Finally finished. First physical book I’ve read in a long time and one of the best. Impactful in ways similar to Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist and The Pilgrimage. Highly recommended. (And take it slow like I did!)

Kudos to @craigmod.com

**New on Crucial Tracks**: customize your Mastodon / Bluesky shares with additional text. Limited to 150 characters when Bluesky is on, and if Mastodon only, you get 300 extra. Will display below the date/artist/song text and above the link. Let me know what you think! (#poet)

Another setting on Crucial Tracks! If you are connected to Apple Music, you can share your playlist link. Turning this on adds the link on your public profile page, to the bottom of each RSS feed item, and on the Public Tracks page. (See my profile page.) More ways to share and discover music!

Two new settings are available on Crucial Tracks! You can now:

Set the date format for your entries
Set the RSS item title prefix (default is ‘Crucial Track for’)

So you can change it to say, “Song of the Day for 21 April 2025” if you want to adjust both new settings.

Both user requests. 😀

Crucial Tracks the app is getting closer! Need to finish integrating Apple Music, but most everything else major is done. Including a public profile page with RSS support for following users and any other use you can dream of…

Back from a hockey tournament outside DC (and our last games of the season.) Daughter’s team went 3-0 in the round robin, then lost to the other undefeated team in a shootout after 1-1 tie in regulation and OT. Heartbreaking, but the girls played so well all weekend.

Speaking of which, here are my top 10 albums so far… I was already planning to move SAYA into top 5 this month, but vinyl version gets it to the number one spot.

Kendrick’s performance last night was great. My favorite part was Humble, complete with an American flag made up of Black men, being torn in two while the president was in attendance. Quite a statement.

Anything Goes opened up at West last night and was amazing. Milo starred as Moonface Martin and absolutely nailed it. The singing and comedic timing was impressive. What a hidden talent! Stella played bass in the pit and sounded great all night. The entire show was top notch. Hoping they win awards!
