Finally iOS 17 support Facebook!? You’re either a year too late or confused.
@bjhess I’m still to listen to the whole album more than once. I listened to the singles before and they’re pretty nice. Nothing is groundbreaking on the album. The cover song, where his daughter sings, is a really good song. Reminds me of Porcupine Tree. Gilmour’s own songs often lack some energy for me but they have nice moments.
Eter (our internet radio player app for Apple devices) now supports sharing radio stations. A surprise awaits those who come to the share page without Eter installed on their iPhone. Try it: eter.apparentsoft.com/stations/…
David Gilmour’s new album is out now.
My 🐕 Sparky is addicted to snacks and would sometimes bark to request them. I now call him “addictator”.
🎵🚨Gonna have the premiere of my new song release (that I started writing in late 2020) in 5 mins at www.youtube.com/watch It’s a kind of a singer-songwriter rock.
@odd I also haven’t been buying physical media for a long time. In May we went to an antiques store and saw all the CDs and LPs there and, somehow I now have an LP player and a few records. It’s a different kind of experience. I’ve almost forgot how it feels listening to physical media.
I bought two Kansas vinyl records yesterday, though I don’t know them well. Is an opportunity to get better acquainted. Also, what beautiful sleeve in this one. The other one is their first album.
If you buy physical media, do you usually buy albums you already know or new stuff to discover?
🎵 Did you know I write a newsletter related to my musical journey? I just posted some “behind the scenes” for an upcoming songs that’s been (too) long in the making. music.gorban.org/posts/spa…
I like how in the past bands would often invest in the cover art, sometimes with quite original ideas like here. A bonus short appearance of Sparky 🐶 in the end of the video.
🎵Which albums’ cover art do you like the most?
I went to a mastering studio yesterday, for finalizing my next song release. This was a fun and educational experience. 🎵
Apple stock is down 2%. Coming back up “later this year”.
This 🎸 solo, played by Larry Carlton for Steely Dan, is such a melodic marvel and a lot of fun to play. 🎵 Kid Charlemagne.
Ha, ChatGPT. I caught you!
I have to say that in my various, limited testing of llama-3 AI model vs ChatGPT 4 Plus, I often find llama-3 following instructions better and giving more precise results. Quite surprising. These two images are ChatGPT4 and llama-3-7B run locally, which actually gave a better result.
So happy about the new music from David Gilmour, one of my main influences on guitar. The first single’s video is just out, and it’s a better song than I was expecting, given his previous output lately. Good energy. www.youtube.com/watch
I came up with this funky part Tuesday evening. It’s really fun to solo over when looped. Could be a basis for a full composition, I think. 🎵🎸
I’ve recently connected with a local singer and recorded his vocals for a song that has been waiting for better vocals for a couple of years 🤦🏻♂️. I’ve been trying to sing it myself but my vocals are not good enough. It’s a lesson I learned with my last song. Now I’m in the mixing stage.
Yesterday, while driving, I heard two songs on the PRM online radio that I liked. With the new history feature in Eter, I later added these albums to my Apple Music library. That’s exactly the use-case that I envisioned this feature for.
@iChris I’m waiting for storm here in Winnipeg. But supposedly it shouldn’t snow as much here as further west.
🚀 Eter 2.0 is now on Product Hunt. If you’re part of the community, check out the launch: www.producthunt.com/posts/ete…
We launch Eter 2.0 (an online radio streaming app for Apple devices) on Product Hunt tomorrow. We’ll appreciate it if you follow the launch. You can get notified at www.producthunt.com/products/… Requires Product Hunt account. IYKYK.
The now-shut-down Apple car project was actually a cover operation. They were never going to compete with Tesla. Instead, Apple is going to compete with Space X. Also, introducing SpaceshipPlay.
In elections a few years from now, I’m afraid we’re going to vote for a person (or a party) that can write the “desired” prompts to the AI, asking it to suggest policies to achieve specific outcomes (fiscal, international policy, security, education etc). “Vote for me to ask AI this question!”
This Valentine’s Day, show your love to your musical instrument 🎷 🎸 🥁, by playing them this song: You Make Me Smile: open.spotify.com/playlist/…
We all know the proverb, “Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are”. I think it needs a 21st century update of “Tell me who you follow on social media and I will tell you who you are”.
🎵🚨 Just another reminder that last week I’ve released a new rock song of which I’m very proud.
Take a listen and use the opportunity to follow my account, too, where you listen. Spread the word, too. Thank you.
Wut!? Apple brought easy category browsing back to the App Store app? Hurray.
@ddanielson I approve of this choice. Personally, I haven’t listened to a vinyl in decades but it does evoke nostalgia.
@JohnPhilpin so it’s interesting. Curation (or editorials) could help with actually sifting through the noise but, apparently, in practice this doesn’t work. Or even if there’s curation on the track level by the streaming services, the customers still don’t care about a specific artist. No loyalty.
@JohnPhilpin yeah. Also, as a “small unknown” musician, just the basically endless amount of music makes it hard to get my music out. Some people, especially people who know me, might listen to it once, at most, and then move on to the next new music.
@JohnPhilpin Interesting article about the Pitchfork going down and all the layoffs. Makes me think about the music industry future, too, especially as someone who both feels it in the tech (death of tech journalism, at least in the App Space) and, on the other hand, as a musician.
@dwalbert interesting. But I can’t find anything about this “Java Script” in Yahoo! Portal.
@yurkevich yes, it was so exciting to see and touch those physical packages.
@JohnPhilpin hehe. Yea, must be surprising coming to a smallish private Slack and finding a familiar face. I like the app. It’s not perfect but they iterate rather quickly. Still missing some usability stuff to make it more useful but it’s certainly an interesting product that can be helpful at times.
@JohnPhilpin I’m a customer. Not on the team.
@jean thank you for the update. My memory servesd me bad here. I thought it used to work but I must have always used the web in that case. It’s been a while since I posted a video.
@joeltimmins thank you
@jemostrom I’m sure Moom and other window managers are great. On my personal Mac I set up a few keyboard shortcuts with keyboard maestro to position windows if needed. But having some built-in support is still welcome, even if it’s quite sub-par.
@zorn if these are Jira tickets, I believe Jira integration does this automatically.
@ronguest that’s also my thinking about 3D printers. Cool tech but I can’t think of more than 1-2 small things I may need it for. Haven’t seen anything helpful in Thingiverse either.
@mattgemmell it works. You have an advantage to many other novelists by being a techie, too ;)
