I block, mute and curate my Twitter. It’s very pleasant now. The current owner will not be there forever and will change. It needs people on there who aren’t far-right crypto-loving wingnuts. It’s the only […]

Beautiful music. A video I have no wish ever to see again. The cognitive dissonance is horrible.

We have YouTube Premium for the family, so that’s the streaming music and ad free YouTube. I’ve completely forgotten adverts are a thing on YouTube. Why wouldn’t you?

Dr Sir Brian May, let us not forget.

What I’d recommend is a Google Chromecast Audio. Strictly second hand these days, but easy to use and does an excellent job at high quality too.

This probably leads to my being put out of this group in disgust. Don’t care, I think it’s lovely.

I bought summat a few months ago. Undoubtedly cheap and nasty but does the job… And it’s no longer available.

I didn’t find the field of DAB and MP3 player very broad […]

Seems to be often plain wrong.

In the trailer for the anti-vax "documentary" DIED SUDDENLY a video of Florida Gators basketball star Keyontae Johnson collapsing on the court is shown.

Johnson collapsed at a game on December 12, 2020, before vaccines were even available.

And he didn't die!#DiedSuddenly pic.twitter.com/2l80uCTirV

According to the specs here:

the A13 has no FM radio built in, and no app can make that happen.

TuneIn app would be usable, but requires data on your contract unfortunately.

There’s only one album like this for me.

At the right point in the autumn, on the walk home from work, I put on Out Of Season by Beth Gibbons/Rustin Man. Annual ritual ever since it came out.

It’s like a […]

There’s only one contender I know of as a truly great hidden track. 30 mins or so of silence at the end of Jarvis’s first solo album then this.

As true now as it ever was.

The S*n, in its ’90s glory days of subediting:

A Doctor Who fan was buried in a TARDIS coffin carried by his friends in appropriate cosplay.

“INTER ME, MATE”

At 53 I’ve suddenly realised Dylan is just my thing. It’s never too late.

See, this is what I fear. For me some artists are just great on comps. Controversially:

The Who (plus Who’s Next)
Led Zeppelin (plus IV)
The Lemonheads (the 2CD Laughing All The Way To The Cleaners is […]

I got the Girls Girls Girls comp (on cassette as opposed to the vinyl/CD/DAT versions, all of which are slightly different, look em up) and thought it was terrific. Still do.

I’ve never tried any of the […]

It’s Samsung then. They’re the best pure Android, non-iPadOS game in town.

Kindle Fire tablets are pretty easy to add the Google Play Store to.

Everything works apart from casting as far as I’ve found.

I think it’s a fantastic series. Not sure we learnt anything new but hearing the songs with bits broken down is magical.

And I think Rick Rubin does a superb job of largely just listening and asking the odd […]

The fact that they’ve done it, and for so long, even if they have reconnected with styles from years back whilst doing so, is good enough for me.

In the same vein of changing (or NOT changing) your sound over the years:

Can anyone name another act whose front man sings all those skyscraping melodies in exactly the same keys in their sixties as they did in […]
