    I googled the lyrics to The Star-Spangled Banner after that meme performance and the first three results that I clicked on were all PDF downloads instead of links to pages I just kept not looking before clicking and then yelling FUCK so anyway I’ve got three PDFs of The Star-Spangled Banner on my phone that I will find in 9 months and they will baffle me

      Star spangled banner, autocorrect edition:

      Oh Daddy can you see by the Dawn’s easily long What do probably we jailed add the Twilight last glowing Whoa being strips and bright state They’d the person force Or the ramparts we watched We’re so thankful streaming

      And the tickets red flare The bonds busting in sure Have proof their the night That it flat was still there

      Oh saw guys that day spangled banner yet and Or the leave of the few And the home of the brave

      I consume those stuff when I don’t have a internet connection. So basically I download audibooks and stuff then when I don’t have internet access I read it.

    Just a few more RPG books. A few more, and then maybe I’ll actually start playing an RPG? Maybe. But anyway, I could download a few more first…

    In the last year or so I’ve gotten into vinyl records, cheap weird ones from thrift stores and stuff I’d never be exposed to in my normal searches.

    So much terrible music but every once in a while I’ll find a gem of a song that I never would have ever heard otherwise, like the Gypsy Kings Volare:

    https://youtu.be/D_TGGgkCLD8?si=0duiA_0ho7GFQGyZ

    I said all of that to say, I have more music to dig through than I can believe. It takes an intentional act of will to put an album onto the player and play it. I’m lucky to get to listen to 1 album a week if that.

        For me it’s kind of like I’ll put down an album and it’s mostly forgettable crap right? I mean the sixties and seventies put out a lot of good music but they also put out a lot of junk.

        But then in the midst of all of this junk all of a sudden a song will come on and it catches your attention and forces you to listen to it and it is so compelling and captivating that you can’t help but love it.

        And right now it’s about one out of every 10 random albums has a song like that, but I love finding them.
