This is probably one of the most pretentious things I will ever say about music but I think albums made with streaming in mind are inferior to albums made to listen to end to end.
The sound and feeling they give is completely different and you can tell.
There I said it. I won’t take it back.

While you're celebrating #Menulog closing down, remember: Woolies and Coles delivery is getting less reliable (at least where I am) and platforms like Doordash give me access to Aldi as well as ways to fix my weekly groceries when the orders are (very) wrong.

In an Australia first, I used FOI to get the AI chat logs of Australia's top national security bureaucrat.
They show how he used Microsoft Copilot to ghostwrite speeches and messages to colleagues.
This comes as the government looks to push AI use in the public service.
