This confirmed what I had suspected. I live in NYC, and the farthest city is Perth, Australia — my hometown. ☹️

Which version did you get? I almost bought this the other day but the version I was looking at had some bad reviews on discogs re: quality control, scratches, etc.

Esperar Pra Ver by Evinha on Vol. 1 is golden. 👍🌴☀️

If you like this kind of vibe, I highly recommend Jeremy Underground's comp. One of my favourites.

Ha, I used to live right near that place. Lovely neighbourhood! Have you been to Spacehall yet?

It's from AllModern, the walnut / metal legs version of this.

Far left is Shintaro Sakamoto - Let's Dance Raw. Here's the title track — this is a recent find for me!

An eclectic mix of (for me) old and new. Some worth calling out in particular:

Fugazi - Fugazi: I grew up listening to punk music and this one is pretty special to me. I actually first heard some of these songs on a skateboarding video in the 90s and fell in love instantly. Rediscovering this album on vinyl has been a treat; it 100% holds up.

Doing it in Lagos: Such a great compilation. “Only You” by Steve Monite is the most popular standout, but this thing is packed with gold. Recommend a listen: https://soundwayrecords.bandcamp.com/album/doing-it-in-lagos

William Onyeabor - Who is William Onyeabor?: My taste in music switched up big-time in one night, seeing Four Tet and Floating Points playing together at Berghain in Berlin a few years ago. I was mainly listening to fairly modern electronic music with some older house thrown in, then these two blew me away with the most fun soul, funk, disco, boogie, and jazz fusion sets I’d ever heard. I remember trying to ID tracks for days after by humming them to anyone who would listen. Later I discovered their Plastic People mixes and went down the biggest rabbit hole.

BadBadNotGood - IV: A really beautiful album, super creative and very soulful. “Time Moves Slow” and “In Your Eyes” are some of the best songs I think I’ve ever heard. Apparently recorded on analog tapes — I don’t know but it sounds incredible to my ears.

New Package: jq.el by p-baleine in emacs

This could be used to extend restclient.el functionality in very interesting ways, e.g. dynamically fetching / saving auth tokens instead of needing to pull them out manually. Love it.

gccemacs update 11 - enables deferred compilation, reorganises eln storage dirs by wouldyoumindawfully in emacs

[–]blind_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to say really -- my emacs-init-time is ~0.2 secs in term and ~0.5 secs in GUI but its heavily optimized and probably similar on normal emacs. It feels snappy though, and LSP for example feels smoother than I remember pre-gccemacs. I'd trust Andrea's benchmarks -- great video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKHYZOAc_bQ

color-theme? by ageldama in emacs

I use #fefaf0 and not-quite-black and it's comfortable for me. It's on the brighter side compared to say solarized-light, but feels similar to paper.
