Who Is Anika Nilles? Meet Rush's New Virtuosic Drummer When Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson announced plans to reform Rush, they stunned fans by saying that German drummer Anika Nilles was joining the group.

I must say, it's magnificent. Different from the one in my box, so now I would tank them sort of alongside. I also listened to all his recordings of 5 and none of the others cut it in my opinion. So many visions for this piece.

Wow, it has "zing!" 😍

Often the early renderings of digital were poorly transferred to CD, and newer releases are much better. Don't ask me why. I work with sound. Something went wrong with the music industry's brains in the 80s.

The sound quality is immediately lower (first thing that hits me after a few bars) but it's nice and tight and moves at a good pace. I'll let you know 😜

Thanks I shall. I found the actual Bournemouth too, so now I'm curious to hear that.

I found online and it seems you're right. Well, either way, this one is my favourite.

I don't have the box anymore so I can't check. I only have the digital text.

It is indeed the Bournemouth version

No no, it's Bournemouth. I tried the others by him and wasn't as impressed

The Netherlands returns major fossil collection, including 'Java Man', to Indonesia The Netherlands said it would give back a major fossil collection to Indonesia, granting its former colony's request to recover historical artefacts, including bones of the "Java Man", the first known fossils of the Homo erectus species from which humans are believed to have evolved.

I've written a lot about how to design knowledge maps, but what about how to actually use them?

My favourite Sibelius 5, but I do wish there was a digital remaster of this. The recording is a bit distorted. Cc @loveinner.bsky.social @deeplyclassical.bsky.social

Fyi, I've studied this kind of signalling mathematically, as a phenomenon I call Virtual Motion. It's one of 3 major types of motion possible for discrete agents that I've been looking at for the past 10 yrs. I'd be happy to share if you're interested.

Yes, to prove it wasn't machine generated 😂

@mmylova.bsky.social I promised to send you something from here a while ago... ???

Found my old scalar electrodynamics notes in Landau DeWitt gauge to 2 loops .. 😅

Do they even make 45s anymore...?

Exceptional!
