What I'm listening to today: "Jellyfish", Kazumi Totaka (Nintendo)

There is a weird pattern in video games:

- The "water level", in any game, is usually everyone's least favorite, but

- The "water level" often has the coolest, most memorable music of the game.

Upthread I linked some "ocean vibes" music from Mario Artist for N64DD. That game has *three* ocean-themed songs, all bangers; here's my other fav. Charmingly cheesy hold-music jazz transitioning into trip-hop

What I'm listening to today: "What Does Your Soul Look Like?, Pt. 3", DJ Shadow

DJ Shadow followed up his major-label "debut" with an (incomplete) overview of his pre-"debut" indie releases. The information economy of the late 90s was less developed than that of today & getting into DJ Shadow in 1998 was a *little* confusing. Whatever! Here's the most rocking track from "preemptive strike". This *fucking* piano

PS: Shadow fans listen to the Mighty Atom Endtroducing mix
