'The song is hope, dreams, and imagination all weaved into one warm ball of light that will light a spark in our souls'. Lovely words from #LostInTheManor about our new single #WeAreDreamers.

Coming soon...

I've completed the mix and masters on a new album. There's still some work to be done before I can release it. I want to get a few CDs pressed and write a background on the album, but... In a couple of months...

Well of COURSE they are pandering to audiences for profit. That is literally their JOB - and has been since they were created.

The Conversation U.S. @us.theconversation.com · 12d

CBS News, under Bari Weiss—currently Free Press editor and CEO—could look radically different. But research suggests that viewers might not care, because many in the public already assume that media companies are pandering to audiences for profit.

theconversation.com/a-bari-weiss...

A Bari Weiss-led CBS News would likely look different, but how the public feels about it might not change

The public’s relationship with news is defined more by its skepticism of the profession than by its impressions of journalists or media outlets.

Juno the cat and Shubert keep me company this morning.

A dimly lit wooden table with a small statuette of the composer Shubert. A gray tabby cat rests on the back of a blue upholstery chair behind the lamp. The dust on the table shows up really well.

This year I got my act together & have been working on a holiday-themed album since mid-Aug. I know! It feels odd since it's hot out, but now's the time to get it done for release in Nov. It's turning out a smidge on the somber side. (are we surprised?)
A brief snippet, for @tonaldrift.com :)

Rosh Hashanah - feast of trumpets.

The rapture is supposedly trumpety or something. 🤷‍♂️

Tonal Drift @tonaldrift.com · 16d

Mmmmmm. Mellooow.

My favorite has to be one I had as a kid.
My town was being invaded by dinosaurs so I created a crossbow like weapon out of scrap wood and rubber bands that could fire multiple paperclips at once.

I can't find it, but somebody was predicting the rapture was Tuesday because that is the start of Rosh Hashana - the feast of trumpets. And the rapture is all trumpety or something.

The fact that the feast start this evening seems to be forgotten.
