What I'm listening to today: "the TV show", Kosuke Sugimoto and Takayuki Manabe

No no wait, THIS is my favorite video on YouTube. A beautifully plotted 2009 independent animation with an incredibly catchy, pseudo-chiptune original score that stands out by itself as a classic of circa-2010 glitchy "electro"¹.

This is the kind of thing you'll get the premise immediately but need to watch at least three times to fully Get it

What I'm listening to today: "Phuturum", Caitliff

The spaceship has these two winglike structures on the side, but it's a spaceship, you don't need wings in space. They're actually for launching smaller ships, the "wings" are hollow hangar spaces on the inside and terminate on two long launch rails. But if nothing's launching today you can grab a suit, sit at the end of the launch tunnel, stare down this tunnel open to space, see the great blue earth floating outside.
