Another Tiny Desk this week - lovely.

whatevs...

Just a bit of nerd fun.

Yeah, I was just going to mention, I remember all the stories from Steve Hoffman about having to cook the tapes so they could at least be run through the player. Movies also have all their own issues.

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace by John Williams (1999) https://album.link/h4zfvgpn2qsmk Example: Movie Sucks: John Williams does not suck. I have the soundtracks to the original trilogy, but was not thrilled with the pre-post movies, so I never picked them up. Recently organist, Anna Lapwood, added Example to her shows, inspiring this listen. There are a few lovely themes, and snippets of themes you love sprinkled throughout. I don't know if this means I need to listen to 7 more soundtracks or not, but I enjoyed this one.

^^ Hmmm. Gotta start measuring in Breakfast cups now.. 🤷‍♂️

The President is outraged at multiple Democratic lawmakers for reminding members of the military of their constitutional oaths and responsibilities. Dan points out that individual agency among soldiers is a societal firewall protecting all of us.

Cheers and Happy Birthday -

Dvorák: Symphony No. 9 in E Minor, Op. 95 "From the New World" by Leonard Bernstein (1962) https://open.qobuz.com/album/5099706056324 Example: Poking around at some versions. (no, not a full survey). I really like the lyricism of Lenny's interpretation, I am in favor of the power of the Karajan recording above. Originally a CBS Masterworks recording, Sony turned up the volume and released when acquired.

nice... If not ready for Christmas, there is new years, MLK day, President's day, Juneteenth, Talk Like a Pirate Day, next thanksgiving.... etc. (fuck you matt)

Cheers HC team - happy birthdays -

Take Ten by Paul Desmond (1963) https://album.link/t5m4fcv3fkmcw Example: What do you after Take Five? Take Ten, of course. Lovely set of tracks - with Gene Cherico, Connie Kay, and Jim Hall on the team. Album was not on my radar until now.

^^ Very cool - I have had this on the top of my queue for about a week and I have listened to it a couple of times. A Walk Across the Rooftops by The Blue Nile (1984) https://open.qobuz.com/album/hzszuzspagdab Example: An Amazing sounding Album. Some backstory if one does not know. Linn (Scottish Electronics fame) was wanting to test out their new recording console, and brought in The Blue Nile for their first release. (LKH 1) - they did well.

job your love, y'all

Happy autumn everybody...

Non Fiction - Piano Concerto in Four Movements by Hania Rani (2025) https://open.qobuz.com/album/xnmzga8qy8r2a Not an Example - but a mini doc: Released Yesterday. A pretty serious work. It will be interesting to see how this settles for my in the future.

cheers Dinny. happy birthday
