Oh man this is so great: electronic music sample breakdowns from 1990 until the present day. The visualizations on these are fantastic — just watch a bit of the first one (Groove Is In The Heart) and you’ll see what I

So grateful I got to see the last few years of the V10s in F1 racing in person (and also V8s for that matter). There’s nothing like it, an amazing sound.

Leclerc with another mistake in Qualifying to bring out the red flag and end the session, making for a mixed up grid tomorrow which will be interesting but sadly we missed out on seeing everyone’s best lap.

Good road win for the Celtics ☘️ last night against the 76ers on Embiid MVP trophy night (congrats). It never felt comfortable but I really liked seeing Tatum take over in the last two minutes.

Celtics get the win yesterday with a blowout of the 76ers and Tatum only getting 7 pts. Makes the first loss seem even more stupid, but this was a nice course correction. I wonder if 76ers will regret not waiting until game 3 to
play Embiid, like the Heat are doing with Butler.
