It’s been a couple of months now since I finished the pre-move project of ripping all the CDs that hadn’t yet made it into digital form. I’ve been slowly cleaning up the metadata on them and moving them into the main collection, and then doing a lot of listening to things I haven’t listened to [...]

Look what I found while trolling YouTube–an ancient CBC clip where Russell is being interviewed on the question of faith in a god.
(I wonder if I have the only 5-year old in town who can identify Bertrand Russell when she sees him in a YouTube clip.)

I followed a stay Twitter link today that lead to this short discussion of how to deal with someone acting racist:
I found that interesting enough that I spent some time looking at other vlogs from the same dude, which lead me to this one, East Coast Cats and Christopher Street Boys, which I particularly liked:
I’m [...]

I have finished1 the ridiculous project of ripping all my previously unripped CDs before the move. This has resulted in the addition of exactly 9175 new MP3 files to the collection–a bump of about 1/3 in the overall size. That seems like a lot.
In celebration of that seemingly endless effort being completed allow me to [...]

Collected from here and there about the networks, for your amusement or edification,
I would really like to believe the story of Denny & Peach is a vignette that accurately captures a bit of the wonder of the world. But even if it’s a fiction, it’s a lovely little one. Also, SWORD CANE!
Same thing with this [...]

As part of the process of getting ready for our impending move, I’ve been engaged in a process of ripping all my audio CDs that hadn’t previously been ripped. This keeps leading to my having that “Oh, I haven’t though about you in a while” experience.
I had that recently with Crass.
Since I was single-digits old [...]

I spent a lot of time last night looking at translations of Latin and Middle High German poetry. Oh, and listening to what I can only refer to as operatic renditions of the pieces.
How did this happen? Well, actually, like many times when I start following a trail of weird connections, it all comes back [...]

For vaguely Alan Moore reasons I was recently checking out some renditions of Threepenny Opera tunes, and I found this version of Pirate Jenny that out-creepies the Nina Simone and Ute Lemper versions that I was familiar with. I thought I’d share.

Over the last day or so, I’ve been on an MP3-ripping rampage–I think I’ve done about 120 CDs in the last day or two. I’ve got a goal to get the rest of the CDs I’ve never got around to ripping (about 1000 or so) digitized before the end of the month, so that I [...]

It’s been a little while since I did a music post, so let’s do a bigger than usual one, with nine tunes instead of my normal five.
Tonight’s theme is pretty broad: music from some awesome female artists. I’m not going to try to narrow it more than that–it’s some good stuff, and hopefully there’ll be [...]

You know what happens to me all the damn time? I realize I need to listen to a specific song right now, and then I realize that I haven’t actually ripped that CD yet. (I’ve got a lot of CDs, and I’ve only ripped around a thousand of them.) I could, theoretically, go find the [...]

Look, it’s poker night, you’re only getting a quick embedded video post.
However, it’s probably not what you think. If you stop watching before the first minute is over, you didn’t get it. If you watch through to the two minute mark, I guarantee that you’ll watch until the end, and you’ll be impressed.
For more information: [...]

Today I ordered a copy of Possibilities, an EP by Sierra Noble. I’d never heard of the ridiculously young Métis from Manitoba prior to today–which actually kind of surprises me–but as soon as I encountered her on the web today I knew I was going to buy the album.
What I encountered today (indirectly, via Penguin [...]
