And there I was galivanting and proudly prompting how much time I’ve got on my hands and then I’m not even giving you the No 2 of my TOP THREE DIGITAL FRAGMENTS OF THE YEAR 2022. So without further ado and because I have to give you a No 1 as well here’s
No 2
This is a double entry (see? it is possible to sqeeze at least 4 items in a top three list)
A music video you say? Well it was nonetheless an algorithm who alerted me to this wonderful little fivesome. To put that into perspective, my mother, who I love dearly and much more than any algorithm, is quite useless when it comes to music recommendations. She once tried to hinge me up with the words „She likes music too!“ An algorithm is vastly superior in that regard.
Sometimes it does feel as if music can be bought by the pound or for you metric lovers out there – kilograms. „I would like 2 kilos of music please. Make it a big slice, I like it a bit raw in the middle.“
And here is a band from the Isle of Wight which not only consists of five friends from school, uni and simply growing up together, a band that not only has grown organically over the past years, but a band that kept all of this masterfully compressed into a debut album.
It is refrehing to see music and indeed people are not dead and can be successful and childish at the same time. (love emojy for real)
Next is No 2b
We’ll make it short, it’s a video game where you play a cat in a simply beautiful crafted Kowloonesque environment. And you can be a cat. And you can do cat things. It’s real, well it’s obviously not, but as real as it gets when it comes to digitally recreated life.
