  Radiohead - Kid A The question was, obviously, what the hell do you do after releasing OK Computer? If you keep going down that path, it's a long slide to irrelevance, and given their restlessness, boredom. So, *hard* pivot, more studios, picking up on the extant electronica trend, but making it theirs. On release I was pretty shocked & disappointed, and it took a while to embrace, but embrace it I have. Mingus-like, indeed. https://youtu.be/uRs2yuQbH1Q #nowplaying #vinyl #R...

  Kenny Dorham - The Complete 'Round About Midnight at the Café Bohemia Recent Tone Poet release of this classic 1956 set, expanded with the tracks added in the 1984 Japan release, plus more. Dorham and the band (J. R. Monterose (tenor), Kenny Burrell (guitar), Bobby Timmons (piano), Sam Jones (bass), andArthur Edghill (drums)) are locked in and playing great. Beautiful mono recording, mastering, pressing. Highly recommended. #nowplaying #vinyl #KennyDorham #TonePoet #jazz

  @octothorpe Making yourself scriptable wasn’t the same thing. 43+ years ago (ulp!) my first product, BRIEF, was scriptable. But it still got to define its UI, and the scripts were in *its* service, not the *system’s*.

  Laura Marling - Manchest Albert Hall 2025 - Patterns in Repeat Laura Marling, in concert. The first half is her, solo, with her guitar doing material from her career. The 2nd half adds a choir and strings, doing Patterns in Repeat in full. She's in great voice, and while the material in this form is a little monochromatic, the songs are great. Video of the same concert: https://youtu.be/nsm1BpQbGFQ #nowplaying #vinyl #folk #LauraMarline #RSD26

  @octothorpe I was kind of surprised she didn't mention it.

  @octothorpe Now we have to convince @jon_alper that it's better than "music I would probably not turn off".

  RE: https://mas.to/@dnanian/112667290035527391 More than two years ago, I tried to work around the serious bug in Shortcuts’ “expand” action, and couldn’t get it to work. Today, using Claude, I was able to fix the problem in about three minutes. The bug in Shortcuts’ “expand” action still exists…I sent in Feedback *and* provided sample code years ago, with no action taken. Thanks, Claude. Wish you had fixed it, Apple. ZIP files aren’t exactly obscure.

  @octothorpe@mastodon.online These were fixes in my intent, not in Apple’s code. I know what Apple’s bug is — they’re not cleaning up properly when the second ZIP is unzipped — but it remains busted in the system’s shortcut action. Years and years later.

  @octothorpe@mastodon.online @flargh@mastodon.social Well, this set the stage for all sorts of post-rock stuff that they are probably familiar with, so many we haven't failed them at all...

  Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden There's not a lot to say about this masterpiece without sounding like a douche, so instead here's an article about it by the Music Aficionado: https://musicaficionado.blog/2018/09/13/spirit-of-eden-by-talk-talk/ New half-speed master, and good pressing. Given the dynamics involved, the pressing *matters*. One video of an edited track, to give an idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilvJkYY1G7Q #nowplaying #vinyl #artrock #postrock #TalkTalk #MarkHollis #...

  Pink Floyd - The Endless River I've avoided late-period Pink Floyd, after The Wall. The Final Cut was execrable, and the post-Waters albums were...well, Gilmour is an amazing guitarist and a terrific singer, but he (and Polly Samson) write bland lyrics. Without the tension between him and Waters, their songs tend to be primarily atmospheric. Which might be what you're in the mood for. And this LP gives you that, with only one track with lyrics. It's...fine. #nowplayin...

  Nicholas Payton - Triune Three pretty stellar players -- Payton (keys, flugelhorn), Esperanza Spalding (bass, vocals), and Karriem Riggins (drums) -- get together to make modern, groove-centric jazz. #nowplaying #vinyl #jazz #NicholasPayton #EsperanzaSpalding #KarriemRiggins
