To encourage a mental flow state, I listen to 'zone music'. Whenever I have to concentrate, I turn this music on.
The songs below are also a Pomodoro 25min so it's break time when the song ends.

A. I wonder what language the French pres. uses to whisper to the Italian pres?
B. How does Meloni manage to dress like a 12 year old girl and somehow not seem ridiculous?
C. Feel the stomach acid the Japanese delegate is experiencing 😬
D. How is it that Starmer manages to look *exactly* as awkward at these meetings as Theresa May did?

A few words on music festivals (from the audience perspective)
Stan Stewart - @muz4now

Got tired of AC Odyssey and decided to revisit my GOG library. It's full of classic goodies, which I often forget. Medal of Honor Allied Assault is still one of the best single player shooters. The orchestral music and the heroic story make this game a first-class experience, and the id 3 engine is built for digital gunplay.

Good Morning #Canada
On May 27, 1957, at 6:00 a.m., the CHUM radio station (1050 AM) increased power from 1,000 watts to 2,500 watts and switched from a daytime station to 24 hours. At that same moment, radios all over Toronto started playing Elvis Presley singing “All Shook Up” as the "New CHUM" became Canada’s first Top 50 music format. The station launched hundreds of careers and introduced new music to young and old alike.

I remember a time when I called a business and someone answered. Now when the phone is answered, I am immediately put on hold to listen to annoying computer generated music, then an announcement about how much they value my business, then a land acknowledgement, then a warning about abusive language or behaviour, then a number select menu, which does not include “talk to the receptionist”, then I pick a number and have to leave a message! 🤷😠

Yessir!!!!
That's how it's done!

Any #SailfishOS users out here know how to make #StreetComplete usable again by either disabling the any-audio-interrupting plop sounds or teaching SailfishOS to just keep playing audio if another app makes sound?

Disabling Plop/Touch sounds in StreetComplete
StreetComplete is a very cool app that makes adding data to OpenStreetMap quite fun. However, on SailfishOS there is one thing that makes it super annoying to use: Whenever one fulfils a task / answers a question, the icon vanishes with a PLOP sound, which then stops any other audio such ss the Sailfish media player. This effectively prevents listening to music or an audiobook during mapping which is indescribably annoying. Some links: from my post: A couple of other people having big probl…

Today's #TuneTuesday theme is #LondonCalling - songs that name-drop a town or city in the title or lyrics.
This has long been a favorite, a song from an alt-country legend about Townes Van Zandt, the composer of some of the finest US songs of the 20th century. It mentions a whole series of cities.…

From afar, I'm loving the currently viral tiktok/insta livecoding genre started by Char Stiles, Jade Rowland and DJ Dave - tersely explaining all the functions of a set of strudel patterns, quickly building up a banging euphoric track while trying to suppress emotions enough to speak
I would love to see a version of this but the outcome is totally chaotic noise music that makes no sense where the person just has to shout over it to try to be heard while adding layer on layer of pat…

This is one of the most profound statements about writing/art that I've ever come across. When I was in music school it was hinted at in terms of songwriting but never approached as directly.

Listening to music can be a welcome distraction. But for people suffering from a wide range of medical conditions, its effects go much deeper.

Survey on the Evaluation of Generative Models in Music
Research on generative systems in music has seen considerable attention and growth in recent years. A variety of attempts have been made to systematically evaluate such systems. We provide an interdisciplinary review of the common evaluation targets, methodologies, and metrics for the evaluation of both system output and model usability, covering subjective and objective approaches, qualitative and quantitative approaches, as well as empirical and computational methods. We discuss the advantage…
