Damn, and here I was thinking it was just another singer/songwriter with a uke. Wowzers, so glad I finally got around to listening to (and watching a little) this VIRTUOSO! Thank you! Virtuosity without abandoning musicality, my beloved. I was in Guitar Center today (selling guitars, didn't buy anything), and I was severely tempted by a Fender Fullerton Jazzmaster Ukelele. Oh well, maybe I'll get an Enya Moon 5-string Taimane Signature Ukelele after I make big Epstein Didn't Kill Himself Files Do Exist Bucks.

Lots of Luedji Luna. Lots and lots. And just a little extra.

Unholy carp, that hits hard. I don't usually listen to lyrics, but because of the title was intrigued enough, and ... I mean...just... Limerence was a very important word to me in the late 90's, as learning of its existence helped me to get over a girl. Learning there was a word for what I was feeling let me know that I wasn't alone in feeling it.

I just watched Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (season 1) over the last week...for free on YouTube. Back to studying...

Condolences. That's tragic and awful.

Not to be a party pooper, but isn't Prime Days a scam?

YouTube algorithm gave me this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0a3HdFyexE Preview render fail. Jazz Fusion It was awesome, so I looked up some of the others https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DimxQV6oCWI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmgGcE8vNPE ...which sent me down the Senri Kawaguchi rabbit hole (she's a jazz fusion drummer). I determined that she always associates with (chef's kiss) musicians, so I've been listening to a lot of her projects: Senri Kawaguchi Triangle, Jazz Avengers, et al. -- in addition to Nankai Trio. Antarctica will probably be my album of the year. I really love jazz fusion. EDIT: Oh, I fell down a different rabbit hole a while ago, while following the different acts that keyboardist Kiyomi Otaka from Casiopea was in. One of them was Kiyo*Sen, which was the two of them in a keyboard/drum collaboration.

(laughs in Clockwork Orange animated gif) LOLnope

This is lovely. And even I can hear what a clear recording this is.

I love Piazzolla, and was just starting to listen to some Nuevo Tango (or Tango Nuevo, I don't know which is more correct) the other day, but not familiar with that recording. Thanks for the rec.

Went to my previous abode to try to disassemble an Ikea desk. Failed. How humiliating.

Hear hear!

No-one's going to take me alive The time has come to make things right You and I must fight for our rights You and I must fight to survive... (Everyone barely contains themselves from headbanging)

Oof. Good point.

Not sure I disagree with this. I mean, I still hate Trump, but at least no-one in NATO is going to go to war to defend Iran.

I misread that as Israel attacked Lebanon News organization, Al Jazeera... I mean, c'mon, Israel, journalists are not the enemy!

Happy birthday, Kerry! (party favour noise) 🥳

Oh. 🥲

Brendel was my favourite interpreter of Schubert's solo piano music. Check out his Wanderer Fantasy. This is more of a class on Schubert, taught/curated by Brendel: The sun seems so cold here The blossom is withered Life is old And what they say is empty words: I am a stranger everywhere. Totes relatable.

Lots of 90's Yello. Visual representation with artistic license:

RIP Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, an innocent bystander shot and killed while peacekeepers were pursuing someone with an AR-15, at the No Kings rally in Salt Lake City. He was a beloved member of the community, and "dressed" some pretty famous people in the style of his Pacific Islander culture. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/man-killed-no-kings-protest-salt-lake-city-designer-ah-loo-rcna213296?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us
