I’ve been reading Human Acts by Han Kang. It’s a sad and touching book about the Gwangju massacre and its effect on people. A couple of months ago I read The Vegetarian by the same author, she’s quickly becoming one of my favourite writers.
A bunch of CD’s I bought from a flea market the other day. Kate Bush, Blur, Morrissey, Hellacopters, The Flaming Sideburns.. in my home city scoring decently priced 2nd hand vinyls is rare, but plenty of CD’s for 2-5 euros.
Absolutely, a lot of people watch it as entertainment. For myself and the people I know it’s crazy, campy and funny entertainment first, a singing competition second and politics etc. a distant third.
Strictly scheduled stuff goes into calendar, but otherwise I have two text files. The first one I prepare every Monday, listing important things for each day of the week. The other one I do every morning, listing the most important tasks for the day, and a few “nice to have if there’s time”. That’s about it.
I’m using my great-grandparents’ drawer that has been around for a hundred years already, can’t see why it wouldn’t last for a few more decades. Books and cast iron/carbon steel kitchenwares should last too.
I recently started dabbling in making music, and yesterday I set up a new drum pad MIDI controller (Akai MPD218) and played around with it a bit. Much more satisfying to have physical pads and knobs instead of just using the DAW with mouse and kb.
Bought a LP player and started hunting for second hand LP’s and CD’s again after ~15 years of only streaming. Also buying digital albums from Bandcamp & trying out Soundcloud.

Proving that something doesn’t work can be valuable data, too. Especially in research close to industrial interests.. celebrate failures!

It’s an Audio Technica LP5X.
Indeed! I bought it earlier today
I’m not sorry!

It's been a while since I watched it so not sure how it has stood the test of time, but Oz made a big impression on me. Brutal, but great TV.

Oh man, I'm jealous! Great album, bought the CD about 20 years ago..
Same, no complaints here.
Beautiful! A bit like that Thiago volley in Liverpool-Porto 2021.

Yeah, and not only paying in but actually working the labour intensive health/elderly care jobs.
