Porcupine Tree – Hello!! Save Data

To reinvent oneself every year is a common goal among us humans, don’t you think?. In my case, that trite saying has been a defining albeit involuntary aspect of life. I have more “past lives” in this life than I would like.

But here we are again, with an update to the site I had been processing for the past 5 months: “Hello!! Save Data”, remade, now with a menu (also for mobile devices), little icons and other trinkets. Most of the changes are a gift to myself, since they’re supposed to facilitate the process of administrating the site. Let’s see if we can finally write more often!

Great things are on the way, like the launch of “Astro Web” and my struggle for survival in the freelancing world. For now, I leave you with a song by Porcupine Tree that helps me remember all those past souls and lives:

Here’s a hymn to those that disappear.

After another busy week, let’s try a new sort of musical post. Each month, I’ll share what I’m listening, my personal playlist that I usually hear on my way to work or whenever I have to use public transportation without company. This time, the playlist was put together as a sample of my musical tastes so you know what to expect from the reviews and musical articles I’ll be posting here in this blog. The plan is to make one playlist each month, and throughout the month, I’ll be reviewing the tracks in the list.

For this occasion, even though the mix is pretty varied, the mood ranges from melancholic and nostalgic to looming and unsettling. This was intentional, and what originally inspired me was listening to “The Eraser“ (a Thom Yorke album) for the first time.
