Final #race of Finnish 1:10 2WD #Offroad National Series was yesterday at Äänekoski #RC club's indoor-track. Brutal punishing track with many #cars getting broken after a small mistake. Personally I like smaller fast-paced indoor tracks, but this time I […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

"Acoustic Rarities" by #RichardThompson. A bit low-key packaging and simple cover but musically kick ass stuff! Starts with fast paced "What If?" Then follows great ballads and standout detailed acoustic guitar sound. Cool ragtime on "Alexander Graham […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

#PinkFloyd "Obscured By Clouds". This was their last commissioned #soundtrack album, a quick relaxed one, before their megastardom. The music is good, starting with synth-heavy instrumental title track - early #AmbientHouse. Other tracks are ballads and […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

"Meddle" by #PinkFloyd. One of their first true masterpieces. Opener "One Of These Days" is #pretechno thrill with bass lead and culminating with saturated bass drum beats, sampled vocal and #Gilmour #DrWho #lapsteel guitar. The whole B-side is a […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

"Dream Chaser" by #WillieNelson. According to #Wikipedia, it's his 79th album. A typical short album for this genre - 30 minutes - but still good regular middle-of-the-road country stuff. Sweet music as always from Willie. #Music #CD #RecordCollecting #Country #FolkRock

"Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe" by #ABWH. Good stuff here! Much better than previous commercial 80s Yes and subsequent "Union", though a bit calmer with wailing solos and interludes. Some of it is like prog rock going to world music. Interesting at least […] [Original post on bitwoods.duckdns.org]

#Mastodon is lacking automatic garbage collection. I follow just 100-200 accounts, but over couple of years my single-user instance had accumulated over 35k cached/federated profiles! They not only eat gigabytes of disk space, but also make everything really slow. So I ran "prune profiles" and […]
