Litovaj Popolaj Kantoj kaj Dancoj

La plej frua longdaŭra vinila diskego en Esperanto estas ĝenerale konsiderata esti la albumo Ni Kantu en Esperanto de la jaro 1964. Ĝi estas la unua diskego menciita en la Laŭjara katalogo de muzikaj diskoj en Esperanto kaj la listo de Esperanto-muzikalbumoj en Vikipedio, inter aliaj fontoj. Pro ĝia stato kiel la plej unua, mi elektis ĝin kiel temon por mia unua artikolo en tiu ĉi retejo - sed mi lastatempe devis korekti mian priskribon de ĝi kiel “la unua diskego” al “la unua 12-cola diskego”, ĉar mi trovis eĉ pli fruan 10-colan diskegon en Esperanto: Litovaj Popolaj Kantoj kaj Dancoj, kiu eldoniĝis en 1961.

In 1935 a reporter from the Vauxhall Motorist wondered how exactly road numbers worked - so he strolled down to the Ministry of Transport and asked them. His brilliantly tongue-in-cheek article, published 90 years ago, explains what he discovered. www.roads.org.uk/articles/roa...

A day at the Ministry

Back in the 1930s, car ownership was on the rise, scores of first-time motorists were hitting the roads, and road numbers were still a novelty.

I mostly play ukuleles and ocarinas. I arrange old music (mostly folk, and some classical) for them, and I talk about the instruments as well.

The death of multi-camera TV: a thread. I know most of you will know the technical parts of this (and may have read it in the other place) but bear with me. 1/ 🧵

I just searched and didn't get any results for P7ZV-3QJ. It might be worth contacting FamilySearch support if you're still seeing it?

I had to opt in to use CETs, so unless they've changed that I assume you'd have to be aware of them if you were using them! Did you upload a GEDCOM file at all?

I've seen that message before when I've been working on a CET (private tree) and it's found a duplicate in the main public tree.

I'm sure sed is technically the wrong tool for editing GEDCOM files. But if it works...

Internacia Kantaro

En mia lastmonata artikolo, mi traktis la demandon pri la unua kanto en Esperanto. Hodiaŭ mi volas pli detale priskribi la fruan Esperanto-muzikan kulturon, kiu ekzistis antaŭ la ofta uzado de registr...

Fakte mi tute forgesis pri la kasedoj de la lernolibro! Dankon pro la memorigo. Eble oni ankaŭ konfuzis la du titolojn antaŭe, kaj estas pro tio ke oni menciis kasedan version de la albumo en la 90aj jaroj, sen iu ajn alia trovebla fonto. Do dankon!

Probably my favourite of the Radio 4 quizzes. Hopefully they'll find a new producer for Brain of Britain soon though!

Ĉu iu scias pri kaseda versio de la albumo "Jen Nia Mondo" de Duo Espera? Kompreneble mi scias pri la vinila diskego (1967), sed Rok-Gazet' n-ro 9 mencias postan kasedan re-eldonon. Ĉu iu havas - aŭ havis - ekzempleron kaj povus diri al mi, en kiu jaro la kasedo aperis? #Esperanto #EsperantoMuziko

Mi antaŭe ne konis ilin - sed nun jes, dankon! Mi aldonos ĝian muziko al la Datumbazo en la venontaj tagoj :)

It's the probability of any rain at all in the specified time period, which in the UK is defined as at least 0.1mm. It's calculated by running a simulation of the weather many times with a range of values for things that can't be known in advance, and counting the number of times rain is predicted.

More sketches in my black sketchbook. This time with soft pastel pencils. This might be my favorite material so far. They pop and I can still work precise with them. I hope you enjoy seeing my experiments. For me it has been fun to work with supplies I haven’t worked with for years. #Art

#langsky An interesting find! Some characters in a 1900s Welsh-language scifi speaking #Esperanto, as auxlangs have become commonplace in the world

I was expecting this record ("Lithuanian Song in Esperanto") to be kinda folky, but it actually turned out to be more like easy listening!

Mi imagis ke tiu ĉi disko estus iom popolkanteca, sed fakte ĝi estas kvazaŭ "easy listening"! (Ĉu oni diras "facilan aŭskultadon"?)

A larger than softball sized grapefruit my 13 inexplicably brought home to try, with googly eyes stuck on it, making it seem like it's looking very upset at the two tiny Advil in front of it I placed there for both scale and comedy
