I will listen to that one, Dusty. I find this one amazing: It's a pity this video is such poor quality

Her version of Mussorgsky's Pictures just might be my favourite rendition yet. https://www.deutschegrammophon.com/en/catalogue/products/alice-sara-ott-pictures-1323

the inductance is going to be really low in any case.

His Mid-80s run are still some of my favorite movies. RIP William.

Not sure if this is the best cover ever, or the worst.

Uhm, yeah, again today, because they came and told me they had fresh Halibut.

I'm launching a new company and this is our first product. Here's the announcement:

Linus Sebastian is an annoying squeaker, but he gets to play with some fancy toys.

i read about Renaud this morning, and that sucks. 😡 RIP William Hurt. Age 71 seems a bit young to die of natural causes these days. ☹️ https://variety.com/2022/film/news/william-hurt-dead-kiss-of-the-spider-woman-1235203576/

RIP Brent Renaud, the first US journalist killed Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The good news: I found my DJ mixer. I had indeed put it in its original 2005 shipping box, which is what a Smart Knuckles does. The bad news: I think my shiny new MOTU M4 is borked. I cannot get sound out of channels 1-2 no matter what I do. The device is class compliant (does not require drivers) and it worked (or rather "worked") out of the box. I got Traktor to recognize it, though it showed up in the device list as "Audio Out." I assiged the two decks to outputs 1-2 and 3-4 respectively. The appropriate volume bars on the M4's display lit up when I play back a track on either deck. Channels 3-4 worked just fine. No amount of swapping cables and inputs on the DJ mixer could elicit any sound from 1-2. I then installed the M4's Mac drivers (certified to work with Monterey) and enabled the extension (everything is disabled by defualt in newer versions of MacOS.) That caused the M4 to show up in the device list under its own name, but it didn't fix the lack of sound output on the first two channels. I've powerecycled everything (including the DJ mixer) but nothing has worked. I might try the M4 on a different machine, but I STRONGLY suspect my M4 is faulty So, uh, no show next week I think.

Yep. Gary Glitter follows Jimmy Savile in infamy. So many children hurt, and way too long for this to come to light.

Awkward listening this morning. Continuing the choices by cover hit The Ultimate Gary Glitters. I knew Rock & Roll (Part 2), but little else on it (which is pretty bad). Have ton of holes in my musical history, but wondered why he had multiple greatest hits collections so jumped on Wikipedia. Man, that's a downfall and an awful lot of people hurt.

I made a discovery today: I have no idea as to the location of my DJ mixer. I moved it off my desk some time in the 6+ month period I’ve been off the air and I haven’t the foggiest where I stashed it. It’s large, fragile and expensive so I know I put it some place safe. I have no idea where that is. I do have an even older backup unit, which I am probably going to press into service at least for test purposes. I don’t relish using it for anything beyond that.

Happy birthday, bitch! You should come kill floors with us sometime; we only play HoE now. You'll love it; we'll carry you.

Ukrainian children’s hospital completely wiped out by Russian bombing.

Well, friendos - me and my gf bought 75 liter hiking backpacks so we can bug out if needed. Also bought enough water and food to last us for 3 days on the run. It's relatively peaceful here in NATO's embrace, but shit can get real pretty fast. Most doomsday supplies are sold out.
