When I'm furthest from myself
Feeling closer to the stars
I've been invaded by the dark
Trying to recognize myself when I feel I've been replaced

Rhyming Connections
Mr Scruff
By Simon James
Walker Books, 2019
Some things go together, some things don’t. Fish go with chips, but not with ice cream. Whisky goes with soda, but not with cornflakes. Shoes go with socks but not hats. You can try putting a member of the alt-right in a room with a lefty, but they’re not likely to talk, never mind get on. They’d rather be in a room with people like themselves…

Bonobo must have felt weird during the noughts, he was an outsider. I mean, his albums were close to what the times were, yet they also differed immensely. Moreover, he even tried to perform his pieces on his tours. I can hear you're already rolling your eyes over the statement, yet Live Sessions should prove you wrong about the electronic musicians of his ilk. You see, he actually gathered a band to perform his songs, so he did something few of his peers even attempted, i.e. he checked how his songs function outside the confines of electronica. He continues to do that, showing us a musician who's willing to challenge the stereotypes of his music. That might be one of his biggest successes, i.e. he showed this type of compositions can be more than just a certain set.

Me when I can’t find the very specific 100k slow -burn enemies to lovers, angst with a happy ending, award winning fic that my brain created during my before bed story time, realising I have to write it myself to be able to read it

the key to enjoying the magnus archives is understanding that every single person is a bitch. name a character and i can tell you right now they have the most petty bitchy tendencies. you have to understand that all of these characters are absolutely insufferable bitches and there's nothing any of us can do except say slay king live your truth. they served cunt and if innocents died along the way that's none of my business thank you

Peter Gabriel and a Sting belong to where?! I agree, mentioning Ryuichi Sakamoto with them might not be fair for some, since he moved in a different zone than Gabriel and Sting, though there are several overlaps among them, they could've collaborated together. However, Sakamoto was more willing to go into his own way and async shows that succinctly. The disc sort of became his Next Day, if you catch my drift, though I would suggest his later period was more daring than Bowie's unintended trilogy, which also consists of Heathen and Reality. While Sakamoto had a template like Bowie at that point, he continued to locate the ways within the soundscapes to modify them into many surprising shapes. I mean, check the finale of async and be astounded.
