And the fact that Alex Turner came up with the title by texting him the word “Kalopsia” (because they both love weird words) only adds to the legend.

The whole album …Like Clockwork is brilliant. Glad I found it at last. 😊

Such a beautiful song. 🖤 Especially when you know that Josh Homme wrote it for his daughter, as he mentioned on Norah Jones’s podcast … (also worth a listen!)

“Oh, why you so sad? What have they done?
Forget those mindless baboons, they're off playing God
Copycats in cheap suits are playing it safe
While cannibals of bad news consume a parade”

Just ordered my first Shure mic. And no, it’s not an SM57 or an SM7B, but an MV88+ to record my son’s violin concert in stereo. Let’s see how it goes … 🤞

The last few minutes of this fantastic interview are the answer to why AI will never make beautiful music. Ever.

✍️ New post: A Past Tense Word

What I took away from a wonderful Josh Homme interview. And yes, it somehow turned into a post about working on the web again …

I need to get my battery below 25% before I can replace the display. The best way I could think of: opening the LinkedIn app.😁

Any ideas what I could do while I’m there? Tricking people with a cliffhanger into clicking …more? Posting an AI-generated list of 7 things successful people do before 5am?

What does the S in SI *actually* stand for then? 🤔

So … it’s “SI” now? 😂
This is all so comically absurd.

My iPhone 11 screen broke after all. But you know what? A replacement screen, either refurbished or by JK/NCC, is only about 30-40 €. That’s worth a try – and sounds like fun! Let’s see how long we can keep that thing alive … ♻️🤓🪛

Noooooo! I made a huge mistake. I watched a few minutes of the deranged racist‘s AI ramblings in the Ruby World keynote on YouTube – and now my feed is full of that guy … 🤪

I‘d better go watch that Cumberbatch documentary now! 🌍🌱
