CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@sdarlington these were Spotify likes, so not surprising a handful not on Music. I sometimes find my Bandcamp purchases are “uploaded” to Music rather than “matched” so I’m adding to their library? At least to match my mine.I think the reverse may be more common, bands removing their albums from Spotify. And Bandcamp in turn has few big label bands, even small ones locked into distribution deals. The whole thing is a mess lol

Another unsolicited music suggestion. Come for the singing, stay for the guitars. It’s not complicated! But this one’s been living rent-free inside my head.https://twen.bandcamp.com/track/allnighter-2

After five years in the Bay Area, we did the touristy thing

Think it’s time to leave Synology. First, the two-step login process I loathe (“Enter your username. Oh! Enter your password.”) Now it emails a verification code. For a disk array. In my closet.

@bruienne the robot voices are on the record! I assume it’s a live take… they seem like math-rock players, nail the performance and just hammer it out with minimal variation. So when they’re live it’s the same thing, no cheats.I kinda hope they don’t bother wearing outfits while recording. Then they can look at each other for cues, hard to do with a mask over your head

Hard to believe it was still winter in the Bay Area, but the Spring Equinox was at ~7:45 this morning.

I bought a few albums on the last Bandcamp Friday, but this is the one I’ve listened to the most.Spouse is not a huge fan of the 24 minutes of “drum solo” which are the last two tracks. I explained it’s not a drum SOLO, it’s TWO DRUMMERS, Tony Allen, and Ginger Baker—
