Detset |
"Mariana Arc" |
Vermeil |
I do not require music to match my mood, |
2 |
Love // Paranoia |
"apparition" |
Where The Light Passed 3 |
or to correct it, |
3 |
Abstract Deviation |
"Cruel Old Woman" |
single |
or to relate to it at all. |
4 |
Eramaa |
"Scion" |
Pohjan Nainen |
I do not choose songs in order to produce a pre-chosen effect on myself, |
5 |
Dawn Of Solace |
"Erase" |
Flames of Perdition |
and in some sense "choose" is not even the right word. |
6 |

I walk into the current. |
7 |
Diablo |
"The Stranger" |
single |

11 |
The Artificials |
"Shadow Safety" |

13 |
The Great Discord |
"Avarice" |
single |
This week I feel buffeted by chaos engines, |
14 |
Anchor Thought |
"Remember This" |
single |
and thus my semi-organized status-report non-coincidentally leads with chaos and related engines, |
15 |
Dianthus |
"My First Breath" |
Realms |
but awareness of chaos is what self-awareness inherently becomes as it expands outside your own event-horizon. |
16 |
Red Handed Denial |
"Father Said" |
single |
Even the most ostensibly chaotic music is an order: |
17 |
Hitorie |
"ステレオジュブナイル" |
single |
any amount of randomness reduced to finite, |
18 |
Nekonomicon |
"KING" |
KING +1 |

"「知りたくなかった、失うのなら」 - feat.純猥談" |
single |
Companies regress from meaning well to meaning business, |
25 |
fedress |
"食べかけのドーナツ" |
single |
and the best ones stave off the arrival at procedural cruelty for longer |
26 |
Cö Shu Nie |
"o=レテヘの行進" |
SAKURA BURST 5 |
than the arrival at majestic collapse. |
27 |

No, but predatory food-chain guilt is a decadence. |
38 |
kolya |
"I Can't Stand U" |
Fake Rock Anthems |

39 |
ETM |
"Dejate" |
single |
an ecology organizes resistances according to corresponding strengths. |
40 |
Knight Area |
"The Dream" |
single |
Morality is the difference between seeking the unique utility of your power, |
41 |
Tungsten |
"Come This Way" |
single |
as that power's end, |
42 |
Chronosfear |
"The Astral Gates" |
single |
and trying to minimize exertion relative to reward. |
43 |
Nivh |
"Sivy Zmrok" |
Sivy Zmrok +1 |
A company makes this choice when they encounter the possibility to optimize an internal loss-function or a financial metric instead of a social goal |

and steer instead of navigating. |

Shape Of Despair |
"Forfeit" |
single |
It's not that any of these mortal dangers do not apply to creativity, |
48 |
Nebula Orionis |

it's that they are already inside of us, |
49 |
Harpyie |
"Die Geister die ich rief" |
Blutbann |
and still we sing. |
50 |
Versengold |
"Sternensee" |
Was kost die Welt |
The song does not, on the way up our throats, |
51 |
Bjarla |
"Kulning Ett" |
Kulning 5 |
write an obfuscatory mission statement |
52 |
Einvigi |
"Meren otteessa" |
single |
designed to justify the disassembly of the temples that were here when we arrived, |
53 |
Tarja |
"The Cruellest Goodbye" |
single |
without relocating their still-resident gods. |
54 |
Anna D'Ark |
"Забери меня" |
Немного до края |
The song does not, mid-chorus, decide that it would rather be a disingenuous explanation of why there are no songs. |

The most joyless song does not, however cynically we wring it, quite ever stop releasing joy. |

to perfect imperfection. |
61 |
Find Me |
"Remember (It's Me)" |
single |
And yet, the song resounds. |
62 |
Nasson |

63 |
Felskinn |

The last human off the planet |
64 |
福山芳樹 |

72 |
Weimar |
"Als gäb's kein Morgen mehr" |
single |
or just again, |
73 |
ErnstFall |
"Land meiner Träume" |
Jungs bleiben Jungs |
and is this actually a difference in how we improve, |
74 |
Hebosagil |
"Olen valmis lähtemään" |
single |
or just how we sell the highest-margin memberships in our quests? |
75 |
Mr.FanTastiC |
"Wake,Awake" |

4) Do I have my keys? |
76 |
Nissy |

77 |
Yabai T-Shirts Yasan |

single |
It's not merely that the song of this moment will be better than the moment, |
78 |
HOTSQUALL |
"Skelter" |
RAIN GROOVES 6 |
it's that the song is there, inherent in the moment as we live it, |
79 |
Skunk Anansie |

which is indistinguishable from saying that it was there all along. |
80 |
Mica Racciatti |

81 |
Thyla |
