<h1>music tastes</h1>
<p>i like long walks on the beach. but more than that, of course, i like pink floyd, yes, jacob collier, the beatles, and lots of fiddlin' jams, mind blowing classical compositions, and snippets of birdsong, from the beginning of music way back in the day all the way through to the present.</p>
<p>other killer bands and artists: fleetwood mac, <abbrtitle="alt-j">∆</abbr>, neutral milk hotel, genesis, van der graaf generator, king crimson, radiohead, the grateful dead, jethro tull, joanna newsom, gil scott-heron, arden lloyd, peter gabriel, david bowie, paul simon (and simon & garfunkel), peter paul and mary, the band, joan baez, liz carroll, crosby stills & nash, the gaslight tinkers, solas, the decemberists, the flaming lips, and (last but not least) the great django reinhardt.</p>

<p>i have graduated and applied to colleges! i'm gone on a <ahref="https://kroka.org/programs/semester-school/arctic-to-manhattan-semester">kroka</a> semester. i'll be away from the internet from then until june 11th, but check my blog to see if i've written you any snail mail!</p>
<p>when i return, i'll be leaving home for good and getting ready for my freshman semester of college. my life is changing fast, and i'm trying my best to hold on.</p>
<p>i have too many email addresses, just ask <ahref="mailto:wyliertt@gmail.com">wylie</a>, but you can always reach me at <ahref="mailto:satya@benson.place"rel="me">sj@benson.place</a> or <ahref="mailto:mail@satch.xyz"rel="me">mail@satch.xyz</a>.</p>
<p>i list my accounts on the <ahref="#web"rel="me">me on the web</a> page, but i really don't check them all that much. the best way to social media me is the fediverse. i run a pleroma instance called the <ahref="https://owlper.ch">owl perch</a> and i am <ahref="https://owlper.ch/satchlj">@satchlj@owlper.ch</a>.</p>
