Made in Japan (Steven Wilson Remix) by Deep Purple (1972/2025) https://album.link/0b4crwz0vbhdt Thanks to Steven for making this album come 'alive'. And it is worthy of the remix. Rock on.

In the mean time. https://archive.org/details/the-nvidia-ai-gpu-black-market-investigating-smuggling-corruption-governments

^^ Bummer. I am not sure where Bloomberg comes into play. I guess I should have backed the project to get a physical copy to share. Anyway, The basics are that there is a thriving black market for the AI GPUs in China, and none of it is illegal there. And they explored both the direct smuggling of CPU's into China, and the crazy manufacturing of Non-SKU cards for use using defect cards. I am sure that they will fight this and it could be reposted. With all that, it was a bit long, I think they could have gotten it down to about 2 hours with some proper editing.

Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway by Roberta Flack (1972) https://album.link/ksm7qv8qvcfv0 Example: Holy poop!! What a great album.

New Doc just dropped - I am busy for the next 4 hours.

Well not eating now, But I better get in line now.

Looks like they need Milo & Otis to make new amp stands, but the amps are sure shinny.

West of Broadway by Rachael & Vilray (2025) https://album.link/vq8hxmdwzwfb7 Happy to see a new Rachel & Vilray. I dig that they are writing these 50s style jazz tunes today. Great duets.

done and done... 🚲

Flux by Alison Goldfrapp (2025) https://album.link/smrhsjppkm4kz Example: Much needed goodness...

3.5 hours of GPU things.

{not meant as an attack}

One use of three Pioneer R2Rs. More performance art, but still fun.

Human Universe by Hayato Sumino (2024) https://album.link/zbtbf0kvjxt5q Example: Good debut on Sony. A mix of Originals and Classical works, example is original. He only has a couple of major works under his belt so far. Known on the internet for his version of the Cadenza in Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody #2.

Simple morning bake, wheat and oat flour. {just needed some bread}

Roger Waters: This Is Not A Drill by Roger Waters (2025) https://album.link/nkjdhgpg5zswt Example: I assume that the visuals were a lot more political than the music. It sounds really good, and I liked some of the reworkings of some tunes.

This came up in my IG feed the other day. Thought it was awesome. and reminded me of this.

Tarzan by Various Artists (1999) https://album.link/89gxj8dmg0md6 Example: This soundtrack has no right to be this good for a mediocre Disney movie. Phil and Mark went hard on this one.

Piano Concerto No.9 In Eb Major, KV 271 - Piano Concerto No.27 in Bb Major, KV 595 by Nicola Frisardi (1995) https://album.link/bzr0znrvcphj6 Example: Checking out the Chesky releases. This has great sonics of course, and the performance is good. More romantic interpretation that I was expecting. And there is a flaw at the beginning of the third track, which is a bummer, so one blemish on an otherwise great release. I checked three different sources and it is all the same. (Edit - and I do wish it was high res)

Looking Ahead by Ken McIntyre (1960) https://album.link/fdwvwcdwftnxp Example: New issue, originally RVG recording. Some of the hard left/right panning is hard for headphones, but works okay for speakers. And just overall lovely tunes.
