Week 12 of 2026
Added an AI usage policy, after reading about it in Denis’ weeknotes. Nowadays it feels like half of the internet is AI-generated slop.
Wasn’t able to maintain a daily habit of exercising, so I’m walking instead.
My family gave me flowers, sweets and two albums as birthday presents:
Listened to
Albums/EPs:
- Favorite of the week: Antropoceno - No Ritmo da Terra (Also on Bandcamp). Another candidate for favorite album of the year. I need an expert to tell the exact genre of this album, it mixes Brazilian music with electronic and even Post Metal elements
- Antropoceno - Naturaleza Morta (Also on Bandcamp). It was in my list of 2025 albums to revisit. A great mix of Shoegaze and Brazilian music. Still figuring out whether I like this more than the new album or not
- BTS - Arirang. An OK album, my expectations were too high. I liked the first half but a lot of the second half sounded like generic pop to me
- dreamtheater2 - Where God Ends and Mankind Begins. One of the best band names ever
- Gong - Bright Spirit (Also on Bandcamp). Good prog. I wasn’t familiar with their work and they have being releasing music since the ’70s
- Trauma Ray - Carnival (Also on Bandcamp). I expected more after listening to their single Hannibal some weeks ago
