Hey, I noticed I've never shared the synthwave music list that I use to work/write/program/whatever. So in case anyone is interested, there it is.

I've added a couple of songs that aren't exactly syntwave, but that I really like. Also, there is some music with Chinese lyrics, because I'm trying to learn the idiom. But they are good songs, so I hope that doesn't stop anyone from listening to them.

Also, I hate to be supporting Spotify in some way, even if I don't pay their Premium or anything. I know the CEO is a shithead (zero surprises here) and that they support other shitheads like Joe Rogan who spreads misinformation and gives voice to fucking neonazis. Unfortunately, I haven't found much of this music in other platforms that treat the artists better, like Bandcamp or Soundcloud. You know what they say about ethical consumption and capitalism, but still please let me know if there are better alternatives.

Literally anyone all the time:

You’re such a ray of sunshine. Always smiling, you bring light into any room.

Long Beach is an incredibly difficult track, but I managed to show a lot of pace in Qualifying. I tried to continue that pace in the race, but the car didn't seem to hold up too well after a few laps and I binned it a couple times. Budget constraints leave us with just one option: DUCT TAPE AND FRANKENBUMPER!

Slowbird Vintage Used Sports Car Emporium & Warehouse had a spare front bumper they lent us, but the fenders were much harder to find. A nardo gray bumper and a couple rolls of speed tape later, we've got a car that barely passes tech for next week's finale at Okayama!

Qualified 7th with a 1:17.455, finished in 8th to capture 4 more championship points. We're looking forward to the next race so we can hopefully keep the car clean and bring home a top five. I have the speed, I just need to keep it clean!

(also the car is for sale, gently used, $45,945. no low ballers, i know what i got)
