Flat Earth Society seem to have quite a history but are new to me. A Belgian big band presenting an intriguing blend of freer jazz with a somewhat more approachable core. The first track tells a sonic novel and it all flows so damn nicely. https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-one/1730946171

Baki is a Japanese manga character that I’ve seen but knew nothing about until now! NHK on demand through the NHK World App is full of interesting content. https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/shows/2099007/

Hearing an emotional Jon Solomon talking about Steve Albini on WPRB during the lead in to his Weds night radio program was kind of perfect.

@jjor64 I think about this title often.

@jjor64 Short answer, yes it does!

SHELLAC was on the cover of the June issue of the UK mag The WIRE.

@drewphish who!

Sifting Through Nine Layers of Meaning | kyle bobby dunn - I’m drifting to sleep to this beautiful release via this beautiful human. Slow shifting dunes if sound engulfing my brain. https://kylebobbydunn.bandcamp.com/album/sifting-through-nine-layers-of-meaning

Honestly this era of the GD was always super wordy but it never seems like it while listening. So many beautiful words…

The Playin on this bonus disc is kinda spacey. Not surprising I guess but it never gets too wordy. Lots of improvising between the notes. Super dialed in like they were with everything else in the summer of 1977.

The Dave’s Picks 2024 bonus disc is just the added second set from May 4th, 1977. Very convenient..

I think I’m M’d out Apple. These 50 time faster graphics just all runs together to me. M4 for AI and the coming Seri with a brain! Okay, I get that but the faster, faster, faster, we do games now silliness is getting old. The new IPad Pro is still a beautiful and impressive device! I’ve never been excited by iPad announcements but this seems like a fantastic upgrade! The M2 lower end model also looks lovely, it’s the iPad Pro little.

@fistfulofdave The Owl House is quite good, Big City Greens and Amphibia picked up the torch GF blazed quite nicely.

Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway style storytelling could lead to a charming experience. Not that it would fix the company’s current woes but it would be nice to see them lean into these lesser classics. Not that there’s anything less about this series.. #DisneyParks

It’s crazy how wide open these Hungarian stages are. They remind me of the WRC’s safari rally that take place in Kenya. #WRC #ERC

I enjoy European Rally Racing or the WRC but don’t generally get to see as many events these days as I don't currently sub to the WRC video app. I download a few stages when I can do so and I’m currently viewing the ERC which I’ve never seen. It's the junior drivers but there's a ton of names I've ever heard of. There’s more than a few women and even a mother and son duo with mom reading the pace notes. #WRC #ERC

This Incredible String Band film is lovely and I’m glad that I’ve come upon it. It seems like such a pure hearted document.

@Nolasox sounds heavenly..

This original 6 playoff game 7 between the Toronto Maple Leafs @ Boston Bruins sounds absolutely monstrous. The energy in that arena must be off the charts.

Burial really is my favorite modern composer, without question. https://burial.bandcamp.com/album/ghost-hardware
