This is the first time I've seen such creative use of an app's delete menu. Nice try, Hey!, but no.

youtube.com/playlist?lis... This is a fantastic documentary about the creation of an iconic album. It’s unfortunate that modern production has strayed so far from the concept of creativity.

Unpacked

Got a new toy from Japan.

Not this GenXer just now realizing that “streams” are being treated like sales…? If I bought two records in 1988 and listened to one 2 times and the other I’m still poppin on the turntable at least once a week, I still bought only two records. Not sure how I feel about it.

A few old records from the $5 bin at Royal Cat Records in Guelph, Ontario. A disco single from Casablanca Records — strictly for decoration :) I've wanted a cover like this on my wall for a long time.

This is completely unexpected, but also good... www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5UR...

So good... youtu.be/74mV9qwlCgg?...

It’s a silly habit dating back to the Windows XP days, but every time Apple releases a major update for its OS, I do a clean install and then reinstall all the software from scratch. It’s kind of an unnecessary action, but I like the result. At the same time, I filter out unnecessary apps.

How I adore the aesthetic of those years…

Today, people from Odessa worldwide are celebrating the city’s day. I haven’t been there for 3,5 years and will probably never return. I remember walking here on the last peaceful evening, February 23, 2022. The next morning, the full-scale war began, and I took my family away without looking back.

Foxy Shazam are as brilliant as ever, and Corey Feldman’s involvement takes the song to an entirely new level of irony. Feldman is about as much of a singer as Tommy Wiseau is an actor, but that’s exactly what makes it so fascinating :) youtu.be/LuvN9DWwN48?...

How am I supposed to know how to live the right way at my age if it’s my first time living?

Happy birthday, my dear friend @tkhir.bsky.social!

This will come to haunt Zelenskyy. Ukraine’s anti-corruption activists have been the single most progressive force in society. Now many are accused of being Russian spies just for criticizing the government and plenteous malfeasance, because it weakens the country www.bbc.com/news/article...

Rest in peace, the Prince of Darkness. See you on the other side. #ozzy

A couple of new records.

Got my @goveeofficial.bsky.social Table Lamp 2 (H6022) working with Apple Home — full effect control and Adaptive Lighting via HomeKit. MQTT + Homebridge did the trick. A hundred times better than using Matter. Blog post with configs coming in the next few days.

THEY’RE JUST FUCKING AMAZING! www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_GT...

Alright, guys — if you’ve never heard these fantastic musicians play, now’s the perfect time to start! blog.stanislavski.me/dirty-loops/

Just relaunched the blog and wrote about a band I discovered only recently — and honestly, I can’t not share it. blog.stanislavski.me/page-99/

I finally replaced the laser head in this beauty and now the one I bought a month ago in junk condition is pleasing all my housemates.

A couple of nice things that have appeared in our house lately. Being able to buy nice little things without the thought that war could break out at any moment is a sign of recovery, I think.

The seamless transition from 𝒩𝑒𝑒𝒹 𝒴𝑜𝓊 𝒯𝑜𝓃𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉 into 𝑀𝑒𝒹𝒾𝒶𝓉𝑒 on INXS’s 𝓚𝓲𝓬𝓴 album—and the way these two songs are fused into a single whole, especially through the video—is one of the most remarkable moments in modern music history, imo.

Sometimes, I notice that threads need to be highlighted more explicitly when posting on Bsky. I’ve observed that many people only read the first post, which leads me to make conclusions about the future. :)

When someone asks why I collect vinyl records, I’m often not sure what to say. It’s not about trends or nostalgia. It’s more about a certain feeling that’s hard to put into words.

A new toy :)

I'm old enough to remember what an incredible miracle Skype was perceived to be at the time of release. Instead of expensive international calls, a small app available to everyone. Fantastic. apple.news/ADwMVwQb8SZm...

Today the postman brought me a special delivery—Ozzy Osbourne’s Patient Number 9 on Ukrainian Flag limited edition vinyl. A surprise gift from my wife. Already went through the HumminGuru and ready to spin.

That's awesome!

Happy 85th birthday to the Father of Disco and true music innovator, Mr. Giorgio Moroder!

About bad timing...

Took 6 years of waiting, but Saudade by Brian Fast Leiser is finally in my collection. Feels good to have it here at last.

Even though #RSD2025 didn’t impress me with its selection, today still brought a pleasant surprise.

Oh yesss. New season of Love, Death & Robots is coming. Always weird. Always worth it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnvk...

Back in 1988, Ukrainian engineers built a turntable packed with tech that today’s Western manufacturers still don’t match—or even attempt. Meet the ФЕНИКС ЭП-008C (PHOENIX EP-008S), a forgotten Soviet marvel of analog-digital hybrid design. 🧵

Let's share the history of our vinyl turntables? My first one was a Феникс ЭП008С. It was not the first turntable in our house, but it was my first own. The amazing ideas put into it by its developers, unfortunately, could not withstand the onslaught of low-quality Soviet assembly.
