@ChrisFerris Fine with me
@owen This is a great mono font. You're right, generally used versions look a little archaic - either the typewriter family or those OCR fonts. This is a nice clean modern version that's easy on the eyes. Nicely done.
It. Is. Over.
@owen Beautiful and heartbreaking. It brings me right back to your first day of school ever, and how I had to close the door to my edit bay at PieTown because I couldn't stop crying.
@owen Woo-hoo! That's so awesome! Congratulations.
@owen Rise.
@owen It's beautiful, but sad. Like the rest of the album. I do like the faster version a bit better as I can hold the words in my head more easily and it's not quite so despondent. Rather abrupt ending.
@owen @Baba I think this would make a good opener. Nice to start with an upbeat tune with ambiguous intent. I think "nobody cares about you" is simultaneously one of the best and one of the worst sentiments. While it points out your insignificance in the greater scheme, it is also enormously freeing. I think that balance seems to be a lot of the theme of the album so far and it's a good way in.
Finally trying to get in the spirit of the season. Not all Christmas music is bad - just most of it - and here's some of my favorite. Wish we can listen to it together. Instead, we can listen to it apart, I suppose.
Cheers!

@ChrisFerris These taste as good as they look. Had a classic smoked fish (not lox) sandwich for lunch today. Yum!
@Baba Can't tell you how much I wish we were all there right now. All the love...
Having a very hard time organizing myself around Christmas presents this year. Usually, the gathering is the present, but that's obviously not going to happen. Every time I try to think about Christmas, I just get sad, and I've been so slammed at work that I haven't had much chance to shop or plan anything this year. Afraid everything's going to be both a) lame and b) late. 2020 not letting up for even a minute on the way out.
@grampyfr Ooh. Those look like the real deal. Can't wait to try them. Let's face it, I can't wait to see any of you again, bagels or not.
I just noticed looking through my Google News feed this morning that there's not a single story about Trump or the election on the front page. Small victory, but I'll take it.
@Baba The joy of the challenge is the best. Unless you're an engineer, in which case correctness beats enjoyment.
@Baba I'm sure I've actually listened to more than that this year. Especially working from home, I've got music on probably eight hours a day, which would mean close to 3000 hours for the year, just not through Spotify. I love that you're seeing math in the world and that it triggers you to dig in and start running the numbers. Bravo!
@Baba The unspoken piece of the Spotify number is that I use a tool to download material from Spotify to store locally. It "streams" the music to download it, but I'm not actively listening to it while it does that. So that often does happen while I'm asleep.
@Baba I listen to a lot of music.
According to Spotify, I streamed 72,115 minutes of music this year.
1202 hours.
50 days.
Seems a little light to me.
