FM - Old Habits Die Hard

Got a signed copy of the CD; how exciting.

Cream - Disraeli Gears

It may not have been the greatest year weatherwise - too much rain and wind - but the Robins and Blackbirds in our garden have fledged chicks. Never known it so early, I suppose that it hasn't been too cold this year. Not been warm, but not cold.

I know that it was a repeat last night, but the BBC News caption describing the asteroid expert as an astrologer really burst my knitting. We're legally bound to pay these muppets a fee.🤬

An ironic struggle today. Ten minutes.

Quote from: Slim on April 02, 2024, 01:53:11 PMBought tickets to see Mica Paris later in the year. Not having seen her sing for decades, I'm starting to think it might have been a mistake unfortunately.

This was last night at the Jam House in Birmingham. We'd been there once before to see Mamas Gun but it was packed out last night. Despite my expectations she was really good. Lots of geeing up the audience, she's a natural frontperson and she really belted them out.

She has a lot of original material to choose from; despite this her set was at least 50% covers. Fantastic versions of Tom Browne's Funkin' For Jamaica and Jacko's Remember The Time especially.

Her band is good, not great. Talented guitar player but more a heavy blues player than jazz or soul. A bit more restraint and subtlety would have gone a long way, probably true for Mica's vocals as well but there's no doubt it was a hugely spirited performance.

Soon you'll be  able to talk to a business DB in natural language, do searches based on content, etc. Larry Ellison, the man being interviewed here, will be 80 in August.

Tried an airsonic snap install that worked fine but scanning media folder gives nothing back.. its setup same as my working Debian one so I can't figure out why it's not seeing any files.. very annoying and being shit at Linux doesn't help..
