#cdoftheday #NowPlaying 28/100. Steve Reich & Beryl Korot, ‘Three Tales’ (composed/produced 1998-2002, released 2003) Yep, still making my way through the SR boxset given to me by @robertbaldock.bsky.social. Unlike with ‘The Cave’, there’s also a DVD for this one. Belated happy 90th b’day, Mr Reich
‘Three Tales’ pack shot. Clockwise from top left:
- CD (version from the Nonesuch ‘Steve Reich - Collected Works’ box set)
- front cover (version from the gatefold card sleeve in the Nonesuch ‘Steve Reich - Collected Works’ box set): three images arranged one above another in horizontal strips, stills from Beryl Korot’s videos accompanying the Three Tales, one for each Tale
- rear cover of the slipcase for the original 2003 Nonesuch release: more images from the videos arranged similarly plus a live shot of musicians performing the piece
- DVD (version from the original 2003 Nonesuch release)
- in-tray image from original 2003 Nonesuch release: the head of a robotic sheep 🐑

​’Ian Curtis didn’t have a chance’: the Durutti Column on departed friends, Factory Records and fun with Morrissey
As they release their first album in 16 years, the Vini Reilly-fronted band answer your questions on sandpaper record sleeves, having Harry Styles as a fan and inventing a new style of guitar music

I was at this gig (with @robertbaldock.bsky.social). The first half was a performance by Psychic TV - strangest double bill ever? The ACR set was definitely the release after the tension. So glad a half decent recording exists.

Gender-neutral bathrooms : A guide
4 frame comic. first frame shows a bunch of dirty toilet bowls in one open room. text reads : how some people imagine gender neutral bathrooms. second frame shows a row of closed toilet stalls with no space under or above. text reads : what a gender neutral public bathroom actually looks like. third frame showsone of the toilet with the door open, we see a tiny sink and paper towel dispenser. text reads : a colelction of fully enclosed stalls, ideally with soap and a sink. I don't want going to the toilet to be a social experience, thank you. last frame shows the toilet doors in a public setting, with a bunch of passersby. text reads : gender segregated spaces, especially in schools, are where violence and bullying occur. gender neutral bathrooms are the safer and inclusive option.

Happy 45th birthday. Vini Reilly’s 1980 masterpiece still feels like a quiet revolution. It’s music that rewires your pulse, erases the edges of the room, and still sounds as though it arrived from a slightly more beautiful parallel world.

Most of the buses of Luzern/Lucerne are trolleys, pulling power from overhead wires. The electricity for transit in #Switzerland comes largely from renewables. SBB, the national train network, gets 90% of its power from hydro (dams).
