Got into the spirit of the season (laying traps and wishing relatives away) at Home Alone in Concert with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and Sydney Philharmonia Choirs. It was a joyous performance! allrite.blog/2024/12/08/h...

South Korean president: I have declared marital law South Koreans: We're not marrying you!

Apparently the South Korean president declared martial law in order to get access to BTS, most members of whom are currently completing compulsory conscription in the services.

Hey @dangolding.bsky.social an idea for Screen Sounds if you haven't done it already: Remakes, where you play music from the original and the new version in succession.

The gesture for a WKF kumite referee to indicate time wasting is to rotate the arms around each other. I've seen a teenage panda do the same gesture after defeating an opponent in a wrestling match. No, I'm not joking.

Australians going to be practicing catching the high balls.

Suppose I should post my music stuff here more often where the music peeps hang out. But I'm mostly in the Fediverse where I can run my own instance.

In this paper, I will argue that "Yub Nub" (Ewok Celebration) demonstrates that a listener does not require an understanding of a language in order to develop a positive relationship with a song...

Spent the school holidays exploring South Korea, riding a rail bike, learning about poop at toilet shaped museums, traipsing around fortress walls and sleeping on a floor. allrite.at/category/kor...

@dangolding.bsky.social I looked through your Korean Screen Sounds show list, but are there any other more substantial and melodic Korean film scores you can recommend that aren't unobtrusive underscore or overly melodramatic?

New ABC/Disney Star Wars collaboration show just dropped: Ahn Do Calrissian's Brush With Fame. Cloud City's happiest refugee paints some of the galaxy's most famous faces as he chats to them about their lives.

Watched Picard S3 E8 tonight with my wife. They finally got the entire command crew from ST:TNG back around the table. My wife says: "Is this the new Star Trek show? Needs a name." For your consideration "Geria-Trek"

Forget hydrogen powered vehicles, I want helium powered ones. Enough of those subsonic rumbles, it's time for cars, trucks and trains that sound like chipmunks.

People are worried about AI generated music, but my question is this: If AIs can't do hands properly, how are they going to play the instruments?

Had a dream about the Mandalorian last night and woke up a bit Grogu.

“Waving to visitors while dressed in a large, ill-fitting bear suit, Mr Morrison said, “I have played no role and take no responsibility for any so-called Sun Bear scheme.”

Right now Bob Iger is out there screaming "Have you seen the success of the Barbie movie? We need to do the same, but with Star Wars figurines. Ask Ryan Gosling to play Kenner."

As Australia has a celebratory Barbie after last night's 4-0 victory in the Women's soccer, should it also embrace its inner Oppenheimer and stage a nuclear test on England in response to Maralinga? I say yes.

Well, that's shit. I suggest we just talk women's football.

Oh damn, the wickets are tracking the Matilda's score. I'm sorry, but the goal count stop now? I do not want to see the Matildas win 10-0 over Canada. Sorry.

Life is quite stressful right now so I shall try to manage my stress levels tonight by doing my best to ignore Australia in international sports matches. It's only because I care so deeply for them, you understand.

So I post something critical of cats on the internet and more cat accounts want to follow me? This is suspicious behaviour!

Very unexpected to wake up this morning and find Australia none for 135. Least stressful result: Day 5 washout. Best result: Australia makes 249, 0 wickets. All English claims null and void. Likely result: Warner wakes up thinking he can smash the ball and Australia collapse.

There are so many cat photos, videos and cat-related posts out there that they must be using shit-tonnes of energy to transmit, store and clog my feeds. A large proportion of that energy comes from fossil fuels. For the sake of the planet we need a smaller internet free of cats. Dog pics are fine
