I first came across the band via the youtube music playlist “Jazz for Hip Hop Heads” or something similar. Since then, it’s been one of my go-to bands for smiles and a good mood.

Music: Cari Cari
A couple of years ago, the song “Summer Sun” by Austrian Duo “Cari Cari” (Youtube-link) popped up in my Spotify playlist, and it became my go-to good morning song for quite a while.
I don’t use Spotify anymore, so I have to look actively for new music. This explains why it took me until now to discover another great song by the duo that will likely be my good morning song for the next few weeks. Listen to “Zdarlight 1992” if you like a groovy baseline.
They also have a great Beastie Boys – Sabotage cover version.

Happy, not perfect.

A lesson I’m still trying to internalize.
PC Game: Storyteller
I saw this game for the first time on Friday and loved it immediately.
You’re given a story prompt and have to tell that story using a prepared set of characters, props, and scenes.
It’s a puzzle game using comic panels and storytelling.
I should say that it’s very short, maybe 2h of playtime.
I think a video explains it much better, so here’s a youtube link to a short review.
