Merry Xmas everyone. I know that is the proper time to say it but it's said too many times, however we would like to say it once more. Stay safe, take care

listening to some of the house anthems from my cousins' playlist and it all sounds like Circulation's Colours variations on a theme. Prog house has come back but not in a novel way I reckon

Marathon Young Punctum blog post on the hits and others of October 1977. Bowie! The Pistols! Moroder! ABBA! The Clash! The second coming of "Virginia Plain"! And many, many more! I wrote A LOT (in this case approx 4.5K words) when I was thirteen:

I do like to see such appreciation for Rochelle Jordan but, dear friends, you are late one album. Play With The changes is better than Through the Wall. While the latter is house for the 21st century zoomers, the former is house for the 21st century for the Gen AA

AI Boom Threatens to Suck Resources Away From Road, Bridge Work
The data center construction boom is sucking up resources from other parts of the market. State and local projects may face particular competition for labor.

given up on trying to buy the Quad 90 CD (my country is not just right wing, it's on the wrong wing of the desolated music stores both in situ or line, this ain't France or Deutschland or Nederlander) and thus I'm doing the lossless purchase

I'm correcting exams this weekend and I can't quite figure it out why one of the best students only listens to Queen and 70s bands. I've mentioned CMAT, Fontaines DC, Dry Cleaning, even Wolf Alice at the end of one of my classes and he(and others) were " is it the music of your teens?"

Euro Country AOY. The decision has been made. It might change one of these days. I have around 40 albums of 2025 plus another dozen from 2024 that I want to listen. Work and personal life get in the way. And I don't use LLMs

SEPTEMBER 1977
This isn’t an autobiography or a memory test. Indeed I don’t really have anything to report between now and February 1978. Life ground on ...

quite angry with that list at Resident Advisor. A lot of misses, starting with Shed, the wrong Peverelist , no Pinch, complete omission of minimal and labels such as Playhouse, no Kalabrese and no Orchestra of Bubbles. And this is just the tip of misses www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQpe...
