Just testing out my new churchwarden pipe...

And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out by Yo La Tengo (2000) https://album.link/rgfjshvn4bxsv Example: Sometimes you just need a little 2000 indie to mellow out your day... Worked well. Also staying away from my phone and taking a walk on the volcano...

RIP Karen. Condolences to you and your family Todd. {{hugs}}

The hits just keep on coming... very sad. RIP Gene.

So, we are warming up the planet to run Large Language Models, and this is what we are doing with it? Oh well....

Cheers Sir Naaman - Happy Birthday 🚁🔊 🦋

And more -- RIP Robert John.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy (1990) https://album.link/tzgcrzhswzq35 Example: Yup - Fight the Power.... my friends.

^Yup - because reasons. First Take by Roberta Flack (1969) https://album.link/fhckknsjpptxq Example: good from the beginning...

Happy Belated Dan - Cheers -

Hurry Up Tomorrow by The Weeknd (2025) https://album.link/pg2q2hhj4snk2 (my link including QOBUZ) Example: I like the vibes of this album and there is a lot of hooks (some directly from Michael Jackson). Is it good, yup. Is it too long, absolutely. I will have to give this another listen, but most likely in chunks. One and a half hours of songs that are very samey in my head, looses my interest a bit. But there are some things that hit hard, just hate to not care anymore when they come.

Latin Kick by Cal Tjader (1956) https://album.link/nfsk2z2xpp9sn Example: mo vibs

Cheers Sir Colin - Happy Birthday's -- Sad to be too far away to gather all the time.

John Field: Complete Nocturnes by Alice Sara Ott (2025) https://album.link/pg4pckdqkhgkf (I created an account - so I will start adding Qubuz to the ones when I post, this does not change the main page, it is a custom page. So I am not sure how long I will do this) Example: A lovely recording by Ott. Had me reading up on Field and his contribution to the Nocturne.

Happy Birthday Steve!! Have a yabba-dabba-doo time A dabba-doo time We'll have a gay old time Cheers --

Finishing up the 20+ hours of song by song analysis of The Wall (52 videos).

A thinly sliced Skillet potato bake. I just have to wait for it to cool down for a bit before diving in.

Cal Tjader Plays, Mary Stallings Sings by Cal Tjader (1961) https://album.link/i/1444024038 Example: Holy Poop. I am not sure why I didn't know that this existed. I get inputs from all over the place, and I just keep adding them to my queue. I work my way through, best as I can, listening. About 1 in 10 are worthy of a post. This is one of the 1 in 10.

2.3lbs of bœuf.. and a red...

A little catch-up. I listened to this last Friday at the whisky gathering. And again right now. Live At The BBC by Marianne Faithfull https://album.link/i/1444089414 Example: Just lovely.. RIP

Cheers Jeff - Happy Birthday -

For some reason I have been really enjoying Dodie tunes. I have not been listening to albums or going down a rabbit hole. They started to show up in my YouTube Feed since the new year, and I just click on them once and a while. And I enjoy them every time. The deceptively simple tunes that get layered with harmonies and ornamentation. Then there are tunes like Hot Mess and Monster that hit harder.

^ I listened to it three times since it was released, and I really like it. Maybe the album cover 'put a spell on me', but enjoyable.
