(ed note but still fuck algorithms don’t forget this.) I didn’t know anything about SimCity (a thing that came up today, when I mentioned that I would post this, was Matthew saying “the description should be like an in-game SimCity notification or something!” to which I responded “I’ve never actually played SimCity”), but somehow found myself charmed by a very optimistic and charming album full of music that I think perfectly matches the idea of what some people endeavor to achieve with ambient music, creating songs that are fundamentally interesting to focus on, but completely capable of blending into the background. I’m not really sure how I think I had listened to other game soundtracks and this came up as related. Last year, I went through some personal hardships and needed something that didn’t sound like anything else I was already listening to.
It’s that sort of creative freedom that’s actually enabled me to try doing some of this, which I would not have considered otherwise.īringing us back to the soundtrack to SimCity 3000, AKA my favorite album. The bulk of our conversations about this blog essentially boil down to one of us saying “this feels pretty Trash Garbage” and the other going “I agree, post it”. What I liked about Trash Garbage from the inception is that Matthew and I really never had any intention of what this should be. Which is true, but it doesn’t mean that this is out of place. The reason I want to talk about Trash Garbage a bit is that when I sat down to earnestly talk about why I had picked songs out for this playlist I had a fleeting thought of “wow, how unlike this blog this is”. Also, I think I might talk about Trash Garbage a little, because it’s my blog and I get to put whatever I want here until Matthew removes it during copyediting. So instead, I’m going to talk about what I like about it and what I tried to do with this playlist.
This sounds like a joke and I have no way to assure you it is not. So, my all-time favorite album is the soundtrack to SimCity 3000.
