There comes a moment when you realise your weirdness is you strength. Lean into it. There comes a moment when you realise you are Fully-grown Changeling. Celebrate it. We are strange and we are here.
More Just For Phil posts! It even has a coin!!!
Thinkin' 'bout Rome again.
Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore discuss 'Tragic Magic', recorded on vintage instruments from the Musée de la Musique, the guilt and gratitude of leaving a burning city for Paris, and a shared dream of one day playing in James Turrell's Roden Crater.
"Come Join Us Here in the Future":
We were waiting when the signal died
Open hearted all & starry-eyed
Earth will rise again & grace abide
See you on the other side
We see your courage take the kindest ride
Here to meet you with our arms spread wide
Earth will rise & grace abide
See you on the other side

Definitely guitars. And a Kodak “old photo” slight orange cast to the picture.
“If I can’t hold it, it’s not mine” would be an excellent album title. The cover would be a photograph depicting this first scene 😃
Done! 😆
I saw an ebay listing for a used stereo. As-Is: $1 - plays at full volume only.
I thought to myself, I can't turn that down.
Pedophile Distraction War would be a great name for a punk band.
But yeah, fuel prices are a little nuts up here atm.
Your TV can watch what you watch, but not in a cool way. Here are the details on Automatic Content Recognition and how to turn it off.
I hate that this is a thing. It shouldn't be a thing.

I'm so looking forward to this conversation with my dear friend and colleague @amalelmohtar.com. If you're in Glasgow, or anywhere near, please join us on Tuesday, 7 April, at Waterstones Argyle Street.
4-panel comic. (1) [Glowing black dot surrounded by clouds.] DOT: I think I did a good job with this universe. Pressure waves dance through gas clouds. They clump together and then pressure pushes them apart. (2) [Some of the clouds are clumping together.] DOT: Oh weird, that big clump of clouds is staying together. Their gravity is overcoming the pressure and more gas is falling in. (3) [More clouds are sucked in.] DOT: It’s not stopping! The heat is rising but the collapse is only accelerating! I messed up. I messed up *bad*. (4) [The clump has become a shining star.] DOT: NOOOOOOOO!!! My beautiful clouds! Ruined! It’s all ruined!

The French reluctance to adopt English terms and create their own has made for some very odd online language (téléchargement, anyone?) but internaute(s) for people online is *delightful*.
Chapeau, sir, Chap. Eau.
Not been this excited about a gig for a LONG time 😃

Sail away, away
Nipples never come back…

That is lovely…
Did I ever tell you about the time
Of course you know the end of the tale
I’d recommend turmeric to help with any inflammation- works for me! Not all turmeric is created equal though for this and it needs to have a touch of black pepper and be taken with milk/yoghurt to help with the absorption. (My partner is a herbalist, can you tell? 😆)
I had the exact same thought.
Apologies if I’m missing your being sarcastic here, but if you’re serious- have you seen the Johnny English films?

Well, this is a hell of a story, spinning out from that weird viral sea shanty trend from the pandemic.

And while we’re on the subject of microtonal music, have you come across Angine de Poitrine yet? Those wacky Canadians!!

That’s fascinating, thanks! I’m in the “digital tuner, everything is wrong”camp, but with my playing it probably doesn’t matter 😆
If you’re into microtonal theory, this guy on YouTube is a purveyor of the fines rabbit holes:

this year in canada and the us, international women’s day is only 23 hours long, and wow what a symbolic statement that makes
okay, Ill bite.
What do you think the point of reading for and writing a literature review is? The process of reading and writing is crucial for THINKING. Your ideas are shaped by all of this, offloading it to gAI, no matter how "good" you think gAI is at it defeats the purpose entirely.
