Rest in peace, the always beautiful, Gal Costa.

I meant to post this on Remembrance Sunday, but forgot. It's one of the most beautiful and bittersweet songs I've ever heard. Written by Eric Bogle, I think.

Iggy Pop live at the age of seventy-five:

I wanna be like Iggy Pop.

More of why I listen to dnb the way I do - it has a toolkit for reaching into these inhuman / semi-divine places that a lot of other styles of music don't have the tools to explore.

This one is buy a guy named Survival, written back in 2008 the title - The Beginning - makes it a bit obvious that he's exploring deep time, Cambrian explosion, etc.. I still remember Loxy's Darkroller 5.31.2008 mix being filled with this sort of thing and there were a lot of other pieces in the mix that blew my mind as well but this one definitely held it's own.

It's that ability to almost build a sort of sacred shrine, for the listener, that encapsulates a certain set of ideas or gives them a really interesting prepackaged lens to look at their own concepts through when it's done right. The general term for that might be 'evocative' maybe but whatever it is that's a big part of why I gravitate toward music to begin with.

* Relevance realization, in John Vervaeke terms, might also be a great way to describe getting chills and having the tears roll not because you're being served a sad story but because you're being served such a profound panorama that it almost seems to reach into a separate dimension - like what you almost might expect from an occult initiation of some kind.
