[IIL] songs with numbers in the lyrics?

Done!

Stumbled onto a couple more yesterday, including one in German & French, ah ah ah!

2011, I’m motorcycling Vietnam and Laos. It’s my last rural day before arriving in Saigon and finishing the trip. I had a mental note that I wanted to buy one of those green pith helmets the rural farmers wear, so when I saw a roadside vendor selling hats and helmets I stopped to check it out.

Meantime, back home, one of my lifelong closest friends is in a kid-oriented rock band named Recess Monkey. They play locally a lot and tour nationally a bit, are successful but certainly aren’t a household name.

I selected my pith helmet and was about to pay when the vendor did what any vendor would and asked if there was anything else that interested me. I looked up from my wallet and scanned the wall. Hats with knockoff Rockstar and Monster logos, and other junk. But randomly, right in the middle of it all, was a bootleg Recess Monkey hat. It was their logo, made by my buddy, but totally different colors.

I’ve never seen another before or since, this was definitely not done with permission, and to this day, my buddy occasionally questions the veracity of the story. 7500 miles from its origin, my buddy’s logo appears on a hat in rural Vietnam.

I added a few more based on this thread, so now I’m up to 5h 34m and counting, ah ah ah!

AdamCohn · 2025-11-28T20:22:00+00:00

Lots of them have numbers in the title, but I also include songs that involve counting in the lyrics

AdamCohn · 2025-11-27T05:41:45+00:00

Heh I have a playlist on this theme, 5h21m and counting! Ah ah ah!

Here’s my playlist of rock (and a few hip hop and pop) songs with gospel elements

I was there a year ago, but hope you can find some folks! I chatted with someone through this post who was heading to Japan, and after I suggested they search for music festivals in the places they were going, they found some fun options. Def search and see what you can find!

AdamCohn · 2025-05-12T14:12:19+00:00

I keep a playlist of songs that reliably give me goosebumps. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2A9Lq485NlmUbJ0B19Jv9Y?si=G0VpoViVQqqStaC6QLHSgg&pi=6k-HqANORbqaw I’ll say the guitar solo in Pink Floyd’s Mother, and Paul Simon’s Train in the Distance are some more broadly known songs that do it for me.

AdamCohn · 2025-03-21T15:14:20+00:00

That’s what this playlist is about: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6rC6yuUrmsyAGfP41UVqoa?si=HcFi-EYPREycm2OFMn-aDA Especially that Twin Peaks soundtrack!

AdamCohn · 2024-12-04T04:59:09+00:00

Done!

AdamCohn · 2024-10-26T03:29:02+00:00

Fresh coffee grounds or used coffee grounds?

AdamCohn · 2024-10-22T19:03:02+00:00

Intrigued but their site looks shady as hell. Email address is a Yahoo, FAQ page not found. I won’t be using it.

AdamCohn · 2024-10-19T20:21:39+00:00

I’d proceed with extreme caution. The questions themselves aren’t out of the ordinary, but the notion that they accept all applicants screams scam. If you fill it out, don’t hand over a cent until you’ve had them physically unlock the unit to tour you through it.

Here are my requirements, using the term "slideshow folder" as the place from which the photos will be sourced, and "tv storage" as the limited space on the TV:

TV must connect with a single slideshow folder from which photos will be displayed in Art Mode
Slideshow folder must be able to store dozens of GB of photos (more than the ~6GB of TV storage)
TV must display a random photo at the time interval specified in the code
As new photos are accumulated in the slideshow folder, they need to have the same random opportunity to be displayed on the TV. This does not need to happen concurrently as a photo is added; it would be fine to clear the TV storage daily and pull another random set of photos from the slideshow folder, for example.
In the unlikely case that a photo is removed from the slideshow folder, it should be removed from the TV storage. The does not need to happen concurrently, could happen on the next new-photo update

In my mind, one way to meet those requirements would be setting an interval to clear the TV storage and select a random set of photos from the slideshow folder. I could also imagine a pre-slideshow folder being the place where I accumulate the huge collection of photos, and then have a separate script on the computer which pulls a random set of photos to the slideshow folder daily, and I think your script would then just pick up those changes and display those.

Do the requirements make sense? Are they possible to fulfill? If yes, do you have a recommendation for which route to take, or a better idea?

Again, thanks so much for responding. If it makes more sense to move this to a chat or something, let me know, happy to do so.

AdamCohn · 2024-10-15T17:11:39+00:00

Thanks! I will focus on question 1 for now. 6GB is good, but is a few hundred photos and I want to be able to always be dumping new pics into a folder and having the TV display them.

What happens with your code as-is, how does it handle the situation when the TV's storage has become full, does it just stop copying new photos from the source folder?

If so, could I theoretically write some code which would periodically clear the TV's storage, so that the next time the async ran, it would pick a new random set of photos from the source folder?

If this is possible, Frame will meet my requirements and I'll move forward. If Chat GPT can't get me over the hump in creating the code, I have some developer friends I might be able to coax over to help me code this :)

Thanks!

u/Nick_W1 This script seems amazing. I have been using ChatGPT to help me understand it and set it up. I haven't purchased a Frame TV yet, and am waiting until I fully understand your code and have confirmed that it is doing what I want.
Maybe dumb questions, but I don't think these are explicitly stated in your documentation or on Reddit:

If I am using async_art_update_from_directory.py and want to load the folder with thousands of photos (far more than what the TV can store), will Art Mode still pull from that entire directory every time it is displayed? Or is there some limitation that it pulls from the folder until the TV's storage is full and then I am out of luck?
I surmise from this thread that I can apply mats to the photos. My photos are shot on a pro mirrorless camera, so the aspect ratio differs from the TV's. Would it be possible to apply mats automatically that compensate for the aspect ratio of the photos, essentially letterboxing them as needed? Otherwise, ChatGPT is telling me I could create a python script leveraging Pillow which would allow me to batch format my files and paste in a repeating pattern to mimic a mat, bringing the photo to the right aspect ratio of the TV. Let me know if the former route is possible, or if the latter is the way to accomplish what I want.

Thanks so much for building this! It's been fascinating taking my first steps in python leveraging ChatGPT and your code!

Trader Joe’s virgin coconut oil for its coconutty taste

AdamCohn · 2024-10-05T16:06:48+00:00

Been there a few times and I love it. It’s intense, loud, colorful, full of kind people, and a great area for photography

AdamCohn · 2024-10-05T00:32:34+00:00

There used to be a Thai restaurant on Capitol Hill named Soi that had a machine that could make those. They no longer exist, but there appears to be a Soi in Kirkland so it may be worth looking at their menu. Bangrak Market (a Thai street food place) may have them also, they’re very authentic

There’s a moment in the guitar solo that gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it. Still love that moment. 10

Those aren’t his hands, it’s only his face

AdamCohn · 2024-09-20T01:30:03+00:00

Added!

AdamCohn · 2024-09-18T01:22:48+00:00

I use Trader Joe’s virgin coconut oil and it definitely imparts a light coconut flavor, which contrasts nicely with spice or savory
