The godfather of house music, Jon Marsh, one of my personal heroes, released an anniversary edition of one of the best music albums of all time, Conscience. Being a pioneer of the electronic dance scene, Jon (along with his wife Helena), managed to create a new genre and lift it to heaven and back. Containing some of the best soft electronic songs ever written: “Sweet Harmony” and “1000 Years From Today”, this album is nothing short of a masterpiece, with a remastering to match its value. 🤍

Once I got hold of a ton of minidiscs with shady content, I decided to wipe a few of them and make myself some bootlegs of some really really good Romanian albums, and I play them from time to time on my Sony Minidisc MZ-N505 and MZ-R410. Great stuff!

Back in 2019, following the vinyl release, I ripped the sound and made some nice analog bootlegs on cassette and mini disc.

Made for fun in 2018, containing the soundtracks of said episodes.

A Unique Northern Irish Term for Embarrassment

"Scundered" is a term that is used to describe a feeling of embarrassment, discomfort, or awkwardness. It’s often used in situations where someone has been put in an uncomfortable position, or when someone is feeling self-conscious or embarrassed.

RIP.

Imagine pole-vaulting across dangerous terrain, down steep slopes and ravines. “Salto del pastor”—translated from Spanish as “the shepherd’s leap”—is just that. Now a folk sport and hobby, it was once the Guanches way of transport while shepherding on the volcanic terrain of the Canary Islands. Gregorio is a shepherd who still moves around this way, avoiding the use of cars and city life. Salto is now seen as a hobby or a leisure sport practiced by enthusiasts who continue the tradition. We meet Gregorio, as well as the others who have developed new techniques to enjoy this peculiar transportation, in this short film by Dorota Mazur and Robert Migas.
