I'm in complete agreement. I heard the long a lot when growing up, with no idea it was from a film.
Same for Holding Out for a Hero, from Footloose.

I've just improved the text layout code for PDFs, in the planner view.
* Improved and tightened the vertical spacing between lines
* Added an extra pass to repack text that's filling/overflowing the container

Thrilling before/after images attached.

Ah. I should probably switch to Wikipedia for the artist bios, at least when there's more than one artist with that name, because lastfm still doesn't have disambiguations.

qplanner now has refreshed artist data, and images are back!

Data sources are @musicbrainz.org @lastfm.bsky.social and @wikimediafoundation.org

I still need to add back the small images on the user selection page, and mobile long press.

I plan on adding artist checks/suggestions in the creator.

A really lazy and disruptive way around Imgur's geoblocking of the UK is to post the link on Discord and get their servers to cache it for you.

Lego should do an emoji font.

Just the basic facial expressions would be fantastic with the iconic Lego head shape.

This is a fantastic way to do it. Laborious, but full of charm.

If the locations are fixed it might be best to go by the average travel time to each destination, for the given dates.

This background image choice might not work well with every artist image/planner theme, but I thought I'd put it out there as it works well here.

Last.fm doesn't normalise track names against releases.
A frustrating oversight.

Imagine Poirot walking into a room in a modest bathing suit, gathering everyone around, and then entering a j'accusei, before declaring the murderer suspect.
