Sometimes what I really don’t need is screaming hype music in my ears. Sometimes I need to be in a flow zen state to keep me from wanting to leave.

my thoughts are calm. my breathe is slow. the fire in my legs is but a dull burn in the corner of my mind.

I do not associate working out with any sort of emotional release. If anything it might be a meditative thing? Because of this I do not listen to angry music or anything like that either. I have earbuds in maybe 30% of the time I’m in the gym. My friends and strangers have called me a psychopath for this, but I think I just have a strong internal monologue and enjoy people watching. Anyways, when I do listen to music, it is usually wholly inappropriate for the situation. Sometimes the contradiction is what I enjoy the most about it. Today I listened to Ethel’s Carpet Bed, which I had not heard yet. Great little EP, not sure if I have a favorite as there are only 4 tracks that blend pretty smoothly together. The weird tradcath lifter stereotype that has infected our youth kinda reminds me of her heavy religious tones, so maybe it wasn’t as inappropriate as it seemed. Listen to something weird at the gym, achieve hypertrophy, vibe out.

i work a physically intensive job, so setting aside time to center myself and tend to my mobility is very important to me. that said, a surprising amount of work goes into finding the perfect backing track for these quiet moments of remediation, and andré 3000’s ‘new blue sun’ has been a haven for me since its release.
the lead melodies on its opening track incentivize thoughtful, intentional breathing, and encourage reflection in ways simple guided meditations simply can’t measure up to. on more than one occasion, i may or may not have been moved to tears by its ethereal cascades of emotion :’)
when the talking heads over at headspace just can’t cut it, three stacks comes through ^_^
here are some other picks that put me in an ideal headspace to face the world, ever poised on the precipice of collapse:
• brian eno — ’music for airports’
• hiroshi yoshimura — ‘music for nine post cards‘
• adrianne lenker — ‘instrumentals’
• floating points & pharoah sanders — ‘promises’
i should do a playlist of these…

Specifically somewhere around the third date. When you realize you’re really friends. Got high and went out for Mexican with a new friend and it was magical because we‘re giggling and having so much fun and it’s like hey, we’re real friends I think! So fun creating new connections with new people in real life!
