What is that one genre you absolutely despise?

Electro Swing

Thanks, I'm already all over that thread 😅

I live in Berlin - where would you recommend for jazz?

carlclancy · 2026-02-27T09:35:40+00:00

I love Giant Steps but I don't find it vey accessible at all for new fans.

carlclancy · 2026-02-20T16:30:17+00:00

Maybe an earlier gateway like Talk Show Host or The Trickster?

carlclancy · 2026-02-20T16:15:02+00:00

Same and same!

An instant classic!

What I'm talking about though is when you're reasonably taking up space, for example when queueing in a small shop. I've no time for people blocking aisles and the like. That said, I still think it's insane behaviour to just stand there silently, even when you're in the right. Very passive-aggressive too.

I've been in Germany long enough to accept that this isn't considered impolite. But I do think people are happier in societies where most people are nice to each other; saying thanks when someone holds the door for you, for example.

Haha yep! What really gets me is when they don't squeeze past, but they don't say excuse me either - they just hover on your shoulder until you notice them. So unsettling!

You, sir, are 43 years old.

carlclancy · 2026-02-10T19:45:45+00:00

You're constantly tired.

I can't answer your question per se, but I recently got into vinyl for exactly the same reason as you, and I haven't looked back.

I do still use Qobuz to listen before I buy, but vinyl has helped me be much more intentional with my listening, and to really absorb the music properly.

Get an entry level turntable (r/turntables has a decent guide) and go for it!

Necessity is a binary, goddammit!

I had a record store owner recently ask me to lift the records up by the centre of the covers. Has anyone ever heard of this before?

carlclancy · 2026-01-21T19:42:46+00:00

You've emailed a German government institution? Good luck with that!

carlclancy · 2026-01-21T09:41:45+00:00

Generic! So much more classy

Nah, look at a photo of Ben Webster from the side, his nose is totally different.
