In anticipation of the #OliviaRodrigo Philippine stop this October, I went to sleep last night with her songs on shuffle. I forgot to turn off the auto playlist feature of YouTube #Music though, so the algo kept working. I woke up sometime past midnight to a song I've never heard before but which I found oddly captivating--it was "Astronomy" by #ConanGray, a singer I've always "run into" online (I think he may have appeared in the Olivia Rodrigo "sour prom" YouTube event) but whose actual songs I haven't really heard before. I put the first two songs of each of Conan Gray's three albums and marvelled at how differently they sound from each other but also how all were quite good. I went back to sleep and told myself to listen to him during the day.

This I did, and I also looked him up online. I found his conspicuous absence from Pitchfork surprising. This is because I've always associated Gray with
#TroyeSivan (imagining, for no clear reason, that Gray was sad Sivan), and Sivan has been positively reviewed thrice on Pitchfork. The only mention of Gray is in a feature about DJ and producer #JamCity, who has produced Conan Gray and Olivia Rodrigo and someone else with the intriguing name #DebNever.

So I looked up Deb Never and saw their latest release was a collaboration with something called 1999 Write the Future. Great name, I thought, so I looked them up and saw they're an
#88rising project. Their web site is a wonderful throwback the early #internet :

I'm going to enjoy looking through it, but maybe later. I'm off to listen to new music.
