What is a song....

No... I could only understand Portrait of Young Artist, which I read in high school. Think I tried venturing into another, and Ulysses (impenetrable, though I know you're doing a read...listened to one, but not sure I have it in me rn to continue), and assumed the rest was out of my ability to enjoy.

Dubliners good/simple enough?

Ok. Adding to mental list. Been meaning to read a very short (unrelated to this convo) story, called I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream. Maybe I'll find audio and listen on my walk. May not be ideal material though, as it's a very dark horror about AI gone rogue and tormenting humans, from what I've gathered

Burmese days is a book, it seems. Haven't read. Was thinking about the hanging short story though, that was a good one. I really like the Freedom of Press eaasy (see linked note), though I'd read it prior to listening to the collection.

I enjoyed his reviews/take-downs of famous authors quite a bit. Talk about a good reviewer! 😮‍💨

Can't think of any single essays now, probably need to reread them all (audio) sometime soon. I was constantly impressed by his insight and writing skill though.

As far as music, it's all over the place, but last set of stuff I've been digging was Luigi Tozzi, Claudio PRC, Rrose, ERP, VC-118A, Pontiac StreatorLeafar Legov, Tim Man...based on quick skim of recent-ish plays

I'm sorry for that. Just finished end of mix 43, then all of the new one, 44. Wish I had an easier way to flag tracks that stand out in my Spotify. Searching around is a pain...is there a good music identification app, like Shazam, that I should start using? I should have thought of this sooner!

As for Orwell, I can't remember the names of any, so lemme look them up a bit and get back to you in a moment

Ok, nobody is gonna post today, eh? Fine, fuck it, we'll do it live!

Let's see... it's been a decent year, standard start, but some good stuff in the latter half, with promising trajectory into the new year, going on with work.

What else...? Been listening to more electronic music again, which is cool.

Read a good number of books. A stand out was the collection of Orwell Essays, highly recommended. There was also a math/philosophy book that I found incredible, but it's limited appeal and a bit technical to recommend.

Bitcoin, while ending flat-ish is doing its thing, keeping a price level you can't really be mad at. I am starting to strongly believe some type of price suppression or paper BTC shenanigans are afoot. Will Saylor be the next "big hero" to fall? Leaning that way, seems a sacrifice is always needed, though they usually precede bears, don't they? Fak!

That's all I got. Shouldn't send, but nobody will see anyway.

Nice one man, think I’ll drop this just after xm055. Have a good one sir!

humour is so important in photography imo

Backed a copy of The Eastenders Rap yesterday, this is what winning looks like. 🤣

You good?

Good morning!

Much the same here, a few years back I was listening to podcasts in all my free time. Way less so now. On the plus side, it means I'm listening to more music, which is obviously useful and generally better for my mood (currently listening to The Bare Sounds Project, it's very good!).

Sometimes I listen to pods to help me get to sleep, easier to deal with other voices in my head other than my own, I can't use music as I'm always analysing something in the sound. Not sure if there's a single pod I'd recommend but I do check RHR most weeks for an overveiw on BTC and started working through the archive of Discovering Bitcoin after guesting there the other day, it's cool how he's interveiwing non-standard guests doing the Podcast Industrial Complex circuit. Still digging Blindboy and have a soft spot for Alexei Sayle.

Can't say I am to be honesty although have a couple of Mark E Smith collaborations (Tackhead and Coldcut). I should take a dive, clearly influenced a few people I really dig.
