It was either that or paint it orange and put a giant MAGA hat on top.

I didn't know that Reba was a Siberian. I have nothing to say about that except that you're making me wonder about our of-unknown-breeding girl. 🙂

Liked this a lot, but it was gone so fast that I'm not sure I saw all the episodes that do exist. www.imdb.com/title/tt0115...

My brain keeps wanting to riff on, "And here's to you, Tyler Robinson." Bad brain. Evil brain.

I assume "sot" stands for "some odious troll"; the "bs" is obvious.

It depends...maybe the shooter was aiming for an ear.

Nobody warned him to avoid playing in Traffic. 🙂

Black cat appreciation day...as if it didn't happen every day.

YouTube video by Out Of Order 2 Jackson Browne - 'Soundstage', Chicago, Illinois, November 6, 1976

I watched a Jackson Browne concert from 1976 and liked two things separate from the actual music:
- Most of his songs have many lines that could spawn whole other songs
- Playing fiddle, lap steel, or Telecaster, David Lindley sounds exactly like David Lindley

A good friend died recently and, on top of the immediate sorrow, I'm reminded of another who died less than two years ago.

It's said that your memory keeps a part of the the ones you've lost alive. Unfortunately, there's a corollary: their death also kills the part of you that lived in them.

Touch-typing is a goal for many. 😇

I've been intentionally misreading "venal insufficiency" just for the cheap laugh.

A previous cat here learned that the sound of a flushing toilet had a good chance of waking people early. We spent the rest of his life reminding each other to close that door at bedtime.

I frequently feel as if that man should be prevented from using adjectives. I know it's not much, but it would be a start.

As bands go, Strawbs were an unpredictable bunch. I don't know as much of their music as I should, but some of the early/mid 70s albums were favourites.

I've read that Dave Cousins just died.

1969 was a long time ago, or maybe just yesterday.

Think of the savings! Before AI, the designers would have had to drink about a 12-pack each to come up with that.

My attraction to ABC (actually, ABCPlus) was wanting to produce fakebook-style lead sheets, but finding GUI-based notation software tedious. It's a task where just typing a letter or two is more efficient for me than selecting and positioning things visually.

Are You Listening? Season 4 - YouTube Professional mastering engineer and iZotope Education Director Jonathan Wyner works with GRAMMY-winning mix engineer and Berklee professor Enrique Gonzalez M...

I've spent time in the past few days watching a series of videos about audio mixing. The most appealing thing is the high-level reasoning behind mixing decisions: start with "why" before diving into "how".
(They do feature specific plugins, but don't push too hard.)

I didn't get interested in emacs until I started writing songs. It has an abc-mode add-on that helps with a file format for representing music as text and can trigger external command line programs for MIDI or Postscript conversion.

So sorry. Having lost a sweet little grey fur-girl to cancer in 2019, I know it's horrible.

In case somebody needs to be reminded of the words.

I can't help but wonder what would have happened if he'd had his own security guards. (Not saying he should have, just wondering.)

Oh, good, we're heading for a real-world orgasmatron.

The interview statement makes "criminal element" and "good people" sound like NPC roles, or maybe visible labels.

I use BiaB on almost everything non-demo, but it might be hard to tell.
1. My main use of it is as a more-friendly metronome.
2. I avoid its "Real Tracks" stuff entirely.
3. I edit any MIDI that I use pretty much beyond recognition to get the timing and harmonic content I actually want.

YouTube video by The Charismatic Voice First Time Hearing Linda Ronstadt's "Desperado" And Holy Eagles!

Another vocal analysis video from The Charismatic Voice and -- surprise -- she's listening to Linda Ronstadt again. It's a lovely mix of information, gushing, and awe.
