I think Nintendo updates / refreshes hardware when their first party games hit the ceiling of the current hardware.

Sony and Microsoft generations go like every six or so, but the argument could maybe they could update performance by software updates and slight hardware iterations within the gen.

Ol' Dirty Bastard’s debut solo album ‘Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version’ was released 30 years ago today 🪪💿👐

If you're going to keep playing the Kennedy Center while claiming yourself as an ally, then this is the kind of active resistance you damn well better be prepared to engage in.

Way to go Guster. Gonna go listen to "Airport Song" and "Barrel of a Gun" in appreciation

A vague sepia-esque shot of looking at a bright light coming in a window through a net-like curtain. In the lower right hand corner, the quote by Deap Vally: “Heaven pull back the curtain in front of my eyes.” Original photo via the EyeEm service. No idea the artist, I fear.

Tomorrow: the latest episode of Widge's Sonic Emporium debuts on @louderthanwar.bsky.social Radio. 6-8pm ET/10pm-Midnight UK. There will be #Music. There will be mirth. There will be me mispronouncing words. Gonna be a party!

Season 2 seemed to be- from all I’ve read- a beast to produce. And really expensive. So it might be a little of both.

I’d imagine they’re trying to get the extra interest and views to increase the renewal chances. It’s sometimes a tell that maybe the show hasn’t quite reached whatever their internal metric Apple needed to justify the renewal from the initial rollout.

Hello. This one has new items from Preoccupations, HAIM, clipping, Sleigh Bells, Woodkid, among others plus some Peel Sessions. For flavor.

Also, the Xbox Network seems to have been down since mostly yesterday (2/19) afternoon.

That couldn't have been Avowed related, could it?

It also allows the vinyl records to serve a somewhat different purpose from the general cd / digital music collection. The things I want to have on vinyl should be longer form pieces because how I listen to those sorts of material is different from, say, randomly shuffling pop songs.

So movie & video game soundtracks / scores, hip hop instrumental albums, and covers records are the thing I'm trying to get more often on vinyl as opposed to just pop records. It makes the record collection more unique that way.

Just going through the music collection today in a rare moment home on a weekday. Two (re)discoveries:

First- Really should have more John Williams soundtracks. Working to correct.
Second- The first two Frank Black solo albums are tremendous. Especially Teenager Of The Year.

Well. There is no KDHX show this week — but I’ve made two fan-f-tastic shows for you to check out. Both are on Monday!

Antics is on Louder Than War Radio from 12-2 pm CT.

Also, the OMD Peel Sessions release looks interesting.

If the pattern holds up, then I'd imagine the Head On the Door Remaster will be released in the regular formats a few months after the RSD Picture Disc drops.

So, has The Weeknd's thing always been what if Castlevania but also Giorgio Moroder?

Saw the 50 Years of SNL Music doc, which was interesting.
No Replacements, though. Weird.

One small possible drawback is according to some support docs that “classic’ Office will not be updated. if so, you’d still be paying to not update Office.

Nope so far. The announced mystery game is Team Ninja + Platinum’s Ninja Gaiden 4.

IF Playground is in the mix for Fable, what are the chances the mystery game is Forza Horizon?
