“Field recordings”

Oh. I bet it's an exercise stationary thing.

I really need to set mine up. That bicycle seat though.

Stoned Meadows of Doom (YouTube channel) gave me Subrosa, More Constant than the Gods, but there were so many commercials that I switched to Tidal. That led to Messa, Feast for Water (also excellent), which led to Windhand, Eternal Return (also excellent), so I’ve been a happy randoom boy today. RIYL Chelsea Wolfe, doomy metal, female vocals, goth, death rock.

My Twitter feed exploded with the news that Bong Joon-ho won best director, so I tuned in just in time to see Parasite win best picture. (party favour noise)

Indeed. It's pretty fucking intense. After the last track played, Soundcloud sent me down a Tom Waits rabbit hole: https://soundcloud.com/tomwaits/popular-tracks

And again:

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

I saw her back in the Lilith Fair days. ❤️

So great https://tidal.com/playlist/d693f035-aa6d-4c01-824b-da0bdee1c1c8

And the follow-up album is just as outstanding! https://electricorange.bandcamp.com/album/eoxxv

Listening to some Krautrock from Electric Orange: https://electricorange.bandcamp.com/album/misophonia

Quite good! Dig. Me: digging Landskap’s doomy III

Short and sweet:

Wasn't really sure where to put this -- it's just a short album announcement, so I put it here:

Unholy carp, this doesn't sound at all like Pearl Jam until I saw who it was -- sounded more like David Byrne era Talking Heads at first. (See below.) Gah, embedding videos isn't working for me. (EDIT: fixed below) New Katatonia song! (See below.)

🤣

Was at the local pet store the other day, and, as always, I went to play with the adoptables that were on display. Went to pet this guy and he just rolled over. Almost took him home. I thought this would make a great poster.

Not to derail the thread, but curious as to you all power users’ opinions on OpenOffice.

I'd still switch. Just because I hate Microsoft. If the issue was formatting, the originator could've exported the file to Excel v2013 format. I don't know if there's an equivalent for functions, though. But if you do switch and run into the problem again, something to keep in mind. We actually have it set as default to save Word as .doc files and not .docx files at work to make sure no-one ever runs into compatibility issues, especially the client.
