Pure Sky feat. Tek lintowe (@teklintowe): Music’s most beguiling question mark. The gift that keeps on giving, Tek’s art forces us to grapple with whether we’ve got it all wrong — life, love, the entire trajectory of human civilization up to this very instant. Instead of our usual 1hr30 playlist, Tek decided to make a 5 minute mix out of 16 songs, anime snippets, and rare finds from the Nancy Drew soundtrack. It’s perfect, naturally. Read on for our Q&A and click here to listen to Tek’s mix.
What should people do while listening to this mix?
Plank position until you fall.
Can you write us a poem?
Creepily crawling
Spiders!
Oh spiders,
Will you come out to play?
No one likes you
You're gross
And you bite
Spiders...
Last thing you found online that brought you joy:
Echoes on the Hem by Tujiko Noriko. I went to play an album by her because I’m a fan of her music and saw it on her Spotify page. It was a surprise. It’s a really pretty song and very long but I like it for that. I don’t think anyone else can make music like that.
Do you use AI? What do you talk to it about?
I've asked AI something once or twice. I can’t remember what it was.
If you could have the answer to any question, what would it be?
How they made the Seven Wonders of the World…
If the people in charge could see the world through Tek lintowe’s mind’s eye, what would change?
I don’t want anyone having my mind except me, alright? I don’t need anyones mind either.
Alright, got you. How about this: You’re in charge. Of everything. What would you change first?
Everyone Is Happy And Lives Forever And We Respawn With Grenade Launchers And We Can Fly And Teleport Theres No Violence We Are Healthy No Matter How Much You Eat Or Smoke And You Don’t Need To Sleep Anymore Everyone Can Change Into Any Animal They Want Any Time And Make Buildings With Their Mind And When You Get Hurt It Doesn’t Hurt You Can Go To The Future And The Past It Would Get Me Killed By The Government But It Doesn’t Matter Because Now I Live Forever And I Can Go To The Past When I Wasn’t Dead And Kill Those Motherfuckers Myself Because Now Im The Leader Then Everyone Would Get Their Own Personal Power Say If You Want Telekinesis Or Strength Then You Have It You Don’t Have To Have Passwords Anymore Because Everyone Is Good And Everyone Gets Their Favorite Clothes (Change The Weather)
What’s tiring you out these days? What’s keeping you going?
My joints started to pop and crack when I moved because I was staying up for days at a time and other stuff.
One day, I sat and thought about how it wasn’t working. After eating a giant quesadilla. I got it together because I felt like an old man. I started my new routine and went to get a Thai massage and they sprained my pelvis and I couldn’t walk the next day. The pain is exiting and ending soon.
Can you tell us a little more about your addiction to Dance Dance Revolution?
I play every other day. I started a little over a year ago. I wouldn’t call it an addiction. I can usually do level 15s, but I haven’t seemed to improve for a few months. I’d have to learn to play smarter. So I switched to "double play." I like it more right now because it’s more complicated and a new challenge. I think it’s the best game of all time.
What’s the vision with Boardshorts?
Us 3 got a job at the same bakery and we started whistling songs to pass the time.
