"And that doesn’t even touch on the realm of live music, or music you play on your own instruments in your own home." Or, you know, DJ sets. I can imagine @philipsherburne.bsky.social thought, "God, do I really have to write this?!" I'm glad he did. futurismrestated.substack.com/p/fr-192-inf...

Heads up! A few people let me know that wav and aif files no longer load in BG on ios27. mp3, aac Still work. I reproduced this yesterday - it’s a regression internally on Apple’s side. I’ve filed a bug report with Apple and recommend holding off on updating to ios27 if you can!

Periodic reminder that 1. I wrote a book called Living in Data 2. It's pretty darned relevant at the moment 3. You can get it at your local bookshop or library bookshop.org/p/books/livi...
"If Annie Dillard wrote about data, it might sound something like this. In turns insightful, hilarious, techy and humane, Living in Data is an essential book for anyone who’s wondering how exactly we got into this data mess, and thinking about how we might dig ourselves out.”

The Last Days of May – initially inspired by Australian guitarist Roland S. Howard – is @zsennef.bsky.social’a longest piece to date, a wistful work of sweet melancholy with the course and tempo of a dimming summer’s day, undercut by his trademark sleight of hand in intricate, decaying detail.

Have a great weekend, or best you can. Open a window and listen. Play one of your least favorite LPs, CDs, or tapes and decide if it's worth keeping. Pick up a favorite book and read a section at random out loud. See ya Monday — or maybe Tuesday.

…Steve Spacek had released albums made entirely in the iPhone, and I found this all so curious. FL Studio on Android had sort of interested me, but as with earlier experiements, I never felt invested. But as I explored the iOS App Store, I was blown away by apps like @borderlandsipad.bsky.social. /9
