Well, for a start I'm sticking the kettle on for another mug of tea, then I might think about something for breakfast.

@npub1437…ranm Some of it depends on how it's said. 'Tossers' isn't a particularly awful word but it can sound so much more withering if said in a dismissive hiss.

@npub1yxz…6s8m Don't know the former but yes I'm a big fan of the latter. Godspeed You Black Emperor also had an album (Yanqui U.X.O.) produced by Albini and that's a favourite of mine too.

@npub1yxz…6s8m Ok. No idea if it would be of any appeal to you but a favourite of mine (not on that list) is Things We Lost In The Fire by Low. A thing of fragile beauty IMO.

Just been idly thinking about an idea for a recycling centre where people could take in all sorts of objects and materials, and local artists would be able, as first priority, to pick and choose what they wanted for their use. It would of course be called Waste Going To Talent.

@npub1yxz…6s8m Yikes.
It's often been the case that I'll get up earlier on a day I'm not working, and quite enjoy it when I do - the quiet of the first part of the day in particular.

2024-03-27 09:25:11

The nice thing about getting up relatively early when I'm not at work, is that it gets to this point in the morning and I feel like I've let half the day slip past, yet it's still not 9.30.

@npub1437…ranm 'Hardworking families' is a phrase that, thankfully, doesn't get trotted out as much as it used to these days. That one really boils my piss.

2024-03-18 10:29:13

- reply

@npub1yxz…6s8m It's such a curious thing, for me at least. The album (rightly) get lots of praise, but I've rarely - if ever - seen it mentioned about the vocals being so low. I mean, it's not exactly like he had a plain or indifferent voice, and the music they made was an apt vehicle for it, so it just seems perplexing to hear it so muffled on that particular album.

2024-03-18 10:15:29

- reply

@npub1yxz…6s8m Yes, with so many remasters and alternative versions/mixes of some key albums from that period, then surely just access to the master tapes - assuming they still exist - would be the main factor. That and the will to do so, of course

2024-03-18 09:50:19

- reply

@npub1yxz…6s8m It is indeed excellent, but I find it a frustrating listen because his vocals are often way too far back in the mix. I don't know if there are versions around that rectified this.

My late mum's birthday, and Mother's Day, all in the space of one weekend?
Mother's Day in itself doesn't bother me, but birthdays and other anniversaries haven't been easy, all these things hit harder last year following my brother's death.
My hope is that such things will be easier this time round, but how much that matches up to expectations is another matter.

@npub10dc…pmga Oh that's happened before, yes, but the one I had is slightly different to the one it's apparently been swapped with. In the end it doesn't matter but it's just a bit puzzling, and I might have thought no more of it if it wasn't for the previous instance of someone taking my bin across the road for no clear reason...

2024-01-22 12:11:57

Why on earth would someone swap their recycling bin for mine? What possible difference does it make?
I wonder if it's related to when someone had put my recycling bin on the opposite side of the road before a recent collection.
Odd, though. Very odd.
