Mixing consoles

I've always loved instruments made by Yamaha

I've always had the best of experiences with them.

Wether it is their

• woodwinds
• brass
• string
• electrical instruments
• Bass Guitars

I have always had a great matrix of experiences. I love their craftmanship and dedication towards the work, from the simple recorder which is designed and produced with the same care as their hand crafted brass string and other acoustical instruments, to their robotically produced electrical instruments

Same is my experience with Yamaha PA and studio audio equipment. Regardless of the age of the design, the equipment is sturdy, can withstand electrical fluctuations, works proper for years, and is maintainable, provided you follow the service manuals to the letter

This is one example of a mixing console, a sample of PA equipment I have from Yamaha. I use it for radio, live sound, TV studio and many other purposes

It's coming up to three months of learning trumpet (about two months of lessons). The book my teacher gave me six weeks ago is supposed to last a full school year and we're nearly finished it – this sounds more impressive than it is because the book is for beginner musicians, not just beginner trumpet players. So there's lots of 'this is a minim/crotchet/rest/key signature' which I don't need to learn.

Biggest challenge continues to be lip strength. But also I find it hard to be thinking of everything at once when I'm playing something new. There's finger positions, intonation, pressure, pitch, so I find myself gripping the trumpet harder than I should, and getting a sore hand afterwards!

I spoke about that with my teacher and he reassured me that there's so much to think of, no wonder I sometimes find it hard. It will be fine with time. He is a good and patient teacher and we're doing more and more duets – this, I love, because you have to keep up and keep playing, no matter the mistakes!

I can play almost 30 minutes at a stretch now, which is making practice sessions more enjoyable. So the short version of this post should read: Trumpet. Still loving it. Music is so fun. The end (or actually still very much the beginning).

13 years in the making, through ups and downs and bad times and good, SOTA released what we consider to be one of the most unique rock and roll albums ever released. Both gen-X leftys, we took metal, punk, goth, industrial, and classical music and threw it all in a blender to create an album that sounds like no other. I have yet to hear someone be able to say, "SOTA sounds like (insert a particular band)"

Got my retro rock tune up tonight. Two chords with capo on the 5th fret. Em and A fingering shapes. Basically I just recorded a bunch of jam tracks, wrote some lyrics and pieced it into a song. The lyrics are about my sweetie Wendy. Been together 39 years now. The song is my Valentine’s Day gift for her. The pic is our old ‘69 VW bus on the way back from long beach on the west coast in the 1980’s. Good times. #music #songwriting #recording #gearsquad #guitar https://youtu.be/KgMphVUexN8

Trumpet update: I've now had three lessons, and yesterday my teacher also gave me the book he used to use for beginners, and it's super. I can play whole notes from the A below middle-C and up to the C above middle-C.

Yesterday I learnt B-flat.

Teacher: So now you know your first flat!

Me: Yes! And it's B-flat, which is my favourite flat.

Teacher: ...is it?

It then occurred to me that not everyone has favourite flats? Surely that's not the case!

Apashe has released a new EP from Ukraine. He says "This project was filmed in Ukraine during the war. The choir was recorded on a calm day, between nights of air raids and shelling. As I’m writing this, Kyiv is in a blackout.

This city has always meant a great deal to me, and I hope this video can, in one way or another, help people understand what is happening there."

I hope, that someone will end this war soon!

Aretha Franklin. Now

Aretha Franklin is another artist where one is spoilt for choice as regarding an LP for this list (any of he classic period Atlantic LPs is worth having). I have chosen Now as it has the classics I Say a Little Prayer and Think, and as always the other tracks confirm that anything Aretha sang, she transformed. (If you like gospel then I'd also highly recommend the double live LP Amazing Grace).

I consider my friend Mtume to be a renaissance man. He's a film maker, an actor, an emcee, and a producer. In the world of hip-hop, he's made music under the names Sir Tumes and Core Rhythm.

Fasforward to 2012 when I finally got to see them live at Pinkpop (full concert on YouTube). Didn't play one of my favourites then.

4. It's 2015 and my love and me are enjoying the Best Kept Secret music festival again. On Saturday the rain poors down. We walk from tent to mainstage and discover Christine (now Chris) and the Queens. A performance which bursted with energy. We danced in the rain. Sweet memories.

Fediverse AOTY List – So Fedi, what albums got your attention in 2025? 🎧 🎶

Once again we’re compiling a Fediverse-wide, community-sourced Albums-of-The-Year (AOTY) list, of the albums – from any year – that rocked our worlds and got us through the last 12 months!

About 60 of us joined in last year and people seemed to like the idea of doing another round this year, so here we are! The call is open from now until the end of the year, then around New Years I’ll do up a blog post on the 1001 Other Albums site with the final list, complete with links to find the albums. You in?

The Rules:

1) Anyone with an account in the Fediverse can participate. I’ll include each submitter’s username in the final list, leaving off the instance unless asked to keep it in.

2) Reply/DM to this post with your top album(s) of the year, to a MAXIMUM of 3 per person. I also accept emails (johnmastodon@1001otheralbums.com) if you include your Fediverse username. You can also reply to the parallel toot on the automated account https://linernotes.club/@1001otheralbums.com@1001otheralbums.com.

👉 “Top” is absolutely however you want to define it – favourite, most listened to, most personally important, most thought about, most surprising find, representative of an artist you really got into, etc.👈

👉 “Of the year” does NOT have to mean the album was released in 2025. Your submissions can come from ANY year, so long as it was key in your 2025 listening.👈

3) The final list won’t be ranked or voted on, and will simply be ordered alphabetically. Multiple entries for the same album are most welcome and will be noted in the final list.

4) Notes/reasons for your picks aren’t necessary but totally welcome and, if included with your submission, I’ll probably put them in the footnotes like last year.

Feel free to boost this as widely as possible, I'd love as many people to join in as would like.

In the meantime, we’ll continue going through our 1001 Other Albums list and will have a handful of regular spotlights before the final Fedi AOTY list is posted. Also, a reminder that we're doing a Fedi-sourced blog post on January 8 celebrating the 10th anniversary of Bowie's Blackstar album - check out the pinned toot for details if you'd like to join in on that as well! 😎

Until then, hope you’re all enjoying AOTY season and (re)finding some great albums to get you through the rest of the year.

In an effort to enjoy life more, I've been trying to get back to stuff that I really love, the sorts of things that always have made my heart sing, you know?

One such thing is playing music. I took lessons in piano and oboe when I was younger, and taught myself some basic chords on the guitar. But I also wanted to try something new. So for Christmas, Adam bought me a musical instrument and it came today. Bet you can't guess what it is 😂

Vinyl hope.

A trip to the local record store (landspeed records) to look for a Christmas present.

The place is pumping. Jostling with young people riffing through records and inspecting the vintage seconds clothing at the back of the shop.

I’m checking out the Jazz section, and this dude in his late teens stands next to me, intently reading the album notes on a John Coltrane disc. Incredulously, I cannot help but remark: Are you into jazz?

Absolutely… and I don’t have this one.

Could it be that there is a growing backlash against the streaming services and a desire to own an actual physical manifestation of the music?

These records are not cheap….$60 to $100 AUD for a mint disc. There was a queue to the cash register.

Some think this so-called vinyl resurgence is a rebellion against the soulless, empty convenience of digital streaming….

To young people in 2025, there is nothing in particular that stands out about listening to music via a subscription. For many, that is a soulless endeavour. There are no buttons to press, mechanics to feel or actions to take.

The aesthetic of a vinyl record is welcoming. […] a much more tactile and tangible movement than hitting a ‘play’ icon on your smartphone. […] Vinyl records offer an intentional listening experience that is undeniably deeply personal. While streaming services provide convenience, they can’t quite replicate the flow that comes with putting the needle down on your favourite record.

Why Vinyl Records Will Become Popular Again Among the Younger Generation in 2025

Others think it is more of superficial response…a way to physically signal your love of a particular group or artist, in addition to grabbing their stream.

Fifty-six percent of Gen Z fans like vinyl for its aesthetic, while 37% use it as home decor, according to a Vinyl Alliance survey. It’s part of what Jared Watson, an assistant professor of marketing at New York University, calls “symbolic consumption.”

“It could show that you’re a bigger fan or that you appreciate the artist more,” he noted, adding that albums are “affordable art.”

Gen Z’s search for decorative collectibles is fueling vinyl sales

Jostling with the crowd in that record shop, and watching the young adults vinyl-hunting I had a definite feeling there was some sort of rebellion going on here.

Being way out of touch with the gen-whatever cultures, I have no idea how this is all playing out. Yet,hearing the jazz dude tell me he was into Coltrane gave me great hope that the all powerful social media algorithm can be subverted.

Today in I Wish This State Would Fund Education:

- $150 donated to my kid's middle school PTSA so they can try and get past $10k (for field trips, winter coats, snacks, and hygiene supplies) and towards their $20k target.

- another $85 donated to the music program, which makes no real dent in the $150 - 300k they need to keep the band teacher (or the historic jazz program), but at least pays for instruments.

I see this happening in the #film and #music industry all the time, a project gets dumped or funding runs dry, while terabytes of footage and audio sit unused. Was it all a fever dream?

Finally getting around to writing my #introduction post:

Hey! I'm River, I'm a Computer Science student in college. I like to write blogs about tech, computers, literature, leftist economics, and political science. I try to write consistently, but it doesn't always happen.

I'm a big #scifi fan, trying to do more reading in the genre lately. Something I'm also interested in is #philosophy, especially #consciousness and #religion. I'm an agnostic atheist, but I don't get weird about it.

I like to write mini-threads (~3 posts long) as a way to draft out ideas before writing bigger blog posts on my site.

I might also share some #music that I listen to, but I won't ever spam it -- I prefer to talk about things that I share.

Lover of em dashes -- humans like to use 'em too!

DM's and email are totally open to whatever, I love getting messages!

Good morning. ⏰🥱☕

10 December 2025

"Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely Someone calls on me And every now and then I spend my time in rhyme and verse And curse those faults in me

And ... as the punch …" — Tandyn Almer

This morning, Along Comes Mary has been bouncing around in my head. It’s a song from the ’60s that some of you might recall, performed by The Association. Not the usual earworm, though—the rapid-fire tumble of lyrics is hard to wrap your head around, yet it flows with a rhythm that feels almost proto-rap. The sound is good, insistent, and somehow it lodged itself in my memory.

I didn’t help matters by looking it up online and stumbling across a clip from the Smothers Brothers show—another relic of the ’60s. I hadn’t thought of the song in decades, and then suddenly, boom, there it was. Why now?

Perhaps it’s because I read a brief news note about today’s Catholic observance—the Memorial of Our Lady of Loreto, commemorating the house in Italy where tradition holds that the Virgin Mary lived at the time of the Annunciation.

Of course, the song isn’t about that Mary. Maybe it’s just name association—by The Association.

“Music is the shorthand of emotion.” — Leo Tolstoy

“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” — Bob Marley
