@owen Also, you should know there were many tracks I either couldn't find on Spotify - like Wendy Carlos' version of Ode to Joy used in Clockwork Orange or the primal Bicycle Built for Two experiments from the mid-60's, and like half the tracks from my old "it's more fun to compute" playlist also qualify, but I didn't want to repeat material.

Enjoy!

Owen and I have been sharing Spotify playlists for the past year or so. My rules for making them are that there has to be some sort of thematic unity and it has to be exactly two hours long (as rounded by Spotify). In honor of the book about the history of the vocoder that I'm nearly done reading, I have compiled a playlist of music that features vocoders. There are certain types of music that tend to favor vocoders (Electro - a type of techno - being the most popular), but I've tried pulling examples from other genres. If anybody else is interested in hearing it, the link is posted right after I get my character count to 666. There.

Great, one week on Tin Can Phone and I'm inundated with nude photos of my dad.

Haven't spent that much time poking around, but I do have a question about TinCan. Maybe it's just my settings, but all my posts are in reverse chronological order, which is as expected, but if I respond to somebody's post, it doesn't attach itself to that post in any way so unless the response is immediate, it's hard to tell what the response is to. Is there a way to make posts threads with responses posted under the original post?

So landscape photos are the way to go, apparently.

First dinner I've cooked in a month. Chili braised pork butt from Salmon KnowsRat.

Don't care much for Awards shows (except the Oscars, of course), but a show based on The People's Choice has an undeniable significance this year.

Working the People's Choice Awards. The beginning of a very long week. Miss all of you.

Good morning/evening everybody! I seem to be a little slow in adopting the new technology. I can't poke around too much now as work is unravelling and needs my attention, but I'm delighted to be invited and look forward to many happy hours chatting and sharing with my favorite people and doing everything I can to make sure my very first post uses the entire allotted character count for a single post. I love & miss all of you and am looking forward to seeing what you're all up to. And that's zero
