I could listen to the tone of this instrument all night.

Happy birthday!

A bit of minimalist droney piano stuff. Quite lovely if you like that sort of thing. https://vantzou-harrison-bennett.bandcamp.com/album/christina-vantzou-michael-harrison-and-john-also-bennett

You didn't eat it? A floor would have to be pretty dirty to keep me out of an apple pie.

Happy birthday.

What? Apple rug pulled a useful feature? Shocking.

I can think of worse things than trump dedicating the next year of his life to winning a nobel peace prize. I hope he does, and I hope he deserves it.

More startling still is the distinct lack of undeniable hooks and nailed-on melodies. ...There’s a fantastic chord sequence on Actually Romantic, but, alas, 37 years ago Frank Black wrote a very similar one for Where Is My Mind? by Pixies, a song you can literally sing along to Actually Romantic. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/oct/03/taylor-swift-the-life-of-a-showgirl-review
