Only 5 days left before the Matic home cleaning robot goes up by nearly $200. As you've likely seen from the reviews, it's pretty great. I have mine for > 1 year. It comes with a $ back guarantee. I have a referral link that will get you a "special bag bundle" (which I assume means lots of […]

Bill Evans Trio - Haunted Heart: The Legendary Riverside Studio Recordings Much of this has, of course, been released before...many times. However, this time they've carefully reconstructed the original tapes using the Plangent Process...and they've never sounded […] [Original post on mas.to]

Whoa. https://theonion.com/man-who-thought-fleetwood-macs-the-chain-was-over-in-for-thrill-of-his-fucking-life/

Aw, man, but Heily would have been so popular! https://theonion.com/coast-guard-backtracks-on-plan-to-reclassify-swastikas-as-mascot/

Hayley Williams - Petals for Armor/Flowers for Vases Bundled pressing of Williams' solo debut and follow-up. Given the colored, speckled vinyl, a surprisingly quiet, flat pressing...sounds great. Nice to see her showing different sides from her work in Paramore […] [Original post on mas.to]

Scofield Trio in the Sky.

And people say Nano Banana is useless.

Horace Silver - Silver in Seattle: Live at the Penthouse Another gem, unearthed by The Jazz Detective, of a set originally broadcast on radio in 1965, saved in the Penthouse Jazz Club archives. It's a really great set, well recorded. And the package includes an […] [Original post on mas.to]

Jackie McLean - Bluesnik Great 1961 session with McLean (sax), Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), Kenny Drew (piano), Doug Watkins (bass), and Pete La Roca (drums). While not every track is straight blues, it's definitely a blues-focused session, and really fun and […] [Original post on mas.to]

Looks like the League of Pigs is back for Season 12: https://youtu.be/bP8IPgD5FfI Hoshi Oinku looks to be the favorite this season..

OK, I've mentioned this before, but the xBloom Studio coffee machine is *great*. It can use "pods" (which are not what you think) - little composable basket-and-filters with actual beans that you buy - OR you can use your own beans in a separate basket. There's a special tea basket and mode […]

Tortoise - Touch I realized that I posted about TNT when Touch was released, but I never posted about Touch itself. Despite the decade-ish gap, Tortoise continues with their post-rock, kinda-jazz, kinda-experimental, always enjoyable music. Here's hoping the next […] [Original post on mas.to]

I'd forgotten how bad the 1987 Running Man is. Yeesh.

New post at Shirt Pocket Watch - SuperDuper Security Update v3.11 https://www.shirtpocket.com/blog/index.php/shadedgrey/superduper_security_update_v311/

SuperDuper! v3.11, released today, includes some security updates that I discuss in a new blog post: https://www.shirt-pocket.com/blog/index.php/shadedgrey/comments/superduper_security_update_v311/

A very 100th Birthday to both Bang & Olufsen and Luxman. So many things have changed over the years, it's quite an achievement to be a going concern all these years later. Luxman made my first "serious" integrated amp and (separate) tuner, and B&O makes a lot of my stuff, so it's a good time […]

The Clientele - The Violet Hour Finally re-released first album from Britain-based dream/chamber-pop band. Nice to revisit after a long time—chill reverb and finger-picked guitar as fall goes to winter. #nowplaying #vinyl #TheClientele #DreamPop #chamberpop

Finally.

Water From Your Eyes is opening for Hayley Williams on her upcoming tour...and taped a live Life Signs for Colbert: https://youtu.be/xA2REswD024 Gotta say, never expected them to book Colbert *or* Hayley Williams, so good for them!

Alas, didn't make it to Slowboat this year (we went to the Half Note one night), so I figured I'd re-listen to this double LP. https://mas.to/@dnanian/114682595363720064

Back from Japan, re-listen. https://mas.to/@dnanian/111268278930927372

They gather.

It relaxes.

It resumes.

It pauses. https://youtu.be/12ZXTpkdnLE

It continues.

Has there ever been a better combination of control + display? (You can make an argument for Missle Command, of course, but you would be wrong.) https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQN2r3elCyD/

It begins.

Pino Palladino and Blake MIlls - That Wasn't a Dream Their last collaboration (https://mas.to/@dnanian/111099355263896503) was four years ago, and this one has Mills on a fretless baritone sustainer guitar, just to add to the difficulty. (Remember that Mills is whose […] [Original post on mas.to]

Grant Green - Solid Another in the "Blue Note Albums Recorded in the 60s but not released until years later" series, this 1964 session was recorded around the same time as Matador, but came out in 1979. Anyway, it's really, um, solid, with an especially ripping take […] [Original post on mas.to]

Time spent repairing reading glasses: 30 minutes. Time spent looking for the teeny-tiny nut that I dropped on the floor: shut up.

@cheeaun Any idea why Phanpy won't install as a PWA any more?

Chris Isaak - Forever Blue It's been 10 years since this has been in print...and 30 years since it was released. Chris (& the Silvertones) had basically perfected their thing by this time, and all that was needed was some heartbreak to level up the material. Seems […] [Original post on mas.to]
