1. Tfw a gypsy jazz player playing la pompe takes a break to blow out a bit of 8th note melody with a few triplets and then plays a diminished chord in three rising inversions and then goes back to la pompe

    have had http://www.radiomanouche.com/ on all morning. this stuff is kind of a blur but that’s OK.

  2. Edit: oh, this one that caught my eye but it isn’t the only one, see: https://pixelfed.social/p/DocPop/806269366762456744

    graffiti on the side of a wood-sided garage  in Orange Alley, in San Francisco. The garage is tagged up with mostly black nonsense and some red nonsense which has been tagged over with a large, frame filling yellow figure outlined in black, filled in bright yellow. The figure has two buck teeth but mouth closed, a - for an nose, a spiral for one eye and a < for the other eye. Next to the figure is another black lined shape of the same size filled in yellow that could be a ✌️or something else, idk, that’s what I see at a glance.

  3. Totally thought I’d licked the entire time change thing until the everloving wife pointed out that I had made dinner an hour late every day this week. I went back to cross reference the last post I made in chat at work and even that was an hour later than I normally work.

    what the hell? I’ve been getting up around 5AM like I normally do and then just disappearing an hour somewhere to fall back?

  6. Just got around to ordering prints to go in the the mat we had everyone sign at our wedding 18 years ago, from the dvd the photographer burned us, which I’d eventually lost, but only after uploading them to flickr which I eventually deleted but had exported first, 9 years ago, which I only just imported to apple photos from my file server.

    ✅ can you order me a print of this picture? [a data warehouse of crossed out due dates]

  9. The sonophone ios app has a delightfully responsive volume slider but the navigation confuses me so I can’t get into the habit of using it exclusively.

    this home assistant hack can’t do search, which is a bummer.

    honestly plexamp continues to be the most delightful but they’ve chosen to deprioritize and kill http streams too, and its speaker targets are limited to airplay and bluetooth, and both stink.

  10. This is all so stupid. I assume accessing http streams and favoriting them is not a revenue opportunity and thus prioritized somewhere below first party enlightenment sound daemon support, so the “new” mobile app hard-rake-staircase-ollie 🙄 (the designers did a great job, the engineering decisions worry me) still can’t do what I’ve been doing for nearly fifteen years.

    home assistant can, clumsily, so I faked up the old UI with four sonos cards each locked into single mode.

    The sonos mac app on my machine this morning. Sonos has used this hokey three column layout for a very long time. Left: speaker selection and grouping. center: now playing artwork over playlist. right: source services, media library, or favorites, currently displaying favorites.

    the same dashboard on my phone, which collapses all of the columns into one, is incredibly silly, but works just fine for me, assuming I can trick myself into remembering to use it instead of opening the bad app first, which I tend to do.
