Lot, a collection of shorts, by Bryan Washington. You can get a glimpse, and see what hooked me, from Navigation. https://longreads.com/2019/03/20/navigation/

If you were neither the parent of young children nor a connoisseur of animated musicals in 2013, it’s hard to explain the cultural force that was Frozen’s signature ballad. “Let It Go” was the perpetual soundtrack of children’s play dates, car rides, and birthday parties. It stalked your days and haunted your dreams. https://qz.com/quartzy/1576997/let-it-go-is-the-most-streamed-disney-song/

Thanks and now also just heard. Followed up by Lisa O'Neill's Heard a Long Gone Song

Where's the restart button?

“If it’s me and your granny on bongos, it’s the Fall,” the singer Mark E. Smith, who peremptorily hired and fired dozens of members of the Fall, once said. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/22/arts/music/band-name-reunions.html

You see Apollo 11 yet? Shrill here. Kinda wonderful in the One Mississippi vein.

As I may have helped pause this thread, a few shots from a recent Amsterdam trip to unpause. First two iPhone XR. Rest Fujifilm X-Pro2 with XF 35mm f/2.

Qobuz streaming officially came to the US on Valentine's Day. Anyone else giving the 30 day free trial a try? Like the background text info on releases, etc., though that can get in the way as a player occasionally. Seems to have more releases per artist, though some major artists missing in comparison in Tidal, though that could be simply my preferences. Handles high resolution (24/96-24/192) differently (no MQA). Seems to dislike using the word "album."

Happy belated Grahame!

Speaking of Zazz, listening to track four

Thanks everyone. Hope you’re all having a fine day with friends, family, holiday films, and/or Fairytale of New York & Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis on the headphones.

Hope it was a good birthday Ken.

If you get the Z6, make sure to get this Ikelite underwater housing (even if you never take it near water). It's gotta have special powers.

Mr. Norbert Schemansky. You sound like you were the man. "What Muhammad Ali and Joe Louis are to boxing, what John Grimek and Arnold Schwarzenegger mean to bodybuilding, and what Gordie Howe and Wayne Gretzky represent in hockey, Norbert Schemansky is to Olympic weight lifting." http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/09/10/sports/norbert-schemansky-dead.html
