@quinn i’ve had a set of technics 1200s since 2002, the tonearm is the weakest part (naturally) and it plays records just fine imo. all my audiohead friends kinda dismiss it or politely say nothing, but it’s a solid build and great quality, feels the opposite of the delicate you get from Actually Nice turntables, i only worry about the needle getting bounced around by houseguests and even not that much tbh

just top tier stuff, like, down to the > 10mins of audience noise you get in Knee 1 with people just milling as the show has clearly begun already. but like, that was the whole point, it is almost striking that there’s not more audience noise throughout. although there’s clearly a human angle to this, i can’t help but get over the feeling that it was meant to be seen in the way that you might experience art at a museum, with people coming and going.

i’m reminded of “Untitled” (Go-Go Dancing Platform)” by Felix Gonzalez-Torres where the gimmick is that you can only see the dancer but you can’t hear what they’re dancing to or even know where you are in the performance (since the performance may not be scheduled consistently). youtube inconsistently resurfacing EotB to me has a similar vibe tbh.

shoutout to the person who uploaded this entire 2014 production of einstein on the beach to youtube. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcZYWt3Yqd_NsZc7YwjpRFt5_6RQVJoIm

lots of takeaways, but the main one for me has been that i watch it via picture in picture while i work and then sometimes i just close it, the next time i watch something on youtube another video in the playlist is recommended or it continues the one i was watching, it's like a super long async viewing experience, feels entirely appropriate for the content

@jeremyosborn to be clear i’m absolutely sympathetic to the author/book, but ya know, it’s a real hilarious move which i’m sure is not daunting once you do it or if, you know, your restaurant’s daily prep work involves this

@harshil i too dream of a Third Place for my butter. it’s not the same but a chef i worked with turned me on to doing a coarse microplane of frozen irish/amish butter, it’s great on toast, lovely ribbons of butter almost like bonito flakes if you get the timing right

@siracusa @phongg i have that sel35f18 apsc lens and also love it for portraiture, those primes are great, absolutely recommend the newish low price compact primes like the sel50f25g for your a7iii, similar price point and all around solid lens for snapshots or portraits

@ponfarr absolutely, i got gifted like 20 vanilla beans once for my birthday like 15 years ago, it was liberating being able to use them with reckless abandon, totally demystified them for me.
