I've missed this thread until now, but been a fan of The Charismatic Voice for a while. I enjoyed this episode a lot. In a similar vein, I go on bents of Drumeo's "For the first time" series, which can be pretty analytic depending the drummer.

Not sure if this is widely known, but I only found out about it today on The Norman Bates Memorial Soundtrack Show. Seems the first three Space: 1999 episodes were stitched together and released theatrically in Italy. And they got Ennio Morricone to do the soundtrack! It's very different than Barry Gray's. Import CD purchased, below is a sample, and the whole thing is streaming on some Hungarian site. Fun! Ex. (put on your seat belts)

Not great, but Barry Manilow charting in 2026 wasn’t on my bingo card, so adding here. No critical endorsement implied.

His milkshake brings all the Hutts to the yard...

Such fun!

That's some good click bait.

I'm sorry -- what?

^^ in my queue, looking forward to it. The Magnificent Moodies by The Moody Blues (1965) https://open.qobuz.com/album/urxbgzj4qgepc Example:

Woah - how did I miss this? Very happy belated Nate!

I like the new Gorillaz album. Qobuz link Feeling this one tonight.

As it was mentioned a bit back, just letting everyone know the Nodus Obscura (Sunny 16) is back. Course the Sunny 16 Rule is designed to be easy to remember. I just never can. https://www.noduswatches.com/obscura

Jazz in the Movies: Chet Baker Performing (which he only does on seven of the 18 tracks). This Italian release is under various titles and various track listings, so whatever you find, may or may not be the same album, but this version is a good listen as you wind down the work week (yes, I'm mentally winding down at 9am). Also not to be confused with the Jazz on Film: Italian series, which is much more comprehensive and I probably need to buy next. Ex. EDIT: Just bought.

You need a turkey crossing sign. Maybe. It's not like they're in your way or anything, so maybe not.

From All Sides by Vince Guaraldi (1964) https://open.qobuz.com/album/v8c45tsbx2ekb Example: Ah Bola.. Not super fidelity on this album, but a very nice listen.

Cable Managed / Mangled "Streamer Edition", with passing turkeys. 🦃 🦃 🦃

I do like me a go fast story...

After my Niche Zero grinder started having issues with lighter espresso beans I reached out to Niche. They first recommended a cleaning...same same. Then, when they realized I've had mine for 6 years and it was obtained via their Indegogo campaign, they recommended I purchase a new motor and board. $41 for the parts, $40 shipping from the UK, and duties $21... Duties were charged on shipping...LOL. All buttoned back up and working like a champ. I ordered a Zerno Z2 grinder, but it'll be a loooong while before it shows up. HS

New single from Dea Matrona - Hate That I Care:

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Comrade!

Some sourdough za and a glass of red.

One of the better guitar riffs of the last 20 years.
