Wedi ffeindio fe braidd yn ddryslyd "darllen" tair nofel (llyfr go iawn, e-lyfr, llyfr sain) yr un pryd oedd â bach gormod mewn cyffredin; ill tair yn storiau am fenyw ifanc, nail ai yn y person cynta, neu'r trydydd person cyfyngedig; roedd bod ym mhen tair menyw wahanol, gyda lleisiau/personaliaethau unigryw, ond gyda thipyn mewn cyffredin, yn ormod i'r dyn bach digon cyfyngedig ei ddychymig hwn!

Rhaid oedd canolbwyntio ar un ar y pryd, gorffen yr e-lyfr (The Icarus Girl, Helen Oyeyemi), wedyn y llfyr sain (Transcendent Kingdom, Yaa Gyasi) er mwyn cael setlo mewn gyda'r llyfr clawr papur o'n i wedi dechrau bwyddiwrnod (The Shadow of the Sun, A.S. Byatt).

Dw i wir wedi mwynhau'r ddau lyfr digidol, felly dw i am geisio darllen pethau tra wahanol er mwyn cadw pethau yn glir yn fy nghof.

"Trothwy” gan Iwan Rhys yw e-lyfr y dydd, felly. Hunan gofiant, yn y Gymraeg: https://app.thestorygraph.com/books/1fa38745-6b93-4643-bba9-6d9cb19cdca6

…a “Walking" gan Erling Kagge yw'r llyfr sain, sy'n ticio bocs ar un o'r heriau darllen sy gyda fi ar y (‘darllen deg llyfr sy wedi’u cyfieithu’), ac hefyd, gobeithio, bydd yn f'atgoffa i fynd am dro!

Newydd orffen gwrando ar lyfr sain “Transcendent Kingdom” gan Yaa Gyasi, y tro cyntaf i fi fenthyg llyfr sain o’r llyfrgell.

Gwrandawais ar yr ail hanner ar 1.5x, a phan es i nôl at y cyflymder gwreiddiol am y penodau ola, roedd yn swnio’n araf dros ben. Profiad rhyfedd wrth glywed am raglennu niwral mewn llygod.

Dw i wedi gweld Aran Jones yn defnyddio’r tueddiad yma gyda’i fyfyrwyr SaySomethingInWelsh: if something sounds too fast to understand, SPEED IT UP.

Mae’r sustem o fenthyg llyfrau sain ac e-lyfrau o Lyfrgell Ceredigion trwy’r ap BorrowBox yn wych, ond dw i ddim yn deall beth yw’r mantais i awduron o gael dim ond un “copi” o bob llyfr, oni bai bod y llyfrgell yn talu am fwy nag un drwydded.

Dw i eisiau gwrando ar hwn nesa, ond mae rhaid i fi aros tan mis Rhagfyr?

Newydd sylwi bod ganddyn nhw rhai pethau gyda “unlimited copies”, o leia yn yr adran e-lyfrau.

Rhag ofn y bydd diddordeb, dyma edefyn mawr ar gyfer “records brawd Wil” a ddaeth i'm gofal ddoe.

Dyma'r degfed tro, o leia, i fi gael rhodd fel hyn, ac heb os un o'r casgliadau mwya difyr a diddorol dw i wedi’i dderbyn.

(Cewch fudo’r edefyn os nag oes diddordeb!)

Dw i hefyd yn wneud nodyn sydyn am bob record ar y dudalen rhestr discogs, i wneud yn siŵr mod i'n cofio o ble daeth y record, ac i ble aeth e, os na fydda i’n ei gadw. Dw i'n cadw fy nodiadau ar discogs yn Saesneg, fel rheol, rhag ofn mod i'n rhannu'r gwybodaeth gyda rhywun.

...fel hyn, ar y detholiad o bethau cynnar Creation Records, Doing It For The Kids, yr un cyntaf i fi chwarae neithiwr:

“One of the few doubles in the collection, exactly the same issue as the one I bought at time of release, and in slightly worse condition than mine.

-> Oxfam”

(Really, you need to mute me for a few days, this will be boring for all but music nerds…)

Am wn i, dim ond dau record yn yr holl gasgliad yma sy gyda fi eisoes, a hwn yw'r llall. Bydd hyn yn mynd at gartref newydd, neu i Oxfam.

"Exactly the same issue as my copy, with the misprinted inner sleeve, slightly worse condition. UK first press.

-> claimed by Jude “

Mae hyn gyda fi, ond ddim y feinyl gwreiddiol, felly mae hwn yn aros yma!

“I bought the recent Italian reissue of this, but of course I'm keeping this original pressing of the Datblygu classic.”

Crass - Penis Envy

“Decent quality, bit of crackle in the quiet bits, who cares? Had this on a later CD reissue, but nice to have the vinyl.

Not sure if I've got the right release here. It is a "white label", but in the regular release's sleeve. Need to go back and check.”

“UK first press, no hype sticker but then I wouldn't have believed it anyway.

Had this on CD, but it needs to be on vinyl, obviously.”

Thought I'd never heard this, but as soon as the fiddle comes in I got a Proustian rush back to mixtapes of yore. Nice condition, one of several King of the Slums records in the condition.

Another Datblygu duplicate, but one I can't justify keeping here.

Contained an Ankst Press Release dated 14 July 1992, different to the list of Datblygu releases in the copy I bought direct from Ankst. Good condition, but not quite as good as mine, which I bought new from old stock that Ankst was clearing in 2011.

No memory of ever hearing of this lot. As this blog post says, they really should have been on more people's radars: https://atthebarrier.com/2020/06/10/opinion-why-were-fair-ohs-not-on-everyones-playlist/

A favourite soundtrack, to a favourite film. Another duplicate, though, my copy of this being identical in every way, as far as I can see. Offering the spare to friends.

@dorkomatic if no one in the WhatsApp group claims it, it's yours - Chris (from Railroad Bill) is one of them, but he's trying to “be good" apparently. He’s just let himself down in Kelly’s

@dorkomatic ah, sorry, it's been claimed - not by Chris though

One of my favourite SY singles, but identical to my copy, so off to Oxfam with it.

(Going to concentrate on 12" singles for a bit, as changing speeds on my stereo is a performance.)

Well, this is nice. I had this on 7", but this is a 12" maxi-single, with extra tracks I don't know, and a gatefold sleeve. It's making me want to start a list for my Fall records, something I've tried, and abandoned at least once before. That way madness lies.
