Ian Taylor quit the livestrems. Their main purpose was to rekindle his love for music and he has achieved that. I was sad about it for a while, but... yeah. When I think about the streams now (it's Wednesday morning as I'm typing this, I found out yesterday evening), I feel warmth, not pain. I had fun this summer. I barely had any days off from work (excluding weekends) and even though I love my job, the streams were very important to me, as a way to forget everything else in the world and be around people who truly liked me as I am. A big group of them, too, and from the safety of my own home, behind a screen. I loved it. Ian, if you ever read this - thank you. You made my summer 2023. And I will continue to see you on your song premieres on YouTube and hopefully some day live, if a tour takes you to Finland. 🖤

(This blog has 3-4 regular readers, but I'm pretty sure they're all Europeans, based on when they read my blog. Knox Hill and Ren gain a bit more readers, and some random posts occasionally as well.)

I've been listening to a lot of female rappers (trying to find ones who are good rappers AND good lyricists AND don't have an annoying voice AND whose vocals I can understand, I can make out what they're saying). They are out there. I'm gonna get back to this topic later.
