Spent my day finishing up dotnet-via-swagger-to-typescript type autogeneration at work, and my evening inching closer to a working auth flow for the still very much work-in-progress Elm mastodon client over a few beers and friendly non-technical discussion at the local "pilsners and programming" meetup. And then I get awesome new Janelle Monáe music when I get home. Pretty good day!
Holy heck these new Janelle Monáe tracks are good
Wednesday#JanelleMonáe has announced a new album: It’s called Dirty Computer and will mark her first album since 2013’s The Electric Lady. While a release date has not been set for the album, a trailer for the project, which includes an accompanying “film narrative,” will air in select theaters before screenings of Marvel’s Black Panther...
Today, Monáe has shared the first online teaser for the project...

If you guys are interested in reading something else by Jeff VanderMeer, the novella "Dradin, In Love" from "City of Saints and Madmen" is freely available here: http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/stories/dradin2.htm
The tone is much more humorous, but it's still a really weird and eerie story which I wholly recommend.
I would also recommend tracking down "City of Saints and Madmen" itself, because it also contains the fantastic story "The Transformation of Martin Lake". It's SO GOOD.
I'm really curious about how the second book ("Authority") continues the story, though. After reading "City of Saints and Madmen", I can say that one of VanderMeer's great strenghts is in varying his narrators' voices. And it seems we get a new narrator, in a very different situation, in the second book.
I really liked this book! No surprise there. At times, it reminded me a lot of VanderMeer's earlier novella "The Cage". In it, he quite vividly describes people being horribly transformed, or losing their grip on reality (or maybe finally seing it?) after contact with fungal spores.
There's a free podcast episode featuring that story avaiable if you search for it, but the narration is sadly so monotonous that I can't recommend it.
Also this is the first single's cover and it is ~everything~
LB: Because more people need no listen to this album.
Listening to the recently released second album from HOLY, "All These Worlds Are Yours". Magnificent psychedelic/garage/glam rock, definitely a bit of Ziggy-era Bowie in here, but a lot of other stuff as well. The song "premonition / ◯ / it shines through" is a good representation of the album, so check it out if you're curious! https://itisholy.bandcamp.com/album/all-these-worlds-are-yours-lp
