In case you're interested. Wiki: The album was a commercial failure on its original release,[8][9] and despite the duo's subsequent success, it remained without a commercial remaster or digital re-release for over five decades.[10] It was revealed on July 22, 2025, that the album had been remastered and would be released on CD, vinyl, and streaming September 19, 2025.[11] Rhino Records will handle distribution.[12]

Fair warning: Incoming gratuitous cat photos. I've been editing a bunch of shots I took 12-15 years ago. Two friends of mine (who are now married and have son about to turn eight) lived in an apartment in a former mill town. They had two cats. Ozzie was a Russian Blue and exhibited the characteristics of his breed. He was inquisitive, always tuned into what the silly humans were doing, but also very independent. He was not a lap cat. The other kitty was Mauro, who ...a bit heavyset (he was an absolute chonker) and possibly the extreme example of a polydactyl cat I have ever seen. Ozzie's antics were legendary and I took many photos of him "helping" me DJ. These four I posted when I took them in the spring of 2010: Note the first photo being used as the wallpaper in this shot. Ozzie helping me wire up my Korg Z1's MIDI connections. I mentioned in another thread that Kate (one half of the couple mentioned above) had a birthday on the 11th of this month. I had plans (of the "mice and men") variety to send her a bunch of photos from early 2010s on her birthday, but it took me a week to finish editing them. I mean, I'm still editing them, but that's another matter. All of the above were photos I edited and posted around the time they were taken. The following are newly edited. In August of 2010, we (and by "we" I mean "me and I have no idea who else") did a "photo shoot" with Ozzie and some accessories: Ozzie was mostly cooperative (not a guaranteed thing) an held still while we placed smokes, Snapple, a phone and some kibble in front of him. Another shot of Ozzie with wallpaper Ozzie behind him. I used the 50mm DoF separate the actual cat from the photo of him, but still keep the latter recognizable. Ozzie, warming himself on the exhaust fan of a Windows laptop. He's got his paws on a USB battery. Part of the "Where is your god meow?" series I did with Ozzie. Circle cat could use a good brushing, but I wouldn't recommend trying it. Ears back momentarily, for aerodynamics. Mauro being chill, which was his normal state. He was very stead in a windstorm. Tune in next time for pre-civil war bridges!

I went back to 2010 this week. I didn't buy and bitcoin or, ahem, play any classic 8 bit Nintendo games. I did blow the metaphorical and some of the actual dust off my PowerShot S95. (More on that in a minute.) It took me a couple tries to get it going. It took me even longer to figure out how to use the damn thing. The S series of PowerShots (S95 to S110 or so) have dual physical wheels, which is the best. I had to work to remember exposure compensation. I also had to set the time, date and things like picture style. All of this took some futzing. Unfortunately, about 10 years ago during one cold and miserable winter, I got depressed and left the S95 on its back for six months (while running the wood stove). The meant it got some killer sensor grime, which I cannot clean. In broad daylight the dirt is invisible, but indoors the dirt specs are a curse. This is a shame as the S95 has an F/2 lens and works quite well in low light. With that said, I took a stroll through downtown Edgartown and snapped a few street shots. The best second hand store on MV was on this street for decades. Now it's a boutique that sells uber-expensive skin care products. Downtown Edgartown is still bustling with "shoulder season" people. The kids are back in school, so now it's blue haired retirees and buses full of people with name tags. It's a PITA to navigate around them, but TBH I cannot blame them. The weather is perfect here this time of year. The four trees in front of this house are of historical significance. That thing on the other side purports to be a Volkswagen. Looking down toward South Water St. That farthest point is Chappaquiddick. Built in 1703(!), this is one of the oldest buildings on the Vineyard. I quite like it, but the modern signs in front of it are ugly AF. This is the only shot I posted that I don't totally like. For some reason I shot it wide open (F/2) and there's significant smearing in the upper corners. As I mentioned, I'm just getting re-acquainted with the S95 after a decade. Also what's happened in the interceding 10 years is that my vision has deteriorated sufficiently that I can NOT read the controls of the camera without my glasses on. This makes all aspects of photography more complicated. EDG harbor with Chappy in the background. There's not one but two catamarans in this shot. One is the famous Mad Max and the other is even more strange looking, somehow. My mother was friends with a Swiss woman who owned a farm on Chappy. (That is a huge deal. Chappaquiddick isn't that big, and the island itself is eroding. Land on it is very precious.) She was born in 1924 and refused to accept the idea that Mad Max was a real boat. A kid dropped their heart glasses and some kind soul put them on top of a mailbox in case they came back looking for them. This sweet dog was waiting patiently for his mistress. He turned to look at me just for a second before she returned. The S95 is fast enough that I caught him the moment his head turned.

I started posting this in the ambient/IDM thread and quickly realized I was talking about cats, not ambient music. I have mentioned Martin Strutzer to my (sainted, octogenarian) mother a number of times over the years, specially how he does live ambient "jams" while his incredibly well behaved cat sits patiently beside him. She asked me to play a video of him performing, and I found this one on the YouTubes: The cat does its job to a T. I continue to be amazed how cooperative it is. Compare to my attempts to DJ with the "help" of Ozzie the cat some 15 years ago: I never DJ'd around Heidi the cat, but I am positive I know what she'd have done if I did. It would NOT be "sit there patiently and wait to be petted."

I'm not entirely sure what's going on here: $473 in audio plugins for less than $3 with the discount code FUCKUADANDGUITARCENTER because guitar center pissed off Sam Pura.
