The hook on Stogie T's Clean Stuff

I am not a fan of 10 year anniversary releases of albums, but Nick Hakim really delivered something great with his 10 year anniversary release of Where Will We Go.

His new release packages 10 new recordings of his demos and rehearsal from around the time he was working on Where Will We Go pt 1 and Where Will We Go pt 2. I feel like these recordings are effectively Where Will We Go pt 3.

While new additions in 10 year anniversary releases by most artists allow you to hear why the variations of the songs didn't make the album, Where Will We Go pt 3 feels very much different. It feels like he is sharing the songs he was busy with while crafting the sound that is heard through the Where Will We Go series. Normal 10 year releases give you mixed and mastered songs that didn't make the album... Where Will We Go pt 3 gives you "unplugged", and unmixed recordings from what the acoustic suggest is where he used to live.

The aesthetic of the rough quality of recording of these demos had actually made it on the initial releases of the Where Will We Go series. As can be heard on songs like Heaven, Sleep and the last two minutes of Pour Another.

This aesthetic was paired well with the polish of the initial releases. And hearing the demos helps one understand how well they actually polished some of the songs, like I Don't Know and The Light. Songs that even in their demo form still sound great to listen to, the addition of the extra instruments on the electric guitar solos just makes the initial releases extra special.

Where Will We Go pt 3 is an easy listen because it sounds like you in the room while a seminal project is getting put together. And the decision to put the demo records at the start of the tracklist instead of at the end, like they usually do with 10 year anniversary releases that don't have any new flare to share, made this feeling more evident.

A fan of the initial releases can enjoy the demos and eventually hear the versions of the songs the know and love, while being introduced to some of the songs/ideas that didn't make it on the initial release.

Hearing a song with the vocal delivery like Chorch and harmonies of Fly High will have you wondering why and how these did it not make the initial release. These songs are surely getting sampled in a few years by your favourite rappers favourite rapper.

The only bad thing I have to say about this 10 year anniversary release is that it would appear the limited edition vinlyn doesnt include Where Will We Go pt 3. Why would he go and not include these on vinyl??????????

On my desk, I need it, now.

Isn't part of the experience with first class that you don't get to hear as much noise coming from the engines as people in the back or closer to the engines.

Seating which is most likely to survive in a crash depends on how the plane makes impact... and that is determined by the pilot (who may want to increase their own survival rate by crashing with a sufficient pitch)... or the hijacker.

But anyway, I thought you were gonna try optimise the seating for other reasons when I started reading the tweet, like that one CGP grey video.

No direct links to the apps available on zap store?

Once upon a time I was exploring different linux distros on a monthly basis. It was magical to me that you could even switch between compatible desktop environments on the same installation.

Eventually I found a desktop environment that worked wonders for me and my workflow. But since I wanted to keep exploring I wondered if I could install a desktop environment that was "incompatible" with the flavours I was using. I think KDE installations aren't compatible with GTK distros or something like that. I was throughly within the woods of desktop environments, where the tutorials on how to do the installation required imagination, and I was loving it. Only to discover that I wasn't skilled enough to not completely rekt my laptop with yet another attempt to fly too close to the sun.

Wrecking the laptop is not an issue... It actually taught me more about how computers work then anything else. The first computer I recked was originally running windows 98 and I deleted files in the system32 folder to make space for a few more Kanye and Common albums on the hard drive, don't delete system32. I managed to get a copy of Windows XP SP3 installed to fix it and eventually got a bigger hard drive because Kanye was in his prime and I had to dissect the releases.

The big issue I had with wrecking my linux laptop was that I don't remember the name of my preferred flavour of linux desktop environment because I was in the very fringe distros at that point. One day when I'm not too lazy I'll probably search for it again.

False alarm on the phone. But definitely getting a new laptop in a few months.

Since posting this note both the phone and laptop decided to be functional again.

I may still replace the laptop because I do need younger horsepower on the compute.

Looks like I may be in need of a new phone and laptop.

Fueled by Ramen was and still is a mantra.

Reflection Eternal is most definitely a classic. Bitcoin definitely has a long way to go to match these level of craft.

This beat is crazy! 2000s rap music was just on some other realm of creativity.

This is what tells me Bitcoin has a long way to go with regards to what can me done.

I'm suffering from a severe case of every idea I have is executable.

Can we not abstract this away from the user? What's the default?

All the Nostr logic has been moved to a web-worker and rewritten in go-wasm.

The UI thread only job is to render what the worker is sending it, notes that are already parsed, filtered, decoded etc...

The web worker is acting like a local server.

This is the way.

If my tiredness wasn't worn out I would be exhausted right now.

It's really weird how hard it is to recognize a problem whose impact is slightly altered only by a flip of a coin, while the problem successfully self propagates.
