<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 an old website on google sites (i know, it's shameful) <arel="me"target="_blank"href="https://old.satch.xyz">here</a>. most places online you can find me as <code>satchlj</code>.</p>

<p>i'm about to perform as berenger in rhinoceros, a play which i directed this fall. i have two more weeks of gcc classes in the semester (linear algebra and microbiology) and one more week of my wonderful reading ulysses class. </p>
<p>i started a few cool things online, most recently a pleroma instance called <ahref="https://owlper.ch">the owl perch</a>.</p>
<p>i'm trying to change my last name to benson. we'll see how it goes.</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>
