@jake4480@c.imAnybody else have that thing where you had a song on a mix that you listened to so much, now when you hear the song alone or on its album, the song that was after it on the mix plays in your head? An example for me is Judy is a Punk- apparently at one point I had a mix CD that had Let Me Roll It right after it. So now, any time I listen to Judy, Let Me Roll It comes on in my head next. So odd. I'm calling it Mix Syndrome.
@avalon@jazztodon.com"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

@scott@carfree.cityFinally listened to Guided by Voices' newest, Crawlspace of the Pantheon, from May. They've still got it. "Advance Without Dropping" is an early standout.
@Kingu@sakurajima.moeI just listened to the whole new KGWL album for the first time.
Probably the last one too.

@benthos@mastodon.sdf.orgI listened to this soundtrack while driving home last night. It made things seem a little ominous. Good soundtrack, though.

@cdarwin@c.im“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.
Cuba was just on the other side of the Straits of Flor…
@colinpurrington@flipping.rocksSome 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

@pgcd@mastodon.onlineI 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.
@Carwil@mastodon.onlineSomeone there had devised an algorithm called "Daddy's Home."
And when a cellphone belonging to a child of a man on their list sent a text message, verified their target was in a house that he shared with his family… That's when the message would get set to the pilots to go ahead. And when the roof caved in, the young men and women in the targeting room listened in on those same cellphones. They heard how the strike went. They evaluated its success.

@Defiance@sfba.socialCoo 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…

@olav@bonn.socialToday at #bfuture26 I listened to social media managers talk about how they care about user needs and the necessity to serve these needs on bigco platforms, because this is where users are.
If we really would care about user needs, wouldn't we put more effort into educating people how destructive these platforms are?
Meet people there, but guide them here?

@eyebee@mstdn.socialI’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.

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.

@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.social#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.

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsYeah, 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?

@katrinakatrinka@infosec.exchangeJust 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.

@katrinakatrinka@infosec.exchangeRE: #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.
