Revolver/In the Thick Of It

I rearranged the space that I work in at home and listen to records. The speakers used to be behind me, and spread out so I could hear the effect of the stereo channels. But I did some rearranging, so now the speakers are directly to either side, and now the music is heading directly towards me, no bouncing off the walls and curtains before they get to me.

The difference is stunning.

I scored a copy of Revolver today from my older brother and I've been listening to it with this setup. I have never really spent enough time with this album to love it, but I absolutely love it through this setup.

Blink Twice

We were scrolling through the streamers last night, looking for something to stare at, when we noticed a film called Blink Twice. It was an mystery-on-a-private-island type deal and we've enjoyed that sort of thing before.

So we gave it a go and really enjoyed it. It is directed and co-written by Zoë Kravitz, and it tells the story of a group of women invited to the island of a tech oligarch. The tension builds slowly and it's an enjoyable feminist meditation on privilege, predators and trauma.

I was surprised that I hadn't heard about the film before, so I'm tell you so you can enjoy it, too.

Another Kind of Flat

As I was riding to work this morning, I noticed that the battery on my bike was half flat. This was because I had forgotten to charge it last night. But was short of time and figured that I would make myself late if I went back for my charger.

This was foolishness.

On the bright side, I got to work and most of the way home. The trip home got slower and until the battery went completely flat, but I was only about two kilometres from home. It could keep riding it, but it was hard work.

So now I know that the range is about 40 kilometres. Oh, and I know to be a bit more careful about charging my bike of an evening.

Dysrhythmia

I have most of the Split Enz studio albums, but this one was missing. I've passed on it a few times, because it was expensive, but I picked it up a the record fair in Geelong today. I have listened to it twice tonight while I've been doing school work and I've really enjoyed it. I think it is an album that headphones really work for.
