windsaw.bsky.social @windsaw.bsky.social · 19/09/2026There is a new #Mind.in.a.Box album out! At least one of my favourite musicians keeps on releasing quality stuff. This album sounds surprisingly smooth, with the storytelling less in the forefront. Some tracks sound downright poppy. Not that I'm complaining. 100

windsaw.bsky.social @windsaw.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Last week I purchased this Russ Ballard CD in a second hand shop. I have to say, I have never listened to an album that, to me, sounded as nostalgically #80s as this one. 000

windsaw.bsky.social @windsaw.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I laughed today when I read the synopsis for the irish version of Tintin "The Black Island"! Really, did Gabriel Rosenstock (the translator) translate it from Welsh?! Interesting: My Irish is still very weak but I could almost read those three words. Shows both are Celtic, even if distant. #Gaeilge 100
windsaw.bsky.social @windsaw.bsky.social · 02/08/2026"The Wyvern's Spur" is the only old #ad&d novel I still own. Because it has a special place in my heart. Easy English, easy to understand and advice all: it was fun! It helped me so much learning English. The tone and dialogues were so light-hearted. That it was only a side-story also helped. 130

windsaw.bsky.social @windsaw.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I love songs that are in a 7/4 or 7/8 meter, especially if they make it work to a degree that you don't immediately recognise that something is out of the ordinary. It is such a shame that most modern music is so fixated on 4/4 that even a 3/4 or 6/8 has become uncommon. 100

windsaw.bsky.social @windsaw.bsky.social · 21/06/2026With the last episode now out for all, here some of my thoughts about "The Amazing Digital Circus" At first, I didn't like it. Too hectic. Too loud. Other series like that have turned me away before. What got me back were comments by others who pointed out details I missed. #tadc 100

windsaw.bsky.social @windsaw.bsky.social · 05/06/2026I now saw episode 9 of The Amazing Digital Circus. My rating is 8/10, which means it was not a banger, but "just" a satisfying conclusion to a great series. I would like to go into the one thing that I disliked that prevented me from giving it a 9, but that could be spoilers. 000

windsaw.bsky.social @windsaw.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Literally fifteen minutes ago I talked to my sister about the illustrated "The Hobbit" with the oversized Gollum by Tove Jameson.

windsaw.bsky.social @windsaw.bsky.social · 24/04/2026I recently thought to myself I should find out what the most wholesome sentence was that I ever read in fiction. This is from "A Close and Common Orbit" from Becky Chambers. It is not a dramatic or impactful sentence, but gives me warm feelings whenever I read it. 010
windsaw.bsky.social @windsaw.bsky.social · 02/04/2026I made ink from sloe bark using a medieval recipe. The result is like a varnish that can be dried to be reused later. Unfortunately it can't be used in fountain pens since it would glue it shut very quickly and since it is not very dark you have to use a lot of fluid. #fountainpen 282
windsaw.bsky.social @windsaw.bsky.social · 15/03/2026InCase has completed his webcomic "Alfie" with a very nice epilogue. I want to voice my appreciation for this. What started out so long ago as a simple porn webcomic has evolved into a tale with flawed but lovable characters that readers really cared about. Thanks for wrapping it up satisfyingly! 021

windsaw.bsky.social @windsaw.bsky.social · 10/03/2026In my local bookshop I saw that there is now a german hardcover "The Hobbit" with illustrations by Tove Jansson! They even gave it a nice retro look and feel! I wonder if it has that oversized Gollum image! Tolkien rewrote parts of the book because of that. He hadn't specify Gollum's size before. 010

windsaw.bsky.social @windsaw.bsky.social · 12/01/2026I saw #Avatar - Fire and Ash yesterday. I am someone who absolutely loved the first movie and saw it seven times in the cinema. But I think if there is another Avatar movie, I will stay at home. This felt so much like an overlong episode in a TV superhero series. And I am tired of superhero movies. 100

windsaw.bsky.social @windsaw.bsky.social · 22/12/2025Just today we were talking about songs that are being played on the radio every year. How sad it is that the most recent of them is still several decades old. I also said that of all those I liked Chris Rea's "Driving Home for Christmas" most. Then I go home and have to read he has died... 000
windsaw.bsky.social @windsaw.bsky.social · 26/11/2025Linguists once voted "Habseligkeiten" as the most beautiful german word. It is a somewhat antiquated word for "belongings". I agree, it is a very beautiful word. People protested that "Liebe" ("love") should have been it. I disagree. It lacks the playfulness and charm. 100
windsaw.bsky.social @windsaw.bsky.social · 04/11/2025Okay: Strangest name ever of a band that I have listened to an album of: King Gizzard & the Wizard Lizard. The album was also a bit strange, which is one reason why I listened to it. Because it supposedly featured a song with each of the seven modes of the major scale, even Locrian! 100

windsaw.bsky.social @windsaw.bsky.social · 12/10/2025I realize that many think that in the old DnD alignment system, "true neutral" is basically the boring alignment. I disagree.

windsaw.bsky.social @windsaw.bsky.social · 11/10/2025I have just watched "Murder Drones". I'm afraid that by episode 5 I stopped caring what it was about and by episode 7 I was just watching stuff happening. Maybe I look up a source that will explain it all to me eventually. However, I have to applaud the production value and diligence. #murderdrones 010

windsaw.bsky.social @windsaw.bsky.social · 23/09/2025I just saw "Knights of Guinevere" and enjoyed it immensely.
