Welcome to the SURFMAN.co Updates post for March 2026.

Brain Storming:

2026-03-27-FRI-04:51-CST – GROKIPEDIA CHECK LIST – I was just browsing some of my txt notes and came across this one (0_-_GROKIPEDIA_TOPICS_001_CHECKLIST), and it appears to be a full list of over 19K topics I’ve collected from Grokipedia.com. Question to myself: Was I using this for some content curation project, or did I just leave it left open in Notepad for no reason?

Exportify:

2026-03-27-FRI-23:10-CST – DISCOVERED EXPORTIFY – Tonight I was interested to find out if there was a way to export a list of song tracks in a Spotify playlist. I searched Google for how to get a text list of songs in a spotify playlist. After checking out a few links in the search results, I decided to try out Exportify.net. Exportify allows you to export a playlist to a csv file. The csv file will contain information such as Artist Names, Track Name, Album Name, Release Date, Genre, and even record labels, plus a lot of other information. Once you have a csv file, you can move the columns of information around in the order you want, then highlight the columns of information you want in your text list, then copy and paste into a text editor such as Windows Notepad. From there you can do any additional editing to your list as needed. I’m really happy to find Exportify, and I will be looking for large playlists on Spotify so that I can create music lists for the Surf Man Website Directory.

2026-03-26-SUN-23:46-CST – LOTS OF SHOPPING CURRENTLY – I really don’t want to (yes I do lol – but no I don’t – whatever), but I have a lot of shopping going on currently. As I’m sure I mentioned somewhere, I recently moved, and there are things I both need and want. I have ideas for how I want my apartment to look over the course of the new lease I’m about to sign, and therefore I need to buy some things. I recently bought a new round area rug for my round dining table and chairs in the kitchen, a wreath and doormat for the front door, and I’ve started having some groceries delivered. Yesterday I ordered a new 18 foot runner rug for the hallway. Today I ordered two tablecloths for my kitchen table, and two clippers and trimmer sets. I’ve been shaving with a dog hair trimmer lol. Don’t judge me. It works.

Music Collection CD:

2026-03-14-SAT-19:39-CST – I NEED NEW CDS – Ok I don’t really need new cds, but I want some. Tonight I got on a Greatest Hits CD binge. I want to start collecting Greatest Hits cds from favorite music artists that I don’t currently own. I went to Amazon and browsed around a bit. I’ve got 3 I’m looking at to order soon maybe. These selections are (don’t judge me lol – I don’t care if you do anyway) Jo Dee Messina Greatest Hits, Michael Jackson Number Ones, and Culture Club Greatest Hits. What got me into wanting to collect these greatest hits cds is that Jo Dee Messina has a new song out called Some Bridges, and I really love the song. I am making it my theme song for 2026. I think it sends a very powerful message that sometimes it’s ok to burn bridges. I also love her older music, and so I thought I would go on Amazon to see if she had a greatest hits cd, and I saw that she did. Then I started browsing around for other greatest hits cds, and you know how things go from there. I’m going to try and use my brain though before I go spending bundles of cash on these. I have a premium Spotify account. So I’m going to listen to whatever cd I’m considering to buy on Spotify first to make sure I want it. Also I’m aiming at only buying cds that come with the free AutoRip MP3 files that Amazon offers with select albums.

Music Talk:

2026-03-28-SAT-22:17-CST – GIANT LIST OF MUSIC GENRES THAT DEFINE MY MUSIC INTERESTS – Here is a crazy huge list of music genres that define my overall interest in listening to music. If someone had told me at any point in my life that I would some day compile a huge list of all the different music genres I could gather that define my music interests, I probably wouldn’t believe them. I also don’t think I would ever fathom that so many music genres exist as are listed. Here we have it though, the list of music genres that all in some way have some influence in the music I like to listen to since childhood. There are many genres I’ve never heard of before gathering this list, and I couldn’t tell you about the origins or inventions of them, but I know from gathering these listings that they all represent sounds heard in the songs I love to listen to. So I guess you can say that I have a very eclectic taste in music. These music genres were pulled from my list of Liked Tracks on Spotify using Exportify, and edited in Windows Notepad, and put in alphabetical order using Text Fixer. There are 361 genres listed here: 3 step, acid house, acid jazz, acid techno, acoustic country, acoustic pop, adult standards, afro house, afro tech, alternative dance, amapiano, ambient, americana, anime, aor, arena rock, art pop, art rock, avant-garde, bacardi, bachata, ballroom vogue, baltimore club, bass house, bass music, bassline, bhangra, big beat, big room, bisrock, black metal, blues, bongo flava, boogie, boogie-woogie, boom bap, bossa nova, bounce, brazilian bass, brazilian jazz, brazilian phonk, breakbeat, breakcore, britpop, budots, calypso, ccm, celtic, celtic rock, chamber music, chanson, chanson québécoise, chicago house, chillstep, chillwave, choral, christian, christian edm, christian folk, christian reggae, christmas, city pop, classic country, classic rock, classic soul, classical, classical crossover, classical piano, cold wave, comedy, contemporary r&b, cool jazz, country, country christian, country hip hop, country rock, crunk, dancehall, dansk rap, dark ambient, darkwave, death metal, deathstep, deep house, desi hip hop, disco, disco house, disco polo, doo-wop, downtempo, dream pop, drift phonk, drone, drum and bass, drumstep, dub, dub techno, dubstep, early music, east coast hip hop, ebm, edm, edm trap, edmfuture house, electro, electro house, electro swing, electroacoustic, electroclash, electronic, electronic classical, electronica, eurodance, europop, exotica, experimental, experimental hip hop, finnish pop, finnish rock, folk, folk metal, footwork, freestyle, french house, french rap, frenchcore, funk, funk bruxaria, funk melody, funk rock, funkot, funky house, future bass, future house, g-funk, g-house, gabber, gangster rap, german hip hop, german indie pop, glam metal, glam rock, glitch, gothic metal, gothic rock, gqom, gregorian chant, grime, grunge, happy hardcore, hard bop, hard house, hard rock, hard techno, hardcore, hardcore hip hop, hardcore techno, hardstyle, heavy metal, hi-nrg, hindi hip hop, hip hop, hip house, hiplife, hollands, honky tonk, horrorcore, house, hymns, hyperpop, idm, impressionism, indie dance, indie folk, indie jazz, indie soul, indonesian rock, indorock, industrial, industrial metal, industrial rock, iskelmä, italo dance, italo disco, j-dance, j-rap, jangle pop, japanese classical, jazz house, jazz rap, jungle, k-ballad, kizomba, kompa, krautrock, kuduro, latin, latin hip hop, latin house, latin jazz, latin pop, liquid funk, lounge, lovers rock, Madchester, madchester, malay, mandopop, medieval, medieval metal, melbourne bounce, melodic bass, melodic death metal, melodic house, melodic techno, metal, metalcore, mexican hip hop, miami bass, minimal techno, minimalism, mizrahi, moombahton, motown, motownsoul, musicals, musique concrète, native american music, nederpop, neo soul, neofolk, new age, new jack swing, new rave, new wave, noise rock, northern soul, norwegian hip hop, norwegian pop, nu disco, nu metal, old school hip hop, opera, opm, organic house, outlaw country, oyun havası, p-pop, philly soul, phonk, pinoy alternative, pinoy indie, pinoy r&b, pinoy rock, polka, pop, pop country, post-disco, post-grunge, post-hardcore, post-rock, power metal, power pop, private school piano, progressive house, progressive metal, progressive rock, progressive trance, psytrance, punjabi pop, quiet storm, r&b, rage rap, ragga, ragtime, rally house, rap, rap metal, rap rock, rapdisco house, reggae, reggae rock, renaissance, retro soul, riddim, rock, rock and roll, rockabilly, rocksteady, roots reggae, russelåter, schlager, score, screamo, sea shanties, sertanejo, sertanejo universitário, shibuya-kei, shoegaze, singeli, slap house, slowcore, smooth jazz, soca, soft pop, soft rock, soul, soul blues, soul jazz, soundtrack, southern gospel, southern hip hop, space music, space rock, speedcore, spoken word, stoner metal, stoner rock, stutter house, swedish pop, swing music, symphonic metal, synthpop, synthwave, tamil dance, tamil pop, tango, tech house, techengue, techno, tekno, telugu pop, thai rock, thrash metal, tollywood, traditional country, trance, trancebig room, trancehard house, trancenew age, tribal house, trip hop, tropical house, turkish hip hop, turkish pop, uk drill, uk funky, uk garage, uk grime, uk r&b, underground hip hop, v-pop, variété française, vietnamese bolero, villancicos, vinahouse, vocal jazz, west coast hip hop, yacht rock, zouk, and zydeco.

Site Updates:

2026-03-14-SAT-18:49-CST – KICKING OFF UPDATES AT SURF MAN – Damn I’m slow to get things started sometimes lol. Actually I’ve just been really busy working on all kinds of things, and I just forgot to start updating this website. Well this evening I figured now is as good a time as any to put the pedal to the floor and get the wheels rolling on turning this website into the platform it’s intended for. So here we go.

Thanks for using SURFMAN.co!

Below is a look at some other content that may interest you (under construction at the moment).

Lemmy:

Lemmy is an open-source, self-hostable link aggregation and discussion platform, similar to Reddit or Hacker News, but operating on a decentralized network called the Fediverse. Users can subscribe to “communities” (similar to subreddits) on different servers, or “instances,” and interact with users and communities across the entire network using the ActivityPub protocol. This decentralized model offers alternatives to centralized social media by promoting user control, data ownership, and community autonomy.

I recently discovered Lemmy, and although I haven’t signed up for an account there yet, I have been checking in on some of the discussions that seemed interesting enough to follow, or that may offer some useful resources. Below is a list of some of the topics I check in on from time to time.
