Amazing! Anne Carson has been my hero for the last 20+ years, since I first picked up her translation of Sappho’s fragments ‘If Not, Winter’ as a science undergrad, which led to me going into Classics and grad school. My only claims to fame are that I once rode an elevator with her, and that she answered an email of mine…

- Fever Ray - The Lake / Wrong Flower EP
- Ladytron - Paradises
- Magda Drozd - Divided by Dusk

They want to buy physical books at a wholesale rate + then have them as an add-on for their Kickstarter campaign (for an e-ink word processor).

Though I used to play my vinyl collection all the time, I now err on the side of not playing weird music out loud so I don't bother my doggo, but that has essentially turned into me never playing my records and only playing stuff on my laptop quietly or on headphones. Like, I have a big stack of albums that has accumulated over the last couple years, all records that have never been touched because I can't find a good time to play them. I think I need to re-condition doggo to loud weird stuff...

What's the best thing to do with a large digital music library that I don't have room for on my laptop but still want easy access to so I can play it? I've been dragging music files from laptop to laptop to play using iTunes but my current laptop currently has only 10GB free and music is the main culprit (~200GB). I sort of assume removing those files from my laptop will remove them from my iPod when it syncs(?), and that's my only other music playing/storage device.

LB: "'What streaming service should I use instead of Spotify?' is a question I’ve been seeing constantly...Here’s my contrarian answer: What if there’s no ethical way to have unlimited access to every book, film + record ever created? ...what if that’s not something we should want? ...What if, instead of having an on-demand consumer mindset that requires us to systematically strip art of all its human context, we developed better relationships w/ creators + built new structures to support them?”

Saw a toot w/ a photo taken in Finland that looked very much like something I saw in Seyðisfjörður, Iceland (my photo below). Turns out the sculptures are by the same artist, Lukas Kühne, and they've also done ones in Estonia + Japan. Also found an article on the one I saw, and I'm just tickled. I love the Fediverse.
(Extra fun fact: The entrance into the town of Seyðisfjörður is the road Ben Stiller's character skateboards down in Walter Mitty.)

now the use of lists is apparently a distinguishing factor in spotting AI slop?!
-yeah
-no
-some of the earliest surviving written texts we have are fucking lists
-AI can fuck off into the sun

Me suddenly deciding to change what side I part my hair on at the age of 42 is giving big mid-life crisis vibes.

My reading chair is directly in the line of sight of the public sidewalk, so when I see people going around door to door for whatever reason, I go hide in the kitchen and sit on the floor there instead until I'm sure said people are out of range, like a perfectly normal person would.

I’m waiting in a walk-in medical clinic and they’re playing Xmas music. Hell help me.

The last two days the air was super gross because the fog was trapping in pollution. It's cleared up as of last night with the snow but I just remembered I made a playlist a couple years ago called 'Dirty Air' and am now listening to it. Hoping it doesn't bring the pollution back, because it's a great playlist, lol.

Bah, the Henry Rollins/Ian MacKaye thing isn't actually a collab:
"I think I need to clear something up. Last week I told you that I went up to DC and mixed some tracks with Ian MacKaye at Inner Ear Studios in beautiful Arlington, VA. The tracks we mixed were not a collaborative effort, besides the mixing itself. I am not on the tape. Ian is not on the tape. Neither of us are on the tape."

@nprofile…vs9y Oh I could talk my face off answering that, there's a bunch of reasons! I went a handful of times over a short period, first because I had a fashion blog and I went to meet some people/do some stuff around that. Then I essentially 'found' myself there, it's the only place I felt I could truly be/understand myself. Was the 1st place I travelled on my own, and it was a cool feeling being able to navigate by myself and disappear for a while. I got to see some really cool shows. Etc. etc.

@nprofile…vs9y having caught a glimpse of what it would feel like, i've fantasized about it quite often. i would've happily moved there, pre-current political reality.

Thinking about one of my favourite places in the world today, photo from the last time I was there, almost exactly 12 years ago.

Listening to a Florence + the Machine album for the first time (Everybody Scream) and, geez, "One of the Greats" sure doesn't pull any punches.

Okay, another place to waste my time on. A couple things I don't like but seems more useful than album whale...

This is a rather stellar year for new albums.

When a favourite record has artwork you absolutely loathe.

Mastodon's list function makes coming back from an internet break sooooo much nicer. On other social media I used to feel the need to catch up on everything I missed and would sit and scroll forever once I got back. But here I feel caught up in like 5 minutes.

Working on my latest listening grid and, geez, I sure am grateful for Mastodon/Fedi and the music community here. :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

New Donny McCaslin album released yesterday! The band members are a bit different across the tracks but most still have Jason Lindner and Tim Lefebvre from the Blackstar lineup, and Mark Guiliana is behind the drum kit for one song (Nate Wood and Zach Danziger rotate for the other tracks).

A few days ago I mentioned I felt like I was doing Mastodon wrong and that I often got the urge to delete my account. After that, I set up some lists for alternate timelines, based on what I thought future me would find helpful when that feeling came up again...which was today. Scrolling my regular timeline even with all my filters was making me anxious. So, decided to test drive my "kindred spirits" list with <40 people in it (yes, of course you're included) and, ahhhh, that's nice. :acat_bop:

In honour of @nprofile…prpj 's most recent musical journey, starting my day with some Soundgarden (or, perhaps, a lot of Soundgarden...). Btw, "Beyond the Wheel" is one of the greatest songs to ever exist. I have spoken.

And, on that note, next up is R.F. Kuang's Babel, sure hope I don't hate it. :catroll:

It's weird how much it bothers me when I don't like a novel that is otherwise highly regarded. I don't care at all when my tastes differ for music, TV/movies, art, even if not a single person shares my opinions on those. But when it happens for books that are considered great by people whose tastes I would otherwise agree with, I can't help but assume there's something wrong with me and I'm not intelligent enough to get it. :blobugh:

Not sure how being online less is better when my offline consists of reading Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower followed by an episode of Andor.

The fact that nachos are named after a Mexican maître d' named Ignacio Nachos Anaya who quickly made something random when some American army wives who had crossed the border for a day of shopping showed up after the kitchen had already closed makes me sort of depressed for some reason.
