I don’t know how else to describe this, but parts of downtown St. Louis smell distinctly like a used bookstore. Like a room stuffed full of musty aging books and yellowing magazines.

if you have any theories why, I’m all ears.

Libraries and bookstores should vent that smell into the street to attract book nerds

I retraced my steps and the smell is definitely coming from the abandoned Railway Exchange Building across from the Hotel St. Louis. Maybe it’s just the smell of musty decay and I associate that with great used bookstores. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_Exchange_Building_(St._Louis)

Here’s a thread of some good stuff I found on the internet recently, starting with Louie Zong’s latest, “a song about perception?? and messing around with content aware scaling lmao” https://youtu.be/D9JKCoj8BJc

    This is it, the last XOXO ever. Really proud of this launch lineup, and I love the website @ashur and @emicab made for it. So fun! https://xoxo.zone/@xoxo/112480714014034873

    @cabel Your post led me to this 21-year-long forum thread collecting research about the history of the original robot, which dates back to ~1938 Japan. Love this packaging. https://www.alphadrome.net/forums/topic/13496-lilliput-robot-main-research/

    The latest Bobby Fingers video is a ride, as usual, recreating the moment just before '90s heartthrob Fabio was hit by a goose while riding a rollercoaster— or was he? The last five minutes are wild. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RIEPKEhE2s

    This Japanese YouTuber covers songs using Family Composer for the Famicom Disk System and a bunch of '90s portable music sequencers. They're all delightful. Here's Pink Floyd's "Any Colour You Like" with multitracked overdubs?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhePsAHeCT0

    andybaio,
    @andybaio@xoxo.zone avatar

    Here's Steely Dan's "Peg" on the Family Composer. The video description says, "Enjoy the seaside café atmosphere." Perfect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ahLQnTq-d0

    Here's "St. Alphonzo's Pancake Breakfast," part of Frank Zappa's "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" suite from 1974, multitracked with two copies of Family Composer and the Yamaha QY70. This is gonzo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Swvtt15jdJI

    A bunch of these are process videos: here they are making another version of Steely Dan's "Peg," this time on the Roland PMA-5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrUmImNikgY

    @annaleen Unbelievable, I'm going to be out of town when you're here. I'd love to see you!
