living proof by collabs #august 2025 - con mucho AuGusto
/
august brought a wave of inspired collaborations—so many creative sparks flew this month!

musically speaking, a lot of flavors covered: live jams, jazz fusion, funk, house, techno, classic rock anthems, punk, alternative, experimental, ambient, lo-fi, hip-hop, folk, singer-songwriter—every groove under the sun welcome.

our musical handshakes reached out from argentina to germany, poland, italy, japan, and switzerland.

languages dropped in the mix: english and german

collaboration languages: spanish, german, polish, japanese, english, and of course, swiss german

the playlist keeps the chronological drop order more or less, track one is already the exception of the rule - this song sums up this month of August in turmoil quite well, for me at least.

What's Coming: Freedom in Frequency+ // 
Soul Maniacs live @ Damm, Zürich / Switzerland 
/
music: 
two cover versions performed by the Soul Maniacs, a collective based in Zürich, Switzerland.
/ 

Streetplayers are the pulse—urban troubadours weaving raw life into every beat and rhyme.  
They own the streets’ secrets and stories, turning the daily grind into art and anthem.  
More than performers, they’re navigators of culture’s undercurrent—voices of unfiltered truth.  
In every corner, their signal sparks connection: streetwise poetry alive and thriving.

i only make short term promises, i might stay off weed longer if my post year analysis shows improvement. then again, might try "moderation" once again, you never know. but i will keep my one year commit, as always <3

i can definitively say my poker game is declined :D but could be temporary. shout out to all the others struggling with overuse of suboptimal stuff <3

dang i had to "fix" it and reupload a gamillion times

Synesthesia

Written by James Geer

 I’ve seen lots of garbage in my day
I’ve heard lots of garbage in my day
Just throw it away
Just throw it away
Just throw it away today
Today!

When you get garbage in your head
From the garbage people say
Just throw it away
Just throw it away
Just throw it away today
Today!

When you get garbage in your heart
Dear but leading you astray
Just throw it away
Just throw it away
Just throw it away today
Today!

Away
