Just axed my Disney+ account.
If Disney thinks killing Jimmy Kimmel’s show is a smart move, they can choke on the money they’re bleeding from subscribers like me.

Norwegian Prog/Metal Band LEPROUS Covers "Take On Me" On The Spot
YouTube video by Musora Norwegian Prog/Metal Band LEPROUS Covers "Take On Me" On The Spot

Norwegian prog masters Leprous covering A-ha’s timeless β€œTake On Me”?
Yes. It exists, and It’s glorious.
It touched some strings of my memories, evoking the good old days of my teenage years.

Taylor Swift's $2 Billion tour revenue... for miming?
YouTube video by Wings of Pegasus Taylor Swift's $2 Billion tour revenue... for miming?

Fil from Wings of Pegasus proved it: Taylor Swift mimed rather than singing on her tour.
More than concerts those were ballets.
Dave Grohl was right and he's now grinning somewhere.

Angry Metal Guy Speaks: On Spotify Who's using Spotify now and who's not? And why?

Spotify isn’t just bad for artists. It’s bad for the world.

It underpays creators, manipulates payouts, and now its CEO is funding AI-powered military tech.

Still feel good about that monthly fee?

It’s not about vinyl vs CD.
It’s not about analog vs digital.
Whatever you choose, it’s about listening consciously.
About paying artists what they deserve.
About investing in something you love, something you can hold, see, hear… forever.
Own your music. Don't just rent your memories.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard join Spotify exodus over arms industry link Australian psychedelic rock group announces it will pull its music from streaming service in protest against CEO Daniel Ek

Spotify is investing your subscription money in the military-industrial complex, funding instruments of war.
I'm struggling to see what this has to do with #music.
Maybe it's time to reconsider your subscription.

Streaming serves the industry giants. It strips ownership from listeners and fair compensation from artists.
Buy physical music. Support real art. Resist the algorithm.

I'm tired of hearing β€œvinyl is dying” or β€œCDs are dead”.
These are just narratives pushed to steer us toward streaming, #music we don’t own, tied to monthly fees, locked behind algorithms designed to favor platforms, not people.

– Because artists should be recognised and rewarded, not drowned in a stream and robbed.
- Because listening to an album should be a conscious choice, not a calculated shuffle from an algorithm

Why I still love collecting and listening to music on vinyl and CDs:
– Because I want to own the music medium as a piece of art, not lease it with a monthly fee.
– Because purchasing and listening to an album deserves to be a desired event, not background noise.

U.S. Presses French Companies to Comply With Trump’s Anti-Diversity Policies A letter from the American Embassy in France gave firms that do business with the U.S. government five days to indicate their agreement.

The U.S. anti-DEI crackdown is trying to spread like a virus, infecting French companies with its regressive policies. What starts as a local outbreak now threatens European values, forcing compliance through economic pressure.

by Philip Glass from #bandcamp.
I discovered #PhilipGlass #music in the 80', with #Koyyanisqatsi soundtrack, a masterpiece imho, and he's one of my favourite composers ever since.

Torchwood Series 1 Trailer
YouTube video by w3pcj Torchwood Series 1 Trailer

Many years ago, on the wake of #DoctorWho (the series), I discovered its spinoff, #Torchwood. I really loved the show. Scary, gritty, sci-fi, horror, aliens, monsters and more of the kind.
Totally different mood compared to Doctor Who's.
I wonder why it's not so popular.

I know I'm late to the party, but where I grew up certain things were out of reach.
Well, I recently got into #DungeonsAndDragons and I'm shocked how gorgeous it is.
Now, as a software engineer, I'm coding the game's rule set into #unity. For fun. And I'm really having a good time! 🀩
