Every so often you need to listen to on of the truly awe inspiring records of the century - I'm giving serious consideration getting back into joining _another_ music logging app so I can say how much I love it youtu.be/ZcSFp7T47ng?...

Rather than pop songs, what the supermarkets should really be playing over the PA is longform, slowly developing drone and sound collage kind of stuff because shoppers would stay in the supermarket to find out what the sound does next, and during that time they’d buy additional stuff.

"i will face god and walk backwards into hell" is a dril quote that people keep mistaking for serious literature but "that's how it is on this bitch of an earth" is a fucking beckett line that i consistently keep thinking is dril

One for the literature chat but does anything happen in this book? I've read the first quarter and it seems just to be the unreliable diary entries of an unpleasant Romanian teacher in the late 70s Bucharest and I am unsure if I fancy 400+ more pages of it

Soul music at the end of the 60s was at a crossroads, should Gaye bear witness to hatred, suffering, and injustice and explore themes of drug abuse, poverty, and the Vietnam War on What's Going On or do get to grips with issues regarding Alliums first? He chose wisely youtu.be/yZrQoUswZ-o?...

I gasped! The Mighty Sparrow has left us. One of the most important and popular Calypsonians to ever do it! Songs filled political fire, irreverence, humor, naughty (very, very naughty) banter, and beats that make you wind your waist! Rest in Power, Sparrow. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/a...

The Mighty Sparrow, Trinidadian Titan of Calypso, Is Dead at 91

He was sometimes described as the last of the true calypso singers. But in fact he simultaneously preserved calypso tradition and invented it anew.

Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.

Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

A sorta odd request. I’m looking for an artistic cartographer or an illustrator to commission to make a cute, useful street map of an actually existing village. Searching the internet produces a bunch of fantasy map specialists and AI slop, which isn’t quite it. Know anyone? (This is paid, ofc.)

I read that and immediately thought of The Fall so here's why I think Adorno would like them more than Jazz: 1. NOT American 2. Until ~1980 most Fall members were non-Stalinist leftists like him 3. All Marxist cultural critics love MES lyrics with Grotesque being adored in K-Punk
