Video game played on guitar? That's what I'm up to in this here video, my first ever attempt at editing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTqfFfTM_GE

There are nine games represented here: Vagrant Story • Sonic the Hedgehog • UNDERTALE • Streets of Rage II • EarthBound • DELTARUNE • Final Fantasy VII • 2064: Read Only Memories • Tetris

Yikes, since updating my @archlinux system's packages only two hours ago, a whopping 228 new package updates have become available. Seems like python going from version 3.11.8 to 3.12.3 is the cause.

It's updates like these that make me really appreciate the work of our package maintainers. Cheers, all!

• Solid-State Drive Naming

We've settled in the land of SSDs and a travelling salesperson has approached offering two items:

A: https://uk.crucial.com/ssd/mx500/ct4000mx500ssd1
B: https://uk.crucial.com/ssd/p3-plus/ct4000p3pssd8

Built with its newer technology, what are we calling B?

You know how we can tag people cross-instance here with our @person syntax? What if, when linking to profiles at whatever site we fancy – e.g. https://listenbrainz.org/user/M.%20del%20Carpio/ – we used that syntax to fake-up tags to them? So I'd maybe fake that one up as: @m%2E%20del%20Carpio@listenbrainz.org

We know it won't resolve to anything today, but may this kind of thing encourage sites to federate, and even let it resolve in the future?

P.S. Bearing in mind we may need to encode some characters.

Today in we have the release anniversaries (one a Wood Jubilee) of a duo of duos' albums to celebrate:

[14] Autechre's "Oversteps": https://autechre.warp.net/release/249266-autechre-oversteps
[5: Wood] Sleaford Mods' "Eton Alive": https://cargorecordsdirect.co.uk/collections/extreme-eating/products/sleaford-mods-eton-alive

Primeval is the quality I hear running through these two. In Oversteps' string-like sounds – guitar, harp, dulcimer – as if modelled after echoes found in ancient archaeology, and Eton Alive's howls about society.

Happy Anniversary, @sean_ae & Rob; and Jason & Andrew!

Today in we have the release anniversary of a stratospheric album to celebrate:

[16] Autechre's "Quaristice": https://autechre.warp.net/release/249272-autechre-quaristice

Flying in the slipstream of 1997's four-quartered Envane, Quaristice was the first Autechre release I caught as it happened. Pretty sure it was in the buildup that Mary Anne Hobbs whetted my appetite by playing 'Simmm' on the radio. And I once toyed with 'chenc9' in Pure Data for an unstaged show of The Wizard of Oz!

Happy Anniversary, @sean_ae & Rob! <æ

Today in we have the release anniversary of the first Autechre release of the year to celebrate:

[27] Autechre's "Envane" EP: https://autechre.warp.net/release/249373-autechre-envane

Ingredients:
• ¼ disc of goz, scratched
• ¼ disc of latent, recalled from memory
• ¼ disc of laughing, roughly chopped
• ¼ disc of draun, sawn and peeled to reveal the soft, dreamy interior

Method:
Layer everything up on a platter and spin.

Happy Anniversary, @sean_ae & Rob! <æ

Today in we have the release anniversary of one of the all-time great videogame soundtracks to celebrate:

[31] 古代祐三 (Yuzo Koshiro's) "BARE NUCKLE II" OST: https://vgmdb.net/album/357

Known to my Sega-owning friends here in the West as "Streets of Rage 2", I discovered this hard-core techno inspired OST myself later in life. At times dreamy, funky, unsettling, this one takes its parent game and console by the hand and leads them along the paths of history.

Happy Anniversary, Koshiro-san!

You know when you recognise an actor in a TV / film trailer and wrack your brains for the show(s) you know them from? Just bring that thought to the world of music.

ListenBrainz already lets us track our music listening from various sources and is connected to MusicBrainz, "the best music encyclopedia on the planet" – @evan in https://cosocial.ca/@evan/111598000849512991.

What if ListenBrainz could do the brain wracking for us, telling us when some song or other is playing "you know the bassist from these tracks"?

Today in we have the release anniversary of an all-time great video game soundtrack to celebrate:

[24] 光田康典 (Yasunori Mitsuda's) "Chrono Cross" OST: https://www.procyon-studio.co.jp/library/detail/020.html https://archive.org/details/chrono_cross-original_soundtrack-1999

The Chrono series could have been my life's biggest near miss. I had both SNES and PlayStation, but neither game. "Trigger" I played and adored via emulation back in college, and put off "Cross" for years fearing it couldn't live up to it. Unspeakably grateful!

Happy Anniversary, Mitsuda-san!

It's been a good long while since I last restrung my guitar. So I've bought a new set of strings and will put them on live on stream tomorrow!

Well, today in we have the release Pearl Jubilee of the (¿compilation?) album that began it all to celebrate:

[30: Pearl] Autechre's "Incunabula": https://autechre.warp.net/release/202833-autechre-incunabula

It is the end of the day that "Incunabula" evokes for me. Autumn nights, wrapped up wandering the fleetingly lit streets, lost in thought putting the pieces of our days together.

Happy Pearl Jubilee and thank you for the music, @sean_ae & Rob! <æ

on Black Friday, for https://mas.to/@eleanorrees/111466072492922314 by @eleanorrees

What's your approach to Black Friday sales? Do you buy things in them? Do you share posts against Black Friday as an evil capitalist con?

I guess if you happen to buy a thing in the sale that you had to buy anyway, your best judgement may decide between do or don't buy.

Hiya @ixi, cheers for following and boosting my post about ListenBrainz. Hope you don't mind me taking the liberty of checking out your stats: https://listenbrainz.org/user/IXIX/stats/?range=all_time

Not sure we have much overlap there, but I do recognise some of your top artists (Interpol, Bloc Party, Smashing Pumpkins, Placebo) and wonder if you'd be into Warpaint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1SV1NqSZGQ

Social web feature dream: The ability to relate (sets of) posts together to say "these posts are referring to the same thing".

I'd use this for these posts and their replies:

https://mas.to/@miblo/111380067627144896 by me
https://social.kernel.org/notice/Abq7z1gh5dhvxJdBUu by @monsieuricon

Sure, we have hashtags, but they rather work to put the posts into a pool of others also bearing that hashtag. I'm thinking of drawing a line between specified posts to say they're related.

Does already have this, I wonder? cc: @evan

Hiya @Joannanewsomsuperfan, I just stumbled upon you while trying to see if Joanna herself was here, and figured you may be into the fact that today is the 17th anniversary of "Ys": https://mas.to/deck/@miblo/111409404604605840

Loving !

Yesterday, 12th November 2023, I began tracking my music listening on ListenBrainz: https://listenbrainz.org/user/M.%20del%20Carpio/stats/?range=all_time

I'd been doing the same on last.fm since 8th November 2006: https://www.last.fm/user/Miblo

In all those years on last.fm I had no idea where it got its information, or if I could add / edit any.

ListenBrainz, though, is related to , which I've been on since 2009. And, seeing that some recent listens lacked data, I could add it.

Joined-up thinking in action!

Today in we have the release anniversaries of a duo of sun-kissed albums to celebrate:

[29] Autechre's "Amber": https://autechre.warp.net/release/202836-autechre-amber
[18] Kate Bush's "Aerial": https://www.katebush.com/aerial/

I love these days (17th Feb is the other) when we celebrate both Autechre and Kate. For me, this one is a passing of the electronic baton. Kate's (current) final – before the jazzier 50WfS – and Autechre's first conceived as an album focused on electronics.

Happy Anniversary, @sean_ae & Rob; and Kate!

Today in we're on Autechre day with the release anniversary of the third album to celebrate:

[28] Autechre's "Tri Repetae": https://autechre.warp.net/format/594952-tri-repetae

I dunno, guys, it was 1995, the year Wipeout also arrived on PlayStation (I never had it, just a demo of the later 2097 on my Demo One). And, though the closest Autechre and Psygnosis got (AFAIK?) was via tDR's artwork, Tri Rep and Wipeout are the two pieces that call each other to mind the most for me.

Happy Anniversary, @sean_ae & Rob! <æ

Today in we have the release anniversary of an elemental album to celebrate:

[22] Victory at Sea's "Carousel": https://victoryatsea.bandcamp.com/album/carousel

For me this is rock music that speaks deeply, personally, disinterested in riding with or against prevailing winds, of the kind that, even a mere 22 years after release, I'm feeling must be preserved.

And thanks to it now being a Free Download, any of us with 322.7MB storage space to spare may well help preserve it.

Happy Anniversary, Mona, Mel & Fin!

Hi @outsidecontext, just wanted to thank you for making Peek. I discovered and used it yesterday to do the video supporting this little Mastodon feature request: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/27598

Today in we have the release Tin Jubilee of an elephantine EP to celebrate:

[10: Tin] Autechre's "L—event" EP: https://autechre.warp.net/release/249378-autechre-l-event

Couple of things I've only just realised about this one:

  1. I hear echoes of 'Gantz Graf' in the opening track 'tac Lacora'.
  2. With L being 50 in Roman numerals, the Golden Jubilee in 2063 will be the big one.

Also, I did some mashups of the cover with an old avatar on release day (still got the files, dated).

Happy Anniversary, @sean_ae & Rob! <æ
