Some good news: I think I've succeeded in shutting down Pest Proof, a company selling a scam mosquito trap filled with yeast, sugar, baking soda, and citric acid. Its e-commerce site started displaying, "Site Inactive", today, at least. Over the past several weeks I've sent complaints to all 50 states, the EPA, the FTC, and to regulatory authorities in Canada and the UK where it was also being marketed. Someone listened, it seems. Traps like this kill innocent insects, not mosquitoes. #mosquitoes #insects

Coo Coo Rockin Time (1990)
I remember this album from when I worked in a record store and not knowing this was a collaboration between lo-fi rocker R. Stevie Morre and David Fair from Half Japanese. I would just wonder what it sounded like and laugh at how no one ever bought it.
It’s a kooky rock’n’roll record with a variety of whimsical songs. Lots of sax going on in every song.
Anyway, I just listened to it again while working and it really reminds me of the mid-to-lat…

I listened to some Ultravox (they were one of my favorites as a kid), so I decided to read what happened to Midge Ure, and I'm very happy to report that "midge ure allegations" doesn't seem to result in a slew of horrors.
Then I read a bit of an interview in which he sounds like a nice fellow, and now I'll stop before I ruin this wonderful moment in which my childhood hero is still one.

No crazy announcements! She listened to me :-)

#LesFicFri: An Evening for Some Terpsichore (Artemis x Terpsichore x Apollon)
Artemis admired Terpsichore. The Muse had the grace of a leopard and the body of an athlete. She always wore her dress bound just below the breast, bringing out her wonderful round bosoms.
Taking her hand and being led by the Muse of Dance made her grin like an idiot and blush like a maiden.
She barely listened to Terpsichore's instructions. Artemis felt herself dampen between her thighs.

I’ve not been online much these past couple of days. I’ve done some gardening, some tidying up around the house, listened to music, and watched some YouTube. Social Media can destroy your soul if you let it. t’s so full of vitriol and hate and division these days, and it’s easy to get dragged in.

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. …

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.

Finally listened to Guided by Voices' newest, Crawlspace of the Pantheon, from May. They've still got it. "Advance Without Dropping" is an early standout.

“Little Tony” never forgot his promise to his grandfather.
Pedro Víctor García had enough grandchildren to start a baseball team,
but he had a favorite: -- Little Tony.
There was something special about Tony.
Unlike the others, he listened to his stories.
When Pedro smoked cigars on the porch in Miami, Tony would sit at his feet and hang on his every word.
He wanted to know about the old country.

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.

I listened to this soundtrack while driving home last night. It made things seem a little ominous. Good soundtrack, though.

"People ask me (about) my influences, I would have to say Patty Waters. They say other people and I say, Nahh, Patty Waters, listen to Patty Waters. I listened to her twice. That's all it took for some grain of inextricable influence." -Diamanda Galas, 1998

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…

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…

I just listened to the whole new KGWL album for the first time.
Probably the last one too.

Just finished reading Frankenstein in Baghdad by Ahmed Saadawi. The novel was translated into English by Jonathan Wright.
It's quite a read. It makes you think. Yes, about what we, US taxpayers, have wrought on other people around the world and how now it's coming home. About the nature of people and communities and what is evil and who is responsible for the harm done among ourselves.
It's also just a good story. I highly recommend it. I listened to the Libro.fm audiobook, which was read by Edoardo Ballerini & Kaleo Griffith quite effectively.

Yeah, so about software developers today.
I recall that back in middle school there was a time that our Polish teacher got angry that the students aren't reading the books they were required to read and started asking every single pupil to summarize what the book was about. She went according to how we sat, and spared no one, grading every answer.
Needless to say, I haven't seen the book or even a summary of it (at the time, it was common for students to buy summary books). However, I sat somewhere near the middle of the class, so before my turn came, at least a few other people answered something, for better or worse. I've listened to their answers, combined them into a coherent story and got a good grade as a result. I think the teacher may have even suggested that unlike my other classmates, I actually read the book.
All I did was mix the previous answers to produce something coherent. And that didn't make me consider myself to be knowledgeable about the book. So why are you calling yourself software developers, again?

RE: #CemeteryBoys and the ending is just what I needed emotionally right now.
So glad that my book club chose to read it for September, especially given the sequel is coming out so soon.
I listened to the audio book and #AviRoque did an excellent job bringing the characters to life.

Amazing work. So much to say in so quick a read. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in the description. I don't want to spoil it, but it has a lot to say to us living today.
I listened to the audiobook and highly recommend it as well. So well performed and told by #EmilyWooZeller.
