dsfadsfgafgf - decades of drone - Fri 12 Feb 2021
Ever since I discovered Dronezone two decades ago (shit!). If my
computers turned on & I have internet, Dronezone is on.
Many streaming radio services have come & gone in the mean time but
Dronezone drones on. It was droning before one ever flew in the sky.
It was droning before "P.S. I am Wanking as I write this" (paraphrased)
and Glasscock became B3ta memes.
My .zshrc hasn't changed much in that time either.

It's SOMAFM heavy when it comes to radio to say the least.
My sxhkdrc is similarly full of shortcuts that just open terminal windows
that play music. 9 times out of ten it's Dronezone.
When you've been listening to these soundscapes for a long time it's quite
hard to be impressed by any of it. It's just gentle background noise.
Music for Airports, music for escalators, sound for the sake of sound.
However, every now and then something arrests your attention.
Here's something that got my attention the other day and it's brilliant.

It got my attention in a "press pause, copy name, look them up kinda way" and I did.
And for an extra bonus (extra as in "more of") Dronezone also brought this to my
attention. It's kinda like SWEET EXORCIST - CLONK! but it's not, it's Gold Panda
