Not sure if this reminds me of a meme, or just a dancer coming in sideways, but damn, that’s some confidence. Speaking of dancing, here’s some “sky dancing”.

No, but I dreamt of unicorns, so who knows if these memories are real?

Cleaned my apartment. Found all sorts of shit. a Metro card with about $30 on it (and a picture of some great cats of some variety or another, the real reason I missed it) my Rotring my prescription sunglasses a shoe — just the one, don’t know where its mate is a notice that my car is paid off...since July or August or so a tin full of picks a library card A bunch of tins of mints a flattened, sealed bag of chips a couple different earplugs A strat body enough Allegra-D to start my own meth lab A special case (Xmas) of Maestro Dobel Diamante (that’s tequila, right?) an almost smooshed carton of almond milk ... Anyway, you get the idea.

Happy birthday, Dan! (party favour noise)

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

Wasn't in the mood, needed something slightly more 'me' and energetci, so went back to my Notwist/13&God playlist (every time I hear 13&God, I think of the time I was on tt.fm with two of the guys from Themselves, which is the other half of 13 & God).

No, I’m good, but thanks for the very generous offer and more importantly the very useful information. You’re right, I’m not familiar with Apples / Macs, but I am familiar with Google, and...it’s kind of bizarre—I found a couple different ways to adjust the sound level, but none of them worked. There must be something weird about the driver for the HRT device that prevents it. I ended up buying the software—it was more expensive than a latte, but not much. It works fine. There is an occasional jump in volume, but that’s relatively minor. It otherwise does exactly what I want—including cool things like play my music at one volume, but videos almost mute.

Lady Gaga I was in El Rico Pollo and I was enjoying what was playing, so my friend Googled it ("OK Google, what is playing right now?"). Don't know which album, so far the two I've listened to are fairly generic, yet perfectly pleasant. The one I heard was more Garbage-y. Going to stop and listen to Traeben to clear my palette...er...palate. Those are homonyms, aren't they?

Watching/listening to this yet again, because I'm in a Calexico kind of mood:

Listening/watching Calexico play with an orchestra -- here is the whole playlist -- the preview shows the first song, but I'm currently on "Fortune Teller" which is jaw-droopingly beautiful:

I don’t know why I thought Royksopp was Avalanches. Oh, and: it took Shazam 4 tries before it could correctly identify this track: Previous attempts include: Days After Days (Syzthaime 2 Dayz Remix) - David R. For You (Original Mix) - Roald Velden Spherical Being - Sidwave

Pink and purr pull...

Happy! Best show ever So fucked up Violence and gore and drugs and sex and an animated children’s show character imaginary friend (voiced by Patton Oswalt) and some brilliant writing EDIT: oooooooh, it's based on a Grant Morrison graphic novel, now everything makes sense.

Because people who join for the express purpose of copying and pasting a post from another site are trouble, in our experience.

I don’t think any of us are familiar with those. Etymotics are the go-to brand in that price range (assuming they even have anything in that price range). But you should upgrade: JH13.

He’s one of my heroes, so I don’t have a favourite. Incantations is probably one of my most frequently revisited. Also Killing Fields , Five Miles Out, and QE2.

Chinese take-out for Chinese Take-Out Day (leftovers at this point -- had some chicken in garlic sauce earlier -- ate mostly the chicken, now eating mostly the vegetables and some hot&sour soup).

Notwist -- everything after 12 (so, 12, Shrink, Neon Golden, The Devil, You + Me, Close to the Glass, Messier Objects, Superheroes, Ghostvillains & Stuff, Johnny and Mary, and Different Cars and Trains)...just because I needed some happy music, and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong was a little too upbeat.

Happy birthday, Ric! (party favour noise of non-denominational soundings)

...because someone likened it to Black Sabbath...oh yeah...all right now...

Yeah, I remember because I went down the rabbit hole of first watching his other videos (especially the other Live Plus Près De Toi videos) and then listening to whole albums on Tidal and liking all of it. Will check out the new album. I liked the video particularly much because it shows all the instruments in enough detail that if you had a fetish for them, you could get off on the close-ups. (I’m thinking of the Wurlitzer electric piano, Linn drum machine, and Roland string synthesizer, not just the two hot women. Alright, maybe not the synthesizer. I mean, who has a fetish for Rolands?)

Didn’t you share that before? Loved it then, love it now.

Happy birthday, Ken! (party favour noise)
