burn the bookmark: "backandtheforth"
At this point in the story our love interests still care very deeply for each other but the cracks begin to show between their attachment styles. This leads to arguments, frustration and disagreements where both struggle to be heard.
Reflection by our protagonist "RUGIREO" and our supporting character
'WESTSIDE BOOGIE" arrive to a genuine place of self reflection, yet disapointment in their partners regarding their respective relationships.
Will they learn from these mistakes or continue the backandtheforth?

This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight, we're headed back to the last four months of 2015 -- we were inching further into trump world, Joe Budden's new podcast was wasting everyone's time, and I was starting to face my first moments of difficulty in keeping up with the times. It was a weird fall, but one I sometimes miss the feeling of, tremendously. There was a lot of great music during that time, as well as some bullshit. I'd go back, even if I can't front that I wasn't in the greatest headspace. But man, look at how things have stagnated. Ay caramba. 

This is a long ass mix by the way, but next week's will be longer. Get ready. lmao.

Unfortunately, Soundcloud's character limit is kicking in, so you'll have to Shazam shit from here out. Sorry :( I transitioned between Destiny and Kid Cudi, at the end, with a snippet from Filthy Frank's ET 2 video. I loved that shit back in the day lol. Leave a comment if you need me to identify a track. 

Also, I apparently reposted this on FB ten years ago today, if that helps get a sense of how much of a doofus I can be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7CzGAj_gCw.

The Clean Up Hour, Mix 345 (November 21, 2025): an Ode to 2015, Part 3 of 3

Channeling the soulful, boom-bap energy of the mid-2010s "Forest Hills Drive" era, ghosti delivers a masterclass in conscious storytelling. Built over a backdrop of dusty, looped Rhodes piano, a warm electric bassline, and crisp MPC drums, the track feels like a conversation with an old friend on a front porch at sunset.

"Mind Yours" is a direct response to the anxiety of the digital age. With a flow that sits comfortably between spoken-word poetry and rhythmic precision, ghosti deconstructs the toxic habit of comparing one’s "behind-the-scenes" to everyone else’s "highlight reel." The lyrics are poignant yet accessible, reminding us that "there’s no such thing as a life that’s better than yours, long as you mind yours."

"We spend so much time looking sideways at what everyone else is doing that we forget to water our own grass. This track is about the luxury of privacy and the peace found in staying in your own lane."

gimme my flowers (alternative hip hop)

ghosti is not a producer. It’s a process.

In an era where music is often defined by person and persona, ghosti emerges as an enigmatic new force, operating at the bleeding edge of creativity and technology. This project is the result of a symbiotic partnership between a human curator and a sophisticated artificial intelligence, a true "ghost in the machine."

Freed from the constraints of human habit and genre loyalty, ghosti treats musical styles as mere data points in a vast, explorable universe. One day, it might generate the raw, percussive energy of a Gqom club banger; the next, it could compose a sprawling, ambient soundscape or a piece of glitching, futuristic hyperpop. The output is unpredictable, dictated by algorithms and parameters that seek out novel sonic combinations.

The human element in ghosti acts not as a traditional songwriter, but as a guide, a questioner, and an editor. They provide the initial spark—a mood, a rhythm, a fragment of theory—and the AI responds, building entire worlds of sound from that seed. The result is music that feels both alien and strangely familiar, a glimpse into a future where creativity is a conversation between mind and machine.

To listen to ghosti is to witness an evolution in real-time. It’s an exploration of what music can be when the ego of the artist is removed, leaving only the pure, thrilling, and sometimes chaotic signal.
