Andy

😁 fantastic!

Megadeth, Rust in Peace came up on my 1001 album generator. I listened to it whilst replying to emails and it made me really focused. This has surprised me.

This is one of the best podcast interviews I've ever been a part of. Andy's done an amazing job. If you're interested in what my PhD is about, or thinking about new models for audience engagement, this is probably the single best place to start...

I never walk out of movies part way through, but very nearly did from motion nausea. Would definitely recommend seeing on a smaller big screen and sitting as far back as possible (if you get motion sick). It was really gripping. I think it was good. I tend to really like Greengrass films.

Saw #TheLostBus on a screen that was way too big for the movie. There is no let-up to the Paul Greengrass shaky cam, which adds to the urgent intensity. But on the x plus screen at
@showcasecinemasuk.bsky.social (the only option), a lot of it was an unwatchable messy blur.

Whoa, what a day. I have so much respect for the Euro players and everything they’ve put up with this weekend. Unbelievable resilience under pressure. It’s bad enough being watched teeing off by the group behind. I can’t imagine! US nearly pulled it off. Well done all (except some US fans) #rydercup

That’s true! And then speak with even more precision with his shot

Can you do that? It’s insufferable!

Love the Ryder Cup but finding this one a particular challenge to watch/listen to. It would be nice to have coverage that removes audience noise.

Sustaining Your Creative Practice (with Steve Lawson) Should the audience, as Rick Rubin suggests, "come last"? Or is there a more nuanced and sustaining question to explore instead?

I had a blast putting my conversation with @solobasssteve.bsky.social together. Among other things, we explore the problem with Rick Rubin's notion that "the audience comes last", and the impact of collective uninterrogated nostalgia on modern music making the-haven.co/audience-com...

Ok, while I’m here. Might as well.

I did

I might have just wondered into the oldest pub in the world, quite by chance.

Still beaming from my chat with @solobasssteve.bsky.social yesterday. We discussed using relational spaces around music/art to keep making/growing in meaningful/sustainable ways. I was recording it (with his consent). And I will share it on the podcast very soon (with his permission).

My running shorts split beyond repair this morning. I was a bit irritated but then realised I’ve been wearing them (not constantly) for 13 years. They’ve done pretty well really.

While the article does mention issues concerning the piggy backing on the movement started by a poem, it is also very dismissive of very important questions that are yet to be answered. Mel Robbins has done well to ignore and silence the truth (aka “her critics”) youtu.be/qQ_xip3l1io?...

Absolutely! Absolutely gripping.

Severance didn’t disappoint in the slightest. Unbelievably good. It exists in the same realm as Twin Peaks and The Prisoner for me. Doing something daring, interesting, and mysterious. No pandering 🐼

Yeah, he’s a cracker!

My first time with that album. Stewart Copeland’s drumming is out of this world! Such a joy to listen to.

I’ve got it on now - working to it. Not really my thing either. I am a bigger fan of trumpets than saxamaphones. Will check out today’s when I finish!

I'm still listening. It's a long album!

Haha yeah, 30 albums a month might be a little much! I’ve wanted to listen to new (to me) stuff too.

Yeah, I have listened to a bit of DE but not for a while! Good dinner prep music. There have been a lot of new ones for me including BB and THC! It’s been nice and horizon broadening!

Yes, that’s the one!

I’ve been loving it! So useful to have albums delivered without needing to think about it. Re: IN9 - absolutely! We will record our reaction right after but leave publishing until the run ends!

I think I’ve got my head around a cover version of Lilac Wine. It’s such a beautiful song. Nina Simone’s version has really brought it to life for me. Thanks to the 1001 Albums Generator!

I've been on quite a ride this week with the 1001 Album Generator. Motörhead, Bruce Springsteen, Doves, k.d. Lang, Kate Bush, The Prodigy, and The Kinks.

I came up with a cryptic clue while journaling this morning.

Beefy gripped by a long drink (one word, 5 letters).
