I have resisted posting this for like eight weeks now because it's an extremely dickish thing to do but my allergies are shit today, I spent two days this weekend fucking around in Terminal to rebuild my home network because a stupid little $100 travesty grenaded the shit out of everything and my horological materials have twice profiled "collectors" who got started at like eleven when their dads gave them $140k Cartier Tanks or they bought themselves fucking Patek Philippes to celebrate finishing law school.

So fuckit.

For all intents and purposes Vangelis hasn't done fuckall since like 2000, and then for some reason in 2016 he did a legit 40min EP about the 2004 Rosetta mission. I guess because he got a phone call from the ISS in 2014? Which made him decide maybe it was time to make music again?

So fast forward to 2020 and Tidal pops up with "Juno to Jupiter" but it won't let me play it. So I whine to a buddy who torrents a lot who hooks me up with a copy.

It's fucking DOPE.

But you can't buy it.

Not legally anyway.

The Blade Runner Soundtrack was announced in 1982. It was finally released in 1994, and in the meantime there were trades of illicit taped bootlegs sourced from VHS and shit. In the meantime you were stuck putting up with this bullshit, particularly if you grew up in the goddamn desert, two goddamn hours from a fucking Sam Goody.

  So if nothing else, this modern age has given us illicit FLACs.  

Which may have to do until we've actually made it to Jupiter.
