Steely Dan - Gaucho

This album is 43 years old? C'mon.

Gaucho is making a second appearance here, mostly because I broke out a Japanese import. As was typical at the time, it's an immaculate pressing of a great album.

Laura Marling - I Speak Because I Can

The opening track (Devil's Spoke) on this solid album feels a bit like a gloss on KT Tunstall's "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree", but also rock-influenced folk music in general.

It's a winning formula for her, and another extremely good LP.

@tldr Ah, non-LP track I haven't heard! I see there's a live version on the deluxe version of "A Creature..." and what looks like the single b/w The Needle and the Damage Done...

My girlfriend has arranged a beer tasting of single hopped beers only 🤤

See you on the other side 🫡

@simonbs Three beers will be fine for your diet, as long as it's not "three beers every hour for a week" - there, you're on your own, buddy.

Google Reader has been dead for TEN years which means I’ve been an @feedbin subscriber for 10 years today! Congrats @benubois on all your hard work and for keeping us in sync for over a decade!

@film_girl @feedbin @benubois Hard to believe it's been that long, yet here we are.

Adult life mostly consists of exclaiming “christ, that happened ten years ago!” about a variety of different events until you die.

@gruber I was just thinking that the last time I saw you in person was at C4[1] in 2007, and @jamesthomson even further back at WWDC...2006?

Gah. I'll be out back digging my own grave.

@gruber @jamesthomson Synchronicity.

I think I sent this to you when it came up on Hodinkee, but in case I didn't, Christian Gafner has re-introduced the MIH watch, with small (but nice) changes, as the Mechanik2: https://mechanik2.com/

Yes - Fragile (Steven Wilson Remix)

Fragile - IMO Yes' best album. Or at least my favorite.

No need to rehash my previous comments, but the remix here is quite interesting. On Roundabout, for example, Bruford's bass drum is nearly as prominent as his snare. And there's certainly no lack of Squire's bass playing, which is (as always) quite forceful.

Again from the Rhino box set, and another stellar pressing.

A DAT copy of a semi-rough mix of the lost Steely Dan track "The Second Arrangement”, from the Gaucho sessions, was found in Roger Nichols things:

I find it kind of amazing that Siri's notification announcement cannot pronounce "favorited"...and even pronounces the same word differently when reading it in two different apps.

Fah-vohr-et-id? Seriously?

How many years has it been?

Anyone else getting noticeably worse battery life with WatchOS 9.5 (including 9.5.1)? I’ve gone from like ~36 hours to under 24.

@gruber Is it bad that I gave up on smart watches, went back to 100% analog watches (+ an Oura ring) and haven't regretted it for a minute? Power reserve is great, too. 😉

@fahrni I don't think nuk-nuks are ever lightly used, almost by definition. :-)
