My #AOTY2025 list is done. There were 21 albums/EPs released this year that I liked enough to buy.
Kicking things off at number 21 is The Mechanics of Mysticism by Ether Diver. This is a really interesting (and quite fun) electronic/ambient/experimental album from fellow fedi-denizen @nprofile…0jfq

Quite enjoying this EP so far.

After being into photography for 20 years, I’m finally getting around to buying photo books. This is my 2nd - Alex Webb’s The Suffering of Light.

I’ve seen a few folks mention Blood Incantation, who I hadn’t heard of. I’m listening to the first few “preview” tracks off their upcoming album. Perhaps it’s the bourbon speaking, but holy fuck it’s good.

Tonight's movie: Dark City
It has been ages since I watched this. I remember when The Matrix first came out I was a bit underwhelmed by the trailers because it looked like it had stolen a lot of its tone from Dark City

@npub1q0f…rdcz I only found out a couple of days ago (after watching U Turn) that Oliver Stone wrote Conan.

@npub1q0f…rdcz lol
I think I have it on dvd - currently in a box in the garage.
I was going to say you can have it, but maybe I should sell it on eBay, lol

2024-08-11 14:11:51 GMT

Furiosa was better than I expected. Not quite up to either Fury Road or The Road Warrior, but certainly better then Thunderdome.
(I don't really know how to rank the first Mad Max against the rest of the franchise because it's such a different and weird film)

@npub1q0f…rdcz I get ravenously hungry for protein after lifting heavy, and I’m neither young nor adding much muscle mass these days.
(20 eggs is still a lot, lol)

@npub1q0f…rdcz I assume by “gym” you mean he’s lifting? Like, 20 eggs is a lot, sure, but he’s young and if he’s putting on muscle he’s going to be craving protein

@npub1q0f…rdcz is it weird that this makes perfect sense to me?

2024-07-27 23:39:20 GMT

Last night I watch LOTR The Two Towers, Mandy, and the first half of Cabaret.
My dreams were…. weird.

@npub1q0f…rdcz I suppose it depends on your criteria. I find it incredibly boring to play, boring to watch. Which is weird because I like F1 and Olympic weightlifting

The penny only just dropped that David Duchovny plays Denise in Twin Peaks. I only noticed because I had it on in the background and recognised his voice.
I have no idea how I've missed this across multiple previous viewings. It does explain some things....

I left twitter in 2016 and have been rampantly anti-social-media since. I use Instagram for music photography because it’s where the bands are, but I never liked it much.
Joining metalhead.club has been so refreshing. It’s like the early days of twitter, except way better because it’s all about music.
The only downside is that I’m exposed to too much new music, and I feel like I need to slow down and appreciate albums more. A good problem to have, though :)
Thanks for being awesome, mhc
