As far as I can tell, it has nothing to do with the Irish tune of the same name.

Kim Johnson on banjo, Jesse Pearson on fiddle. Rest of the album is great too.

This Baby Boomer-centric sentiment seems to crystallize around one topic in particular: modern pop music’s treatment of love and romance—or the lack thereof. According to Boomer Bob, the love song is dying. But is it true? Let’s investigate...

Hi, does Rockbox have a limit regarding album art resolution? My iPod G5.5 only shows it for some tracks, sometimes with ridicously long track durations in the progress bar. Any ideas? TIA

[update 01]: RB apparently prefers JPEG until 600 x 600 pixels, ideally not progressive. After updating the cover art to 150 x 150 sizes, the iPod briefly displays the album art for ~10 sec max, followed by skipping to the next song and the same behavior all over again. Not sure if this is happening because the database might still be updating in the background.

[update 02]: issue seems solved: File transfer to the iPod should be done in disk mode of the iPod OS, otherwise songs will be corrupted.

Thanks everyone to contributing with your input!

This is downright brilliant Talking Heads parody and satire about the sad state of modern gaming.

Haven't heard this song in a good, good while until I was at the grocery store today where it was playing overhead.

Apparently, I'm "this grocery store is playing my jams" years old haha.

Love the dark autumnal vibes. Music that takes its time.

Seems there is no 60s music instance on the fediverse so I'll post it here. John Cale is on this too, might have done production as well but I might be wrong. Anyway, awesome track imo.

I've mentioned before how Coldplay was the first band to set a goal of cutting their tour's carbon footprint by 50%. According to their latest update, they've cut their emissions by 59% in the last two years, compared to their previous tour, through reducing air travel and even using a power-generating dancefloor: similar to that of a concert venue I reported on a few months ago in Glasgow, Scotland, that’s heated and cooled using the stored body heat of concertgoers.

It’s time for an update, though, because there are a lot more efforts afoot to curb the emissions from the music industry and call for climate action at a broader level. This week, the whole newsletter focuses on the music industry - the good news, the not-so-good news, and my top inspiration.

Have you heard about Bonkwave and Not Bonkwave music? It is a music movement and community that defies simple "genre" restrictions or any strict definitions. A lot of fediverse based musicians are involved.

The first disc of the 3rd compilation album is premiering on 25th october 20 UTC on Radio Free Fedi. You are cordially invited to hang out, listen and have fun. venue: https://party.radiofreefedi.net
