King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard – albums K.G. and L.W.

an awakening, K.G. starts with the song called K.G.L.W and L.W. ends with a song called K.G.L.W, no they are not the same songs, the first one is light airy breezy like something woke up and the second one is a much more intense variation of the song

spotify playlists
Logan's Spotify Playlist

my process for creating this playlist is i favorite songs that i like, then i sift through those songs and toss out the ones which arent likely to be family friendly or have kinda weird messages, then the rest of the songs land in this playlist which makes for a playlist full of a wattered down Logan. Every once in awhile i try to condense the length of the playlist by identifying phases in the songs and deleting fluff from the list for me to rediscover later in life.

Logan's Spotify Playlist

drawn has an interesting set ofinteractions with people who were involved with making some of the most influential animated shows.

Land of 10mm Sockets

this playlist is all of the music i stumble across that is good for getting empowered to get things done, it is not filtered to be family friendly or void of weird messages. the name is a reference to the Ave dictionary.
