I know it's late in his career but I'd like to see Tom Jones release a follow-up song called 'It IS Unusual', which focuses on rare but documented phenomena like Halley's Comet.

A lovely warm sunny afternoon at Farmoor Reservoir, with really close views of Little Stint and Ringed Plover = the best photos I've managed to take with an iPhone through my scope.

Ooh, not seen that - it would be injectable with CSS I guess? Do you prefer that over the default navidrome web UI then?

Another vote for Navibeat here - AFAIK the only web interface I've seen (other than Navidrome's own) is Music Assistant.

I met Isha at my nephews birthday party a few weeks ago. That conversation is now starting to feel like Hugh Boneville's character in Notting Hill. "Oh you do music?! Oh well done you…"

Now that I'm looking at this screenshot on my iPhone instead of my Studio Display - I don't see any of the gradients that made me think of Aqua. Weird!

Quite relieved with Mac/iOS27's design changes. Feels a much more mature approach than 26, especially on Mac. Not just transparency - things like the shiny highlights being top/bottom, rather than opposite corners (where they made icons look lopsided). Some elements looking a bit…dare I say… Aqua?

Screenshot of Mac toolbar buttons on a light mode window, showing the bubbly-ness of shadows and highlights.

Tidal have finally raised their collection max limit from 10k to 20k. That was my big deal breaker with the service - 20k is still an arbitrary limit, but its a better limit

Screenshot of a Tidal employee posting that the limit is now 20,000.

A couple of releases I want highlight today. The first is album of the year contender for me: It's the collaboration of Adam Wiltzie & the late Jóhann Jóhannsson. It's an ambient/classical crossover with whole heap of tape loops, some going back to their work on the Theory of Everything soundtrack:

I mean it's no biggie. He only made my favourite album of all time.

I wish I was better at talking to the artists I adore. Tonight I met Adam Wiltzie (of Stars of the Lid, Winged Victory for the Sullen) at a listening event for his new album. Trouble is, I get so nervous and tongue tied, I feel I have to hurriedly finish up before I say something really stupid.

I was surprised at Port cocktails - I viewed them a little cynically, but they were my favourite drinks of the holiday. Hope you get to go again soon

Back home from Porto. Loved Porto, but coming back to HMRC demands for tax I've already paid, and messages from Hover that my main domain name has expired, even though it's set to auto-renew and they've taken my money. Want to go straight back to Porto.

Even though most Swifts left the UK a couple of weeks ago, I'm now in Porto, and have caught them up! So many screaming overhead, it's always a bit emotional (and good for the soul) to hear them 🥰

I have multiple sets of boxers that are various colours with a dark band on top - they look like original series Star Trek uniforms. Surprised myself how superstitious I am - NEVER wear the red ones.

Wilco are always a great live experience, but last at the Hammersmith Apollo was particularly special. Maybe it was the choice of songs (a lot of favourites from Yankee Hotel Foxtrot), the view (decently close for once) or even that the audience were up for it (and not talking!).
