I haven't yet but it's another great feature. I wish I had a field like this in my brain for people in real life. ("Recently divorced, don't mention Candice")

Soul for Rent
"Soul for Rent" is the Bandcamp edition of the album of the same name on all platforms. The title track is a dialogue between saxophone and guitar. Music tries to tell a story. This one is a lament. Our loneliness in the universe?

How I learned French in a Hotel Bar
I awoke to hundreds of honking car horns the next day and the smell, not of croissants and espresso coffees as I dreamed, but diesel fumes, I was still really excited. You know what’s great? Being really excited in a strange and beautiful city, with all expenses paid! And when I say all, it will taken on additional significance shortly.
That irony had not occurred to me until two of you mentioned it!
No, and we (the VUC) had nothing to do with putting there. It just got sucked up in the podcatchers.
Interview: Richard Stallman & Free Software Foundation
Listen to this episode from Visions Under Construction on Spotify. After about 37 emails back and forth, the formidable reputation of Dr. Richard Stallman did not scare us off. What resulted in this episode was a very interesting and enjoyable discussion about everything he's known for. You can wa...
We interviewed Dr. Stallman 6 years ago for our VUC podcast (2007-2019). Unfortunately, the video isn't available as he refused to use YouTube. I know the episode is on Spotify, but it may be available on other podcatchers.
Actually, I come from a time when anything related to sex needed that warning (for kids, too). For years, I think the kids thing is superfluous, since they learn all about sex much younger. As for work, like I said, depends on who can see your screen. As a conversation starter, "I sneeze every time I come" might work well in some situations.
It's just an odd thing and it can start any time in life. It can be one sneeze or a few. Ideation is one thing, but after orgasm, with a new partner, awkward!
Over 100 tracks on Bandcamp
Guitarist with Pure Food and Drug Act, Canned Heat, John Mayall, Freddy King, John Lee Hooker.
I haven't found an ideal federated app for sharing my music, but while it's on all platforms (Spotify, Apple, YouTube, etc) it's also on Bandcamp for ad-free, unlimited streaming. I am not trying to make money, I just would like my work heard.
Adding to no one in particular... as I've been following several potential destinations for the Twitter mass migration, they all have one thing in common: 99% of posts are in English. Twitter's age and market penetration let it reach a large worldwide audience. As Mastodon has been around for 6 or more years, it too has some international diversity, but less that Twitter I think. (Someone chime in on the language of the population if you have info?
It's so much that people didn't use search engines; more like they typed site URLs into Google search! 🤣
Right! You have to look at context. Remember the first time you got on (Usenet/Compuserve/AOL/Friendster) or whatever your first Internet experience was? Twitter was a new thing. Now there are 20 Twitter look-alikes but none can go back to the novelty.
Thanks for that. I'm brand new on Lemmy so I'm just learning how to reply, upvote, etc. Although I've had a Reddit account for years, I never go there unless I'm looking for a technical solution of some kind. Better than searching and getting ten useless YouTube videos as results 😄
There Will Never Be Another Twitter
Twitter wasn’t just software or visible leadership (for better or worse) but an entire important slice of Internet history.
Over 50 years of music
Introductions may or may not be a thing here. This is my first post. Over the past half-century, I must have done one thing you'd like. My favorites are Hendrix, Cream, CSN from the 60s, Miles Davis etc from the 70s, Brecker Brothers from the 80s (?) and way too much from then on.
