"And so it goes": adventures in television | Linda Ellerbee

#tuesdaytunes

I haven't watched the 5-hour documentary yet, but I've rocked out to the 7-hour soundtrack.

Billy Joel's debut solo album, Cold Spring Harbor, was notoriously poorly mixed, sped up for a chipmunk-like sound. It was re-mixed in 1983, without Joel's participation, and was a mild improvement. For this soundtrack, there is a new mix of 'Got to Begin Again' and 'Tomorrow is Today', and they are excellent!

You Didn't Hear This from Me: (Mostly) True Notes on Gossip | Kelsey McKinney

pick

I audio-garden just about every evening (currently living on cherry tomatoes!) This was a funny and lighthearted way to pluck some veggies! Kelsey runs a gossip podcast where she essentially tells some tales. I haven‘t listened to it but I can bet it‘s entertaining. She explores many aspects of gossip in the book including urban legends, mean girls, high school, pop culture, reality tv, celebrity gossip and more. It was ok, but not memorable.

Storm Lake: Change, Resilience, and Hope on the Horizon in America's Heartland | Art Cullen

This first part of this book jumps around a lot, but if you skip to chapter 10 there is some great writing on the issues facing rural ag communities, including: population loss, worldwide immigration, corporate farming practices, pollution and the urgent need for more sustainable solutions. If you want to better understand food, US politics, and climate; read this book.

June #storygraph book report, right on track for 52 books this year!

#camplitsy25 pick Wild Dark Shore and a Murderbot novel take first place!

I think that‘s the last of the Murderbot novels. I hope Martha Wells‘ health improves and that she can possibly write more, I‘m obsessed with the series.

julesG She's working on another Murderbot, expected next year. I asked her on BlueSky not expecting an answer. So, was doubly happy when she replied. 4mo

Suet624 @julesG that‘s lovely that she responded to you. 4mo

Kitta @julesG oh wow that she responded to you!! Next year then, I can‘t wait! 4mo

In the news business, being first with clearly written copy is better than being garbled and last.

keithmalek You think? 4mo

My reading is getting quite interesting at this point of the year- novels for school, memoir for book club, and sci-fi & fantasy for relaxation! Enjoyed the tagged new release as a fan of the Normal Gossip podcast for my commute to work.
