I'm teaching a new #class "Solidarity Memory Work"
We'll learn about #solidarity#movements in allied professions (academic history, journalism, etc.) then discuss (1) how to actively #document and #preserve current movements and organizations, and (2) activate that #records already in #collections to motivate and guide contemporary organizers
My brain decided to bring up this memory for no reason today. Cereal box records. Back in the day, kid cereals would add cardboard records on the back of their boxes. You could cut them out and play them on any normal record player. The grooves were made with thin plastic and songs were pretty short.
On the 8th of May, I am going to be talking about #geoparquet at #geomobLX
GeoParquet is a cloud native format for enabling geospatial interoperability between cloud data warehouses. It is basically a spatial extension of #apache#parquet (:
If you like 78 RPM records (i.e., music from 1900-1950), Radio Dismuke is hosting the biannual Nauck's Vintage Records Broadcast which covers that whole time period and includes some very rare recordings. You can listen to it here through tomorrow:

#NowPlaying Milt Jackson, Sunflower (CTI, 1973). A monumental record with a killer core lineup — Jackson on vibes, Herbie Hancock on piano, Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Ron Carter on bass, and Billy Cobham on drums. Ideal Sunday morning soundtrack.
#AllGetOut is such a great band. If you like the sound of #ManchesterOrchestra, then give AGO a try. I find myself spinning this album the least out of their LPs, but whenever I put it on, I'm reminded how good it is. Plus, it's a really nice colorway.
The 2015 EMI/Parlophone #Bowie remasters really do sound great. There are so many variations of this record (I have several including a UK first and a MOFI) but this one gets pulled out the most even though it’s from a digital source, which I would typically condemn on principle. But it sounds so good, who cares. #davidbowie#hunkydory#vinyl#records#nowspinning@vinylrecords
