Not quite ready for Xmas music, listening to spiritual music nonetheless. Mary Lou Williams - Live at The Cookery. A piano bass duo recorded in 1975 (beautiful piano tone throughout). Haven’t found a Williams album that I don’t love.

This is great. If I didn’t already have this in my collection I’d jump on it. Recommended ambient zones!
Happy thanksgiving, y’all. Feeling grateful.

This makes me think of my old favourites which are weird but somehow great like Train 48 (an improvised soap opera set on the Go train I think) and Nothing Too Good For a Cowboy (about homesteaders and ne’er do wells if I remember). Hopefully the CBC Gem streaming era is a bit of cancon tv revival
I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

also, I know Darklands isn’t as *important* as Psychocandy, but it is my favorite J&MC album.

There’s so many great music writing articles, reviews and deep dives here. And without any of the pop up advertising that affects most media sites. Really enjoying catching up on past issues.

I’ve ended up trying to “master” the mixes I’ve got for my project so far. Using a little eq as I mix, and then using light compression and limiting on the final step has made something that sounds good to my ears, loud yet keeping the dynamics and feel of what I’ve mixed.
I know some sound inclined folks follow me here, any great ideas about mastering? I’m trying to read up on doing it myself with my DAW for my upcoming home recording project that’s in progress.

The water in Halifax has definitely tasted ... different lately. www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...
Why does the water smell and taste bad in parts of Halifax?
The smell and taste, which makes the water unpleasant but not unsafe, is caused by geosmin, which has been detected in the Pockwock supply
