  6. Sixth book of 2024: “How Infrastructure Works: Inside the systems that shape our world.”, by Deb Chachra ( https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/612711/how-infrastructure-works-by-deb-chachra/).

    I feel like more than a few people I follow posted about this over the past year so I eventually followed suit. More memoir (again!) than I’m normally into but just enough history, novelty, and new-to-me theory to be pretty good after all.

    The hardback cover of “How Infrastructure Works: Inside the systems that shape our world.”, by Deb Chachra, as I read it. White Helvetica-lookin’ title, subtitle, and author name in equal large sizes and weights over black asphalt spray painted with circles and arrows in orange, pink, and yellow. That infrastructure / utility workers paint the ground in specific colors in the U.S. is actually detailed in the book, so this is one of those rare cases where the cover artist read the book and wasn’t overruled by the publisher to do some other stupid thing instead. Huzzah!

  8. This is a qt of https://social.lol/@spotlightonpod/111952783201740255

    so after reading this I thought of a monthly “new artists” CD mailer subscription I had in the late 90s that I coulda swore had a Marley track one month, which is weird, right?

    so I checked my Plex for Marley, picked Catch a Fire, saw “Midnight Ravers”, which was the chorus I was thinking of, but not it.

    ddg for a remix and found it: Bill Laswell’s “Dreams Of Freedom (Ambient Translations Of Bob Marley In Dub)”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8sDYYwu2t8

    neato.
