Hi!

I’m looking for like-minded people, new friends, who are still exploring the hippie lifestyle (like me).
I’m 22F, so preferably someone around the same age.

I’m not looking to date, so please if those are your intentions don’t dm me.
Otherwise feel free to send me a dm!

Music Looking for folk or indie songs that are nature-themed, talking about the Earth or anything related, like the weather, natural disasters, diseases, animals, life itself, and especially the beauty of it all!

15 Upvotes

I enjoy making themed playlists and this is the newest one I’m working on. You can also include songs about humanity or truer hippie themes like fighting the system, anti-war, etc, but those songs will be fewer in the playlist and come towards the end.

Here’s a sample of some of the songs I’ve gathered so far:

- Earth by Sleeping At Last
- First Light by Hozier
- Orchard by the Honey Trees
- To Build a Home by The Cinematic Orchestra
- End of August by Noah Kahan
- Eden’s House by Milky Chance
- Keep the Wolves Away by Uncle Lucius
- Watching You Breathe by Jacoo (not sure if this fits the nature theme exactly, but I love it so much!)
- No One to Kill in the Sky by Seb Lowe (potential addition; might sound too harsh though, will probably drop or add to the end which will cover difficult human topics)

Also, it’ll be a high quality playlist on Qobuz, so anything that you think will sound good in lossless/CD/HQ quality will work! Doesn’t have to only be folk or indie. Just keep it mellow :)
ALso (#2) any language is welcome!

Thanks!

Discussion Sex, Drugs & Social Engineering: The Music Industry Rabbit Hole

Thumbnail
youtube.com
0 Upvotes

This episode goes straight down the rabbit hole. What if the music we think defined generations wasn't simply reflecting American culture—but was helping shape it?

We start in the bright, psychedelic world of 1960s Laurel Canyon: flower children, peace signs, anti-war anthems, LSD, rock stars, and a counterculture that seemed to explode into existence as America experienced enormous political upheaval.

But behind the peace and love were some very strange connections. We look at the military and intelligence backgrounds surrounding figures in the Laurel Canyon scene, the nearby Lookout Mountain Air Force Station, the government's very real experiments with LSD and behavioral modification, MKULTRA, the Manson murders, and the transformation of political rebellion into something that could be packaged, marketed, sold—and eventually feared.

Then we jump forward several decades. The clothes change. The drugs change. The music changes. But does the architecture? From Clive Davis and the enormous power of record-industry gatekeepers to Sean "Diddy" Combs and the Bad Boy era, we examine how a handful of executives and corporations gained extraordinary influence over which artists became superstars, what America listened to, what images were promoted, and ultimately what became "culture."

And that raises a much bigger question: Who decides what becomes popular in the first place? Because this episode isn't really about whether the CIA secretly wrote your favorite song. It's about propaganda, psychology, celebrity, money, drugs, sex, fear, rebellion, ownership, and the strange ability of the entertainment industry to manufacture an image and then convince millions of us that we discovered it ourselves.

Jeffrey Epstein showed us what elite networks can look like when enormous wealth, celebrity, politics, exploitation, and access collide behind closed doors. So what happens when we examine the music industry through the same lens?

From peace and love to hip-hop and Bad Boy, we're following the architecture of influence across generations and asking one uncomfortable question: Are we watching culture happen—or are we watching culture being produced?

Grab your drink. Adjust the antennas. The tin-foil hat is officially back on. 🛸

This video explores documented history, public reporting, allegations, cultural patterns, and my own analysis and opinions. Connections discussed in the episode should not automatically be interpreted as proof of coordination, criminal conduct, intelligence involvement, or a single organized conspiracy. As always, I am not a journalist—I'm a witness paying attention.

Other He made this game reminds me of the old days

He is a nerd and he vibe coded a game, like the game with only text. All what you do is to follow Grateful Dead for their national concert tour. And yes it is based on the Grateful Dead's real Spring 1977 tour — ten actual venues, from the Palladium to Cornell's Barton Hall. I know, he has a lot of valuable memory about GD. During the trip you can trade, you can make money, buy food for your tummy and of course - going to the concerts. It's a game and it's a piece of journey in life. He loved what he created and I am sharing it with love to the Grateful Dead fans or old fashioned game fans, or anyone here! Hope you enjoy the game 🫶

It's a web page game, simple and easy: https://terrapin-trail.com/
