Hi, welcome to the HK world!

Overload Special (Fantastic music is coming in way too fast, it cannot be absorbed in time, it will all get lost if we don't do something.  We have to catch it, the music, before that happens.  Please slow down a little if you can.  Go take a walk, read a book, take a nap, I donno.)

Hugs & kisses.  It's all in good fun.

This is my *favourite* of *all* my playlists.  It's essentially made of ignored music, kinda like leftovers, and like with food, some of it gets even better when reheated.

[I realize that what I'm about to express is rash, and that it may well be that my jugement in music is poor.  This could be because I lack the listening experience, therefore missing some of the necessary data to make valuable contribution.  For example perhaps most of these pieces of music are bad copies of older ones that I have never heard.  Yes that is always a possiblity.  If that is the case I apologize, again--getting tired of this--, and please let me know.  I thank you in advance.

I could have called this playlist "WTFU", I think the expression exists already.  I don't have time right now to see what it means, but in my case it means Wake The Fuck Up.  If it already exists, I'm sure it's in the armed forces of some or all countries of the world.

Listen you fucknuts:
(I'm calling it a mean name because I'm pissed.  The reason for me being slightly irritated--see I've already toned it down--is that these tracks have been out for months, and they are marvels of beauty and craftsmanship, and they have gotten so few plays compare to other ones not half as good, not as original, not as alive, not done with real care and love, etc.)

OK, Here we go, I'm a little pissed because I think I just realized that just about no one listens to the content of the playlists.  They appear to be some kind of marketing gimmick only I guess.  Since I am not absolutely certain of what I advance I will simply ignore it temporarily, and pretend that someone will listen to the music eventually.  This playlist will be public forever.  I swear it.
GO.

Oh, yes, one last thing.  If any of you who can read this cares, I welcome any and all comments about things I have did or said wrong.  I always welcome the opportunity to rectify anything that is wrong in what I do, say, or write.  (Yep, I'm old, I'm allowed to have such old fashion notions.)  I don't do that to be good, to be moral.  It's to survive in a way that is not too uncomfortable all the time.

Bisous.

P.S. Ah, I just thought about something else I want to bitch about.  I wasn't done, I apologize for that.
Shit I can't remember now.   I'll just come back.  Sorry.   ...

Ok, I remembered: aren't there people in this "business" who's job it is to spot good obscure stuff?  Were are they, these people?  I think they call them "scouts" maybe, ... I don't know much about that stuff so I will stop here.  I would not want to offend anyone.  I just feel bad about these tracks, like plants that will die if you don't water them.  I'm sensitive that way.

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
