No crazy announcements! She listened to me :-)

Today we visited the Albert Hall - not the one in Kensington but in Nottingham, where I was granted my BA degree 56 years ago. We listened to the Binns organ played by Peter Siepmann. FANTASTIC!
The next recital is on Monday 29 June at 1.10pm - a rousing combination of organ and trumpet. I hope they get more people in the audience!

While creating a radio station function for #Jellyfin for #Roku, I found I have a lot of #music I've never listened to on my server.
I must listen to everything at least once!

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's son has been secretly working as a political appointee attorney at the U.S. Treasury Department, raising serious conflict of interest questions as high-stakes cases involving the agency have made their way to the nation's highest court, according to a report.Phil...

Over the past 2 evenings, I've listened to Olivia Waite's Dorothy Gentlemen novellas. Think Miss Marple on a generation ship 300 years into a millennial journey where everyone backs up their memories so if/when they die, they can be uploaded to a new body.
Makes for a fun universe for memory crimes and murder with a gay/bi/Sapphic twist, depending on the person. Cozy yet new mysteries well told.
I recommend both Murder by Memory and Nobody's Baby.

If you have even a passing interest in #history, and have ever listened to podcasts, then undoubtedly you have heard of Dan Carlin's #HardcoreHistory. His long form episode series are the stuff of legend.
He also has a feed for one-offs (the HH Addendum series) which are usually a litt…

After watching True Romance today I have Chantilly Lace stuck in my head, which is fine with me. I've listened to a lot of 'oldies' radio in my life (whatever that means) and it's such a weird banger of a song. Love it every damn time it comes on.

In 1999, I moved to another country for the first time. While there, I made an incredible group of friends many of whom I still see regularly, despite the lot of us being spread out across several continents and a dozen countries. We listened to a lot of music that year, most of which, as the only uniliginual English-speaker of the bunch, I didn't understand at all. This track came out that year and caused me to cut more than one rug.

I got home from surgery Tuesday afternoon, and it’s now Thursday night, and I am bored out of my fucking mind.
I’ve listened to audiobooks & podcasts, watched videos, read all the comments, argued with Nazis and car-brained people, read books, listened to music… and now so fucking bored!
I lay on an ice pack, I get up and walk around a bit, and sit in an upright chair for limited times. And repeat.
Going stir crazy here. 😳

@… Listened to this recently and thought you might be interested in it. https://textfiles.libsyn.com/the-umatic-gems-episode

sat on the stoop & mostly listened to people freaking out in the near distance during the last 10 minutes of the game. but besides the bar down the block, truly amazing stillness for a saturday night. nobody walking by, almost no cars. and now, obviously, beautiful fuckin' chaos. #nyc

Discovered a new good podcast today. #JuneSternbach casually mentioned on a #IllConceived podcast bonus that she was guesting on #ABitFruity.
I listened to her ep and enjoyed it. …

I bought an Etta James album (“Let’s roll”) some weeks ago in a small music store in Uppsala. I thought #EttaJames was on my list of musicians whose voice I like but don’t have any album so far. Today we listened to that album. Turns out, I did not remember her, but wow, she’s amazing! #Blues at i…

Thanks to @…, who reminded me it had been too long since I listened to Last Splash. Had to do that extremely loudly on the way home today. Which of course led into Retreat from the Sun.

On the meta glasses. This is from my partner's aunt.

I've just finished putting together a release of selected unreleased works spanning 2006 to 2026.
I'm aware this might seem like a lot. Three fairly long albums of mine came out between 2025 and 2026, and now here comes another collection. :D
Unlike those, which were intended to be listened through, this isn't really an album. I've still grouped pieces into families and shaped a running order that makes a kind of sense, but there is no expectation it be heard star…

A brutal, crushing #ThursDeath this week with debut LP 'Putrescence' by Toronto's COPROLITH. The riffs are relentless, the drums are pounding. The last song is the single, I listened to a ton of it before this came out, and it still strikes me how great it is every time I hear it. What an amazing record. Cavernous as fuck. Easily one of my favorite metal records this year so far.

#GreenDay's album #AmericanIdiot is such a boring album.
I've not listened to it all the way through before now.
I like the idea of it, but musically, it's a snooze fest 😴

Interesting look at state of the art performance wireless.
But goddamn—$2500USD for the body pack only!

“The technology always needed to catch up in a sonic sense. The opinion was always that it never sounded as good as a cable and would not be adopted”: How Radiohead were finally convinced to embrace wireless guitar and mic tech for their most recent shows
“We brought it into Jonny Greenwood’s studio and did some blind tests. We all listened and even the most cynical guitar techs were impressed!”

Been too long since I listened to Ween. Fixing that soon here.

Well done. About time you listened. #TOTP
