I don't think I have a definite answer to this these days. Back when I used to buy CDs and listen to them, I probably would have been able to say. The way I consume music now is so different. But maybe one of these albums, depending on the day, mood, and other variables, as I'm fickle that way:
Album cover for Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia by The Dandy Warhols, featuring a close-up of a person wearing a denim jacket adorned with patches. Album cover for The Black Album by Metallica, featuring a dark, nearly black background with a subtle coiled snake in the lower right corner and a faint, stylised "Metallica" logo in the upper left.

Floating.

23 January 2025
A calm river flows under an overcast winter sky, with a snow-covered shoreline lined by trees. Patches of ice float on the water, reflecting the muted light of the cloudy day. A serene winter landscape featuring a wide river with a partially frozen surface. Snow blankets the distant shoreline, where a dense tree line stretches into the horizon under a gray sky. A cold winter day by the river, with dark water reflecting the overcast sky. The distant shoreline is covered in snow, and ice fragments float on the surface, hinting at the seasonal transition. A vast river in winter, surrounded by a snowy forested shoreline. The water remains mostly unfrozen, except for a few drifting ice patches. The sky is cloudy, creating a peaceful, monochrome atmosphere.

You listen to music when you take a shower, right? Surely I'm not the only one?

Anyway, not that I'll report here daily what my shower playlist is, but today, I thought I should, as the playlist is too epic not to be shared.
A screenshot of a Spotify playlist titled "This is Dido." The playlist cover image features a collage of Dido's album covers and a portrait. The playlist has a total duration of 3 hours and 39 minutes. The first four songs listed are "Hurricanes," "Thank You (Not So Bad)," "White Flag" (with a video icon), and "Hunter.".

A bright moon shines through a veil of wispy clouds in a deep blue sky.

I feel like there should be some polar bears roaming around here. Alas, we don't have them here. Occasionally, you can spot a wolf, though. Not that I've seen any of them yet.
A serene winter landscape. A wide river flows through a snowy landscape, with a clear blue sky reflecting on its surface. The river is partially frozen, with patches of ice visible. Trees line the riverbanks, their branches bare in the winter season.

Can you feel how cold it is here?

It’s -12°C, but I love how quiet and beautiful it is now. The trees you can see are in my yard.

A winter wonderland scene with snow-covered trees against a clear light sky. The branches are heavy with snow, creating a beautiful contrast.

A full moon shines brightly in the evening sky, casting a reflection on the still, dark water of a river. Trees line the riverbanks on both sides.
