Here’s a very recently released song about wanting to show forbidden love. “You told me to shh, but you make me wanna love you loud, Need a microphone and speaker just so I can scream it out, Don‘t tell me to shh, ’cause you know I gotta let it out, I wanna love you loud” #NMIXX – LOUD with […]

The promotions for the next release from #NMIXX include a picture with a modified music score, at https://xcancel.com/NMIXX_official/status/2047692254584991966. I transcribed it into Musescore, and I’m pleased to see that it’s not just random notes and symbols! I […] [Original post on mastodon.nz]

My pet peeve today: calling something a #ddos when it’s coming from five IP addresses and the service is fine.

Random thought after seeing one on the road for the first time last night: the Kia Tasman looks more like something from a #cyberpunk setting than the Cybertruck, especially in black, like something designed for Militech. (Photo from Wikipedia by Daniel B Oh.)

Anaïs Mitchell – Why We Build the Wall from Hadestown “How does the wall keep us free? The wall keeps out the enemy, And we build the wall to keep us free, That’s why we build the wall, We build the wall to keep us free.” https://youtu.be/e2pxbyf_tgE #JukeboxFridayNight #askaquestion […]

KT Tunstall ­– Suddenly I See “Her face is a map of the world Is a map of the world You can see she’s a beautiful girl She’s a beautiful girl…” According to Kate, this song was inspired by the photo of Patti Smith from her album Horses, and not by “wanting to […] [Original post on mastodon.nz]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@plsik/115995313854109912 LLMs are the demons from #frieren; they’ve learnt to use words without knowing what they mean to gain the trust of delicious, tasty humans.

Some songs from a certain period in #nzmusic history that I was really into. First: Zed – Glorafilia https://youtu.be/mCQIvHbhdiM #tunetuesday #mynameis

Weight of the World (English Version) Composed by Keiichi Okabe, with lyrics and vocals by J’Nique Nicole, from the game “Nier Automata”. The lyrics are not directly about #robotsandcomputers, but the song is sung from the perspective of an android at the end of her fight against the robots […]

The Naked And Famous – The Runners From their album “Simple Forms”, one of my all-time favourites. https://youtu.be/jLuvBtSsqIM #JukeboxFridayNight #stepbystep

Jonathan Coulton – Chiron Beta Prime (I can‘t believe this is 19 years old now.) https://youtu.be/B3DyxaCYlfg #morethancarols #JukeboxFridayNight

I finally got sick of Windows and its random crashes that might be my laptop hardware failing or might be bad drivers. A few notes follow about my experience running desktop #linux at home for the first time in something like 20 years.

This #kpop video came up at the top of YouTube for me this morning, and I have to share the… bewilderment? https://youtu.be/R6QGiMFpq6g (The video link preview shows a thumbnail with the members of #NMIXX in assorted blue-coloured pop-culture character costumes, a Na’vi from Avatar, Sadness […]

I'm very onboard for this. From the teasers I was expecting a Digipedi video, but I have no complaints about where they went with this instead. And musically the arrangement, production and the fucking weird change ups are part of why we're here for NMIXX. Let's go! #nmixx #kpop […]

I'm not quite sure what qualifies as #countrymusic, but this song has an ex-boyfriend and a pickup truck in it. Taylor Swift – Picture to Burn https://youtu.be/yCMqcFAigRg #JukeboxFridayNight

Art is a big theme of the game Clair Obsur: Expedition 33, starting from its name. This is its main theme, Alicia, written by Lorien Testard in a language similar to Occitan to avoid spoilers, and sung by Alice Duport-Percier. https://youtu.be/p00EF6_b5pI #artinmusic #JukeboxFridayNight

every time I see someone going "I finally ditched #firefox and went with this closed source chromium based alternative instead" all I can think of is

Muse – Explorers “A world lush in bloom, with rivers running wild, They’ll be re-routed south, With none left for you or for me. Don’t give in, and hear the Engines roar, and save our crops from drought, And when the black gold’s in doubt, There’s none left for you or for me.” From a live […]

The kids are complaining about me getting a "Thrustmaster HOT ASS" (sic) to use to play #elitedangerous when they're the ones with the minds of 12-year-olds.

I propose replacing calories with watt-hours. - Almost same value (1 kilocalorie / Calorie is ~1.1 watt-hours) - more intuitive for people who use electricity - never the confusing between calories (science), Calories (food, which is technically kilocalories), kilocalories, and 'kilo Calories' […]

An ode is defined as a poem that expresses deep feelings about a person or other subject. In that vein, this is the Cranberries with Ode to My Family. https://youtu.be/Zz-DJr1Qs54 #JukeboxFridayNight #poetryinmusic

Just to piss off Don Brash and pay him back for using an image of a Māori woman without her #consent on his anti-Māori-wards billboards please share this widely.

To remember Tom Lehrer for #JukeboxFridayNight, here’s one of Tim Minchin’s less offensive songs. Except to the ear, if you’re a musician. Tim Minchin – F Sharp https://youtu.be/5Ju8Wxmrk3s #songstomakeussmile

#timminchin – Not Perfect A live recording from the Sydney Opera House. “This is my body and I live in it It’s 31 and six months old. It’s changed a lot since it was new It’s done stuff it wasn’t built to do I often try to fill it up with wine. And the weirdest thing about it is: I spend so […]

Aww! #RIP Lalo Schifrin, “the composer who wrote the endlessly catchy theme for “Mission: Impossible” and more than 100 other arrangements for film and television, died Thursday. He was 93.” […]

Me: I think #duolingo has had me practise it enough that I’m starting to understand simple Korean grammar and how ‘is’ and ‘to be’ work. Disney: “사랑은 열린 문”
