mentioned before I think, but there’s a really good episode of the mastering show podcast which covers emre ramazanoglu’s efforts to recreate the mixes for an atmos remaster https://www.themasteringshow.com/episode-101
The Mastering Show #101 - Mixing and mastering Brian Eno - with Emre Ramazanoglu - The Mastering Show Podcast
Brian Eno is probably the musician, producer and artist who has had the single biggest influence on my music taste and enjoyment over the years. His work speaks for itself and needs no introduction ! So when I heard Emre Ramazanoglu talking on the Working Class Audio podcast about re-mixing and mastering many of Brian's […]

Thirty years ago and I still think of it as a “new era” film 😳

This is Donald Trump levels of stupidity. Do not, for the love of all that is holy, use emojis in file names.
No no no begs every archivist. You are never going to be able to find anything. Please don’t start using emojis in file names. Who asked for this? What fresh hell is next?

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

Went to an am-dram panto this evening (@shirley-sings.bsky.social’s partner was playing the dame) and had a bloody brilliant time. Lots of heartfelt laughter which felt really good. I prescribe pantos for everyone to chase those blues away!

having become a young adult in the late 80s I feel pretty well qualified to say that independent music is more vital now than it’s ever been, and that the opportunities for creativity and community within it are endless
The world may suck right now but the world of independent music is amazing. Buy something on bandcamp and escape for a second

I was told this joke at dinner by a senior physiology professor at Cambridge in the early 2000s…
Never miss an opportunity to tell my favourite old science joke:
What did Crick and Watson discover?
Rosalind Franklin’s lab book.

Til Tuesday (Aimee Mann’s band before going solo) got me through my university finals. “Welcome Home” was a speculative purchase in the Virgin Megastore in Manchester.
And I’ve been buying her records ever since.

Have to agree woth Andrew here. Aimee Mann is one of the best female songwriters around, and still criminally underappreciated in the UK.
I'd nominate all of "Lost In Space" as her best songs.

Someone might read this and say "Hey, Where is Guys Like Me? Where is It's Not, where is You Do? Where is Freeway? Where is Little Bombs" But I say, Hey, there are enough amazing Aimee Mann songs to go around because the woman can do no wrong.
