what's your most-listened to track?
(this is the Main Titles from Blade Runner, it isn't my highest, but up there)

@… I don’t know John personally, but I’ve listened to him talk about tech for long enough that I’m really confident in saying: I bet he *tried* to teach his children all the proper computer etiquette (Proper in his opinion, which is often controversial, hence the whole podcast thing).
But teaching a child something they don’t *want* to learn is… e…

For years, every road trip we took began with the same song. It's been a while since we've listened to it right out of the gates, but the feeling's still there.

Have you ever listened to a song with lyrics in Java? No? Then please enjoy helloworld.java by Nanowar of Steel: #rocknroll

I don’t often listen to lyrics. I typically just hear the music, and I have to strain to catch the words.
It’s part of the reason I really love listening to Song Exploder.
So I finally listened to the words to “Iris” for the first time, and, fuck, it hits hard.

Hi @… people, I listened to the first episode of #StarTrek Khan this morning in the car, and it was actually pretty decent.

For the past few weeks I've had a Mario song stuck in my head. I hummed it so much that my wife started humming it, but she'd never heard it before. I looked it up, it's from SMB 3, which I haven't played (or listened to) since the mid-1990s. Until now!

(2015) "Visual" cortex responds to spoken language in blind children https://www.jneurosci.org/content/35/33/11674 Now what will the "visual" cortex of blind children do once trained with live imagery (camera views) encoded in sound by The vOICe?

“Visual” Cortex Responds to Spoken Language in Blind Children
Plasticity in the visual cortex of blind individuals provides a rare window into the mechanisms of cortical specialization. In the absence of visual input, occipital (“visual”) brain regions respond to sound and spoken language. Here, we examined the time course and developmental mechanism of this plasticity in blind children. Nineteen blind and 40 sighted children and adolescents (4–17 years old) listened to stories and two auditory control conditions (unfamiliar foreign speech, and musi…

I FINALLY listened to you and tried Linux... Why did I wait so long?

Day 9 - Windy
I slowly woke up to the morning sun pouring into my tent. My bag is packed, my bike is set, and I’m ready for my last breakfast in HillerŸd. One last stroll through the Frederikssund Gardens before I say goodbye to my host.
The weather gods listened to me regarding the rain, but they really fucked me up with the wind—42 km of headwind! And for anyone who says that Denmark is flat, then Pamela Anderson is flat too! While I was fighting with the wind with lots of open…

I love it that years ago, Linux boasted things like, 'It has an office suite like in Windows!', and now it's, like, 'Plug in. Game on!' 🥰 ->

Being Bandcamp Friday and all, had to grab a couple things. Picked up the new Exorency, Pseudomaimer, and Emphysema (super gross cover on that one) LPs - three artists I really wanted to give some money to, since I've listened to all three of those albums SO MUCH this year. Two death metal, one grind - an all-metal Bandcamp Friday for me. And it's only for a few more hours, get those last purchases in 💥
Only two more Bandcamp Fridays in 2025 after today -- October 3 and Decem…

@…
I often wonder, if everybody had listened to Metallica and stopped pirating music where would we be now?

Someone, somewhere, on which platform I cannot remember, was asking if anyone listened to music through headphones while home alone. I’m doing that right now. Some music lends itself more to headphone listening, in my opinion.

I just listened to this whole concert album and it’s just fantastic, hell of a performance. Hot damn. And then I purchased it, because I am old and crusty and I like to actually hold the data for music in my own library on my own danged device.
Thank you, @…!

@… I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your appearance on the Reimagining the Internet podcast back in April with Ethan Zuckerman. Just finally listened to it today while driving, and enjoyed your insights around online communities, the Fediverse, Bluesky, and so much more. Thanks for doing all the writing and speaking that you are doing.

Listened in to the Academy Software Foundation's virtual townhall about the Open Review Initiative. I knew that project because they provide very useful ffmpeg command lines and they're doing all the encoding tests to figure out good quality settings and obscure parameters.
Learnings from the presentation: prores by ffmpeg is sadly pretty crappy compared to the real prores from Apple. There's the OpenAPV codec that is gearing up to be an open-source alternative:

New podcast just dropped.
Well, it dropped in June, but I just found out about it. I've listened to the first episode and I hope it's successful because it's doing such important work.
This podcast is about child sexual abuse in the LDS church. The information is presented in a clear way with empathy towards survivors and with the legal details that show just how liable the LDS church is and how its influence on

This attorney has taken up hundreds of child abuse cases against the LDS Church
Washington-based attorney Tim Kosnoff believes The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints could do more to protect children from abuse.

probably 45 years ago I was going down into Mexico to camp for a week with three friends, one of them was the brother of a friend of mine who was in charge of music. He forgot all the music except for one Grateful Dead eight track tape that he just left on repeat and that was the first and last time I ever listened to the grateful dead.

#TuneTuesday (Sep 2)
I first heard of Francois Klark when a song of his was beautifully included in the climax of a Netflix film. I got curious and listened to some of his other songs and came across the 2019 song “This City” which is the sort of pop song that really appeals to me.

I listened to a podcast interview with #PeterThiel on #AI,

Day of Texas weather here, so perfect timing to listen to Texan° blues genius Sue Foley, whom I've listened to for 30 years, performing her new tribute to female guitarists. At Chan's Egg Roll & Jazz, Woonsocket.
° Actually from Ottawa, but you'd never guess from listening to her.

There is a piano in there.*

#ListeningClub Since I’ve been able to ambulate a little better lately, I’ve returned to lugging albums upstairs to slowly burn my CD collection. That was The Cramps performing “Psychotic Reaction” live at the Peppermint Lounge in 1981 from their “Smell of Female” EP which, if you can believe it, I listened to an inordinate amount of times during my high school days.

July has been a month full of events. Some good. Some sad. But in both cases, I hope I did my best.
...And we have three books and a bunch of movies to talk about. Plus, the new Messa album. :)

The Changelog – July 2025
It has been a month of contrasts; of light and shadows. In the midst of all that, I read three books, listened to the new Messa’s album and, of course, I watched KPop Demon Hunters like everybody else.

Unveiling the Listener Structure Underlying K-pop's Global Success: A Large-Scale Listening Data Analysis
From the mid-2000s to the 2010s, K-pop moved beyond its status as a regionally popular genre in Asia and established itself as a global music genre with enthusiastic fans around the world. However, little is known about how the vast number of music listeners across the globe have listened to and perceived K-pop. This study addresses this question by analyzing a large-scale listening dataset from Last.fm. An analysis of the distribution of play counts reveals that K-pop experienced a significant…

This weekend I listened to the 'How to Age Up' podcast on climate change. A lot of good observations for how parents can help their children process the daily news cycle and manage their anxiety about the future.
Turns out one effective strategy is one I keep hearing from so many different sources - you build community. Building community makes communities more resilient. Building community makes you feel less alone - so you can help do the work to combat climate change/racism/…

Found an app called “Octave Coffee”. It’s an opinionated timer for pourover coffee. Tells you how much to pour, then how much to wait, and so on. And it has a cute pixel art kitty.
The problem is… it negs you while doing it, and your reward at the end for following the instructions is the message, “You actually listened. Shocking.”
I did it twice. It doesn’t vary.
So… I’m deleting it, even though I found it useful, because I don’t want to be insulted first thing in the morn…

I discovered Ozzy via radio (and my dad had the first Sabbath record) but my wife discovered Ozzy in a different way. When she was younger, she was searching for 'Crazy' by Britney, but 'Crazy Train' came up, and she was like, 'what's this', and listened to it. She liked it, made it the custom ringtone for her mom's phone number, and kept it as that (it still is). 😂 She later heard the early Sabbath stuff and loved it, of course.
