Hello there, I am trying again with this social media thing because I want to engage with cool people but avoid the general toxicity that comes with being online in 2026. I just want to talk about the cool #VideoGames I'm playing, #Books I am reading and #Music I am listening to.

THE SHARP PINS
Radio DDR
2025 U.S. pressing

More perfect #lofi #janglepop from Sharp Pins!

I posted the equally excellent Turtle Rock last week, and I’ve been giving repeated listens to this one as well.

I guess this was originally released as a home tape in April of ‘24, and this vinyl version is expanded to 14 songs, straddling that awesome line of do-it-yourself Guided By Voices, Big Star, some Beatles, as well as some of the clsssic sounding British Invasion bands, too.

I’ve taken quite a shine to Kai Slater’s songwriting, and I love these records.

In what ways can music exhibit processes analogous to biological ones?

I'm interested in where the analogy works as well as where it breaks down.

I've been reading Lem's 'The Invincible' and I'm absolutely obsessed with the idea of necroevolution now.

Like, you know when you make generative music and you set the constraints and let emergent interactions arise? I've been wondering how music itself was choosing the selection of constraints. Trying to think of a really weird non-biological acoustic entity that violates ontology just by existing.

THE ID
The Inner Sounds Of The Id
2023 U.S. 2xLP MONO reissue
Blue And Purple Vinyl

Last spin of the night goes to one of the most satisfying reissues of all time for me.

Such a killer (and criminally underrated) #psychedelic rock record, & Sundazed really outdid themselves here.

An EXCELLENT sounding mono reissue from the original analog master by Kevin Gray, but where this separates itself is the bonus record.

A completely different version of the album was found when they rediscovered the tapes.
THOSE are alternate instrumental versions of the record (which are mixed in stereo here), and they really show how these great tunes were constructed.
Bass player Glenn Cass’s playing is much more up front on the instrumentals, and he only heard them for the first time during the reissue’s prep.

This is just a killer record, & maybe it’s definitive version.

The Wild Hills o’ Wannies really is an excellent tune, isn’t it? This thought is brought to you by the recording on Pauline Cato’s “The Wansbeck Piper”, which unfortunately for sharing but fortunately for artist-getting-paid-for-her-work I can’t find on the interweb streaming whatsits… so here’s a video of Becky Taylor instead https://youtu.be/zBsyoVgAilQ

PROTOMARTYR
Hotel Usona
2026 Europe Ltd. Edition pressing
Gold vinyl

Just picked this up today, and I’m about to throw it on.
I’m super excited for this.

I’ve been all-in on Protomartyr since their first record Under Color Of Official Right, and each time out, they have offered something a little different than before, always engaging, always interesting.

They’re a band I’ve always appreciated, and will always support when they put out something new. They are fully themselves, and just do what they do.
Just a great band.

Nice packaging here, too.
A very cool double-sided poster, their customary “Your Lucky Numbers” zine that comes with every new album, and a rad bumper sticker.

Stay tuned…

REVIEW: Jet Black Berries “Sundown On Venus” https://americanahighways.org/2026/09/23/review-jet-black-berries-sundown-on-venus/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #music #americana #rootsmusic

Please forgive the length of this post, but it does take some explaining. I am totally blind and am interested in learning to play classical guitar. The music that interests me for this endeavour is opera, Neapolitan, Italian art song, serenades, parlour songs, Spanish guitar, etc. not folk, popular, rock, country, blues, and so on. I found the following two resources for the blind.
https://afb.org/aw/21/2/16906
https://letsplayguitar.org/
The problem is how they teach. I am not the sort who wants to learn a few chords and begin playing songs after my first or second lesson. I am a firm believer in learning music theory, scales, and exercises, and only after a very long while, playing actual songs. This is similar to proper singing instruction, which can take up to six years. To me, these other methods are the equivalent of Vaccai, or for those unfamiliar with him, learning a few tourist phrases of a language to get by, instead of learning via grammar, dialogues, translation, memorisation, etc. Whether or not I ever perform in public, I don't want to learn half way. I do have Harmony : its theory and practice by Ebenezer Prout for the theory, and I am using Perplexity to clean it of errors and supply the missing notation when possible.
https://archive.org/details/harmonyitsthe00prouuoft

Having said that, I am now researching some nineteenth-century guitar teachers. I've come across names such as Carulli, Aguado, Carcassi, Legnani, Molino, and Sor, all offering something different and for different levels of study. It seems that, for a beginner, Carulli and Carcassi, and possibly Aguado might be good choices. Despite its date of publication, I couldn't find an accessible version of Carulli's Op. 241, though I did find a good lecture about it on Youtube. However, while he plays the notes, I have no idea what fingers he is using for what.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oowE9bD_k44
I also found an English version of the English edition in hard copy on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Ferdinando-Carullis-Guitar-School-Tablature/dp/3950550283

My main problem as a blind student is notation. If he writes strictly on the staff, I won't be able to follow him, unless I could possible run the text, which I will first have to scan with ocr, through Perplexity and see if it can make sense of it. If he uses his own notation 1 through 4 for the left hand, and p for the thumb plus a through d for the right), I can read some of it. But that still leaves me with the issue of where to place my fingers on the strings i.e. first fret, second string, index finger. They offer modern tabliture, but I beleive the same problems will still exist. I don't know, as I know nothing about that system. At the first link for the blind, they mentioned an accessible chords site, but while their main page still works, their accessible one doesn't, and the main one just gives diagrams for the scales and chords with no text to read.

Does anyone know where I can find an accessible course for the guitar that is more traditional, or at least a place where I can learn the scales and some exercises?
