i write and review media (mostly music) every once in a while, just out of pure personal enjoyment and nothing else.
pls dont take what i say serious, this is all just for fun!
hobbies outside of writing/music:
lifting, gunpla, jdm cars, mechanical keyboards, retro tech,
gaming (fps & ffxiv), reading, anime & manga
💿 my listening profile:
- 90% of the time wired and on my pc via IEMs (over-the-ear headphones give me headaches lol)
- all-in-one headphone amp/dac connected to my itx desktop
- new albums listened through spicetify (modded version of spotify with useful plugins/extra features)
- on-the-go listening is usually through spotify on my phone with apple airpod pros 2
- albums i really like i'll buy the cd or download hi-res flacs, tag them properly, and throw the hoard into: musicbee, plex (for whenever i want to listen on my bedroom stereo system), and my ipod
- genres i listen to the most: kpop, jpop, pop, city pop, r&b, hip-hop, rap, phonk, breakcore
- the way i find new music is normally through socmed, recommendations, spotify's discover weekly/release radar, and browsing around aoty/rym
💿 review process:
- throw albums/singles into my 'inbox' playlist on spotify
- listen to it throughout the week or just whenever im in the mood for new music
- give it at least 3-4 listens
- 1 last playthrough where i sit down and actively listen/pay attention
- write final thoughts w/ the review template i have in obsidian (i dont always publish them, most --if not all-- sit in a dropbox folder on my pc lol)
- delete album from 'inbox', goes into 'outbox'
- outbox gets cleared at the end of the month
- favorite tracks go into a quarterly playlist (ie. 2023 - Q2, 2024 - Q4, etc)
