you wanted me to hear.

When I was a teenager there was this parking lot between a diner and a Dunkin Donuts that we called “The Parking Lot of Party” because it is where we partied. I love making little mythologies behind things that to everyone outside of our circle is totally inconspicuous. Anyway, last weekend I learned that you can name things in Google Maps, so now this bench by The LA River that I think is funny has my little joke name for it labeled for everyone to see.

Being the main character is hack shit, and really? You ain’t. All the people I see acting like the main character are all like, girls with blonde hair who didn’t hear Sonic Youth until their 20s or guys that that have daydreams about what they’d say as a guest on a podcast. I’m a supporting character. I’m Kramer, not Jerry, and I love it. Who needs a stressful storyline? If I get a storyline it is FUN, and EASY, and most importantly, UNNECESSARY. Most of the time I show up for a few minutes, get my bits in, and peace out. Simply living life.

You’d think eventually I’d get used to seeing them, but every single time it’s as if I’ve never seen one before! Bananas.
