I thought that it was just the stylus that my kid broke on my turntable. The record player sat idle for years as a result. I bought an upgraded stylus, which arrived today. However, after re-situating items in my setup to connect the ‘table, and pulling a crate of records out of storage, I learned the drive belt was wrapped around the gears in the mechanism under the platter. Unwinding the belt and returning it to its proper position was too little, too late.
Watching Big Brother, tonight. I have never seen such a meltdown and so many tears so early in the season.
That feeling when you read an article on any topic that can be summarized with the statement “Still, nobody knows.”
DNC better come in hot with real alternatives
Recoil’s Want - The Architect Mixes were released in 2010, but are still available for download. The 24-bit WAV files are amazing. There is a video set to the first track, but I haven’t found that for download, yet. The lyrics were my introduction to Nicole Blackman.
EBN - Electronic Behavior Control System — For those who appreciate a little commentary with their beats. Though the track was composed circa 1995, and the video clips and technology come from another era, it still hits.
Currently reading: The Black Bird Oracle by Deborah Harkness 📚
The All Souls series is the first I have been excited about in a very long time. Going to dig in to this one tonight. Witches, Vampies, Demons. No zombies—at least none that I recall in the first four books.
A lot of my physical music collection features notches and drilled holes. I don’t care. Get it any way you can. Right?
Tonight’s niche pick is Round the Outside! Round the Outside! by Malcolm Mclaren and The World Famous Supreme Team Show, which I rescued from a cut-out bin in the early 90s. I especially enjoy two tracks: Buffalo Gals II (Remix) and Un coche de agua negra.
Alas, my Series 4 Apple Watch and my 2019 MacBook Air are not going to get the next OS releases this fall. Everything else is rolling forward and I will have to think about what eventually will get replaced or recycled.
