Minidisc bootlegs

Minidisc bootlegs

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!

Luna Amară - Nord - Bootleg

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

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.

Founding member of Poesis and Pasărea Colibri, Marius Bațu was a loved musician. He will be missed. Sad, sad day for the Romanian music.

Salto del pastor

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.

È come se fossimo bambini :)

RIP Tony Todd

His Candyman character is both loved and feared throughout the world, but I loved his dark and ominous presence in the Final Destination franchise. But most of all, from his performance as the main counterpart in The Man From Earth, the great anthropologist. Rest in peace.

Fuck your webp

That’s it. Fuck your webp. And if you use webp, fuck you too.
