ok, I can't find the original, I think it was someone's scrobble stream in my feed. Anyways, one you brilliant bastards posted #assassing by #Marillion. I'd heard of Marillion before but never really _listened_. Damn, how have I been listening to

#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.

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.

I've been happy with my decision about 6 months ago to cancel some news subscriptions and pay for a 404 Media one. Today though I listened to the subscribers-only section of their podcast about how they were doing financially and their principles on growth and I was further encouraged that it had been the right thing to do.
Here's a referral link to their free newsletter. I think if several people use it I might get some free merch but I don't care about that.

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/…

I haven't read or listened to the Brian Wilson obituaries yet. Sometimes you put off sadness.

I'd never heard of Pierre Novellie til I listened to this. I find his comedy funnier than most - it's worth finding him on YT and listening.

@… Tuxjam is a nice pod, thnx for the tip. Good music, nice banter about Tux. Just listened to the last ep, will work my way back 😊

“Can’t you just shoot them, just shoot them in the legs or something?” Trump asked..."
Seems like LAPD listened to the wanna-be dictator.

Welp, I did it. I listened to the #Ramones discography from start to finish in order.
It's surprising how consistent most of the albums are. There are def some low points, but even in later albums, they keep the energy going. It's impressive.

Lately I listened to a lot of liquid drum and bass. Here's a mix I recorded yesterday :)

The Predictive Brain: Neural Correlates of Word Expectancy Align with Large Language Model Prediction Probabilities
Predictive coding theory suggests that the brain continuously anticipates upcoming words to optimize language processing, but the neural mechanisms remain unclear, particularly in naturalistic speech. Here, we simultaneously recorded EEG and MEG data from 29 participants while they listened to an audio book and assigned predictability scores to nouns using the BERT language model. Our results show that higher predictability is associated with reduced neural responses during word recognition, as…
