This is the song that got me into Aesop Rock; a parable about creative integrity, among other things.
Rings | 2016
Aes’ own struggle with creativity.
Rogue Wave | 2020
The video features Aes’ drawings; significant in context of the previous song.

Now he’s working on a children’s book. Seems to me like a positive, productive progression; looks like man’s living up to the allegory of his ideals he laid-out back in '01. For an artist whose work mostly centers around pain and struggle, it’s a heartening thing to see.
I’ve found King Gizzard to be a real acquired taste. I absolutely adore some of their stuff, other stuff, I’m a bit more challenged by. This concert, as a whole, is pretty dang good though.
I’ve been watching a lot of anime recently, such as Attack on Titan and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, so I’ve been listening to il vento d’oro recently, Golden Wind is my favorite JoJo series.
As someone who hasn’t gravitated towards metal, this album absolutely shreds. I could not be happier right now listening to this. The energy is contagious.
I’m listening to GRISELDA. The rap group made of Conway The Machine, Benny The Butcher and Westside Gunn. It’s lyrical excellence in 90s gangsta rap jacket rocking tan Timbs.
