A colleague talked about Guts, how he discovered them on Spotify, but what he played was more Mariachi like...
This is nice though. Lost triphop.
Also great: "I want you tonight", same album.

Terry Pratchett - "Snuff"
#... whatever in the Discworld series.
As always, written well, yadayada, ... but I just cannot care. It's more of the same, the jokes don't make me chuckle, the tale is not gripping for me anymore, the writing style... I think I have seen it too often.
It's a nice book. But after more than 25 books, I think I'm a bit Pratchettet out.
I wonder if "the color of magic" or "the light fantastic" are still amazing reads for me.

David Byrne - "How Music Works"
"If a listener can predict where a piece of music is going, he begins to tune out. Shifting off an established pattern means you have to avoid the path of least resistance that digital recording software often offers."
Bing Crosby wrote a check to cover for the costs of Jack Mullin's German (found after the war) tape recorder so he could record his shows and play more golf.
3 1/2min songs: result of the 78s
LP: thematic albums emerged
"Cassette: it was an era of murky music."
shen, a Chinese mouth organ; maybe the first in which the notes to be played were chosen by mechanism, was brought over the Silk Route to Rome. Larger version was built, with a series of levers that selected the notes. Inspiration for the keyboard, as well as to Frenchman Joseph Marie Jacquard, who in 1801 made a weaving loom whose complicated patterns were guided by punch cards. Which was in turn inspirational to Charles Babbage.
All in all, there were interesting parts in the first half. And I think it very likely it was totally my fault for not enjoying and rushing through the second half. I just couldn't really care.

H.G. Wells - "A Dream of Armageddon"
Gripping tale, written in 1901 (!) of the horrors of wars to come, of a man dreaming of love and dying in that dream with the woman he loved.
Read amazingly well.
Read amazingly well.

zerO One - "Dreams" (OzOne)
Intriguing if you're looking for the more abstract clic-plop, with hints of the Altered Beast, this might be it.
