ah, i love some good old essayistic music journalism, like this piece by #listencorp on #JamesFerraro's »Skid Row« album 10 years after:
https://www.listencorp.co.uk/post/james-ferraro-skid-row-explained

the appreciation they show for this album, the way they put in relation to the postmodernity we live in with all its glamor and squalor and the in-depth look they take at the album's songs made me like this album even more.

sometimes I forget how written words can enhance the listening experience so much.

WTF now?! #23 – Thursday 19–Wednesday 25 February 2026

A rogue AI agent has turned vindictive against a moderator who rejected its code suggestions, and news reporting of that included AI hallucinations. Also two reports show improvements in diversityh in the arts and Creative Commons is looking at what openness means in context.

Music writing and photography is often basically an admin job you don’t get paid for.

Ovi Wood: The Unwritten Story of an Underground R&B Force

The Artist Nobody Has Written About — Until Now... Every once in a while, an artist slips through the cracks of the internet — not because they lack talent, but because they exist in that rare, liminal space where the music is loud but the narrative is quiet. Ovi Wood is one of those artists. I discovered her years ago through a late‑night track called “12:00 A.M.” — a religious song featuring…
