RIP any music with bass

They're so great. Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, I don't know how to game Tidal's recommendations. I listen to a lot of shit because of one prog Discord server which is very slanted towards metal which skews my recommendations towards metal that I don't want to listen to. All I can recommend is to ignore their recommendations, and find an alternate source (MPR?) for your new music releases to which to listen. I am fortunate in that I have an imaginary friend on Discord that has VERY similar tastes to me (including Hiromi, Sheena Ringo/Tokyo Incidents, and Casiopea!).

I've been immersing myself in Quantum Computing so have been listening to The New Quantum Era.

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

How are you not fat?!?

Okay, well, you should give it a listen, it's a great -- if schizophrenic -- album.

Oh, but I think you are: she wrote all the songs on Nick Mason's Fictitious Sports.

Am I the only one that sees that and thinks of the Ever Given?

Aw, condolences.

I love this. Low-key hate the thumbnail, but I do appreciate his judgemental tone towards zoomers more recent peoples trying to take ownership of the term.

It's not as concise.

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

Have you ever heard Liza Minelli's version? She really owns it.

...any more than it knows how to anatomy.

Been staying home for the past couple days to do a coding challenge today. So today was rice day, apparently -- Right Rice, and Uncle Ben's, both Spanish rice varieties. (Not my usual super-spicy comfort food, but super-easy on the stomach, which is what I was looking for.) The downside is, I'm super hungry, but it's late enough that I don't want to eat big.

https://album.link/v7bntbzrkbv2k A most unsearchable name (The Path by Light), but kinda awesome! Mostly orchestral (not "symphonic"), mostly instrumental progressive music. Recommended to fans of Mike Oldfield, Philip Glass, pastoral classical music.

Looks like Snoop Dogg...with a Willie Nelson wig and funny lighting and exposure to make him look pale. Unrelated:

Oh, that's not even the real nightmare. https://medium.com/@andrew_johnson_4/applications-of-large-language-models-in-medical-diagnoses-e0d3a113b3bc I mean, those photos and videos are fun and benign, compared to THAT.

It makes me think of that scene in one of the Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson where Half-cocked Jack needs to make phosphor out of piss, so he distills it. (crickets) Just me?

I'm not financially supporting vandalism!

Unrelated: new Hiromi! I love the little headbobs.

My other favourite DJ played an all-shoegaze night the other night, and I was reminded how much I love shoegaze. Besides Slowdive, I'm also particularly fond of Life On Venus and Gleemer.
