IF IT DOESN’T SUCK, I’M NOT POSTING IT

Cover page of an 11-page booklet with facing pages. On the left it says "2022 Sage-ify Unwrapped" in stretched Arial Narrow font. To the left, there are 3 double stars, one underneath each other. They say (from top to bottom) "So Great!", "So Cool!" and, "Fuck Yeah!".

Pages 1 and 2 of the booklet. Page 1 has a double star with the text "Table Of Contents" that has been streched and compressed to the point of almost being unreadable. Page 2 has the table of contents with the following sections named: Background But Why? Where I Messed Up / The Year Before Changes Made For The Year Fave Albums Top Songs Top Artists

Pages 3 and 4 of the booklet. Page 3, "Backgrounds", has the following text: Starting in 2021, Affer I canceled my Spotify Premium account, I realized I was through with subscription services. And as a result, I decided I wasn't going to use the platiform anymore. However, / sill wanted to know more about my listening habits. I also just think a itle write up at the end of the year telling you what you obsessed over and how much of a cringe lord you are is so fun! Why not find out for the 3% year in a row you have a cripoling addiction to Tame Impala, or shitty 2000s music? Underneath, there is a picture of Steven Rhodes' "Just Say No To Sports" piece that has been edited to say "Just Say No To Subscriptions" Page 4, "But Why?", has the following text: I hear you! 'But Sage, putting together an archive? Taking allof hose screenshots? Sounds like a lol"And you'd be right But the reason why comes down to the fact that lim a curious individual. And lid also hate to be the only one in the friend group with nothing to show come December (or in this case, January. Why did I quit Spotily? Well besides what I mentioned before, / had learned very quickly over the pandemic that the amount of same songs I listen to is quite high. Why would continue paying $5 a month just to listen to the same 200 songs over and over again? It didn't make financial sense. Underneath, there is a stock photo of a clown wearing headphones, with the caption "IRL photo of me listening to "Endors Toi" for the 12345656789TH time this year" underneath.

Pages 5 and 6 of the booklet. Page 5, "Where I Messed Up/ About The Year Before", has the following text: Unfortunately, Ihave to say that the year before was a little rough. Piles upon piles of screenshots had accumulated, and I wasn't able to keep up. Then, when I went to ask for help, I completely fumbled the uploading process, rendering the entire catalog useless due to its presumably high inaccuracy. Because of this, I would argue last year was more of a.. trial run, so to speak. lat least was building up a habit of screenshot-ling everything I listened to. All that was needed now, was to build up a habit of updating my catalog. Also, one of the ways I messed up, was not having clearly defined boundaries regarding what constitued a screenshot. Sometimes I found myself creating new rules in the middle of the year so I wouldn't have to screenshot certain songs... it was a mess to say the least. Underneath, there is the "I have failed you" meme from Dexter's Laboratory, with the picture being replaced with "2021 Sage-ify Unwrapped" Page 6, "Changes Made For The Year", has the following text: This is why this year, I made it a point to write out what I would and would not screenshot. Though, I did find other loopholes to get out of having to screenshot songs I was maybe too embarrassed to have on my catalog, or admit that liked as much as I did. In 2023, 'm definitely going to be trying to address those loopholes to perhaps make it less likely that I'll circumvent anything. I also addressed the cataloging issue, by attempling to update it at least once a week. As well as making a Spooffy playlist at the end of the month that I shared with friends for accountability. Below is a table showing what I did/did not screenshot this year. The table below is in 2 columns, the 1st one says "Did Screenshot" and has the following underneath: Personal archive on my phone (VLC) Streaming services (Pandora, Jango, ETC.) Bandcamp The second column says "Did Not Screenshot" and has the following: YouTube Videos Radio (Heard IRL or on phone) Music heard While Cleaning Music Heard IRL on any device that was not mine Music heard on my computer Music heard in Files app

Pages 7 and 8 of the booklet. Page 7, "Fave Albums", has the a disclaimer underneath that says "Not based on statistics. Just simply some recommendations" All albums listed have their respective album cover placed at an angle next to their text. The first album is Communicant - Sun Goes Out, and has the following description: What an album! This is my first time listening to Communicant, and they do not disappoint. This album has absolutely no skips, and is a great neo-psych album that at times really feels like it's straight from the 60s. FAVE SONGS: "Prisoner Cloud" / "Sun Goes Out" / "Sleepwalker" / "Fang" LEAST FAVE SONG: "Feel Like l'm Dying The second album is Jane Inc - Faster Than I Can Take, and has the following description: Another wonderful artist I discovered this year. I picked this album over her debut "Number One." because this one takes everything that "Number One" had to offer, and makes it 10x better. A solid pop record all around with themes of existentialism and living in the digital age. FAVE SONGS: "Human Being" / "Dancing With You" / "An Ordinary Thing" / "2120" / "Contortionists LEAST FAVE SONG: "Every Rip" The third album is Melody's Echo Chamber - Unfold, and has the following description: Though it sorta drops in quality after "Unfold", "Unfold" (the album) is still an awesome listen. All my faves listed below are just so wonderful and have defintely altered my brain chemistry in such a satisfying and well recieved way. This is for sure the gold standard I'll be holding other neo-psych albums to. And it's amazing, considering the other albums she released this year was quite mid. FAVE SONGS: "Norfolk Hotel" / "Ocean Road" / "Pêcheuse de Lune" LEAST FAVE SONGS: "The Cure" / "Pieces Of Sound" Page 8, "Top Songs", has 5 album covers with their song titles right next to them, they are arranged in order, and listed below: 1. Communicant - Prisoner Cloud 2. Tame Impala - Endors Toi 3. Melody's Echo Chamber - Norfolk Hotel 4. Daft Punk - Crescendolls 5. Tame Impala - Is It True

Pages 9 and 10 of the booklet. Page 9, "Top Artists", has 5 pictures of the following artists with their names right next to them, they are arranged in order, and listed below: 1. Tame Impala 2. Washed Out 3. Daft Punk 4. Jane Inc 5. Melody's Echo Chamber Page 10, is a blank page
