for the first time in two and a half years, a new note was played in this organ performance today!
![Organ²/ASLSP (As Slow as Possible) is a musical piece by John Cage.[1]
An organ in St. Burchardi church in Halberstadt in 2001 began a performance that is due to end in 2640. This makes it the longest running non-computerized piece currently being performed.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreiabq354dz537iuzii7lwylq56yyr4bcrzkj32by4z7fq3clewmssy)
I don't know how to explain to people that "the movie doesn't clearly explain this" is not the same thing as "this is a plot hole"
Youth sports were doomed when they got sucked into the hypercompetitive college admissions game. Soccer practice used to be a way to kill time after school until you could leave work to pick your kid up; now it's another thing your kid must excel at or they aren't getting into Yale.
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 2d agothe obsession with trans women in sports is, apart from the abject bigotry, a symptom of how we take amateur sports participation way too seriously in this country.
Part two is up! I had some *thoughts* about "Landslide" (which if anything might be kinda undersold and underappreciated) as well as a whole slew of other great songs.
Discord & Rhyme: An Album Podcast@discordpod.bsky.social · 2d agoThis week, we close out our coverage of the two self-titled Fleetwood Mac albums with side 2 of each LP, where the 1968 album sputters out a bit, but the 1975 album rolls out some of its most legendary songs, like "Landslide" and "World Turning." #MusicSky
You ever think about how Rubber Soul, Revolver, and Sgt. Pepper came out in a single stretch of 19 months
Mia Murphy 🏳️⚧️@miamurphy.com · 4d agoWhat's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)
I know that Christopher Nolan is taking a minute before he figures out his next movie, but if somebody could please introduce him to The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway that would be wonderful
We've gotta make the Monorail Simpsons episode required viewing for every city councilor in the country. Every single thing he says here is a lie. A Potemkin Village Imaginarium.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6d agoHassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
I'm on this one! Come listen to this one and part 2 next week
Discord & Rhyme: An Album Podcast@discordpod.bsky.social · last wk.This double feature is about Fleetwood Mac for 2 reasons: because they’re an interesting and important band, and because they have two self-titled albums that sound nothing like each other. Today's episode includes side 1 of each album; sides 2 are coming next week! discordpod.com/listen/175-f...
I find as I'm getting older that I've gone from finding people somewhat annoying who watch movies actively looking for plot holes to finding that my respect for them as people significantly drops and also thinking that this behavior is a sign of low intelligence.
I know exactly one clip from "Reacher" and this post makes me think of it youtu.be/EniNvCyTmas?...

Drew Magary@drewmagary.bsky.social · 3w agoIt’s fun when live acts introduce a song by name dropping it at the end of a little bit of stage banter “Hoo boy, I’m gettin a little turned on up here tonight. Reminds me of my days back in high school when I was 17 and when I was HOT FOR TEACHERRRR”

People getting upset about the lack of prime Achilles in The Odyssey because they don't know the difference between The Iliad and The Odyssey is my new kink
I'm half Greek and the Greek* hissy-fit over The Odyssey not sufficiently conveying Greek cultural heritage has been the funniest thing in the world to me. *Yes I'm well aware that this is mostly being astroturfed by the world's worst people but I'm not letting crybaby Greeks off the hook here
My journey of listening to the Miles Davis and John Coltrane discographies in chronological order has brought me to Kind of Blue, and hearing it in this context is reinforcing to me that it completely deserves all of its accolades and high reputation.
Me: "It's time to start eating healthy." Lettuce: "I'm going to give you explosive diarrhea!" Chips and cookies in my pantry: "I would never do that to you."
I learned today that there are lots of people who, because there is no scene where they say "we are in a relationship with each other," are absolutely adamant that Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler are not an item in Jurassic Park
It's strangely heartening to see that the Bluesky lack of literacy extends to an obvious shitpost
John McFerrin@tarkus1980.bsky.social · 4w agoLindsey Graham died. They say if you can't say something nice then don't say nothing at all, so I will say that Lindsey Buckingham was a really great guitarist and songwriter in his day.
