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.

Cheers Todd -- Happy Birthday!! - 😸

RIP Tom. Listened to him a lot growing up. The Pigeons are safe now...

Cheers Antonio -- Feliz Cumpleaños! Happy Birthday, wishing you a great day -

I am not sure why I like this so much, but I had to post it somewhere.

The Space Giants. (Ambassador Magma) - It's no U-FO. Also I don't think I will watch all 52 episodes... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061299/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambassador_Magma

Queue updated.

In keeping with the theme of recent deaths: Mozart: Violin Concertos, Vol. 2 by Francesca Dego (2022) https://album.link/9hmfjqg7gqtbm Example: RIP, last week, Conductor Sir Roger Norrington (91). This had been in my queue since last year, but never made it to the top. Sad that it had to be posthumously. It turns out to be his last recording. He was not really a part of my musical journey. He recorded on labels and conducted works that I was not buying at the time they were being released. I have some recommendations from a classical music friend that I will check out in the future.
