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.

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.

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.

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. 😳

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

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

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…

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.

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…

“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…

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

#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 😴

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…

Your regular reminder that the Supreme Court of the United States is an illegitimate institution that should not be listened to or rulings adhered to. https://www.rawstory.com/samuel-alito-conflict-of-interest/

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!

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!”

No crazy announcements! She listened to me :-)

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

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!

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…

Just finished "The Language of Liars" by #SLHuang @…
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.
