I have noticed that people have been checking this page and I appreciate you wanting to get to know me and this blog a little bit better. I have been meaning to write something here but I just wasn’t sure what to say and couldn’t put anything together. I felt bad to have it blank though so I asked the Perplexity AI to write something for me. It took a few follow up prompts to get it right but I think it came out well and it is really spot on.
About Sensory Dispensary
Hey there! I’m Scott (he/him), and welcome to Sensory Dispensary, a blog born from my love of music, storytelling, and the little sensory moments that make life magical. Whether you’re here to dive into my Random Song of the Day (RSOTD), geek out about iconic concert films, or find thoughtful musings on the songs, sounds, and sights that move us, I’m thrilled to have you along for the ride.
A little about me…
I’ve been a lifelong fan of music—obsessively curating playlists, revisiting classic albums, and finding joy in those random tunes that pop up and transport you to a specific time or memory. I’m also endlessly curious about the sensory world we live in—how sight, sound, and even nostalgia come together to create moments that stick with us. This blog is my way of sharing that passion (and maybe nerding out a little) with you.
What is Sensory Dispensary all about?
At its heart, Sensory Dispensary is a place to celebrate and explore the things that ignite our senses. Most days, the blog revolves around music—the stories behind songs, live performances, and personal reflections on the tunes that have shaped my life. You’ll find features like:
- Random Song of the Day (RSOTD): My daily picks that range from timeless classics to hidden gems, often sprinkled with random facts, memories, or musings.
- Concert Films & Live Music Moments: Whether it’s Pink Floyd at Pompeii or live gems from Springsteen, this is where I highlight the recordings that have changed the way we experience music.
- Personal Observations & Fun Tangents: I’m not afraid to go on a nostalgic ramble or dive into quirky moments that stick with me—and hopefully resonate with you, too.
In between the music stories, you might find some reflections on sensory living: how we experience the world through sight, sound, and touch (and yes, smells always sneak into the chat). It’s all part of my mission to notice and savor the little things—and share what I find with you.
Why Sensory Dispensary?
Because I love the idea of “dispensing” bits of sensory magic to others. Life often feels like a mix tape: some songs hit just right, some moments stick forever, and some are just plain weird. This blog is my effort to curate that mix tape and hand it over to you, one post at a time.
Here’s the deal: Whether you’re here for music nostalgia, random sensory tidbits, or a good old-fashioned ramble, I hope this blog feels like a conversation with a friend who’s just as excited about guitars solos, ambient sounds, and wonderful food and kitchen scents as you are. Pull up a chair, stay a while.
Got a favorite song, story, or sensory moment you want to share? Drop me a line—I’d love to hear about it! Until then, let’s keep finding the magic in the simple, sensory stuff that makes life sing. 🎶
