I’ve been re-discovering Deep Purple. My Dad used to listen to them a lot when I was growing up, and we saw them live together once in the nineties, but apart from that casual exposure and an appreciation for their hits, I’ve not really stopped and listened before. It’s been fun.

they’re my dad’s favorite band ever and when I was a little kid he and his best friend (my ‘uncle’) would just sit around and listen to their music and I would get so bored I called it Jethro Dull. But now I’m like okay they actually go hard I especially love their Christmas album and I listen to it every year. It’s a way to feel connected with my dad and honor my uncle‘s memory 🥹❤️

for the longest time i’d been avoiding the music my parents like bc they’re my parents they can’t be Cool or Tasteful so i had avoided fiona apple, the smiths, the cure, descendents, the cranberries, many other 80s 90s indie favs & more. & im finally realizing that hey my parents are real people too & it brings a whole nother level of appreciation for them and for music and for Life

My dad gifted me this CD when I was around 6-7, loved it as a kid (I always listened to it while falling asleep) and then completely forgot about it in my teens.
I rediscovered Pat Metheny at a jazz festival at 20 and now I’m in love again!

I like taking photos. Big, serious landscape photos with big, serious landscape cameras, film or digital. Lately, though, I’ve been rediscovering the joy of just taking a photo of what’s in front of me, with the camera I have on me - my phone.
It takes a little effort to make sure you don’t look at anything else on there (and spoil the walk), but it’s also a refreshing way to get back to what carrying a small film camera was meant to be - the joy of making an image without thinking about it too much.

Another great channel I just remembered. Not as easily digestable as Dr Becky, I found, but way less “current research” focused and they still try to make it approachable without going full pop sci.
Plus they answer some very weird questions in some of their older videos that verge on philosophy (many worlds theory, what would happen if wormholes existed and you tried to travel through one), but staying firmly rooted in the science (math) and without straying into “my encounter with aliens reenacted!!11” territory.
