@jgamet The right hand not only doesn’t know what the left one is up to, it doesn’t even know it is a hand. :-)


@jgamet the music db seems generally unstable, updates probably contribute to it, but I’ve experienced the kind of flakiness you describe for years. It’s hypnotic really—

I'll just add this new album to my collection. Cool. Yeah, download it. Great. Next day Play that album I just added. Sorry, not available in your area. You mean my id is a mystery to you? Relogin. Oh, it’s you. Here’s that album. Next day Oh, but not this one track. Sorry. Currently unavailable.

So we’re really subscribed to maybeMusic.



@SimonWoods Ah, right-oh! I’ve updated the bookshelf. I was blissfully unaware of that biography. Cool. I’ve added the Joyce bio from Burgess, but left the Shirky work because it’s a good one.

And @jean, feel free to do whatever you like with this :-) shelf.




@Annie it is, thank you @SimonWoods, I noticed one author misattribution, Here Comes Everybody was written by Clay Shirky. Anthony Burgess wrote A Clockwork Orange, among other things which might not be right for this list.

Speaking of which, before I go looking, are all of these titles in someone’s Bookshelf already?


@camp in re session discussion - Some category or such to indicate desire for inclusion/exclusion in aggregate categories for distribution wouldn’t be bad. I hope you know what I mean. There are a lot a lot of different ways to go about doing these sorts of things. But some positive agency in how stuff is served is always good, for me at least :-)


@jsonbecker as a title it has its appeal, but as a suggestion for action—the throat does catch. How would we, modern post-industrial behemoth that we are, local galaxy big player we imagine ourselves to be, how would we supply Americans with enough alligators? Oranges, okay, put thirty in a bag, take 'em home, juice. But alligators are an entirely different thing, man. Entirely different thing.
