Should anyone care, this account is dormant - I’m now at @leewardmister.bsky.social
Huh, Lars Gotrich had the same problem
Loved this - put some skin in the game.
In some moods, it's my favourite of hers; the ethereal setting turned slightly down, hints of jazz to come, finishing strong with two stone cold classics. Sometimes I even don't skip Big Yellow Taxi.
Is it a trick of me being old that 50 Words For Snow still feels like a new album?
I'd say I'd re-listen to check, but that would involve me re-listening.
Funny, I don't hear Sting *at all*. I hear someone filling the Jai Paul niche.

A recent Pratchett production announced the arrival of every footnote with twinkling/magical sound FX. If you could physically hurl an audiobook...
Never thought I'd get to 50 and be concerned about rune farming.

Surely to God, Holland's playing Telemachus?
English Teacher, on the other hand
Yes to this. Especially eye rolling at the claims that background playlists are “eroding critical culture”.
Excited to test the potential of this toothache. I'm not yet permenantly screaming, so there's some way to go!
Oh yes, what a reading that is.

Can't pretend I'm not tickled that this is from Wales.

Day 21
Her sound world expanded, but the spell it cast had lost none of its power:

Looking at Kraven the Hunter and Lord of the Rings: The War of Whatever cratering at the box office, as well as the buzzless, yawny response to Dune: Prophecy, and thinking that audiences could not make their indifference to the "extended" part of Extended Universes clearer if they screamed it.
Have you read Karla’s Choice yet? (I know it doesn’t *count* per se, just curious)
Something I was thinking about in connection with the most recent Herb Sundays: herbsundays.substack.com/p/herb-sunda...
I'm sure they don't care, but it's interesting that Sault released a whole damn album to YouTube and, AFAICT, received hardly a single mainstream review. It's one of their best records!

Trent Rezno? OK, so be it. Trent Rezno.

Day 20
Sweaty 90s revivalist electronica that stood in for our lack of an actual summer, and also the track that most frequently has me reaching to turn off a phantom alarm (listen to the end)
Fewer hoodies, for a start

Day 19 (just...)
This track had no business whatsoever being as good as this. None.
