@ -19,6 +19,8 @@ I finally got around to listening to *SOPHIE* by SOPHIE. Man, I have such mixed
I downloaded [*nothing or something to die for* by mui zyu](https://muizyu.bandcamp.com/album/nothing-or-something-to-die-for). I had high hopes because I really like "donna like parasites" (I got a version of it in [a free sample pack from the label](https://fatherdaughterrecords.com/products/its-2025-and-wow-thats-unfortunate-but-well-get-thru-this-with-a-free-sampler-so-here-ya-go)), but I found the album as a whole to be rather dull. "donna" was my only standout. zyu did put out [a collection with a few of the songs translated into Cantonese](https://muizyu.bandcamp.com/album/nothing-or-something-to-die-for-cantonese-tasting-menu), which features Emmy the Great (who I like) — a really cool idea that would be more novel if I was into the original tracks.

I shifted to Joanna Newsom's earliest release, *Walnut Whales*; it's a rough sketch of songs that would be realized later, but there's something really interesting about them — I think I love ["Peach, Plumb, Pear"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtRoOGYTGJc) better than [the one that eventually appeared on *Milk-Eyed Mender*](https://joannanewsom.bandcamp.com/album/the-milk-eyed-mender) (which is, of course, iconic and still wonderful, but I love a synth). I really love ["Erin"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOACtsrSsgo) too, which never saw a re-recording outside of *Walnut Whales*. I listened to a bunch of *Ys* as well; it remains one of my favorite albums.

I'm still super into *I Love My Computer* by Ninajirachi. Brendon Bigley [wrote a great review of it](https://wavelengths.online/posts/a-good-album-i-love-my-computer-by-ninajirachi) on Wavelengths.
