Supertaste - Spins (Lazywax Remix | Funk)
Tumblr media
🕑 1 min / Text: Adrian Release Date: Oct. 20, 2022 | Out via Casablanca Sunset Records I got hooked on Supertaste and Lazywax' music the moment I heard the remix version of their song 'Spins', a truly outstanding funky indie pop and retro soul record to add to your must-listen playlist. It takes me back to the 80s with a strong feeling of nostalgia, and I'm absolutely loving the rhythm, the electric piano, and the rich bass line in the mix. It's got that beat in it and that energy that makes it danceable. The sound reminds me of some classic Grand Theft Auto soundtracks, and I'm imagining cruising through Vice City in a caddy while listening to this (90s kid - haha!). Give it a shot! Can you feel the magic? Melody: ★★★★☆ | Production: ★★★★★ | Arrangement: ★★★☆☆ | Energy: ★★★★★ |  Stream: https://open.spotify.com/track/1ursruYcl4mapRUkBMMXxz Follow: https://www.instagram.com/supertastemusic ✔️ Available on our Indie Playlist on Spotify.

This might be a bit weird of me to send to you but idc, it's a topic that is fascinating me today and you're someone who has thoughts on lots of other things that are fascinating to me!
Anyway, do you know anything about super recognizers? Basically the opposite of face blindness. I have it, and for a while I just thought everyone around me must be super unobservant but apparently it's actually kind of freakish of me that I can remember the eye color of practically everyone I've ever seen in my life lol
idk what exactly I'm asking of you, I'm mostly just curious if face blindness/the opposite of that is anything you've thought about much before! I sometimes wonder if it's linked to autism but from what I've seen so far it doesn't seem to be??
i havent heard about this until you mentioned it but it fits into the larger pattern of humans having varying intensities of function in their perceptual systems. psychosis spectrum dysfunction and paranoia is theorized to be a sort of hyperactivity in the pattern-recognition part of the brain, where you can't STOP seeing coincidences, patterns, and similarities, which then leads to paranoia about people sending you 'messages' which then leads to surveillance paranoia. it's happened to me and it's very weird
i experience something like youre describing and it's one reason i have the typical autistic gaze-avoidance: faces are too much information and it's like looking into the sun. i dont have the study on hand but if i remember correctly i read a brain imaging study of autistic vs. allistic people who were shown faces, and the autistic subjects displayed much more brain activity in regions related to processing information than the allistics, and were perceivably expending much more energy and stress in the perception. this would account for the autistic symptom of apparent "face blindness" being so common in people who otherwise cannot be beaten by any average challenger in a game of Guess Who, who have pattern recognition skills so powerful they can explain at length the difference between various diesel locomotives no one else can tell apart (or whatevr): its because looking at a human face is physically painful, so the autistic toddler learns not to do it as they develop mature eyesight, and then years of not looking at faces start to take their toll as their social skills lag behind because if you arent looking at a face you cannot perceive someone's expression, nor can you learn to imitate it!
early autism therapy SHOULD be working on desensitizing (without force) young children to these perceptual stress tests so they can tolerate the noxious stimulus. i have found that Adderall in particular helps me a LOT with this. i wish someone had explained to me what i just wrote in the above paragraph when i was about 4, because explaining the reasons why i will benefit from doing something unpleasant (like looking at a human face) is the only way to start to overcome the pathological demand avoidance that goes along with most autistic diagnoses: we get so fucking traumatized from being told or forced to do things against our will that it becomes a major dysfunction.
as ive gotten older a lot of my questions about why everyone seemed to behave differently than i do were answered by the observation that the majority of people are simply not noticing things. they are perceiving the world with far less detail than i am unless they choose (and/or are trained) to bring certain details into focus. those are skills that can be taught, i absolutely do not believe in innate talents or abilities, you can teach almost anyone to do almost anything, mastery is a matter of motivation, not god-given talent. but the majority of people are not noticing eye color, skin texture, and are bad even at accurately perceiving color, size and shape. they can look at a face without getting an electric shock. they dont receive a full body shot of adrenaline when a familiar voice actor shows up in a cartoon. they dont consciously hear the cat meowing three blocks away. their attention can be drawn to these things, if someone else points them out, but their subjective experience seems not to be, usually anyway, a series of clamoring and dazzling sensate intrusions which are impossible to ignore or not consider carefully. it seems safe to assume that most of the time, most allistic people only experience this state of consciousness while on drugs or otherwise in an altered mental state. when i started experiencing various drugs finally, i was able to see how similar these experiences were to normal or regular/recurrent daily sober experiences for me. while stone sober, i can get stuck in a bathroom because im looking at the tile pattern in exactly the same way someone on mushrooms will.
i think also it's important to emphasize to ourselves and to children that the human social group benefits from having someone with these abilities around. this is why the genotypes for autism are so common, and why they survive, and why we have archaeological and anthropological evidence of human settlements absolutely always having a minority of Weird Guys around who just know things but usually arent too interested in living in town with everyone else.
so super recognizers fit into the pattern of hyperlexia, hypercalculia, supertasters etc that are very commonly represented in autism. i guess i have a weird form of this where my recognition abilities will ping so hard on people that look SIMILAR that it ends up making me worse at recognizing people sometimes because i cant stop seeing their similarities.

It’s a cooking day! Or anyway it was a cooking morning. 
[ID: Top, an image of Sebastian Stan cooking, labeled “Cooking Day” in my handwriting. Below, images of several things I cooked: pesto, rutabaga latkes, a massive cluster of oyster mushrooms, the stems sauteeing in a pan, the caps shredded and waiting to go into the oven, and beautifully cooked mushrooms in barbecue sauce.]
I’m counting this as my NaClYoHo for the day because I also did a ton of dishes and ended up sweeping, vacuuming, and scrubbing the floor because I found a colony of pantry weevils living in a corner of the kitchen behind the trash. (Later today I will be stopping by the hardware store again to buy some insect traps and maybe say hello to Hardware Guy With The Good Hair.)
I don’t really eat greens so I researched what I could do with mizuna, and there was a pesto recipe that popped up, but I like my pesto recipe better so I used the Almond Pesto recipe in my file here; I subbed in cashews for the almonds and did half basil and half mizuna, which was fine I guess; I’m freezing most of it. It did use up my basil harvest from yesterday. 
The rutabaga I got in the farm share was fresh and clean, and I was looking forward to the latkes, but it started to smell while I was grating it, and when I was frying it the smell was so bad I almost had to leave the kitchen. The edges of the little fried pancakes were fine, but both the texture and the flavor of the middle were awful. I hate to waste food but there was no way I was going to eat them or feed them to anyone else, even if probably the flavor was me being a supertaster and not a general issue with rutabagas. 
Look at that honkin mass of oyster mushrooms I got, though! Truly delightful. I found a recipe for “mushroom pulled pork” that looked good, though I improvised from that framework -- I pulled the caps off the stems, tore them by hand and tossed them with olive oil and a seasoning mix I like, then baked them; meanwhile I diced the stems and threw them in a skillet with some seasoning, water, and soy sauce, steam-cooked them in the skillet to soften them, then sauteed until all the liquid was gone and stashed them for later use. By then the caps were out of the oven so I sauteed them too, adding barbecue sauce and a bit of dijon mustard.
I have to do a grocery run before I can cook anything else, but that’s fine; work is slow today and I’ll slip out to Trader Joe’s at lunch, maybe. In the meantime, podcasts this morning were “Economists Hate Car Dealerships Too” by The Indicator, “Why The Red Wave Didn’t Happen” by The Journal (really excellent, do recommend this episode) and “Murder on the Gulf Coast” by True Crime Obsessed. I also listened to a bit of “Peak Sand” by Planet Money, about beach sand theft, but it was a rerun. I saved it though, I think there might be some kind of plot there for a Shivadh novel at some point.

Be me.
Find a flavor of bagels at the grocery store and get very excited, Hawaiian Bagels. Well I love a Kings Hawaiian brand roll so a bagel would probably be amazing, even if its a cheapo Kroger brand approximation.
Buy bagels. Happy Skipping Leo dot Gif.
Slather 5 in wads of cream cheese and runny fried eggs, and consume happily. All that lovely mouth-coating fat hides an ugly truth. I am blissfully ignorant.
Bagel 6 breaks the mold and gets a thin layer peanut butter.
Finish up my bagel. Scroll reddit for a while until I notice a funny flavor lingering in my mouth. A chemically, plasticky, flat flavor - like the sourness that remains after finishing a breathmint, but not quite as sharp and funky. A flavor like sucralose. A hunch takes shape.
A giant red flag labeled SHRINKFLATION waves in my brain.

Dig the bag back out of my Bag O Bags™️, read deep into the ingredients
Ingredient 22 of 30: sucralose
Tumblr media
Cool, now I'm annoyed and frustrated and its 100% not my fault that I didn't think to check if there was a zero calorie sweetener in these regular-ass full-everything 260-calorie bagels. (Actually 260cal is a little low, which should have been a giveaway but I don't track calories so, again, I don't think to read calorie content labels.) My mouth tastes like plastic even though I am still drinking coffee and I have to go get READ THE INGREDIENT LABELS ON EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU BUY IT tattooed across the back of my hands because I can't ever remember to check for ingredients that should not fucking be in the food I'm carefully selecting to avoid those ingredients.
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO RUIN EVERYTHING, DIET CULTURE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, WHY.

I don't know the prevalence of supertasting in the autistic community, but I am both autistic and a supertaster and one of the ways I exist is to measure and categorize everything so, without ado of any kind, here are my tolerance levels for various tastes.
Feel free to add your own, regardless of your autistic or supertaster status.
Sweet: 7/10 (there is such a thing as too sweet but it'll take a lot to push me away)
Salty: 8/10 (I crave that mineral and even when I can feel it burning my lips, there are very few things that could be considered too salty for me)
Sour: 2/10 (I do not enjoy anything more sour than tomato ketchup)
Bitter: 1/10 (Bitterness absolutely ruins food for me. I cannot drink coffee or eat many vegetables because of this)
Spicy: 3/10 (I like a bit of tingle but anything that attacks the tongue or remains in the mouth for more than a few seconds is bad)
Earthy: 1/10 (This is probably a subcategory of bitter but anything like mushrooms is right out)
Fermented: 0/10 (included in this category is alcohol, kombucha, and any cheese in which mold is a feature. Anything that tastes of rot is not something I wish to experience)

Probably won't be post much for at least a week. I've got a couple members of the Chicago based Family visiting and that means everyone else is visiting too. But I just need to rant for a minute about the obliviousness that is My Mom. I just had to explain to her Yet Again, that although my brother and niece do not stay kosher, they are still Jewish and that perhaps pork for Friday Dinner would not be appropriate.

funny how it works that my sense of smell is my worst one physically, i'm a Known Non Smeller, but lately i've been feeling like my clairalience is my strongest clair sense. that's probably linked in some way but i'm not too well versed in the specifics on the clairs yet to really say

Does spice intolerance increase at night? Is that a thing?
Like I'm very weak to spice in general but there are meals that I'm like oof that's not completely comfy but it is also delicious om nom
But only when I eat them during the day
Like this uh banquet mega bowls dynamite penne and meatballs during the day is like. Yeah it's painful but it tastes good so I can push through and enjoy it right
But at night like right now
This is too much it just hurts like the pain blocks my ability to taste it
I'm over here eating the least sauced noodles only and wiping sauce off the meatballs like what is this is my brain like no it's eepy time no strong sensations
Or what

sam, you talk a lot about being a supertaster, which has gotten me thinking: I wonder if it's possible to be the opposite? because I've been noticing that, if I eat a food completely by itself, I can identify the taste (ie: chicken tastes like chicken, etc), but when I get a meal with ingredients all mixed together it just has Taste. I watch all these cooking shows where the judges talk about tasting "notes of spice" or "hints of [something]" and all I can think every time I eat something is "tastes like food".
Yes! If you google "nontaster" (some less salubrious sites say "subtaster" but that's kind of a sign of somewhere you shouldn't trust) you'll get some information on it.
I should say though, as a supertaster, it's not necessarily that I get more complexity out of food. You can be sensitive to very specific flavors which are then all you taste. Like, I thought the whole idea of tasting notes in beer or wine was just a marketing ploy. Beer tastes like beer tastes like beer, right? Turns out I'm sensitive to the hops, so all I get is the dumb bitter shit. Likewise, I didn't realize people actually taste different flavors in apples. There are some apples on the far-tart end of the spectrum where I can taste a difference, but I thought apples were basically marketed on texture. There's some enzyme, I think, in the apple that is just all I taste.
So it's entirely possible you are a nontaster, in fact that's very much what it sounds like, but there is an off-chance you're just super sensitive to one very common flavor in foods (salt, sugar, grains, etc) and that's all you taste. I'm not well-educated on nontasters so I can't give you a ton of advice, but there are tests you can do/buy to figure it out, so good luck and happy googling!
