Got Sound Reproduction Vol 4, with an extensive headphone section by @seanolive.bsky.social - it's good to see the stuff we've talked about online making it onto the record. It's amazing that with 51 pages, it still feels like there's so much left to cover - maybe Sean should do a followup book.

Having lived in a town with a population under Dunbar's number, it was definitely not utopian, but every year I spend in larger settlements makes me more convinced that humans cope very poorly with not being able to remember all of the people sharing their town.

In a rare and momentous occasion, audio is NOT the most toxic online nerd hobby space this week, and I am basking in the comparative calm. We're not doing any better, but at least other people are worse!

No Christmas song speaks to my actual experience of Christmas with such accuracy as Stan Rogers' At Last I'm Ready For Christmas stanrogers.net/the-music/so...

@resolvereviews.bsky.social mentioning Great Big Sea on stream has me listening to them again, and while I get that twenty years is a long run, I do wish they were still together. None of their solo stuff has quite captured the vibe for me (although I haven't seen Telltale Harbour)
