Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

🤪🥰🤣 Harrow is a completely different book, I didn't like it at first, but ... it's like Dark City -- it's a mystery, even to the main character. And even once you unravel the mystery, it's still a mystery how everything will turn out. They even have...oop, sorry, I will say no more. tl;dr: DEFINITELY give it another shot, I loved Harrow.

Scratch that, please feel free to discuss, I will block you both until I finish reading. (Nothing personal, just temporarily. I'm reading three books at the same time, so it's just going to take me longer. That said, I'm about halfway through.) I'm just feeling guilty about making such an ... entitled request. I will take it upon myself instead. @n_maher@en480c4

Funny thing, George R. R. Martin didn't finish the series, either. Ack, no spoilers please, I'm still reading the first half. But yeah, thoroughly enjoying. As much as the first two.

You mean, besides Castle?

Thanks again YT algorithm friends with similar tastes in music, keep them coming.

I enjoyed that album so much, I bought it. I agree, it's not holistic, but who cares? This is the music I absolutely worship. This is right up there with Sonicbloom-era Hiromi, in my book.

Thanks -- I also looked on their website, and realized, I'm more of a thick-skinned / retains-shape beans guy, so ordered a couple different bags of blacks and the like. I will follow the directions for cooking -- they do look like more of a pre-soak long-term thing, so I will have to precook them before adding them to my goulash or chili, and maybe only cook them in-recipe for the last hour or so. And yeah, I've done that, and recently.

So these are dry, but not dehydrated? You don't have to presoak them or anything?

That's too bad, I thought it more than made up for my memory of the parts of seasons 2 and 3 that I had issues with. And the setup for the final season was perfect. Speaking of shows that push boundaries, have you ever watched Legion? I'm totally enthralled, but haven't finished yet, so no spoilers, please, but please feel free to gush about the style -- absolutely amazing.

Have you watched Westworld Season 4 yet?

Was: Leonard Bernstein: Rhapsody in Blue/An American in Paris -- new mastering https://tidal.com/browse/album/248996576 Is: Hilary Hahn, Eclipse https://tidal.com/browse/album/251357930 Will be: Alvvays, Blue Rev https://tidal.com/browse/album/247460408

LOL, we used to watch that all the time as a family -- those are his brothers -- the Jimmy Carter looking one was named...uh...Jimmy? Thank you for putting that image in my head, I'mma gonna have to share that one with my sisters.

New remaster

Here here! I agree. An absolute masterpiece. Might I also recommend, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso | Orlando: Le Forme dell'Amore?

New Haelos track (nice return to form): https://tidal.com/browse/track/247388928 New Snarky Puppy! https://tidal.com/browse/album/228999248 New Keith Jarrett! https://tidal.com/browse/album/250019473 And this track still slays me -- both guitar solos and the build on both the song and her vocals...just... I can't even... https://tidal.com/browse/track/69200944

First of all, never boring talking about your favourite music and your English is fine. Secondly -- I agree with you about cathedrals or churches! I saw Árstíðir in a church (and I didn't burst into flame!), the acoustics were rich and lush and just delicious!

Happy birthday, Jim! (party favour noise)

New Nils Frahm -- Sounds for Animals 3+ hours of music, that all sound vaguely like sequels to "Says" that aren't meant to sound like sequels, so aren't. I'm in heaven!

v10044g50000cci4dvbc77u70ve25n5g.mp4 Remember Be forewarned: I'm the guy who thinks the baby-burping machine is the height of hilarity.

I love her so much. I used to sing along with her so much, I could probably cover Winter Kills, All Cried Out, This House (except I need to work on those high "oo-oo"'s) and...uh...I forget the fourth one. I have everything from Steal Me Blind through Where Hides Sleep memorized, is probably any of those. It's always 4 songs -- 4 by Black Sabbath, 4 by Blue Oyster Cult, 4 by Golden Earring...yeah yeah I know, my boomer is showing. 🤪

The ones on the left look like finger peppers. I have no idea what the ones on the right are: https://www.pepperscale.com/round-peppers/ Also: noice! A man after my own heart. ALL THE PEPPERS! Gotta try 'em all...

Afghan Whigs, How Do You Burn? -- freakin' excellent! Rawx! Now I need to go back and relisten to the last couple albums, don't think I've listened to anything by them since 1965.

Currently: New Beth Orton EP Yesterday: new Toehider -- freakin' fantastic! Single track album. Proggers, give this a listen. Also, new Holy Fawn (Shoegaze/metal) -- been waiting for this forever, newest favourite band. Vocals are more buried than any human body has ever been before. They have multiple reverb pedals (one guitarist has two; another has three), so it's expansive beyond measure.
