Another Victory for Genre Tags!

So my earphones have been pretty broke for some time. The kind of broke where the left speaker makes an awful buzzing noise now and then for reasons that I'm not astute enough to completely pin down. This is extremely annoying, as I use them to listen to music whenever I go anywhere. This has possibly made me even more reluctant to ever go anywhere than I ordinarily am.

However, I have discovered this!: For whatever reason, the haphazard collection of tunes that I happen to have tagged as being "Dream Pop" cause the buzzing to happen substantially less. I'm sure there's a reason for this, probably something to do with... Less bass? Maybe? Eh. Anyway, the upshot is that now I can once again go places, so long as I'm happy to be carried along by a wave of ethereal soundscapes and indecipherable wailing. Which, of course, I always am. Here's some:



That said, I ordered some new earphones last night. Specifically some of those crazy gross ones that, like, go right into your ears. I've been wary of them before, but I'm sick of my other earphones being crappy* and dying on me all the time. And I'm not sure I can commit to carrying actual headphones around, and I worry about them pressing my glasses right into the side of my head. As can happen. Still... I'm worried about my ears going "Ow, what are these gross things in me, go away," and of being hit by a car while I wander around unable to hear anything but Elizabeth Fraser's ethereal wailing. So let's hope both and either of those things don't happen!
