within the last year or so somebody, maybe imago, posted a bandcamp link to a record that was some kind of 23-song (maybe not exactly) bedroom power pop thing, lots of short songs, lofi sound, does this ring a bell to anyone?? i meant to bookmark it to return but the artist name and virtually everything else has disappeared from my brain

do we have a general-purpose thread for digital detox/dumb phone/reducing screen time? if not, thinking of making one for purposes of mutual support

There are a few "internet addiction" threads, this one touches on that sort of thing.
― Kim Kimberly, Monday, 29 December 2025 20:29 (five months ago)
But a thread originating in 2025 would probably be welcome.

i think so too, i will see if anybody else expresses interest

there's some good stuff on that thread. would prefer to start a new one though because i'm not interested in debating whether smart phones are good or not, just want a thread for people who are trying to be on their devices less. a lot of ppl are in extreme denial about this so i think it's best to be cordoned off somewhat

Thread from a year or two ago (?), in the genre of threads about much-hyped acts whose critical standing has since shifted, and specifically where it turned into a long hard look at The Hooters and their peers.

― Serfin' USA (sleeve), Saturday, 2 May 2026 17:21 (one month ago)
Songs that fool you about where the downbeat is.
I guess this is the closest thing. 5/4 just isn’t a very common time signature in music, har har.
― Mr. Snrub, Monday, 4 May 2026 11:02 (one month ago)

― Maresn3st, Monday, 4 May 2026 11:23 (one month ago)
Searching through the DePaul University library's LP collection in the late nineties, I turned up this extended version of one of the most famous songs in 5/4 time, Dave Brubeck's "Take Five". While the original studio version is the gold standard, this goes to all kinds of amazing places with stretched-out exploration of the five feel. This is an epic live take. Have a good 5/4
