Things like this are why you shouldn't use your real email address when you sign up for things. I don't even bank with these Neo fucks and because I flirted with thinking about one day maybe banking with them...

and also because I forget to unsubscribe to stuff

and also because sometimes you think you've unsubscribed to things by way of the built-in Gmail tool or unroll.me

but it turns out that no, you haven't

because fuck you, that's why

...I have to read dumb shit like this on the regular, which reminds me, on the regular, that everything is very, very stupid these days.

Sidebar: I haven't yet built any aliases inside of my Protonmail account but as I am degoogling (and, as much as is possible, de-FAANGing) my life I should really get on top of that before this finally breaks reality and all of us along with it.

Anyway, choons.

🎵🎵 Roses Gabor, "PEACES"

Apple Music, Spotify

I mentioned yesterday that a Lupe Fiasco song recorded last year was "spiritually a 90s hip-hop track." In a similar way, there is something unmistakably 1998-2003 about "PEACES." It merits mention that this was sitting near the top of the Vibes playlist in Apple Music Electronic.

🎵🎵 Villager, "SIX SHOTS"

Apple Music, Spotify

"SIX SHOTS" was also on the Vibes playlist. And where the Roses Gabor track made me feel late 1990s to early aughts, so much of the instrumentation in the Villager song feels not... unrelated to New Jack Swing. Listen, and see if you hear the same.

🎵🎵 Le Tigre, "Deceptacon"

Apple Music, Spotify

Earlier today I was thinking about my life back in Montreal ~20 years ago. Later, while I was watching a handful of delightful people take a Bachata dance class literally inside the St. Louis Bar & Grill in the Atrium on Bay, I thought about dancing to "Deceptacon" during an 11-second dance party, a staple of the 13th Hour, which was a staple of the Montreal Fringe Festivals back in the day.
