Peter Erskine is a highly regarded Jazz drummer with quite the resume, having been with Weather Report and Steps Ahead. This is a smooth one highlighting Peter's soft and precise work in support of an excellent trio. Another very well recorded live album. Turn down the lights and have your favorite beverage at the ready. I think you will enjoy this one.
OK, going to head downstairs and face the music. One more thing before I go:
A bit of Art Noxon's background on the development of Tube Traps... ASC Blog: "How Tube Traps..."
I like Art's thought process. His writing isn't perfect, but then... he's an engineer. <G>
Same, and i’ve found some uses for those wall warts. This morning, I found a big bag of network screws, rack nuts, and equipment ears that I’ve had for a decade and forgot about. Those are going to one of my techs in Toronto who mentioned a few days ago that he ran out when working in a new client rack. You never know when some of these orphaned items may come in handy!
Check it out! It sounds fantastic, to say nothing of their amazing music choices.
RP is a bit like NW Indiana (where @RCBinTN and I grew up): if you don't like the weather music, just wait ten minutes...
I've found more amazing music on RP than anyplace else. I send them a donation every couple of months. It's that good!
Just me an' Bill enjoying a chill evening together. My sole RSD purchase this year and I didn't even have to battle the Swifties for aisle space. Was sent to me by a friend in Florida who labeled the return address as 'Florida Man Records'.
My recommendations are maybe not such crowd pleasers, but I love disturbing the wave Two quite different recent edgy releases, via Bandcamp. Slow Water is very much what the title states, music responding to different water behaviors. Quite unlike anything else I've heard recently. Unknown Rivers is a new take on late 70s free-ish jazz (think Old and New Dreams).

Purple has a bit of history**:
“In Europe, since some Roman emperors wore a Tyrian purple (purpura) toga praetexta, purple has been the color most associated with power and royalty. The British Royal Family and other European royalty still use it as a ceremonial color on special occasions.”
There's the old adage: standards are like a*h*les, everyone has one and every else's stinks. Not to mention the well-known XKCD take on it.
A story:
Very early '90s, attending a conference, Xhibition, where DEC, HP, MS and a bunch of others announce the new graphical UI standard, Motif. Why did the world need Motif (which sucked, btw)?
Because Sun, almost completely dominating the workstation market, had OpenLook. Rather than compete with that, which would have accelerated the state of the art in graphical user interfaces exponentially, on an individual basis, they created a terrible standard that they could all rally around and prevent Sun from "owning" yet another standard.
UI in general, and GUI in particularly, stagnated for the next 10 years. This, of course, massively benefited Microsoft because workstations never became "user friendly" enough to supplant the abomination that was Windows in the '90s. I actually confronted the "architects" announcing that decision telling them that that was the consequence of what they had done. Their expressions told me everything I needed to know.
A very similar thing happened with "application servers" (which underpin most of what normal people consider "the internet"). In that case, it was IBM, BEA Weblogic, and HP in 2001 deciding what the proper way to write an application on the Web was. Ugh. Maybe that's what caused the Web crash which happened 2-3 years later?
