My Tadé boar after 8 uses is getting more comfortable and soft. Getting from awful to usable was just a matter of two days, but going from usable to good and then great will take more effort. It's getting softer and easier to splay.
Got another stank reaction today: one of my older male colleagues compared my scent to that of old GDR disinfectant, while my younger colleague said it reminded him of brand new rubber shoes or tires. Noice.
Sidetracked
Since I had to fix my printer a bit for printing a CV for my future nursing school, I feel in the mood for something electronic again - but this time a bit more sinister: Perturbator - Raining Steel (NSFW album cover). I like how it balances energetic beats with almost melancholic sounding synth passages and goes on to combine both. Someone posted this song with a montage from the first Mad Max movie and it was simply a great fit. Perturbators style has changed a bit nowadays, but this dark synthwave is what I'll always associate with him. I might share some more artists from the french darksynth circle, so stay tuned and have a awesome week!
