I finally fixed the annoying bug where playback would stop right after the first track in the playlist. It was a really hard one to find – I used Claude, but the final lines of code were written by myself. So, enjoy the player, you can even put your own tracker mods into the playlists. [Code @ GitHub]
. And, yeah, rewind is finally working too!

I was never into cars, but what I love about the Need For Speed series is definitely the music. Electronic Art’s Need For Speed series proved to have the best soundtrack out there. Game delivered all possible types of music that car racing game needs. Punchy trance, smooth ambient vibes, groovy guitar alternative with ruff riffs.
Towards the end of the 2000s, the quality of the soundtrack began to deteriorate.
I’m well aware that a fair number of my site’s visitors come here for retrowave music recommendations. But today, folks, I’ll be covering something different, albeit related and somewhat connected to the aforementioned genre. We are talking about [vaporwave]
. Although this genre fully emerged in the mid-2010s, I only discovered it now. It’s quite striking (even for me) that I’ve stopped following music trends.
This genre of music incorporates various characteristics of retrowave, chillout, ambient, dub, and phonk styles.
It’s been a while since i’ve posted something from [Ozric Tentacles]
. Here is a couple of gems at your disposal. Don’t even think about listening to them via puny multimedia speakers. Visceral sub bass and subtle synthesizer high frequencies blips are broadly present, so you just won’t hear them at all, and miss most of the action in audio spectrum if you use shitty equipment.

It’s Friday, for God’s sake! It’s been a while since i dropped 80s-like music here. So, let’s pause this techological ranting with some neat synthwave dedicated to all of you.

Note: the track is not available in paramilitary locations.
We haven’t heard anything really good from maestro Orbit in a long time, so here it is. Make sure to listen through bass-voiced speakers or neat quality Hi-Fi earphones.

AT THE INTERSECTION OF CULTURES. I am not into rapcore or even pop music, but this is awesomely lit! The Russian band “Nemodnye” has released an absolutely stunning cover of the song by the well-known American rapcore band [Linkin Park - In the End], adding parts of lyrics from the pop song by the Russian band [Otpetye Moshenniki - Lyubi Menya, Lyubi].

▀ INTRO RANT Just want to take a break from mindlessly trimming trailing spaces and fixing indentation “issues” in my “learning” projects at overpriced online courses.
If i have spare time i’ll surely drop that neat story on you, where i share lessons learned about reality of web development and avoiding costly mistakes when it comes to paid education (or in reality: self-learning).
I stumbled upon a really good ’80s cover on YT, believe it or not it is the best one. If I’m not mistaken, the guy at the 8-second mark around the center of the frame is [Jean-Claude Van Damme]
, who was not well-known at that time.

is a UK SCi-Fi dark comedy, packed with humor and good acting. Aliens and zombie zoomers are also involved in the action, so the movie won’t be boring. I think this film will instantly saturate your Monday evening with positive colors.

It seems that we made another one and it was not easy at all. But we did it. I would like to show gratitude to all my loyal readers, thank you for staying with me for such a long time. I do my best to make this place extremely special and unique in the junk of the modern internet landscape.

As a long-term user of Android OS i stacked up the most irksome peculiarities. They have been with us for ages, since version 1.0 to be exact.
messed up separation between internal and external storage, which is not clear to a generic windows user, files are hard to find, applications save data randomly either on internal or external storage, logic pattern is definitely broken here incoherent and unclear notification system, with poor organization of priorities absence of transparent file handling, i am talking about file extension-application matching, there is no convenient tools to manage this task And it looks like google will never fix above mentioned facts.
