I refreshed the Spiritual pop and Secular drones playlists on the Blue Tapes Soundcloud that act as a sort of primer to the different hemispheres of the label.
Spiritual pop encapsulates the lighter, more playful side of our work, with contributions from Katie Gately, Tashi Dorji, Henry Plotnick, The Library of Babel, Stuart Chalmers and Taming Power, Hey String, Richard Youngs, Bulbils, Ashtray Navigations and Dane Law.
Secular drones summarises the darker, noisier end of things: Threes and Will, Father Murphy, Jute Gyte, Trupa Trupa, Unfollow, Mats Gustafsson, Ratkiller, Cadu Tenorio and Gultskra Artikler.

0 notes
I was gardening in the rain next to a massive lake this afternoon and got sad-sack frustrated a couple of times because i was wearing work gloves and couldn't press my rubber fingers on the skip button. Past the songs i don't want/need to hear anymore. Because there are only so many hours in the day for music that kicks me in the teeth just the way i like.
So i started thinking about creating a playlist. Favourite songs. Forever songs. The best songs. Ride or die songs.
But when a mental list turns into 300 songs before i even look at screens or physical media. And what do i do with all the the sounds i love that are like 20 minutes long and just hang out in the air like some of the best music does? This recent Richard Youngs album is a wonderful thing. And a good example. I could never put it on a playlist to share with my ALTERNATIVE ROCK-loving car friends. Or maybe i could try it.
Like many from the dozens of albums by Richard Youngs, this one almost works best if you walk into it part way through, without any context. There is so much confidence in Youngs' way of casually hanging around a concept until it is just almost about to overstay its welcome and turn into a stale lump. But he never overstays. **subscribers to the cdr sub. series might say different*
I keep thinking about this new Lower Plenty record. Songs one and two hit hard up front. Instant pop and then a journey into a new emotional thing. i've had the album on regularly and still don't have a proper grasp of it.
Every Lower Plenty record has a handful of all-timers.

Yandere Dick Grayson x reader (romantic)
Restraints -. “Be a good girl and sit still. You don’t want me to be unhappy right?”
Dick Grayson scared you. His behavior scared you, his eyes, his demeanor scared you. Everything about him scared you.
It was funny really. He used to be, one of the few people, that you could feel safe with. Now you can’t say the same thing. The start of your relationship was fantastic, some would say it was even perfect.
However, that paradise period was not meant to last. Eventually the cracks in your relationship came to the surface. Dick started to become possessive and controlling. That meant no more free control for you.
No more hanging out with your friends or going to parties and having fun. Suddenly you weren't allowed to dress like you wanted to. There was always a certain way to behave and act. Around him, your family and his. It became too much.
And then one day you decided enough was enough. You certainly couldn't take it anymore and you truly wanted to get away from Gotham City and its never-ending crimes.
You tried as sweetly, as you could be to break up with him. It didn't go too well. It was a train wreck. You could still remember Dick screaming at you. Begging you not to leave him behind.
Crying over your 'so called betrayal.'
You tried to calm him down. You really did. But somehow, he managed to surprise you with a cloak soaked in chloroform. You woke up in a dark room. Nothing like your cozy and warm bedroom. No, this room was cold and filled with shrines of you.
Things you didn't even realize was gone was in here. The walls were filled with pictures of you. Even some of your clothes was laying around. Soaking wet. You didn't even want to imagine what he'd done to your clothes.
It wasn't soon after that he finally decided to visit you. He was happy to see you up and delusional for thinking that you wanted to be here. Again, you tried to calm him down and plead for him to let you go.
He wouldn't listen. Instead, he chose to inject you with a sleeping serum while rocking you back and forth. Whispering how about how much he loved you and that you were going to spend eternity forever.
And that leads to how you ended up in his kitchen. Currently chained up to a chair and eating dinner with him..
Or rather Dick eating and him trying to force-feed you. His actions leave you shaking. Filled with fear.
"Be a good girl and sit still. You don’t want me to be unhappy right?”
He smiled at you sweetly. Like a delusional predator glancing down at their helpful prey. And like the helpful prey that you were. you hesitantly shook your head. "Of course, not Dick."
"Ahh, how adorable you are! I can't wait for all the things, that I’m going to do to you now.
You should've never agreed to that date.
